June is a moderately active month, with four planetary stations, Mercury retrograde and another Grand Sextile pattern. The cardinal Grand Cross will be activated again, though not as intensely. The Summer Solstice in Cancer also occurs in mid-month. We begin June under a recent New Moon in Gemini, which began on May 28, with a focus on communication, education and mental patterns.
The dwarf planet Ceres turns stationary direct in Libra on June 1. This may signify a growing public awareness of issues connected with our food supply, such as the effects of GMOs (genetically modified organisms), radiation threats, pollution, factory farming, etc. Ceres in Libra also suggests striving for more personal balance in the areas of nutrition and diet.
