Summer Solstice 2026: Finally, Some Relief | Weekend Astrology + All 12 Signs
Added:Hello, Archie Dunlop here with Talking Astrology with Archie. And in this video, I'm going to be talking about the weekend of June the 20th and 21st, 2026.
And this weekend, we have the solstice.
In the northern hemisphere, it is the summer solstice when uh the sun moves out of Gemini and into Cancer. And in the northern hemisphere, it is of course the longest day on on Sunday. I think uh the Sunday is is this day of the solstice. And in the southern hemisphere, it is the shortest day. So astrologically, it is a moment of real power. And I will be talking about the solstice uh quite a lot over the course of a video. And I will be talking about the you know the solstice in general and you know also you how the solstice is going to uh impact each of the 12 signs.
But uh you know I'm going to start by looking at the weekend um in general astrologically. So here is uh the chart of the weekend. Uh you don't forget by the way to yeah you like and subscribe um you know if appropriate. So this chart is set for uh midnight on Sunday June the 21st. So that is you know the middle of a weekend New York time. And uh the moon at midnight is at uh 20° uh 20° 53 um Virgo and uh the moon what's the moon doing?
The moon is doing quite a lot. Uh so the moon is making quite a lot of aspects um over the weekend. It makes uh what does it do? It makes a sexile to Mercury. It makes a shrine to Mars and it makes a uh a sexile to Jupiter. Uh so you know those aspects are certainly fortunate but you know we shouldn't forget that the moon is in the moon is in Virgo for pretty much uh all the weekend. I mean it is true that uh at uh uh 5 to 10 in the sorry 5 to 10 in the evening London time or 5 to 11 in the evening London time on Sunday uh the moon moves into Libra. So on Sunday afternoon if you're in the Americas uh the uh the moon moves into Libra. So okay the Virgo moon is not in Virgo all weekend but it's certainly in Virgo for most of the weekend. And so you know with uh moon in Virgo uh it's it's it's perhaps a time when you know we are aware of the material world. We are aware of what's in the material world. You know Virgo is a very health orientated sign. You know we might be you know sensitive to pollutants chemicals additives. We want sort of fresh air. uh if there's if the air is bad, fumes, whatever that can be a feature of uh the moon, moon in Virgo, but you know, it's not all things being equal, moon in Virgo is not a particularly excitable sign and by definition it's it's fairly down to earth. and uh the moon uh the moon's aspects to uh Mercury, Jupiter, and uh Mars, you could argue are quite constructive, you know. So, if we want to get things together over the weekend, perhaps there some unfinished business that's sort of hanging over from earlier in the week, I think we can. So, it's it's it's quite a a well organized weekend. I think it can certainly can be um with with the moon in uh moon in Virgo. You know, additionally the moon in Virgo is arguably bringing together Mercury and Jupiter. So we have the beginnings of a Mercury Jupiter conjunction. Uh and yeah, it's been building up for some time, but we've got Mercury at 23 and a half Cancer, Jupiter at 28 Cancer. Uh so you know they're you know less than 5° apart and so you might think oh that's you know that's good but this Mercury Jupiter conjunction never happens and you know the reason is because Mercury is really starting to slow down and uh of course uh the end of a month here's nearly the end of a month Mercury goes retrograde and in fact Mercury stays in Cancer until I think it's August the 10th. So although this Mercury Jupiter conjunction never happens, you could argue that the moon kind of brings it together because the moon makes sexile to Mercury, then it makes a sexile to Jupiter and between those two sexiles, it makes a trine to Mars. And so you know the moon in a horoscope is is function. I mean it moves just much faster than anything else. you know without the moon nothing happens. There can be plenty of potential but without the moon nothing comes together. Uh it's it's it's really important and so perhaps moon in Virgo through our own efforts or through someone else's efforts um things can come together and perhaps that Mercury Jupiter conjunction and in its potential can be fulfilled.
So what is the potential of a Mercury Jupiter conjunction? I mean I think it's quite an optimistic influence. Okay, it's not super excitable because it's in cancer, but you know, it's just this quiet optimism and a quiet positivity and the moon brings it together and so in a in a way that is, you know, perhaps u yeah quite perhaps methodical but things can come together in really you know quite a quite a satisfactory way and of if you're talking about relationships you know I mean it it impacts relationships for everyone but especially uh for um the signs which are ruled by Mercury and Jupiter which would be um you know Gemini, Virgo, uh Sagittarius and Pisces you that Mercury Jupiter conjunction can be about relationships and so if relationships are important to you it could be that you moon in Virgo with its attention to detail and also being quite methodical local um it can perhaps bring people together. Yeah. And those four signs may be particularly impacted by it. But I think you know everyone regardless of your sign I think relationships can can really uh um be improved and developed.
But it's it is um through um one's own efforts I think or one's own efforts that's not quite what I wanted to say just by a a careful attention to detail.
I mean I know that relationships uh and again I'm talking about all kinds of relationships you know relationships are supposed to be spontaneous and so on but still you've got to very often do some preparation and that might be might be how those aspects aspects um work now as far as you know the balance of the activity in the weekend is concerned um really most of the activity is on is on Sunday on on Saturday there isn't a massive amount going on at least on paper when I you know when I look at uh the main aspects at least from a from a sort of British summertime perspective you know the emphasis does seem to be on Sunday rather than rather than Saturday and uh you know on Saturday the main aspect is a a bquintile between the sun and pluto uh so the sun and pluto are 144 degrees apart and you know when you're talking about by quintiles you these aspects by quintiles. You know, it's 144° which is two-fifths of a circle. So, it's a very much a number five num um aspect and it's it's what we are trying to create and it has an optionality to it.
So, it doesn't necessarily have to happen but if we want to have an influence, if we want to bring to bear that Pluto energy, we can.
If we want to create a transformation, we can. But it has to be prepared. We have to and we also need to have that will. So we have to decide that we want something to happen and that happens in our head.
We we we make that decision. We are sure we want it to happen and then we develop a plan and we just go through it in a systematic way. So that sun by quintile Pluto isn't necessarily very spontaneous.
It might seem spontaneous. It seems powerful. So if you see people really trying to throw their weight around on Saturday, trying to have an influence and it might seem all very dramatic and spur of a moment. I don't think it is spur of a moment necessarily. It might be carefully carefully planned. So you know do think about it. you know, whether it is you trying to create change or um whether it is uh someone else. Now, the main thing going on over the weekend is uh of course the summer solstice uh the sun moving into Cancer and uh that is uh something I will talk about uh in a few minutes time. But let me first of all uh just look at uh the planets uh if we just set the chart for Australia or and New Zealand. If we set the chart for Sydney uh because you the time zone the time difference between Sydney and New York is huge and that's why I do uh have a separate chart for that to take into account the fact that people do watch these videos from Australia and New Zealand and the Philippines and so forth. And so if you are in Australia or New Zealand or East Asia, you know, the moon is uh you know is earlier in the sign. Uh you know there it is moon moon is at 13° Virgo. And that certainly means that the moon is going to be in Virgo you know you know all weekend. And as far as you know what aspects the moon makes, I mean the moon doesn't do a great deal on Saturday. So I'm not saying there's a huge amount of difference by the way between um Australia and New Zealand and um and the United States for example. U at least this weekend there isn't much of a difference. Uh I mean the moon the moon will eventually make that uh that shrine to that sorry that sexile to Mercury but they know that's not for quite a lot of time and so I'm thinking that if you are in Australia or New Zealand um I think the weekend might take actually quite a long time to develop uh longer certainly longer than if you're in the Americas. So if you find that on Saturday and even much much as Sunday not much is going on then um you know don't be surprised and you may be much more reliant on that sun quintile Pluto. So if you were you were listening to me and I was talking when I was talking about sunquintile by quintile Pluto that's about you having to make things happen. So if you are in Australia or New Zealand, I think uh it it may be an uneventful or an even unsatisfactory weekend until right at the end unless you have real willpower, unless you're prepared to really um force things through. And then uh there is the uh heliocentric picture um putting um the sun at the center of the solar system. Uh so where is the earth? Um, Earth is at 29° 49 Sagittarius. And that just remind us reminds us that in a heliocentric chart uh the uh earth is is always um is always um opposition the sun and uh the earth you can see the earth is uh making a trine to Mars. It might not seem obvious because heliocentric Mars has just moved into Taurus.
I don't know about heliocentric signs whether one should look at heliocentric signs. I believe that some astrologers who use heliocentric astrology I think they use it I think it's it is quite widely used or used to be quite widely used for those trying to make stock market predictions. And I think heliocentric sign changes were often seen as being important um in financial astrology. I mean don't don't quote me on that. Uh but I I that was certainly something I remember when looking at the work of some heliocentric astrologers. I don't know how many astrologers are using the helioentric approach but uh you know the earth is uh is making a trine to Mars and and you know that that trine to Mars may sort of stir things up. it may be a a sort of a call for action and so if action is important uh we want to make things happen then um I I think I think we we we can I don't think there's uh you know anything else to report I probably missed something but so anyway that's that's a heliocentric picture and now I want to turn to the solstice so the solstice is u the moment uh when uh you know the sun uh peaks uh when it's you know in the northern hemisphere uh when we have sort of maximum hours of uh daylight southern hemisphere minimum hours of daylight and it's traditionally seen as being a moment of um great power and it's also the moment that uh yeah the sun goes into cancer you know there is a lot of confusion here. I I think you know when I look at the comments um you know you get some people talking about offocus and the 13th sign and and so forth and uh I don't quite get this obsession with offocus because uh you know astrology western astrology is uh is not constellational and you know there used to be these articles maybe they still exist but in the tabloid in the tabloid news newspapers, you know, I remember sort of in the ' 90s, every few years, you'd have an article about how astrology is nonsense because the the because the constellations don't line up. What about offocus and so on, but the reality is that western astrology doesn't use constellations. It's seasonal. Uh I know that sounds uh rather unromantic, but it is. It's it it is seasonal. And uh the constellation of cancer well I mean it's good to know where it is but the point is the sun goes into cancer at the moment of the solstice in the same way that the sun goes into Aries at at the moment of the equinox or likewise it goes into libra at the moment of the other equinox and with the sun in Capricorn you know that's that's a solstice point. So that is how the how the constellations work.
Certainly in terms of uh western astrology and thinking about offocus and 13 signs and constellational astrology um I think it's it's in a way it's quite whimsical. I mean I know some people like to be different just for the sake of it. They like to have their own unique system. But uh you know don't worry about sort of it's it's uh yeah it's kind of interesting but uh not much more. Uh anyway um as far as uh the solstice is concerned it is a moment of of great power and traditionally it is a moment of great power. uh you know Robert Graves in uh the white goddess uh the book that I will always do always at the time of solstice I I talk about uh Robert Graves and the white goddess. So if you've been looking if you've been listening to my videos for a long time and you'll perhaps have a certain sense of weariness as I repeat myself but uh he had this sort of interesting idea in in the white goddess. So, you know, Robert Graves was a was a poet and he was he was an academic and he he really uh understood the language of poetry and he was very much into sort of mythology and he talked about the the tradition, how you a king would be elected and the king would have a um would have a deputy, the tannist. And uh I think if if you're if you're Irish, you I believe that the deputy prime minister in Ireland, it's called something like the tannist or whatever. I mean, I I don't know anything about Ireland, but I think that there's a you know, it is it is cognate with um with uh with with uh Celtic is it? Uh anyway, uh so the king is elected and he has a deputy and uh at the solstesses, one of the solstesses, I think it's the uh the winter solstice, uh the king is torn apart.
Uh and he is killed in the most sort of horrific kind of way. I think he might even be eaten and his tannist uh takes over from him. And then the tannist has six months of being king and then the next solstice he likewise is killed torn apart and and you have uh you elect or you choose a new king. So uh there is something quite sinister about uh about the solstesses and and this idea about sort of ancient practices uh kind of reminiscent of uh you know of of of the wicker man. But uh yeah, it is it is certainly it is certainly a moment of power and the the precise moment of that solstice may be of uh you know occult significance. Uh uh so you know here is here is the precise moment of of the solstice. Uh uh I've gone for 925. It might be 9:24 depend. I looked at um what's this? I looked at Mitchellson's ephemeris. I think he said 924. Uh 925 is is uh another alternative. You know, do check if you're really into precise precise moments. Um but you know, it's it's sometimes done that one wants to to mark the solstice. You know, one could have a moment of silence. Uh one could have a ritual during the solstice. But, you know, I remember, you know, in the 80s, uh, in the early ' 80s going to Stonehenge. It was was it was a festival. I don't know, there was a music festival. Hawwind always used to turn up at in the early 80s at Stonehenge and it was a free festival and uh it it didn't have the commerciality of Glastenbury. It was uh some something more sort of primal about it. This was a time when when the Stonehenge was not sort of fenced off. Uh people would, you know, at the time of the solstice, you know, but druids would show up and uh but the druids um there was a sort of I don't know, there was a sort of distance between the festival and the druids. But the thing about celebrating the solstice is that it's not con it's not necessarily convenient. You celebrate the solstice when the solstice happens.
You don't just do it. Oh, you know, I don't know, sunrise on a Saturday and a sunrise on a whatever on maybe even on the nearest weekend. I mean, I think you're able to choose the day, but you know, it can happen at some very inconvenient times. So, for example, 9:25 a.m. on a Sunday if you are in London is a wonderfully convenient time to celebrate the solstice. You do not have to get up in the middle of the night. It's just straightforward. Um, so, uh, it's not such a pain to get up at 9:25. Now, if you are in California, by contrast, um, the solstice is at, uh, 124, 1:25, um, in the morning. Uh, now that is, uh, not so convenient, is it? Uh, it's, it's it really is, um, you know, the middle of the night. And so if you want to celebrate the solstice and you want to do it properly and you're in California, you've got to make sure you're up at uh you know 124 125. If you're um if you're in New York uh it's happening at uh 4:25 that's or Chicago is 3:25 in the morning. So uh if yeah if you want to celebrate it you've got to do it properly not some sort of general moment you know the dawn on a dawn on a Sunday or whatever it does happen at a precise moment but that precise moment why is it why is it important well I think the the solstice is is a gateway uh a gateway to hell not necess I'm just I'm ex I'm I'm teasing there but you know it is a gateway to everything uh whatever's going on in the cosmos, it's something is open for a split second and you could argue that you know the cosmos is imprinting itself um on the earth at that at the precise moment of the solstice. Uh so you could then say that you know you look at what is going on you know from an aspect point of view um and and that might tell you something certainly about the next 3 months between now and the equinox the equinox at the end of September. So what uh is this chart telling us? So, this is a chart set for London. What you're looking at um at at the at the moment of the solstice. Um it's uh a chart that uh I mean, I don't think that it's necessarily um that that spectacular. Um I mean okay Mars is in the 10th house and you know we know that in the United Kingdom there's going to be all sorts of turmoil now that uh Andy Bernham has been elected to parliament. So Kier Stalmer's position is now pretty much unt untenable. Um, so you can see how this is, you know, this might this might affect um, London in different ways because, you know, with the solstice you you set this chart, you can set it for different locations, but I think it's best to just look at it from a general perspective. And I I I don't think anything, you know, desperately stands out about this about the chart. I mean okay the moon is making a trine to Mars and so with moon trine Mars of the time of a solstice it it's quite a close trine additionally the moon is making a sexile to Mercury so you know I think we can perhaps be quite positive about this solstice in one sense that you know things are perhaps moving it might be a good a good time for communications for getting our message across uh for publishing ing our message. Uh but it's it's done in a way that is quite subtle because you know this is moon in Virgo uh sexile mercury in um sexile mercury in cancer and but but also Mars is involved. So it's uh quite quite strident communication. Uh but I think the some people are able to get their message across and if there's something we want to say, we've been meaning to say it. Uh then maybe now is the time because we shouldn't forget that Mercury is going to go retrograde at the end of the month and you know while Mercury is still direct uh you know now might be our chance. Now if we want to get a get a more sort of indepth idea about the solstice uh we can of course uh you know look at the look at the midpoints. So let's uh look at the uh the 90° dial.
Uh see if there is anything um anything interesting. Uh so uh here's a 90° dial.
So at the time of the solstice obviously the sun is uh square 0 degrees Aries and in a 90°ree dial a square becomes a conjunction. And so there is the sun at the 90° 90° point. And so, you know, what we're what we're looking for is uh you know, is midpoints. You know, what are the what are the main midpoints that uh the sun and the 0 degrees Aries point are on? Well, one thing we've got it's on the Mars Pluto midpoint. Uh so there is uh there's Mars uh there's Pluto. The Mars Pluto midpoint is at uh 29 degrees 51. um Pisces. So it's exactly square um the Mars Pluto midpoint and so that's certainly one aspect of this solstice that something has to give you know Mars Pluto there's a lot of uh tension developing the you know a lot of pressure yeah something something has to give something has to give way and some people may be really desperate to force things through regardless of the cost.
Now, on perhaps a more positive note, uh this the sun is on the Jupiter Uranus midpoint. In fact, the the Jupiter Uranus midpoint is at 0 degrees 39 uh Cancer. So, the sun is is exactly on the Jupiter Uranus midpoint. And you know Jupiter Uranus uh I mean it's quite dramatic can be violent but Jupiter Uranus can be about freedom suddenly feeling that there's a sense you know a great sense of relief.
Uh remember um you know Reinhold Ebbertton in his combination of stellar influences he describes um Jupiter Uranus together as being the um how does he describe it as the uh thank the Lord aspect. So it's been a lot of pressure something been we been worried about tension I mean maybe it's the Iran war I mean maybe it's maybe it's o is it over I don't know I'm not convinced but there might be at least in the short term a feeling of relief that finally things are getting better uh things are improving our prices oil prices is going down or whatever but so that's that I'm not making any predictions about the oil price by the way um uh but But but still there is a sense in certain quarters of elation of excitement here. But there's also that Mars Pluto.
We haven't entirely forgotten our agenda. At least some people haven't forgotten their agenda. So uh you could say that it's it's quite quite an exciting um uh time for uh um uh for the world. or at least it feels at least it feels like that. And you know this this chart I did I did set this chart for London and if you if you set the solstice for London uh this solstice is actually on the ascendant it's fairly close to the it's exact exactly on the ascendant midheaven midpoint. Uh so if we if we go back to the go back to the chart uh again this is this is for London you know there's there's there's the ascendant there's the midheaven uh so you can see that the sun is halfway through halfway between the two and the sun is on the Jupiter Uranus midpoint and it's on the Mars Pluto midpoint and you know that may say something about the short-term atmosphere in the UK and so what you know what We've had, you know, we've had this bi-election, you know, Andy Burnham has won this bi-election.
It is generally generally seen likely that Andy Bernham is very soon going to be the British prime minister uh that he's going to replace Karma. And you know, a lot of people are excited about it. You know, if you're certainly if you are uh a supporter of the Labor Party, you've you've seen Andy Burnham win the bi-election. you've seen him defeat the right in in this bi-election. Although there is a view about him that people didn't necessarily vote for Andy Bernham because because they supported the Labour party. They just wanted they supported they voted for Andy Bernham because they wanted to get rid of Kia Stalmer. But there is that sense perhaps in the UK. Oh, thank the lord finally uh kastama is going to go shortterm big sense of relief and the sun Aries point is on the Mars Pluto midpoint a really well that might be karma really trying to hang on. uh but I I think it's quite it's quite it's quite a it's quite a powerful chart for the UK but you have to look at midpoints and I think this is a reminder that you know midpoints in astrology really really are are important and uh in terms of uh you know other places uh let's just look at look at Washington DC for example so if we set the solstice to Washington DC we see uh what do we see well Uranus is quite close to the ascendant. Um, but it's not it's not exactly there. I mean, it's in fact it's six degrees six degrees apart. Uh, you've got Venus Venus sexile the Venus sexile the ascendant um in Washington DC. So, that's not so bad. Um, there is perhaps a feeling of relief.
Uh, feeling quite good. Uh, that's not so bad. No. Uh, but you know, don't forget with America, you know, we need to be looking forward to July the 4th and of course on July the 4th as a Mars Uranus conjunction on pretty you on the day. Uh, so that that 250th anniversary linked up with Mars Uranus that that's that's certainly certainly interesting and uh, of course Terran is always on our mind. So uh if we set the solstice for for Teran um the sun is quite close to the mid heaven. Uh the moon is quite close to the ascendant. Um I I don't know if it's I mean there's nothing that necessarily grabs me as being, you know, this is a really really significant chart, something that we really need to be thinking about. I think it's it's a more powerful chart if we if we set it if we set the chart for Dubai. So, of course, Dubai has been uh really hammered um by the war uh where Iran its economy has been smashed. All the influences have left and uh so uh the sun is uh uh sun is on the uh Jupiter Uranus midpoint. So it may be that short term with the sun on a Jupiter Uranus midpoint if we if we see Jupiter Uranus pairing as being about sort of thank the Lord.
Uh maybe there is that kind of feeling in Dubai if a war really is over a sort of sense of relief that you know things can perhaps get get back to normal or that you know that you know at least in a short term things are improving. I mean at least that's that is a way in which one can look at uh uh look at Dubai. So maybe this is positive this Jupiter Uranus and I so and I do really think thinking about it um that the that this is the key point this is the key aspect the fact that uh the solstice is on the Jupiter Uranus midpoint and uh so I'm I'm kind of inclined to go with the go with the ebetin view. I mean if we look at if we look at what Reinhold Ebbertin says in combination of stellar influences about Jupiter Uranus aside from um aside from you know thank the Lord I mean I think he's going to be pretty positive about the sun on a Jupiter Uranus midpoint um he says uh a good intellectual grasp an inventive mind far-sightedness physical agility or mobility sudden physical happiness or birth. Uh so yeah he is he is uh he is pretty positive about it. Uh but of course you know there could be a certain violence to Jupiter Uranus I mean Uranus is involve involved people want their freedom people will expect their freedom. Uh but freedom after you know a prolonged period perhaps of repression or inhibition and finally finally we get a chance. So I think there is something positive to say um about this uh solstice.
And uh now I want to turn to the uh 12 signs. So these are my forecasts uh for the 12 signs uh uh for the weekend of June the 20th and 21st 2026.
Aries, I sometimes get asked whether my charts or my astrology readings are eastern or western. Of course, I'm a western astrologer. I mean, I have an awareness of Vic astrology and indeed I sometimes use Vic astrology, but primarily um I am a western astrologer.
However, from a Vic point of view, I should point out that something is going on. And from a Vic point of view, Mars is moving into Taurus. Now, you might think that Mars has been moving into Taurus for some time. In fact, is getting ready to move into Gemini. Uh but from a from a VIC perspective uh yeah uh Mars has been in Aries for uh some time and is uh is over the weekend moving moving into cidurial Taurus. And so you could say that Mars now has a double dose of Taurus. It's now in Taurus in the east and it's in the to in Taurus in the west.
So uh if we think about uh what that sign means uh it's its power could be uh a lot more intense right now. Of course, Taurus is as a sign is seen in a different way um in the east than than in the west. Uh uh but uh it might really feel that uh you know it is time to just be concentrating on on one thing and not to be you fritter frittering away your energy moving from one thing to another thing you know getting distracted. No, I think uh right now you you're aware Aries that uh something something needs to be done and uh the faster you can do it u the better. But uh you know Taurus is not a particularly fast sign and it might be the case that uh there are a number of reasons why things take uh longer than usual perhaps uh more on Saturday even though you know Saturday is is a changeover day and you perhaps one of the issues you're facing aside from you know what sign Mars is in is a feeling of uh concern that has been creeping up on you over the last couple of days. Concern u wondering uh whether this is the right thing to do, wondering you know what might go wrong. Maybe picking up on you know other people's concern because you know some people do seem to be bothered.
uh they're wondering you know what is going to happen next and you know normally Aries you know you're able to sort of maintain your independence but at the moment it might be quite difficult to do um at least maintaining your should how shall I put it your psychic independence you you can you can you can just pick up those vibes and you just uh know what people are thinking what what people are thinking and feeling and you know This does mean perhaps that you need to make sure that you've got you've got everything right, that everything really has been done being been done really properly.
And you know, it's not just about what other people are doing. It's about it's about what you're doing. And you know, as far as how you're feeling, you perhaps don't have quite as much energy as you'd like to have. And so that is a very good reason Aries to just be focusing on you know one or two things because if you try to do lots of different things uh give in to every pressure then you know your energies you know could get could get sort of scattered left right and center and you may achieve uh absolutely nothing and that is uh not something you you want to happen and so uh you know do do take it easy. I think that that really does uh really does matter. And you know as as far as the solstice is concerned, of course the solstice happens uh it happens every year. In fact, it happens twice a year, doesn't it? You've got the solstice in June and you got and you've got the solstice in December.
And this is a time of power for the average Aries. And you know with the solstice you could say that the solstice represents the lowest point. I mean I know from a northern he normous hemisphere northern hemisphere perspective you think that the sun you the sun is uh you know is you know above the horizon for you know a long time. It is after all um the longest day um over the weekend. Uh but Aries, from your perspective, regardless of whether you're north or south of the equator, uh you you you you just feel that in a way this might be a bit of a low point. When I say a low point, I'm not talking about a low point that is necessarily uh bad or you know where or you know a time where there is excessive negativity although I think it could be some negativity and fear around today. But you know from now on things arguably are you know getting better. things are maybe improving and between now and the next solstice the solstice at the end of December uh we have uh you know we have the sun from a from a perspective of your chart I mean you look at you you know here is a chart uh with Aries on the left you can see the sun is right at the bottom of the chart and uh in six months time it'll be it'll be at the top of the chart uh so for you know from now on you you are you're arguably um you're arguably gaining, you're climbing and things might in a very general sense um be be improving. Uh now I you know I don't want to you know suggest that you know everything is uh everything is a little bit everything is negative today.
I mean I I you know negative uh you know I don't really I don't want to suggest suggest that and you know the moon right now is uh well at midnight uh it's midnight on Sunday uh the moon is in Virgo and it's applying to a trine of Mars and so Sunday sees sees sees an exact moon Mars trine and I would have thought that that moon trine Mars could actually be quite useful. It allows you to get yourself together and you know it's not I don't think an exciting aspect but it allows you to think about the things that are important. So if you if you are of a view that um something has been difficult, something has been you know hard work, it might be with this moon trying Mars, you finally uh get some traction. You you finally have an opportunity to get things moving but you know in quite a slow and u methodical way. Now, right at the end of a weekend, we have uh we have what do we have? We have the uh moon moving into Libra, you know, you know, right at the end uh London time, I think at 5 to 10 in the evening on on on Sunday. Uh would be earlier on Sunday if you're in the Americas. And so when the moon moves into Libra, you know, things things do change. And I think that your priorities change. Moon moving into Libra. Well, for one thing, it's out of Virgo. And perhaps when the moon moves out of Virgo, you're perhaps feeling a little bit better. Uh you're not so worried about the material side of things. And uh you can perhaps look beyond annoying details. And also with a moon in Libra, you know, we're thinking perhaps about uh relationships and what impact certain other people have on you.
And this then says something about you know the beginning of the week and how the next how next week is going to unfold. Now the moon when it moves into Libra it does make a a square to the sun and you so in other words that is a first quarter first first quarter moon so you got the sun in sun in cancer u making a the sun in cancer will be making a square to the moon in Libra and I think you might feel that first quarter moon because you know it is a it is a it is a cardinal first quarter moon and you feel a change. You perhaps feel the change of perhaps having to deal with certain other people but at some level you don't necessarily want to because you know as the sun moves into cancer as as you know as uh you know you know we get the the solstice uh you know that creates a change because you know the sun has been in Gemini and now it's in now in now it's in cancer Aries you might feel that you're you know somewhat uh uh you know rooted to the spot almost. I mean obviously the sun moves into cancer the same time of year you know you know every year but it can be a time when uh you know many arens you know want a change of gear. Yes, in in a broad and general sense, uh the the sun the sun moving into cancer might be a bit of a low point and from now on things are uh the things are on the up but that immediate changeover just might be a time when you want to uh you want to retreat and you you want to make sure that uh you know you are in control and then moon square of a sun I mean moon square of a sun could an irritant, someone who perhaps has to be dealt with, but you don't really want to deal with them. You know, you know, as an Aries, you can be quite independent and you want to do things your way, but sometimes there are things that uh really uh can't be avoided. And it might just be a question of uh of obligation. And you know if we're talking about obligation um from a uh from a heliocentric perspective you know just a reminder of the heliocentric chart you know here it is uh sort of heliocentrically uh well this is this is so this is uh the heliocentric chart let me just really uh make it the heliocentric chart. Yeah that is the heliocentric chart. So you know heliocentrically there is a change but helioentrically Mars is still quite close to Mars is still quite close to Chiron. It might not seem like it because Mars has just changed a sign but no has just changed sign. When you've got Mars Mars close to Kiron as it is um heliocentrically there is a feeling of obligation that that uh something is wrong and you want to you want to address it and you want to um perhaps put it right. And there might be that feeling and maybe when you're with other people, you know, that obligation can't uh entirely be uh be suppressed. So if you do feel a sense a sense of obligation, you know, don't be surprised. But uh it doesn't necessarily mean that you immediately, you know, have to do, you know, anything about it because I think, you know, fundamentally, Aries, I think it's important to um look after yourself.
But still, you know, as you move into next week with the moon moving into Libra, it does seem that there are certain people who can't entirely be avoided.
Taurus, so you are aware of uh a number of changes. is, you know, when I did uh the video sort of yesterday for Friday, uh I talked about the fact that, you know, Kiron has just gone into Taurus. I'm not saying that you're going to immediately feel Kiron in Taurus. I mean, Kiron is a, you know, it's a very slowm moving body and it's a very small body. It's just it's just a comet really. And uh I don't think if one's doing doing charts, if one's doing astrology, one necessarily has to uh you know, pay attention to to Karon. I mean, I've only really been bothering with Kiron in the last couple of years. And I I don't think it's necessarily obligatory to use Karon, but it's just that sort of added thing that is perhaps, you know, worth looking at.
And now that now that uh caron has moved into Taurus, you you are feeling that maybe there's just uh something you need to pay attention to that perhaps in the past you had ignored. And it's not just Karon and Taurus. It's not just about wounds and the wounded healer. It's it's also about what you feel you need to do. And sometimes you feel an urge to do something which you kind of know isn't in your best interests but you might nonetheless feel you have to go through with it. I mean you have to perhaps uh stand up for yourself perhaps even also stand up for other people. And additionally we have got uh Mars uh moving into your sign both zodiacs. So I I mean I know Mars has been moving through Taurus uh uh for some time. In fact, Mars is getting ready to move into move into Gemini. Uh but if you're into Vic astrology uh then uh Mars moves into Taurus this weekend. So uh uh you could say that Mars is in Taurus now in both zodiacs and so you know Mars is a planet of assertion and with with Mars kind of being a bit of a double Taurus then you know this might be a time where you feel that you really have to uh you know apply yourself that something needs to be done that you need to see things through and you know if you don't if you do nothing. Uh then Taurus, there might be a feeling of of tension.
Uh just uh something uh not entirely right that something has to give. I mean, I think you're going to feel that tension anyway.
I mean, you're picking up on, you know, something going on out there. No one is entirely 100% relaxed and you just feel that uh something has to give. You know if you do nothing then uh the tension starts to rise. You can feel the the constriction. On the other hand uh if you were to act well uh what might go wrong? Well things could in theory go wrong but I think there is a place for a degree of fearlessness. I mean not crazy fearlessness. I mean don't do anything uh you know really really mad uh particularly on particularly on a physical level. I mean after all Mars in Taurus you could argue that that might make you sort of more sort of accidentprone than usual but you know I don't want you to get worried about nothing and uh you know always you know think about what you want to do. It is the weekend.
Uh the moon is in Virgo. Uh the moon is uh is in an is in an earth sign. In other words, it's in a sign which is um friendly to um the average Taurus. And I I think that uh you know as as as the weekend progresses I think you are going to feel uh more more and more energy because you know what's happening is that the moon is applying to a trine of Mars and you know this moon trine Mars for you Taurus you know looks looks really good. It really allows you to um not just be assertive but to also be you know really really creative and you yeah you can do things properly but you can also do a really good job and most importantly you you can you can enjoy yourself and the moon in fact the moon doesn't just make a it doesn't just make a a trine to Mars it also makes a sexile to Jupiter in makes a sexile to Mercury. So, the moon is doing some great stuff here and and this really is a time when you can uh assert yourself, be yourself and really communicate very effectively, you know, especially on especially on Sunday. I think overall Sunday is a better day than Saturday. And of course, we've also got got the got the solstice.
Of course in the northern hemisphere it's uh the longest day and uh the southern hemisphere of course is the shortest day but whichever way you look at it it's the solstice and the solstice you know the sun moves out of Gemini moves into cancer that means you got three planets in cancer and you know the sign cancer is I would have said overall is a sort of a Taurus friendly sign I mean I know the sun moves into into Cancer at the roughly the same time of year, you know, every year. But with Mercury and Jupiter also in Cancer, you know, I think that this, you know, this is a time when toans, I think, you know, can be uh more forthcoming, more sociable. uh you can be more open about uh you know what's on your mind and you know you don't have to be tied to any one person anyone place any one group so if you you if you want some variety over the weekend you know especially on Sunday uh then I I think uh you know you really should be able to find it. Uh so uh in general I think that the weekend does get does get better as it as it goes along though you know right at the end of the weekend or you know into Monday the moon does move into does move into Libra and you know that does create a change of pace and you know with the moon moving into Libra it's you know it's perhaps not enough just to be yourself, to do things you enjoy, you have to perhaps be a little more careful, you know, making sure that you know everything is uh done right.
Okay, you might have started things and it might have been fun to start things but at a certain stage you have to uh bring them under control and if you want to if you want to continue with something it perhaps requires uh more discipline but you know that's something you can by and large worry about on Monday and you know the beginning of uh the new week Gemini you're feeling uh a bit pressurized Ed, you know, it's nothing too serious, but you feel that uh things are not just going to, you know, happen, you know, all by themselves and that uh if you want change, uh you're going to have to perhaps uh make some effort to really force it through.
And the question is are you in the mood to do that? I mean do you have the capacity? You know one thing that is happening right now Gemini is that well several things are happening. Well in a broad sense Mercury your ruler is starting to slow down.
You know it's it's slowly getting ready to go retrograde. And you know, as Mercury slows down, you just might feel that uh maybe you haven't got as much energy as as you thought you had. And so it's important that you you don't take on too much. And you know, if there is something that you want to do, then you know, make sure you you focus on it. you know, because if you try and do several things at once, it it might just be that you could end up you'll end up sort of doing absolutely nothing. So, it it very much is important that you you decide um what you decide what matters and you are quite disciplined about it. And of course, it's not just the fact that Mercury is slowing down. It's also the fact that the sun is uh leaving uh is leaving your sign.
Yes, it is. I mean, you've you've uh you've had the sun in Gemini for the last uh for the last month. I mean, nothing lasts forever. Uh it's moving into Cancer. The Gemini season is uh coming to a close. Although, you're always going to have Uranus in Gemini.
Don't worry, Uranus is there rooting for you. It's going to Gemini hasn't gone away entirely, but it's it's sort of going to be remaining at quite a collective level with that Uranus in Gemini. So, uh, sun moving out of Gemini, uh, just might feel that, uh, you might feel that perhaps you're losing some of your power.
Although, I wouldn't I wouldn't necessarily, you know, exaggerate that worry. You one thing, you know, one thing the sun is doing on Saturday is it is making a bquintile to Pluto.
So when we think about a bquintile um you know bquintile is uh an 144 degree aspect and what does 144 mean? Well, 144 is um 144° that is uh 2 fifths. Yeah, it's it's two fifths of of a circle.
And uh it's very much to do with the number five. And it is what you are, you know, trying to what you're trying to create. And with sun by quintile Pluto, there might be a certain urgency on your part, particularly at the particularly the beginning of a weekend, you might feel that you you have to do something. You have to apply yourself, you have to assert yourself, you have to create change. mentioning this is what I was saying right at the beginning of this piece on Gemini that you you know or you feel that change is required but at the same time you're just aware of everything that might be holding you back and you know rather than panic feel what you feel that you must force something through now this minute perhaps you should start to get into the energy of sun by quintile Pluto it starts with uh having an idea having a belief not just a belief in act it goes beyond belief. It it it moves from belief to actually will. It is your will for something to happen. And uh you can you can really uh really concentrate on something and in a methodical way put uh theory into practice, you know, especially on Saturday. But it yeah, it is rather contrived. It is through your own efforts and you know if you if you can do this you know I do think that you know you can um you know you can get you know real real results but you know with the sun moving into moving out of Gemini into Cancer you know it does uh you know it does change things does change the emphasis and you know remember you know Mercury is in Cancer with Mercury going about to go retrograde you know Mercury stays in Cancer for quite a long time.
It will be in Cancer.
Off the top of my head, I think I doesn't Mercury stay in Cancer until April the 10th. Uh so yeah, that is quite a long time for Mercury because Mercury you normally associate Mercury as being quite a fast mover and you know this might be a time when you know many Geminis are tied up with money. Money is something that that can't always be avoided. I mean seasonally you this might always happen when when the sun is move when the sun is moving through cancer at this time of the year but you've also got Jupiter in cancer and you've also got Mercury in cancer and you know with with Jupiter in cancer you well for the moment Jupiter is in cancer in uh you less than a couple of weeks Jupiter leaves cancer and I think that while Jupiter has been been been moving through cancer you know over the last year and more you Money has been, I think, a challenge. I mean, it's been an area of potentially of growth, but also of also of worry for for some Geminis. And now that the now that the sun is in the same sign as Gemini and Mercury is sorry the sun is in the same sign as Jupiter, Mercury about to go retrograde. I think I think you know from now on the financial side of things could be you know becoming becoming really quite quite important something that you really need to need to be need to be thinking about.
But you I'm not saying it I'm not saying it's bad. It may be that you have an opportunity really to uh to get things together and uh to understand, you know, what exactly it is um that uh Jupiter is is telling you to do or advising you to do. Of course, Jupiter is not some external body. I mean, it is an external body, but that you should see Jupiter as being a part of who you are. There's that there's that side to you that is thinking about the bigger picture. You know what's the best for you and uh it would be great if you could sort out the financial side of things if you could uh put some financial concern or even a financial misunderstanding if you could you know put it to rest and you know as as as we move into Sunday. I mean, Sunday, you know, sees the sun the sun in cancer. I mean, the sun I mean, the sun moves into Cancer, I think, at 9:25 uh in the morning, London time. So, that would be uh you know, very early on Sunday if you if you if you're in the Americas. And so, the sun in Cancer, you know, you can feel the change. And it's not just about money. It's also about perhaps wanting to slow things down. And it might be actually be quite a good thing to slow things to slow things down. I mean, the moon is making sexiles to Mercury and Jupiter. And I think those sexiles to Mercury and Jupiter really could uh, you know, work work for you. And it you might just see that actually the universe is on your side and maybe other people are on your side as well because uh you know Mercury is moving towards a conjunction to Jupiter. I mean it appears to be moving towards a conjunction to Jupiter. I mean Mercury and Jupiter you know only 5 degrees apart. So I think you know Jupiter it's a planet of good luck. Uh Mercury uh moving towards it. I mean that you could say that that is uh you know financial good luck and I'm not saying that Sunday is going to see anything specifically good happening in a in a financial sense or indeed in any other sense but uh the the fact that the moon makes a sexile to Mercury and and a sexile to Jupiter does suggest that the moon is kind of bringing Mercury and Jupiter together. I mean moon the moon is process in a chart and it's you know it it represents you know the lines of communication it allows things to come together and you know if you are concerned about money or something something material it perhaps is a case that the solution is uh not out there on the other side of the world but the solution is actually at home it's uh in your immediate sphere perhaps you could argue you that the solution to any financial concern you might have is uh almost in your hands but uh you have to make sure that you look down you can see that it is in your hands or is by your side you don't have to move you just have to perhaps reach and but uh that means you have to open your eyes and uh look in the uh right place cancer well cancer the uh the cancer season is is with us uh it is the weekend of the solstice. uh the northern hemisphere that is the uh that is the summer solstice and uh you know in theory at least you know for the average cancer you know this is a a time of power over the next month um uh the sun is moving the sun is moving through your sign uh there may be things that you have been holding back on and uh now uh it's time to be uh you know moving forward you it's not not a time, not a time for retreat really. Um, yeah, you know, far from it. Uh, so, you know, if you have been holding back, then you know, perhaps it's time to put things into action. Although, you don't forget that on Saturday, uh, the sun is still in Gemini. It's only on Sunday that the sun the sun makes the sun makes that same makes that sign change. But you know even before even before the sun is in uh cancer you know you've got you've got the moon in Virgo and you know the moon in Virgo you know that is you know that's that's a pretty good sign for the moon to be in.
I mean the moon is uh in the in the third house from cancer. you know, Cancer house number one, uh, Leo house number two, Virgo house number three, and you know, the moon joys in the moon joys in Virgo. So, you know, it is a time when you're, you know, when you're feeling pretty good about yourself and you know, the moon while it's moving through Virgo, it it applies to um, you know, it makes a sexile to Mars. It makes a sorry, it makes a sexile what does it do? makes a sex doll to Mercury.
It makes a trine to Mars. It makes a sex dolly to Jupiter. Uh so, you know, that is uh that's all pretty positive. And so, Cancer, you know, really um you know, have a good weekend, you know, especially on sat on Sunday. I mean, I think Sunday could be a really good day, really active day. On Saturday, maybe you not quite so much. In fact, astrologically, uh, there's not a huge amount going on on Saturday. I mean, that doesn't mean to say nothing's going to be going on in the world on Saturday, but on a sort of a personal level at the level of the individual, I mean, Saturday doesn't doesn't seem to be a huge amount to to rep to report. Um uh but but still um the moon is in Virgo throughout the throughout the weekend and the moon even on Saturday is applying to a sex style to a sex style of Mercury and so you know it it does mean that you're feeling I think uh you know increasingly good about yourself and you know don't forget cancer that you know Jupiter remains in your sign okay it's getting closer and closer to leaving the sign uh but you know it's still there and you know the moon picks up on it. In fact uh you know right now we have a conjunction between Mercury and Jupiter and uh this uh this Mercury Jupiter conjunction is not exact. It's you four or five degrees apart. And this Mercury Jupiter conjunction actually never happens. I mean it certainly doesn't happen in Cancer. I mean when when Mercury does make a conjunction to Jupiter that that conjunction will be when Jupiter is in Leo and it won't take place until sort of later in the northern he in the nor northern hemisphere summer but the moon is uh bringing bringing the conjunction together because the moon makes makes a sexile to to Jup to Mercury then it makes a tr then then it makes a truper and and it also make sorry so sorry let me get make that get that clear moon makes a sexile to Mercury then it makes a sexile to Jupiter and between those two sexiles it makes a tr makes a trine to Mars and so I think that Sunday is a Mercury Jupiter day Mercury Jupiter in your own sign and that might be about uh you know understanding you know when you think about the role of Mercury um in a horoscope and you know I've been thinking quite a lot about Mercury you know Mercury is quite a difficult planet to understand in a way because uh you know Mercury kind of like the moon is is a planet that that brings things together that sends messages allows for a a line of communication but it also is uh is quite changeable and and it kind of takes on the quality of its of its environment and as the environment changes so does Mercury change and so it it uh yeah it it does still facilitate communication and I think it facilitates your understanding of what Jupiter in Cancer is all about. You know, we've, you know, we have uh all sorts of ideas about what Jupiter and Cancer means for the average Cancerian and this is something that's been always been always talked about on the comments of this of this of this channel. um you know whether or not it's a whether or not Jupiter in Cancer is working and I I know that you know not everyone is happy with the way Jupiter in Cancer has been working but uh you know right now uh you could you could argue that Jupiter Jupiter in Cancer is prominent because the moon is making a sexile to Jupiter because uh Mercury is starting to make a conjunction to Jupiter and of course Jupiter with Jupiter in Cancer you know this is a time of uh good fortune at least on paper and I think that there is certainly something you can do or discuss on Sunday which uh can can boost your luck. So I think that that is something to look forward to and yeah and also of course we've got the solstice um with the sun moving into your sign. You know it is uh it's perhaps uh you know the beginning of you know your time of year when yeah then maybe finally you can uh take full advantage of Jupiter in your sign. Now, one thing we do have at the end of week at the end of the weekend is uh a a first quarter moon and I think this first quarter moon uh is potentially quite important particularly particularly for cancerians. Uh so you know I've talked about the moon being in Virgo but you right at the end of a weekend uh the moon uh the moon changes sign it it uh yeah it's it uh it moves out of Virgo and into Libra. Let me just make sure I've got the time of this sign change uh right. So the moon yeah the moon changes sign moved out of Virgo into Libra at uh 2155 on Sunday evening. So that is London time at you know 5 to 10 in the evening.
So that will be uh uh you know in the afternoon if you're in the Americas.
Okay. Not until tomorrow if you're in Australia or or or Asia or most of Asia. Um, so with the moon in le with the moon moving into Libra, you know, right at the end of the weekend, I I don't think it's really something you need to think about in a way this weekend. I mean, it's more about uh it's more about Monday, but perhaps you need to be get get ready for that sign change. So, when the moon moves into Libra, yeah, it makes makes a square to a sign in Cancer. And although this is a time for uh cancerians to really you know move forward with things right at the end of a weekend and into the beginning of next week as the the moon moves into Libra it just might be temporarily a time where you just need to kind of uh you know stop what you're doing or just re-evaluate it because you know this this uh sign change it coincides with a first quarter moon. So we've got you've got the sun in cancer square the moon in Libra. Uh so over the course of uh you know maybe Monday you might just feel that you're at cross purposes that uh you know part of you would really like to move forward and take new initiatives but then the moon in Libra is saying well maybe there's something else you need to consider.
for example, you know, relating to uh your sense of belonging. Are you are you really that comfortable?
Have you got everything sorted out? Are you ready to step outwards into a into a brave but interesting new world? And maybe maybe you want to pause just for a moment, you know, before you really uh fully uh fully take the initiative. But I mean I think it's it is quite exceptional that we have this first quarter moon just after um the precise moment of the solstice. And so you you might just feel that you you you kind of know you want to make things happen. You know you want to take a take the initiative but there's just something holding you back.
Something saying this is not quite the right moment. But I think that's something you need to be thinking about the beginning of the next next week. I wouldn't um worry about it too much.
Leo, you want things to happen.
I mean I think you have wanted things to happen you know for some time and you know recently you've had uh you know quite a lot of ideas a lot of sort of interesting things um going on and uh you perhaps feel that you you need to force a pace and it might almost seem to be a kind of a zero sum situation. you know, if you don't take the initiative, then you know, you might be sort of rolled over. It's kind of like that.
So, you have you have to kind of stand up for something that that that that really does matter. And if and if something is important to you, then you want to give it everything you've got. You know, you you really want to force it through. And the question is um is this something you're going to be able to do. So just because you feel urgency necessity doesn't necessarily mean that you have to just uh do it do it straight away you know really move forward. But I I think um certainly the beginning of a weekend uh there just might be a sense of pressure. I mean I mean maybe it's because the sun is about to change sign you know you've had the sun in Gemini and you you be getting used to the sun in Gemini and then you know you're wondering about you know what happens when the sun moves into cancer well yeah there is a change and and it might feel that you know if you don't do it now when you when when are you next going to have an opportunity to do it and so with the sun making a by quintile to Pluto on Saturday so that means that the Sun and Pluto are 144 degrees apart which is uh two-fifths of the circle. So you know the sun your ruler making that aspect of Pluto and you think about a bquintile it's a very five aspect you know it's what is the nature of five five is is a man-made number humanmade number it's what you are trying to create it's not a particularly natural number and you you have your idea you have your your will and now you have to put the effort into making it happen and it's all down to you. But uh you know if you're if you're clear and you're focused then on Saturday it's you have a possibility here of maybe turning uh what appears to be nothing into something creating effects out of nothing. Uh so if Saturday seems to be an empty day then it doesn't have to stay empty. I think that you you really can have an impact if you want to have an impact. But I think that this sun by quintile Pluto is quite a voluntary aspect. It's not an aspect that is going to be knocking on your door. It is going to be sort of demanding immediate attention. I don't think it's an aspect which is going to manifest through external events. It's really up to you how you uh put put things into action. Now you could say that the main thing going on you know over the weekend is uh the sun changing sign and you know every time we have uh the sun changing sign well that affects you because uh the sun is sun is your ruler and so you know on paper at least you know sun moving through cancer uh for the next month uh is is a time when you know The average Leo is uh maybe not feeling particularly active. Uh you're uh you might be feeling that you're holding something back that you don't want to be uh in the in the thick of things. And okay, you might want to be perhaps, but it doesn't feel right. And uh you know, if that's the way you feel, I I think that's absolutely fine. And it might mean you know with the sun moving through cancer that there's just less less pressure and if you want to retreat uh if you want to sort of withdraw to some extent into your private world um then I think with sun moving through cancer you you can but you know don't forget that uh you know Jupiter is uh getting ready to move into uh into Leo moving into your sign.
You that happens uh very soon at the end of the month and so uh you could say that the sun moving through cancer you it gives you perhaps a chance to prepare and also to just think about the last year and what the last year was all about. You last year might have been a time for some Leos where you weren't fully yourself. There were things that you had to maybe keep secret or you just felt that the opportunity you know the opportunity didn't exist but you know it is changing and so uh perhaps it's a time Leo when you can enjoy reflecting because uh you know this time uh you know isn't isn't going to last forever.
Now when the sun moves into cancer, it uh makes a sex dial to Chiron because Kiron is now in Taurus and you know I think that this this sun sexile car the sun sexile Kiron does matter to you.
It's not necessarily a case that you have to do anything with some sexile car on but I think it certainly makes you aware of things and I I think it does actually make you aware of um how different you are. It's you know because you know Karon you know it's not just about it's not about not just about wounds the wounded healer you know it's also the maverick. It's about the capacity for doing things differently, the capacity for thinking outside the box and you perhaps realize with with sun sexile current that you have quite a unique perspective and yeah maybe this connects with the sun moving into cancer as well because you know I I mentioned or suggested that the sun moving into cancer for you Leo might be a time where you want to withdraw where you want to sort of hold back and that might be because You just don't know how the world is going to handle you. Are people going to be prepared to listen to you? I mean, of course they're prepared to listen to you. You've got something really interesting to contribute. And when Jupiter moves into Leo in a week or two, in a less than a fortnight's time, you'll have that chance. And I think that the sun sexon just does allow you to tune into what makes you different.
And you know, it's not just about being different for the sake of it. It might be something you know quite unique, a unique perspective.
It might also be an awareness that you want to do something that is moral or ethical. You may have thoughts for example about your career. you know, if you have a job, I know it's a weekend, maybe you're not working over the weekend, but you know, if you're if you're just having a break u over the weekend, then you can sort of think things through and realize that uh maybe you haven't got things exactly right and you need to do things in a way that is uh more more in more in accord with who you are and your fundamental individuality.
And don't neglect your individuality.
You know, you're a Leo anyway. So, Leos always should uh think about how they are special always. And I think the sun sexon may really emphasize this, but it's it's nothing egotistical. It's not like you wanting attention just for the sake of it. You know, sun sexon can have a humanitarian edge to it. Perhaps uh you are aware of uh suffering in the world or suffering in your particular part of the world and with sunset or caron you want to do something about it and because it's a sex style you actually have the capacity to do something about it. So if you feel that something is wrong that something could be done better with sunset karon then you know I think it's very likely that uh you will have a chance to act and uh there may be a feeling of um obligation here Virgo the moon is moving through Virgo pretty much uh the whole of a weekend. Okay, the moon does uh it does move into Libra, you know, right at the end of a weekend. I think it moves into Libra uh at uh 5 to 10 on Sunday evening, which would be what uh 5 to 5 on Sunday afternoon if you're in New York or bit earlier in the afternoon if you're in California. But, uh you know, overall it's a it's a moon in Libra weekend and sorry, a moon in Virgo weekend. Uh so that's good for you because you know because because you are a Virgo obviously and you feel uh quite good about yourself and I think that you you have uh plenty of opportunities to do things you do things that you know you you want to do and I I think it would be a shame if you would have a boring weekend. There's no need to have a boring weekend because you know there is I think you quite a lot going on especially on Sunday. I mean yeah definitely Sunday is is a more active day than than Saturday and uh the reason the reason being is it's because it's because of aspects there is the aspect side of things. So uh the moon makes uh moon in Virgo makes a sexile to Mercury.
Uh Mercury is of course your ruler. It makes uh a trine to Mars and it makes a sexile to Jupiter. Uh so in other words, it's it's picking up on a Mercury Jupiter conjunction. Mercury and Jupiter are both in both in Cancer. So uh uh through your own actions and it doesn't have to you know you don't have to make a real effort to take action.
just through your own actions you can definitely uh make things happen. Uh from a social perspective uh I think it can be uh uh it can be quite a quite a good weekend. So if you if you want to meet people, talk to people uh perhaps people you've never talked to before, you know, now might be your chance. If you have opportunities to go to parties, other gatherings, then uh it's probably a good idea. Okay. Okay. On Saturday, things might seem a bit slow, but I think sort of late on Saturday, I think the pace the pace does does pick up. Uh so you know really you know try to you know have a busy weekend and perhaps also try to you know see things through you know with the moon making sexiles to Mercury and Jupiter you know that is kind of bringing Mercury and Jupiter together and so you know Jupiter is is is a fortunate planet and so obviously Mercury conjunct Jupiter really makes things better for yourself and it gives you good fortune but this Mercury Jupiter conjunction on its own doesn't happen. I mean, they look as if they're close, Mercury and Jupiter, they're moving in theory towards each other, but Mercury is slowing down.
Mercury is about to go retrograde. So, in fact, uh that the exact conjunction doesn't happen, but the moon brings them together.
And so with the moon bringing Mercury and Jupiter together and the moon in Virgo, that suggests your actions can make all the difference. And I don't think you have to do very much. It it just means that you know you're just prepared to take the initiative and okay to begin with the right the beginning of a weekend.
Yeah, you might think you're not accomplishing much, but if you keep keep working away, um keep suggesting u keep trying to put yourself in the the center of things, then you know, it won't be long Virgo, you know, before you start to have a a real and very constructive influence.
And you know, also with you know, moon trine Mars, that's a that's a very energetic aspect.
It does allow you to get things together. It allows you to, you know, think about new things. It allows you to give yourself a w a broader perspective.
So you you don't have to be tied to any form of sort of obligation.
Not at all. It you know you should do things because you want to do do them, not because anyone expects you to do it.
So you can you can you can act, you know, act off your own bat and uh if you if you want to be energetic and forwardinking and perhaps go somewhere new and interesting um then I I I really think I think you can. So, so overall I'm, you know, I'm pretty optimistic about about the weekend and also of course it is the solstice uh when the sun moves um out of Gemini and into Cancer. Now, the sun moving sun moving into Cancer. Well, I mean, it does happen, you know, every year at this time at this time of year. So it's not it's it's not exactly a a unique event but maybe when the sun moves out of out of Gemini it removes a bit of pressure from you. You know with the sun in Gemini particularly as Uranus has been is in Gemini as well. Some Virgos might just feel that there is a pressure to uh perhaps be successful uh to really make their mark on the world. I mean it's not an entirely comfortable pressure. It's just something you have to do. And then when the moon moves into when the sun moves into Cancer, some of that pressure starts to ease. You you perhaps realize there isn't that kind of hurry. you that kind of panic and you can sort of get a sort of you can get a you know broader perspective and think not just about the short term but think about you know what you you know what you want to do with your life uh it's that it's that kind of thing and you know so uh you know you know don't don't drive yourself crazy don't feel that things have to be done you know at a particular time not necessarily maybe When the sun moves into moves moves out of Gemini into Cancer, you might realize that something that you thought you had to do right now can be postponed. Perhaps can be postponed even a couple of months. You can perhaps wait until the sun moves into Virgo um at the end of August. And I can I'll talk about that uh you know when it happens.
Libra, we have uh the solstice. I mean, that arguably is the main event um of the weekend uh when uh uh the sun moves out of Gemini into Cancer. And so when the sun moves into Cancer, that means we got we got three planets um in in Cancer.
Uh the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter. Of course, Jupiter is not going to stay in Cancer for much longer. In a week or two's time, it will move into Leo.
And I think that with the solstice, this might create, you know, a bit of pressure, but probably the kind of a kind of the kind of pressure which uh may work in your favor, perhaps something you need. You know, sometimes Librans can take an overly relaxed approach. Uh you you don't want to force the pace.
You don't want to upset anyone. You know, there's always this feeling of of balance and you want to make sure that everything really is in balance and you know that's the way it is. And uh but now that the sun is in cancer, you kind of feel that uh something maybe you know needs to happen uh but it things won't necessarily you know wait forever. Now of course the sun moves into cancer every year so that might sound like you know not being a particularly big deal but this time around Jupiter is in Cancer as well and you know Jupiter's not here. As I said, Jupiter's getting ready to move into Leo, but from a Liban perspective, Jupiter and Cancer can be about success, doing something really, really outstanding.
And I don't know what you've been thinking in terms of this Jupiter in Cancer because Jupiter has been in Cancer for the last year. So, you know, if you're if you're working, you have a career, or even if you just have an aim, a target, it it might seem thath something needs to happen, and you perhaps can't wait forever. And so this this this this sign change, this solstice could for you um be quite motivating and you might be able to tune into a sort of a new power because you know when the sun moves into Cancer, it straight away makes a sexile to Kiron.
And so you know Kiron has just moved into Taurus. Uh and Kiron in Taurus Kiron in Taurus for you uh Libra might be represent something that you have kept secret that you haven't talked about and it uh might be something that you don't fully want to reveal and it but it's it's a kind of an interesting perspective. It's a perspective that might also be disturbing because Kiron can disturb that. That's part of Kiron's nature, I think. And so with Sunex of Chiron on Sunday, you as the solstice as you get the solstice um then you you think that yeah, you have a different perspective and it it's yeah, it's a maybe a unique perspective. It's a perspective that not everyone is going to appreciate but it is something you can you know very much move forward with and so that might be how you how you understand sun sexile karon but it is a time now to be moving forward to be thinking about you know what your priorities are and will it be easy not entirely easy because I think that many Librans are feeling a certain tension you you know that there are things you really want to do, you'd like to do, you'd like to really get on with it, but you're also aware of uh all the things that are holding you back. And as far as you're concerned, the transition might actually have to be violent. I mean, not literally violent, but you have to put a lot of effort into something. Maybe it's it feels like something has to be broken, has to be smashed because uh things aren't just going to naturally and organically change and things aren't just naturally going to move in your way. You are going to have to uh put in, you know, not just effort, but maybe some kind of supreme effort. At least that's what you might be telling yourself. But I don't think it's you necessarily as quite as quite as dramatic about about it. Now the sun, okay, the sun moving into Cancer, the solstice is is certainly important, but there is another thing going on which coincides with the solstice and you know what it is is the uh first quarter moon.
So the moon is the moon is moving through Virgo uh all weekend and uh at least most of the weekend okay all the weekend for example if you're in Asia or Australia but it it does move into it does move into your sign right at the end at uh you know 5 to 10 in the evening on Sunday London time uh Sunday afternoon if you're in the Americas And when that sign change happens, it's a first quarter moon. The sun and the moon are exactly square one another. And so you've got uh sun in cancer square moon in Libra. And it's right at the beginning of the signs. It's close to the cardinal points. And I think that this first quarter moon really really does really does matter to you. I mean, in fact, here is here's a chart of the first quarter moon. Uh uh there you can see it uh happening at uh there it is in this for some reason this first quarter moon it says it's at uh 10 10:55. Have I got that right? Uh anyway, that's that's that's the first quarter moon hap happening on Sunday evening and uh so right at the end of right at the end of a weekend you've got the first quarter moon and it happens just obviously just after the moon's moved into Libra. Now now maybe this first quarter moon is more about Monday rather than Sunday but it's it's kind of marks the end of the weekend. It tells you something about the new week and it it is dynamic and it relates to perhaps how you want to think about the new week and it's a time when you actually have to take action. I think you really do feel that way and I've already said you know the beginning of this uh um interpretation for for for Libra that you might be feeling restless. you feel that you know something something does need to happen and uh so uh if you have uh wanted to do something you've wanted to um unfurl your ambitions uh make a splash whatever it is uh perhaps the time has arrived so maybe you know at the end of the weekend uh as you move into Monday you know be prepared for for a change and be prepared to really start to uh assert yourself and certainly if you're in the Americas I think you feel that you start to feel that on on Sunday afternoon and so yeah if you are an American Libra it might be that uh on Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening you really feel that you need a change of pace that you need to start to you start to really up the pace you know even though you know it might seem to be a quiet weekend but there there are things to think about and perhaps um things to plan.
Scorpio, Mars is of course your ruler. And you know when I do uh these horoscopes, I look at things from a western perspective. You know, I am a western astrologer. Uh sometimes people ask, do I look at things from the east or the west? Well, no. I'm a western astrologer primarily. That doesn't mean to say that I never look at Vic astrology. when I do someone's horoscope um I will always um look at someone's chart from from a Vic perspective as well as u as well as a western perspective but you know I don't regard myself as an expert by any means on on Vic astrology but you know one thing that cannot be avoided is the fact that Mars is moving into cidurial Taurus. Uh so if you are a Vic astrologer you will notice you or you may regard it as being really important um that Mars is changing sign over the weekend. It's uh moving moving into Taurus. Of course from a western perspective Mars has been in Taurus for ages and it's in fact getting ready to move into Gemini. So you could then say that Mars is in Taurus in both zodiacs uh both the eastern and western zodiac.
And so u so Scorpio you might feel that you do become more focused that there's something that you you really want to want to concentrate on.
uh maybe recently you've been a little bit distracted. There have been a couple of things to concentrate on but now it now it it seems to be quite singleointed and you know that kind of links with you know what we know about the average Scorpio. I mean Scorpio is a quite an intense sign. You know Scorpio is regarded as a fixed sign because it doesn't get distracted. it knows what is important and you know it can uh it can really give something its best once it once it decides to focus. So yeah, a time for focus and I I think that uh Mars moving into Taurus, you know, isn't uh isn't such such a such a bad thing s ideally because if you think about, you know, from a western perspective, it's said that, you know, Mars is in its detriment in Taurus.
It somehow loses points because it's in because you know Mars is in its when Scorpio is is Mars rules Scorpio. So in Taurus it's kind of yeah in its detriment it's not so strong in Vic astrology I don't think you really have a concept of detriment you have a concept of fall but not with detriment so I don't think there's anything intrinsically difficult about Mars being in Taurus from a from a vic from a vic perspective um but uh it yeah it does it does make you I think more intense and perhaps it makes you all the more keen uh to you know overcome you know whatever obstacles might might be might be in front of you and you know some scorpios right now are feeling a little bit negative. Yeah sure you have your ambitions but you also have um quite a few worries. I should make it clear that I'm not trying to create worries out of nothing. I'm not trying to create you know self-fulfilling prophecies. that's not that's not what I want to do. But you know some scorpios may feel there are just many reasons why they can't achieve everything they would like to achieve. It just seems uh it seems difficult. There's perhaps a lot of opposition.
Yeah. And even a lot of fear may not be your fear. It may be other people's fear. And this uh this just might be something that is bothering you. But I should emphasize that it's largely in your imagination. Doesn't mean it's not real. I mean, it doesn't mean it's not of importance if it's not in your imagination. But I think you come up with a lot of stories why you can't do something, why you have to restrict yourself. uh and so uh you know you perhaps Scorpio it's a time when you have to sort of identify you know where the obstacles lie and u then you know do what is necessary to um get through and maybe uh fear is just something you have to get through of course fear has its role I mean if we fear is there to protect you from doing something uh disastrous but I don't think we're we're talking about that. We're talking about just something you're holding back on, something you you feel you shouldn't be doing or can't be doing. But I think you can get over it. And one thing um that is going on over the weekend, I mean it's are a couple of things happening, but we do have uh the solstice uh the solstice with um the sun moving out of Gemini and into Cancer.
And you know that takes place uh I think at 9:25 a.m. London time on on on Sunday. And so with the sun moving into Cancer, you know, all things being equal, uh that makes things easier for you.
You know, sun in Gemini, it's it's it's it's kind of a difficult place for the sun. You know, Gemini and Scorpio are two signs that don't always get on.
I mean not necessarily on an interpersonal level but just if you think about the broad compatibility of the signs you know air sign, water sign, mutable sign, fixed sign there is a certain tension between sun and gemini and so when a sun moves into cancer sun moves into a water sign you know straight away just things feel better and okay I've just talked about fear but uh you know the sun is going to stay in cancer for the next month and broadly speaking while the sun moves through cancer.
Yeah, things are going to feel better.
You're going to feel sort of more optimistic and you're going to become aware that there are genuine possibilities out there that you're not tied to, you know, a particular course of action. And you know, if if you want variety, you can you can have variety.
And if you want to look at things from a new perspective, you know, that is certainly possible. And you know while the sun moves through cancer on Saturday, you know, we've got the moon in Virgo and uh moon moving through Virgo. Yeah. From your perspective, Scorpio, I mean, it's quite a sociable place. It's it it's actually quite an optimistic place. So I think that in terms of the fear levels and restriction levels, I I think that uh you know, Saturday may not be a great day, but as you move into Sunday, I think you just you're feeling better about yourself and more and more things become possible. And the moon in Virgo, you know, it makes uh it makes a tr to Mars, which is of course your ruler.
And it might be that things start to move.
Things perhaps start to move facilitated by other people. Maybe other people, the people around you um become more sympathetic. And if you want to have an impact, I think that you you can have an impact. And you know, there's uh you know, there's a lot to say. You know, the moon is, you know, making a sexile to Mercury. It's making a sexile to Jupiter.
So, there are a lot of possibilities out there. And so I I mean I I I don't think you need regard yourself as as being alone, you battling the world or you feeling that uh you other people's priorities and your priorities are different, you know, they're not necessarily different. Uh they may just have to be negotiated. And if you're afraid of someone else's response, you you might have something you'd like to do, but you may think you can't do it because someone else is going to veto it. Well, you know, perhaps you should need to find out what another person is thinking and feeling. And I think that uh you know, on on on Sunday, you know, things are things are things are moving, things are happening. And you know, additionally on Sunday, uh you you know, the sun is making a sexile to Kiron and of course Kiron has just moved into Taurus, which is your opposite sign. And you know it could be with sunset Alcaron uh you have a new awareness of uh of another person's view and you know we I've talked about your fears and concerns but perhaps sunexon allows you to tune into another another person's fears and concerns.
It might even be the case that you become aware of how a projection is working. So perhaps if you have felt nervous about something you know particularly on Saturday the reason for that nervousness is nothing intrinsic to you. It just might have been that you were picking up on someone else's energy and you know by the end of the weekend you might have a a greater awareness of you where that energy is coming from and also how to deal with it. How perhaps to put someone's um mind to rest. And I think you know in the end believe it or not Scorpio you can be quite a reassuring influence but at the same time you can also uh very much uh look after your own interests.
Sagittarius it's uh the solstice over the weekend. Uh solstice happens at 9:25 on uh Sunday morning London time.
uh which uh is is uh it's going to be you know very early on Sunday if you're uh if you're in the Americas and as far as the solstice is concerned okay we could say okay the sun is moving into cancer we could also say that the sun is leaving Gemini I mean I know it's the same thing but uh uh but we're looking at what is no longer there so you've had the sun in Gemini uh for the last month. The sun has been uh moving through your moving through your opposite sign uh for better or for worse. And you know with the sun moving through Gemini um it of course affects you at the same time every year.
Sun always moves through Gemini roughly the same time of year. And so it can be a time of year when many Sagittarians are thinking about the other relating to relating to relating to the other. Of course it might mean nothing. I mean there is a view by the way. I mean I know we talk about the sun but there is a view that the sun doesn't work astrologically.
If you if you look at the research of Michelle, you know, Michelle Goa, uh he found that um only five planets worked and those planets were uh moon, Mars, Mercury, no moon, Mars, uh Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn. He found no evidence that sun and Mercury worked astrologically. U I mean, I thought I'd just tell you that. Let's because you know let's not necessarily exaggerate what the influence of sun in Gemini has been like but you know all things being equal while the sun was in Gemini it perhaps was a time when there were people that had to be dealt with uh you were perhaps more aware of the influence that other people had on you and now that the sun is moving into cancer u perhaps you can be uh you more self-sufficient and uh And additionally, you know, Jupiter's moving through Cancer as well. So you so you you perhaps been getting used to the Cancer over the last year, you know, from a Sagittarian perspective. You know, Jupiter and Cancer, you know, it's been it's been quite quite an intense time, but hopefully you've become aware of the power and utility of your feelings, including some of your deeper feelings.
And so the sun moving through Cancer, moving into Cancer uh may sort of complement um Jupiter in the sign at least while Jupiter is in Cancer because in a in just over a week uh certainly less than a fortnight Jupiter moves out of Cancer into Leo. So uh Sun moving into Cancer all things being equal does make you sort of more intense, more powerful uh perhaps uh perhaps more sort of emotional as as well. But you know emotional you know in a in a positive sense. So you know that's that's you know perhaps the next couple of weeks you know there is this change over you know o o over the weekend and throughout the weekend we have uh the moon moving through Virgo. And so with the moon moving through Virgo you know it is an earth sign. It understands the importance um of uh you know the material world. And so moon in Virgo is uh trying to um address that world and I I think you're just very aware of what is happening and you kind of want an impact and you might find yourself over the weekend being being quite ambitious you know yeah I know it's a weekend things are supposed to slow down but you're perhaps thinking ahead thinking about what has not been achieved perhaps stuff that you were supposed to have done earlier in the week and you haven't got it together that you you you can't help but think about it. And the moon in Virgo makes uh sexiles to a sexile to Mercury. It also makes a sexile to Jupiter and it makes a yeah it also makes a TR to Mars. that all of those aspects um work in your favor, particularly that moon sexile Jupiter because you know that that moon sexile Jupiter, it just makes you aware of what you could do if you had the chance. And so if you if on Sunday you you come to a conclusion that you could be doing something and you're not doing it then this might be you know a great opportunity to start to plan things you know maybe if you can't do it on Sunday itself you can start sort of thinking about you know next week what what you want to do you know while Jupiter is uh is still in cancer. So uh you know think about perhaps your desires you know it's okay to have desires and I think with Jupiter in cancer the the desire principle is actually quite strong. So if you look back over the year, you know, think about what you what you really want, you know, at an at an emotional level. And I think that with moon moon sexile Jupiter, I think that you can you can really um find a way of achieving it. Even though very soon Jupiter will be out of Cancer, but it'll be in Leo soon. Jupiter in a fire sign, Jupiter in a a Sagittarius friendly sign. That's certainly something to be um looking forward to.
And uh from a relationship viewpoint, uh Mercury and Jupiter are making a conjunction. I mean this conjunction has been developing uh for some time and uh they're less than 5 degrees apart and you don't forget Jupiter is your ruler.
Mercury is ruler of Gemini your opposite sign. So you could say with Mercury Jupiter coming together that might be like you and someone else coming together. It feels that there may be one particular relationship that is really starting to happen. You perhaps can see how you and uh someone else might might have a real connection. But this Mercury Jupiter conjunction doesn't actually happen because uh Mercury is slowing down. Mercury is um about to go retrograde. So you think that Mercury, the faster planet, would catch up with Jupiter, but it doesn't catch up with Jupiter. it's uh it goes retrograde before it has a chance to make the exact conjunction. So maybe there's a possibility here of some kind of misconnection. Uh you feel that something is going on with another person. And I'm I may be talking about anything here, friendship, romance, uh business partnership, whatever. Just someone who uh could be could be of use to you a relationship that could work in everyone's favor. So you know there is this potential there but uh on the surface it doesn't seem to complete but the moon might uh bring things together. So what happens is that the moon makes a sexile to Mercury and then it makes a sexile to Jupiter. And so there is an opportunity here for something to come together uh over the weekend and it might be something very focused. It might be you and someone else have something you can do together for a particular reason. So it might well be some temporary partnership, some temporary alliance and you and someone else, you work together on a particular project. You have a particular goal.
Maybe once that goal is achieved, you you don't uh need to have anything more to do with one another and you can go your separate ways. So do think about other people and perhaps think about one other person who uh could do you a lot of good in the same way that I think that you could do them, you know, a lot of good as well. So don't completely ignore um the uh interpersonal dimension. Capricorn this weekend is the solstice and uh that is important for the average Capricorn because uh the sun is uh moving into Cancer. It's moving into your opposite sign. And you know this may say something you know not just about the weekend but uh also about you know the next month although when I say the weekend I'm thinking really about Sunday Robert and Saturday I mean the sun moves into Cancer on yeah on Sunday at uh 9:25 a.m. London time which would be you know what sort of 1:25 in the morning if you're in California. So uh yeah on on Saturday you know the sun is still moving through uh late uh late late Gemini. So uh you know with the sun moving through cancer you know all things being equal you know it can be a time when the average Capricorn has to think about u other people and uh their influence on you the various uh you know you know the various people in your life various characters in your personal drama and uh they are they're they're having an influence on you and you just might find also Capricorn that uh you know your expectations are higher than usual.
Well, in fact you could say that your expectations have been higher than usual for some time for over a year because you know Jupiter has been moving through Cancer uh since last summer. Uh we're still there. Jupiter's still in Cancer.
you got another week or more of of Jupiter and Jupiter in Cancer before it moves into Leo at the end of a month.
And so you could then say that the sun in Cancer is now in the same sign as Jup Jupiter in Cancer as well as Mercury in Cancer. So the interpersonal dimension really might start be sort of becoming important. Of course, to an extent, this does depend on your particular situation.
And if you're a hermit, might not seem to be so relevant. But if there are people around you, if you're a sociable person, if you're in relationships, if you're trying to be in relationships, um then uh yeah, the interpersonal dimension, you know, cannot be ignored.
And you need you do need to think not just about your expectations but you know also you know what other people are doing and how you respond to them. And it uh it just may be a time when you have to not necessarily be quite so uh quite so active um as usual. I mean active what's what's the opposite of active? Well, responsive maybe. Yeah, because you know if you look at if you look at the chart of a broad Capricorn chart, you will notice that you know right now most of the planets are on the right of the chart. And so when you've got a lot of planets on the right um that can suggest the the other you know the left the left part of the chart the part of the chart towards Capricorn is about you what you are trying to initiate and then the part of a chart towards cancer is perhaps what other people are trying to initiate. Now that doesn't mean to say that you should just just uh just do what you're told follow the crowd you know it's not like that. It's uh it's just about about being responsive to other people's needs and understanding them. And you know, don't forget some of the most powerful people in history, for better or for worse, are incredibly responsive to other people's needs. They understand other people's needs. Doesn't mean to say they give in to their needs, but they at least understand their audience. And I think Capricorn if you have an audience however small that audience is I think you do have that just general awareness of uh of what is going on and that can give you an advantage and you know if we're talking about the sign cancer we have a conjunction between Mercury and Jupiter in cancer uh so you know there is there's mercury at 23 degrees 30 cancer and and midnight on Sunday, Jupiter at 2805. So Mercur and Jupiter are less than 5° apart and uh and it's yeah and it's taking place in your opposite sign. So this could be about uh not just benefiting from other people but having really good communications with other people. I mean that is certainly a possibility but you know this conjunction never happens because because Mercury is slowing down and so on the face of it your ability to communicate or the opportunity to communicate with certain people may be starting to fray. uh maybe just uh there's a possibility that someone is uh drifting out of contact, but uh the moon comes in and kind of arguably saves the day because the moon makes a sexile to Mercury and also the moon makes a sexile to Jupiter. And so with those two sexiles, you know, Mercury, the moon is doing what it does best. And what the moon is in a chart it's function it's it's it's how things come together it's how things talk to each other because you know the moon is a communication planet along with mercury and so uh does it there is a chance to talk even over you know quite long distances so if you feel isolated that you feel you can't get hold of someone well I think it's important not to panic because there is a way and we might yeah we might be talking about longd distance communication. Uh we might be talking about communication that happens at an unusual level maybe even a sort of a spiritual or a telepathic level.
Whatever it is, you can get through and you can uh you can be you can be understood and you know while all this is going on Capricorn there is there is a bit of pressure I think it's this pressure is kind of building up over the weekend you feel that something perhaps just has to give that something is not quite not quite good enough and you want to force the pace and I think if you do want to force the pace I think it's important that you recognize this you know you don't just uh put it to one side you know you don't want to cause any fuss because if you put things to one side if you deliberately try to stay out of trouble the tension hasn't gone away you still want to force the pace but that desire to force the pace you know is perhaps you know being repressed you You know, it can be frustrating. You can see what needs to be done. You can see everything that needs to be done. And you can also see perhaps that there's no cooperation. You're not getting the support you need. That can be frustrating. you'd love to say something but part of you feels you should just hold fire but then yeah that would be frustrating and it might cause an explosion later on. So if you feel that something needs to be brought out into the open, needs to be discussed, need to be needs to be talked about, then probably it's not a good idea to delay because otherwise just the pressure just intensifies and that is really, you know, not very satisfactory. I'd also say Capricorn that uh it's it's it's not a time to be uh doing anything reckless. Uh it's not a time for taking risks. It it's certainly not a time for putting your life into other people's hands. Uh you absolutely not because uh if you are in a situation that is uh physically risky then you could say well if it can go wrong it might well go wrong. Uh so on a physical level you know keep it simple. Uh don't do something you've never done before. Um, plenty of preparation is is required.
You know, don't be in too much of a hurry. Uh, if you're feeling angry for whatever whatever reason, don't do anything that's safety critical. You know, I'm sure things will be fine, but I I just felt uh, you know, some some obligation uh to to point that out. Now at the end of the weekend and into next week uh we have a first quarter moon. So uh we've got uh the sun in cancer and we got the moon moving into Libra. I mean for most of the weekend the moon is in Virgo but then we then it it you know right at the end uh I we have we have we have that moon in moon in Libra and that first quarter moon might be about uh pressure but perhaps constructive pressure because when we're talking about first quarter moon I mean you you you know you have the the new moon the new moon is the beginning of something the beginning of a new lunar cycle. But the first quarter moon is uh when you're asking, well, okay, now what? You had the big ideas, but where is the action? And that might be something you're really starting to think about. And this might relate to other people as well. You know, it's it's not just what you are doing, it's what other people are doing, what other people are not doing. And certain people could be frustrating or at least they might appear to be frustrating and you know I know that I've just said that you are quite responsive at the moment and perhaps you need to be responsive but you don't want to be too responsive because you know you've got your ambitions you've got things you want to achieve and you've got to take everyone with you. You've got to make it clear that you want to you know You want to sort of follow your particular agenda but you've got to also make sure that uh you you are being listened to that you can be listened to and if you want to listen if you want to be listened to then you have to be responsive. So you have to get that balance right. But that first quarter moon which really the new week starts with could be some kind of crisis and it could be a crisis regarding other people and whether or not you're getting enough support from them. But I think it's a crisis that you can resolve and and I think that there can be a resolution that really works for you and so um you don't give up. Don't feel that everything is so frustrating that nothing can happen. It can happen and uh you just have to perhaps make an effort to understand people and and also understand other people's weaknesses and what other people are looking for and if you can provide it to some extent then I I think things in the end should should work out.
Aquarius Aquarius you uh are looking for something to happen. I think that's what you want.
But are you really uh really thinking it through? I think Aquarius, you know, this weekend there could be something about you that, you know, is a little bit hasty. Uh you know, you want perhaps, you know, instant results. Uh you could uh take things too quickly.
And if you if you're in too much of a hurry, then uh you might well create a situation which is um not desirable. And and so if you if you go out on a limb, if you if you if you act when you're feeling angry, then uh things could go wrong because there is something rather explosive about the weekend. And now it's not necessarily about there being explosions um in your own house, in your own living space, but you can feel the pressure.
Now, it might be that you're feeling the pressure in general uh from uh from the outside world and you're just uh you're just picking up on it. So, it's it's possible that it is operating operating like that. But if you if you do anything which is um unwise that you haven't thought through then uh you know there is a good chance that it goes wrong and uh I think that it is you know a pretty bad day to be or bad weekend um to be taking risks. So uh you know be careful you know in terms of physical activity also be careful in terms of uh journeys you might uh take a you know short distance journey maybe by car it could be some other means foot bicycle bus whatever and it might seem straightforward you're doing something on the spur of a moment and uh it just might not be as uh simple as you had imagined so I would uh probably be inclined to avoid unnecessarily unnecessary traveling over the weekend.
And uh this is particularly the case if you're feeling annoyed. Uh so that would really suggest that uh you know driving for example or or some form of transport where you are the one directly in control. I mean driving, cycling, flying. I don't think flying but you know driving, cycling, you know, does it have to be done? Um maybe you should wait um before uh doing any doing anything dramatic, you know. Yeah, because it just could be that what seems like a routine journey could just be um more trouble than it's worth and at the very least could just make you feel annoyed. And that's yeah, that's not what you want. And it's it's uh but yeah, it's probably better Aquarius that you just um you stay where you are. Uh you uh you feel you because I think you you know your emotions are quite strong at the moment. uh uh there's a lot that you are picking up on and at the same time I think you're going to be good at uh making up for lost time. So if you feel that recently a lot of time has been wasted. There are a lot of things that are unfinished then now I think would be you know a great time for you know sorting it all out. you don't have to, you know, make a big exhibition of it.
You know, maybe, you know, it's the weekend, there's perhaps less pressure, at least less pressure from the outside world. I think you might be pressurizing yourself. Um, so if there's less pressure, if things um are are more in control, you are more in control, then you know, you create an environment that you feel comfortable with and it just makes you feel better.
And uh you know then you know as you move into next week uh you know things things are things are easier and of course we've got this we've got the sun moving into cancer and you know with the sun moving into cancer um it very often is a time Aquarius uh maybe just this time of year but but but perhaps more so than usual because Jupiter is in cancer as well and of course Mercury's in cancer cancer too. Uh so with all this emphasis on cancer, it it perhaps is about you, you know, looking after your security and emotional needs. Just making sure that uh yeah, everything is it should everything is placed as it should be. If there's anything that's chaotic or disorganized that's been building up, then now Aquarius is is, you know, is a great time to be uh sorting it all out.
Pisces, there is uh a uh a sign change of course uh well the big sign change is uh the sun moving um out of Gemini and into and into Cancer. And I think this sign change which is of course the solstice uh the solstice works for you. it makes things uh more interesting and it might feel that you know you you've done the time you've done the work uh you're feeling more settled I mean I mean you know that's you know that's a problem with the sun in Gemini so while the sun has been in Gemini there are just been uh things to work out and you you perhaps didn't want to take too many risks you wanted to focus on um making sure that you were feeling secure. Maybe this is what happens every time the sun moves into Gemini, but of course this time round you've had Uranus in Gemini as well. So, uh with Uranus in Gemini, you know, it's you're still getting used to Uranus in Gemini. And Uranus in Gemini of course stays in Gemini until what's it 2032. So with Uranus in Gemini, you perhaps uh were unsure about certain things. you became aware that there were things that needed to be changed and you could see the potential for change, really quite fundamental change, you know, that might be affecting, you know, your roots, where you lived, uh, you know, the the ground under your feet and you while the sun was in Gemini as well. Yeah, you you felt uh you felt that tension and and and that and that pressure. But now uh the sun is moving out of Gemini into Cancer. It's in moving into a water sign. Uh you are a water sign. It's moving into the same sign as Jupiter.
Jupiter your ruler still in Cancer. So, okay, Jupiter is getting ready to move into Leo, but you know, having the sun and Jupiter in in the same sign, um, the sun isn't too close to Jupiter. So, it's not like it's not like Jupiter is being damaged by the sun. It's not like we've got any sort of any sort of combustion or as traditional astrologers would say, Jupiter is not under sunbeams immediately. Uh, so that's that's that's nothing to worry about. And I I think uh it's you know it's time to think about you know what what you are who you are you know what you can do what action you can take and we're talking about you know creative action and at the moment Pisces you know particularly on Sunday rather than Saturday I think you there is a lot you can do uh there's a lot you can make happen and uh I think to an extent you are going to want to force the pace particularly at the end of a weekend and You might have to ask yourself well how far can you go? I mean you've to an extent you've got to consider make consider other people. I mean after all the moon is in Virgo. But you know just because you cons have to consider other people doesn't mean you have to uh follow their lead. In fact, you know, with the moon making a sexile to Jupiter, moon making a sexile to Mercury, I I think that uh you and other people are, you know, by and large uh following the same direction. It it's not like one party is forcing another party to do something they don't want to do. I think that there is a general feeling of consensus and you know additionally you know Mercury and Jupiter are making a conjunction to one another although this Mercury Jupiter conjunction never never makes it because Mercury's slowing down ready to go retrograde the moon brings Mercury and Jupiter together and so this actually might bode quite well for relationships so relationships this weekend um in particularly on Sunday uh can can really work well. So on Sunday, you know, try to be with other people or at least be with another person, the right other person, not just any person, but you know, see what other people have to offer. uh try to look for the common ground and you know if a relationship um you know is important to you uh then you know on Sunday maybe maybe you can do something really constructive and uh you might find uh that the other person you know is in a pretty sort of good frame of mind and uh well if you want to get closer to someone if you're looking for a new relationship well I probably uh the Sunday might be as as good a day as any uh probably a better day for most days. So, uh if I had to sort of rate Sunday from a relationship perspective, uh as one sometimes does, uh you know, give it a star rating, I'd probably give it a four-star rating or even perhaps a fivestar rating. Uh so yeah, Sunday dinner, try not to spend Sunday alone because I think it uh you it could be could be quite a good day when I think that your your social skills are going to be um you know at the top of the range. And uh those are my forecasts for the 12 signs. And now it's time to look at things from the viewpoint of the eching.
So, uh, I asked the question, uh, what is the weekend going to be like for those watching the eching section of this video? And the first hexoggram I got was hexoggram number 16, which is contentment. So contentment is uh how uh Greg Winkup in his translation of Iching that's how he describes this uh this hexog in the uh Wilhelm translation of the Iching it's uh enthusiasm and we get the idea with this with this hexog that uh perhaps there's a tendency for complacency uh we might uh just be thinking that everything is fine. I mean deep down we might know that it's actually not fine but nonetheless we it's okay. We'll just muddle through and if we're feeling good today or if we're feeling good this weekend well you know that's enough. And of course if one looks at it in terms of enthusiasm I mean the problem with enthusiasm as a concept is that uh yeah we can get very excited about something but on what basis?
We can get excited about something that perhaps has no chance of being realized or if it were to be realized. If it were to have any possibility of being realized then excitement is perhaps the wrong approach. We have to be perhaps more more methodical and uh we certainly uh should not be complacent.
But you know although it can be a problem hexog the moving lines are actually quite good. So we have the uh second line move moving and we also have the fourth line moving and uh the second line suggests that uh we're not so stupid as to be overexited or to be complacent. In fact, we are not content.
Uh not not in a not certainly not in a complacent way. And we realize that, you know, we we cannot be deluded.
You know, people might say lots of nice stuff and uh it's it's easy to just accept what people say at face value, but we're not going to be fooled by that. We're not going to be led off a path. We are realistic and that is that I think is really important. I think the fact that we're realistic right from the beginning means that some of the dangers of complacency, you know, seem to be mitigated. Yeah. I mean, I think that uh we are being encouraged to be complacent. We would like to be complacent, but I don't think we're going to be complacent. And what the Iching says about this line is, you know, it's a it's as solid as a rock. So we can be as solid as a rock and as realistic as a rock as well. And uh then the fourth line moves and you know the fourth line is uh you know you can see that it's quite an important line because in this hexog you know this this hexog of contentment you see five of the six lines are are broken. And so with five of five out of six lines broken you know there is a certain pacivity to this to this hexog just seeing how things develop and hoping for the best. Um but the fourth line is uh is unbroken and that's perhaps the key movement um in in this hexog and it's certainly about being enthusiastic but we can also be more than that. We can be quite inspiring. Uh and so if we're inspiring and we're realistic then I think people are going to trust us.
And there might actually be quite a social aspect to this hexog. Maybe we can encourage other people to get involved with uh some kind of uh common endeavor and uh we know the dangers, we know the pitfalls, but you know it should be okay. So with uh two moving lines that means we move to a second hexog and that hexog is hexog number seven which is the army and that really does show the development here. You know there's no complacency to the army. Uh we know that there's a task that needs to be achieved. We know it's going to be difficult. We know that perhaps we need other people's help and we know our responsibility because that's that is the army you know we're you know part of some wider structure um we're perhaps even part of a hierarchy and so with other people as part of a group as a collective project then I think it's you know likely that we know we can get results and you know even if we're doing stuff on our own the army might just represent methodical organization.
It we are we are part of a system, part of our own system. We're we have got our own role in that system. It's not about just uh doing whatever we want. It's not about being chaotic. Um it's it means following orders, following our own orders perhaps, and we just do it and we're not complacent and in the end uh we can uh see it through. And uh that's all I've got to say about this weekend.
Uh thank you very much uh for watching.
