Weekly Synopsis: Turning Points and Steady Progress
This week marks a significant threshold as Jupiter enters Cancer for the first time since the summer of 2013, where it remained until the summer of 2014. There are several major planetary aspects as well as the Sagittarius Full Moon this week, creating a sense of motion and meaningful tension.
On Monday, Jupiter enters Cancer, beginning a yearlong invitation to grow through emotional honesty and care, as well as the steady tending of family or loved ones. The same day, Mercury squares both Saturn and Neptune, suggesting mental friction, confusion, and a need to slow down. Venus also squares Pluto, stirring emotional intensity around connection and control.
Tuesday and Wednesday bring a bit more clarity. The Sagittarius Moon helps to reconnect with personal beliefs, and the Full Moon in the wee hours of Wednesday morning highlights what is ready to be illuminated and clearly seen. A helpful Mercury-Venus sextile on Wednesday afternoon offers honest and steady conversations.
Thursday, the Moon in Capricorn encourages discipline, effort, and quiet resolve. This is a time to get clear on what you are building and why. Small steps forward will be significant.
By Friday, the Moon in Aquarius brings a breath of fresh air and emotional perspective. Sunday afternoon brings us to the Pisces Moon, where we can dream away the rest of the day in preparation for the week ahead.
JUPITER ENTERS CANCER - Monday, June 9, 2025
The Moon begins the day in Scorpio and enters Sagittarius at 10:56 am EDT. The emotional tone shifts from private and internal to more outward-looking and concerned with meaning. But the most important movement today is not lunar. Jupiter enters Cancer at 5:01 pm EDT, marking a turning point that will powerfully shape the year ahead.
Jupiter’s ingress into Cancer signals a shift in how growth, wisdom, and expansion will unfold and be experienced. The focus turns toward nourishment, safety, and the truth of what you feel. This is a time to care more deeply for yourself and your loved ones. Look to the house in your natal chart that holds Cancer. That part of your life is ready to play a larger role in your life. Begin gently. Let roots grow before expecting results.
The is a very full day, keep Jupiter’s shift at the top of your mind. The coming days will bring more care and nurturance. The day holds some clear tension points that may color your experience. At 6:48 am EDT, Mercury squares Saturn, suggesting mental pressure or communication restrictions or blockages. Don’t force clarity. Ask questions, and remain open to the answers.
At 1:20 pm EDT, Venus squares Pluto. Emotional intensity may surface around themes of connection, trust, power, or control. Reactions may be stronger than the situation warrants. Step back and consider what deep fears and struggles might have the upper hand.
At 6:54 pm EDT, Mercury squares Neptune. Thoughts may scatter or idealize. Misunderstandings are possible. Leave room for uncertainty and avoid overexplaining. The best use of this evening is to listen to music, meditate, read or write poetry, or watch a good film.
Where in my life am I being invited to grow through love and support rather than ambition?
What part of me is seeking emotional safety before I take my next step?
How can I recognize the difference between control and protection?
HONEST MOMENTUM - Tuesday, June 10, 2025
The Moon moves through Sagittarius all day. After the emotional weight of yesterday, today may offer a sense of ease as well as motion. Sagittarius encourages directness, perspective, and a willingness to speak from a place of clarity. This is a good time to acknowledge what you believe and notice which ideas or assumptions no longer hold weight. If you’ve been keeping quiet to keep the peace, reconsider whether that silence is still the best course of action.
Momentum today does not require a full plan. What matters is movement that reflects your deeper convictions. Honest conversations can shift something important, even if they don’t resolve every detail. Pay attention to where your attention flows freely. Consider that a signal worth trusting. Say what you mean, choose what aligns with your current understanding, and allow forward motion without demanding perfect certainty.
Questions for reflection:
Where have I been withholding, and what would happen if I stopped doing so?
Where am I ready to move forward, even if the full outcome is unknown?
What belief or framework has shaped my recent choices, and does it still hold up under honest reflection?
SAGITTARIUS FULL MOON - Wednesday, June 11, 2025
The Full Moon is exact at 3:44 am EDT at 20 degrees Sagittarius. This marks a time of culmination, reflection, or clarity. Sagittarius is concerned with direction, meaning, and belief. Under this Full Moon, you may come to a clearer understanding of where you're heading or where you've reached a limit. Look back to the New Moon two weeks ago. What questions did you ask? What answers are beginning to take shape?
You don’t need to have everything figured out. But you may now recognize what feels aligned, what is overstretched, or what has simply reached its end. Let the light of this Moon show you what is steady and what is uncertain. Neither needs to be resolved right away.
At 3:40 pm EDT, Mercury in Cancer forms a sextile to Venus in Taurus. This is a quiet, grounding influence. If something personal has been stirred, this aspect can support thoughtful and caring communication. A brief exchange may matter more than a long conversation. Pay attention to tone, gesture, or what remains unsaid.
The Moon enters Capricorn at 9:55 pm EDT. As the day closes, emotions may quiet. Focus shifts to what is sustainable. You may begin to see which commitments are worth reinforcing and which need revision.
What am I seeing more clearly under this Full Moon, and how does it shift my direction?
Where do honesty and care need to come together in the way I communicate?
What structure, practice, or agreement can support the direction I’m beginning to trust?
MEASURED EFFORT - Thursday, June 12, 2025
The Moon moves through Capricorn all day. This is a working moon, focused on what is real and steady. The emotional intensity of earlier in the week begins to quiet. What remains are the tasks that need attention and the decisions that require follow-through.
This is a good day for honest effort. You don’t need to push yourself to accomplish everything. But you do need to be clear about where your time and energy are going. Not every obligation is worth continuing. Take a close look at your responsibilities. Are they aligned with your current values, or are you maintaining them out of habit?
Let the day be shaped by focus and intention. Do what needs doing with care. There is strength in steady action, especially when it comes from clarity rather than pressure.
What am I committing to, and does it reflect what matters most to me?
Where can I focus my effort so that it supports what I care about?
What does responsibility look like when I’m acting from clarity rather than habit?
QUIET AUTHORITY - Friday, June 13, 2025
The Moon remains in Capricorn today, continuing yesterday’s themes of effort, clarity, and restraint. This is a good day to keep moving forward without urgency. Let your actions reflect what you know rather than what you feel pressured to prove.
Capricorn supports long-range thinking. You don’t have to rush. Pay attention to what you’ve accomplished through persistence. It’s easy to miss progress when it happens slowly. Take a moment to notice where you’ve shown up again and again, and how that has changed your relationship to the task at hand.
Where in my life do I feel most grounded, and what contributes to that steadiness?
What has my persistence made possible?
What kind of authority do I want to embody, and what does it require of me?
FRESH AIR - Saturday, June 14, 2025
The Moon enters Aquarius at 7:00 am EDT. After two days of grounded Capricorn focus, this shift may bring a sense of spaciousness. Aquarius invites a broader view and supports detachment from emotional entanglements. It becomes easier to think clearly when you're not reacting in real time.
Today is a good time to pause and step back. You may recognize a pattern you no longer need to repeat. A new idea may come in once you stop trying to force a solution. Give yourself room to approach familiar issues from a different angle.
Emotional distance can be useful. It allows connection without overwhelm. Let there be room in your conversations and your thoughts. A little space can bring in new clarity.
Where do I need more distance to see clearly?
What pattern am I ready to interrupt?
How can I stay connected while also staying centered?
TENSION AND TIMING - Sunday, June 15, 2025
The Moon remains in Aquarius throughout the day. This can support objectivity, which may be needed. Two difficult aspects form today, both carrying pressure and the possibility of disruption.
At 5:46 am EDT, Mars squares Uranus. This combination can bring restlessness, impulsive reactions, or a strong urge to break free from limits. Be careful with sudden decisions, especially if they come from frustration. If something needs to change, take the time to choose how, and when.
At 10:35 am EDT, Jupiter squares Saturn. This is a longer-term aspect, but it may be strongly felt today. Expansion meets resistance. You may feel pulled between the desire to move forward and the need to respect your current limits. This tension is not a dead end. It is a sign that something important needs adjustment before it can continue.
Let the Aquarius Moon help you step back from the pressure. You don’t need to solve everything today. You do need to pay attention to what feels unstable and ask what it requires.
Where am I feeling pressured to act, and is that pressure internal or external?
What structure needs to shift for real growth to occur?
How can I hold steady while navigating uncertainty?
