Astrology: Summer Solstice, June 21, 2026- Part 1 - Review

For the Spring prognostic, I wrote:

 

The tight Mercury/Mars trine Jupiter brings idealistic, articulate, insightful energy with intuition and empathy, which can be dynamic, assertive and productive. Intense ideological debates could be a tendency. The magic triangle, aligned with the Sun and Saturn, brings a strong and realistic impetus for creative innovation, social change, and spiritual progress. A Jupiter in Cancer trine and square imparts a focus on family values and housing issues. The main obstacle this semester comes with Moon/Venus square Jupiter, which can distract with escapist emotional and sensual desires for personal self-indulgence, social dispersion, moodiness, indolence and procrastination.

 

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi visited the U.S. from March 18-20, 2026, meeting President Donald Trump on March 19

Mar 28 Saturn sextile Pluto 

More than 8 million people protested against the Trump administration at more than 3,300 No Kings events across the US (March 29) and in more than a dozen countries on Saturday, according to organizers. It’s the greatest number of protests in a single day in US history,

The Full Moon Easter Weekend of April 3rd, coinciding with the Artemis II Moon Mission was a little bit unusual, I noticed. I counted 5 significant moon-related events, covering three different areas, coinciding with that period. Interestingly, all events could be said to have Theosophical connections or influences. 1-A few days earlier, in Montreal, there was a 'Dark Side of the Rainbow' screening of the Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. 2- A plushie of Artemis the cat from Sailor Moon was spotted at Nasa Mission Control (a major new Sailor Moon musical also opened in Tokyo that weekend, interestingly introducing a new villain, Queen Valusia, which could be a nod to Robert E. Howard's King Kull (theosophically-infuenced lost civilizations) 3- There was the release of a major newswire article series on UFOs, related to US presidential de-classification order (Corey Williams). Coincidentally, prominent UFO researcher, with ancient alien beliefs, Nick Pope passed away at that time. 

Apr 25  Uranus conjunct Gemini 

The chart had 4 planets in conjunction in Aries (very dynamic), and a tight Sun square Pluto, with Uranus conjunct Venus (sociable, original) and Moon square Uranus, Mars, Mercury square Jupiter. Neptune and Pluto are in more stable positions in their new signs. Uranus should stabilize in the new sign of Gemini in about six months. That weekend was quite intense, some tough aspects with the overall positive Uranus ingress into Gemini:

 

White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting; residents evacuated as forest fires destroy buildings in Japan (April 25); Columbia bus bombing, (April 26) 

May 26  Mars  square Pluto 

Desires are intense and difficult to satisfy. A tendency to bully and confront may dominate. Efforts to make changes could be thwarted, or power struggles emerge. 

White House shooting, (May 23); Coal mining accident in China, 80 deaths; major flood in Yongchuan, Chongqing, where 296mm of rain fell in five hours in the early hours of May 24, 17 people missing, 3 dead; major heat wave in India, (May 26); Major wave of Ebola virus in Africa; Israel-Iran conflict flare up (June 7); chemical disaster in California;
