Astrology: Fall Equinox, September 22, 2025- Part 1 - Review

 My Melody & Kuromi Netflix Sanrio

 For the Summer Prognostic, I wrote:

A feeling of positive, progressive, idealistic and deep spiritual reform begins to coalesce and this is accompanied by a heartfelt feeling of optimism, confidence, with an energetic, proactive attitude. Things can get disorganized, but we can express things clearly. These energies can help bolster us as we face some accompanying adjusting backlash in a reactionary process that can test our resolve and challenge our beliefs  and ideals. There can be a dissolving process that sees old structures fading out and there can be deluded, deceptive, confused feelings accompanied by despondency and anxiety. More volatile conflicts and accidents can occur in more extreme situations were things really break down. There can also be some obsessive tendencies with a desire for deep investigations as well as misleading communications related to blocked and repressed emotions. 

The Summer Solstice chart, was quite intense, with several dramatic incidents occurring around that time- for example, news reports for

June 23: US-Iran America’s attack on its nuclear facilities, Israel-Iran hostilites escalate, Church attack in Syria kills 20, Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil released, mandatory Ten Commandments in US school judged unconstitutional

Why 2025 became the summer of flash flooding in America

Much of the central and eastern U.S. has had above-normal precipitation over the three months from April 23 through July 24, 2025.

For communities in Texas, New Mexico, West Virginia and New Jersey, the floods have been deadly. And many more states have seen flash flood damage in recent weeks, including New York, Oklahoma, Kansas, Vermont and Iowa.

The Uranus shift to Gemini saw the release of several summer fantasy film blockbusters: Superman (2025 film)  July 7, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle July 18, The Fantastic Four: First Steps July 25,

and the surprise hit, KPop Demon Hunters June 20. 

My Melody & Kuromi a Netflix stop-motion animated series hit the #2 spot on Netflix's worldwide TV chart shortly after its July 24, debut. Kind of like Willy Wonka meets Perceval/Fisher King tale, a tale of jealousy, obsession, collective healing and redemption that could be considered as a good illustration of the Summer prognostic. 

Aug 7 Mars opposite Saturn, Neptune Full Moon 

Main takeaways:

A week prior, the heart-breaking, tragic death of 10-year-old Rebekah Baptiste underscoring  Jupiter in Cancer, June 9, focus on family values. This could be considered an exemplary event that encapsulates much of the Summer prognostic.

Delaying Nirvana in the Lankavatara Sutra

In The Voice of the Silence, the Nirmanakaya doctrine of renouncing Nirvana is presented, similar to the Bodhisattva vow to not attain nirvana until all living being are liberated, such as with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.  Below is a presentation of the doctrine from the Lankavatara Sutra, which discusses the ten stages of the Bodhisattva, from Chapter 11, in the Buddhist Bible, Dwight Goddard and D.T. Suzuki, 148-149 

THEN SAID MAHAMATI to the Blessed One: Will you tell us now about the disciples who are Bodhisattvas?

The Blessed One replied: The Bodhisattvas are those earnest disciples who are enlightened by reason of their efforts to attain self-realisation of Noble Wisdom and who have taken upon themselves the task to enlighten others. They have gained a clear understanding of the truth that all things are empty, un-born, and of a maya-like nature; they have ceased from viewing things discriminatively and from considering them in their relations; they thoroughly understand the truth of twofold egolessness and have adjusted themselves to it with patient acceptance; they have attained a definite realisation of imagelessness; and they are abiding in the perfect-knowledge that they have gained by self-realisation of Noble Wisdom.

Well stamped by the seal of "Suchness" they entered upon the first of the Bodhisattva stages. The first stage is called the Stage of joy (Pramudita). Entering this stage is like passing out of the glare and shadows into a realm of "no-shadows"; it is like passing out of the noise and tumult of the crowded city into the quietness of solitude. The Bodhisattva feels within himself the awakening of a great heart of compassion and he utters his ten original vows: To honor and serve all Buddhas; to spread the knowledge and practice of the Dharma; to welcome all coming Buddhas; to practice the six Paramitas; to persuade all beings to embrace the Dharma; to attain a perfect understanding of the universe; to attain a perfect understanding of the mutuality of all beings; to attain perfect self-realisation of the oneness of all the Buddhas and Tathagatas n self-nature, purpose and resources; to become acquainted with all skillful means for the carrying out of these vows for the emancipation of all beings; to realise supreme enlightenment through the perfect self-realisation of Noble Wisdom, ascending the stages and entering Tathagatahood.

In the spirit of these vows the Bodhisattva gradually ascends the stages to the sixth. All earnest disciples, masters and Arhats have ascended thus far, but being enchanted by the bliss of the Samadhis and not being supported by the powers of the Buddhas, they pass to their Nirvana. The same fate would befall the Bodhisattvas except for the sustaining power of the Buddhas, by that they are enabled to refuse to enter Nirvana until all beings can enter Nirvana with them. The Tathagatas point out to them the virtues of Buddahood which are beyond the conception of the intellectual-mind, and they encourage and strengthen the Bodhisattvas not to give in to the enchantment of the bliss of the Samadhis, but to press on to further advancement along the stages. If the Bodhisattvas had entered Nirvana at this stage, and they would have done so without the sustaining power of the Buddhas, there would have been the cessation of all things and the family of the Tathagatas would have become extinct.

Strengthened by the new strength that comes to them from the Buddhas and with the more perfect insight that is theirs by reason of their advance in self-realisation of Noble Wisdom, they re-examine the nature of the mind-system, the egolessness of personality, and the part that grasping and attachment and habit-energy play in the unfolding drama of life; they re-examine the illusions of the fourfold logical analysis, and the various elements that enter into enlightenment and self-realisation, and, in the thrill of their new powers of self-mastery, the Bodhisattvas enter upon the seventh stage of Far-going (Duramgama).

Supported by the sustaining power of the Buddhas, the Bodhisattvas at this stage enter into the bliss of the Samadhi of perfect tranquillisation. Owing to their original vows they are transported by emotions of love and compassion as they become aware of the part they are to perform in the carrying out of their vows for the emancipation of all beings. Thus they do not enter into Nirvana, but, in truth, they too are already in Nirvana because in their emotions of love and compassion there is no rising of discrimination; henceforth, with them, discrimination no more takes place. Because of Transcendental Intelligence only one conception is present-the promotion of the realisation of Noble Wisdom. Their insight issues from the Womb of Tathagatahood and they enter into their task with spontaneity and radiancy because it is of the self-nature of Noble Wisdom. This is called the Bodhisattva's Nirvana-the losing oneself in the bliss of perfect self-yielding. This is the seventh stage, the stage of Far-going.

Blavatsky - Isis Unveiled, volume 1, Introduction and preface

 

I, who am about to be sacrificed on the altar of public opinion, salute you!

The preface, although somewhat intricate, is pretty straightforward and is actually something of a bold manifesto for social, religious and intellectual reform. She is essentially arguing against a dogmatism that has created a separation between faith and reason, exemplified by the conflict between religion and science.

She argues that spiritual realities and phenomena are not outside of nature and do not depend on blind faith, but rather can be explained according to laws of nature, which modern science has not yet adequately understood. The reality of powers latent in each human soul is the fundamental principle explaining the essential spiritual reality or God, because it demonstrates one’s transcendent nature and this individual transcendent nature is linked to the absolute transcendent reality like a drop of water to an ocean.

She proposes to present a kind of perennial esoteric scientific philosophy, the Universal Wisdom-Religion or Hermetism as the solution to harmonizing and blending the spiritual with the material, faith and reason, religion and science. Moreover, a study and positive appreciation of ancient traditions of culture and knowledge to assist in this endeavour will be an important tool. To justify these claims, she clearly relates her acquaintance with Eastern adepts who have demonstrated and taught these notions to her.

Our work, then, is a plea for the recognition of the Hermetic philosophy, the anciently universal Wisdom-Religion, as the only possible key to the Absolute in science and theology.

She boldly declares her intention to question, challenge and critique many of the dogmas, beliefs, and values of the time and is very aware of the opposition and controversy that this endeavour will provoke and even names the likely sources:

1. Christianity
2. Science
3. Pseudo-Scientists
4. Broad Churchman and Free Thinkers
5. Men of Letter and Authorities
6. The Press

She concludes her preface with an optimistically combative statement, which however ends with a stern paraphrase of the roman gladiators salute:

“The contest now going on between the party of public conscience and the party of reaction, has already developed a healthier tone of thought. It will hardly fail to result ultimately in the overthrow of error and the triumph of Truth. We repeat again — we are laboring for the brighter morrow.

And yet, when we consider the bitter opposition that we are called upon to face, who is better entitled than we upon entering the arena to write upon our shield the hail of the Roman gladiator to Caesar: MORITURUS TE SALUTAT!”

For a good overview of the intense socio-religious ferment that Blavatsky is referring to, the following provide good references:

Bruce F Campbell – Ancient Wisdom Revived – 1982.

Lee Irwin’s broad overview Western Esotericism, Eastern Spirituality and the Global Future.

Before the Veil:

“Our voice is raised for spiritual freedom, and our plea made for enfranchisement from all tyranny, whether of SCIENCE or THEOLOGY.”

The ‘Before the Veil’ section is a little unwieldly; it is kind of a thing unto itself but is quite interesting nonetheless and, although kind of jumpy, the purpose is clear – to introduce some basic notions of ancient philosophy, in this case by making an argument for the revival of Platonism and also showing its close connection and origin in Indian philosophy.

Platonism is presented more in a Neoplatonic style that views the history of Greek philosophy as kind of perennial philosophy. Nowadays, Greek philosophy is strictly divided into Pre-Socratic, Classical, Middle-Platonic and Neoplatonic but perhaps those classifications are, although useful, too rigid and the Neoplatonists never made such distinctions and quoted freely from philosophers of all periods. Therefore this holistic, comparative presentation of Greek philosophy, although kind of quirky, is refreshing and much more spiritual than most studies.

Moreover, a tentative effort to demonstrate the connection with Indian philosophy is presented, comparing Plato’s Allegory of the Cave with the doctrine of Maya and the Pythagorean Tetraktys with the creation story in Manu Smriti. This notion could be considered a pioneering effort in Indo-European studies and lately Thomas McEvilley in The Shape of Ancient Thought has published a ground-breaking study that takes up this idea once again.

In the glossary at the end of this section, we have an initial attempt at defining the terminology that would later become so important; it’s kind of sketchy, but full of interest – of particular note are the Sanskrit terms which seem to show an intriguing knowledge of the more esoteric aspects of Hindu ritual that she would rarely expound on afterwards, with such terms as Akasha, Fakir, Mantra, Pitris, Soma and Yajna. The Vedas are generously quoted in these and in many other parts and so as a sample, the entry for ‘Evolution’ is an interesting example of a comparative study of creation myths.

She continues to define her project of dealing with the conflict between Science and Religion:

Between these two conflicting Titans — Science and Theology — is a bewildered public, fast losing all belief in man’s personal immortality, in a deity of any kind, and rapidly descending to the level of a mere animal existence. Such is the picture of the hour, illumined by the bright noonday sun of this Christian and scientific era! x

She does not deny the importance of a certain sceptical and critical outlook:

Would it be strict justice to condemn to critical lapidation the most humble and modest of authors for entirely rejecting the authority of both these combatants? Are we not bound rather to take as the true aphorism of this century, the declaration of Horace Greeley: “I accept unreservedly the views of no man, living or dead”?** Such, at all events, will be our motto, and we mean that principle to be our constant guide throughout this work. xi

It is not just a matter of blindly accepting all aspects of ancient wisdom, but sifting it and blending it with what is valid in modern knowledge, a kind of middle way between ancient and modern and re-uniting science and religion:

The whole question of phenomena rests on the correct comprehension of old philosophies. Whither, then, should we turn, in our perplexity, but to the ancient sages, since, on the pretext of superstition, we are refused an explanation by the modern? Let us ask them what they know of genuine science and religion; not in the matter of mere details, but in all the broad conception of these twin truths — so strong in their unity, so weak when divided.

Besides, we may find our profit in comparing this boasted modern science with ancient ignorance; this improved modern theology with the “Secret doctrines” of the ancient universal religion. Perhaps we may thus discover a neutral ground whence we can reach and profit by both. xii

She ends this long section with an eloquent critique of materialism and a plea for spiritual freedom:

Deeply sensible of the Titanic struggle that is now in progress between materialism and the spiritual aspirations of mankind, our constant endeavor has been to gather into our several chapters, like weapons into armories, every fact and argument that can be used to aid the latter in defeating the former.

Sickly and deformed child as it now is, the materialism of To-Day is born of the brutal Yesterday. Unless its growth is arrested, it may become our master.It is the bastard progeny of the French Revolution and its reaction against ages of religious bigotry and repression. To prevent the crushing of these spiritual aspirations, the blighting of these hopes, and the deadening of that intuition which teaches us of a God and a hereafter, we must show our false theologies in their naked deformity, and distinguish between divine religion and human dogmas. Our voice is raised for spiritual freedom, and our plea made for enfranchisement from all tyranny, whether of SCIENCE or THEOLOGY. xlv

Astrology: Uranus sextile Neptune (1/5), August 28, 2025

In many ways, this transit signals the beginning of the magic triangle, although it won't begin to stabilize until the latter half of next year. Gemini gives it a communications and social accent, with Aries adding a bold, pro-active energy. 

Uranus, at 1° Gemini 26′, forms a sextile with Neptune, at 1° Aries 26′ on August 28, 2025. This is the first of five in this set (as with many outer-planet transits, this aspect repeats multiple times over the course of many months).

When Uranus and Neptune connect, we want to shake up the status quo. We can be visionary and inspired... we’re seeking (and finding) illumination. It’s a time of more openness to alternative ways of living, believing, and expression. We’re receptive to different or unusual experiences and ideas.

At the same time, we’re averse to any form of force-feeding spirituality or belief systems, preferring our freedom to follow our intuition. It’s a time to reform and update how we express compassion, care for the underprivileged, pursue our dreams, seek escapes, and do art and creativity. However, we can also be more sensitive to stimulants.

Note that this aspect occurs very infrequently, and when it does, it usually occurs in sets of three or more due to retrograde motion. For example, it occurred in 1966-1968, first forming exactly in September 1966, then again in January 1967, July 1967, April 1968, and May 1968.

In 2025-2027, Uranus forms a sextile to Neptune in August 2025, November 2025, July 2026, January 2027, and finally, June 2027. Effectively, it’s in play from August 2025 to June 2027.

https://cafeastrology.com/events/uranus-sextile-neptune/ 

Uranus sextile Neptune transit represents spiritual awakening. You may begin to seek answers to philosophical questions that traditional religion or even science cannot explain. You may become more concerned about the future and humanity in general. In particular, you may wish to gain a deeper understanding of how you are connected to others at the mass-conscious level.

The answers to your questions are more likely to come through dreams, flashes of insight, and interaction with groups of like-minded people rather than through formal studies. It is common during this transit to become involved in occult, metaphysical, environmental, or humanitarian groups.

This is an excellent time to invent and create, especially if you have been blocked, experiencing a creative block, or feel that your life has stagnated. The changes in your life now lead to a greater sense of oneness with others and the universe.

https://astrologyking.com/uranus-sextile-neptune/ 

According to Robert Hand:

 

Many people under under this transit become very much concerned with occult philosophy, metaphysics, spiritualism and mysticism. You have a great need to see the universe as a whole and to understand your relationship to it. However orthodox religions and philosophies will not fulfill your needs at this time, so you turn to less orthodox studies. 

 

As your consciousness evolves, you will begin to associate with others whose views are similar, so that you can reinforce and strengthen each others insights. In this way you may get involved with organized groups that work to further occult and metaphysical studies. Whatever else happiness now, your ideals will be transformed, as will your aims and objectives. after this transit you will not be content to follow the same goals; the old ones simply won't have any meaning for you any longer. 

 

(Planets in Transit, 410)  

Astrology: Uranus in Gemini, July 7, 2025

Uranus is in Gemini from July 7, 2025 to November 7, 2025. Uranus will be in Gemini again later, from April 25, 2026, to August 3, 2032, and then from December 12, 2032, to May 22, 2033.

Uranus spends about 7-8 years in a sign. The range for Gemini is 2025 to 2033 with some transition periods between Taurus and Gemini and then Gemini and Cancer.

In Gemini, Uranus revolutionizes the ways we communicate, connect, learn, and teach.

It’s not a cycle that happens very often! In fact, the last time Uranus was in Gemini was from 1941 to 1949 (Aug  7 to October 4, 1941; May 15, 1942 to Aug 30, 1948; and  November 12, 1948 to June 10, 1949).

Through the vibrations of Uranus, we are inventive, intuitive, and perceptive, and we’re unbound to tradition, allowing us to make progress. Uranus can bring sudden changes, shocking news or events, estrangements, changes of fortune, progress, new orders, and accidents. In Gemini, Uranus is stirring up our ideas, learning, and communications. It revolutionizes our transportation and communication systems and sense of connectedness. There can be great progress and unpredictability.

During this 7 to 8-year cycle, learning and education can be disrupted, dramatically changed, or non-traditional. It’s a time that demands adaptability and open-mindedness. Information bites rather than chunks can be prevalent, and our communication styles, especially the ways we extend gestures and pleasantries, can change dramatically. Ideas can spread very quickly and create dramatic change during this period. There can be more movement, migration, and busy-ness in general. Sudden changes in alliances can occur, along with disruptions in friend groups. Revolutions regarding air quality can be a much-needed revelation.

It can also be a time when we’re moving toward more gender neutrality, particularly in our communications. Fashion can become more non-gendered. Our relationships with siblings and neighbors can undergo a change. In education, there can be more of a thrust toward inventiveness and creativity or intuition. Changes or advances in our experiences of short journeys can be remarkable. Labor-saving devices and revolutionizing what and how we read, exchange and disseminate information, trade, transit, transport goods, surveil, track, and learn can continue to develop, surprise, disrupt, and advance. Uranus brings strong themes of curiosity and interest.

Staying open to change, being young at heart, and being flexible can be in vogue. It’s a period of significant changes in social discourse and the seeking of freedom in and through communications and education. We’re breaking through inhibitions or taboos related to sharing ideas, education, and communications. Using words to shock or rebel comes naturally. We may lack follow-through, focus, and concentration. Nervous energy can also be extreme. It can be a time of liberation as well as disruption.

https://cafeastrology.com/events/uranus-enters-gemini/ 

First, let's look at how Uranus in Gemini opens our minds. We will learn to speak, write, and connect in new ways. And we have a new mirror, the mirror of artificial intelligence (AI), as well as the neuronal patterning of screens and smartphones, which has already shaped at least one generation. The way we awaken to the world and how we see, understand, and make sense of things will be accelerated. New capacities will be developed, and it’s possible a whole new system of education will be designed during this period, overhauling older structures and systems.

Prior Dates for Uranus in Gemini (GMT)

• 1941-1949(7 Aug - 5 Oct 1941, 15 Oct 1942 - 30 Aug 1948, and 12 Nov 1948 - 10 Jun 1949)
• 1859-1866(2 Jun - 1 Jan 1859, 14 Mar 1859-- 27 Jun 1865, and 17 Feb - 27 Mar 1866)
• 1774-1782(19 Jun - 1 Dec 1774, 8 Apr 1775 – 13 Jul 1781, and 12 Jan 1782 - 28 Apr 1782)
• 1690-1698(10 July – 4 Nov 1690, 28 Apr 1691 – 31 Jul 1697, and 16 Dec 1697 - 18 May 1698)
• 1606-1614(9 Aug - 2 Oct 1606, 15 May 1607 - 23 Aug 1613, and 20 Nov 1613- 5 Jun 1614)
• 1523-1530(23 May - 23 Dec 1523, and 3 Mar 1524 - 13 Jun 1530)

https://www.astro.com/astrology/opa_article250324_e.htm 

 Education could see vast reforms, with more options or new ideas on how best to learn. How we communicate could mean abandoning social media for new forms of connection or utilizing far-out technology to send messages to each other. New forms of literature could shake up the publishing industry. Significant changes to neighborhoods might show up as gentrification, communal living, or updated infrastructure. Because Uranus takes about seven years to move through a sign, we might not see these changes until we’re halfway through this period. The best attitude is one of flexibility as things begin to take shape.

 

The last two times Uranus was in Gemini coincided with war, including the Civil War (1861 to 1865) and World War II (1941 to 1945). Does this mean we might experience something like that? Not necessarily. However, it’s possible we could be forced to deal with ongoing disinformation campaigns via social media or technological warfare, such as cyber attacks. Uranus is the rebel planet, so the collective might be ready for revolution, which could come through unions, class consciousness, and cultural change. The status quo might fall out of favor and get the heave-ho. Considering that Pluto, the planet of transformation, is in Aquarius, a new, inclusive world may be made possible. This will not come without conflict. Instead, we must be ready to push back and fight for our ideals.

25 April Uranus conjunct Gemini 09:00 pm EDT Tran-Tran 00° Gemini 00′

Scientific and technical discoveries will be unveiled and much relied-upon over the next seven years that may be revealed as overrated, misjudged, or even dangerous in hindsight. Nevertheless, the brilliance of it all dazzles everybody, and eye and mind appeal overcome gut reluctance. The result will be new tools, and afterwards the wisdom of how to use them.

Astrology: Summer Solstice, June 20, 2025- Part 2 - Chart

Moonshadow 

 

With a very intense lead-in to the Summer Solstice with the Air India plane crash with 270 casualties, major immigration protest crackdowns in Los Angeles , a mass shooting at a school in Austria, Israel launching major offensive against Iran, we already been given strong glimpses into the Solstice chart, and with so many planets sitting in unstable early degrees of signs, we can expect these types of convulsions for the rest of the year as the new configuration starts to take a more stable form when Uranus moves into Gemini in April 2026, the final card of the great planetary shifts. 

June  9 Jupiter in Cancer

Jun 15  Mars square Uranus 

June 15 – Jupiter square Saturn (3 of 3)

June 19 – Jupiter square Neptune (1 of 1)

 

1- Pluto, Saturn/Neptune Uranus tight Minor Grand Trine Magic Triangle

 

A period of potential revolution, innovation and reform in socio-political structures focused on the environment and finance (Pluto trine Uranus). Deep psychological insight facilitating spiritual progress, idealistic values (Neptune sextile Pluto) and spiritual awakening (Neptune sextile Pluto) with an aptitude for realistic analysis (Mercury trine Saturn). Saturn conjunct Neptune can bring some inhibiting factors into these progressive impulses. with anxiety caused by clinging to dissolving structures (or also an impulse for sacrifice) (Saturn conjunct Neptune) but also a certain conservative, stability (Saturn sextile Pluto) among amidst the revolutionary fervor and financial optimism (Saturn sextile Uranus).

2-Moon Mars Sun/Jupiter tight Minor Grand Trine

Strong sense of well-being, optimism(Sun conjunct Jupiter) , assertiveness (Moon trine Mars), enthusiasm, sociability (Mars sextile Jupiter), with a stable, positive, emotional outlook (Moon sextile Sun ) with an ability to take action efficiently and vigorously (Sun sextile Mars.), in a balanced fashion (Moon sextile Jupiter) especially in family and home environments and situations. 

 

3- Jupiter/Sun square Saturn/Neptune

With Sun conjunct Jupiter and Saturn conjunct Neptune, the Jupiter-Saturn square will have added intensity as it marks the completion of the first quarter of the twenty-year Jupiter-Saturn cycle. It can be considered a kind of speed bump, a reality check to see if one's enthusiastic dreams and projects are evolving along realistic lines.

There will be added confidence and motivation (Sun conjunct Jupiter) but it could prove difficult to untangle organizational and relational problems. There could be some disorganization and disorientation (Sun square Neptune) with a tension between family and home issues versus the need to act on social values and ideals.  

'Religions or spiritual delusions are another danger of this transit. You may be tempted to run after false messiahs or teachers whose ability to dazzle with spiritual phrases exceeds their ability to teach you how to cope with your life." (Robert Hand, Planets in Transit, 302-303) 

 

4- Mars, Uranus, Moon, Pluto, Mercury squares

The frustration and depression feelings could get more volatile with powerful Mars in Scorpio square Uranus in Taurus  (exact on June 15, in orb until July 10) and this volatile energy will remain present with Mars opposite Saturn August 8 and Mars square Pluto, September 24)  with some impulsive, surprising possibilities, related to financial and environment themes. There can be added emotional tenor that can bring a crisis, suspicion and obsessive ruminations, wanting to dig deeply for controversial information for reform purposes (Moon in Taurus square Pluto in Aquarius). There can be misleading communication tendencies, with a reluctance to express what one feels, often related to family situations and relations (Moon square Mercury in Cancer).

 

Analysis

When Uranus enters Gemini in April 2026 we will have entered into an exceptional year of positive aspects. Before that Jupiter square Saturn and the general instability is placing speed bumps that allow to process the big changes that are coming. It's a time to lay aside old things that one has outgrown. There can be a lot of convulsions, conflicts as old systems struggle to resist the energies of change, with the Jupiter-Saturn square, ending the first quarter of the 20-year Jupiter-Saturn cycle, that creates tensions between optimism and pessimism, depression and over-confidence as the first of the cycle adjusts to move into the next five-year phase, the most positive of the 20-year cycle. There is a tension between the desire to face pressing socio-political economic challenges (Mars square Uranus, Saturn, Neptune in Aries) and just stay home and relax in pleasant surroundings (Sun, Mercury, Jupiter in Cancer, Moon, Venus in Taurus).

 

Prognostic 

A feeling of positive , progressive, idealisict and deep spiritual reform begins to coalesce and this is accompanied by a heartfelt feeling of optimism, confidence, with an energetic, proactive attitude. Things can get disorganized, but we can express things clearly. These energies can help bolster us as we face some accompanying adjusting backlash in a reactionary process that can test our resolve and challenge our beliefs  and ideals. There can be a dissolving process that sees old structures fading out and there can be deluded, deceptive, confused feelings accompanied by despondency and anxiety. More volatile conflicts and accidents can occur in more extreme situations were things really break down. There can also be some obsessive tendencies with a desire for deep investigations as well as misleading communications related to blocked and repressed emotions.

Sun in Cancer This has to do with feelings, making the things you feel and care about a reality. Nurturing is in focus. Our attention turns to our nest–our families, homes, and anything that makes us feel “at home,” safe, and secure.

Moon in Taurus While the Moon is in Taurus, people can be emotionally constant but inflexible. It's a time of stronger focus on personal needs and comfort levels, and a period of more common sense and attention to practical matters. 

Mercury in Cancer (June 8-26) We have less interest in what is universal and more interest in what affects us personally and the people close to us. Our thoughts are colored by our emotions, making it more challenging to be objective. 

Venus in Taurus (June 6-July 4) In Taurus, Venus is naturally very sensual, content, and possessive. We seek security and value those things that are long-lasting. Our appetite for pleasure is strong.  With art, tastes, and pleasures, we prefer things that are earthy, natural, and grounded. We can be somewhat indulgent at this time. 

Mars in Virgo (June 17-August 6)  passion for details, a need to do just the right thing at just the right time, and a burning desire to have a place for everything and everything in its place.

Jupiter in Cancer Self care, security, setting down roots, establishing your ties with the past; often a sign of growth in all things connected with family and property.

Saturn in Aries You are resourceful, and capable of applying new methods in a practical manner. Your lessons are in patience and self-reliance.

Uranus in Taurus We approach money and personal possessions in new ways and learn how to free ourselves from certain material constraints.

Neptune in Aries the potential to be spiritual pioneers. They take risks in exploring the mystical realms. This generation may also boast many pioneers in the arts.

Pluto in Aquarius Reform, revolution, a rejection of the past and a focus on the future. People in this generation have the ability to make scientific breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, and may be forced to change the way science is viewed.
