Retrograde planets: Jupiter (until 10th July), Mars (until 28th of August), Saturn (until 6th September), Pluto (until 2nd October) and Neptune (between 18th June and 26th November).

MOON PHASES:

NEW MOON in GEMINI on 13th June 2018 at 15:43: You can seed for change with the power of our thoughts and words to shape your reality. Mutual reception between Mercury and the Moon it is an invitation for all of you to use emotional intelligence. Rather than retreating into your shells or striking out, you’re advised to keep your hearts open to the opportunity to resolve older issues.

The cooperation between Mercury and Uranus is likely to encourage conversations, especially when you’re willing to speak the truth of our unconventional ideas, with love and sensitivity.

FULL MOON in CAPRICORN on 28th June at 00:53: This Full Moon helps you to clarify your priorities and realign with what’s most meaningful to you. You could become aware of having assumed too much responsibility or taken on a burden that isn’t really yours.

Putting your attention inward for reflection could be the best strategy to avoid anger. If anger arise now, especially anger that’s long been repressed, it means that you blow up feelings from times when you failed to stand up for yourselves, when you acted from wanting to please others and you did not listen to your true self needs.

With Retrograde Saturn, as dispositor of the Full Moon, it suggests that this is a time of restructuring. Do not be afraid to change your life.

During this retrograde cycle of Mars, it is preferable to avoid extreme sports and events involving imprudent and risk-of-accident actions. Try not to respond to challenges of any kind during this period. Do not rush things, if you see obstacles in your actions, try to find constructive solutions to move forward. The more you resist the changes, the more you will have conflicts with others. Take more care of yourself and avoid surgery especially in the following areas: hips, thighs, femurs, blood vessels (arteries), sciatic nerve, pelvis, pituitary and liver, genital and excretory system, nose, ovary, bladder and the prostate. Also, male activities may encounter problems during the relegation period of Mars: everything related to cars, army, police and so on. The affected zodiac signs are: Aries and Scorpio and in the signs where the planet is retrograde (Aquarius and Capricorn).

Scorpio relates to taxes, banking, and shared resources; consequently, costs may rise. Keeping an eye on our savings and our debts may be paramount to protecting our future interests. Power dynamics may also be more visible during this transit, with some people perhaps wanting to create large displays of their power and influence. The most challenging manifestation of this transit can be fears that tend to multiply. In the darkness, shadows loom larger than life beneath Jupiter’s magnifying influence. Positively expressed, wise Jupiter seeks to understand the complexes that lie in the deepest reaches of the psyche. He knows that great treasures are buried in these mysterious catacombs. Until 10 July Jupiter is in retrograde motion. During this retrograde cycle of Jupiter, people tend to learn from their own experiences some faith-related lessons, and situations may arise when certain adjustments are required for some large-scale projects. If you are traveling during these times, try to organize your traveling better and do not panic if you lose your luggage. You will learn not to rely on the help of others and you will become more adaptable to reality. The affected signs are: Virgo, Sagittarius and Scorpio.

SATURN is already in CAPRICORN, until March 21st, 2020: Saturn is dignified and functioning well. This is a time for turning a critical eye to those of Your career choices that don’t accurately reflect Your authentic selves. Capricorn and Saturn want respect and Saturn in Capricorn will work hard to earn it. Conservation is a big theme now. Taking the easy road is not favoured during this transit. Rewards come from putting in the effort. You might also be striving for more authority in an area of your lives now. Saturn demands simplicity, definition, realism, and truth and it tests your weak areas that need strengthening.

*) If you do not know yet your Ascendant you may find it very easy by using any other free astrology website or software that you can find on internet. For this calculation, you need: day, month, year, location, hour and minutes of your birth. If you have possibility try to use the Whole signs (house system) because it is the oldest house system (used by ancient Greek astrologers) who has proven its real value during history.

IMPORTANT NOTES: In all my astrological research and interpretations, I use the Whole signs (house system) because it is the oldest house system (used by ancient Greek astrologers) who has proven its real value during history. When I am writing about aspects between planets, I use aspect from sign to sign; I am using a traditional way of interpretation of aspects. An aspect is not a must to be at perfect orb to have an effect. It is enough if we have a planet in a sign that forms an aspect with another planet from another sign. The most powerful aspects are: conjunctions, oppositions, squares and trines. 

I wish you the best transits!
