294 | Jupiter in Cancer: At Home in the World!
Prepare to work through some conflicts, as practically everything in this busy week is in a fractious square to everything else. Mercury and Jupiter clash with Saturn. Venus squares Pluto, Mars squares Uranus, Mercury squares Neptune, and the Sun squares the lunar nodes, signaling the midpoint between eclipse seasons. The Sagittarius Full Moon highlights the big picture, and for a little respite from all those hard aspects, Jupiter moves into one of its favorite signs, Cancer. And a listener question about planets that are in difficult aspect, but in compatible signs. Plus: Man on wire, a mermaid, and making the world your home!

[1:36] Mercury squares Saturn (June 9, 3:48 AM PDT) at 00°59’ Cancer-Aries. Take responsibility for your actions and feelings. Delays and obstacles are likely in travel and communication. Tackle difficult projects, because this is an aspect that is designed to deal with difficult things.
[3:07] Venus squares Pluto (June 9, 10:20 AM PDT) at 3°31’ Taurus-Aquarius. This aspect can indicate major losses or gains in relationships and finances, and reminds us that nothing lasts forever. Venus' Sabian symbol, 4 Taurus, The rainbow's pot of gold. Pluto's Sabian symbol is 4 Aquarius, A Hindu healer.
[4:54] Jupiter enters its sign of exaltation, Cancer, on June 9 (2:02 PM PDT) through June 29, 2026. Jupiter was last in this sign from June 25, 2013-July 16, 2014. The more you see of the world, the more of it feels like home to you. Open your heart and your home – maybe literally enlarging or renovating where you live.
[7:55] On June 9 (3:54 PM PDT), Mercury squares Neptune (2°00’ Cancer- Aries). The Sabian symbol for Mercury is 2 Cancer, A man suspended over a vast level place, which is reminiscent of the movie Man on Wire. Mercury connecting with Neptune, even by square, brings inspiration, and any impossible journey begins with a vision.
[9:29] Moon Report! The Sagittarius Full Moon (June 11, 12:44 AM PDT) is at 20°39’ Sagittarius on the Sabian symbol 21 Sagittarius, A child and a dog with borrowed eyeglasses. This Full Moon reveals what was set in place at the May 26 Gemini New Moon. Think about why you set those goals and what they will mean in the overall scheme of your life.
[13:28] Lunar Phase Family Cycle (LPFC). This is the Full Moon (awareness point) in an LPFC that began with a New Moon on Dec. 12, 2023, at 20°40’ Sagittarius. The First Quarter (first action point) was on Sep. 10, 2024, at 19° Sagittarius. The Last Quarter Moon (final action point) is on March 11, 2026, at 20°49’ Sagittarius.
[14:54] Void-of-Course (VOC) Moon Periods. On June 9 (5:06 AM PDT), the Moon in Scorpio opposes Uranus. It's VOC for 2 hours, 49 minutes, then enters Sagittarius (7:55 AM PDT). If people are a little bit scratchy, instead of taking it personally, use this VOC Moon period to initiate a habit of refusing to engage in such situations.
[16:14] On June 11 (12:58 PM PDT), the Moon in Sagittarius trines Mars in Leo. It's VOC for 5 hours, 57 minutes, then enters Capricorn (6:55 PM PDT). Believe in your own capabilities.
[17:13] On June 14 (1:52 AM PDT), the Moon in Capricorn trines Uranus in Taurus. It's VOC for 2 hours, 8 minutes, then enters Aquarius (4:00 AM PDT). Switch up your morning routine a bit. Try something new.
[18:31] The Sun squares the lunar nodes on June 13 (2:47 AM PDT) at 22°38’ Gemini, Pisces/Virgo. This is the midway point between eclipse seasons. This point triggers the March 13, 2025 total lunar eclipse at 23°56’ Virgo and Pisces, and offers a glimpse of the Sep. 7, 2025, total lunar eclipse at 15°22’ Pisces. If you have any planets or points in your chart between 15-24 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, this square might make you feel you're at a turning point related to those planets.
[20:01] Mars squares Uranus (June 15, 2:47 AM PDT) at 28°54’ Leo-Taurus. This is a volatile combination of planets, so avoid situations that you know for a fact can be dangerous. Mars is on the Sabian symbol 29 Leo, A Mermaid. Uranus is on 29 Taurus, Two cobblers working at a table.
[22:18] Jupiter makes the last of three squares to Saturn (June 15, 7:36 AM PDT) at 1°18’ Cancer-Aries. This combination of planets is closely associated with the economy and the current cycle began on Dec. 21, 2020, with the conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn. This is an interesting action point in this overall cycle.
[24:22] Listener Paula asks about how to interpret planets that are in difficult aspect, but in compatible signs.
