Astrology highlights for the week of June 5, 2022:

 

00:49 – This week's theme is Tiny Triumphs. Believe in yourself! (And here's Celeste's Amazon storefront, with recommended books and oracle decks!)

 

02:10– The week's Big 3: First, Saturn is stationing to go retrograde (Rx) at 25 Aquarius, and Celeste breaks this down. You may be tested or required to take on more responsibility or may notice increased fear, anxiety, frustration, or limitations. Will the Lord of Karma reward you or call you to account for past actions? Saturn is also parallel Arachne (in myth, she was a weaver turned into a spider by goddess Athena). Saturn is retrograde until Oct. 22, 2022.

 

06:11 – Second, Mercury is direct, but still on 26 Taurus and the fixed star Algol. It continues to square Saturn but is sextile Neptune at 25 Pisces and trine Pluto at 28 Capricorn. Used well, this may bring creative thinking, the determination to stay with complex tasks, and the will to power through disappointments to get success. Celeste discusses current events and the tragic Uvalde school shooting. The mantra for the week is, "I communicate clearly; when unsure, I request clarification."

 

10:36 – Third, the Sun is contraparallel asteroid Atlantis, the lost city, on Jun. 7. Celeste shares about this legend with a nod to current events.

 

12:29 – This week, Celeste shares an archetype of the day with card pulls from the Wild Unknown Archetypes Deck by Kim Krans! On Sunday, the archetype is GNOSIS. Contemplate the mysteries of life. Try not to overintellectualize or literalize things. We start the week with the Crescent Moon in Leo. It may be a bit tense as the Moon opposes Saturn. The last aspect is a square to Mercury on Algol (Saturn is stationed at 25 Aquarius, still in the square with Mercury). The Moon enters Virgo at 11:21 pm PT.

 

14:02 – On Monday, the archetype is THE PRAYER. It's a visionary day, so how can you ask for guidance? The Virgo Moon's last aspect is a trine to Pluto – be transformative and strategic! The Sun in Gemini is sextile Chiron at 15 Aries, which may spotlight a wound. Venus in Taurus semisquares Neptune in Pisces – call in the dream! Uranus joins Pallas Athene at 16 Taurus, which may bring aha moments of clarity. Finally, Mars squares Ceres. How can you take action for what you want to grow and nurture?

 

15:40 – The archetype for Tuesday is THE UNDERWORLD. How can you face your fears? Today we have a First Quarter Moon (FQM) at 16 Virgo (7:48 am PT), encouraging us to take action. The Sun is on the fixed star Rigel, part of the constellation Orion. This FQM brings us back to the New Moon from last Sept. 6, 2021, at 14 Virgo: What did you start then, where are you now, and where do you want to be in March 2023 at the related Full Moon? The Sun in Gemini semisquares Uranus in Taurus and also quintiles Jupiter. Mars in Aries semisquares Saturn in Aquarius, which may bring tension with authority. Mars also quintiles Pluto in Cap: How can you work with power structures uniquely?

 

19:58 – On Wednesday, the archetype is ALETHEIA or TRUTH. Will there be clarity or revelations today? The Moon enters Libra at 8:22 am and ends with a square to Pluto: Remember that some wealth can come from underground.

 

20:44 – Thursday's archetype is THE WARRIOR, so you may have to stand up for your principles. Venus contraparallels Saturn, possibly bringing tense interactions in relationships. And Mars contraparallels Neptune, which can speak of a spiritual warrior.

 

21:31 – On Friday, the archetype is THE SIREN. The Moon enters Scorpio at 1:41 pm PT and is in the Gibbous Phase at 5 degrees. The last aspect is an opposition to Mercury – sexy talk, anyone?

 

22:33 – Saturday offers the archetype of THE SELF. Can you view yourself with detachment from a higher perspective? Venus is conjunct Uranus, possibly highlighting unexpected resources, values, money, or beauty.
