Astrological Overview and Horoscope: June 9 to 15, 2025:
A PIVOTAL AND INTENSE WEEK: Given the number of significant astrological events that will occur over the next seven days, the week ahead should be among the most memorable of 2025. From Jupiter entering empathic Cancer on Monday, to a fiery Sagittarius Full Moon on Wednesday, to Saturday's empowering sextile between Saturn and Sedna, to next Sunday's volcanic Mars-Uranus square and repressive Jupiter-Saturn square, this week's planetary agenda will certainly deliver.
We're already feeling the effects of next Sunday's Mars-Uranus square and Jupiter-Saturn square, but let's take these influences one by one, in order of exactitude:
Jupiter enters Cancer (June 9)—After spending a year traveling through informationally prolific Gemini, our largest known planet will transit emotionally sensitive Cancer for the next 12 months. During this time, Jupiter will magnify the Cancerian themes of home, family, security. and charity. We are likely to experience feelings of nostalgia for the past, feel somewhat more vulnerable than usual, and have a strong desire to protect and nurture. In the outer world, we should see new developments in nursing, childcare, the food industry, and other areas ruled by Cancer.
If Jupiter is successful in achieving its purposes while in Cancer, humanity will be developing a new type of wisdom over the next year—the Wisdom of the Heart. Our perspectives will come to be guided more and more by Empathy and Intuition, due to an ever-increasing sensitivity to our own and others' emotional state. We will also understand the need to have good boundaries, so that we know which emotions are "ours" and which ones we are picking up from the collective consciousness.
Full Moon (June 11)—The lunar cycle reaches its peak at 12:43 a.m. PDT this Wednesday, when the Moon is at 20°29' Sagittarius and the Sun is at the same degree of Gemini. The chart for the Full Moon shows a grand trine in fire signs between the Sagittarius Moon, Mars in Leo, and Chiron and Eris in Aries. Energy flows freely between these planets at the time of the lunation, inspiring new levels of creativity, courage, and confidence.
But, even with primarily harmonious aspects, there are some shadow potentials; with a fire grand trine, these include self-absorption, great shows of egotism or pride, and impulsiveness or a lack of emotional restraint.
The Sun and Moon are also square the nodal axis at the time of the Full Moon, bringing our attention to the qualities that are most needed at this point in humanity's evolution. As such, we are advised to focus on nonjudgment, compassion, and forgiveness (as opposed to fault-finding, shaming, or blaming). If we feel nervous, worried, or fearful, we are called to surrender anxiety to a higher power (including our own Soul or Higher Self) and to free the mind through meditation and self-reflection.
Rather than basing our well-being on whether we can control outer events or even know what to expect, the North Node in Pisces shows us that we will benefit more by trusting in positive outcomes and prioritizing our spiritual growth over material certainty. And, if we find ourselves resisting necessary changes, staying too long in an unpleasant situation, this Full Moon encourages us to be more flexible and adaptable, and to embrace the flow of change.
Saturn sextile Sedna (June 14)—This harmonious aspect provides opportunities for us to step into our greater destiny. It does this by showing us ways in which we might be giving our power away to external forms of authority. Working together, Saturn and Sedna help us transcend fears and traumas and thus reclaim our spiritual sovereignty.
Mars squares Uranus (June 15)—Dynamic Mars-Uranus aspects often manifest as unexpected events that are "earthquake-like" because they shake up the world as we know it. With impulsive Mars in Leo squaring irrational Uranus in Taurus next Sunday, we are likely to see dramatic shows of bravado and hear a fair amount of "roaring" from those who believe they are lions. Events that occur related to the energies of this square (either this week or next) could relate back to mid-July 2024, when Mars and Uranus were conjunct.
Jupiter squares Saturn (June 15)—This frustrating Jupiter-Saturn aspect is the third square between the two planets within the past 10 months. It represents a struggle between the forces that wish to grow and those that want to maintain the status quo.
This is the waxing square of the current Jupiter-Saturn synodic cycle, which began in December 2021 when the two planets aligned for their "Great Conjunction" in Aquarius. At that time, great expectations were birthed as to the future potentials of societal change. The current—almost year-long—square has been testing the higher intentions set at the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, resulting in challenges to existing political, legal, and religious systems.
For the previous two squares (in August and December 2024), both Jupiter and Saturn were in mutable signs, which tend to be more adaptable. Now that the two planets are in proactive cardinal signs (Cancer and Aries, respectively), we could see much more forceful reactions to laws and regulations that limit freedoms and go against the Aquarian ideals of social justice, individual rights, humanitarianism, and egalitarianism.

ASPECTS THIS WEEK:
Here are my brief interpretations of this week's most important individual planetary aspects, day by day:
Monday
Mars trine Eris: Courage and confidence are enhanced today. Some may take assertive action to defend themselves or to support those who have been mistreated.
Mercury square Saturn: Communications, transport systems, and technologies could face obstacles or delays today.
Venus square Pluto: Relationships could be intense as some are stubbornly possessive or suspicious.
Jupiter enters Cancer: Jupiter will travel through empathic Cancer from June 9, 2025 to June 29, 2026.
Mercury square Neptune: The brain could be foggy today, leading to miscommunications or misperceptions. Since we may not have good attention to details, it is best to wait for the fog to clear before making important decisions.
Tuesday
Mars trine Chiron: We can use this influence to be proactive in attending to self-care concerns, or to support others who are lacking in confidence.
Mercury quincunx Pluto: We may distrust what we hear or read today, sensing that there are ulterior motives in play. Conversations expose secrets and could bring hostilities to the surface.
Wednesday
Full Moon: The Full Moon peaks at 12:43 a.m. PDT, with the Moon at 20°29' Sagittarius and the Sun at the same degree of Gemini.
Mercury sextile Venus: This aspect enhances our connections with others. Communications and negotiations could be more successful now than earlier in the week.Thursday
Mercury square Ceres: Emotions may get in the way of clear understanding, with a tendency to take someone's words personally.
Friday
Sun square nodal axis: This aspect brings the higher intentions of this week's Full Moon more fully into our awareness. The mind's tendency to rationalize can interfere with the Soul's directives to be compassionate and forgiving.
Saturday
Saturn sextile Sedna: This longer-term aspect provides opportunities for us to rise above fear and to become more spiritually empowered.
Sunday
Mars square Uranus: Unexpected or sudden events can lead to significant changes.
Jupiter square Saturn: Conflicts involving legal, political, and religious systems reflect a significant social crisis. At its essence, this square represents a test of faith and a test of conscience.

If Your Birthday Is This Week (June 9 to 15):
You may feel energized to speak or to take a leadership role in support of a personal or social cause this year. There may be the opportunity to step into an advocate role for someone who is not able to speak for themselves. Throughout the year, you could find yourself questioning authority and also your usual ways of thinking. Along the way, there might be minor challenges in relationships due to differences of opinion. (Solar Return Sun semisquare Venus, sextile Eris)
