The month Jupiter trines Pluto on the 3rd, kicking off the month with a rare transit that we haven’t seen since 2016. A trine is a harmonious aspect between planets, and since each planet represents growth and learning, it’s an excellent time to channel new visionary insights that could expand your personal growth.
On the 20th, Cancer season begins, marking the seasonal debut of the summer solstice. Note these Moon dates in your diary: the New Moon in Gemini on the 6th and the Full Moon in Capricorn on the 22nd.
Another planet, Saturn, joins Pluto retrograde at the end of the month on the 29th. Saturn represents structure and systems, so this summer is about rethinking what productivity actually means. And, it doesn’t mean staring at your screen for half of the time. What do you need that will make you feel alive and thriving, rather than just merely existing? Perhaps it looks like taking a brisk walk when you feel your brain cells need rest and restoration. Either way, It’s time to reupholster your productivity systems on an inner and outer level.

The planets that rule the root of your chart are offering you some existential questions to do with home and belonging. With Mercury and the Sun in Cancer, you might feel a lot more vulnerable and exposed than you’re used to. You’re probably going to get different ideas about how to build a wholesome ‘home’ for yourself, but just know you don’t have to give up your housing lease just yet.

Just be mindful on the 11th, as Pluto squares off with Mars, which might push the button for your secret power-hungry side.
