We cooperate with Life: Life gives us options; our decisions give it form.
Each month we celebrate one of the 12 chapters of the cyclical Universal Story. See three articles about the current chapter in the Cancer edition of Quest for the Elixir, “Deterrents”.
Trends in the Transits is the monthly astrological forecast.
Trends in the Transits
SIGN PLACEMENTS OF PLANETS THIS MONTH:
Pluto is in Aquarius
Uranus is in Taurus and Gemini
Jupiter is in Cancer
The Sun will be in Cancer from June 20 through July 22. The following forecast for the month of Cancer is general and will apply to everyone.
Each aspect listed below will be in effect (“in orb”) between its Entering and Leaving dates but strongest on its Exact date. The aspects in play at any time may or may not harmonize well with one another.
TRANSITING MARS SEXTILE TRANSITING JUPITER
In Orb Jun 20 2025, Already Jun 20 2025, Exact Jun 22 2025, Leaving Jun 26 2025
Personal desires are in harmony with positive philosophy now, so that confidence and courage can rise high. Something good is worth fighting for. The right thing to do is clear, success is within reach, and we’re ready for strong action.
TRANSITING JUPITER SQUARE TRANSITING SATURN
In Orb Jun 20 2025, Already Jun 20 2025, Leaving Jun 23 2025
Life may give us a cheerful pep talk along with a “reward” that we’re hesitant to accept. The problem is that, though it may be well meant and might normally be welcome, it’s unrelated to the responsibilities we already have, and it interferes with them. We may really want it and find it too tempting to resist, or it might be imposed on us against our will. If so, we have to find a way to simplify or restructure our duties, so that we won’t be overwhelmed by everything we have to do.
TRANSITING JUPITER SQUARE TRANSITING NEPTUNE
In Orb Jun 20 2025, Already Jun 20 2025, Leaving Jun 25 2025
This dangerous transit is notorious for combinations of pie-in-the-sky delusions and foolhardy overconfidence. We tend to lack common sense, and our judgement is often terrible. This is one of the worst possible times to make life-changing decisions or agreements. If a serious matter requiring sound judgement comes up now, the thing to do is delay action on it until the transit is over, and for now watch a movie or something instead.
TRANSITING SATURN CONJUNCTION TRANSITING NEPTUNE
In Orb Jun 20 2025, Already Jun 20 2025
The forecast for this transit is heavy rain on our fantasy/delusion parade, as Saturn subjects our dreams to a sober reality test. Realistic dreams can actually come true now, while unrealistic dreams and false beliefs are shut down.
A temporary grounding of imagination tends to interfere with our visualization of improvement over the status quo, so that an unwanted situation can seem more hopeless than it actually is. Things can and will eventually change for the better, but it doesn’t seem that way now.
We may feel disillusioned and gloomy, but to give in to despair would be the wrong response. The right one is to reassess our life and the beliefs and dreams that have been prompting our ambitions. This is a time for serious contemplation. What have we been trying to accomplish, anyway? Maybe somehow we could be making better use of our time.
TRANSITING NEPTUNE SEXTILE TRANSITING PLUTO
In Orb Jun 20 2025, Already Jun 20 2025
This long-lasting transit makes for good detective skills, enabling us to penetrate easily through mysteries to find the truth.
This time many of the mysteries we’re encountering are in challenges to try things we’ve never done before, and many of the solutions we seek are likely to be found through science or advanced technology.
TRANSITING SUN ENTERING CANCER
Jun 20 2025
Summer’s here! The emotional solstice tide tends to bring out our feelings, including memories of all kinds. During the Sun’s stay in Cancer, a strong need to feel the care, comfort, and security of family draws many of us home.
TRANSITING SUN SQUARE TRANSITING SATURN
Entering Jun 20 2025, Exact Jun 22 2025, Leaving Jun 24 2025
Uh-oh. Here we may run into obstacles and delays, easily exacerbated by fears. Difficult judgments and decisions may be necessary now. Though we need to be realistic, we do well to replace fear with wisdom and compassion. A barrier we face now is not the dead end it may appear to be; it’s a serious but manageable challenge that can stimulate our noble ambitions.
TRANSITING SUN SQUARE TRANSITING NEPTUNE
Entering Jun 21 2025, Exact Jun 23 2025, Leaving Jun 24 2025
This square seems to divert energy normally expended physically into the imagination, so that we feel less energetic than usual. Perception tends to be relatively unfocused, and action on the sloppy side. Normally it’s a good time to take a break from life’s practical pressures, if we can, and relax with a movie, a good book, or an artistic activity.
TRANSITING SUN CONJUNCTION TRANSITING JUPITER
Entering Jun 22 2025, Exact Jun 24 2025, Leaving Jun 26 2025
These are happy days of confidence, optimism, and generosity. A sense of being on the right side of moral or religious issues boosts our self-esteem. We’re inclined to see goodness and humor in life, and may want to expand our knowledge of the world.
TRANSITING SUN SEXTILE TRANSITING MARS
Entering Jun 22 2025, Exact Jun 26 2025, Leaving Jun 30 2025
The Sun supports Mars’s urge to action now. We’re ready to solve problems and deal with stress and competition. With just a little bit of effort, we can accomplish a great deal.
June 26 2025
TRANSITING SATURN SEXTILE TRANSITING PLUTO
Entering Jun 27 2025
This one gives us tremendous power to do what we have to do, no matter how we may feel about our duties. In the past we may have been too overwhelmed or unequipped to adapt to Pluto’s revelations, but that is not now the case. There is a supportive structure in place within which we can work effectively, without distractions or waste. We have an unusual degree of self-discipline, endurance, clarity, focus, and power at our disposal. All we need do is make an effort to use what we have. This is a great opportunity to work harder than we thought we could and be more productive than we’ve been in years.
TRANSITING NEPTUNE STATIONARY RETROGRADE
Jul 4 2025
Neptune is still in Aries, but is turning back towards Pisces now for corrections or ‘unfinished business’.

TRANSITING URANUS ENTERING GEMINI

TRANSITING SATURN SEXTILE TRANSITING URANUS
Entering Jul 17 2025, Exact Aug 11 2025
At this time we can get solid results from original ideas. We can help to bring some exciting advanced development into the mainstream of life. Circumstances may arise which call for the practical application of some innovation created by ourselves or our group. We have only to pause in our work with even newer ideas, and to find the situations of practical need where our solutions are now being sought.
TRANSITING SUN SEXTILE TRANSITING URANUS
Entering Jul 21 2025, Exact Jul 23 2025, Leaving Jul 24 2025
Exciting new ideas can inspire us now. Opportunities for creative expression or to join with others for a cause or purpose may come our way. This transit favors advanced technologies, inventions, and innovations.
TRANSITING URANUS SEXTILE TRANSITING NEPTUNE
Entering Jul 21 2025
Creative thought can more easily perceive and express natural connections between the physical world and the non-physical world. While this aspect is active, we can enjoy a wonderful time for spirituality, the arts, and inspired material production — and it will operate on and off until late May of 2028!
