Despite what we historically associate with summer, its first day, June 21, does not, alas, magically transport us to vacationland. The day’s chart imprints the summer with dynamic tension spurring us to action, ongoing assaults on the norm and a nervous push-pull relationship to desires and objects thereof.
How we get along with each other is an ongoing issue, hot in June and with us the whole season. Collectively we’re in for more evidence of the disconnect between men’s and women’s realities. More physical and legislative violence against women is coming, and so are arguments about what that means. We’ll be seeing increasingly who’s with us and who’s against us, on both a grand and personal scale.
However distressing the news may sometimes be, the end of the month promises reason for optimism, with more to come in July. Venus’ move into Gemini on the 23rd opens a release valve on tensions, disagreements and overall heaviness. The goddess of love and beauty is entering a light-hearted mode of expression that prefers friendly chatter and the pursuit of fun. Her shift brings her back to harmony and alignment with the masculine, represented by her consort Mars in the fellow air sign of Libra. As the pair moves toward the easy flow of a trine (exact in July), reaching common ground is likely in relationship and male/female issues.
