Saturn stationing retrograde today at 07º Pisces requires a serious review of the past 3 months while the New Moon at 26º Gemini begins a new cycle. This mutable menagerie is anchored by Venus in Leo who reminds us to keep living authentically despite all the uncertainty.

Check your birth chart to see which house contains Gemini. This will tell you the area of life that is experiencing a new beginning. If you have any placements at or near 26º of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces), this lunation is more personal to you.

Venus in Leo is sextile to Mercury in Gemini, ruler of this New Moon. It’s pretty rare for a New Moon to be copresent with its ruler like this. The added benefic support from Venus adds a pleasant nature to this new beginning. The collective is shifting out of a slump that began in March and cleansing the system of toxins that were keeping us sick. It takes patience to turn the ship around, but she’s a-turnin’!!

Saturn entered Pisces March 06, 2023 and has advanced to 07º12’ of this sign. Those of you with placements in your birth chart at or around 07º of mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) have likely been noticing the slow drag of Saturn more than others as it gains speed again. She first reached 07º Pisces on June 02 and will remain at this degree until July 04. During this retrograde cycle, Saturn will regress back to 00º Pisces and station direct there on Nov 04, 2023.

Saturn’s main aspect at this time is a sextile to Jupiter in Taurus, which goes exact on June 19 and will be active until about June 24. As the two visible gas giants sit in this harmonious aspect, Saturn’s discipline and responsibility can manifest into tangible growth and prosperity. What are you bringing into fruition? Check the houses in your birth chart that contain Pisces and Taurus for more insight into which areas of live are activated by this aspect.
