[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of June 16 - 22

This week has Mars *finally* moving into new territory after nine months. It might take a little bit to find your new groove.

We also have the Sun moving into Cancer (Solstice Time!!) late Friday night. He joins Mercury and Jupiter to lay the groundwork for a brand new beginning that will be initiated with the Cancer New Moon next week. Do you have any final things to tend to, polish, nurture, or otherwise prepare? This is the week to do it.

Monday 06/16

• ☽ at 25° 31‘ Aquarius  △ ☉  at 25° 31‘ Gemini | 6:02am Eastern
• ☽ at 28° 58‘ Aquarius □ ♅ at 28° 58‘ Taurus | 12:18 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 38‘ Aquarius ☍ ♂︎ at 29° 38‘ Leo | 1:30 pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C |1:30pm - 2:08 pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Pisces |2:08 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 35‘ Pisces △ ♃ at 01° 35‘ Cancer |5:00 pm Eastern

Monday starts with a sense that everyone’s on the same page, until it’s suddenly clear they’re not. 

Things heat up quickly when opinions clash or someone pushes too hard to steer the vibe. It’s still possible to get somewhere good, but it might take a detour through some attitude.

• Best for: pushing an idea to see what holds; catching real reactions when the pressure shows up.
• Potential challenges: turning tension into a contest; snapping back when something just needed a pause.

Tuesday 06/17

• ♂︎ ▻ Virgo | 4:35am
• ☽ at 11° 40‘ Pisces ✳ ♀︎ at 11° 40‘ Taurus | 11:01 am Eastern
• ☽ at 16° 49‘ Pisces △ ☿ at 16° 49‘ Cancer |8:08 pm Eastern

Tuesday trades drama for precision, like the group chat suddenly deciding to use bullet points. Things get quieter, but not in a boring way—there’s just more interest in getting it right than getting noticed. People are listening more, saying less, and secretly enjoying the slower pace.

• Best for: fixing something that’s been quietly bothering you; having a conversation that doesn’t need a follow-up text.
• Potential challenges: getting bored and making a mess just to feel something; letting low-priority tasks form a small but mighty rebellion.

Now, about Mars in Virgo. It’s been nine long months of flair and fire and frankly, Mars is tired. The new vibe is spreadsheets, not spotlights. Action gets quieter, sharper, and way more interested in whether things actually work.

• Best for: cleaning up what loud confidence left behind; handling real problems with zero fanfare.
• Potential challenges: obsessing over flaws until everything stalls; hiding in the to-do list to dodge bigger decisions.

Wednesday 06/18

• ☽ ☌ ☊ at 22° 15‘ Pisces  |5:40 am Eastern
• 🌗 Last Quarter Moon | 3:19 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 27° 47‘ Pisces □ ☉ at 27° 47‘ Gemini |3:19 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 05‘ Pisces ✳ ♅ at 29° 05‘ Taurus |5:34 pm  Eastern
• ☽ V/C |5:34pm - 7:07 pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Aries |7:07 pm Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♄ at 01° 27‘ Aries | 9:38 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 02° 06‘ Aries □ ♃ at 02° 06‘ Cancer |10:45 pm Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♆ at 02° 06‘ Aries  |10:46 pm Eastern
• ♃ at 02° 06‘ Cancer □ ♆ at 02° 06‘ Aries | 11:16 pm Eastern

Wednesday comes in hot with feelings, flashes of insight, and absolutely no chill. 

Everything feels like a sign, even if it’s just someone forgetting to reply. The vibe is big, messy, and kind of magical, but it’s also the perfect setup for saying yes to something you don’t fully understand.

• Best for: pitching something wild with a straight face; grabbing attention while people are still dazzled.
• Potential challenges: believing your own hype too fast; locking into a plan that looked better in the moment.

Thursday 06/19

• ☽ at 03° 22‘ Aries ✳ ♇ at 03° 22‘ Aquarius  |12:56 am Eastern

Thursday there’s no patience for long explanations today. People are moving fast, saying whatever pops into their head, and assuming everyone else is on the same page. They’re usually not.

• Best for: making a quick call without the group chat; powering through a task that doesn’t need feedback.
• Potential challenges: sending the message before you’ve read the room; turning a small misunderstanding into a full detour.

Friday 06/20

• ☽ at 20° 47‘ Aries □ ☿  at 20° 47‘ Cancer |6:31 am Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 57‘ Aries ✳ ☉ at 29° 57‘ Gemini | 9:49 pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C |9:49 pm - 10:42 pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Taurus | 9:52 pm Eastern
• ☉ ▻ Cancer | 10:42 pm Eastern

Friday people are fired up and ready to talk, but not everything is going to be copacetic with the listeners. 

There’s a strong desire to be understood, to get something across with clarity, but it’s easy to trip over your own point in the rush to say it first.

• Best for: saying the obvious thing out loud; keeping your message too clear to argue with.
• Potential challenges: steamrolling past nuance; saying something half-baked with way too much confidence.

At 10:42 pm eastern the Sun moves into Cancer marking the Summer Solstice (in the Northern hemisphere).

Once the Sun moves into Cancer and suddenly every move has a backstory. Action starts to come from loyalty, memory, or pride, and people get a lot quicker to defend what feels like theirs. It’s not loud, but it’s direct, and it doesn’t wait for permission.

• Best for: starting something that speaks to loyalty, legacy, or long-overdue payoff; making moves that have roots.
• Potential challenges: letting the past call the shots; pushing too hard to prove you’re right.

Saturday 06/21

• ☽ at 02° 10‘ Taurus △ ♂︎ at 02° 10‘ Virgo |1:29 am Eastern
• ☽ at 02° 35‘ Taurus ✳ ♃ at 02° 35‘ Cancer |2:10 am Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 20‘ Taurus □ ♇ at 03° 20‘ Aquarius |3:23 am Eastern

Saturday there’s a calm, steady push underneath everything today. Effort counts more than flash, and rewards come from staying with the thing that’s slightly boring but wildly necessary. 

A little tension might pop up around control, but it’s more about staying focused than starting drama.

• Best for: handling the practical stuff no one notices until it’s missing; making quiet moves that actually stick.
• Potential challenges: letting power struggles sneak into small decisions; losing momentum when things don’t feel exciting.

Sunday 06/22

• 🌘 Waning Crescent Moon | 12:12am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♀︎ at 16° 30‘ Taurus  | 1:01 am Eastern
• ♂︎ at 02° 51‘ Virgo ✳ ♃  at 02° 51‘ Cancer | 6:31 am Eastern
• ☽ at 24° 19‘ Taurus ✳ ☿ at 24° 19‘ Cancer |1:44 pm Eastern
• ☉ at 01° 35‘ Cancer □ ♄ at 01° 35‘ Aries|2:35 pm Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♅ at 29° 18‘ Taurus | 9:50 pm Eastern
• ☽ V/C |9:50 pm - 10:57 pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Gemini | 10:57 pm Eastern

Sunday comes with big ambition and absolutely no shortcuts. There’s a strong pull to grow, fix, or build something real but every step comes with a reality check. 

Confidence is high, but it won’t carry you past something that still needs work.

• Best for: putting effort behind something with long-term weight; making steady progress even when it’s not fun.
• Potential challenges: hitting walls you thought you’d already passed; getting discouraged when results don’t show up right away.

Until next time, my wish for you is compassion for yourself and the world around you. - Robin 💋
