[Fate & Free Will ] Astrology for the Week of June 23 - 29

I know there is a lot happening in the world that is hard. And yet, the astrology this week holds so much promise for something beautiful. Possibly on a global scale but definitely in the personal lives of the people contending with the fubar nature of the global reality. 

There’s a quote that I absolutely adore and it’s perfect for this week’s Jupiter boosted New Moon in Cancer.

“There is freedom waiting for you, on the breezes of the sky, 

and you ask "What if I fall?" 

Oh but my darling, What if you fly?”

• ☽ V/C | 4:25 am» Eastern
• ☉ at 02° 08‘ Cancer □ ♆ at 02° 08‘ Aries  | 4:29am Eastern

Monday everything looks meaningful (at first glance). 

But try asking a follow-up question and the whole thing wobbles. It’s a day of big feelings and unclear follow-through, where confidence might be doing more work than facts.

• Best for: Selling a vision; painting something in the best possible light
• Potential Challenges: Taking vague ideas too seriously; wasting time chasing something that doesn’t hold up

Tuesday 06/24

• ☉ ☌ ♃ at 03° 21‘ Cancer |11:17 am  Eastern
• ☽ V/C |» 11:44 pm Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Cancer |11:44 pm  Eastern

Tuesday everything feels just a little extra, like the volume got turned up on luck, mood, and expectations all at once. 

There’s a big-picture glow on things today, which can make ordinary wins feel like a coronation and small annoyances feel like personal offenses.

• Best for: Making a confident offer; getting attention from someone with influence; making a big decision with confidence
• Potential Challenges: Assuming support means permission; blowing something out of proportion; overpromising before the details are settled

Wednesday 06/25

• ☽ at 01° 39‘ Cancer □ ♄ at 01° 39‘ Aries |2:28 am  Eastern
• ☽ at 02° 09‘ Cancer □ ♆ at 02° 09‘ Aries |3:16 am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♃ at °03 32‘ Cancer  |5:33 am Eastern
• Cancer 🌑 New Moon |6:31 am Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ☉ at at 04° 07‘ Cancer |6:31 am Eastern
• ☽ at 04° 35‘ Cancer ✳ ♂︎ at 04° 35‘ Virgo | 7:16 am  Eastern

Wednesday has that big warm, just-say-yes energy, a fresh start that actually feels good. 

A New Moon wrapped in Jupiter’s exalted glow means there’s more behind this beginning than just hopes and dreams. There's backing, momentum, and probably someone quietly holding the door open for you while you’re still deciding whether to walk through. 

Today, and to a greater extent the new beginning that is being initiated with this super charged New Moon, is generous, steady, and built for real follow-through, especially if you’ve got a plan.

Best for: Starting something big and beautiful that needs time, support, for a long-term payoff; asking for help from someone with real influence.
Potential Challenges: Letting comfort slow you down; expecting things to unfold without putting in any effort.

Thursday 06/26

• ☿ at 29° 28‘ Cancer ✳ ♅  at 29° 28‘ Taurus | 5:44 am  Eastern
• ☉ at 05° 13‘ Cancer ✳ ♂︎ at 05° 13‘ Virgo | 10:11 am Eastern
• ☽ at 21° 15‘ Cancer ✳ ♀︎ at 21° 15‘ Taurus | 11:08 am  Eastern
• ☿ ▻ Leo |3:09 pm - 3:09 pm Eastern

Thursday all of the ducks line up in their rows just right to keep things moving. 

Conversations click, small tasks get wrapped up neatly, and people are generally more agreeable. 

• Best for: Following up on something that’s almost done; light planning that doesn’t require a lot of buy-in; taking steps towards your New Moon goal
• Potential Challenges: Overlooking details because it all seems easy; assuming everyone is on board when they’re not

The other thing that’s going to happen to kick things into high gear is that Mercury moves into Leo at 3:09 pm eastern.

Mercury in Leo is, sure of itself, and totally uninterested in small talk. Words are meant to impress, persuade, or entertain (sometimes all at once). 

It’s a good time for making declarations, telling a story like you lived it twice, or finally saying the thing you've been rehearsing in your head for a week.

• Best for: Pitching with flair; speaking up in high-stakes moments; adding style to what might otherwise be dry information.
• Potential Challenges: Talking over others; overstating your case; thinking confidence makes something true.

Friday 06/27

• ☽ at 29° 31‘ Cancer ✳ ♅ at 29° 31‘ Taurus |1:16 am Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 1:16 am - 2:05 am Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Leo |  2:05 am  Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ☿ at 00° 39‘ Leo  | 3:13 am  Eastern
• ☽ at 01° 43‘ Leo △ ♄ at 01° 43‘ Aries |5:04 am  Eastern
• ☽ at 02° 09‘ Leo △ ♆ at 02° 09‘ Aries |5:49 am  Eastern
• ☽ at 03° 12‘ Leo ☍ ♇ at 03° 12‘ Aquarius | 7:39 am  Eastern
• ☿ at 01° 44‘ Leo △ ♄ at 01° 44‘ Aries | 11:52 pm  Eastern

Friday there’s a lot of talking, but it’s not all noise. Look for what’s backed by a plan and a little bit of style. 

Say it like you mean it, and make sure you’ve thought it through, because fluff won’t hold up under pressure.

Best for: A confident and slightly bold proposal; stating your position clearly and getting others on board.
Potential Challenges: Overestimating how persuasive you are; slipping into performance when what’s needed is connection.

Saturday 06/28

• ☿ at 02° 09‘ Leo △ ♆ at 02° 09‘ Aries | 7:58 am  Eastern
• 🌒 Waxing Crescent Moon | 5:50 pm  Eastern
• ☽ at 23° 50‘ Leo □ ♀︎ at 23° 50‘ Taurus | 8:23 pm  Eastern

Saturday there’s a definite pull toward saying what sounds good over what’s real, so if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 

At the same time, things that usually feel too soft or too bold to say might actually go better than expected.

• Best for: Selling a big idea with charm; turning a vague hunch into something worth exploring.
• Potential Challenges: Sugarcoating something that needs clarity; trying to impress the wrong audience.

Sunday 06/29

• ☿ at 03° 10‘ Leo ☍ ♇ at 03° 10‘ Aquarius | 3:57 am  Eastern
• ☽ at 29° 38‘ Leo □ ♅  at 29° 38‘ Taurus | 7:02 am  Eastern
• ☽ V/C | 7:02am - 7:43 am Eastern
• ☽ ▻ Virgo | 7:43 am  Eastern
• ☽ at 04° 33‘ Virgo ✳ ♃ at 04° 33‘ Cancer  | 4:12pm  Eastern
• ☽ ☌ ♂︎ at 07° 13‘ Virgo  | 9:13 pm Eastern
• ☽ at 08° 38‘ Virgo ✳ ☉ at 08° 38‘ Cancer |11:54 pm Eastern

Sunday some things are better left unsaid, but that doesn’t mean they will be. 

There’s pressure to say something dramatic or dig up the truth, even if it sets off a chain reaction, and once it’s out there, it’s hard to stuff it back in the box.

• Best for: Spotting the flaw in a plan; stripping a message down to what actually matters.
• Potential Challenges: Pushing too hard to get a reaction; manipulation; saying the quiet part out loud and regretting it.

Until next time, my wish for you is hope and belief that launches your dreams into flight. -Robin 💋
