The Week Ahead 8-14 June
Mercury in Cancer, Jupiter in Cancer and the Full Moon in Sagittarius
Hello friend,
Have you seen the Moon? I took this picture of beautiful Luna yesterday at 8:33 p.m. She’s currently in her waxing gibbous phase, and she’s in Scorpio.
*All times are Pacific Time
Mercury conjoins Jupiter in Cancer at 1:11 pm (PDT). I love this conjunction, and I hope that Mercury delivered fantastic news or a creative opportunity. Mercury enters Cancer a few hours after this conjunction, so if you’re mentally inspired or in the process of learning something, Mercury takes your thoughts/knowledge and helps you communicate it with feeling. This is an excellent day for writers who want to infuse their words with emotion.
Mercury in Moon-ruled Cancer likes to reminisce. You’ll find yourself or those close to you talking about “the good ol’ days” or dwelling on past actions or events. Mercury’s transit through Cancer will heighten your sense of perception and help you attune to more subtle vibrations.
Mercury in Cancer is the long hug, the sharing of treasured family recipes, the family gathered around the dining table…
Start your day by asking, “How am I feeling in my body?” This is how you locate the Moon within you.
Monday 9 June
Moon enters Sagittarius 7:55am
Jupiter enters Cancer 2:02pm
Oh, glorious day! The Moon enters Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius hours before Jupiter enters his sign of exaltation, Cancer. Jupiter will be in Cancer until June 2026. This is good news for water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) and for those with Cancer Rising.
I recommend you make time today to honour Jupiter’s ingress. Create a small altar for Jupiter. You will need a blue or white candle and good-quality frankincense. Scratch his glyph on the candle with a toothpick or a sharp object.
Sit quietly in reverence before lighting the candle and burning the incense. Make an offering. Jupiter loves red wine and grapes. After a few minutes, ask Jupiter to help you grow your Cancer house in positive ways for your benefit and for the benefit of all beings. Try to perform this ritual within the hour of his ingress into Cancer. You can also do this on Thursday (Jupiter’s day).
Suppose you do not want to create an altar or show devotion to Jupiter, because you resist honouring a planetary being due to your religion or spiritual beliefs. In that case, you can consider how you want to expand your Cancer house or how you hope to grow and improve Cancer themes, such as home, family, and emotional well-being.
Jupiter’s ingress comes with a challenge from Saturn in Aries. The square will be exact on the 15th, but you may become aware of a need for commitment and hard work in your Aries and Cancer houses from today.
I go into greater depth in this week’s Saturn in Aries workshop. You can sign up here.

Sun square North Node/South Node 7:35 pm
To move forward towards the future you imagine for yourself, you must accept that your current mindset isn’t going to get you there. Make the necessary changes.

You may find yourself thinking about the power of groups. You may be thinking about joining a group to help further a cause.
