June and July have several planetary shifts in store,
each of them influencing to a certain extent our lives and worldview. Referring
to some concepts from Vedic astrology, Rahu and Ketu moved to sandhi degrees on
the fifth of June, thus setting the tone for the upcoming two months. We the
earthlings will begin to feel the momentum of Rahu and Ketu as they move the
former into Virgo and the latter into Pisces on the 12th of July.
Although you may feel the need to create major changes in your life, it is
better not to rush important decisions and plans. In order to be happy,
energized, and successful during the upcoming weeks, you should follow the
example of Saturn which is all about going slow and steady.
On the 7th of June, Mercury goes retrograde. This
planet is currently in the Gemini sign, with retrograde planets acting like the
nodes Rahu/Ketu. Mercury’s being in Ardra for a few weeks as well will lead to a
state of mind concerned with desire and cravings. The retrograde motion of
Mercury represents yet another period of clearing and cleaning of the mind, a
time of communication and of commerce. Pay attention to what needs to be
changed over the next three and a half weeks.
Mercury moves quickly which means that it usually doesn't
stay in a certain sign for more than a few weeks. Its transit through Gemini
will be extended until the 27th of July because of its rewind
motion. On the 1st of July, Mercury goes into direct motion. During
this period of time, focus on actions that you can take so that you may
progress and achieve your goals. Also, take care of all financial aspects of
your life: pay taxes, outline financial plans, pay off debts, improve your
business, etc. This period can also be a time of creativity and inventiveness,
so use it to your advantage.
