Planetary Influences - June 2016


New Moon in Taurus - June 4

The New Moon for the month of June 2016 occurs on June 4th. The Sun, Moon and Venus would be at 21 deg Taurus. This means that all the planets except Mercury would be in fixed signs for a few days' time. This scenario would bring about situations that seem permanent and difficult to change in our lives.

Only Mercury has the power to bring about any changes as it is exalted in its own sign of Virgo. Moon would be exalted in the house of Taurus. The Moon-Venus combination in the sign of Taurus would be opposed by the Retrograde Saturn from Scorpio. This would further make you get stuck with your present ventures. Add to this the effect of Retrograde Mars also posited in Scorpio. Hence things are not going to be that easy this New Moon for those envisioning a change of course.

Sun and Venus Conjunction - June 6

Venus would be in conjunction (0 deg) with Sun on June 6th after which it would be visible in the western sky termed as the "Evening Star". Venus in conjunction with Sun becomes combust. Hence its power would not be visible or tangible during this period. The conjunction occurs at 23 degrees Taurus, Venus' own house. As the conjunction happens in the fixed sign of Taurus, natives would be feeling severe confrontations in relationships where their individuality would be put to test.

As Mars and Saturn would be opposing this conjunct pair from Scorpio, we would be tempted to react heavily to any sort of adverse conditions in our relationships that would further aggravate the negativity to the whole issue. However onJune 6th, Moon and Mercury would be on either side of the house of Taurus holding the conjunct pair and this would improve our perspective of life and help us to move forward with renewed vigour and strength.

Mercury would be entering the house of Taurus to join with Sun and Venus on June 7th. Then all the planets except Moon would be in fixed signs. From June 9th to 11th Moon also enters a fixed sign. Though this placement might bring about some liquidity and transparency, it is better advised to be patient for some more time till Sun and Venus move on to the house of Gemini, a friendly territory.

Though Mercury has the ability to get things forward, you might feel slowed down a bit thanks to the aspects of Saturn from the house of Scorpio. Anything planned for the month of June would not be that fruitful.
