JUNE STARGAZER by Stella Woods
The whole cosmic enchilada MY OH MY! Do we have a big month ahead of us! In the first week of June not only is there a lunar eclipse at the Sagittarius full moon on the 4th, but we also have a ‘once in a blue moon’ transit of Venus to the sun on the 6th, as Venus hits the centre point of her retrograde cycle, as discussed in last month’s Stargazer. Now normally Venus is swallowed up by the sun at this ‘inferior conjunction’ and is nowhere to be seen, but, because of the way the planets are aligned this month, we will actually catch a brief glimpse of Venus fresh from the underworld (the unconscious) when she eclipses the sun and then disappears again only a few hours later. We don’t have a lot of astrological data for what might occur during such a celestial event, as they are so rare (the next Venus-sun eclipse is in 2117), and to complicate matters, the Venus eclipse of the sun takes place just two days after the full moon eclipse. We can, however, look at the symbolism of the planets involved and see how the story might unfold in our own lives.
Here are the main players: 1) The sun = yang, masculine, day time, life force, power, logic, consciousness
2) The moon = yin, feminine, night time, inner world, emotions, feelings, unconsciousness
3) Venus = beauty, love, passion, desire, lust, money, joy, pleasure
ACT 1 (LATE MAY TO 6TH JUNE) At the beginning of June the sun is all- powerful and Venus is completely invisible but plotting behind the scenes to force us to take our hidden needs and desires
into account. This ‘encounter with the shadow’ can produce feelings of irritation and anger. Expect irrational outbursts and surprising behaviour or feelings of willfulness, lust and desire. There may be dissatisfaction with our relationships, appearance or surroundings. Or perhaps we feel completely liberated from past commitments and responsibilities. The moon, planet of feeling and emotion, is also very powerful as she has recently asserted her power by eclipsing the sun on 21st May and is moving towards the peak of her monthly cycle. However, at the full moon on 4th June, the sun aligns with the earth casting a shadow over the moon to create a lunar eclipse and temporarily obliterating the moon’s power. Eric Francis of Planet Waves says: “It’s as though a month of experience is packed into two hours of real time. In computer terms, it’s a full reboot of the system.” Once the moon reappears she reveals dark secrets which suddenly (rather than gradually as in the normal lunar cycle) burst into consciousness (that’s why it’s always better not to make decisions around the time of an eclipse as information often comes to light that forces us to change our plans).
ACT 2 (6TH TO 12TH JUNE) As we cope with the secrets revealed by the moon and the hidden desires revealed by Venus, and attempt to process and incorporate all this information into our waking or solar consciousness, on 6th June,
ADULT STEM CELLS are the BEST-KEPT SECRET in today’s wellness.

retrograde cycle. Those with planets between 5-9º Gemini will be most affected during this period, and as Venus is travelling alongside Jupiter, which expands anything it comes into contact with, we can expect major revelations in matters of the heart. There is a new moon in Gemini on 20th June, followed by the winter solstice on 21st June, offering us plenty of opportunity to go within and mull over the events of the past few weeks. My advice throughout this
period is to listen to your heart and follow your inner desires. You could find yourself on a completely new and unexpected path!
Venus makes a cameo appearance from the unconscious and eclipses part of the sun at 15º Gemini, stealing his limelight. Opening Pandora’s box is an apt
metaphor. This most crucial point of the drama marks a new phase of insight or action. Those with planets between 11-19º Gemini will be most affected. So the sun eclipses Venus, then the
moon eclipses the sun, then the earth’s shadow eclipses the moon and finally Venus eclipses the sun. Who will win? The rational mind (sun), the open heart (Venus) or the gut instinct (moon)? These players are equally powerful – we need to get them working as a team!
ACT 3 (13THJUNE TO EARLY JULY) About a week later, on 13th June, Venus begins her phase as Morning Star, rising ahead of the sun and showing her brighter, lighter, more loving side. She turns direct and starts moving forwards again on 28th June at 7º Gemini, completing her

A VENUS RETROGRADE STORY It’s all very well to track the movements of planets and stars, but as regular readers of this column will know, I am always interested to see how these planetary energies play out on an earthly plane. Venus doesn’t just rule love, she’s also the planet associated with money and wealth and when Venus travels direct she displays her good side - love, beauty, harmony, art, wealth and abundance. But when Venus is retrograde her shadow side is revealed, including secret love, hidden motives and the way people use charm, money and relationships to serve their own purposes. I came across a classic Venus retrograde story this week in Richard Willingham’s article in ‘The Age’ on May 16th. The independent political organisation
GetUp have raised funds for a TV commercial designed to expose the fact that the family-friendly supermarket chains Coles and Woolworths own more high level poker machines than the top five
