Astrological Insights: June 3 - 9, 2024
Gemini: Here, There, and Everywhere
Ever since Megan Skinner and I started preparing for the June episode of our *So Divine! podcast, I’ve had my eyes on this week and the invitation for conversations and communication that it offers. The reason being: there’s an abundance of astro action taking place in quick-witted Gemini, the sign that inspires us to operate from curiosity and observation, and to seek answers to questions, big and small.
This begins on Monday when messenger Mercury enters Gemini, its home-turf sign. Soon after, it makes a flowing connection to regenerative Pluto, encouraging us to dig a bit deeper when it comes to sourcing just what it is that we want to say and express.
Gemini is the sign of the twins, pointing us towards the benefit of multiplicity and variety, and things that come in pairs. So it seems fitting that on Tuesday, we’ve got a duo of striking alignments happening in this sign, one that encourages an interest in solving puzzles, doing research, and honoring our need-to-know nature.
The first is the meet up between Mercury and expansive Jupiter, which fills our day with an enthusiasm for sharing and discovering facts and figures. Think big: envision the future and what it is that you would like to create. And then, work backwards to understand strategies that will help you to forge correspondences, classes and/or communiqués that will allow others to benefit from your knowledge and perspective.
That same day, we have the Sun/Venus Conjunction. Also referred to as the Venus cazimi, it brings beauty, sociability, and pleasure into the mix, while also encouraging us to discover novel ways to connect to who and what we love. We can access clarity about what we deem to have value as well as ways that we can further treasure our own worth.
All this leads to Thursday’s Gemini New Moon, an annual lunation that can seed new beginnings when it comes to writing, speaking, design, and education. Considering all you’ve learned this week so far, see how it’s informing an intention you would like to make, perhaps a project to which you’d like to dedicate yourself.
Given that Saturn ties into this New Moon, it gives the moment a feeling of additional gravity, a sense that words matter, that talk isn’t cheap, and that great creative acts can be born out of conversations. Follow Saturn’s lead and see how going slow, giving yourself more space, and playing the long game is not only a sure-fire way to reduce stress but also one that lends more scaffolding and support to structures that you envision bringing into form.
Wishing you a week of insight and inspiration.

Last week, the official beginning of my Saturn Return, coincided with my receiving my certificate as a Systemic Constellations Facilitator after completing the 15-month Seeing with Your Heart Alchemical Constellations Training Program, an experience that was truly transformative. I am exceptionally grateful to my very wise teachers, Emily Blefeld and Dan Cohen, as well as those I walked this path with, a most heart-centered community, many of whom have been treasured friends.
While I have been weaving family constellations into my one-on-one sessions now for a while, at our final retreat I had the opportunity—with the assistance of Emily and Dan—to facilitate a group astrology-informed constellation for a friend/colleague that was nothing short of magical.
I further see the beautiful and powerful ways that astrology and family constellations can weave together to unearth deep awareness and healing. Since my retreat, I have been working on designing new package offerings that thread them together. I’m excited to share these with you soon.
Looking to access personalized astrological and self-care insights to help you understand your unique self and feel more empowered to navigate the now? If so, I’d love to do an astrology reading—which I call a Stellar Guidance Session—with you.
