A Week of Mental Insight & Imagination
June 2 - 8, 2025
It’s been a spacious week, with the Moon shifting from her new phase to a gentle crescent of emerging light. Beneath the Gemini Sun, this has been a time to detach—to observe and gently unravel connections already beginning to dissolve.
In my own life, there was a quiet yet symbolic unraveling: we finally let go of a long-held, grandfathered family phone plan that had lasted over 15 years, as each of us moved to our own accounts—a much overdue cutting of the cord. I also came down with an inner ear infection that left me nauseous with movement, forcing me into stillness, away from sound and distraction. Spaciousness of mind, indeed. (I’ll write more about that on Substack.)
Starting Monday night, we shift into the energy of the first quarter Moon. With the Gemini Sun illuminating this phase, our mental energies stir—ideas spark, connections form, and curiosity leads the way. Yet, Mercury—the ruler of this solar season—is still hidden beneath the rays of the Sun, in a more internal and intuitive phase of its synodic journey.
Early in the week, any movement or initiation may emerge from deep, soul-sourced places. Our minds remain in the roots of things until Wednesday evening. Then, from Thursday through Sunday evening, Mercury rises from under the beams—returning with renewed strength, creative clarity, and a bit of theatrical flair. On Thursday evening, Mercury will square the lunar nodes at their north bend, a trajectory that invites us once again into the depths—into life’s roots—where intuition and instinct guide us.
Thursday holds a bright window for Mercury—boisterous, expressive, and eager to engage. It’s a wonderful day to speak from the heart, to think out loud, and to participate in life’s drama with openness and verve. With Mars offering a supportive sextile, the atmosphere is charged for forward movement and inspired action.
By Sunday evening, Mercury will enter Cancer for the remainder of the season, drawing our mental attention inward—toward the emotional body, the imagination, the sanctuary of inner life. Let your mind turn to matters of home, family, memory, and soul-level connection. You may feel drawn to tend to emotional truths, create cozy environments, or simply notice how tender and enchanted your inner world can become.
Mercury is in the roots of life (minus a window on Thursday) this week—both symbolically and astrologically. Use this time to imagine deeply, to align your mind with soul purpose, and to listen inwardly. Though the first quarter Moon invites growth and motion, the movements may be quiet, domestic, and foundational—focused on building safety, insight, and connection from the inside out.
The Week in Transits
Venus moves to Taurus
Thursday, June 5th at 10:42 pm MT
The planet of beauty, love, and justice moves to one of her home signs in Taurus. This is the goddess in all of her earthly splendor.
Get out into nature to reconnect with your essence and inner nature. Take pleasure in the sounds of spring, the fresh colors and aliveness of things, in the colors and flavors coming out of the earth.
Tap into your Lover archetype by beautifying life and yourself. A new spring top, a nude lip gloss, a produce-heavy smorgasboard of nibbles over a savoured glass of wine, bare feet on the earth, an overdue massage, and your favorite music humming in the background of a patio night with a love.
Take in the expressiveness of Gemini Season with a slow, sensual adoration of all that life has to offer.
Mercury Conjunct Jupiter
Sunday, June 8th, 2:11 pm MT
When two planets meet up, a new synodic cycle is set in motion. It’s a face-to-face meeting where these planets agree to some kind of shared contract.
Mercury brings ideas, connections, and movement to the table. Jupiter brings vision, expansion, and hope. In the last degree of Gemini, this has to do with connection, community, and mental health.
This is more Mercury’s territory as this planet rules Gemini, but Jupiter is on board to bring mental expansion and new hope to our minds and communities.
Make new inner wishes on Sunday around how you want to push your mental boundaries, explore new communities, and open new doors of connection toward those who think and believe in similar ways, or ways that expand and push your concepts of life.
Both planets will move into Cancer in the following day, quickly seeking depth and fertility for what their agreement will cook up over the next year.
