Astrology for Saturday, 27 June 2020:

Today is a busy day in the skies. The Moon in Virgo moves through oppositions to Neptune and Mars in Pisces and trines to Pluto and Jupiter in Capricorn before ingressing into Libra. We may find ourselves in conflict between our dreams and aspirations and the material realities and resources that are available to us. We may be dreaming of a better world, but uncertain as to the actions we need to take in order to bring that world into being. As we dream into the future, remember that we carry power and wisdom from throughout long histories of struggle. As Tricia Hersey offers on For the Wild podcast, “We need to understand that there is spiritual work that has been done for us behind the scenes that can help move movement work forward, that isn’t going to be us killing ourselves and working eighty-hour weeks and re-continuing to traumatize each other by copying white supremacist work culture … There is work that has been done already for us behind the scenes that we can tap into.” As the Moon moves into Libra—with reception from Venus in Gemini—we turn toward cooperation and collaboration, moving with others in ways that take care of everybody’s needs. The Moon moves through a trine with Saturn retrograde in Aquarius, reminding us to slow down and review, because the work of justice unfolds across generations. Finally, Mars ingresses into its domicile Aries, where it will remain until January 6, 2021. Mars’ time in Aries is a major part of the story of 2020, activating the parts of our charts occupied by Aries, and equipping us with the resources we need in order to sustain ongoing struggle.
