We are ending the month of Gemini, the Twins (May 20-June 20) and entering that of Cancer, the Crab (June 21-July 21), as of Saturday the 20th at 2:45p PT | 5:45p ET | 9:45p UT.
By one way of judging the difficulty or smoothness of a month (with 1.00 equaling an exact balance of hard to easy aspects), Gemini was 1.20 and Cancer shall be 1.80. It's possible that the Crab month will be a better vacation month, also, than Leo (July 22-August 21) because the rating for the Lion drops back to .86. Virgo (August 22-September 21) looks good at 2.33, though there are some mitigating factors. It might be especially good for family-type get-togethers. (I am not directly predicting anything about the pandemic).
The ill-at-ease-ness of the Gemini month was discussed in last weekend's report, as a symptom of Mars plus Neptune in a square with Venus plus the sun. It has been a tough period for most, though overcoming challenges could have been a thrill. The Crab (sweet little creature) month could be a treat by contrast, with Venus in a sextile aspect with Mars as well as Saturn. Mars continues a wider-range square with the sun and a tight one with Mercury. Some of the rancor of the ending month could continue because Mercury-square-Mars is known as a cruel aspect at its worst. People feel irritated and want to attack the cause of the irritation. We know how this could come out in police and racial matters. We know how it could come out in presidential politics. At best, people will feel like attacking genuine abuses. At worst, they will be combative, fault-finding and sharp-tongued, assuming the worst of their opponents whether justified or not. This could be "pure cussedness" or "unvarying contrariety" (words of C. E. O. Carter, superb astrologer).
But let's not forget Venus sextile Mars. This will smooth things. People will find something to like or love in one another, whether strangers or favorites. So we might have spirited debate accompanied by goodwill toward the opponent.
Personal love, within or outside relationships, should flourish much more than in the previous month. There is something reliable and true-blue about those to whom you are drawn.
I believe presidential politics, which has been in a cocoon, will become more outward and popular, for example that Joe Biden will emerge from his basement and be more eager to share his opinions. We know that Donald Trump is wanting debates and is having his first rally on the very day (maybe hour) this Crab month begins. (He has Venus and Saturn in that sign). I believe that both candidates will feel more alive and interested in the campaign, and so will the public.
Mars square Mercury, on the bright side, can be a challenge to technical skills and a joy in rising to the occasion, learning new things or improving old skills in order to advance one's standing in a job, project or profession. Rather than attack a competitor, one boosts one's skill and status to compete better. This will be happening. It may seem that there is no end to the process of learning or improving, yet it becomes evident that one's unique skills will do better than anyone else's in their particular niche. And so it all seems worthwhile.
Yes, Mercury is retrograde (through July 12) and the Dark or Slow Hermetic Epoch lasts throughout this month (until July 26). That is a recommendation to refrain from getting ahead of oneself. Old business, old things that need to be completed, should be at the top of one's list. Utterly new things could trip one up. Exploring things in one's mind, researching them a little, can be good, but implementing them too early is a pitfall. Being cautious and sticking with one's already-chosen forte is wise. The same could apply to relationships and love-attachments, though in that area anything can happen. Often old and new contacts mingle in surprising ways.
There will be hospitality and kindness. Appreciation of the arts and music will flourish. Many will be willing to give to the downtrodden or aid them some way. There may well be a second round of stimulus payments. Or if not, other expedients will help those seriously in need. Here is a symbol from Charubel for two planets' positions this month: "A man struggling in a lake. A lifebuoy is thrown to him by someone witnessing his position. Finally he is saved." This denotes "trouble through debt" and near-bankruptcy, but "finally by some unlooked-for 'godsend' he or she is delivered." So may it be.
Personal finances may work out well, one way or another. People are likely to work at keeping accurate accounts and budgets. This year income tax forms are due July 15, so we have the symbol "A large office and a man writing in a large book resembling a ledger." (Turbotax was unknown to Charubel!)
The planets are working with us this month as long as we use the good judgment with which we have been endowed.
