Astrology of the Week
Astrology of the
Week
16 ~ 22 June 2025
Feel it. Name it. Act on it. This week has drive, emotion, idealism, hard limits, with a focus on emotional maturity, action, results, safety. We are being asked to step up with courage, clarity, and the willingness to grow without losing our softness. Be more pragmatic and assertive in matters of business, responsibility, and diligence. Put actions behind the words by digging deep into our emotional state and translating that into tangible action. Don’t fall for illusions. Don’t react out of fear. Don’t wait for someone to rescue us from our own indecision.
We continue to feel the effects of the Mars-Uranus square – seeking to liberate us from old ego-based reactivity and patterns of resistance – and longer term Jupiter-Saturn square – a reality check, helping us gain clarity on what we believe in, what we are willing to take a stand for, and what actions best represent us — from last week-end. As the tension of these two aspects eases, we start to feel a greater sense of freedom in our choices.
MARS IN VIRGO (17 June ~ 06 August)
Refine, Repair, and Realign
Industrious, organised, shrewd, hypercritical. Details, habits, systems, efficiency, and the sacred maintenance of life – treat every day and action as a sacred ritual. There’s a strong desire to see practical results for our efforts. Do what’s necessary, not what’s flashy. Move with intention, not in tension. It’s not about rushing – taking our time will pay off in the long run. It’s about being intentional and getting it right the first time. Areas where we feel held back or put down require us to use our head instead of our anger. The warrior becomes the healer, not through grand battles, but through devotion to what is useful, ethical, and real. There’s a growing urge to champion women's rights, along with the rights of anyone else who feels ignored, oppressed, or disenfranchised.
Don’t weaponise perfectionism. No one wants to be micromanaged Judgement and impatience may rise around inefficiency, obsession over details, fixing what no one asked us to fix. Anything left unkept or neglected may begin to break down if we haven’t been paying attention to the small signs. Be careful of spending so much time on the little things that you miss the bigger picture. Overworking, overthinking, or trying to control every outcome can cause nervous exhaustion, frustration, or burnout.
JUPITER SQUARE NEPTUNE (Wednesday)
Delusional optimism, magical thinking, a questioning of faith, moral superiority, disappointments, delusions, emotional overcommitment. A desire to feel safe can lead us to over-idealise a situation. It may be difficult to establish boundaries. Good intentions abound, but reality is foggy. Are we inspired or just escaping ? Keep at least one foot on the ground, no matter how tempting it is to fly far, far away. Unrealistic expectations can ultimately lead to disappointment. Time to turn soft focus into sharp strategy.
SOLSTICE (Friday)
SUN IN CANCER (20 June ~ 20 July)
A shift in emotional power. A time of cellular remembrance and ancestral awakening. The rebalancing of inner polarity. Solstice reminds us to align with the cycles of Nature, to honour wherever we are on our spiritual journey, and to celebrate our source of both inner and outer light. This Solstice includes the Sun conjunct Jupiter and sextile Mars, but also square Saturn and Neptune. Optimism, risk-taking, and enthusiasm are supported, but don’t move too far too fast, or too unconsciously. Remain aware of the significance of the times we are moving through—both physically and spiritually, both individually and collectively. Logic yields to emotion, force yields to intuition, and survival makes way for the restoration of the soul.
Spiritual armour woven through softness. Themes of home, family, security, reflection, intuition, nostalgia, emotional sensitivity. Being warm and vulnerable can be one of the greatest acts of healthy defiance we can make. Hunker down with the people we hold closest to our heart, making sure they know just how much they mean to us. People may be more empathic and nurturing, but also more sensitive and moody.
MARS SEXTILE JUPITER (Sunday)
A cosmic green light for action that aligns with emotional purpose through steady, thoughtful momentum. We are encouraged to believe in ourselves and our own abilities to chase after our dreams. We are energised and eager to act but could also be temporarily blocked by circumstances that seem outside of our control. Follow intuition, because that will lead us to the best possible outcome.
SUN SQUARE SATURN (Sunday)
Restrictions, delays, obligations. If we encounter roadblocks today, remember that they’re only temporary. There can be quite a bit of push-pull before the rubber can meet the road. Check the foundation. Take a deep breath and be patient – obstacles will evaporate soon enough. Find some time for healthy, self-nurturing care, especially if feeling over-burdened by responsibilities.
