What is the overarching energy of June? What are the hotspots and major transit? We're going to find out today. I am here with a legend in astrology that almost needs no introduction. He's been practicing and teaching astrology for decades and is an absolute astrology hub. Favorite. The one, the only the Rick Merlin Levine. Welcome to the Astrology Hive podcast.

00:00:26:17 - 00:00:28:22
Amanda
I'm so happy you're here for the month of June.

00:00:28:24 - 00:00:55:03
Rick
And I cannot do that today. I'm happy to be here. and, and when it comes to working on the forecast for June. Amanda, you're my first. Normally I have a monthly. I do an a live event I do up in Seattle, you know, that's on YouTube, but. And usually, I do those. And if there's an astrology hub thing, but this time, you know, it's just afterwards, this time, here we are.

00:00:55:05 - 00:00:55:12
Rick
first.

00:00:55:13 - 00:01:00:13
Amanda
I love it, I love it, I like I like it when we're when we're. You're first. You're kind of like getting in.

00:01:00:13 - 00:01:23:24
Rick
Well, there's an advantage and disadvantage. I haven't worked. Usually it takes me a couple, 2 or 3 times through it to I really get a sense of the month. But I'm like, I'm surprised that there's so much going on in June. and it's like when April happened. And when you look forward to the Jupiter Uranus conjunction and the eclipses and, and Pluto stuff and and wow, this is the month of the year.

00:01:23:24 - 00:01:40:20
Rick
And then May wow. May is like as big as Pluto is. I mean, that's because Pluto is big as April and we're still, you know, it's like and now we look forward to June and there's really no let up. I mean, there's some really big stuff happening in June.

00:01:40:22 - 00:01:49:02
Amanda
cannot wait to hear all about it. Let's start with this. Jupiter and Mercury trine Pluto on June 2nd and third.

00:01:49:04 - 00:02:21:24
Rick
Well, let's actually start with the fact that Jupiter takes a year to go through a sign and Jupiter has just moved into Gemini. And so we're on the first week. I mean, Jupiter has not been in Gemini for a whole week yet. And because we have Pluto, it's technically it's into retrograde. It's heading back slowly, you know, to a few months a couple of three months in to two months, plus, in, in Capricorn.

00:02:22:05 - 00:02:53:16
Rick
But the thing is, is that at the beginning of, of of the month, you know, Pluto is still, like, just barely moving. It's not I mean, it never gets to go really fast. It's really, really holding its position. And where is it holding its position? Well, it's right at the very, very beginning of Aquarius, which means that as Jupiter moves into Aquarius, it's going to immediately trine Pluto.

00:02:53:18 - 00:03:27:09
Rick
And it's already doing that on the first. It's already doing that at the end of May, but when it clicks into it, into Gemini, it is making they're trying to Pluto, which is exact on June 2nd, third. And I say that because it depends where you are on the planet. But but into that and this is where it gets really interesting, is that we have Venus changing signs and Venus changes signs so that Venus actually moves into Gemini.

00:03:27:11 - 00:03:53:15
Rick
on the very last day of of of where's my brain of May? And so we open up, we open up the month of, of June, and we have Venus in Gemini making its trine also, both of them to, to, to Pluto. And that is incredibly potent. Incredibly powerful.

00:03:53:17 - 00:03:55:17
Amanda
Why, what's what's potent?

00:03:55:20 - 00:04:18:07
Rick
Because Pluto is powerful. Pluto is. Pluto is is power. Pluto is is the is is transformation. It's depth. It's intensity. You know, and we of course, we're all talking about, about Pluto is, moves through the sign of Aquarius, which we're really at the beginning of still, you know, we got a couple of decades of that in front of us.

00:04:18:09 - 00:04:42:01
Rick
And so as, as first the sun when it moved into Gemini, it makes a drawing to Pluto and then, and then Venus in Gemini, and it makes it trying to Pluto and, and then Jupiter into Gemini, and it makes it trying to Pluto and actually, I've just been saying Venus, but it's actually on the, on on June 2nd and third, it's Mercury behind Venus.

00:04:42:03 - 00:05:07:06
Rick
I'm sorry for that. Mercury coming into Gemini which then it makes it's trying to to to Pluto also. So we have the Jupiter and Mercury together making a trying to Pluto, giving us a sense of the power of Pluto in in Aquarius. I think we're going to get another bump into the future, into that sense of what's coming around the corner.

00:05:07:08 - 00:05:35:20
Rick
And, and in some ways, and this is the the larger swing of events is this is really a setup for what's happening over the next year or years because we just had the sun move into Gemini, trine Pluto, Venus move into Gemini, trine Pluto. Now we have Mercury and Jupiter together. Moving into Gemini on a slower note, a deeper note training Pluto and connecting us to what's hidden.

00:05:35:20 - 00:05:57:24
Rick
Coming up, Jupiter, bringing it out into the open, the optimism, the potential. And it's really a set up because starting next year, as Uranus moves from Taurus into Gemini, it's going to do the same thing, except it's going to hold that position for a couple of years. And so that's really what may is a glimpse into the future.

00:05:58:01 - 00:06:35:10
Rick
And, you know, and we're now going somewhere, you know, for a year or two, it felt like we were stuck. And then for a year or two, we kept saying, we're at the ending. In the beginning, and and things are changing, but we don't know where they're going yet. And we still we still really won't know for sure, for sure, for sure, until perhaps, maybe, October, November, December, January, when we have Election Day and we have then, Pluto having dipped back into Capricorn, then when it moves back into Aquarius in December and then the United States, at least we have an inauguration of the new president.

00:06:35:16 - 00:07:00:17
Rick
And that whole thing has its own level of craziness and power and topsy turvy everything. Every which way. I don't care what side of any political spectrum anyone is on. These are crazy times. But there's movement now, and I think these trines to Pluto are going to kind of begin to show what some of that movement is, even though I don't think it's going to be fully resolved until later in the year.

00:07:00:19 - 00:07:08:21
Amanda
okay. Did you get that was so good. Did you say that next year Uranus is going to be trine Pluto?

00:07:08:23 - 00:07:10:09
Rick
Yeah, because. Because for two.

00:07:10:10 - 00:07:11:10
Amanda
Years.

00:07:11:12 - 00:07:25:07
Rick
Well, it because they go retrograde, direct retrograde, direct them. it's on. And this is so important because you see from a larger perspective remember the 1960s was Uranus Pluto conjoined?

00:07:25:09 - 00:07:25:20
Amanda
Okay.

00:07:25:20 - 00:07:50:21
Rick
That was the that was the defining thing of the 60s. And it was impactful from the beginning of the 60s all the way through the early 70s. And then when Uranus squared Pluto exactly be 2020 between 2012 and 2015. But really it was the entire 2020s. You had all of the 60s back in our faces again. You know, I mean, sex, drugs and rock n roll.

00:07:50:21 - 00:08:11:06
Rick
Well, no, not necessarily those things, but civil rights. You know, we had Ferguson, Missouri, and George Floyd and we had and we and we had students on the streets. We had occupy, you know, Wall Street, we had the Arab Spring, we had Occupy Madison, Wisconsin. I mean, you know, it was again happening all over Tunisia and so on.

00:08:11:08 - 00:08:37:14
Rick
And then we had, the whole, you know, what was the rise of feminism in the mid 60s? that second wave, we now had gay marriage and transgender and gender fluidity all over again. And we had I mean, it's all those issues that were in the 60s during the Uranus-pluto square of the 2020s to our 20, I'm sorry, 20 tens, 2012 to 2015.

00:08:37:14 - 00:09:08:21
Rick
Exactly. They were all in our face again. Now in 2025, six, seven, eight. they're going to be making their first harmonious trine since the conjunction, the seed period. Think of it like a new moon. The conjunction of Uranus and Pluto. And I've been saying this for a while now, but my sense is that it's like if you take a metal like like tin a, it's bendable, but it's brittle.

00:09:08:23 - 00:09:42:22
Rick
If you take a metal like copper, it's malleable and beautiful, but you can't use it for something functional other than art because it doesn't hold its shape. But when you melt tin and copper together, when it cures, it becomes bronze, which was important enough to create the bronze Age, because all of a sudden we had the ability, the technology to make things that held their shape, because once it was solidified into its alloy bronze, you couldn't you couldn't bend it anymore.

00:09:42:24 - 00:10:13:02
Rick
And that's what's going to happen in 25, 26, 27, 28, whatever it is that we're doing or not doing now is going to solidify into an alloy, and we're going to have a lot less choice then it's that's why things are so crazy now is that the choices are so great and they're swinging so widely. But that's why May is important because and June I'm sorry may and May, June and even into July.

00:10:13:02 - 00:10:25:08
Rick
It's so important because what we're doing now or what we don't do now, is going to have really greater impact over the 26, 25, 26, 27 oh.

00:10:25:10 - 00:10:32:06
Amanda
Wow. That is really powerful. So what? And we're literally on June 2nd still. But I need to.

00:10:32:10 - 00:10:41:21
Rick
But it defines the month because okay. Because remember Jupiter stays in Gemini the entire year. And it's trying to Pluto right at the beginning of the month.

00:10:42:00 - 00:10:42:12
Amanda
Okay.

00:10:42:15 - 00:10:43:19
Rick
Sets this in tone.

00:10:43:19 - 00:10:57:24
Amanda
It sets this is the whole tone okay. So when you're saying what we do or don't do this May, June, July, that it's a precursor year to 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and that we will know.

00:10:58:03 - 00:11:14:14
Rick
But it's not a precursor in as much as by the time we get to 26, 27, 28, things will have changed, boom, changed, and and we won't be able to undo what is unfolding. Then we can still undo it now. Whatever.

00:11:14:14 - 00:11:40:18
Amanda
Okay. Yes, yes. Okay. Thank you for clarifying that. Now, what would a person do with that information when they're making decisions right now, when they're choosing paths, when they're, you know, when they're faced with different things in their life, how do they use this information to set themselves up for when it is less malleable to be in, in a direction or a path that that feels right and aligned and all those good things.

00:11:40:20 - 00:12:09:13
Rick
Think cosmically, act locally. It's no seriously it to time to, to do what we need to do to transform hate into love. It's to get out of our old patterns based upon fears, whatever that is. So many of us are trapped, and I say so many of us, we're all included. We all have areas of our life where we're afraid, where things are going, and yet it's the fear that gets in the way.

00:12:09:15 - 00:12:56:15
Rick
you know, it's what is it that I say? It's the fear of the fall that actually creates us hitting the ground when we fall. You know, it's all illusion and, you know, and we have to act in a way that we're coming not from our fear of what some, religion, government, parent, teacher. I mean, we're being told stuff and there's no one size fits all here, but we have to we have to free ourselves from the from the chronic, from the hurtful patterns that we've had in the past so that we can act from the heart rather than the logical head, which has been tied up by things that we've learned.

00:12:56:17 - 00:13:00:10
Rick
And the things that we've learned are not necessarily the things that are true.

00:13:00:12 - 00:13:29:23
Amanda
I have chills all over my body. Breck, this is brilliant. Okay, so we have this set up. We have this glimpse into the future. we have and it's it's very potent and relevant. So paying attention to where some of these deeper fears that are sometimes hidden, where they're still running the show and doing what we can to start to shift that.

00:13:30:00 - 00:13:44:05
Amanda
Right. And then do we have some support from like, I know around the eclipses we had, Chiron was conjunct the North Node, so we had support with the Chiron themes. Do we have that coming up?

00:13:44:07 - 00:13:47:11
Rick
Well, we have support right now from these trines to Pluto.

00:13:47:11 - 00:13:48:23
Amanda
That's okay.

00:13:48:24 - 00:14:21:22
Rick
All right. and we also have, I mean, we also have support from the fear of moving into the future so fast is what's making people crazy on whatever the issues are. People have fears built up around different things. And one of the things that also happens, we're going to go from June 2nd, third jump right to the end of the month to the June 29th, because both of these events are playing throughout the entire month and on June 29th, Saturn stations retrograde.

00:14:21:24 - 00:14:45:06
Rick
What that means is that all month, Saturn, which has been pushing us into the future, inch by inch by inch by inch by inch, slow, steady, you know, it begins to slow down. And so it may feel on a deeper level where we're not getting to where we want to get to as fast. Kind of like what people often say about a mercury retrograde.

00:14:45:12 - 00:15:13:08
Rick
But this is a much deeper note. But what it's doing is it's giving us time to ingest. Maybe that's not the right word to assimilate what we've ingested, so that we can work with the energy on a larger level, because when Saturn turns direct next, it's going to make a push ahead. And again next year we have Saturn and Neptune both entering Aries.

00:15:13:10 - 00:15:37:16
Rick
And this is huge. I mean, the changes that are coming around the bend in 2627 are are greater than anything that we've seen so far in our lives, or at least in our in the last decade or so. they're really big. And all of this has been a set up for that. And part of the frustration and the fear that people have is the frustration is that it's not happening already.

00:15:37:16 - 00:15:56:11
Rick
And we don't know what's going on. And the fear is that, oh my God, this is taking us in the wrong direction, you know, and those two things, by the time we get around this bend will be wherever we are, and we'll have to deal with whatever it is we feared or were excited about.

00:15:56:13 - 00:15:57:03
Amanda
Okay.

00:15:57:05 - 00:16:08:03
Rick
And slowing down and Saturn's retrograde fade is important all month because we're getting a a sense of the, the, the heaviness, the seriousness of what's going on.

00:16:08:05 - 00:16:27:10
Amanda
I know we're here to talk about June, but you just said something that's too interesting to let it brush by. Can you give us the CliffsNotes? And I know we'll have many more opportunities to go into this wreck over the next few months and years. But why is 2026 into 2027 so important?

00:16:27:12 - 00:16:50:17
Rick
Well, and actually, I wasn't I have, just so I don't mess up the dates because I do have, I this is something I've been working with and thinking about. Well, the reason is because it's rare for the slow moving planets we're talking. Yeah. I mean, Jupiter is a year and a sign, but. But Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

00:16:50:19 - 00:17:24:14
Rick
Saturn, change your signs every two and a half years. Uranus, change your signs every seven years. Neptune changes signs every 14 years. And Pluto varies from every 15 to 30 years. It's a wide swing to pick because its orbit is so weird. Pluto is changing signs. It's not change the signs because it's changing signs because it's still at that comfortable point where it's been going back and forth between Capricorn and Aquarius because it moves so slowly, it it wiggles back and forth.

00:17:24:20 - 00:18:03:01
Rick
So Pluto is changing signs from the feminine Earth sign Capricorn into the masculine young Aquarius intellectual air. Saturn is changing signs. Next year, Saturn actually moves into Aries and Saturn moves. moves into Aries in May of 2025. That's next year to year from now. Neptune, also like Saturn in feminine watery Pisces, moves into Aries at the end of March of 2025.

00:18:03:02 - 00:18:50:20
Rick
Uranus, which has been an Earth feminine Yin Taurus for seven years, moves into masculine air sign Gemini in July of 2025. So we have we do we have Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto all moving from feminine. that would be soulful. Earth, Earth, water signs into masculine young fire air signs and it's huge. I've never seen those four moving so quickly together, elementary all into things that are in the same polarity.

00:18:50:22 - 00:19:26:11
Rick
And and they're going to create trines and sextile with each other like I've never seen. We can we can reserve this conversation on a deeper dive for another time. But this is huge and May is part of this. I'm sorry to keep saying. May, June is part of the set up that we've already felt from the end of May when both the sun and Venus moved into Gemini Trining Pluto in Aquarius followed at the beginning of the month by Mercury and Jupiter doing the same thing.

00:19:26:14 - 00:20:00:10
Rick
But meanwhile Saturn's going screeching the brakes holding back. Neptune is at 29 degrees of Pisces, heading right for zero Aries, but it doesn't go there. And so that energy is also like holding back. Neptune doesn't turn retrograde until next month until July, but. But Saturn and Neptune align at zero degrees of Aries. And that's incredibly potent because that's the that's the the that's the beginning of the zodiac.

00:20:00:10 - 00:20:17:19
Rick
That's the Aries point. and that alignment, is also going to be incredibly potent at zero degrees of, of Aries. again, it's astrologers all around are already saying, you know, ain't ever seen anything quite like this one.

00:20:17:24 - 00:20:20:08
Amanda
And when is that happening? Exactly.

00:20:20:10 - 00:20:30:10
Rick
the, Saturn, conjunction with, it's 2026, and I'm not seeing it here 2026 okay.

00:20:30:14 - 00:20:43:00
Amanda
So we have we have this month giving us this month, June 2024, giving us a glimpse into 2025, 2026.

00:20:43:01 - 00:20:57:24
Rick
2027, 2028. It's a big it's a big thump. It's like a it's like everything changes. By the way, the Saturn conjunct Neptune is in February 20th of 2026 year and a half down the road.

00:20:58:01 - 00:21:10:09
Amanda
Okay. And at that point, the big slow moving planets will all be moving. We'll have had moved into or will be moving into masculine fire signs.

00:21:10:11 - 00:21:12:02
Rick
Fire and air.

00:21:12:04 - 00:21:42:06
Amanda
And air, masculine fire and air. And right now they're they're meant mostly in feminine ones. Water. Okay. What's our north and earth. So this is going to shift the whole dynamic. And that's one of the reasons why you're saying right now we, we almost have a chance to get situated within ourselves. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Amazing. Okay. So let's, let's, let's, let's reel it back in and go back into June.

00:21:42:06 - 00:21:59:05
Amanda
So you just left off on the Saturn is going to be moving is going to be turning retrograde at the end of the month. Another month all month long. It's going very very very slow allowing us an opportunity to process and integrate and have a deeper level of understanding of everything that's just transpired.

00:21:59:07 - 00:22:34:15
Rick
Yeah. And, you know, I mean, there's clues out there and one of the clues is not specifically what's going on in the Middle East, although it is it's what's going on in response to that and how widely bifurcated the movement of, of of heart and of of the people's intuition of what, what's going on compared to the Saturn T and governmental structures that are keeping things in place in the status quo.

00:22:34:17 - 00:23:00:09
Rick
And what we're seeing here. And again, this is maybe a longer term discussion, and it goes back to what happened at the last time. There was a Jupiter Uranus conjunction when Pluto had first moved into Aquarius. That was 1789. when we had the first congressional session that set up the United States judicial system, it basically ratified the Constitution.

00:23:00:11 - 00:23:20:11
Rick
And it happened within a couple of weeks of the storming of the Bastille, when it was assumed that no human group could ever overtake the the monarchy that was in divinely inspired control of everything. That is. And we're right at the same tip of that right now. That's big stuff.

00:23:20:13 - 00:23:35:08
Amanda
That's big stuff. Oh my gosh. So we have just teed up like ten more episodes. If you all would like us to do some more episodes, I mean, put it in the comments, let us know. But okay, this is amazing. So we have this a really dynamic month.

00:23:35:10 - 00:23:42:15
Rick
Well, it's a really dynamic year and it's a really dynamic decade. And it's a really dynamic time to be alive.

00:23:42:17 - 00:23:47:16
Amanda
Absolutely. Okay. So anything else that we need to pay attention to specifically for June.

00:23:47:21 - 00:24:16:24
Rick
Yeah. well, obviously we, we have, the regular new moons and full moons, and I know that you'll be covering those in the inner circle, you know, for those people there. but the, the, the the new moon in Gemini is very potent because it is squaring Saturn, and that's setting up that whole Saturn. The reality of, you know, the, the, the, nothing we do seems to be good enough.

00:24:17:01 - 00:24:48:10
Rick
You know, that Saturn square sun, Saturn square moon is like the feeling like we're not accomplishing what we need to accomplish that Saturn Authority is blocking our light. And in fact, that, that new moon in Gemini is also a square and a half to Pluto, which is a similar energy that, you know, it's a tough it's a tough, New moon, I think, even though we're getting some support still from that Jupiter training Pluto that I talked about earlier, that's the good news.

00:24:48:12 - 00:24:58:19
Rick
But it's still we're going to be we're going to be distracted by the Gemini new moon and feel like what we're doing isn't necessarily working the way we think it should.

00:24:58:24 - 00:25:10:21
Amanda
And if people are feeling blocked by this attorney and sort of structures, is that just information that they, they just to be aware of, or is there actually something to do about that?

00:25:11:02 - 00:25:31:01
Rick
Is that what there is to do about it is to not hit the gas pedal so hard that you go off the road and not run your head into the wall again, so that you break your head, because the changes that are occurring are too big for us to just go crashing through them with good intentions and an accelerator pedal.

00:25:31:03 - 00:25:32:16
Amanda
okay, so have patience.

00:25:32:22 - 00:25:59:21
Rick
And this feeds into the next important thing of the month, which is Mars makes a square to Pluto on June 11th. Mars moving, out of Aries, where it's been for a bit into Taurus. And because when any planet changes signs right now, it's going to make an aspect with Pluto at the very beginning of Aquarius. And so Mars moving into Taurus is going to square Pluto.

00:25:59:23 - 00:26:25:13
Rick
And this is not easy. Remember, it was in fact Mars squaring Pluto from the other side back in October. That was the guys, or the, Hamas's, you know, attack on, on on the, Israeli settlements. And, and when you look at the hard aspects to Pluto and especially Mars and Pluto, you know, they're like Mars.

00:26:25:15 - 00:26:49:14
Rick
I always say that Mars starts to fights and Pluto finishes them, you know, because Mars and and bars was the ancient ruler of Scorpio. And Pluto kind of came in and took over, so to speak, as Pluto does. But this square between Mars and Pluto, I think we will see another round of, you know, I mean, how can things get worse from that standpoint?

00:26:49:14 - 00:27:22:05
Rick
But whether it's that area, specifically, but it's it's a hot spot time. And we're talking June 11th when Mars makes that exact square root of Pluto, it'll be something to put on the map to watch and see what unfolds. But this is a really good time to not be afraid to confront the power Pluto, but not necessarily do it because, and not necessarily do it in a way that causes us to go off the road where we have to keep in mind here that we're playing a long haul game.

00:27:22:07 - 00:27:43:21
Rick
You know, it's like in, in, in chess, it's sometimes it's really good to not attack when something that looks like we can make a gain, because then strategically, we might end up losing the game itself, for some immediate thing. So I think that's the thing to keep in mind. Around the 11th when Mars squares Pluto.

00:27:44:00 - 00:28:04:17
Amanda
I feel like we've been saying that for a while, that actually since 2020 is we're playing a long game, but it sounds like it's absolutely true that we're in a we're in a decade where that is just the truth. So yeah, preserve our energy. Don't die before the battle even happens. You know, all those kinds of things.

00:28:04:22 - 00:28:27:23
Rick
Now I think we get we get a little respite in some way, at least on the surface, because as we reach the middle of June, Venus, Mercury and the sun all move from Gemini into cancer. You know, the sun is the last that does that. On the first day of summer, on the on the summer solstice in the north, the winter solstice, you know, down under.

00:28:28:00 - 00:28:54:10
Rick
but as these planets move one by one into cancer, I think it softens the energy. It pulls it in, it. It can certainly make us, passive aggressive in some way. But on a deeper level, it takes it it slows down the energy enough. And again, we have Saturn slowing down toward its retrograde at the same time.

00:28:54:12 - 00:29:25:06
Rick
and into this, we also then have on the 21st the Capricorn full moon. And so a combination of all of this energy, you know, the Capricorn full moon really happens on the same day as the, summer solstice because the moon moves into cancer. and as it moves into cancer, it's going to quincunx Pluto, as you know, again, everything makes aspects to Pluto as it changes signs because Pluto is at the beginning of a sign.

00:29:25:06 - 00:30:01:12
Rick
Aquarius. But as the moon moves into, into Capricorn, it opposes the sun in in cancer. And so we have this kind of polarity of our feeling, our home, our homeland, our heart, the cancerian, self-protective, the cautious energy emotionally that we've already begun to feel as Mercury and Venus, are Venus and Mercury in that order? moved into cancer on the 16th and 18th, and now we have the full moon on the 21st of June.

00:30:01:14 - 00:30:33:02
Rick
And so I think we're really stretched. We're feeling that polarity, and we're feeling it because we're not willing to take the lie anymore. And that lie may come from strange places, not just the quote, quote, the obvious place where people are saying, well, that's the lie of blah, blah blah blah, but, because all of those planets, as they move from Gemini into cancer are going to all square Neptune, which is moving from Pisces into areas, but not quite getting there.

00:30:33:04 - 00:31:04:19
Rick
And so there's this whole kind of dynamic that comes out towards the middle and end of the month as those planets move from Gemini into cancer and square Neptune. It's almost like we it's like the Emperor's no clothes, not new clothes. You know, there's that feeling that we're beginning to really, really see the invisibility of what we thought was the truth and that the deceptions are still there, but we're but we're but I think that we're more seeing through them.

00:31:04:19 - 00:31:32:09
Rick
And I think that that's a big piece of as we move toward the end of the month. So, I mean, there's lots else going on, but that's the sweep of the month because as that's all unfolding, Saturn is slowing down. I mean, Saturn mid-month, you know, it reaches 19 degrees of of Pisces and, and then as it turns retrograde at the end of the month, it's still at 19 degrees of Pisces.

00:31:32:11 - 00:31:56:18
Rick
So it's, you know, even though it doesn't turn retrograde until the end of the month. you know, Saturn is at 19 degrees of Pisces, for pretty much the entire month. I mean, it starts out the month that at 18 degrees of Pisces and something, it's it's at 19 degrees of Pisces, by June 7th, eighth. And it stays in that degree the entire month.

00:31:56:20 - 00:32:09:03
Rick
And then when it turns retrograde, I mean it pretty much even though it goes retrograde, you know, the end of the month, it stays at 19 degrees of Pisces. for almost all of July.

00:32:09:06 - 00:32:15:19
Amanda
Rick, do you use the Sabian symbols like do you interpret 19 degrees and have you seen with that impact?

00:32:15:24 - 00:32:50:18
Rick
The answer is I see value in the Sabian symbols. I have so much other information that I try to incorporate. I don't I don't know them offhand, but do remember that if, if, if Saturn is at 19 degrees of Pisces for almost two months, that's the 20th degree of Pisces, not the 19th. Just like, you know, if you're in your if you're in your first year of life, you're zero years old, you know, and you remember when you hit your 30th birthday, you're now in your 31st year.

00:32:50:22 - 00:33:03:14
Rick
So you got to be careful if you're using Sabian symbols. even though Saturn is at 19, degrees of, of, Pisces throughout this whole time, that's the 20th degree.

00:33:03:16 - 00:33:07:23
Amanda
Wow. Do people know that, feel like that gets kind of glossed over?

00:33:07:24 - 00:33:11:21
Rick
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, anyone who does Sabian symbols knows that knows.

00:33:11:22 - 00:33:12:03
Amanda
To do.

00:33:12:07 - 00:33:17:24
Rick
That. But people who just pick up a book and look, they may not realize that, but that's an important piece.

00:33:18:01 - 00:33:21:15
Amanda
It is because each each degree is very distinct.

00:33:21:17 - 00:33:49:24
Rick
They are. Yes. Okay. And in symbols, I mean, I don't know how stuff works like that. Astrology I always feel comfortable with because I know how I mean, this is maybe hubris, but I know how astrology works. I know why it works. I can see the relationship. But when you when you do something like the Sabian symbols and someone just channels this stuff out of the air, there's a part of me that says, I don't know how they work, but I do know that they do.

00:33:49:24 - 00:34:14:19
Rick
I've just seen them work way too many times, consist consistently, and they're like, brilliant because of the imagery that they present. They give us a way to move away from the rational right hand, left brain into the softer, intuitive, I shouldn't say softer, because it can be very firm in its own, but into the, you know, more imagination, you know, right brain left hand.

00:34:14:23 - 00:34:35:05
Amanda
Yeah, it's a little more poetic. I mean, it's just that there's, there's yeah, there's something about it. Okay. So we have Saturn basically sitting at 19 degrees of Pisces. Both for most of June and July and moving retrograde. Is there anything you want to say specifically about Saturn retrograde? Is there anything I.

00:34:35:05 - 00:34:59:13
Rick
Would say the same thing about any planet retrograde. When it turns retrograde, and when it is retrograde, it's stronger and louder than it normally is, and Saturn is often in most people's lives, loud enough when it's not being loud because it's it's it's authority and it's stability and it's resistance and stability is good. But most people want to brush up against that authority.

00:34:59:13 - 00:35:23:13
Rick
There are some people, like those of you who have Capricorn moons, Amanda, who actually work with Saturn in a way that's pretty damn healthy and make structures just happen naturally. And then there are those of us that sometimes have a harder time with those dates and deadlines and disciplines and when Saturn goes retrograde, those things become magnified and we have to deal with them.

00:35:23:15 - 00:35:36:01
Amanda
And what how does Pisces. It's Capricorn Sun and, Venus and Mercury, not moon, Gemini moon, but, Rick. What what is it being in Pisces like?

00:35:36:01 - 00:35:51:12
Rick
How is that Saturn in Pisces? Is this is an oxymoron all by itself, right. although my my old astrology buddy Jeff Jauhar used to say that an oxymoron was a dumb Taurus.

00:35:51:14 - 00:35:53:18
Amanda
I haven't heard you say that one. That's awesome.

00:35:53:20 - 00:36:30:24
Rick
but but Saturn in Pisces is a bit oxymoronic because Saturn is creating structure and stability and and in Pisces is the, you know, is the swamp where everything gets dissolved into the cesspool of the seas of, of consciousness, and there is no physicality. So and it's interesting that Saturn in Pisces is somewhat symbolized, symbolizing the Christian, the Catholic Church, because there's the symbol of the fishes and it's how do you make stability and structure out of that, which absolutely has no, you know, boundaries, you know, God, you know.

00:36:31:01 - 00:36:36:15
Rick
And so Saturn in Pisces is is a bit you know what Zeno's paradoxes.

00:36:36:17 - 00:36:37:04
Amanda
No.

00:36:37:08 - 00:37:02:04
Rick
Okay. Zeno, some Greek person who was a mathematician, philosopher because the two of those went hand in hand. Then, basically said, if you're walking to a wall and in a certain amount of time, you go, do you go halfway to the wall, and then in the next amount of time, you go halfway to the wall and you keep going halfway to the wall.

00:37:02:06 - 00:37:04:08
Rick
You never reach the wall.

00:37:04:10 - 00:37:06:09
Amanda
okay. Interesting. Yeah. Okay.

00:37:06:09 - 00:37:11:09
Rick
That's that's Saturn in Pisces.

00:37:11:11 - 00:37:23:14
Amanda
What's interesting is that the Catholic Church actually did that. They did create structure around the infinite in a way.

00:37:23:16 - 00:37:25:10
Rick
In a way.

00:37:25:12 - 00:37:26:07
Amanda
In a way.

00:37:26:13 - 00:37:32:08
Rick
But then they said to every human being, but you can never reach there because you're a human.

00:37:32:10 - 00:37:45:10
Amanda
Right? Oh, fascinating. Oh my gosh. There you go. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Anything else you want to tell us about June? Anything else that we need to know? Because this has been a lot and has been really good.

00:37:45:12 - 00:37:53:11
Rick
No, I'm sometimes much better at forecasting the past than the future. So we can talk about June again in a month.

00:37:53:13 - 00:37:54:04
Amanda
That sounds great.

00:37:54:05 - 00:37:59:17
Rick
I could talk a lot of I could talk a lot about May and April right now. Yes. They're all yeah.

00:37:59:19 - 00:38:13:09
Amanda
Yeah, yeah, it'll be brilliant. Okay. So Rick, to me it seems like something that you said in the beginning is essentially the theme. Tell me if you agree. You said that we're getting a glimpse into the future.

00:38:13:11 - 00:38:14:05
Rick
Yeah.

00:38:14:07 - 00:38:39:24
Amanda
And it seems like that is something that if we remember throughout the month that we're getting a glimpse into the future and that we are in a very potent moment to actually, like, do something about the future. Whereas when we get to 20, 25, 26, 27, 28, we're a little more baked. And so we're still there's malleability in the energy still that we can work with.

00:38:40:01 - 00:38:57:01
Rick
Malleability is a good word. And what came to mind. And this may end up being my theme when I record my monthly, which I won't do for another couple of weeks. Andrew and I, we're recording this. Maybe I'm not supposed to say that, but we're recording this. It's we we.

00:38:57:03 - 00:38:59:10
Amanda
Want to give people more time with the forecast. This.

00:38:59:13 - 00:38:59:23
Rick
No.

00:39:00:00 - 00:39:00:18
Amanda
Okay.

00:39:00:20 - 00:39:09:19
Rick
But what's come to mind is one of my favorite authors. Tom Robbins wrote a book called Skinny Legs and all.

00:39:09:21 - 00:39:12:10
Amanda
Okay. And these are better titles.

00:39:12:12 - 00:39:31:21
Rick
But his best books. Yeah. And and in it instead of having chapters, there's basically, seven sections to the book because it's based upon, the dance of Ptolemy. That was the dance of Seven Veils.

00:39:31:23 - 00:39:32:20
Amanda


00:39:32:22 - 00:40:04:21
Rick
And in each of the acts of the dance, another veil was dropped. And it's almost like what we're getting as this glimpse of the future. We're getting another veil dropped. But the book title is at the dropping of the Seventh Veil. There she was, skinny legs and all. Oh, wow. wow. So in some way, you know, in some way.

00:40:04:21 - 00:40:23:03
Rick
This is Tom Robbins book. The concept of something this glimpse of the future is we're seeing it, and it may not be as pretty and as nice and as wonderful and as enticing and as attractive, but it's what is their skinny legs and all.

00:40:23:09 - 00:40:41:23
Amanda
Well, and it's also enjoy the process. You know, if we're so focused on some sort of destination, then yeah, we might be disappointed about the skinny legs. But if we're actually just there's part of that anticipation and the, the mystery of it. And so enjoying that would would be a good idea for us.

00:40:42:00 - 00:40:42:18
Rick
Yeah.

00:40:42:20 - 00:40:49:16
Amanda
Always. Right okay. Rick, you are amazing. A few things, all of you out there.

00:40:49:18 - 00:40:52:21
Rick
So are you I mean, you are amazing.

00:40:52:23 - 00:41:19:22
Amanda
It's so much fun to have you on every time you come on. I'm just like, oh, Rick, you're like this. Yeah. You're just you're amazing. If you have not subscribed to our podcast yet, please do it now. and then also if you like learning from Rick, we have a whole suite of courses from Rick Levine. We'll put the links in the show notes, but he does takes you from the beginning all the way through to what's kind of like a level three.

00:41:19:22 - 00:41:22:21
Amanda
But it's just it's just layers and layers and layers of.

00:41:22:22 - 00:41:29:05
Rick
And I'm so excited about being the guide for the inner circle for the month of September. I should just say yes. Yes. Oh my.

00:41:29:05 - 00:41:44:09
Amanda
Gosh. Yes yes yes. Let's talk about that too. So we're going to drop the links for his whole entire foundation suite. But then also he is going to be the inner circle astrologer for September. This is going to be amazing. And I know that you're going to be teaching a mastery class on Mercury.

00:41:44:11 - 00:41:45:11
Rick
yeah.

00:41:45:13 - 00:41:48:03
Amanda
Yeah. Can you tell us why did you choose Mercury?

00:41:48:08 - 00:42:11:19
Rick
Well, be well, because it's it's the Virgo time of year. You know, that we're that we're coming out of really. You know, that's but but also because Mercury is often passed off as a lightweight, you know. Oh it's clever. It's, you know, it's witty into and yet Mercury in the to the in the Greek world Mercury was a psycho pump.

00:42:11:23 - 00:42:38:04
Rick
Mercury was the dude who guide souls through the underworld. You know from here to there, you know, across the river Styx. And so, you know, so Mercury doesn't get the respect that that sometimes we modernas, you know, kind of, you know, toss. And I would also say, I would be remiss to say that if people want more, that I'm teaching a two week retreat in Go Away India, at the end of November.

00:42:38:09 - 00:42:43:11
Rick
Then they can find out about that by sending me an email or you know what?

00:42:43:11 - 00:42:48:15
Amanda
We can put your link in the show notes. Just make sure we have it. Well, we'll put that in the show notes. Perfect.

00:42:48:15 - 00:43:06:03
Rick
And that will sell. That will sell out. It's limited to 35 people. It's at an R you Vedic healing spa in the south end of Goa. It's magical. I love teaching at this place and and and. Yeah, so we're looking at filling that up again and having a great time again. It's a magical thing every year. Yeah.

00:43:06:04 - 00:43:17:01
Amanda
Let's fill it. Astrology havers go to India. That's going to be amazing with Rick. And anytime people come back from your retreats Rick, they are raving about it. So that's awesome. So a couple links and.

00:43:17:01 - 00:43:19:11
Rick
We're having a lot of money to say good things, you know.

00:43:19:13 - 00:43:44:14
Amanda
Well it's working okay. So we're going to put these links in the show notes. There's astrology have.com/join expand which is where you can have Rick as one of your mastery class teachers, one of your guides. You'll have different astrologers each month. We have Christopher Rainstorm right now. And then there's going to be some other astrologers that you'll have that are amazing, and then you'll get to Rick in September.

00:43:44:16 - 00:44:03:03
Amanda
if you want to study in the Astrology Foundation's suite of courses that we have with Rick Levine, you can go to astrology head.com/study with Rick. I liked the Rick Bundle one. But and then we're going to put the link, do you know off the top of your head what your link for your retreat.

00:44:03:03 - 00:44:07:15
Rick
Is it what heaven and earth workshops or one word.com heaven, heaven.

00:44:07:15 - 00:44:30:16
Amanda
And Earth workshops. I love it, okay. And, if you want us to come back and do some deep dives on some of these topics, let us know. So we we could go deeper on some of the the Uranus for two years was trying Pluto. Is that right? That's an interesting one. Then we have this whole time period 2025 to 2028, which is also fascinating.

00:44:30:16 - 00:44:45:08
Amanda
So we can go into some more deep dives. Let us know in the comments if you would like that. And in the meantime, thank you so much for being here, everyone. Thank you for being a part of our community. Thank you for making astrology a part of your life. We will catch you on the next episode. Do you want to say your what?

00:44:45:08 - 00:44:48:14
Amanda
Your sign off? Rick.

00:44:48:16 - 00:44:55:21
Rick
Think cosmically because that's what we do as astrologers and act locally because that's what we do as humans.

00:44:55:21 - 00:44:59:15
Amanda
Voila! There you have it. Can't wait to catch you all in the next episode. Take care.
