Transcript

Laura: All right, everyone. Welcome back to The Astrology Hub Podcast. My name is Laura. I am the head of operations here at Astrology Hub and your host for today's show. I'm here with another episode with Rick Levine for our May or June forecast. We're in June now. Um, so Rick, welcome back to the show.

Rick: Well, thank you. And I—my brain is still on March, April, and May. I mean, how did it get to be June? Before we know it, it's going to be July and August, and time is like in a rocket ship.

Laura: Yes, it absolutely feels that way over here. I feel like I didn't even experience April. It went like that. So, and I know you've been busy, Rick. You did Shifts Happen—happened since we last spoke—and NORWAC. So you've been really, really busy. That makes it go by faster.

Rick: All, all, all of that, yes.

Laura: Mm-hmm. So last time you were here, you were joined by Steve Judd, uh, and Amanda hosted the May forecast, and you guys talked about May. Well, Steve said it was quieter bumps in the road. You disagreed with that pretty much off the bat. Now, we're recording this on May 26th. Uh, how does May look to you in hindsight? Do you still stand by that it wasn't quiet?

Mars Square Pluto May 2026: What Actually Happened

Rick: Well, um, y- well, I stand by everything I've ever said, even if I was wrong. It's one of the advantages of having Gemini rising. Um, no, it, it, May has been, you know, bumpy in a way that things keep coming out and altering our perceptions. And one of the things just in, in, with respect to, to Steve, um, one of the things that we both talked about was—one of the bumpy parts of May was going to be toward the end.

And in fact, we talked about the Mars squaring Pluto, which… and you said we're recording this on the 26th. On the 25th, that was exact. And, um, and there was another whole bump. Even though everyone's talking about solutions of peace, solutions of peace, there was another whole wave of military action, um, around that Mars square Pluto—almost like someone couldn't keep their, you know, finger off the proverbial trigger, sad as that is.

But that's what Mars-Pluto often is. So, uh, y- yeah, I, I think that, you know—w- w- w- we are on a trajectory now, and I still think that it's hard to know which way this, uh, trajectory is going to end up going, but there's movement, and we can feel movement, we can sense movement.

Um, I think that ever since, uh, Uranus moved into Gemini, this is part of why the pace of everything just feels so overwhelmingly fast that it's blip, another month, blip, another month.

Uranus-Pluto Trine: The Big Turning Point

Rick: And, um, and, and, you know, Uranus is moving into—at the beginning of the month on, on June 1st, um, Uranus is, um, moving into that trine with, with Pluto. Um, and so we're getting closer and, and closer to, to that. Um, and, and I, and I think that there's that sense. In fact, the Uranus-Pluto trine is now pushing three degrees, you know, nearing three degrees of orb.

And through June, um, in, in fact, by the, um, by the end of June, that Uranus-Pluto trine is gonna be down to about one and a half degrees away from being exact. It'll be exact, um, on July 19th, which, as we began talking about this last summer and last, you know, last autumn, seemed so far away, and, you know, now it's next month.

And, um, this is the big turning point, and it's not so much that there's gonna be an event that day—there may very well be—but it's really we're coming around a very large, very, very large curve. I mean, a large enough curve that we're talking maybe a once-in-the-history-of-a-species curve. Um, Steve and I both talked about how big this curve is.

I mean, the fact that a Saturn-Neptune conjunction at zero Aries hasn't happened for a quarter of a precession cycle. The precession cycle's 26,000 years. You know, the last time that occurred, w- you know, was 6,000 years ago. And that coupled, coupled with this c-, you know, intense trine of Uranus to Pluto with Neptune at the exact midpoint—and Jupiter, we'll talk about Jupiter as this month evolves, um, because that's beginning to move into, uh, new spaces.

And so, yeah, these are exciting times, and yet they're so big that even the people who are in control, even the people that think they're in charge, even the people that we think are in charge, um, I think everyone's kinda lost the plot 'cause we've never been here before.

Laura: Totally. I remember back, I think it was October, you talked about you can't see around the bend. It's like too sharp of a bend that we can't see around. Would you say that we're, like, nearing the end of that bend and being able to see around it-ish?

Seeing Around the Bend: What This Summer Means

Rick: Y- y- y- yes, but—yes and. Um, I, I, I think that there are many phases as we go around the bend of getting glimpses, more glimpses of the future, more and more. Um, and I think this summer is, is a big piece of it.

But remember the Uranus-Neptune… y- the Uranus-Pluto trine, which is sitting behind all of this. And remember, this goes back to the 1960s when Uranus and Pluto were conjunct. That's like a new moon. And then they were square around the 20- 2010s, 2012 to 2015.

And all the events of the, uh, 1960s—you know, sex, drugs, rock and roll, gender equality, feminism, um, civil rights, uh, uh, racial equality, power structure, um, gender issues, um, uh, uh, the use of legalized marijuana and dr- I mean, all these things from the '60s when that square occurred from 20—um, let's say it was exact during the 2012 to 2015 time.

Now we're coming up to a time where, for the first time after the 1960s, Uranus and Pluto are trining, and so there's a flow of some of that energy. What was crazy, what was conspiratorial, what was bizarre, what was impossible is… what was revolutionary, what was, you know, was radical, is now becoming normalized.

In the olden days when the clipper ships were going from New York to San Francisco, they had to go… there was no Panama Canal. They had to go all the way down around the tip of South America, Tierra del Fuego. Tierra del Fuego, the Land of Fire, was called that because it was really intense. Many people don't realize that the Pacific Ocean is actually a few feet higher than the Atlantic Ocean,

Laura: Hmm.

Rick: and the clipper ships had to navigate that incredible, stormy, uh, difficult process of going around the bend, around the Horn. And they couldn't take… sometimes it would take just a few days, but sometimes it would actually take weeks or even a month to make that passage where they would try, they would get stormed, blown back. They would try again.

They would try different ways, and they couldn't take their, their bearings, their sightings on where they were going until they were around the bend because the bend was so over-encompassing and, and overwhelming, uh, all their attention. It was what Paul Tillich, the theologian, called ultimate concern.

W- I can't look at the future. I'm dealing with the urgency of this moment, and that's where we've been. And, and I think that beginning with this summer, as we come around the bend, we're beginning to get glimpses. We're, we're coming around the bend.

But that Uranus-Pluto trine, the first one coming to exactness in mid-July around the 17th, 18th, 19th of, of July, that's gonna occur five times by the retrograde direct, retrograde direct—five times between July of 2026 and the spring of 2028. So that's gonna be the larger bend, but I think that it's gonna begin to be, um, more seated in what it is that, that's going on. And I think that May, um, in many ways and June in many ways is aiming us toward, um, this, what could be a storm. It's, I mean, we're already in it, but also could be glimpses of, of what we're gonna get as we move around this bend.

Laura: Amazing. Okay, so this bend kind of goes, takes us into 2028, but we're gonna start to see some glimpses.

Rick: And you know, when we go back to, you know, like 2018, '19, and we were talking about 2020 and the, you know, and, and the, the complexity of that Saturn-Pluto conjunction that became COVID and, and the racial, um, issues and the government control and all those things that unfolded with, you know, the medical stuff and the power of government that, that came out of the 2020—we were still looking at, even back then, at the larger sweep of things that in some way, that, that was feeding us toward what's going to happen in the mid-2020s as we move from the 2020s into the 2030s.

Laura: Hmm. Interesting. Okay. What a crazy time to be alive. I'm so grateful that we have astrology during this time.

Rick: I think we paid extra for this one.

Laura: Yeah, we might have.

All right. Now back to the episode. Uh, all right, Rick, so let's talk about June. What's going on in June? Give us, give us it all.

June 2026 Astrology Overview: Sign Changes, Mercury Retrograde & More

Rick: Well, you know, it's, it's, it's interesting. It often takes me a bit to kind of seep into a month and I, and, and in all honesty, although I'm always scanning ahead, I took my really first deep dive into, uh, the month ahead, I mean, day by day, um, only yesterday. Um, but I spent enough time to kinda get a sense of it, but it'll evolve as we move over the, you know, days and, and, and even, uh, into the month itself.

And, and my first impression was, “Hmm, maybe we actually get to take a deep breath.” Now, that doesn't mean that there's a lack of things going on or a lack of newness. In fact, there's some very important things going on, but I noticed a lack of outer planet activity. Um, the, um, there's, there's not as much m- m- movement of, um, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, one to another.

There's a lot of energy towards the personal planets. You know, um, the Sun, obviously the Moon, 'cause it just goes… it makes every aspect every month 'cause it goes around once a month, once a moon. Um, but, um, there, there's a fair amount of, of sign changes. The lunations are interesting. Um, and when I say a fair amount of sign changes, w- uh, what I really mean by that is that we have some important outer planet changes that are gonna take a little bit to really feel.

June 19: Chiron Enters Taurus – From Wounds to Values

Rick: Um, but we have Chiron changing signs. Chiron's been in Aries for several years, and, um, and Chiron moves into Taurus on June 19th. And I think Chiron, who is, you know, the original mentor—Chiron sometimes gets a bad rap as the wounded healer, as if everything, everyone has this wound. Well, it's what makes us human.

Yeah, we all have wounds. We all, we all have things in our life that, as I like to say, no amount of sex, drugs, rock and roll, yoga, meditation, therapy… there are things that we just live our life with, and that they're there. They become manageable, workable, but they don't w- they're never cured. And that's what Chiron was—the centaur who had an incurable, uh, wound that the gods, um, didn't cure—the incurable or critical wound, but granted him immortality.

And Chiron was granted immortality because, because he was a brilliant teacher and a wise teacher. I mean, Chiron, um, taught the martial arts to, to, you know, to Hercules. Um, and, um, and, and taught the healing arts to Asclepius. And, and so Chiron was like an original source of a lot of this stuff, but it's the part of us that helps others heal in ways that make our wounds feel better.

Laura: Mm-hmm.

Rick: That's why it's the wounded healer. And as Chiron has been moving through Aries, everyone has been taking their wounds personally. You know, there's that sense of whether it's my, you know, my position, my wounds, here's what I'm doing, 'cause Aries is the “I, me, mine” sign in some ways. Um, but even nation-states and religions and cultures were doing that same kind of thing.

And now as, uh, as, um, as Chiron moves into Taurus—and it'll do that on June 19th—we're moving into a period of time where I think it's gonna be more about our values, because Taurus has to do with, with, with, with n- not how we present ourselves, but, but what we own. And one of the things that we own—Taurus is a Venus, um, uh, associated sign, and so I think that as Chiron moves into Taurus, we're gonna be more working with our sense of what's important, what's values, what do we have, how do we feel about it?

Um, and, and I think that's gonna be a, a, a shift and a bit of a… it, it's a subtle shift, but Chiron and Eris at the end of Aries have been together, and that's just been—it's been a really intense few years with this whole, you know, clash of disenfranchisement, re-enfranchisement. Um, and I think as Chiron moves into Taurus, that's one thing.

Now, the other outer planet switch that happens, um, is the—is that Jupiter moves into Leo. It does it on the last day of June, so it's kinda hard to talk about it as an issue of June, except what is important to talk about is that Jupiter has been in its favorite place in the zodiac to be. Traditional astrologers call this exaltation.

When a—when a planet is not in its home sign—and Jupiter is at home in Sagittarius, or in Pisces for that matter—[00:16:00] when Jupiter is not in one of its home signs, it likes being in Cancer. Why? Because Jupiter's about growth and expansion and about magnanimity, and Cancer's about self-protection. It's about home.

Jupiter in Cancer is kinda like being in the womb. In other words, we're, we're growing, but we have this shell of protection around us. And it's not that Jupiter… everything about Jupiter in Cancer is good, but Jupiter in Cancer is about nationalism and self-protection. Think of how immigration in so many countries with Jupiter in Cancer has been about, “In order for us to grow in our own identity and feel safe, we need to create a hard outer shell.”

June 29: Jupiter Enters Leo – What Changes

Rick: Well, um, on June 29th, Jupiter moves into Leo, and as it does, it's going to set up this larger swing of energy, um, as the p- Ca- as the planets move out of Cancer and into Leo. And as they do, Jupiter included, they will end up moving opposite to Pluto in Aquarius. They will end up making a trine from fire Leo to fiery Aries where Neptune is in Aries, and they will make sextiles with Uranus now in airy, um, Gemini.

And so as Jupiter makes that move at the end of the month, this is gonna be huge. And although i- it's kind of not an issue for June, what's the issue for June is the fear of—we don't, if we don't make all the self-protection now, we're not gonna get, we're not gonna get ano- another chance to do it because when Jupiter moves into Leo, it all becomes like part of the show.

It becomes outward manifesting. So, so June is an interesting month. We have other planets that change signs. Mars, which has been in Taurus, moves into Gemini. And it does that again toward the end of the month. And so it's almost like the end of June seems, sees a lot of shift because when Mars moves into Gemini, then it's gonna catch up to Uranus.

We'll talk about that in, you know, for, for, in July. But as it does that, again, that Gemini energy is really picking up a notch. Now meanwhile, we also have right now, um, a, a, a fair amount of, of, of Gemini energy. You know, we have the fact that Uranus moved into Gemini. We begin the month of course with the Sun in Gemini, but the Sun'll move into Cancer on June 21st.

Uh, that's the summer solstice. Uh, um, Mercury moves into Cancer on June 1st. The, we, we open up the month with, with Mercury moving out of its, um, home sign of, uh, of Gemini where we've been buzzed. This is why, part of why the last part of May has been so high-frequency, just so many events, so many things. The pace has been really hectic. And as Mercury moves into Cancer on June 1st, it's setting up another thing that's very important in June,

June 29: Mercury Retrograde – Shadow Period Explained

Rick: and that is that Mercury turns retrograde. Now again, it turns retrograde on, on June 29th, so we have this whole pile-up of events that's happening on June 29th, but we have all of June to prepare for it.

You see, Mercury has been moving so fast, it's been moving two degrees a day, twice as fast as the Sun. Uh, and it's beginning to slow down now as it gets way ahead of the Sun. Um, uh, Mercury has—is beginning to slow down. Uh, on the beginning of June, Mercury is moving about a degree and a half a day. That's still pretty fast. By the middle of June, it's only moving about a half a degree a day. And by the end of June… it stops moving. It looks like that, and then it begins its retrograde phase.

Now, the thing is, is that when Mercury makes its retrograde phase, think of it like a pendulum. It's going back and forth like this. And so when Mercury begin… when, when… here, here… let's say my nose is the Sun, and Mercury is going around the Sun, but it looks like it's going like this. And so when Mercury turns retrograde, it begins to carve out an area of the sign, um, of, of the sky where it goes across, back, and across again before it moves on, and then it does that again and again.

And that area where Mercury goes through it, back through it, and then through it again direct is called the shadow. And actually, um, Mercury, um, will go into Cancer, um, on the first of the month, and then by the middle of the month, it enters that area, that, that shadow area. That, even though it doesn't turn retrograde until the end of the month, it will come all the way back to that point, um, uh, by th- the middle-end of, of July, July 24th, where it will sweep all the way back and then turn direct and then make one more pass.

What does this mean? It means that the things that happen from the middle of June all the way, uh, through that Mercury retrograde, and then as Mercury goes direct again—it won't move out of its shadow until early August. And so it may feel like even though everything is moving forward, it may feel that projects, ideas, thoughts… it's like things can't gel. They can't… it's almost like we, we, we have this time during this whole period when Mercury is in its shadow, when we get this one, two, three—oh, here's an idea. Can't make it happen. Oh, now we're getting another round of it, Mercury retrograde. We're dealing with things again. And then as Mercury goes forward, we're getting those things a third and final time, but it's not until, it's not until the beginning of August when Mercury moves out of its shadow when we're now in new territory.

And so it's kinda gonna create a little bit of a, of a time whirlpool for us, and this is a, a large part of what, of what this month is, is about. But we also have mid-month, we have, um, we have Venus moving into Leo. This is exciting. You know, um, it, it, it's exciting because as the planets move into Leo, this is what we think of as the midsummer, the play, the creativity.

Um, and, and in a way we're getting the nurturing that's happening, um, from the Cancerian energy through, um, y- you know, through June and then on into July, um, when, when Jupiter is kind of really grounded in, in Leo. We're kinda getting this, a, this, this, uh, flowering. It's like a midsummer flowering, but it's more than just an, a- an, annual thing.

Um, that's kind of a, a, a, um, a bit of a sweep of the month. There's a, a couple of other things that stand out. We can also look at the, um, the, um, New Moon on June 14th and the Full Moon on, on the 29th. Um, but we do have something else on July 9th. Um, V- Venus, um, moving through Cancer catches up with Jupiter, and this is kind of a, um, an indulgent, uh, an au- a, a sweet, um, a almost too much.

And there may be a sense here, um, of some… you know, we're, we're, we're getting even at the beginning of the month with Venus moving closer and closer to Jupiter for the first week, uh, all the way up through the 9th. We're getting this flavor of that there's some sweetness, there's some ni- nice… there's, there's some, uh, ability for indulgence, and we have to be careful not to overdo. Um, but I think that's an important piece of this also. Let me just make sure that, um, I think I've covered some of the, um, most important things. Oh, I did want to say one other thing, though, that, that is interesting.

Saturn-Neptune Midpoint – What Is a Midpoint in Astrology?

Rick: These are both, um, outer planet related, and, and one of them actually brings up the concept of midpoints. And of course, we'll be doing a, a course on midpoints later this summer. We can come back to that in a little bit.

But remember, we had Saturn aligning with Neptune back last February, and that was, you know, it was an event. It was a day. It was a period of time. But for those of us who have, um, studied the Saturn-Neptune, 36-year Saturn-Neptune cycle and have… we understand that it takes months and even years for the impact of the melting of the old dream, the disintegration of what we thought was real, which we're all dealing with, for that to begin to morph into the dreams of what might happen, into making those dreams real. It's a process that takes years.

Now, right now, at, at the beginning of the month, Saturn is already at 12 degrees of Aries. Neptune has moved up to four degrees of Aries, and so there's about eight degrees between them. They were exact. I mean, this is a slow-moving cycle. They were exact at the end of February, lined up, and now they've both moved forward, but Saturn has moved forward faster, so there's about eight degrees between them.

Now, in astrology, you can take any pair of planets and find the halfway point between them. It's like an average. You know, like the average, um, of, um, of six and 10 is eight. You know, six plus 10 is, is 16, and half of 16 is eight, and eight or six. So it, it's just a m- mathematical average in a way.

Well, right now, with, with Neptune at four degrees and Saturn at 12 degrees, the, the halfway point between those two planets, which is where any pair of planets buzzes, like, like at their midpoint. It's almost like there was a planet there.

Uh, it's a concept that came into astrology back in the early 1900s, um, in what was called the Hamburg School of, of Astrology in, in, in Germany. Um, but midpoints function like real points. That's com- complicated for many people 'cause it adds so many more points. But when you start looking at them, you go, “Oh my God, how, how did I ever go- get along without these?”

Anyhow, Neptune is at four degrees. Saturn is at 12 degrees. 12 plus four. 12 plus four is 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. Half of 16 is eight. Eight degrees of Aries is their halfway point.

Now, on, on June 6th, Mercury—which, remember, Mercury moves into Cancer on the first of the month—by the 6th of the month, Mercury, which is still moving pretty quickly, reaches eight degrees of Cancer, which means that on the 6th of June, Mercury will be exactly square. Mercury in Cancer will be exactly 90 degrees to the Saturn-Neptune midpoint.

And what that'll do is that collapses that Saturn reality structure authority and Neptune, the dream, the deception, the lies, the, the, the, um, imagination. Um, these planets are neither good nor bad. I mean, Neptune is deception, but it's also creative imagination. Uh, Saturn is authoritarianism and fascism, but it's also the rules and the structures of the universe that hold us on the road.

And so where those two energies come together, that'll be squared by Mercury. And I would imagine that right around June 5th, 6th, 7th, when Mercury makes the square to that, we'll have an intellectual breakthrough of some sort that will im-, you know, have that impact to what's real and what's not real. Just an example of how, how m- midpoints work. Um, so, um, yeah.

And th- then of course the other thing, um, is that, um, I think that the New Moon and the Full Moon this month are both interesting. We can come back to them in just a minute. Ultimately, ultimately May seems… I'm sorry, June seems to have just some, some steady progression. I don't think we're gonna get some crazy breakthrough, um, “What the hell was that about?” We've had enough of that this year.

I mean, there's been stuff this year with UFO disclosure or UAP disclosure, you know, with, um, Epstein disclosure that is beginning to make us realize that as horrific as sex trade and all of that is, that that's just the tip of, of an iceberg that we don't even wanna know how deep and wide it goes. Um, there's things that have, you know, been disclosed now that take the whole idea of alien artifacts and bodies and things—that it's out of the “Is this possible?” to “The Pentagon has disclosed this.” I mean, this is, this is all stuff that's already happened.

I don't think we're gonna get stuff on that level in May, but I think we're gonna get the steady growth of more and more of these things that are just gonna ground these things so that, like I said earlier, what was radical is kind of becoming normalized. And there's a danger to that because… and I think that the whole idea of flooding, of having so much information and so much, you know, just a flooding into our consciousness, you know, what we really wanna do is just go home and pull the covers up over our head, you know, and have a cup of tea and not answer the damn phone. I mean, it, it's like we're, we're all overwhelmed, and I think that's the one thing that we need to pay attention to.

I keep thinking of that Rumi poem, and I wish I could recite it exactly, but it's like, “There's movement on the streets,” you know, “Do not go back to sleep.” You know, people are going back and forth. You can hear the noises. The Sun is coming up. There's action happening. Do not go back to sleep.

And that's like all I can think of is, like, as all this stuff is happening, it's almost like there's, there's people in control that are hoping that the overwhelm is going to just simply exhaust us all, but do not go back to sleep.

Laura: Mm-hmm. Yes, uh, Rick. Yeah, and before I go into my questions, the midpoints is fascinating. And if you wanna learn midpoints from Rick, we actually have a waitlist page that you can put your name on, and you'll be the first to know when enrollment opens. This class is gonna take place over, uh, July and August this summer. So you'll be the first to know when it, uh, is open for enrollment, and you can jump in. Um, so you can go to astrologyhub.com/midpoints if you are interested in that. It's gonna be super, super—

Rick: —excited about this because th-, in effect, I don't know whether you guys are framing it this way, but, you know, we've run thousands of people through the foundation courses. You know, the, the original foundations, astrology one, two, and three, and I know that you guys, you know, have been promoting that also last month.

But in a way, this is the next phase of the foundation courses because midpoints for some people just sound overwhelming, and they're really not. And yet, you know, i- if it can be presented in a way that help people, uh, that helps people to understand it, it really opens up another whole piece of astrology that is so useful in our everyday life.

Laura: Mm-hmm. Absolutely. It's absolutely a foundational technique, and not a lot of astrologers talk about it, teach about it. Uh, so I'm really excited that you're offering this for our community, Rick. It's gonna be a lot of fun. So you can go to astrologyhub.com/midpoints and sign up for that waitlist.

Rick, at the beginning you said something about how we've kind of, like, lost the plot, and then you talked about the people in charge kind of hoping this overwhelm is—it kind of helps them, I guess, hide behind what's really happening. And then something I've been thinking about, too, is, like, the climate that we're in is, like, it used to be that you could have a conversation with someone that you disagreed with, and it was, like, a conversation, and it wasn't like, “I'm trying to destroy you.” But now, hearing you talk about Chiron with everyone taking their wounds personally, and it almost means, like, you disagree with someone and there's like—they're like your rival.

Chiron in Aries vs Taurus – Why Everyone Is at Each Other's Throats

Laura: So do you see this getting any better? I mean, I don't wanna associate that just with Chiron in Aries, but it seems to me that that could be a big piece of it, especially with Aries there. But do you see that getting any better, and do you see us kind of, like, admitting that we've lost the plot and, like, it turning around at some point? Like, how does this work?

Rick: I personally do, but I'm also aware that we all, myself included, see the world through, uh… you know, what, what's the Anaïs Nin l-, uh, Anaïs Nin line, uh, she wrote? “We don't see the world as it is, we see the world as we are.” And, and so I, I'm guilty of that too. However, I like to think I have some sense of objectivity when, when I use astrology.

And yes, I do see that. I see all these trines, these upcoming sextiles and trines as feeding into that, but I also see that if we can't figure out how to do this, we're fucked. You know? It's n-, it-, we, we either… I, it, and I think people are coming to this.

I mean, I keep looking back at, you know, that three years ago, you know, a, a, an opening conversation of, you know, which side of the… I'm just gonna use the, uh, the Trump line as an example. Which side of that do you fall on? You know, for or against? Do you have Trump Derangement Syndrome or are you MAGA? You know, d-, are y-, I, I mean, that was… and, and once that line was drawn, there was no further room for any conversation. That was it. These are religious beliefs, not political orientation.

That's kind of begun to fade because it doesn't matter what side of any issue you're on these days, um, whether you're for or against it, you're beginning to realize that you didn't have the whole picture. We're all realizing that, that no matter how sure we were of ourselves, regardless of which way we voted on what, regardless of who we thought was right or wrong—everyone was wrong. You know, reality is not what we thought it was.

And so people are coming to the realization… uh, UFOs, you know, regardless of where you fall on it, there's no question anymore that, that, that we've been in a maybe a 40 to 50-year setup of being softened around the edges from going back to 2001: A Space Odyssey, that movie, to, to, you know, E.T. phone home, to the new Steven Spielberg movie that's coming out this summer that already has hype and may be CIA-financed, who knows, you know, that's called Disclosure Day.

I mean, w-, it's, it, it, it doesn't matter what you thought was real. This idea of where we come from, um, you know, these sites that are being unearthed that are not going back 10 or 15,000 years, but going back 60,000 years. You know, these, uh, these tepes, these hills, um, in Turkey, like Göbekli Te-, Göbekli- Göbekli Tepe. I mean, why can't I ever s- I don't speak Turkish.

Um, but, um, but th- th- these sites that are being uncovered that, uh, the temples in India that have such complexity—not just the great pyramids, they're all over the planet. Who the hell are we? Where the hell did we come from? And this is, I think, what people are being confronted with. Whatever your story is—you were hid-, h-, you were hoodwinked, so was I, so were we, and we're all in this together.

So what this is doing, it's softening the blow. It's allowing us to look at someone who has a very different perspective than ourselves and realize, “Sh-, yeah, me too.” You know? And it's a whole different me too. You know, it's a d-, a whole different #MeToo, because we've all been hoodwinked, and we're all going to either figure out how we can come together so that we're not controlled by, um, a very wealthy cabal, for lack of a better word, um, you know, of people who are running the show, um, y- to somehow recapturing our, our individual sovereignty.

And how that's gonna play out, I don't know. But I know that it's bubbling like it's never bubbled before. There, there, there is a movement that's happening everywhere, and this isn't a top-down. This is a bottom-up, effervescing up to the surface, and I think that's what this summer is about, and we'll have to see how it plays out. But do not go back to sleep.

Laura: Yes. Do not go back to sleep, as tempting as it may be. Yeah, I see a lot of examples, Rick, of, like, people crossing the aisle or just people realizing that it's more, way more nuanced than we once thought. And humans like to be sure, so that's a big confrontation for a lot of people who have been stuck in their way of thinking.

Jupiter in Cancer – Self-Protection, Xenophobia & What to Do Now

Laura: So you said something about Jupiter in Cancer being time for self-preservation, and that we kind of have, like, this month to prep for Jupiter entering Leo and opposing Pluto. What does self-preservation look like? Like, what could be a good use of this time?

Rick: Yeah, I, um, I think we all need to look at our own individual lives and to figure out what's important. You know, uh, how do we survive? I keep coming back to this thought that if I am seeing people who are thirsty, I, I can't give them all water if I don't have enough water to keep myself alive. Now, this is not selfishness. It's, in a way, a form of—I can't be selfless if I'm not existing to give something to someone else.

And so I think we, you know, i- i- sh-, for years, I've been saying: think cosmically, act locally. And that “act locally” is not just doing our best to take care of those people around us, those people that we love, those people that we hate, those people that every… people are people.

You know, to be aware that whatever issues we think are important, um, there are those people who, you know, who think that, you know, that, um, uh, Israel's survival is the most important thing. There are other people who think that a genocide, um, in, um, in the, in Gaza, Palestinian genocide, to think about that is the most important thing.

Well, whatever side of that issue that you're on, you're being curated because you don't realize necessarily that more people in Sudan have died in a month than died in Gaza in four years. And, and why? It's because we're all being curated to look this way or to look that way. And so one of the most important things we can do is to take in news with the awareness that someone's giving us that news for a reason.

Um, and again, I'm not taking the importance off of any one of these issues, but I think it has to do with—with one of the things that we can do is open our visors, is to, is to widen our, our, our sense of perception, um, and to be, uh, more and more aware that, um, we're all getting fed information that in some ways is like this large, um, self-reflective crystal.

You know, lasers are created by light going into a crystal and bouncing around until it amplifies and amplifies and becomes this intense beam. Well, in a way, we're all in these self-reflective, you know, light echo chambers, and the internet has made it even more complicated because when I go onto my internet, social media, or YouTube or whatever, I get a very different self-reflection than someone who has an interest in this or that or that political orientation or whatever. And we each think that our reality is the reality of everyone, and it's not.

Because, because we live in an environment now where everyone gets reflected back to them exactly what they put out, and this is even magnified now even more, um, by, um, AI, uh, i- because it's just, it's all self-reflective. Um, and so, you know, yeah, I think that we all have to just be aware that uh, we need to take care of ourselves. We need to… this is the, this is the positive piece about Jupiter in Cancer.

The negative thing is, though, that in taking care of ourselves, shutting off or having fear—I mean, uh, Jupiter in Cancer, um, I think one of the negative traits of it is xenophobia, is the fear of that which is on the outside, something else, because Jupiter wants to feel safe within its own w- own home as it expands inside the w- the womb.

Now, when I say the womb, I can e- I can mean literally a fetus in a womb, but I can also mean all of us humans in our home, and our home is like an externalized womb, or in our home community, or in our homeland. These are all kind of self-protective Jupiter and Cancer issues. Um, but the benefit of that is actually creating a place where we can grow and where we can nurture the w- those, uh, th- those that we love, because as Jupiter moves into Leo, that energy is going to shift.

Laura: What you're bringing in about social media is so important, like the echo chambers people find themselves in. Do you see the Uranus in Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius signature as making that better? Or like, how do you see that playing into that? ‘Cause I think that this is one of the larger issues as when we talk about how we all communicate as a society together.

Rick: Yeah. Um, better, worse is not something that I can comment on because it depends on what you consider better or worse. You know, you know, a duck considers a rainy day better 'cause there's no humans at the beach. If I'm going to the beach with my suntan lotion, a rainy day sucks. You know? So the better, worse thing is in- is internal ecology.

But what I can say is that the flow between, uh, spontaneous breakthrough and releasing buried tensions… Uranus, the, the great awakener, Uranus Prometheus, who- who's basically the lightning strikes, the awareness, the awakening goes on, we steal fire from the gods, then we bring this, this thing, whether it's fire or artificial intelligence, to Earth.

You know, fire has turned out to be one of the most destructive and useful things. Certainly AI may end up being useful, but it's certainly also totally destructive—not only destroying minds, but also environment and power and, and water. I mean, these are not fears in the future. These are right now.

You know, when you have, you know, super, you know, uh, sites being created in Utah that's twice the area of Manhattan, you know, using the power in one day that the entire state of Utah uses. Um, and so these are, this, this is… it's a real problem issue. But—

Uranus-Pluto Trine: Last Time Was 1921 – What It Means for Consciousness

Rick: The last time Uranus and Pluto trined was in 1921, and in 1921 Niels Bohr founded the Institute of Physics that basically resulted in the change of consciousness of humanity on the planet.

We moved from a state of believing that what we see in this world through our five senses is real and everything else is made up. We believed that, in a way scientifically, we believed that we knew what was going on in the entire ocean by looking at the surface of the sea. That's the, that's the change that went on with what we call roughly quantum physics.

This whole idea that there's, that we only see things when they pop into the three-dimensional world, but there's an entire universe of… actually, we know it's roughly 96% of what's out there we can't perceive. It's dark energy or dark matter. And I think that part of this Uranus-Pluto trine is going to be a popping into a whole new level of consciousness that is as big or maybe even much bigger than what happened as we moved out of this narrow Newtonian cause and effect, um, um, uh, everything is like billiard balls bouncing around that have an exact knowable, you know, path and so on, into this world that we now call, um, indeterminacy, uncertainty, non-locality.

Things can impact things in an en- quantum entanglement way that if you and I have a conversation, um, if I'm an astrologer and you're my client and we have a conversation, just the fact that we have met changes your trajectory. You know? That, that we are not separate from nature, we are actually part of the flow.

This was a huge shift that actually happened at the last Uranus-Pluto trine that a lot of people don't think about. And at this Uranus-Pluto trine, I think it's gonna be as big. I think we're gonna learn things about who we are in the cosmos on planet Earth that are going to alter the fabric of everything.

You know, the reason why the government has been suppressing, um, th- whatever engagements or discoveries that they've had with extraterrestrial or non-local or non-physical, um, um, phenomenon, whether it's crop circles or Roswell, New Mexico, or whatever. You know, this goes back to the fif- 1950s, you know, um, with, uh, Project Blue Book and the Condon report, where the government was basically publishing stuff that, “Nope, there's no such thing. They're just weather balloons,” and whatever.

And, and we've have learned that this was an absolute conscious suppression of, of information. Government d-, you know, does this. It's not the first time. But here's the thing. They did this for, and they're continuing to do it, although it's now coming out, for a reason.

And the reason is that the, um, I think it was the Brookings Institution did a study under the government, um, I think it was under Eisenhower in the '50s, that basically said that if when we went into space that we encountered other signs of intelligent life or, or of other forms of life or whatever, that that awareness on the, you know, in, in, on planet Earth would basically destroy the social fabric, and therefore it should not be allowed to get out because the social fabric would self, uh, disintegrate.

Well, welcome to the 21st century.

Laura: Yeah. Wow. Um, if you're listening to Rick and you wanna know where some of these transits are happening in your chart—like Jupiter entering Leo or the trine between Uranus and Pluto—we actually made a really fun free guide for you all. It's called the Midyear Blueprint, where it goes through all of the transits of the midyear and actually how to find them in your chart.

So as Rick's talking and you're hearing him talk about the, you know, the world, um, this is all happening for you, too, on a, on a personal level. And so you can go to astrologyhub.com/midyear and get that for free if you wanna learn where these are happening in your chart, um, because they're big deals, as Rick is saying.

So Rick, briefly tell us about the new and full moon this month before we wrap up.

June 14 & June 29: New Moon & Full Moon – What They Mean

Rick: Good. Um, New Moon on June 14th. It's actually at 7:54 PM, and that's Pacific Daylight Time. Adjust to your time zone. This New Moon is at 24 degrees of Gemini. Um, and, and it is the first New Moon with, um… well, it's the… it, it's, it… with Uranus in Gemini. But the interesting thing about this is that Venus will have just moved into Leo, and so it's already picking up on that opposition to, um, uh, to Pluto.

And remember that as the planets move into Leo, they're going to each pick up on the opposition to Pluto, the trine to Neptune, the sextile to Uranus, and this is what's building to the summer. So I think with this New Moon, it's energetic and we're getting a little flavor and a taste of what's around the bend.

Um, but the New Moon in itself, um, aside from it being sextile to Eris, which is important because, again, it has to do with disruption that is leading to, uh, reintegration of that which has been disenfranchised, I think it's a relatively sane and gentle New Moon. Don't have a lot to say about it. Um, it just doesn't strike me as, um, you know, as, as an overwhelming New Moon.

Now, that is, um, a bit different, um, than the Full Moon. So the Full Moon on June 29th, um, and the Full Moon on June 29th occurs at 4:56 PM, and again, that's Pacific Time. Um, but the Full Moon is actually, um, at eight degrees of Capricorn, and so it's a Capricorn Full Moon.

And the thing about the Cancer-Capricorn full m-, full moon, or, or the, the, the Capricorn full moon that's opposed the Cancer Sun, um, is that it highlights that energy of the polarity of the inside to the outside. It's, it's one of the cardinal, um, points, almost like Aries to Libra: self, not self.

Well, Cancer—and remember, Jupiter is still in… on, on the Full Moon, Jupiter is at 29 degrees of Cancer, 57 minutes. That's like three minutes, arc minutes, away from Jupiter going into Leo, which it does the following day. Um, this is about s-, protecting the self, Cancer Sun, by creating a fence, a boundary, um, a, a wall, a hard outer shell, which is what crabs do. They have an exoskeleton to protect their feelings or their mushiness on the inside.

But the Ca-, but the Capricorn Full Moon is saying, “Yes, but the way we need to reflect this is by mastering things on the outside.” And I think here the key to the, to the outside energy is actually finding ways to not just go inside out of fear, but to engage ourselves on the outside.

Now, the other thing here that's of importance at this Full Moon is that the Uranus-Pluto trine is now closing in on nearly one degree of orb. It's one and a quarter degrees away from being exact. Um, and the Neptune right at the middle of that is, like, a half a degree, you know, f- away from being exact, um, to Pluto, and just a little bit more, like, um, three quarters of a degree to Uranus.

The point here is that, that this Full Moon, um, although it in itself doesn't have major, um, connections—with one exception which I'm gonna get to in just a moment, um, but it doesn't have major direct, um, engagements except that a-, all, every… it's everything's pregnant, you know, with what's coming right around the bend, and I think we're gonna feel that more than ever.

Now, remember what I said earlier about the midpoint between Neptune and S-, Saturn, which were at four degrees and 12 degrees—well, um, back when, when, when the, um, Mercury was squaring their midpoint. Well, by the end of the month, by the Full Moon, Neptune and Saturn, um, are now 10 degrees apart, so their midpoint is at nine degrees, um, of Aries.

In other words, Neptune is at four, Saturn is at 14, so they're 10 degrees apart. Half of 10 is five. So you take the four-degree Neptune, you add five, and you come up there. A halfway point is at nine degrees. Well, this Full Moon is at eight and a quarter degrees. It's, like, really close to that, and it's squaring that, that midpoint of Saturn and Neptune.

And again here, the thing that stands out about this Full Moon is that it is square the midpoint of imaginary, dreamy, fantasy, deception, um, both good and bad Neptune, and Saturn—the rules, the constraint, the status quo, the stili-, the, the stability, the fascism, the authoritativeness, the arbitrary top-down control of Saturn.

Both of those are being resonant to this whole thing of: are we gonna pull in and protect ourselves from the outer, or are we gonna go out and in some way master something that allows us to g-, engage in the outer world and to alter it?

Laura: Hmm. Incredible. Okay, so that Full Moon sounds like a big one, and just another example of, oh, how important midpoints are, 'cause I would have never seen that in the chart. So thank—

Rick: And you won't hear other astrologers talk about that necessarily because it's, it's, i- i- it's there and there are… I mean, some of the best predictive astrologers in the world use these techniques that came from what's, uh, from what I c-, referred to earlier as the Hamburg School of Astrology, but cosmobiology or Uranian astrology or symmetrical astrology—these are all things that we will dig into in this course.

These are major schools of astrological work that often don't reach into the popular astrology because it does take a little bit more conceptualization. And one of the things, as I know you know, Laura, one of my gifts, if I have one, is I kinda have this ability to explain complicated things in a way that's not so complicated. Um, and so I'm really eagerly looking forward to bringing some of these concepts into the wider scenario.

Laura: Yes, we are too. So if you wanna be the first to know when enrollment opens for that midpoints class, you can go to astrologyhub.com/midpoints and you can sign up there. So this month, Rick—

Rick: —by the way, um, that's going to be the, uh, the four weeks are, are going to be—they're gonna be prerecorded segments that you'll be able to watch at your own pace, but we'll also have live engagements as part of that course, um, that even if you can't make the live engagement, you'll be able to watch it after the fact. Just, uh, just wanted to share that.

Laura: Yeah. And you can also submit your questions in advance so you can watch the replay for the answer. So even if the live schedule—I know we have a global audience, it's always hard. But, uh, yeah, that'll, that'll be super fun. And as always, you get lifetime access to the materials when you buy a course at Astrology Hub, so you can revisit it many times over. I know I've done that with your foundation suite qu-, quite a bit.

So Rick, this month, deep breath. We get a deep breath and steady progression towards what we're heading towards this summer. Seems like we have a lot of sign changes this month. Chiron into Taurus, Jupiter into Leo, Mars into Gemini, Mercury into Cancer, and Venus into Leo. That's a lot. We've got Mercury retrograde at the end of the month. It seems like the end of the month is, like, kind of like we're leading up to, like, a big crescendo at the end of the month. So—

Rick: —and that crescendo will crash… w-, um, mid-July. I mean, ev-, ev-, ev-, I mean, we're, we're right now on a gradual ramp up, and the crazy thing is as this is all ramping up—and of course we have in July also we begin to move into eclipses and we have other things going on—but as we're ramping up, Mercury is moving backwards.

Apparently it doesn't really move backwards, but as we're ramping up, it's also almost like we're getting a chance to take a breath and look back and to review and revision and rethink things and look back and see where we're coming from, almost as if everything's moving forward, but part of our mental process is still not quite r-. And then as Mercury turns direct in July, whoosh,

Laura: Hmm.

Rick: away we go.

Laura: Away we go. All right, you guys. Well, that's good. I like the deep… I like the sound of a deep breath and some time to regroup before we, we go into the crescendo. Um, so—

Rick: I like that. I—that's gonna be a word: crashundo.

Laura: Perfect. You heard it here first. Um, so Rick, I know you've had a busy, crazy couple months. Can—where can people find you this month?

Rick: Um—

Laura: Or are you stationary direct the whole time?

Rick: Sta-, stationary direct, yeah. Um, no, I, I mean, I'll be doing a co-, another course on an introduction to harmonic aspects through Kepler College. This'll be, uh, the fifth or sixth time I've offered this course. Another thing that's complicated for some people, also covered, by the way, in the, uh, foundations courses.

Um, but, um, other than that, you know, I'm on Patreon. I do my, uh, monthly on, uh, uh, on YouTube. I do a mid-month update for Patreon subscribers. Um, I teach chart interpretation also through Patreon. You can find it there.

And, um, and I am going to, like most every other astrologer on the planet, be at UAC, the United Astrology Conferen-, Congress, um, in Chicago first week of September. Um, there's gonna be 1,500 astrologers there. They're nearly sold out there. Um, it's gonna be a crazy… there's gonna be, like, 140 lecturers from 30 different countries. Um, it's gonna be a powerhouse of a week.

I'm very excited because I've been nominated for a Regulus Award. Uh, the Regulus Awards are given, um, only once every five years at these conferences—the Marion D. March Regulus Award. They're given in five different groups. Um, and I've been nominated in the, uh, group or in the, uh, um, in the category, um, of, um, u-, under theory and understanding. Uh, you know, they have, uh, um, aw-, awards in education, in, uh, research. Um, and so, um, yeah, I'm very excited about, about that.

And also I'll be participating, um, in Astrology Week at Lily Dale, which is the home of the American Spiritualist Church. Um, that's just south, uh, about an hour out of Buffalo, New York in a beautiful rural, um, setting. And I'll be joining Rachel Lang and Ann Ordley and a handful of other astrologers. Um, and that'll be in mid-August. You can find line, you know, information on that, um, either on my website or get on my mailing list, and that's at ricklevineastrologer.com. And then if you can't find me on social media, you probably shouldn't, uh, have a computer.

United Astrology Conference

Laura: Amazing, Rick. Yes, we're super excited about UAC as well. We'll be there. Astrology Hub has a—we have a big booth there, and so come by and say hi. I'm really looking forward to it. I have to prepare myself. This is gonna be my first ever astrology conference, and it's just gonna be huge, and I need to—

Rick: For your first ever, this is gonna be like, you know, like a trial by fi-. Well, it's not trial. It's gonna be, you know, party and excitement by fire. You know, imagine four classes a day. Four s-, two in the morning, two in the afternoon, events in the evening. But f-, but two classes every morning, two classes every afternoon, and you have a choice of 16 different lectures to go to at each of those class openings on almost any topic, you know, from very beginner to very advanced to research to counseling techniques to spiritual, um, you know, things to, to history to, uh, Jungian psychology to… I, I mean, it's just a total complete, you know, a, a gamut from one end of the astrological spectrum to the other. Um, we astrologers call this the grandmother of all astrology gatherings.

Laura: Oh, the grandmother. All right. Well, I am looking forward to it, and I hope that we see some of you all there. Come up and say hi to us. And Rick, this has just been so fun. I look forward to these every month. I missed you last month when you were with Amanda, and—

Rick: Yeah, me too. Yeah. No, but Amanda was a good stand-in for you.

Laura: Yeah. Yes. Right.

Rick: Don't t-, don't tell her I said that.

Laura: Amazing. All right, Rick. Well, thank you so much for your time today. Thank you all for tuning in and making astrology a part of your life. We will catch you on the next episode. Thank you so much.
