Hello and welcome back to Astro Talk.
We're starting from the 15th of June.
We're going through to the 21st of June 2026.
And let's start this week with a little question.
Have you ever sent a text message and then not received a
reply? I don't know, for a few hours
and then immediately assumed that that person hates you, the
world hates you. There's a billboard about how
everyone hates you. You.
You think you're about to get fired or or unfriended, sent to,
I don't know, Exile Island. Or maybe you've you've had a
very awkward conversation with someone and immediately started
replaying every single word you said.
You analyse their tone and that weird thing they did with their
lip halfway through the conversation.
And now you're thinking, this is it, this is it.
I've I've got no mates and everyone hates me and I'm going
to eat worms because one of the things that I notice over and
over again, not only in my astrology clients but also in
myself, is that most suffering doesn't come from what's
actually happening. It comes from the story that we
tell ourselves about what is happening.
Two people can experience exactly the same event and walk
away with completely different emotional outcomes.
Some someone might say rejection, someone might say
redirection. One person says failure, the
other person says feedback. Now, the astrology that's coming
out for this week is going to keep us coming back to this
theme of reality versus interpretation, real facts
versus your assumptions based on your experiences, what happened
versus what our nervous system thinks has happened.
Now, if we're honest, most of us have a part of our brain that
deserves absolutely no management position whatsoever.
Because if I give it one tiny piece of information, it's going
to immediately start writing a disaster movie, a catastrophe
movie starring, I don't know, Katie Holmes and Jack
Gyllenhaal. And this, this week's astrology
is asking us to become better observers of our own mind and a
little less willing to believe every dramatic conclusion that
it arrives at at 3:00 in the morning.
So let's get into it. OK, so Monday, the 15th of June,
we have venous sextile Uranus. And, and this is a beautiful
combination, Venus and Uranus holding hands.
This is energy of surprise, but they're unexpected
opportunities. There may be unusual
conversations or chance meetings.
Now a lot of people say they want change.
Do they want change or do they want control?
Because I think that people want surprise opportunities that
arrive on their timeline. I didn't.
I was manifesting this were you? Well anyway, they want
unexpected overnight success, but they've actually been
preparing for it for 20 years. Venus and Uranus tend to show up
through that disruption. The friend who suddenly goes, Oh
my God, I saw this job for you. Or the opportunity you didn't
see coming. The conversation.
And one of the things I've noticed about my life is that
many of the important moments don't look important at the
time. In fact, I maybe would have said
no. And then something at the last
minute, I've said yes. And suddenly there we go.
There is a hidden opportunity inside what we perceive to be an
inconvenience. And if something shifts this
week for you, before you immediately label it as bad, I
want you to pause because some of the best things that have
ever happened to you probably started with the words.
Well, I wasn't expecting that later on, on that day on the
15th, the moon is going to move into to Cancer.
Expect nostalgia. I think that you might feel
yourself thinking about old friends and old relationships.
An old house you lived in. Maybe you see the house that you
grew up in is up for sale, Old versions of yourself.
But but, but, but, but. Here's my advice.
Before you reach out to someone from your past, ask yourself the
question, do you really miss them?
Or do you miss how things were at the time they were in your
life? That is a massive difference.
On Tuesday, we have Venus trine Neptune.
This is a very soft, creative, spiritual energy, romantic
energy. It's a very soft transit.
It sort of makes you, I don't know, want to listen to music
and stare out of the window of a train and listen to the song
Vienna by Billy Joel. What what, what fascinates me
about Neptune, though, is that it will reveal the longing
underneath the goal. So people go, you know, I'm
always banging on about this. I want the red Porsche with the
top down and flying along the highway.
No, what you want is freedom. I want, you know, to have
100,000 followers on Instagram. No, what you want is connection.
People think they want success, but maybe they just want
significance. It's it's important to go.
What is the longing under these goals?
Is it meaning? Is it belonging?
Is it beauty, a feeling that your life matters?
I, I will say that this is fantastic energy for writers or
healers, artists, spiritual practitioners, anyone who's you
know in that in that world, because Neptune reminds us that
not everything valuable comes through effort.
Sometimes things just arrive because they're aligned.
Sometimes they arrive because we've paid attention and we have
allowed that crack in the veil to, to bring in the thing.
Neptune, though, the shadow side of Neptune is that it can make
red flags look really pretty and it can make the fantasy feel way
more attractive than the reality.
So please be sensible. Please be sensible.
Just because the Brewster gave you, I don't know, an extra
little shake of chocolate on your cappuccino and a smile
doesn't mean that they're your soul mate.
Yes, Wednesday the 17th of June we have Venus opposing Pluto.
Now here things are going to get really psychologically
interesting, and Venus opposing Pluto has a really great talent
for exposing that emotional sheep we don't want to look at.
Someone doesn't reply to your message, like I said, suddenly
you're not reacting to the message.
You're reacting to every single previous experience of being
overlooked and how your whole class got invited to Claudia's
birthday in year 3, but you didn't, or someone else got an
opportunity that you wanted. You're reacting to your fears
about your own worth. Pluto is really interested,
though, in that surface story. It wants to know what's
underneath. As I'm always saying, it's
Pluto. Is that the acorn in the oak?
What I often see with this transit, though, is people
turning very ordinary situations into, I don't know,
psychological thrillers. Now, someone to use your
Instagram story but didn't like it, right.
OK, suddenly you, Nancy Drew, you got a timeline.
There's evidence, there's there's theories.
You've connected these to that unrelated event that included
Claudia from Grade 3, and everyone's been plotting against
you. Pluto is here to remind you that
perhaps before you go full Trixie Belden, we we might want
to examine what the situation is actually touching us inside.
It is that little simple question.
Why is this making me feel so shit about myself?
The question will reveal more than the rumination, so just sit
with it for a while. Why are you automatically
assuming that you are in the wrong and you are the bad
person? Moon moves into Leo later in the
day and honestly, thank fuck for that.
Sometimes you guys have got to get out of your heads and go out
for dinner, Laugh with your friends.
Go and go and watch a comedy show.
Go and watch a musical theatre show.
Something that's joyous, something that's funny.
Thursday the 10th we have moon trine Saturn and this transit is
a very important one to bring out the truth of your personal
development and how that unfolding is happening.
Because self esteem is built through evidence.
You can have all the vision boards and Pinterest stuff you
want going on, but we need evidence.
Every time you keep a promise to yourself, every time you commit
to, to honouring yourself, every hard thing that you have
completed is evidence. And, and people often think that
confidence comes first and action comes second, but it's
actually the other way around. Confidence comes from the result
of repeatedly proving to yourself that you can handle
life. Now you have to earn trust
slowly. You have to demonstrate that you
are going to show up for yourself.
You, you demonstrate reliability.
You say to yourself, I, I'm OK, I'm going to sit with myself and
I'm going to do the thing that's not glamorous astrology.
I know that. But no one's really, you know,
getting off on quotes about consistency.
But but it is about keeping those promises to yourself.
What promises have you made to yourself that maybe you've
dropped and you need to pick up again?
Friday the 19th of June, we have moon, sextile sun, beautiful
energy, lots of alignment there, flow, maybe some small winds,
maybe a bit of encouragement from the world that you're doing
the right thing. The lesson though, is how to
receive it. If someone wants to give you a
compliment, you don't have to agree or disagree.
You just have to acknowledge it. Like the queen always used to
say thank you. That is very kind of you to say,
just take the compliment, take the coffee.
I don't know, take the little chat with someone who wants to
tell you how cute your outfit is.
That's it. Now you have to learn how to
receive that because a lot of people are really comfortable in
giving, but they're not so great at at at, you know, receiving.
Don't minimise it. If someone acknowledges you for
being ace, then don't say, oh, I wasn't that hard.
Like, please stop it. It's so, so bad for you.
These are evidence, too, that you were showing up for
yourself. I mean, Cancer season is
approaching as we come out of Gemini.
And one of the lessons is learning to allow yourself to
receive nourishment. And you know, nourishment and
nurturing are two of my favourite words.
And I, I'm thinking emotional, physical, spiritual, What are
you eating? What are you watching?
I are you being appreciated? Are you accepting a compliment
and knowing that's not arrogance, it's emotional
maturity. You're allowed to be appreciated
and recognised. Saturday the 20th we have the
Moon in Virgo. Now Virgo loves to ask practical
questions and will come in with a clipboard and a checklist,
which is useful if you're suffering from anxiety because
you know as as someone who has suffered from anxiety, we do
love a bit of future scenarios that end with us living under a
bridge. Now, Anxiety also loves endless
analysis. I often think that sometimes
when I'm in anxiety mode, I, my brain has, you know, 20 browser
tabs open and they are all disastrous.
Anxiety will research the problem instead of addressing
the problem. But when we have a moon in
Virgo, it's, it's actually asking a really simple question,
which is what can you actually do today?
Not next year, not when you're in the bridge.
Under the bridge. It's actually saying one
practical action is actually more powerful.
The noise. 20 browser tabs that you have open.
So send the email or make the appointment to have you check up
or clean your desk or take the bags of, you know, donations out
and give them to the op shop or thrift shop.
Clean, clean your bathroom. I don't know, take your dog for
a walk because action will create clarity in a way that
overthinking never can. Now Sunday the 21st of June, sun
enters Cancer. What a beautiful time.
Cancer season begins. Everyone snappy a little crab
claws. Now Cancer loves to ask this
question and some of you I know don't know the answer to this.
And perhaps this season we're going to learn.
The question is, what do you need?
Not what everyone else needs from you, Not what you think is
going to make you look successful and keep everyone
else happy. It's saying what do you actually
need? Many of us become so focused on
being useful and thinking that we have to earn our love, the
love that people give us, that they forget they're, they're
allowed to have needs of their own.
These people become excellent carers and rescuers and
supporters and wingmans, but they, they lose contact with
themselves and, and cancer, as I say, those little crabs live in
the estuaries off off the river, off the source.
And their their task to be the evolved cancer is to get back to
the source, to get back to home, back to the body, back to
belonging and emotional honesty. That is the question I want you
to think about what do you need? We also have the first quarter
moon in Libra, which is going to be highlighting relationships
because Libra loves to remind us that healthy relationships
require maintenance. They require renewed loyalty,
communication and adjustment and and and understanding that maybe
your husband's not being a total prick, he's just worried about
work. Or maybe your wife isn't being a
total bitch, she's just really tired because the baby's
teething. The healthiest relationships are
not the ones without conflict. They are the ones where people
address the issue before the resentment festers and gets
pussy and then settles in. And then you have to go to the
doctor to get it to removed. People don't communicate
concerns enough. They gather evidence and then
they go, well, this is what you did that time when you did the
thing. And you know, I don't want you
to do that. I want you to have the
conversation and ask what you need.
Please communicate before the resentment becomes a big
festering boil on your bum. Now, lesson of this week.
If I could sum up this whole week in one sentence, it would
be can you not let your worst thoughts run the meetings in
your head? Because before you assume
rejection, please pause. Before you assume that everyone
hates you, please pause. Before you assume that the worst
case scenario is inevitable and you're booking your spot under
the bridge, please pause. I want you to ask yourself, is
this what's actually happening, or is my nervous system trying
to protect me from something that hasn't happened yet?
This week's astrology, of course, is not asking you to
become perfect because there's no such thing as becoming
perfect. The real etymology of perfect is
complete. That is the word it meant
complete. We are asking you to become
complete. It is not asking you to become
positive. It is asking you to become more
conscious of your patterns before they become problems.
You, you, you have patterns and you came returning back to them
and and we all get a different set of patterns.
And your job should, should you choose to accept this mission,
this job is to evolve and recognise that every feeling you
have deserves compassion, but not every feeling deserves
control of the steering wheel. Emotional maturity is not the
absence of emotion, it is the ability to feel deep deeply
without immediately handing those feelings that the keys to
your car and and driving your life into a tree.
