Up today, we'll have a look at the two dominant energies for June. First, the fiery conjunction of Mars and Ketu in Leo combined with Kaal Sarpa Yoga, what this means in the wider world and how you can use spiritual strategies to avoid being drawn into mindless conflicts or aggression. 

Then we'll have a look at the beneficial alignment of Jupiter Sun and Mercury in Gemini and how you can enhance your intelligence and creativity with this cosmic support.

April 2025 brings a powerfully complex alignment of Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Rahu.

Although both systems use the same 12 signs (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc.) modern calculations show a difference in the date ranges of the signs.

This difference arises from a phenomenon called Precession of the Equinox.

In 2025, you can expect to experience some major energetic shifts as all the slow moving planets change signs this year. Most of these changes happen in spring of 2025, with Saturn, Jupiter and the Lunar Nodes, Rahu & Ketu, all changing signs. Mercury’s retrogrades in Water Signs gives subtle support for resurfacing and purifying repeating emotional patterns in your life.

It's a rare phenomenon to see all five visible planets at once - made especially meaningful by a unique arrangement of the planets and moon.
