2026 June Solstice
June 21, 2026 — September 23, 2026

Today is Lunar Living's 15th online anniversary. Here is a link to our very first article, written pretty much in the same format we use today. It was a Solar Eclipse on Solstice type of a start.

Today's June solstice is setting us up for a very productive season over the next three months. We should be able to start and finish an important project without too much fuss. The only challenges that we may need to work around are the square from the Sun in Cancer to Neptune in Aries along with the opposition from Pluto retrograde in Aquarius to Venus in Leo. Money is likely to be a difficulty that we will need to find ways to work around, based on the latter of the two challenging aspects, between Venus and Pluto, while perspectives on world views may obscure the truth, based on the former aspect from Neptune to the Sun. These may not be cataclysmic challenges, but serious enough to cause us to look for alternative financial resources and fact finding outlets.

The Moon in Virgo is trine to Mars in Taurus. These two are forming sextiles to Mercury and Jupiter in Cancer Excellent vibes that encourage us to find healthy escapes or platforms that allow us to express our talents and emotions. A wonderful time to learn a new skill, be it musical instrument, artistic expression, or learn a new language. We are likely to develop any new talent quicker than usual over the next three months.

Mercury in Cancer will station for retrograde transit starting June 29, with the retrograde transit ending July 23. We have a small window of planning and prep for travel, purchasing of electronics, and signing legal documents prior to the retrograde station the final days of June.

Venus in Leo trines Saturn in Aries. This is a start over opportunity that should allow us to quickly regroup and fix prior issues.

Uranus in Gemini sextiles Neptune in Aries and trines Pluto retrograde in Aquarius. This pattern is a long acting connection between these three slow moving planets that may cause change for us in a plodding but definitive manner. We may not even notice the change as it is occurring, but rest assured, changes will impact our lives.

This solstice is a very balanced chart, relative to the planetary placements and minimum number of retrograde planets. We are less likely to be headstrong or indecisive, and more likely to find team building activities that inspire and build strong bonds for the future.
