Alright folks, buckle up. Wanted to make sense of what this whole June 21st horoscope buzz was about, especially that “What Happens Next” bit. Felt like I needed to actually sit down and do this properly, not just skim some vague online prediction, you know?
Setting the Stage (AKA My Morning Chaos)
First thing, grabbed my coffee – cold by the time I got to it because the dog decided that moment needed walking. Typical. Pulled out my battered notebook, the one with the coffee ring from last week’s “brilliant” idea. Checked my usual astrology apps for the planetary positions on June 21st. Sun moving into Cancer, sure, but it was the Mercury retrograde just ending that got my eyebrow twitching. Oh boy.
Started scribbling down the big players:
- Sun: Entering Cancer (home, feels, security vibes)
- Mercury: Fresh outta retrograde in Gemini (communications un-jumbling… slowly)
- A bunch of planets chilling in Taurus (practicality, stubbornness central)
- That Full Moon in Capricorn a few days back (ambition hangover?)
Realized I needed more than just the positions. Like, what were these guys actually doing? Flipped through some old notes – found diagrams I’d drawn weeks ago trying to see how planets “talk” to each other. Saw a bunch of ‘squares’ and ‘oppositions’ marked up, especially involving that Sun and Mercury. Looked stressful on paper!
The Practice Part: Trying to See the Connection
Here’s where I got my hands dirty. I wanted to see if this celestial mess actually showed up in my world, you know? Practical stuff. Scanned back through my journal entries around last year’s Cancer season for patterns – spoiler: it involved a leaky roof and a family argument about who forgot to call grandma. Classic Cancer themes.
Then, focused on late June specifically:
- Looked for communication breakdowns: Absolutely found them. Missed emails, texts gone weird, a work meeting that went totally sideways. Hello Mercury retrograde shadow period!
- Observed where I felt insecure or defensive: Spot on. Like arguing intensely about minor things – Sun in Cancer hitting that sensitive spot.
- Noticed stubborn resistance to change: Yep. Held onto a crappy routine way longer than I should’ve, purely because changing felt hard. Taurus planets demanding comfort.
Spent a good hour mapping these personal hiccups against the planetary aspects I’d scribbled. It wasn’t perfect – life’s messy – but the overlaps were freaky. The friction points lined up.
Making Sense of “What Happens Next”
Okay, so if late June often brings these friction points… what does that mean for after June 21st? The Sun in Cancer trip takes weeks. Mercury waking up fully? Takes time.
My takeaway, based on poking at my own patterns:
- Expect the friction to shift, not disappear: Sun in Cancer ramping up? Deeper emotional stuff surfaces. Work hiccups might ease as Mercury recovers, but personal conversations might get heavy.
- Prepare by slowing down (even more): Pushing hard through that planetary resistance last June just exhausted me. This time? Build in buffer zones. Extra time for chats, extra patience for tech, extra grace for myself when I feel crabby.
- Get practical about security (Cancer vibes): Checked my emergency fund. Made a note to finally call about that home insurance thing. Leaned into the Taurus practicality surrounding the Cancer Sun.
Basically, the practice showed me it’s less about predicting doom and more about seeing the likely weather patterns – knowing it might be stormy helps you bring an umbrella.
Wrapping Up My Messy Notes
Stared at my chaotic pages – arrows everywhere, coffee stain now joined by toast crumbs. Didn’t magically know the future. But the practice of digging into the transits, comparing them to my actual past experiences? That made the “What Happens Next” feel less scary. It’s just the next phase of an energetic wave we can kinda, sorta anticipate if we pay attention to how these patterns usually play out. My preparation boils down to awareness and giving myself more damn space.
