Astro Magic Forecast for June 2024

The month of June brings the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and we find ourselves swimming in the healing waters of the sign of Cancer. Cancer is known for its nurturing qualities and is the sign associated with mothers and motherhood. So, while we are in the sign of the crab, our focus will be on self-care, caring for our families, family and tribal bonds, and comfort and security.

5 Magical Ways to Make the Most of Cancer Season

1. Healing Magic – Cancer is the sign associated with all forms of healing.  Cancer is a water sign, and the symbol of water reflects cleansing and purification.  If you have health concerns that you want to work with magically, now is the time to do it.
   
   Recommended Candles: Healing (Blessed Herbal), Spiritual Cleansing (Blessed Herbal), Heart (Blessed Herbal)
   
   
2. Protection Magic – When a crab is threatened, it crawls into its shell to protect itself from the outer world.  This month, protection magic is enhanced because Cancer is the only sign ruled by the Moon, so it receives a full dose of lunar power. So, if you need to, put up those magical walls and keep the nasties at bay.
   
   Recommended Candles: Fiery Wall of Protection (Aunt Jacki’s Ultimate), Guardian Protector (Affirmation), and Flying Monkeys (Wicked Witch Mojo)
   
   
3. Kitchen Magic – “Home is where the heart is,” and it is through the preparation of food that we often show our love.  There are many resources available for kitchen magic, but intentionally charging herbs and foods to bring forth the energy you desire is a great way to work with Cancer energy. As my good friend Jacki Smith told me, "Everything is kitchen witchery; use what you have around you at the moment." So, the next time you grab that Frank's Hot Sauce, you can use it to heat up any area of your life that needs it.  Yeah, even that area!
   
   Recommended Candles: Moon (Astro Magic), Home Blessing (Affirmation), Home/Peace/Serenity (Blessed Herbal) 
   
   
4. Prosperity Magic – Ordinarily, people look to Venus and the sign of Taurus for prosperity. However, Cancer is the sign of "nurturing," and it helps things grow correctly. We can use Cancer's energy to focus on what needs to grow in our lives and give ourselves the food we need.  Also, suppose you have anything new that you have just given birth to, whether it be a new relationship, a business, a project, or even a living being. In that case, you can use Cancer magic to help it grow properly.
   
   Recommended Candles: Prosperity (Blessed Herbal), Everything and Then Some (Wicked Witch Mojo), Venus (Astro Magic)
   
   
5. Ancestral Magic – The sign of Cancer has to do with our roots – you know those people we came from. Ancestral Magic is highly effective because it evokes spirits invested in your well-being. After all, they helped (regardless of how far back they go) create you. So, put them to work whenever you can! I suggest you make an ancestral altar somewhere in your home.  After all, if you honor them, they will return the favor.

Weekly Breakdown

June 3, 2024 – June 9, 2024

The major player of the first week of June is Mercury, the trickster god. In astrology, Mercury is the planet linked to communication and intellect.

Monday, June 3, 2024

Mercury in Gemini -- We start the week with Mercury moving into Gemini. When Mercury moves into the sign of the twins, it’s like your brain hits a turbo button! It's the perfect time to chat up a storm, learn some nifty tricks, and become a multitasking wizard. Whip out those to-do lists and tick off tasks like a pro. Feeling social? Schmooze through your network like you're the host of an invisible talk show. And keep things light—stick to projects you can finish faster than a microwave dinner.

June 10, 2024 – June 16, 2024

This week, aspects take center stage in the forecast, specifically the “square” aspect. In astrology, a "square" happens when two planets are 90 degrees apart, creating tension. This challenging aspect can bring about internal conflicts or external obstacles, depending on which planets are involved. For example, a square could cause friction between your desires and values, or make communication tough. Although it sounds tough, this tension is also a chance for growth. It pushes you to confront and resolve issues, helping you to develop and move forward.
