This is going to be a long astrology and June 2020 forecast post. Buckle up and grab a drink. If you need a break from reading, it will be narrated into a podcast here: www.anchor.fm/primalgirlwellness


trigger warning: this post contains a graphic image of a lynching from a historical photograph. if you don't wish to see it, please head over to the podcast and listen to the audio version of this blog entry.


Each of these planetary shifts spans further than the date it becomes exact.

June 18, 2020: Mercury will station retrograde at 14 Cancer on June 18, 2020.

June 21, 2020: Lunar eclipse at 0* Cancer - watch all events from June 11-24, 2020 for increased significance.

June 23 - Did I forget to mention that Neptune stations retrograde today?****

June 25, 2020: Venus station direct at 5 Gemini

June 28, 2020: Mars enters Aries.


The eclipse is in pink. It is in effect and being felt as far back as the 11th. Look for the yellow highlighted boxes to see the entire span of time the eclipse effect is being felt.

Mercury stationing retrograde is in green. The circled dates in green are the dates when the Mercury station will be felt most powerfully. Decisions, events, conversations, agreements during this time UNTIL the actual retrograde station on the 18th will be hard to change and have more "volume" than usual because of the added 'jet fuel propulsion it has from being under the eclipse umbrella at the same time.

Venus stationing direct is in blue. The circled dates are when we will feel it most intensely.

Mars entering Aries is in red. Specifically, Mars at the Aries point. Look for the circled days for the most immediate impact.




Notes about dates: Always allow a 24-48 hours leeway in either direction around the date for a variety of factors, my lack of time to drill down multiple charts to pinpoint a precise time and location on an entire globe being one them. :-)

Example: June 11, 2020 shows up as a hotspot day but it appears to be June 9, 10 and 12 were also actively momentous days. The Georgia primaries was a deliberately tampered with debacle and an open, shameless display of voter suppresion. NASCAR, the iconic sport of moonshine bandit fans everywhere now bans Confederate flags to the horror of their Southern, racist fans. Nancy Pelosi publicly announces that confederate statues in federal buildings will be removed (finally). All of these things are bigger events than they appear and will show themselves as tipping points in the big picture later.

On June 11, 2020 specifically:
 The first of two young Black men were found within 24 hours of each other, lynched (and hung publicly) in a California park. The first being found within blocks of the police department and a municipal building out in the open. California law enforcement and associated agencies are trying to claim this was a "suicide" before a full, formal autopsy was even done. Obviously, this is about as true as anything else coming out of our Federal government's coronavirus information. Watch this case. This is the most important event of all and moreso, because there is an active attempt to bury any further disclosure about this unless the public continues putting pressure on local LE and their affiliated agencies. https://occupydemocrats.com/2020/06/12/body-of-young-black-man-is-found-hanging-from-a-tree-in-palmdale-ca-2/




Look at the faces of the onlookers in this crowd. Really look and see it. And remember it.


Here's an excellent bit of history about lynching, Billy Holiday, the singer and the song "Strange Fruit". https://www.biography.com/news/billie-holiday-strange-fruit



Mercury station retrograde at 14 Cancer conjunct fixed star Sirius, powered by an eclipse at 0 Cancer, on the Aries Point.


Without looking at the planets or aspects involved, just having planets at these particular degrees by fixed star and Aries Point promises something dramatic and world changing.
The fixed star Sirius is known as the dog star. It is a hot, fiery star that promises immense wealth, fame and increase when well aspected but it also gives danger of dog bites (look for the spotlight on dogs to become part of the news cycle at this time?) and the most important thing I want you to consider about this fixed star is this:
The naming of the fixed star Sirius, the Dog-star, derives from the Greek, Seirios (SparkingScorching).
With this Mercury retrograde station AND the eclipse with it, I would look for deliberate arson of a large scale to be possible now. "Burn the f/cker down" has been a rallying cry from Minneapolis following the George Floyd murder by police officers as they burned down the police building that housed the murderous officers in protest of the murder and the continued, unchecked abuse by police and the multi-agency cover-ups of that abuse for decades.

ON THE UPSIDE, IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE THAT SOMETHING AMAZING AND WORLD CHANGING IN ALL THE RIGHT WAYS WILL BE IGNITED AT THIS TIME. BE OPEN TO MIRACULOUS "GAME CHANGERS" RIGHT NOW AS WE HEAD INTO THE OVERWHELMING AND UNKNOWN TERRITORY OF CREATION WITH THIS ECLIPSE.

Things occurring now may "ignite" and take on a life of its own as it hurtles us toward the future. And we thought the protests were the epitome of that!



On a personal eclipse and Mercury retrograde note, WATCH THIS SPACE!


Aries: Look for dramatic, ground breaking events to happen in your home or family. The very roots of your identity are going to be challenged as you are given an opportunity to get clarity about what your beliefs really are and opportunities to develop the courage and bravery that your evolutionary path demands.

Taurus: At this time, be aware that your words and ideas may travel farther and faster than you intended, for good or ill. Your local environment is requiring that something inside you changes and you may find that your perception of the people closest to you goes through radical changes as you grow and enter a new way of living.

Gemini: Finances are going to be as predictable and reliable as a carnival game. You could win big with unprecedented opportunities to build your wealth and resource building or you could lose mightily because of circumstances beyond your control. Understanding the nature of your ambition is your greatest challenge right now.


Cancer: Issues of identity and family or tribes becomes everything right now. Hard decisions have to be made with no guidance from the external world. Like a hermit crab, you are growing and now at your most vulnerable as you begin to discard the old shell of identity and reach for a new, better fitting one.

Leo: Dreams and intuition are at an all time high now. Pay attention, listen, take notes and take heed. Charity and charitable works are calling you and you are being urged to share and give where it is needed to folks who have the least ability to repay you for your kindness. The small act of kindness is bigger than you think.

Virgo: Civic duty and your commitment to community and the groups you belong to are about to take major turns and shifts. You may find yourself in the unexpected position of leadership or championing others at this time.

Libra: At this time, re-inventing yourself professionally and publicly will dominate your air space under these aspects. Major, unexpected changes of directions in these areas of life can be expected. Authority figures or parents may be permanently removed from your daily operations under these auspices.

Scorpio: You will find yourself in a position to teach from your experience and help guide other people to higher, safer ground during troubled times. Your role as mentor, guide and teacher should not be underestimated or treated as an ego trip. You are needed for the wisdom you have gained from your most humbling experiences, not your ego flattering ones.

Sagittarius: Credit, debt, shared finances, insurance and support from others will go through some serious and abrupt twists, turns and changes with these aspects. Make sure your insurance covers fires of all kinds, including mechanical failure induced fires.

Capricorn: Marriage, divorce or the return of long, lost loves are suggested at this time. Major changes in the playing field where important relationships are concerned are spotlighted and unpredictable right now. Take the lead of other people lead to get through this with the most benefit.

Aquarius: Pay attention to any weird or unusual presentations that you notice at work, in your body or with your pets. Small things are heralding major changes and events that are asking for you to notice and pay attention to them.  This is an important time to clean up your habits in your every day life.

Pisces: Creatively, you may find that something unlocks and gives you the keys to a whole new kingdom. Go with your internal prompts for creative risks. Somewhere in there is the tip of an important iceberg that you can feel safe standing on for support.



Venus station direct 5 Gemini, and the love of people.

June 25, 2020 is the date that Venus stations direct at 5 Gemini. It makes a beautiful trine to Saturn (still retrograde) in Aquarius. When Venus goes direct, we can expect some uplifting and relief from something, somewhere or someone! Venus rules the things that bring us pleasure, after all. In this particular instance, because of the proximity of the station to the Mars ingress into Aries a few days later, look for a heightened "mating and dating" energy to fill the airwaves at this time with more emphasis on friendly flirtation rather than actual consummation. This is not the typical game playing Gemini or Aries energy that likes to flirt just to get feedback or validation that they are attractive - this is the light, flirtatious joyous energy that wants 'Other' to know that you see them, you acknowledge them and you think they are 'mighty alright-y' in their estimation. Its a socially stimulating, validating and heart warming kind of feel good flirty social interaction where everyone understands there's nothing deep, serious or sinister meant. Its like the European air kiss you give as part of a greeting. Its given and meant for only the lightest and most innocent of meanings.

Best of all, the return of a sense of humor will spread faster than COVID-19 and be appreciated alot more by the recipients of it. Things that are favored now include shopping for beauty/art related goods, home and self improvement transformations, social activities (wear your masks!), and generally being able to enjoy people more appreciatively and generously than we have been able to in a while.

In the USA, the current word as of today (6/15/20) is that no future financial assistance will be given to the citizens suffering the economic impact of the pandemic but this decision may change when Venus goes direct while Mercury is retrograde. As with all things astrological, time will tell. For everyone, some financial relief from unexpected sources, even in small amounts or small sparks of an idea are likely at this time. Keep the faith!

In your own chart, we can expect some pressures to be lifted and some sources of frustration to get some assistance or forward motion BUT Mercury is STILL retrograde during this so whatever we get now may be temporary or only part of what will be delivered later. Some days, even the smallest of victories and gains make all the difference in the world. Practicing heartfelt gratitude in the optimistic sense is the only way to get the remaining good from this delivered later.


Never forget that ingratitude kills generosity from people and the Cosmos. Be grateful with an optimistic knowing that you are loved, you are getting what you need in the long run, and every little bit matters even if you can't see the big picture yet.

Of note, this Venus station will coincidentally is the degree that the Sun was at on *George Floyd's last day on earth. Some of the relief we may be seeing may be in direct connection to this case and what it symbolizes.

Aries: Good news should be burning up the wires getting to you! Look for some promising information or communications that will benefit you to arrive around this day.

Taurus: Finances get a boost! Great finds at flea markets and yard sales or appraisal of old items may reveal an antique or collectible gem in your possession!

Gemini: Look for a better reception from other folks where your long range goals are concerned now. Networking turns up surprise helpers!

Cancer: Expect things you thought had long forgotten about or thought was lost forever to suddenly reappear. 11th hour saving graces are in effect thanks to angels and ancestors right now.

Leo: People who want to invest in a relationship with you are easier than ever to identify now.
"Mending fences" with siblings, neighbors and online communities will be easier and long term beneficial.

Virgo: Kudos and appreciation for your quiet contributions to your primary working environment are on their way to you right now. For you, and all you do, you can now expect unexpected 'thank you's.

Libra: Uncertainty in important matters is finally coming to an end. Compromises and solutions you can live with are promised now and creative contracts that offer benefit in the future will be presented.

Scorpio: Allies, supporters and financial bonuses will appear right now. These may be partial investment or support but they are part of what is possible. Gratitude is the attitude to have.

Sagittarius: Helpers and cheerleaders find their way to you by phone, car and mail. Expect a surprise boost of happy, helpful and positive feedback from folks you respect to appear.

Capricorn: Housekeeping, de-cluttering and lifestyle improvements will also improve your financial bottom line. There's a feng-shui magic in cleaning house, physically and mentally. Use it now and benefit.

Aquarius: People are sending you love for all those parts that you don't or can't love in yourself now. Allow it to wash over you and fortify you in all your broken places. Healing and support begin here.

Pisces: Improvements in home or the other foundations of your life are making forward motion now. Watch for beautiful, beneficial changes that are the tip of a larger iceberg possible later on.

Mars enters Aries and the t-square combustion engine driving the eclipse train

Mark this day on your calendar. June 27, 2020 at 4 pm EST. We may be seeing this Mars ingress into Aries just before it actually enters Aries. This day and the following are high tension days. Be aware, be careful and be prepared to use de-escalation techniques when and where you can.

June 28, 2020 brings us to the final major aspect of the month. Mars in its own sign and conjunct the Aries Point is a pretty potent position to be in. Brash, bold, impetuous, simplistic, and quick to enter confrontation with a "might makes right" attitude. Domination of their playing field of choice is always their first and singular goal. They will be recognized and respected as a force to be reckoned with from the moment they are challenged. As a result of this, we can expect this Mars ingress into Aries to be as loud, attention getting and calming as a child care center full of screaming, crying toddlers having simultaneous tantrums.

So here's the thing - managing these energies and the environments we find ourselves in is the real key to survival. If anyone has any "de-escalation" skills, NOW is when those skills will have a litmus test to see just how effective they can be. If you aren't trained in de-escalation of crisis situations, BEFORE NOW would be a great time to organize community education so that every citizen is familiar with how this works and the techniques for employing them. De-escalation techniques are common and required training for everyone who works in mental health fields. It is easy to learn, takes practice to master and can be effectively used by anyone sincere about improving a situation, not escalating it into more violent conflict.

When done properly, de-escalation techniques are more powerful than any lethal force used because it leaves us with something to build from, rather than destroying lives and eliminating any possibility for improvement or change in the bigger picture. And without improvement or change in the bigger picture, all we are doing is inviting a later repeat of what we just went through.

This video https://vimeo.com/224486014 is focused on dealing with veterans who are in crisis and de-escalating the situation but the techniques used here apply to everyone who is not in an altered level of consciousness because of drug use.  

This Mars transit will carry us through the rest of the year into January 2021. This means that we will be dealing with challenging, conflict escalating energies throughout as Mars squares the Cancer planets in the immediate months following and then, finishing with squares to the outer planets in Capricorn. This will not be easy, simple or fun but it will bring to full bore the need to draw a line in the sand dividing wants from needs in life and the requirement of decisive action not complaining and suffering.

Remember, martyrs are only loved after they are dead so quit your bitching and get on with finding solutions instead of feeling sorry for yourself.

The areas of your life that will carry the most "lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way!" requirements will be where you find this Mars. REMEMBER this Mars aspect right now represents MONTHS of activity and hot, fiery, action and decisive energy in your personal life moving forward. This is the first in a long series of celestial rail cars in your personal life where Mars in Aries is housed. The initial breakthrough is now, and the months that follow will be the process that you must participate in or get run over by the speeding train as it moves down the tracks of your life.

If you know your time of birth and have exact houses, look for where 0-30* Aries will fall. If it travels across two houses, expect this activity to involve both houses, one followed by the other.

For those of you who don't have a correct time of birth, solar equal houses work just fine too. Use listing below by looking at your sun sign and also, your moon sign if you wish.

Aries - Everything about who you are, what your life represents, and how you see yourself is on trial right now. You will be challenged from every direction as part of a distilling, clarifying process regarding your identity and self image. Rise to the challenge or live in humiliation and mediocrity for the rest of your life. Being true to yourself is the greatest act of bravery, at all.

Taurus - You believe in commitment so much that getting you to change your mind or opinion about something is akin to asking you to casually toss money into the air and hope for the best. But during this part of the future unfolding, you will be forced to re-examine and transform your core and fundamental perceptions, repeatedly until you are transformed and free of damaging illusions.

Gemini - The bonds of love are stronger than blood. "Tribal" affiliations are under fire for you and will remain a source of contention and conflict until YOU decide what you stand for and who you stand with. Hopes, goals and dreams happen with the help of sympathetic spirits and kindred souls. Find your people and discover your future.

Cancer - Expect every corner of your world, identity, relationships, public life, private life to be under siege from a Cosmos that wants to detonate you out of your old ways of living, believing, acting, performing. Chaos begins now but so does liberation Decisions must be made. Make them.

Leo - Anything coming under the umbrella of higher education, foreign affairs, long distance traveling, publishing, legal matters or spiritual mentors is under hot lights right now and should be treated with the utmost respect and commitment. People are watching your responses. Rise to the challenges and secret doors will be opened later. Fail to elevate and it will be constant, meaningless conflict for nothing.

Virgo - The support you give and receive from others undergoes dramatic transformations as your values get challenged, your ability to manage your resources get tested and your ability to stand on your own as well as share with others is brought front and center. Life priorities are under revision now.

Libra - If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything. This Mars transit signals the beginning of the end of many of your relationships as it becomes time to be honest, take a stand and commit to it. Relationships built on cheap or convenient compromises of integrity will come to no uncertain ends now.

Scorpio - Hygiene and organization, will undergo some radical changes as you may be forced to re-examine how you have not been fair to yourself and where your habits have not been optimal compared to the demands on your life. Over the future months, optimal changes will begin with radical changes.

Sagittarius - This is going to be an unpredictable ride starting now and until Mars leaves Aries. Matters of the heart and what or who you truly love must be addressed, especially estranged loved ones because fate is going to force the issue for you. Your connections with them may prove to be your lifeline or undoing in terms of security and protection before this Mars transit is over.

Capricorn - Family and domestic obligations will become a single point of focus that will not be denied right now and the strain on your primary adult, personal relationships will undergo a significant stress test and call for grace and forgiveness between you. Survival and becoming a stronger, leaner, more functional unit is possible also but it will require tempering the impulses to try and dominate the vulnerable who depend on us, from our own places of fear.

Aquarius - Your views, perceptions and ideas about how to move forward in life will be beaten into form like a samurai sword beaten into the sharpest, hardest steel possible through the most tedious, repetitive and carefully controlled examination and application possible. This time is about developing mastery and integrity.

Pisces -
You are not a materialistic person but now, without hesitation or doubt, you will be moving mountains, hell and high water to establish and protect revenue streams for yourself and your future. Like a fisherman, cast as many lines as possible with deliberate choice and intention. Before this transit is over, it is possible that one small fishing line catches a whale instead of a fish.


This is not a test. We ARE in an official "break the glass" fire drill. Keep reading.


One of the interesting and confusing things right now is that there doesn't seem to be an obvious connection with the transits for George Floyd's murder and what has become GLOBAL protests. This may be because the celestial map is there but it may require a different chart calculation than we typically use and it could also be that the indications of how this might snowball would show up more precisely in comparing the transits of that moment to the USA chart. What we DO know is that this occurred within 72 hours of the new moon in Gemini. This new moon is important because we knew that whatever this new moon promised was also be a preview of what we can expect to deal with throughout the summer. Lo and behold, this turned out to be no exception and so yes, we can expect this conflagration of moral outrage about police brutality, corrupt protection and hiding of misdeeds by power abusing police officers as well as the final cry to move past the old world of toxic male dominance and fantasies of racial supremacy to continue its snowball of social transformation, beginning here in the USA.

Other interesting sidebar notes about the New Moon in Gemini from May 2020:

Gemini rules police officers. (Sagittarius rules the law).

Gemini rules cell phones and cameras.

Gemini rules journalism and news. (Sagittarius rules papers and information that must undergo rigorous approval and does not change or get replaced easily or quickly. Scholarly vs topical)

Gemini rules the common man, the 'average Joe'.

Gemini rules the streets and sidewalks of neighborhoods and cities.

Gemini rules youth.

Gemini rules communications that is swift, immediate (here and now) and in small doses (Twitter)

This new moon conjuncted Bellatrix. She is "The Female Warrior" of fixed stars. While these events haven't been obvious in its connection to women, make no mistake about it - this has been a show of feminine force (passive, peaceful protesting) standing up to toxic masculine force (violence and domination as a form of power mongering and retainment). But instead of being dainty, passive, weak flowers of femininity as we typically associate with "female" in a patriarchal world ; the female warrior - standing for something worth believing in to protect other people - is visible, powerful and leading the transformation to the demand for a better, safer world for future children.

For those of you who aren't on Twitter, there is a tremendous amount of news that you are not receiving because media outlets have limited real estate in terms of "air time" so they can't report on everything because they have (should) research, validate and confirm sources and citations for each story they deliver which means they have to pick the major, over-arching and detail confirmed headline stories to give air time too. THIS is happening right now. This is not a coincidence. This is not a drill. And for law enforcement to participate in what is a blatant cover up by ruling it "suicide" in ALL five cases, sometimes before an actual autopsy and criminal investigation was done?

If you aren't Black or another minority, this will likely escape your airwaves because it isn't on national tv yet. It isn't on national tv because what is obvious and what we can "confirm" are not the same thing and responsible journalists limit themselves to stories they can confirm, not conspiracy theory speculation - no matter how obvious it is. Support the protests. Support Black Lives Matter. If you sat passively through the inhumane and criminal treatment of vulnerable strangers seeking refuge and a chance to live safely only to find themselves having their children ripped out of their arms and adopted off to strangers without their consent and caging adults AND children like animals in over-crowded pens... now is the time for you to stop sitting on the fence as if someone else will change this trajectory. You won't get a second chance to show who you are as a person and a community member after this. Even speaking up counts. Speak up. Shut it down. Be anti-racist. It matters.


The difference between George Floyd and everyone before him? The million other straws on the camel's back before this one finally broke it.

Hold people in power - politicians, law enforcement and corporate heads - accountable for the decisions they are making at everyone else's expense to protect and support only their own comfort levels and gains. You are poor, not disposable. You are not here to serve them. They are here to serve you and the common good. People dying for the aims of someone else's personal bias or personal profit is not the common good.

Do the right thing. Be the spiritual person you claim to be when it is inconvenient, not just convenient for you. Believe in a better world and give your attention and energy to the reality that should be manifested not the doomsday scenario that the evangelists are trying to reinforce in your frightened fantasies. We will get through this together or we won't get through it at all. The Goddess has risen. The time for permanent epochal change is now.

When violence and domination is your only response to a conflict, you have already lost before the first weapon is drawn.


A moment of irony in my world


Based on painting of Judith beheading Holofernes,  from the deuterocanonical Book of Judith,

This was a photoshop art project that I did for a class and submitted to a college art show early in 2020. Naturally, the college quickly received a complaint from an "anonymous" person who also sent the complaint (anonymously of course) to the governor and the local newspaper among a list of other people you don't want to alarm. The college panicked and immediately censored the art and pulled it from the exhibit. The only people who could see the value in the art were also terrified of Trump supporters because 'dumb, angry and armed,' .... of course, so they weren't going to defend it. Better to silence me and make this disappear to appease... a coward hiding behind anonymity.

As a result of this decision, they would also then go on to become (thanks to an unwanted newspaper article about this art) an international laughingstock and symbol of censorship under the Trump administration. Articles about this censored art was literally in nearly every news outlet across the USA including some seriously small town, podunk, no one has ever heard of them places in all corners of the country. It also traveled as far as Singapore, Mexico, Canada and England as far as I can tell and definitely became a featured piece in many legal and academic journals. Now, considering how far we have been dragged down into the moral sewer since January with this President, 
I wonder how they feel about censoring me now? Was it worth committing the egregious act of censoring art in an effort to placate a coward who hides behind anonymity for THIS president?

Life lesson and timely reminder from this:

Do not support or protect cowards. They will let you fall on the sword for them every time without a single thank you afterwards for sacrificing yourself. 
There's a difference between vulnerability and cowardice. Recognize them. The life you save may be your own.
