Weekly General Astrology Forecast June 16 -22 2025

Create space for something new

Warm up, don’t burn out

Happy solstice birthday, Cancer!

Mars arrives in Virgo this week (17^th). And while there’s a feeling of making up for time lost during its retrocycle, we also need to resist the need to rush. Certainly, scattering our energy, trying to multitask or failing to pay attention to the details, will only result in us feeling depleted, frazzled and overwhelmed. And can also see us having to go back and do something all over again to fix what we didn’t do the first time.

If we have taken on too much, Mars in Virgo can force us to slow down or stop. The most common way it can do this is ‘burn out’. And this doesn’t just include the feelings of being overwhelmed and exhausted that we associate with doing too much for too long. Mars burn out in the sign which rules health can have us ‘burning up’ – via us catching a virus which raises our body temperature. This is a typical Mars red light.

Hopefully we are going for the sustainable approach. One where we go the distance. This doesn’t just apply to the work we do (paid or unpaid). But in the house of health and fitness, think ‘warm up’. Mars in Virgo encourages us to get moving. But not to skip the preparation. If you do you can find yourself susceptible to injuries – sprains and strains. Again, heed Mars and warm up and also cool down properly.

This is an excellent Mars transit for tackling stubborn tasks on that To Do list, escaping that rut, establishing healthy boundaries (with your habits and with others – such as saying no to your demanding boss), seeking new work, working from home, decluttering (Mars doesn’t do sentiment), and creating a healthy, active routine. One that sticks. Do it and do it now, especially on the 22^nd when Mars perfectly aligns with newly arrived Jupiter in Cancer. And keep in mind that at the end of the month, Mercury, which rules Virgo as well as Gemini, will enter its pre-retrograde shadow. No excuses. No rush. Just consistency and pacing.

Birthday sign of Cancer – this is your biggest, most expansive cycle of opportunity that you’ve experienced in 12 years. New beginnings, the ability to go further and also to to make your biggest and boldest impression yet, are on offer thanks to Jupiter now in your sign. Many of you may be travelling, moving home, taking that escalator to success or literally seeing dreams come true in the coming year. No, you can’t simply sit back and treat Jupiter as if it were your Fairy Godmother. But if you are willing to do your part, then simply take it that Jupiter helps those who help themselves in heaven-sent ways.

All signs now need to look to their home, lifestyle and living arrangements. Does it offer you room to grow? There are more ways than one to create this other than physically moving into a bigger place. Although during its transit through Cancer, Jupiter may offer this opportunity to many. As the Sun in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries (22^nd), look to how you can create more space in your life so that what you need can move into it. This can range from being open to ideas and alternatives for living and living better. To getting rid of what you no longer need or use. Especially if this is tied to a version of you from your past. Often it’s what the items represent that we cling to rather than the objects themselves. But in doing so we stop something new and better from entering. Because it simply doesn’t have room to. You’re not letting go. You’re creating space. Nature and Jupiter especially, abhors a vacuum. It won’t stay vacant for long.

In a nutshell: Happy Solstice Birthday, Cancer! It’s the start of a brand new 12 year cycle for you. Expansion, solutions, travel and opportunities are waiting to be let in. And all signs need to clear the way for them to enter this week!
