Starcodes for the week of June 5-11, 2026
This week can feel like a layered cake with a lighter, fluffy layer on top with a middle layer of old memories, clear thinking, and urgent work, all over a base of deeper work on our evolving world. But first we may need to repair some interpersonal confusion, fuzzy-thinking, or water damage left over from last week’s Mercury-Neptune square.
Jupiter expands whatever it touches; this week it conjuncts romantic Venus in Cancer and expands our love of security, beauty, a love of being loved, love of home and homeland. Look for them glowing beautifully together in the west just after sunset. Offer beloveds non-demanding affection and extra assurance, fluffle the dog’s ears consciously, and feed people good food. A picnic could do wonders.
It furthers to improve our home environments, Cancer loves a cozy home, and talk about what really makes our home and homeland wonderful. Though we can expect very different views on this subject.
Be warm but honest, it is important to keep social expectations clear and unambiguous, but not harsh, communicate clearly rather than make assumptions. That Venus-Jupiter conjunction can turn the volume up on our emotions and our relationship expectations and leave people easily hurt if they feel unloved or rejected. These Cancer planets warm our softest heart and leave us feeling squishy inside but also heightens hard-shell crab-like defenses and where we don’t feel safe, which can leak into irrational domestic violence or attacks on women. Be safe first and foremost.
On that next level down, we have decisions to make this week. Watch for bureaucratic entanglements or detailed processes that don’t need us to throw a fit, they just need patient follow-through as thoughtful Mercury moves into a square with rigorous Saturn. Underneath that summery vacation vibe we could find transportation tedious, feel pressured to make decisions, or just need to work out the nuts and bolts. This aspect can give our minds extra dogged tenacity, just watch where the brain latches on. If we don’t like how our thoughts perseverate, we can’t just tell our brains to let go; instead, give the dog another bone and choose something lovely to concentrate upon.
This support for decisiveness and love together make this a good time for proposals, weddings, artistic commitments, and goal setting for our collective evolution. Underneath this layer are the ongoing year-long big climate and political changes that will percolate all summer long. Keep up the good work.
Friday, June 5: Travel safely and clarify understandings as Mercury separates from that Neptune square. Slowly feel energy returning from a sense of lassitude, haziness, or overwhelm. Work with others to improve the surroundings as the community-oriented Aquarius Moon conjunct Pluto, or ponder how that can be done; we’ll feel more hopeful if we’re doing even one small thing together. We may also be called to say goodbye to old relationships or systems and take on a new challenge. Take some of the vision which has been focused on the world at large and bring it back home over the weekend as the Moon today in Aquarius, conjunct Pluto. The evening is still collaborative and communal rather than personal, but we need to nurture home and connections in the days ahead.
Moon sextile Saturn 8:50 AM, Moon square Mars 9:59 AM, Juno retrogrades 3:54 PM. Moon trine Sun 1:50 PM.
Saturday, June 6: Run errands, deal with details, connect with strangers this morning: engage the constructive, cooperative, ambient buzz. Don’t worry about completing things, just make progress. The day grows more personal as the evening approaches, bring attention back home rather than with the group and connect with those close to the heart as the Moon enters sensitive Pisces. Be sensitive in the best of ways, be fed by subtle things. A late-night discombobulation or unsettled mood is just the Moon squaring Uranus, and not some great fault line in our life, don’t read more into it than is actually there.
Moon enters Pisces 6:42 PM, Moon squares Uranus 11:21 PM.
Sunday, June 7: Deal with issues around nourishment, ask what nourishes the soul and our relationships. Investigate food sensitivities and preferences, listen to what the body craves, not just on the surface but deep in the cells. Look at food supply problems around the globe and ask how we can help that flow as the Moon trines Mercury, conjuncts the north node and the asteroid Ceres squares. Feel nourished by the world.
Moon trine Mercury 1:14 PM, Moon square Ceres and conjuncts north node, Ceres squares the nodes, Moon sextile Mars 11:15 PM.
Monday, June 8: Our edges grow so sensitive as the Pisces Moon trines Venus and Jupiter. Love and fondness are easily fed by small actions that show real presence. Balance self-care with the care of others and be careful around those deeply disappointed by life. Exposing a bit more vulnerability nourishes relationships unless it just traps with expectations- we need to stay self-responsible and spacious. Generosity furthers. Leave the big actions for tomorrow.
Moon square Sun 4:00 AM, Moon trine Venus 5:04 PM, Moon trine Jupiter 6:38 PM.
Tuesday, June 9: The mood is brash and confusing, the Aries Moon brings action, impulsiveness, and the impulses may be good. Just don’t make serious decisions precipitously because they won’t be easily reversed. Early morning can bring confusion, check facts as the Moon conjuncts Neptune; instead of assuming, wonder what people really meant. Feel the heartfelt creativity, connection, and odd emotional defense as Venus conjuncts Jupiter this afternoon. Mercury square Saturn so decisions we make today will have consequences and won’t be easily reversed. The universe may call on us to choose a path. Balance logic and heart and help them work together. Love more – but love spaciously.
Moon enters Aries 2:33 AM, Moon sextile Uranus 7:07 AM, Moon conjunct Neptune 10:04 AM, Moon sextile Pluto 11:55 AM, Venus conjunct Jupiter 1:58 PM, Mercury square Saturn 11:38 PM.
Wednesday, June 10: We could experience emotional mood swings, sudden impulses, rebelliousness, and potential breakthroughs. Show affection through positive action and concrete support as the Aries Moon conjuncts Saturn and squares Mercury this morning. Give people room to be spontaneous as the Moon sextiles the Sun and squares Jupiter this afternoon. Share enthusiasm, not instructions.
Moon conjunct Saturn 1:29 AM, Moon square Mercury 1:39 AM, Moon sextile Sun 1:28 PM, Moon square Jupiter 11:51 PM.
Thursday, June 11: The Taurus Moon calls us to pragmatic tasks, steady work helps even out emotional mood swings as the Moon approaches as square to Pluto midday. Watch for logistical arguments in the news and minor arguments around where to put things at home. Work around power struggles or minor arguments, don’t debate every little thing even though it’s tempting to do so. Do wrangle logistics to create more room for the heart. Implement a new creative process, household improvement, or garden aesthetics.
Moon square Venus 2:21 AM, Moon enters Taurus 6:27 AM, Moon square Pluto 3:07 PM.
