Note: All times specified are in Eastern Time Zone. Planetary alignments can be felt 1-to-2 days (or more for outer planets) prior to exact pairings. Most importantly, remember people are always the unknown variable when it comes to markets.
 
This week’s planetary moves suggest a continued lack of clarity or foggy confusion with both Mercury and the Sun at a 90° square angle to Neptune. Mental acuity and self-expression may become muddled.
 
Prepare important conversations and trading activities with care and ahead of time if possible. Double check all your work and your thoughts to get your mind clear before acting.
 
Venus enters zodiac sign Cancer early Monday. On Thursday, the Sun follows Venus into Cancer for Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
 
Famous astrologer and investor W.D. Gann considered the solstices and equinoxes trend change indicators. We might be nearing a less bullish cycle as the CNN Fear & Greed Index has recently changed from Neutral to Fear.
 
Midweek Wednesday is Juneteenth. It’s rare to have a national holiday on hump day where U.S. markets, banks and government offices are closed. This can throw off investors smooth stride despite a needed break.
 
Since the emphasis changes from mutable Gemini to cardinal Cancer energies, our focus will likely be on family, home, security, and initiating new plans for the immediate future (like summer vacation). We may be a bit emotional since Cancer is ruled by the Moon, and more inclined to protect our assets.
 
The Real Estate sector should receive greater focus in the news: changing mortgage rates, skyrocketing property insurance and imploding commercial real estate all become fodder for the media. If you own a residence and/or invest in a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), it’s a good time to review these especially after the Sun enters Cancer on Thursday.
 
Options cease trading on Thursday. Mercury makes a 60° opportunity sextile alignment to Mars on Friday, which is also Triple Witching Day. Simultaneously, there’s a Friday Full Moon at 1° Capricorn which opposes the USA’s natal Venus at 3° Cancer. Expect some volatility.
 
These combined transits infer extreme trading volumes with potential for bullish momentum. However, the business-minded Full Moon is also square Neptune, again implying confusion, disillusion, or visions of grandeur.
 
Emotions, trading and finances receive a double whammy with the Moon, Mercury and Venus all out of bounds starting Thursday, June 20. These could heighten indications toward extreme mundane events for the next 3 months.
 
Unpredictable weather, geologic and financial situations can crop up, particularly those related to water and other liquids like oil, natural gas, and hurricanes. We’ve seen this just lately with flooding in Florida. Stay safe!
 
On a positive note: as the Sun exits Gemini this week, here’s one more music theme celebrating this light and airy sign with a fun pop song titled “Gemini” by indie artist Chloé Caroline.
