Mercury will square Saturn at 22 degrees on June 20th. Saturn is fixing to turn direct so I expect there to be some very difficult conversations taking place over the next week. People will be sensitive and prone to feeling rejected. In some cases there will be a real rejection. In other cases, people will be parting ways for reasons that are not necessarily personal.

It’s easy to say that and while it’s easy to understand this intellectually, feelings don’t follow logic. I expect some to take news hard. This is something I understand because I’ll be in this group myself. Even when you know something should end, it feels harsh when it happens.

People who are prone to being fearful may also see this tendency manifest.  Reality and endings are not always that easy to deal with. If you have planets around 22 degrees Cardinal, you’re bound to be affected by this. Do what you can to not let negative thinking take you down.

Can you see a difficult conversation looming?

Hmm. Am feeling like this already. Seems it’s a month when extra care is required.

My Sun is at 23°Libra. I wonder what this will bring?

Yup, settlement talks and maybe more actions to be taken. Lots of sensitivity and feathers ruffled all around. With the uranus-pluto square and saturn going direct, either way there will be results. I’m welcoming reality, however delicate the process may need to be.

Ay, my Sun is at 27 Cap. My sister, who I’ve been living with for 2 years now, is preparing to move out of state for grad school. I think we’re going to have a difficult conversation about how involved I’m going to be in the move. I want to be less involved than I think she hopes I’ll be.

I’m starting to have a suspicion that extricating our lives from one another is going to be more difficult than either of us expected. :-/ She has Cap too, but at early/mid degrees, so she’s been getting it in the teeth from Pluto.

I typed up a comment, hit the button, and…into the black hole, I guess. :-/

Oh heeeell, no! Just kidding, I’m kind of excited.

Mercury will be on my natal Saturn squaring my natal Jupiter in Aries. It *is* energy, isn’t it? Many of my other cardinal planets are also involved if you widen the orb to 5-6 degrees.

I suspect the changes at work could result in a few people quitting. Or if we don’t adjust well to the changes, being fired. The higher-ups are cutting hours again and changing our responsibilities, with no input from us. Some of my coworkers are already fed up and looking for work elsewhere. I suspect at least one manager has reached the end of their tether as well.

As far as difficult conversations? I’m already seeing those happen around me.

Only thing close enough would be my Libra Pluto in the 5th at 19 degrees. Not sure what to expect? Saturn and Pluto aren’t exactly known for butterflies and rainbows when they play together, lol, but good or bad I’ll just have to deal and keep on keepin on!

I see this happening all around me. wow. June is full of hard conversations and break ups. This time building up to June 20th has been intense to say the least. Elsa, your transit watch is just brilliant.

Thanks, Burned. I am also seeing this. The conversations are stark.

This aspect coincides with T-square involving Uranus Pluto.

The Jupiter Neptune BIG FOG MACHINE I used to write about all the time, has definitely dissipated.

My moon is at 24 Libra. Saturn has been stomping all over it in recent weeks. I have alredy had so much bad news. I don’t really know what to more to expect?

I have some more possible implications.

1. Peace talks.
2. Tribal justice.
3. Plans to protect homes.
4. Thoughts of retirement.
5. Children should not stay out so late.
6. Designing a house for eternity.
7. Talk about houses that failed the test of time.
8. Save the children.
9. It may be a sad duty to go see your mother, but it’s still a duty.

Moon at 22 Cancer (square Pluto)… Last week I gave my partner of six years until the new moon to leave my home.

Elsa, your posts have helped tremendously during this earth-shifting/shattering time and I will schedule a consultation soon.

Until then, thank you for sharing your stories, insight and wisdom!

Ooh, just realized that my Moon/Jupiter conjunction is 21 Aries, so I’ll be getting hit from Mercury in Cancer and Saturn in Libra. Fun!

Difficult conversations have been happening for way too long. And now three associates are gone. If we were honest, we would admit the differences were too great and that our separation was long overdue. No hard feelings. The relationships just dissolved naturally. I can’t see the separations causing difficulties. But who knows?

On the other hand I have new positive people coming into my life. They are also a challenge, but in a good way.

Merc will be on my asc and saturn in on my 4th house cusp. Also on June 20th, the moon will be on my sun (with the sun not far off), pluto is far enough back in cappy to be opposing my sun again, and uranus is still on my mc. Yep, I can see lots of ways/opportunities for difficult conversations to crop up,

Venus in Cancer at 19,47° (9th) and Neptune in Libra at 17,00° (11th) where t. Saturn is in close orb and t. Mars is in close orb with my Saturn in Virgo (10th)…I know for sure that I’ll be saying goodbye to my tenant who will try everything to avoid the eviction order and not pay the arrears…and I’m rather angry about this

Yes I do, and it’s already starting for me. Head start? I have natal Merc square Saturn I guess.

My sun sign is Virgo, but my rising sign is Libra and my moon sign is Capricorn. In fact, the majority of my chart signs are Cardinal ones. I can say from personal experience that all of these planetary happenings (retrograde and direct) have been very trying on my nerves. And, I am looking forward to it ending soon! Watch out Scorpio people because your turn is next when Saturn (the pace-maker) moves into your sign on October 5th…for 2+ years.
