A lively, not to say erratic and edgy start to the month comes courtesy of Mars in argumentative Gemini colliding with sparky Uranus and across from determined Pluto on the 4th and 5th. A day later it will all fizzle out as Saturn brings realism and restrictions to bear.
The Cancer Sun for three weeks would prefer peace to conflict, and happy-home times rather than too much racing around. And while the month will not offer much rest and relax opportunities, there should be better times coming around mid month and just after.
Andre Barbault, the French astrologer’s much vaunted Bread Basket with Jupiter opposition Pluto tied into Uranus and Neptune runs between the 17th and 20th. While I am leery of getting overly optimistic in these troubled times, it could bring unexpected, significant and lucky changes.
The final ten days sees the Leo Sun enter with a flourish, content to know that the enthusiasm and good fortune of Jupiter will be giving the sunny, entertaining energy a boost. Pluto may put a minor damper on the show but overall it should be upbeat.

OUTER PLANETS
Jupiter in Leo until from July 1 2026 to July 2027 – socially outgoing, confident, brave and boastful.
Saturn: Saturn in Aries from May 25th 2025 for the first time in 29 years. There will be a need for grit, self-reliance, initiative, patience and resourcefulness. It can lead to selfish behaviour on the part of some and a lack of cooperation since the tendency will be to pursue an independent course. Though Neptune close by may soften its effect bringing more sympathy for those in need.
Uranus: From April 26th 2026 into Gemini staying until 2032. Inventive, multi-tasking, technological advances.
Neptune in Aries from late April 2025 till 2039 (with a brief retrograde back into Pisces from late October to late January 2026) can prompt individuals to submit themselves to a bigger cause than themselves. In the past it has led to an increase in individual rights and advances for disenfranchised people. When back in Pisces it reprises the mood of the past decade plus with conspiracy theories running rampant.
Pluto in Aquarius from late November 2024 till 2044. Can be enlightening, fosters social movements and equality, changes outlooks and attitudes, brings intense discussions and scientific advances.
