Jupiter, Mercury Conjunction (in Gemini) ~ Combining proof and faith
Mercury, planet of communication and commerce, comes together with philosophical Jupiter in Gemini from June 6th to 22nd, 2025.
This combination brings together planetary opposites, with Mercury focusing on the fine details, while Jupiter looks at the bigger picture. These two planetary enemies also perform very differently in Gemini, where curious, versatile Mercury is at home, while Jupiter works in a more limited and superficial way. You vary between over-analysis and broad overconfidence, and it’s hard to make a practical start until you have all your facts straight.
Mercury’s strength by sign lifts Jupiter’s level through this transit, however, and allows you to grasp a new subject when a wise teacher is close at hand to help. At best, you have wit and mental confidence, especially if you are studying academically, writing, presenting, or doing other creative work. You expand beyond your usual boundaries and apply your knowledge in new ways for fun and profit. A media project or opinion piece combines entertainment with analysis, and you can present yourself in a broad-minded and intelligent way.
Be mindful of a tendency to exaggerate, however, and check the fine print in any deal, especially if somebody tries to give you a sales pitch. June 9th brings a potential breakthrough after a period of intense study, or you receive good news that broadens your options. Keep a sense of proportion, though this is a good time to make plans based on a best-case scenario. June 21st is also an opportunity to break out of a set mental pattern, and you may surprise people with your choices.
June 7 - July 28
Ketu, Mars Conjunction (in Leo) ~ Channel your energy creatively
Ketu, the Moon’s South Node, and Mars, the planet of action and competition, come together in Leo from June 7th to July 28th, 2025.
Mars and shadowy Ketu are very different planets, though Ketu itself also has restless, Mars-like qualities that inspire you to look for meaning and inner escape. In Leo, you have ego invested in your fighting and leadership ability, though you may take a leisurely approach to work that only engages fully when there is great demand. The doubly fiery nature of this transit finds you inwardly driven, yet you may also struggle to identify the exact thing you are pursuing.
Ketu is a symbolically headless, blind creature, and you can easily become frustrated and angry from obscure emotions that come from inside you. It’s essential to operate to an overall plan and not spend all your energy moving about for no good purpose. Your concentration can easily slip, or negative impulses arising from the past can spill out and affect you in a distracting way. Be careful when exercising and driving, or using sharp or heavy machinery. These two planets enter the sign of Leo from opposite ends and move gradually closer to each other until they meet directly from July 21st to 25th, when this transit is at its height.
At this point especially, you may need a subtler approach to asserting yourself at work and in relationships, and to use psychology to influence people. Channeling your efforts in a spiritual and transformative direction promises excellent results, however, and this is an excellent time for yoga and meditation. Helping people also comes naturally, when you put your ego drive to one side and fight for a shared or humanitarian cause.
June 15 - 22
Mercury, Sun Conjunction (in Gemini) ~ Take pride in your intelligence
Mercury, the planet of the mind, is conjunct with the Sun in Gemini from June 15th to 22nd 2025.
This transit finds Mercury strong in its own sign, where you have a curious and questioning mentality that values knowledge for its own sake. Sun and Mercury also remain far enough apart not to interfere with each other’s functioning, with Mercury not being burnt up in the Sun’s glare. Together these two make Budhaditya Yoga, a combination of scholarship and teaching, where you can study, research, and create, and also have a flair for making new contacts and doing business.
In Gemini, you reveal all your mental gifts and versatility, as well as enjoying a certain detachment that sees the world in terms of pure ideas. You have the gift of making complex ideas accessible to others and can operate as a natural go-between, translator, and negotiator. The Sun shines a light on Mercury’s quest for knowledge and gives you added pride in your problem-solving ability, as well as a sharp wit and sense of humor.
Sun and Mercury receive the glance of Rahu in Aquarius through this transit, which gives you a rebellious streak and a desire to explore the unusual. You may enjoy shocking people, though also know how to blend tried-and-trusted ideas with progressive thinking. June 21st and 22nd especially offer a new solution to a long-standing problem that may involve taking a mental leap. This is a time for keeping your eyes open and doing your own research, with a healthy sceptical attitude to conventional wisdom.
June 15 - July 16
Jupiter, Sun Conjunction (in Gemini) ~ Charisma and confidence
The Sun, the center of the cosmos, comes together with grand, philosophical Jupiter in Gemini from June 15th to July 16th, 2025.
These two bodies are great planetary friends that support each other’s purposes, and their conjunction offers you natural confidence and charisma to use as you wish. Jupiter brings you perspective and generosity, while the Sun shines a light on dark and hidden places, and there may be a friendly rivalry in your circles over who has traveled the most or can tell the funniest stories. Gemini is not friendly territory for either of these planets, however, so the Sun and Jupiter’s shared love of the grand and expansive should be handled carefully.
You want only the right things in life to grow, so build slowly study with a bona-fide teacher with real credentials, and make sure your investment in education is truly worth it. This transit peaks from June 21st to 28th, though the Sun’s rays have a burning and obscuring effect on Jupiter at this point, and your spiritual sense and faith in providence may be skewed. You are tempted to ignore traditional teachings or the advice of a trusted friend in the expectation of a quick shortcut.
The New Moon in Gemini on June 25th brings Jupiter together precisely with the Sun, at an outstanding time for an academic new start. Use this moment for decision-making, and potentially also to heal from a past hurt or disappointment. From June 29th, the Sun and Jupiter sit between peaceful Mercury and Venus, when your ideas are celebrated and a trusted friend or mentor is on hand to advise you.
