General Daily Insight for June 11, 2024

Our deepest urges can feel almost overwhelming on a day like this. Gentle Venus sextiles healing Chiron first thing, encouraging us to lead with an open heart. Contrastingly, feisty Mars squares revolutionary Pluto at 9:21 am EDT, pushing us forward with an intensity that can burn us and others if we don’t take careful care to be considerate. The Moon will encourage kindness when it trines Chiron, but surprises may still be in store when it squares rebel Uranus. Take each moment as it comes.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Everything may seemingly cost more than it should, even things that are usually free. A tough angle between your ruler Mars in your materially focused 2nd house and Pluto in your social 11th house could turn your normal fun into something that requires a bit more thinking and compromise. If price tags loom large or you feel insecure in your financial status, then the last thing you’ll want to do is throw down cash! Be willing to tell people where your limit is.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

Your ambitions can be so overwhelming that they intimidate even you. While you might sometimes take an easier approach, you’re currently burning hot with warrior Mars in your sign! That heat may wound you when the red planet punches intense Pluto in your goal-oriented 10th house. This could enable you to push a few people out of the way in your race to the finish line, so beware of any negative temptations to snag unfair advantages. People will remember how you acted in victory.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

Your brain is moving faster than ever, but the destination is still uncertain. Your creativity is off the charts while enthusiastic Mars tumbles through your fantastical 12th house. Still, the combustible square between Mars and Pluto in your boundless 9th house could leave you unsure how to channel that energy. So many things seem plausible, and you may want to dive right in. Wait! Chances are high that you’re missing something vital. Look before you leap — and think a great deal, too.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Your popularity is rising, but you’ve possibly got more serious things to deal with. Everyone wants a piece of you while Mars marches through your communal 11th house, but that excitement takes a turn for the complicated when Mars squares Pluto in your private 8th house. You may need to deal with some difficult financial or relationship issues that are the opposite of what your friends had in mind, but you probably won’t be able to put these important matters off much longer.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

The people you partner up with may have ulterior motives. You’ve got your eyes on the prize with ambitious Mars in your 10th House of Occupations, urging you up the ladder of success — but watch out! Mars is snarling at nefarious Pluto in your 7th House of Relationships. A business partner may not have your best interest at heart, or perhaps an important contract contains unfair clauses or stipulations you ought to address. Take steps to avoid being taken advantage of, even unintentionally.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Exploration is emphasized by the cosmos, but that doesn’t mean it is the only thing on the table. The planets are stirring up extreme energy as Mars in your 9th House of Expansion picks a fight with intense Pluto in your 6th House of Analytical Improvement. This could create some struggles at the office or similar spots, perhaps by shoving aggravating co-workers or demanding clients into your face. More exciting adventures will probably have to wait while you handle these potholes.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

Today is all about pleasure — and how far you’re willing to go to get it. A tough square between Mars in your sensual 8th house and Pluto in your passionate 5th house could have you pinging back and forth between playing for keeps or keeping things casual, regardless of the specifics of the connection at hand. If love has nothing to do with it, then you may be dealing with immediate financial matters while more creative or fun pursuits call your name.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

People can push your buttons all too easily, whether they mean to or not. Everyone has an opinion or agenda while Mars moves through your relationship sector — and those schemes take on an unsavory edge as Mars squares extreme Pluto in your emotional 4th house. Even if they don’t mean to ruffle your feathers, a few kerfuffles are all but unavoidable, so it may be wise to take some space for yourself. Taking some solo time couldn’t hurt, either way.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

The path ahead is full of potholes. The skies overhead may be clear, but the stars are storming as Mars in your responsible 6th house makes a harsh square to power-player Pluto in your busy 3rd house. This makes it ten times more difficult than usual to handle everything on your plate! People may stand in the way of your efforts, or maybe your car breaks down or something else upends your productivity. Beware burnout — of yourself or your technology.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Fun arrives at any moment — but it won’t come cheap. Excitement is on offer while Mars dances through your 5th House of Recreation, but as Mars argues with alchemical Pluto in your 2nd House of Material Security, there are likely some financial strings attached. Be wary of throwing your money around like confetti just because you want to enjoy yourself! Being responsible may not always be the most fun activity, but doing so ASAP should save you a headache down the line.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

Your emotions are subject to a unfair amount of stress today. There is a tough combo overhead as aggressive Mars in your sensitive 4th house squares off against sharp Pluto in your immensely personal 1st house, bringing up feelings and thoughts that you may not have even realized were inside you. This angle can make things seem extremely worse than they are in reality, so be wary of reacting to things in a way that blows them out of proportion. A thorough understanding is essential.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Watch your words with extra caution, Pisces. Mars in your communications sector is going to snap at Pluto in your subconscious realm, possibly dragging hidden things to the surface. You could put your foot in your mouth more than once under this kind of alignment, especially since these two planets can make us behave very rashly. Count to ten before you say anything! If you’ve got an edgy joke or snarky comment to make, then you’d better save it for funnier skies.
