“How easy it is for so many of us today to be undoubtedly full of information yet fully deprived of accurate information.” – Criss Jami

Thanks to intellectual Mercury’s confusing square to space cadet Neptune, in muscular he-man Aries today (8:18 pm), it could be that trying to sort out fact from fiction may be just too much of a heavy lift to even bother ourselves about now. Especially since we also have Mercury deposited in maudlin, cry me a river Cancer!

On the other hand, since Waning Luna is still deposited in cynical, show me the money Capricorn, for most of the day (at least until 8:18 pm), there still may be a small ray of hope that we will be able to – against all Kalshi odds – courageously navigate through all the abundant cumulus clouds wickedly colluding inside our coffee cup and somehow prevail. 🙂

On This Day in History: 

On June 3, 1967, Aretha Franklin’s cover of the Otis Redding’s song “Respect” reaches #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Astrologically, that day, abundant and expansive Jupiter was newly ensconced in entertainment Leo, at one degree of the sign, and artistic, feminine-ruling Venus, at 27 degrees of sensitive Cancer, was applying to a conjunction with Jupiter, a configuration that is perceived to be very lucky or propitious. (We have it coming up on June 9th!)

Also, the empowering Sun in Gemini was sextile to enduring Saturn in pioneering Aries (which is also an aspect that we just had yesterday). Harmonizing Sun-Saturn aspects often add staying power to matters.

The song’s empowerment message resonated deeply during the 1960s civil rights and feminist movements, cementing its place as a protest anthem. (Wikipedia)

Hope it’s a good one! Please be safe and well.
