Cosmic Watch:

Luna is in nurturing, protective Cancer today favoring matters on the home front and activities with family. Security issues may loom larger now. Excellent time for self-care.

In the News: Pilots for the low-cost American carrier Spirit Airlines went on strike Saturday.  This strike action comes on the heels of fiery Mars moving through the work sign of Virgo and separating from a quincunx to aviation ruler Uranus deposited in Aries, which Mars rules.

News Update: A massive effort is underway to clean up the damage left behind when a Chevron pipeline reportedly leaked up to 21,000 gallons of oil into Salt Lake City waterways Saturday. Restrictive Saturn is exactly quincunx again to Neptune, ruler of oil and water.  Saturn is also in cleanup Virgo!

Event in History on this date: On June 13, 1967, Thurgood Marshall was nominated as the 1st black Supreme Court justice. In the sky that day, transiting Mercury, governing thinking and decisions, was in nurturing Cancer, and exactly square to pioneering Mars in Libra, the sign that rules the Supreme Court.

Usually with strong Mars aspects, there are new beginnings and new developments for the sign in which Mars is transiting through. Squares also force action.

The transiting Sun in idea Gemini, too, was coming off of a square to both Uranus and Pluto conjunct in introspective Virgo, further suggesting the collective would possibly be grappling with some kind of transformational (Pluto) changes (Uranus) that could also involve issues of equality (Uranus).
