6/27 aka 27/6: Closer to the Edge of August
Who says you can't still have fun without a proper drum kit?
The Celestial Weather for the second half of June was not pretty, and was never going to be smooth sailing: a Solstice characterised by a Double Square between the Sun and Jupiter in Cancer, to Saturn and Neptune hovering at the start of Aries.
Plus a bunch of other celestial turds that can at best be made smooth if not slightly shiny: Mars Squared Uranus, and we had Pluto in a Finger of God to both Sun-Jupiter and Mars. Tense and unfamiliar territory would be the best archetypal description — another would be a Test of Faith: Saturn being what tests, Jupiter being the Planet we generally associate with a sense of ease about the future.
Jupiter can now rest largely easy in Exaltation in Cancer, and that is our home base for the next 12 months. Because while Jupiter does that, we have an EPOCHAL alignment between the four outermost slow moving Planets.
Three are in place: Saturn and Neptune at the start of Aries, Sextile to Pluto at the start of Aquarius. We wait for Uranus to move into Gemini in two weeks, and we will have a MINOR Grand Trine: the most harmonious and supportive alignment a combination of Planets can have, all at the start of a new Tropical Signs.
This configuration will be present in different forms until 2028, with August our official initiation into whatever this New Archetypal World Order promises (all diggers with Planets in the first handful of Degrees of a Sign will be getting the adrenaline kick, although particularly the six “Masculine” Signs). This is when Mars moves Opposite Saturn and Neptune in Libra, and in doing so, Mars will form a SECOND and now MAJOR Grand Trine to Pluto and Uranus, which forms what in Astrology is usually called a “Kite” formation, but could also be seen as a heavenly Bow being drawn.
I pegged early August as the most significant time of the year in January, and it still looks that way. So, for some fun, here is a wholesome haiku countdown: set to a fitting song I have been conveniently using to improve my stick speed with.
WOMBAT DISCLAIMER: YES: I know Jared Leto is somewhere on the problematic end of the Celeb Spectrum, because of course I know that I know his chart inside out, and it might be second favourite only to the Orange Moonchild. I choose to separate the Art and the Astrology from the Artist, particularly when the drums slap.)

So I laughed at your last update. Jupiter Exalted... for Virgo Rising: opening your home. Moi? Not happening. Doors are locked shut to others, human or otherwise. No more critters. I dreamt of fewer critters as they age out. And actively trying to re-home the ponies.
I was lonely for a long time. Now I embrace my solitude, wrap myself in it, bask in it.
Except...3 chicks. I wasn't going to get chicks. I was going to get 2 pullets of a few months old to add to my tiny flock, just to keep the eggs flowing & Roody content.
Somehow instead I am now sitting by 3 1-week old chicks in a brooder next to my rocking chair. Gah!
The emotional fortitude has most certainly been tested lately. My boyfriend's father watches news constantly. It has been harder than usual to tune out the propaganda and even harder to not let the vicious liestream effect me emotionally. I've started saying peace within mantras out loud to counteract.
