Overview

Mercury in the sign Taurus is retrograde until Friday, and stationary on Saturday, resuming direct motion on Sunday. Saturn in Aquarius also slows to stationary and begins retrograde motion on Sunday. The two are in a square aspect, although the partile square is not reached, they are less that one degree from partile until Monday, June 6^th. This challenging aspect works to rehabilitate, or possibly reform the limits of law. Social media stands out as a communication tool, therefore represented by Mercury, while the limits of the electronic media is represented by Saturn in Aquarius.

Claiming the right to reinterpret or amend the constitution is the citizen’s right. These amazing coincidences seem too good to be true. The universe is in harmony with justice. Venus in Taurus is in a semi-sextile aspect with Mars in Aries, reaching partile on June 5^th, each in its sign of rulership, as friendship and compatibility coincide.
