A Weekly Astrological Look Ahead with Soul-Work Journal Prompts
Hey Soul Seeker,
This week is all about growth through discomfort—those moments where life pushes you to choose between staying safe or stepping into something new. It starts with a big shift: for the next 12 years, the universe is asking us to nurture what truly matters—our homes, families, and deepest emotions. But first, we’ve got to clear the air. Tough conversations may come up, especially around old wounds or commitments that no longer fit. Midweek, a powerful Full Moon lights up a turning point—do you play it safe, or trust your gut and take a leap? By week’s end, unexpected shake-ups could push you out of ruts you didn’t even realize you were stuck in.
The theme? Release what’s holding you back, even if it’s familiar. This week’s energy isn’t here to coddle you—it’s here to propel you. The discomfort? That’s just your soul expanding.
Your takeaway: Stay open, speak honestly, and don’t resist the changes asking to unfold. Clarity is coming—but first, a little chaos..
P.S. Keep reading for more details on how to work with the energy of the week.

Day by Day Breakdown
Monday June 9th, 2025
*Mercury (Cancer) square Saturn (Aries)
* Venus (Taurus) square Pluto Retrograde (Aqua.)
* Jupiter Enters Cancer (until June 2026)
* Mercury (Cancer) square Neptune (Aries)
Overview:
Today kicks off with intense but fated energy. First, Mercury in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries, pushing us to have hard but necessary conversations—especially about family, security, or buried emotions. This isn’t just small talk; it’s about speaking truths we’ve avoided. At the same time, the Scorpio Moon forms a YOD formation (also called the “Finger of God”) with Chiron in Aries and Jupiter in Gemini. A YOD is like cosmic lightning—it points to a destiny moment where small actions can trigger big, life-changing shifts. Here, the Moon pushes us to face emotional wounds (Chiron) so we can grow (Jupiter).
Later, Venus in Taurus squares Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, stirring up power struggles in relationships or finances. Another YOD forms, this time with the Sagittarius Moon as the apex, pulling in Mercury in Cancer and Venus in Taurus. This YOD asks: “What’s truly worth holding onto for security, and what’s holding you back from freedom?” It’s a tug-of-war between comfort (Taurus) and growth (Sagittarius).
Then, Jupiter—the planet of luck and expansion—moves into Cancer for the first time in 12 years, where it’s exalted (aka extra powerful!). For the next year, blessings will flow wherever Cancer sits in your chart—think family healing, home abundance, or intuitive gifts. But today, Jupiter also gets pulled into the YOD energy, meaning opportunities might arrive in unexpected, fated ways.
Finally, Mercury squares Neptune, bringing confusion or miscommunication. Neptune blurs reality, so avoid rash decisions. If things feel unclear, wait—until the energy brings more clarity.
A Simple YOD Explanation:
A YOD (or “Finger of God”) is a special astrological aspect shaped like a green triangle. It happens when two planets are 150° apart (a quincunx) and both connect to a third planet (the apex). YODs mark pivotal moments where small choices have big consequences—like a cosmic crossroads. The apex planet (today, the Scorpio and Sagittarius Moons) shows where destiny is nudging you to act, even if it feels uncomfortable.
Healing Opportunities & Actionable Steps:
1. Release Emotional Baggage
With Mercury in Cancer square Saturn in Aries, old wounds around family, security, or self-expression surface.
Healing Action: Write down one buried emotion, then voice it aloud (even to yourself). This breaks Saturn’s “silence equals safety” illusion.
2. Transform Relationship Patterns
Venus square Pluto exposes power struggles in love or money.
Healing Action: Ask: “Do I cling to unhealthy bonds just because they’re familiar?” Then, set one new boundary (e.g., “I won’t justify my needs”).
3. Embrace a Fated Turning Point
The YOD formations (especially with the Scorpio/Sagittarius Moons) signal destiny at work.
Healing Action: Notice synchronicities—repeating numbers, unexpected calls, or déjà vu. Say “yes” to one intuitive nudge, even if it scares you.
4. Invite Abundance Through Vulnerability
Jupiter’s entrance into Cancer blesses emotional honesty.
Healing Action: Light a candle and declare: “I am safe to grow where I’m nurtured.” Then, do one nurturing act (e.g., cook a family recipe, call a loved one).
5. Surrender the Need for Perfect Clarity
Mercury-Neptune square blurs facts, but intuition thrives.
Healing Action: Instead of overanalyzing, pause and ask: “What does my gut say?” Trust the first answer.

Shadow Work Tip: Shame grows in isolation—but dissolves when brought into the light. Writing your truth (even if you burn it after) is alchemy.
1. When did I first learn that speaking my truth was unsafe? How does that silence still live in my body?
2. What toxic relationship pattern do I keep repeating because it feels ‘familiar’? What would it cost me to break it?
3. What pain have I romanticized as ‘just part of my story’? How would my life change if I released it?
4. Where do I shrink my needs to avoid seeming ‘needy’? What if my desires are divine breadcrumbs?
5. What lie have I told myself to avoid facing a hard truth? (Example: ‘I’m fine’ when I’m not.)
6. What’s one way I self-sabotage my freedom ‘for security’? Is it actually keeping me safe?
Tuesday June 10th, 2025
* Mars (Leo) trine Chiron (Aries)
Overview:
Mars in Leo Trine Chiron in Aries: The Fire of Healing
This Tuesday, Mars (ruler of action and assertion) in bold Leo forms a harmonious trine with Chiron (the wounded healer) in Aries—a cosmic conversation about identity, courage, and deep healing. Since Mars rules Chiron, this aspect is a powerful pact: The heavens are urging us to confront the wounds tied to who we are, how we show up, and where we shrink from our truth.
“As above, so below”—this alignment mirrors an opportunity for radical self-acceptance, but not without vulnerability. The bravest thing you can do right now? Call yourself out on your B.S. Dig into the ego’s defenses: Where have you been performing instead of embodying your authenticity? What outdated stories are you clinging to? This trine supports undoing these patterns with fiery compassion.
Mars Square Uranus: The Disruptor Awakens
Meanwhile, Mars clashes with Uranus (the cosmic disruptor), sending shockwaves through our sense of control. You might feel:
- A gritty restlessness—like something needs to change now.
- Emotional tremors—old fears or frustrations surfacing without clear words.
- An urge to act impulsively to reclaim autonomy.
Lean into the discomfort. Uranus shakes us awake, and Mars in Leo demands we honor our truth without apology. This week isn’t about neat resolutions—it’s about courageous honesty and trusting the chaos as part of your metamorphosis
Healing Opportunities & Actionable Steps
1. Heal Identity Wounds (Mars in Leo trine Chiron in Aries)
Opportunity: Release old stories about “who you’re supposed to be” and reclaim your authentic self.
Actions:
- Journal Prompt: “What part of my identity feels wounded or unworthy? Where did this story start?”
- Mirror Work: Stand in front of a mirror and say: “I release the need to prove myself. I am enough as I am.” (Notice resistance.)
- Leo Energy Play: Do one thing today purely for joy (dance, create, wear something bold)—no justification needed.
2. Radical Self-Honesty (Chiron’s Call)
Opportunity: Spot where your ego masks fear with excuses.
Actions:
- BS Detector Exercise: Write down 3 ways you’ve been avoiding a truth (e.g., “I stay busy to avoid feeling __”). Burn the paper as release.
- Shadow Work Question: “What trait do I judge in others that I secretly fear in myself?”
3. Use Discomfort as Growth (Mars square Uranus)
Opportunity: Let disruption reveal where you’re clinging to false control.
Actions:
- Uranus Shake-Up: Change one routine today (e.g., take a new route, say “no” to autopilot yeses).
- Emotional Surge Practice: When frustration arises, pause and ask: “What’s the deeper need under this reaction?” (Then take one small action to address it.)
4. Channel That Fiery Courage (Mars in Leo)
Opportunity: Turn restlessness into purposeful action.
Actions:
- 5-Minute Brave Act: Do something you’ve postponed out of fear (send that email, speak up, Share your story, etc.).
- Power Pose: Stand like a lion (hands on hips, chin up) for 2 minutes before a challenge.

Shadow Work Tip: Your deepest emotional triggers are often signposts to unhealed parts of your soul. When someone or something irritates you, it’s usually because it mirrors a disowned aspect of yourself that you’ve been unwilling to acknowledge or love.
1. Where am I performing strength instead of admitting vulnerability? What would happen if I let others see the raw, unedited version of me?
2. What old narrative about myself (e.g., ‘I’m unlovable,’ ‘I must be perfect’) no longer serves me? How would my life change if I released it today?
3. When I feel angry or restless (Mars-Uranus), what deeper need is begging for attention? How can I honor it without self-sabotage?
4. What childhood wound still echoes in my adult choices? How can I reparent myself in this area with fierce compassion (Leo energy)?
5. What sudden disruption or ‘failure’ in my life actually saved me from a path that wasn’t mine? How can I thank the chaos?
6. If I gave myself full permission to stop caring about ______ [others’ opinions/society’s rules/etc.], what would I do differently tomorrow?

* Sagittarius Full Moon
* Mercury (Cancer) sextile Venus (Taurus)
Overview:
The Sagittarius Full Moon arrives as a pivotal moment of truth, illuminating the path between where you’ve been and where your soul is calling you to go. As the culmination of intentions & seeds set at December 1st, 2024’s Sagittarius New Moon, this Full Moon delivers a potent mix of clarity and urgency, and it is squared by the Nodes of Fate—pushing you to release overthinking (Virgo South Node) and tap into your intuition (Pisces North Node). With Jupiter in Cancer opposing the Moon, tension arises between your thirst for adventure and your need for emotional security, but the fiery trine to Mars in Leo fuels the courage to take the leap anyway.
Meanwhile, Mercury in Cancer sextile Venus in Taurus offers grounding energy, helping you articulate your deepest values and sensual desires, while the Fire Grand Trine (Moon-Mars-Chiron) ignites bold action to align with them. This is a day of karmic choices: Will you cling to false safety, or will you trust the journey, even without all the answers? The stars whispers: Growth lives in the balance between your wings and your roots.
Healing Opportunities & Actionable Steps
1. Release Overthinking, Use Intuition
(Sagittarius Full Moon square Nodes of Fate)
Opportunity: Break free from analysis paralysis and surrender to soul-led guidance.
Actions:
- Journal Prompt: “What decision have I been overcomplicating? What does my gut say to do?”
- Ritual: Write down 3 “logical/illogical fears” holding you back → Burn them under the Full Moon.
- Practice: Spend 5 minutes in meditation asking, “What does my higher self want me to know?”
2. Balance Adventure + Emotional Security
(Jupiter in Cancer opposite Full Moon)
Opportunity: Honor both your wanderlust and your need for safety.
Actions:
- Create a “Soul Compass” List: “3 ways I can explore/expand while feeling held or supported.” (e.g., travel but book a cozy Airbnb).
- Shadow Work Question: “Where do I equate ‘staying small’ with ‘being safe’?”
3. Activate Courageous Action
(Fire Grand Trine: Sagittarius Moon → Mars in Leo → Chiron in Aries)
Opportunity: Channel fiery energy into bold, identity-affirming moves.
Actions:
- Leo Energy Practice: Do one thing today that makes you feel alive (sing loudly, wear bold colors, pitch an idea).
- Chiron Healing: Stare into your eyes in a mirror and say: “I am allowed to take up space.”
4. Define Your Pleasure & Values
(Mercury in Cancer sextile Venus in Taurus)
Opportunity: Align your daily life with what truly fulfills you.
Actions:
- Sensory Grounding: Engage all 5 senses (e.g., savor herbal tea, touch soft fabric, listen to nature sounds) → Note what sparks comfort and joy.
- Values Check: “Does my schedule reflect my priorities? If not, what’s one thing I can adjust?”
5. Surrender to “Not Knowing”
(Sagittarius Moon’s lesson)
Opportunity: Trust the journey without a detailed map, it’s part of the adventure says Sagittarius!
Actions:
- Affirmation: “My intuition is my GPS. I release the need to control every step.”
- Practice: Take one small step toward a dream without over-planning.

Shadow Work Tip: Your resistance to pleasure (Taurus) often mirrors your resistance to receiving abundance. The more you allow yourself to enjoy simple, sensual joys without guilt, the deeper your trust in the universe grows
1.What dream have I postponed because I’m waiting for ‘perfect conditions’? How does staying ‘safe’ actually limit my soul’s growth?
2. Do I use ‘comfort’ (Taurus) to numb myself from taking risks? What sensual joy could I invite in that aligns with my expansion?
3. Where does my overthinking (Virgo South Node) stem from? What if ‘not knowing’ is part of the magic?
4. What bold action have I avoided because it would force me to own my power? How can Mars in Leo inspire me today?
5. What recurring life pattern is the Nodes of Fate asking me to release? What would freedom look like here?
6. If my intuition (Pisces North Node) screamed one truth at me right now, what would it say? Why does that scare/excite me?
Friday June 13th, 2025
* Sun (Gemini) square Nodes of Fate (Pisces/Virgo)
Overview:
As the Sun in Gemini squares the Nodes of Fate on June 13th, 2025, we encounter a profound crossroads between eclipse seasons. This pivotal alignment invites us to make choices that resonate with our soul’s purpose rather than just logical thinking. Where Mercury initiated mental clarity last week, this Sun-Nodes square demands heart-centered decisions that could reshape careers, life paths, or personal authenticity. The universe whispers a potent message: true growth requires surrendering the need for certainty. With the North Node in Pisces, we’re guided to embrace the unknown—releasing perfectionism to follow intuitive nudges toward what genuinely lights us up.
Supportive cosmic energies amplify this transformational moment. The Sun’s sextile to Mars in Leo injects bold confidence, empowering us to act on long-held dreams. As we approach June 24th’s Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer—a beacon of expansion—opportunities for abundance will emerge through synchronicities and open doors. Yet first, the Sun’s square to Saturn and Neptune (June 22-23) presents a crucial reality check: while Saturn demands disciplined action, Neptune dissolves limiting fears, teaching us to balance effort with faith.
This energetic configuration offers a powerful formula for evolution: courageous action + surrendered trust = meaningful breakthroughs. As Jupiter prepares to bless our journey, the question remains—will you heed the call to step into your next chapter? The universe has aligned to support those willing to move beyond comfort zones into soul-aligned possibilities.
Healing Opportunities & Actionable Steps:
1. Align With Your Soul’s Path
The Sun’s square to the Nodes highlights where your choices may be out of sync with your deeper purpose. This is a powerful moment to course-correct and step into alignment.
Healing Action: Journal on the prompt: “Where am I choosing logic (Virgo South Node) over my intuition (Pisces North Node)? What would my soul urge me to do?”
2. Release Perfectionism & Control
The North Node in Pisces invites you to surrender the need for certainty. Growth happens when you trust the unknown.
Healing Action: Light a candle, take 3 deep breaths, and declare: “I release the need to control how this unfolds. I trust the journey.” Notice where resistance arises—this is where your shadow-work lies.
3. Act On What Lights You Up
The Sun sextile Mars in Leo fuels courage. That dream you’ve been avoiding. Now’s the time to take the first step.
Healing Action: Do one bold thing this week that scares but excites you—share your work, book that trip, or speak your truth.
4. Invite Abundance with Jupiter
The Sun-Jupiter conjunction (June 24th) brings luck and expansion. Your job? Stay open to receiving.
Healing Action: Write 3 wishes on paper and place them under your pillow or in a manifestation jar. Say: “I welcome unexpected opportunities with gratitude.”
5. Commit + Surrender (Saturn/Neptune Square)
Saturn demands discipline, Neptune dissolves fear. The lesson? Do the work, but release attachment to how it unfolds.
Healing Action: Shadow-work prompt: “What ‘hard thing’ have I avoided out of fear? How would my life change if I trusted my inspiration?”
Journal Prompts:
To work with the energy of the skies, use these journal prompts.
Shadow Work Tip: Shadow work isn’t about “fixing” yourself—it’s about reclaiming the disowned parts of your being to become whole. The more you integrate your shadows, the more authentically you can align with your soul’s path or life’s purpose.
1. What decision have I been avoiding because part of me fears the ‘right’ choice? What does this reveal about my deepest insecurities?
2. Where do I demand perfection to feel safe? What childhood or past experience taught me that ‘good enough’ wasn’t acceptable?
3. When have I chosen control over trust? What would my life look like if I fully believed the universe supports me?
4. What lights me up but feels ‘too selfish’ or ‘unrealistic’ to pursue? Whose voice (parent, society, past me) is calling it ‘wrong’?
5. What bold action have I delayed because I fear judgment? Whose approval am I still seeking, and why?
6. Where am I clinging to rigid plans (Saturn) while ignoring my soul’s whispers (Neptune)? What would surrender feel like here?
Sunday June 15th, 2025
* Mars (Leo) square Uranus (Taurus)
* Jupiter (Cancer) square Saturn (Aries)
Overview:
Today’s astrological weather brings two powerful squares that will push us toward transformation. First, Mars in Leo squares Uranus in Taurus, creating an energetic clash between our need for stability and our soul’s cry for liberation. These two planetary disruptors – Mars the warrior and Uranus the awakener – are meeting in fixed signs, which means we’re being asked to examine where we’ve become too rigid. While fixed signs naturally resist change, this energy demands we break free from whatever has been keeping us stuck. This is especially potent coming just days after the Sun’s square to the Nodes of Fate – the actions we take now will set a new trajectory. Mars in Leo urges us to shine boldly, while Uranus in Taurus reveals where we need to revolutionize our values and daily routines.
Simultaneously, Jupiter in Cancer squares Saturn in Aries, creating a push-pull between expansion and restriction. Jupiter finds its exaltation in Cancer, meaning our greatest growth opportunities now lie in emotional security, home life, and self-nurturing. Yet Saturn in Aries – where it’s less comfortable – reminds us that even our biggest dreams require disciplined action. This tension mirrors the process of childbirth, where contraction is necessary for new life to emerge. We may feel frustrated by perceived limitations on our time or resources, but this is actually forcing us to focus on what truly matters.
The key is to recognize where you’ve been resisting necessary changes out of fear. What habits or situations no longer align with who you’re becoming? Where do you need to trade comfort for authenticity? This is a day to take one brave action toward your liberation, even if it’s small. Remember, the universe only disrupts what’s ready to be transformed. Trust that on the other side of this energetic pressure lies a more authentic version of your life.
These transits remind us that sometimes we need to break in order to bloom. The discomfort you may feel today is evidence of your soul’s expansion at work.
Healing Opportunities & Actionable Steps:
1. Break Free from Stagnation (Mars-Uranus Square)
This clash between Mars in Leo and Uranus in Taurus reveals where you’ve been clinging to false stability. The universe demands courageous change.
Healing Action: Identify one area where you feel stuck (routines, relationships, or self-expression). Take one bold action today to disrupt it (say “no” to something draining or try something new that scares you).
2. Reclaim Your Authenticity (Mars in Leo)
Mars in Leo exposes where you’ve dimmed your light to please others. Your soul craves unapologetic self-expression.
Healing Action: Write down: “I’ve been hiding ______ because ______. Today, I honor myself by ______.” Then do that thing (even small acts count).
3. Revolutionize Your Values (Uranus in Taurus)
Uranus shakes up what you prioritize. What once felt secure may now feel confining.
Healing Action: List 3 things you’ve outgrown (habits, beliefs, or relationships). For each, ask: “Does this align with who I’m becoming?” Release one.
4. Grow Without Burnout (Jupiter-Saturn Square)
Jupiter in Cancer wants emotional expansion; Saturn in Aries demands focus. Balance is key.
Healing Action: Choose one area to grow (family, creativity). Set a timer for 20 minutes daily to work on it—no more, no less.
5. Transform Frustration into Fuel (Saturn in Aries)
Saturn’s “time crunch” is a test: What’s truly worth your energy?
Healing Action: When impatient, ask: “Is this delay a roadblock or a redirection?” Trust the timing.
6. Nurture Your Roots (Jupiter in Cancer)
Jupiter’s expansion in Cancer thrives through emotional safety.
Healing Action: Create a “nourishment list” (people, places, rituals that make you feel held). Commit to one this week.
Journal Prompts:
To work with the energy of the skies, use these journal prompts.
Shadow Work Tip: Your shadows aren’t flaws—they’re unintegrated strengths. Anger can be passion in disguise. Control can be a call for self-trust. The work isn’t to ‘fix’ them, but to reclaim their power.
After journaling, place a hand over your heart and whisper: “I meet these shadows with compassion. They are my teachers.”
1.What change am I resisting right now? What’s the deepest fear underneath my hesitation?
2.Where have I dimmed my Leo fire to make others comfortable? What would it look like to shine unapologetically?
3.What’s one area where I cling to control (Taurus) that’s actually stifling my growth (Uranus)?
4.When I say ‘I don’t have time’ for something important, what am I really prioritizing instead?
5.Where do I crave more abundance (Jupiter in Cancer) but feel undeserving? Where did this belief start?
6.What’s one ‘hard truth’ Saturn in Aries is trying to teach me about my priorities?
