This weekend a truly stellar triple line up occurs as the Moon joins Venus and Jupiter in Leo.
In a podcast earlier this month with Chris Brennan, we described this as a ‘Benefic Sandwich’. The Moon will sit between Venus at 14 Leo and Jupiter at 19 Leo, absorbing the blessings, potential and uplifting energies these two temperate* planets offer.
This creates one of the most fortunate alignments of June, and is a lovely combination for celebration, or starting something special.
Venus doesn’t officially unite with Jupiter until July 1st, but the presence of the Moon in Leo this weekend helps to connect the cosmic dots and create connection between these two bright planets.
This also creates a stunning visual shortly after sunset on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Look to the west in the hour or so after the Sun sets to witness this pretty pattern directly.
This pattern might encourage generosity, a luxury indulgence or help you create a warm connection. It’s definitely one under which you’ll be inspired to share the love in some way.
The Moon makes this connection while in the budding crescent phase, which can help with developing any new projects or partnerships. Themes of emergence and growth abound.
How are you celebrating this cosmic deliciousness this weekend?
*Part of the positive qualities attributed to the benefic planets (Venus + Jupiter) comes from their comfortable qualities, in that they have a pleasant blend of heat and moisture. The malefic planets, Mars and Saturn, have more extreme qualities (extreme heat for Mars and cold/dryness for Saturn) and as such have an uncomfortable edge to them.
