Rare Planetary Alignment in the Sky during the "butt crack of Madonna," Friday Morning and Over the Weekend!
Daily Horoscope for Friday, June 24, 2022
If you wake up really early in the morning Friday, Saturday, or Sunday you will be in for a very rare treat! Five planets will be in a spectacular alignment in the pre-dawn sky!
Plus, today is the last day of our sale! (shop announcements are at the end of this newsletter)
Rising in the East you’ll be able to see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. The Moon makes a beautiful debut between Venus and Mars, kind of standing in for Earth. This is a rare alignment that hasn't happened since 1864 and won’t happen again until 2040, so if you can, try to catch a glimpse of it! You can read more about it here.
I knew about it, and forgot about it this morning. Even though I woke up before sunrise, I still missed it! So, set your alarms! I am going to try for tomorrow. The Moon will still be between Venus and Mars, just a little closer to Venus. All five planets will be visible in the sky from about 4:45 am until 5:45 am ET, and about 4:45 am until 5:54 am Pacific.
So, what is going on today? Well…
The Sun is still in a SemiSquare to Uranus in Taurus, and the Moon meets up with Uranus today around 5:48 PM ET—so, this energy could start to feel more personal. Remember (from yesterday’s newsletter?), that this energy could make you feel like revolting against something in your life, but we want to practice patience because with this being a SemiSquare aspect, nothing can really come of your efforts and that could be frustrating.
For example: even after I wrote the horoscope yesterday (and was really aware of this energy), I found myself on the phone with Stamps.com pleading my case to the technician for them to refund my account. They charged me for several payments all at once because I was behind on them, and then when I went to cancel the account, they offered me a free plan, which was not publically advertised on their website. So I could’ve avoided all the charges in the first place if the company had been upfront with their offerings—I felt that this was a good reason for the refund, but they did not— and they rejected the refund request! :(
It was an effort to try to break free from the constraints of the charges, but the fight was for nothing; I got a null result. Being frustrated about something and trying to change it, but being unsuccessful, is basically a textbook SemiSquare! When I got off the phone, I was like, “duh!” I knew that they were unlikely to grant me the refund because it was just not in the stars right now, but I tried anyway…so classic. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up! Sometimes it’s harder than it looks to, “Follow the Astrology,” even when I am aware of it and writing about it every day!
So, the Moon is joining this energy today, which may make things feel better, maybe not, depending on your particular situation.
The Moon is exalted in Taurus, so she has some essential dignity here and by tomorrow morning will be making a nice sextile to Neptune. So, this evening could feel a bit more dreamy and less aggravating than yesterday or today, especially if you plan on getting up at the “butt crack of Madonna,” to see the planetary alignment (check out this newsletter if you missed the origin story of that phrase!). Let’s not miss this one!
There is a lot of crazy astrology coming up with the Uranus, Mars, and North Node conjunction happening at the end of July and three planets going retrograde over the summer: Neptune on June 28, Jupiter on July 28, and Uranus on August 24; not to mention that Mars enters Gemini on August 20 and doesn’t leave until March 2023! We will be discussing all of these as we get closer to them, but just be aware that we are in for a ride this summer!
This beautiful alignment could prove to be one of the best highlights of 2022, so get up early, take a few pictures, and savor the moment of peace, because these planetary transits coming up may herald a very different sentiment.
Let’s pick a card for the day:
6 of Swords
In the Motherpeace (above), the picture is of six women, holding swords and roses, flying high above a ring of trees, uniting in harmony to gain a new perspective. Looking at the situation from up above and getting a glimpse of the bigger picture.
This card simply means taking a new perspective on things.
In traditional tarot (the Morgan Greer Deck pictured below), it is a picture of someone in a boat leaving one shore to go to the next and it means leaving our sorrows behind and setting out towards a new life.
Both of these cards represent taking new perspectives not previously considered and integrating all the information that’s being gathered all at once. It’s a willingness to look at the whole; the big picture, and in an objective way.
So, this card is reminding us to keep the master plan in mind and look at things in a holistic way.
I hope this was helpful. I would love to know if you wake up early this weekend and see the alignment! Leave a comment or reply to this email newsletter. :)
Until tomorrow’s weekend report,
AstroMommy
Today’s horoscope was brought to you by: the alignment of five visible planets, Moon in Taurus conjunct Uranus and SemiSquare the Sun in Cancer, and some future events.
Today’s card was pulled from the Motherpeace Round Tarot Deck available on Amazon here. And the Morgan Greer Tarot Deck is available here.

Both of these cards have me curious...one is people freefalling, with swords- I can't help but think of what the end of the fall looks like. The other is leaving your sorrows behind...stabbing your boat 6 times with swords... who does that?
