The Ascendant, Rays, Nodes, and Aspects Influencing 19-25 June 2022
Below are the Ray, Ascendant, and Node influences as well as strong planetary aspects over the coming week. Each daily chart is cast for 8:00 AM.
Ray Influences
The 1st Ray of will and power increases its impact on Tuesday suggesting that the ability to assert oneself or to express one’s will in a positive manner becomes more effective throughout the remainder of the week.
The overall impact of the 2nd Ray of love and wisdom initially suggests that one’s ability to act with love, empathy, and wisdom may have a lesser impact this week. However, with the 6th Ray of devotion and idealism having a severely reduced effect from Tuesday through the remainder of the week, it suggests that wisdom and love may exert a stronger influence on expressions of ideology and fundamentalist devotion.
The 3rd Ray of active intelligence’s moderate impact suggests that instinct and adaptability to change are having a greater influence on our interactions with others and the ability to solve problems than it did last week.
The moderate impact of the 4th Ray of harmony through conflict suggests that the willingness to cooperate with others to find solutions will be average throughout week. And with the disciplined or logical approach to seeking truth from the 5th Ray still having a similar impact, we may still have issues with achieving a shared agreement with others.
Overall, the strong 7th Ray influence on ceremonial order throughout the week suggests that a practical attitude will influence perceptions and decisions.
The Ascendant
Cancer – A feminine/receptive sign, individuals with the Ascendant in Cancer tend to be risk-averse an are less likely to initiate new endeavors. A born nurturer, this compassionate individual takes care of family and friends but may also be given to moodiness.
Leo – A masculine sign, a Leo individual is purposeful and self-reliant. He or she is gregarious and loves to plan get-togethers with others. They prefer to lead rather than to follow but have a tendency toward manifesting pride in a manner than can lead to failure.
- Pluto R opposite The Ascendant (Cancer) – Profound change is possible during this period either in your personal or business life. Whether this works in your favor depends upon your point of view and how willing you are to understand the broader picture. (6/19-21)
- Moon square The Ascendant (Leo) – Express your concerns but be open to hearing the concerns of others as well (6/23)
☊ ☋
Node Influences
N Node: Taurus; S Node: Scorpio – a transformative combination that describes strong emotions that can lead to expressions of victimhood, and the need for a focus on a spiritual perspective that views the behavior of others as a window into one’s own issues. The challenge involves forgiving the self for judging others. With this placement, we also know what we value or desire, however, how difficult that is to achieve depends upon the balance we strike.
Aspects:
- Jupiter semisquare N Node – As your discomfort with the relationships in your life continues to increase, you may reflect on seeking out new friendships (6/ 19-20)
- Uranus conjunct N Node/opposite S Node – Something unexpected could arise that aligns you with your true nature or destiny (6/19-25)
Planetary Aspects/Patterns with a Strong Impact
Stelliums (power points)
- Venus/Pallas/N Node – You may need a new approach or strategy regarding a partner or direction (6/19-20)
- Uranus/Pallas/N Node – Something unexpected may occur that can have a powerful impact on new experiences and you may choose a different strategy that may surprise others. (6/19-22)

- Moon/Jupiter/MC – Your optimism is high and you’re willing to explore your purpose through your career in a way that honors your own individuality. (6/21)
- Moon/Mars/Chiron – With this stellium you’re able to look at how you express empathy for others that’s predicated on early childhood experiences where you may not have felt supported. With the Moon/Mars conjunction, you may not so readily be sensitive to the needs of others and remembering how you felt in that situation may be helpful. (6/22)

- Moon/Pallas/N Node – You may need to withdraw from a situation to intuitively understand the overall picture before moving forward. (6/25)

♅
Uranus ~ 10th House/Taurus (6/19-25) An unexpected situation may occur that stimulates you to reconsider how you express your need for independence either with a partner or with a work situation.

♆
