June 2025 is a month of deep recalibration, transformation, and sacred pause. We’re navigating Kalasarpa Yoga, a powerful Gandanta crossing of Venus and Mars, and two emotionally potent lunar phases—each one illuminating a different layer of our psyche, karma, and soul purpose.

Venus Leaves Pisces: Gandanta Fire Awakens (May 30)

Venus’ transition from Pisces into Aries on May 30 marks a significant karmic threshold known as Gandanta—the knot between water and fire signs. After months of emotional processing, Venus begins a bold new cycle of action, courage, and creative rebirth.

This is a vulnerable, beautiful passage. She’s unraveling emotional baggage and reclaiming her voice and sensuality.

Support practices:

  • Heart and Sacral Chakra healing through breathwork, rose or sandalwood oil
  • Artistic expression through writing, painting, or dance
  • Mantra practice such as Om Shreem Mahalakshmyai Namaha to invite grace

Mars Enters Leo and Joins Ketu (June 5): Watch the Flames

Mars moves into Leo on June 5 and conjoins Ketu, creating a combustible, karmically charged conjunction. This intensifies the ongoing Kalasarpa Yoga—when all visible planets fall between Rahu and Ketu, forming a serpent-like alignment across the zodiac.

Kalasarpa brings forward ancestral and collective karma. The Mars-Ketu conjunction can heighten emotional volatility, impatience, and ego-driven decisions if not handled with spiritual maturity.

Suggested support:

  • Practices to stabilize the Manipura and Root Chakras, such as core-focused asana and grounding rituals
  • Cooling pranayama (such as bhramari), simple diet, and emotional processing rituals
  • Deep inner fire work to channel power into devotion rather than reaction

June 11 Full Moon in Scorpio: Release, Reveal, Renew

The Full Moon in Scorpio reveals what’s been hidden—whether pain, fear, control patterns, or emotional suppression. But it also offers release. This is an initiation into emotional liberation and courage.

Scorpio relates to the Svadhisthana chakra—the well of our creativity, emotions, and sensual memory.

Recommended practices:

  • Womb clearing or pelvic breathwork
  • Journaling on old betrayals or unresolved feelings
  • Castor oil packs, warm baths, and chanting to support deep emotional detox

Kalasarpa Yoga: Karmic Crossroads

Throughout June, the Kalasarpa alignment invites you to notice what is being stirred at a karmic level. This is not just personal. It’s collective. The urge to control, to split, to polarize—these are temptations of this time. But so is the opportunity to embody spiritual maturity.

Grounding rituals are essential:

  • Walking barefoot, earthing, breath-led movement
  • Mantra japa to anchor your mind and energy
  • Digestive clarity with herbs like triphala and ginger-tulsi infusions

June 25 New Moon in Gemini: Fresh Air for the Mind

This New Moon joins Jupiter, Mercury, and the Sun in Gemini, a sign of intellect, communication, and duality. It offers a fresh beginning in how we think, speak, relate, and interpret the world.

This is a powerful time for:

  • Launching creative or educational projects
  • Initiating a new communication practice (journaling, mantra, public speaking)
  • Understanding your inner dialogue as a sacred frequency

Supportive tools:

  • Vishuddha (Throat Chakra) toning and chanting
  • Nasya therapy with brahmi or eucalyptus oil
  • Alternate nostril breathing to balance mental activity

Venus Enters Taurus: Beauty Returns (June 29)

As Venus returns to her own sign at the end of the month, there is a return to grounded pleasure, sensual rhythm, and aesthetic appreciation. After such a karmically intense passage, this is a much-needed breath of ease.

Honor this shift with:

  • Sensory nourishment: food, music, scent, and gentle touch
  • Loving-kindness meditations or restorative yoga
  • Yoga Nidra to rebuild Ojas and reawaken joy

June 2025 is not for bypassing or sleepwalking through life. It asks for participation, purification, and alignment. With Rahu-Ketu active, Venus crossing thresholds, and Mars igniting the fire of karmic action, the inner work becomes non-negotiable.

This is a month for deep listening, clear intention, and sacred simplicity.

Let your body be your guide. Let your breath be your teacher. Let your practices hold you steady in the swirl.
