Take a look at your natal chart and houses which may be affected during this June 2006 Grand Cross. What opportunities for change or awareness are coming into the forefront of your mind/life? Think about any issues which may have been swept under the rug but are now pressing you to make decisions.

Between 31 May 2006 10:07pm GMT and 12 June 2006 7:21am GMT,
we will find ourselves under the influence of a Grand Cross formed by Venus-Jupiter-Saturn-Chiron.

Grand Cross characteristics:

Opposition: Venus-Jupiter and Saturn-Chiron
Retrogrades: Jupiter and Chiron
Cardinality: Fixed signs
Maximum period: June 5th-7th

Astrological interpretation:

The Grand Cross by definition is a very dynamic and tensional configuration which has the ‘ability’ to extract all the sensitive things from our inner self (which in normal states are remaining hidden) and to bring them up to the surface. All the 4 squares forming this configuration are representing our inner conflicts and fears.

And using those 2 oppositions, the fears and conflicts are transposed in our external life. We all are able during a grand cross period to find the best ‘opportunities’ to express our inner conflicts and make a solid projections on the outer world.

In this June 2006 case we have:

- Venus square Chiron: wounded hearts, in search for healing our feelings.

- Venus square Saturn: fear of expressing our true feelings, not able to love.

- Jupiter square Saturn: expand or retreat? Make a step forward or stay and analyze?

- Chiron square Jupiter: loss of healing powers, loss of purpose and guidance.

- Venus opposition Jupiter: in search for true and pure love.

- Chiron opposition Saturn: no more time for evolving and searching guidance.

On overall, it’s hard to estimate the impact of this configuration. In my opinion, it will have a more powerful implication on the personal level regarding our life aspiration and expectations based on each person level of spiritual development. It’s a time when we must make a change in our life, to leave the past and move forward. The presence of Chiron in Aquarius and oppose with Saturn means that old structures and ideas are in need to be changed. Additionally, influences depend on the 'natal' chart's elements.
