June 2020. Man, what an absolute mess of a year that was for everyone. The whole world felt like it was sitting on a fault line, waiting for the ground to really shake. I was locked down at home, staring at the same four walls every single day, trying to figure out if my work was even going to exist by the end of the summer. Bills still needed paying, but the incoming cash flow was looking drier than an Arizona desert. That kind of uncertainty really messes with your head, you know?
I needed a project. I needed something concrete to track that wasn’t just the awful news cycle. I’ve always been one of those people who messes around with those old astronomy and astrology charts—the real messy data, not the glossy magazine stuff. So, I figured, if I was going to be stuck inside, I was going to turn it into a deep dive. My sign is Virgo. So, I decided the first, and most important, thing I had to track was my own damn life against the June 2020 transit data. It was time to get practical about this hobby.
The Practice: Cracking the Code on June 2020
I started by completely shutting off all the general garbage forecasts I used to follow. Those are useless, just filler. My practice always begins with the raw motion. I dragged out the huge, messy, dusty old ephemeris books I had kicking around—not the fancy software, the paper records. I wanted to see the actual movements. The big-ticket items for June 2020 were obvious if you looked close enough.
- Jupiter and Pluto: They were hanging out together in Capricorn. That’s Big Business, structures, and power—all hitting my 5th house, which is usually creative stuff, personal joy, and risks. I knew something major was going to explode there. I wrote down, “Massive, unavoidable pressure or restructuring needed in side hustle/risk-taking area. Do NOT ignore.”
- Mars: It was moving into Aries. That’s high-octane energy hitting the money/resources zone. I flagged the first week of June as a big potential turning point for an argument or a sudden, huge expense. I made a record to watch my bank account like a hawk.
- The Retrogrades: Loads of things were backing up. I zeroed in on the Sun’s position relative to the North Node. That usually means a critical point where you have to make a choice about your life path, and the past comes back to haunt you a little.
The whole point wasn’t to write a generic prediction. The goal was to find the major turning points—the days where the energy shifted so drastically that a real-life outcome had to follow. I synthesized all that raw data and created a list of three specific dates I thought would be absolute chaos or massive opportunity for Virgos. I scribbled down the highlights in a messy, disorganized notebook with thick markers so I couldn’t miss them. I forced myself to use simple, guttural language: “Tear it down,” “Pay the piper,” “Go for it, dummy.”
The Real-Life Log: Tracking the Chaos
The prediction I was most skeptical of but logged precisely was one hitting the 10th House (career, public reputation). It looked like a sudden, almost aggressive push was going to come from nowhere to force a career change. I wrote, “Expect an unexpected, aggressive intervention regarding status/main job around June 18-20.” I figured, what can happen? I’m stuck at home, they can’t fire me over Zoom, right?
Well, let me tell you what actually went down. I watched the date approach. June 19th rolls around. My biggest client—the one who made up almost 80% of my freelance income—calls me up. Not a casual call. An aggressive, cold call.
He dropped the hammer immediately. He said they were cutting their budget by 60% immediately, and my contract was being terminated in 48 hours. No warning. No negotiation. No “let’s talk.” Just BAM. Done. The entire financial security blanket I had spent two years building was obliterated in a three-minute phone call. I literally sat there staring at my notebook, reading my own sloppy handwriting: “Expect an unexpected, aggressive intervention regarding status/main job.”
I felt the shock settle in. It wasn’t just a layoff; it was an incredibly rude and sudden removal of my primary status. It was the universe telling me I had to adapt, and I had to adapt fast. The timing was so spot-on it actually freaked me out.
I spent the next week reeling, scrambling, and trying to pull together the scattered pieces of my income. But the interesting thing? Because I had that initial warning—that scribbled note—I didn’t waste time in denial. I immediately pivoted. I stopped focusing on trying to fix the old client relationship (which was a total dead end) and poured my energy into finding two smaller, more diversified streams, just like the Jupiter/Pluto restructuring energy had hinted at.
The Takeaway: Why These Records Matter
That’s why I keep these darn records, and that’s why I share the process of creating them. The horoscope itself isn’t magic. It’s not a crystal ball telling you the lottery numbers. The practice is about logging the potential energy shifts, and then being brave enough to track the absolute chaos of real life against those shifts.
I don’t trust the generic internet forecasts anymore. I trust the rough, messy, hand-written log that told me, in June 2020, to brace for a massive, aggressive career turning point. It proved that those major planetary gear shifts are real, but you have to do the work yourself to find them and then be honest enough to log the outcome, no matter how much it hurts. It wasn’t guesswork; it was a practical, recorded prediction that played out exactly as the raw data suggested. It simply looked messy in real life. That log saved me time and probably saved me from sinking into useless self-pity. That’s the real value of these turning points.
