About Juno in Astrology

Juno is an asteroid in astrology, and there are tens of thousands of asteroids, and each connects to something different. Many are simply names, but some like Amor connect to specific energies. 

In the case of asteroid Juno, this is the asteroid of commitment. Juno shows how we express commitment and our attitudes around it, and in transit, we can see this via the Zodiac sign Juno is touring, and the natal house it's touring in your natal chart.

Impact of Asteroid Juno in Cancer 2023

Juno spent about 1 1/2 months in Gemini, which quickly voices vows of commitment and sees this as a contract. Cancer, on the other hand, is focused on emotions, and becomes emotionally invested in the commitments it makes, and once it is, it's there to stay.

Juno in Cancer can make us more emotional about commitment, which can make us take it more seriously. We won't rush into it too quickly, but we can let emotions guide us to the commitments we make, to people, projects, plans, and ideas. 

Juno in Cancer can help us be more invested in commitment, but this can come with some subjectivity, and we may struggle with seeing things clearly. We may need to work on taking a step back and seeing situations as they are, and not getting lost in what we feel.

Cancer rules our home and family, so we may be more committed to projects at home, to those we think of as family, and to our communities. We may have loyalty to where we grew up, but we need to make sure we're not being too closed-minded about it.

Juno tours Zodiac sign Cancer for almost 2 months, from June 22nd to August 15th 2023.

Important Juno in Cancer Aspects:

Juno in Cancer will only conjunct (align with) one of the other planets, and that's Mercury in Cancer on August 28th, so it's early in the transit on Juno in Cancer, and both are early in sign.

Mercury is the planet of the mind and communication, so Juno conjunct Mercury means we're much more focused on commitment, alliances, and mediations. We can come together with ideas and plans, and we can talk things over.

We may commit ourselves to new ideas and plans, and we can quickly move on these if we feel invested both emotionally and mentally. This can be a great merging of the heart and mind, and we can move through with ease.

Juno in Cancer will oppose Pluto in Capricorn on August 13th 2023, and this can bring out major struggles over power and control in commitments. Some may break apart as a result, and there can be little wiggle room in the opposing narratives and positives.

We likely need to work on opening up our minds, but we may be convinced that we're right and don't need to budge. This may be correct, but it can come at a price, and fights may just have to be dealt with as they come.

I'll also note that Venus, the planet of love and relationships, is retrograde starting July 22nd 2023, so in the middle of Juno in Cancer, and this can throw some challenges in the way of commitment. Venus and Juno don't aspect each other in Cancer, but with love being challenged, commitment may be stalled and takes longer to get there, or requires one to get through a hurdle first.
