The simplified profile of planetary aspects reaching a peak in the month of June is: 1 conjunction, 2 oppositions, 5 trines, 6 squares. This one is mirroring the classic battle between the trines and the squares.
But it should be mentioned that there is another factor which is slowly building up, and that factor is the close approach of a major aspect that will not actually achieve exactness -- namely, Uranus square Pluto. That aspect will be less than 3 degrees from exactness throughout June, less than 2 degrees from exactness throughout July, and will get as close as 1 degree 01' from exactness during the first week in August, after which it will start to slowly diverge. Since it will not actually achieve exactness, it will not appear in any aspectarian, not even ours. Nevertheless it will definitely be manifesting significantly during that entire period of time (and beyond). Aspects involving the combination of Uranus and Pluto commonly (though not exclusively) involve radioactivity or electric power in one way or another, and that leads one to wonder how close that Uranus-Pluto square was to exactness when the problems in Japan arose, beginning with the 9.0-magnitude earthquake (and its associated tsunami) and the ensuing series of aftershocks, all of which started on or very near March 11. The answer is that the aspect was approximately 7 degrees 20' from exactness at that time. But it should also be pointed out that Uranus entered the sign of Aries on that very same date, March 11. (Although Uranus had previously entered Aries on 5/27/10, it subsequently retrograded back into Pisces temporarily.) Uranus on the cusp of Aries could be thought of as a significator of sudden powerful manifestations -- which certainly fits the situation in Japan. The Uranus-Pluto square neatly accounts for the remaining nature of that whole situation.
By the way, the aspect of Uranus 1/4 Pluto will actually achieve exactness on 6/24/12 -- and also on 9/19/12, 5/20/13, 11/1/13, 4/21/14 (as part of a Grand Cross configuration), 12/15/14, and 3/17/15. Maybe the recent situation in Japan can serve as a model from which we can learn something about the kinds of things this aspect could potentially bring during those future periods of time.

The first major planetary aspect in June is Sun 1/3 Saturn, which peaks in the wee hours of the 1st. This will contribute an atmosphere which is compatible with coherence and concentration, but can also make sleeping a bit more difficult. Peaking in the afternoon, Mercury parallel Pluto facilitates conversations, speech-making, and complex thinking.
On the 3rd, Neptunian influences seem to dominate. Peaking in the wee hours, Mercury 1/4 Neptune will tend to create fuzziness in thinking, and that influence will be augmented by a longer-term factor: Neptune goes stationary-retrograde in its own sign of Pisces. This combination could unleash general confusion in every facet of life, and so this is not a good time to pursue activities that require precision and focus.
Peaking in the afternoon/evening of the 6th, Jupiter 4/9 Saturn tends to emphasize links between big and small, colorful and colorless, healthy and unhealthy -- generally without regard for any good/bad connotation, since the "4/9" aspect seems to be neutral in that respect.
Saturn goes stationary in declination early in the morning of the 7th, emphasizing the qualities of seriousness and stability. In the afternoon, Mercury 1/3 Saturn tends to direct thoughts and communications in serious, stable, rational, and coherent directions. This could be a good day to handle financial matters and study scientific theories.
Peaking in the wee hours of the 8th, Venus parallel Pluto emphasizes feelings and other facets of subjectivity. Passions are included. Peaking in the evening, Jupiter 1/6 Neptune sprinkles things with a light fuzzy quality; good for leaning back and relaxing.
Peaking in the afternoon of the 9th, Sun parallel Mercury emphasizes communications, both written and spoken. Conversations proliferate.
Venus 1/4 Neptune peaks in the wee hours of the 10th, breeding confusion in one's feelings and injecting imbalance into virtually anything.
In the afternoon/evening of the 12th, Sun CON Mercury in Mercury's sign of Gemini is definitely oriented in favor of making connectivities of all kinds -- thinking, talking, writing -- and including short trips. Saturn goes stationary-direct in the sign of Libra in the evening, tending to focus concentration on balancing out-of-balance matters.
(Note: The precise timings of the aspects for June 12 can be seen on the sample aspect page which is posted during the month of May at www.newstandardaspectarian.com.)
Peaking in the wee hours of the 14th, Mars parallel Pluto focuses on competition in all of its forms -- good, bad, and indifferent.
In the evening of the 16th, Mercury 1/3 Neptune harmoniously couples Mercurian qualities with those of its higher harmonic planet Neptune and tends to blend the thing-like qualities of Mercurian connectivities with the highly generalized qualities of Neptunian connectivities. (The compatibilities of this trine aspect make it much more harmonious than the Mercury-Neptune square which peaked on the 3rd.) This period of time should bring forth significant inspirations on many different subjects.
Peaking in the evening of the 17th, Venus 1/3 Saturn tends to emphasize serious feelings of any kind. Since Venus is in the sign of Gemini, this could be a good time for long-needed sincere heart-to-heart talks that had been heretofore avoided.
Mercury 1/4 Uranus peaks in the afternoon of the 18th, increasing the compatibility/probability for errors in thinking, communicating, and making connections of all kinds. If you take a trip at this time, you might find yourself headed in the wrong direction. Late in the evening, Mercury goes stationary in declination, thereby making it somewhat easier to correct any errors that were made or encountered earlier in the day.
Peaking in the afternoon of the 19th, Mercury 1/2 Pluto creates a kind of negative/reverse compatibility regarding making connectivities, etc. Combining this aspect with the Mercury-Uranus square of the 18th, we can spot the formation of a close T-Square configuration. Very stressful.
The Sun goes stationary in declination on the 21st, entering Cancer at 10:16 am PDT (1:16 pm EDT), all signifying the beginning of summer.
Still on the 21st: Mercury 1/4 Saturn peaks in the morning/afternoon, making communication tend to be serious and concentrative. Peaking late in the evening, Mars 1/4 Neptune can create stress in slippery situations, including the ones that involve slick con artists. Neptune influences figure into the next few days as well. Sun 1/3 Neptune peaks the following morning (22nd), possibly contributing inspirational dreams. And two days later (24th), Jupiter parallel Neptune peaks in the wee hours, contributing interesting, vivid, and inspirational dreams.
On the 26th and 27th, the Sun links with the close-but-not-exact Uranus-Pluto square that was described near the beginning of this article. Peaking in the wee hours of the 26th, Sun 1/4 Uranus focuses on newness, emphasizing the weird and outlandish side of life; history and orthodoxy are downplayed at this time. And then, peaking on the night of the 27th, Sun 1/2 Pluto brings out the dark side of crowd instincts, emphasizing competitiveness, argumentation, conflict, and possibly combat. These two aspects together form a close T-Square configuration, capable of producing very undesirable consequences. (Item: Mars 1/6 Uranus, which peaks in the wee hours of the 27th, is normally a harmonious aspect, but under these circumstances it may contribute an ingredient which just adds to the power of the T-Square.) (Note: The Uranus-Pluto square is less than 2 degrees from exact at this time.)
Peaking in the wee hours of the 28th, Sun parallel Mercury emphasizes thoughtfulness and communications of all kinds. Peaking about an hour later, Jupiter 1/12 Uranus creates an influence of benevolent newness. Nice surprises could result -- including in dreams; this influence is good for planning and executing projects, such as painting your house or refurnishing rooms. Peaking late in the evening, Mercury parallel Venus makes for nice conversation. And peaking in the afternoon of the 30th, Sun parallel Venus focuses on nice feelings. (Note: On the 28th-30th, the Sun, Mercury, and Venus are forming a triple parallel configuration.)
