Your ruler Mercury will be spending June, July, and part of August in the sign of Cancer. That’s because he’s about to start one of his periodic retrograde journeys (this month’s starts on the 26th). Cancer is your financial sign and for some of you, Mercury’s inability to stick to a single direction will be bothersome financially. (more…)
In June, your ruler Mars joins the sun and Jupiter in the sign of Gemini. Gemini is your sign of language. It is a precise sign, picky and meticulous, all the more so when Mars visits. Don’t be dangling your participles and talking all slangy and stuff in June! (more…)
Your ruler Venus is on the move in June, zipping out of Gemini on the 2nd, dashing through Cancer, and then sliding into Leo on the 27th. Venus’s travels give us an overview of the month, with a tiny preview of July’s energies.
Venus in Gemini is concerned with your stuff, (more…)
First things first. Mercury, the language planet, spends all month in your sign. Mercury goes retrograde on the 26th, which means that it will be in your sign all the way into August. Communication of all kinds will be a priority for your solar chart for quite a while.
June’s new moon is in the sign of Gemini on the 8th, (more…)
As June opens, Pluto is edging away from his showdown with Uranus, making June hopefully a better month than May for most people. Pluto is in mutual reception with Saturn these days, and Saturn is in the part of your solar chart that rules your home and family. Pluto and Saturn together are good for doing real structural work on your dwelling, and now that some of the planetary drama of May has hopefully died down, you can get back to work on whatever important home-related projects you have in the works. (more…)
As June gets going, Pluto in your solar house of love and children is backing off from his snarl-fest with Uranus in Aries. Soon it will be safe (for awhile at least) to re-engage with your children and lovers. Saturn in the part of your chart that deals with your neighborhood is also in quite the good mood this month, making it a nice month to hang out with your near and dear ones of all kinds right in your own backyard. (more…)
On the 7th of June, Neptune stations and then turns retrograde in your solar 6th house. What does this mean? It probably means that Neptune wants you to work less or maybe not work at all! Neptune is not the most industrious of planets and he’s really not into that whole nose-to-the-grindstone thing.
Neptune in your solar 6th house also influences how you approach your health and the day-to-day responsibilities of life. In this regard, Neptune’s preferred approach is to be as vague as possible. (more…)
As June opens, Uranus and Pluto are still within spitting distance of an outright war, but slowly move away from each other as the month progresses. They may still be hissing at each other, but they’ve decided to stop actually swatting each other and retreat a bit.
Uranus is in your solar 6th house these days. The 6th house relates to things like health maintenance and daily chores. (more…)
May saw the final lunar eclipse in your sign of a series that’s been going on for more than a year. Some of you may feel the effects this month as an ending of some sort. Lunar eclipses can make a person feel kind of low for awhile, but your time of necessary personal endings is drawing to a close at last.
With the endings come beginnings; that’s the way eclipses work. May also saw a solar eclipse in the sign of Taurus, (more…)
Last month saw a new moon eclipse in your solar house of your love life, children and creativity. If you haven’t seen some sort of a new beginning in one of these areas yet, you may see one early in June.
There is also good energy in your relationship sign of Cancer this month. Mercury and Venus will visit (Mercury will actually stay a long time, due to retrograde), and the sun will enter the sign. (more…)
Last month there was a lunar eclipse in a part of your solar chart that relates to your social life and how you relate to society or to particular groups. Your involvement in something social may have come to an end, a friendship may have faded, or your circumstances may have changed in a way that means you are leaving a certain group behind. You may still be feeling the effects of that eclipse or may feel them more strongly in June.
Other parts of your social life, however, are raring to go in June. (more…)
Early in June, on the 7th, Neptune stations in your own sign and then goes retrograde. Neptune is your sign’s ruler, and is an all-encompassing planet, even an engulfing one. When it is strong in your own sign, (more…)
May should so be your month, Taurus, and in some ways it is. The sun, a new moon solar eclipse, Mercury, Venus, Mars – boy that’s a lot of energy in your sign in May. If only it weren’t for the other astrological complications of the month, like Saturn in Scorpio.
Saturn represents the limits put on you by other people. These can be good, although that doesn’t necessarily mean enjoyable. For example, there’s a lot of energy in your sign right now, and when there’s a lot of energy in your sign it can represent attention to your health. Saturn in this case would be the designated nag in your life, the significant person who cares about your health. (more…)
May is a tricky month. On a global scale, nations are affected by the square between Uranus in Aries and Pluto in Capricorn. This is the sort of aspect that can do things like get the US Congress to finally pass immigration legislation. On the other hand, it can also do things like push global tensions with North Korea to a point of no return.
For Aries, this square occurs in parts of your solar chart that are very powerful for you. This could be seen as a true power struggle, one that you might not win. Uranus in your sign is likely to urge you to act, possibly against something that seems unjust. (more…)
