mily.  Venus and Mercury spend the second half of the month conjunct in your own sign, and the week of the 16^th, the Sun-Jupiter conjunction brings a sense of closure and completion.  It is important for you to try to slow down in the middle of the month and pay attention to self-care. Stay close to a body of water.  Then the Sun enters your own sign on the solstice on the 21^st, and two days later there is a full moon in Capricorn.  You will gain a sense of your own strength in the midst of some challenges.  Mercury goes retrograde in Cancer on the 26^th, and this will be an important stretch of Mercury retrograde for you.  Stay very close to your intuition.

LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21)  June has an odd beginning and a slightly odd end, but the middle is pretty great for you.  The very

start of June goes from you having a sense of responsibility and duty to a devil-may-care feeling that makes you spacey and silly from the 5^th to 12^th.  It’s a great week for creative inspiration, however, especially since the new moon in Gemini on the 8^th is exploding with wild and crazy brainstorms and ideas.  Then the middle of the month is about hanging out with friends and

having stimulating conversations. The Sun catches up to Jupiter in Gemini the week of the 16^th, so you will have closure on a project, ending one cycle and beginning another.  Just make sure you have fun while you do it.   The 21^st brings the summer solstice, and then full moon in Capricorn on the 23^rd.  Let the festivities continue.  When Mercury goes retrograde on the 26^th you will be thrown for a loop because communication will have gone so swimmingly until then….. Go with the flow and don’t take things personally. Venus enters your sign on the 27^th.

VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21)  At the very start of the month you quickly  go from being responsible to not giving a damn.  Enjoy that Mars-Neptune square from the 5^th through 12^th and have a good time. It is a great for creative inspiration, even if you can’t actually get a project off the ground…. The new moon in Gemini on the 8^th is really good for ideas and new perspectives.  The aspects for a couple of weeks after the new moon are very good for connecting with people, so enjoy.  Then the Sun catches up with Jupiter the week of the 16^th, bringing a sense of completion and fulfillment. Something is ending and something new is taking shape.  Allow yourself to be aware of this transition.  The nice Venus-Mercury conjunction continues through the solstice on the 21^st and full moon on the 23^rd. Again – these is a very convivial aspect so you should be having a good time exchanging ideas, making plans, and  plain old conversating. Then Mercury – your ruling planet – goes retrograde on June 26^th. Keep in mind that the 26^th itself will eb strange and unsettling, and with this retrograde pass being in Cancer, everyone’s sensitivity will be off the charts…

LIBRA (SEPT 22-OCT21)  June is mostly a month for you to kick back and enjoy yourself. You deserve it, after the last few months of intense work.   Don’t be worried by a few days at the start of the month where you’re feeling all responsible.  This quickly gives way to a Mars-Neptune what-the-hell feeling. Enjoy it – go have a Catherine Deneuve film festival or something.  The new moon in Gemini on the 8^th should stimulate lots of great ideas and inspirations… just let them bubble up. No need to act on them just yet.   The middle two weeks of the month are all about hanging out and spending time with people. Have fun and be silly.  The week of the 16^th the Sun catches up with Jupiter and we have a beautiful Sun Jupiter conjunction in Gemini.  You get to have some closure on a project. Something is done, thank effing god.  Finished. Out the door.  It’s the end of one cycle and beginning of another.  Then the Sun enters Cancer on the Summer Solstice and on the 23^rd there is a big full moon in Capricorn.  Even this full moon can’t succeed in pressuring you to do anything but hang out.  Mercury goes retrograde on the 26^th in Cancer – pay close attention to your intuition and expect your travel plans to be a mess.

SCORPIO (OCT 22-NOV 21)  After a slightly complicated start, this month is all about hanging out and enjoying people.  Really – there is a gorgeous Venus-Mercury conjunction in place for most of the month that makes you want to hang out around your dining room table with friends and family.  It’s all about talking, shooting the breeze, and cooling lots of meals that go on for days.  It’s summer and the livin’ is easy.  The fish are jumpin’ and all that…    The new moon on the 8^th has you exploding with ideas but now is not the time to put them into action.  During the week of the 16^th the Sun catches up to Jupiter in Gemini and they spend a week together. This combination is about fulfillment and completion.   You are completing some project, closing one chapter and opening another.  Then it’s the Summer Solstice, and  a full moon in Capricorn on the 23^rd.   You may have some drama with the Capricorns in your life, but the aspects are really about peace-making and community building and not about conflict.  Be a lover, not a fighter, you tell those Capricorns.  Don’t forget that Mercury goes retrograde on the 26^th.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22- DEC 21)  Oy!  The first week of June has some contradictory influences. On the one hand people are leaning on you for guidance and all your Sagittarian wisdom is on display, and on the other you are a space cadet because of the Mars Neptune square.  You just want to loll about, wander outside, ride your bike, and pick flowers.  Then mental intensity builds as we get close to the new moon in Gemini on June 8^th.  Your head feels like it’s exploding.  It is a great time to develop new plans, conceive new ideas.  Then we have a few weeks of a beautiful Venus-Mercury conjunction in Cancer.  This is a wonderful aspect for communication and you will have a really good time, talking and hanging out.  The week of the 16^th the Sun catches up to Jupiter in Gemini and you have a terrific sense of completion.  You are bringing something to fruition and what a good feeling.  The Venus Mercury action means you have little time to yourself in June so be sure not to get too cranky, especially in the run up to the full moon in Capricorn on the 23^rd.  Mercury goes retrograde in cancer on the 26^th and you return to being spacey and dreamy.

CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan19)  This is a month for enjoying yourself and enjoying other people.  You may not think so at the start of the month because June begins with some weirdness, a heavy feeling of responsibility and weight and then total spaciness and inability to focus.  Ah yes, we love Neptune.  Most of the month is dominated by a lovely conjunction of Venus and Mercury, making for really nice connections with people.  It is time to hang out and enjoy friends and family.  Lots of food and good conversation.  Then the week of the 16^th the Sun catches up to Jupiter for a week, and it is about completion and fulfillment.  Something is ending, and making space for something new.  This occurs just as the Sun enters Cancer, your opposite sign. The full moon on the 23^rd is in Capricorn, so this will be an intense full moon for you, largely about the meaning of relationships.  You will be awash with feelings.  You will be aware of the importance of  some people in your life…. Then mercury goes retrograde on the 26^th in Cancer.  Remember to go with the flow and stay close to your intuition.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 19)  At the start of the month you feel fleetingly pressed by the demands of work and this quickly is overtaken by a desire to do nothing at all.  It is a month to hang out and enjoy friends and

family.  In  fact, if you can get away with not working, you should.  Most of the month is graced by a beautiful Mercury Venus conjunction in Cancer, so you’re inspired by feelings of caring and connection – work be damned!  The new moon on June 8^thhas you exploding with ideas but this many not be the time to act on them.  The week of the 16^th the Sun catches up to Jupiter and they spend a week moving in tandem.  This is really nice for feeling a sense of completion – something is ending and you have a sense of closure. The wheel is turning and you are moving into a new phase. Then it’s the summer solstice and a full moon in Capricorn. The focus of this full moon is relationships and family.  It’s time to put some energy into relationships you consider to be important, and it is also a good time to mend fences that have been torn down in some stormy emotional times.  Mercury goes retrograde on the 26^th – go with the flow!

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 19)  Despite a clunky start, this is an enjoyable month for you.  The very beginning of June has you attempting to be all sensible and rational, but it only lasts for a second before it gives way to your being kinda spacey and purposeless.   Enjoy it, for god’s sake!  The month is dominated astrologically by a conjunction of Venus and Mercury

in Cancer. Nice! This is about hanging out with family and friends and having great conversation.  Lots of good food too. The new moon in Gemini on the 8^th is crazy, with a great deal of inspired, wacky ideas.  Pay attention to these brainstorms but save them for later.  Your job this month is to hang out and enjoy people you care about.  The week of the 16^th the Sun catches up to Jupiter inGemini, bringing a sense of closure or completion.  Something is ending, and something new beginning. Then it’s the summer solstice, followed by a full moon in Capricorn.  This lunation is more about family and friends, emphasizing what’s important in relationships, and helping you mend some relationships of yours that have taken some hits over the years.  Mercury goes retrograde on the 26^th so expect some best-laid plans to not go as planned….

ARIES (MAR 20-APRIL19)   This month is all about relationships, family and friends.  Even though June gets off to a slightly weird start – a few days of feeling grounded and then utter spacey purposelessness— it quickly settles into a rhythm of

hanging out and enjoying people.  You have an acute sense this month of the havoc that the Uranus-Pluto square can wreak in an instant, and it is making you feel more attentive to the people in your life than to the tasks.  Enjoy this month–   the Venus –Mercury conjunction in Cancer is with us most of this month and it is a beautiful thing, facilitating really easy and delightfulinteractions…  The week of the 16^th, the Sun catches up to Jupiter in Gemini, and this brings a sense of completion and closure.   You are finishing one project and ushering in the next.  It is a good time to stand back and take stock of your accomplishments.  Then comes the Summer Solstice followed by a full moon in Capricorn.  Again, this moon shines its light on relationships, and even brings a healing to a relationship in your life that has broken down.  Mercury goes retrograde in Cancer on the 26^th. You will be sensitive and thin-skinned.  Be gentle with yourself and don’t take things personally!

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20)   The Mars Neptune square at the start fo the month makes it hard to get things done.  There is a feeling of “now you see it, now you don’t.” to projects and plans and agreements.  But this is a great aspect for inspiration.  The new moon on June 8^th is particularly inspiring in the idea department, so pay attention to whatever wild and crazy brainstorms you have.  Then the rest of the month is dominated by a beautiful Venus-Mercury conjunction in Cancer.  This is about family and home and connection. It is about having great conversations with family and friends, about long lavish dinners that last into the night.  The week of the 16^th, the Sun is conjunct Jupiter for a week, and this combination brings closure and completion to something you have been working on. It also brings an acute sense of fulfillment – what you have and what you don’t yet have.  In any case, it represents the end of a cycle, an era.  Take stock and move on.  The summer solstice and full moon in Capricorn bring more attention to relationships. This is the month for you to attend to them, to give  energy and attention to those you care about.  But have fun doing it!  Remember that mercury goes retrograde on the 26^th – keep an eye on your travel plans and expect them to change.
