GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) June began with a few days of mushy social interactions and a lovefest or two… Mercury retrograde in your own sign makes a potent angle to Neptune for the first ten days of the month, so you are extremely spacey and can’t hold onto a thought. No worries, it’s a beautiful combination for poetry and deep intuition. As we approach the June 10 new moon in Gemini and partial solar eclipse you will be feeling the increasing tension and pressure of the Mars-Pluto opposition, which gets quite exact on the 6th. You’re ready for a fight with anyone about just about anything, so watch your words. They may be uncharacteristically sharp. Use this potent energy for organizing and clearing out your basement, or for mobilizing people around a cause. Remember that Saturn and Uranus are making quite an exact angle this month, upping the ante for you about which of your life structures need to change. But let’s talk about this important new moon and eclipse on the 10th: new moons are always rich and delightful in my book, a time for crystallization and new beginnings, and of course, eclipses always intensify their action. The Sun and Moon cross paths with Mercury retrograde on this one. It’s time for closure, for tying something up, for letting go. It is also a powerful new moon for communication and revelation. If there is something you need to say, say it. The week of the 13th is pretty calm, with Venus moving in early degrees of Cancer (mushy and needy) and Mars entering Leo (expressive as hell). The Sun enters Cancer on the 20th for the Summer Solstice, and on the 22nd Mercury turns direct. The Full moon in Capricorn falls on the 24th, along with Venus in opposition to Pluto. Ooh. The full moon will clarify issues about commitment and also about where you are investing your time, energy and money. The month ends with Mars in Leo making an angle to Saturn and Uranus, precipitating the change you say you’ve been wanting…
CANCER (JUNE 21- JULY 21) So June began with a few days of nice mushy interchange with friends and family. Mercury retrograde makes a 10 day angle to Neptune, which is weird and loopy. It’s hard for you to hold onto your thoughts and recall where you left your keys. But it’s a beautiful combination for inspiration, for writing and poetry. There is a very powerful new moon and eclipse in Gemini on the 10th. Mercury retrograde crosses paths with the
Sun and Moon, which highlights Mercury retrograde’s tendency to reveal information. Additionally, it is a good time to gain closure on something, to finish it and move on. That this is a partial eclipse just intensifies its action. Meanwhile Mars in your sign of Cancer opposes Pluto for a few days leading up to the new moon. Uh oh, your Cancerian boundaries may feel threatened. Be careful of lashing out. Use the Mars-Pluto energy to organize something and get a big piece of work accomplished. Starting on the 13th things calm down a lot—Venus cruises through Cancer and Mars enters Leo—good positions for asking for what you need. The Sun enters your sign of Cancer on the 20th and yay, it’s the Summer Solstice. Mercury turns direct on the 22nd—whew! The Capricorn full moon falls on the 24th, which will be a triggering one for you, especially if your birthday is in the first few days of Cancer. Venus in Cancer opposes Pluto at the same time, putting the focus on commitments—whether you want to make them or run from them. Mars in Leo makes an important angle to Saturn and Uranus at the end of the month, and you want to make changes and throw some old ways of doing things right out of the window…
LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21) June begins with the Sun and North Lunar Node joining up to deliver positive exchange with friends and family. Enjoy it, but watch out for Mercury-Neptune confusion. Mercury retrograde makes a long and slow angle to Neptune all the way to the new moon on the 10th, confusing the hell out of communication. Things will feel slippery for a reason. It is a great combination, however, for writing and inspiration, so use it. And then on 
the potent June 10th eclipse and new moon in Gemini Mercury retrograde crosses paths with the Sun and Moon. Interesting! Mercury retrograde is famous for bringing information to light, and on this new moon, new information should allow you to put something to rest. It is a good time for resolution, for letting go and moving on. Meanwhile Mars in Cancer opposes Pluto, and that brings some global and personal tension and pressure. You are angrier than you realize, and easily triggered, so be careful of stumbling into arguments. Use this focused energy instead to organize a project—put it to work in some way. The week of the 13th is pretty calm. Mars has entered Leo as of the 11th, giving your actions some oomph. The Sun enters Cancer on the 20thtand it’s the Summer Solstice. Better yet, Mercury turns direct on the 22nd. The Capricorn full moon falls on the 24th . It carries powerful Venus-Pluto aspects, which highlight issues of commitment. It is a good time to evaluate where you are putting time, energy, resources. The full moon will bring some things to light. Then the month ends with Mars in Leo making angles to Saturn and Mars. You will enact some changes you’ve been contemplating for a while.
VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21) Well, June began with nice mushy interchange with friends and intimates, then it gave way to some chunkier influences. Mars spends a good few days opposing Pluto in the run-up to the June 10th new moon. This makes you a powerhouse of action—be careful not to steamroll over other’s ideas and input. Mercury retrograde spends the first ten days of the month in an angle to Neptune—oy! That’s great for poetry and
inspiration but may wreak havoc with clear communication. This June 10th new moon and eclipse is an important one for you since it has Mercury retrograde crossing paths with the Sun and Moon. Mercury is your ruling planet, and its encounter with the Sun and Moon push you to clinch some deal, to use the information that is surfacing and get on with it. That Mercury is retrograde will likely reveal important information, if only in yourself. Trust your intuition in this set of decisions you’re making, and remember that Gemini and the other mutable signs (like Virgo) are about transitions and the future. Things calm down the week of the 13th when Venus in Cancer and Mars in Leo make things easy. The Sun enters Cancer on the 20thtfor the Summer Solstice, and Mercury turns direct on the 22nd. Whew!

Be aware that this combination also makes you kind of intense, focused, and impatient. Meanwhile Mercury retrograde is in a slow angle to Neptune, frustrating 
your desire to have your ducks in a row. Communication is wonky and you can’t exactly figure out what’s going on. All you can do is roll with it.

Communication is wonky and slippery and things you thought were settled may not be. All you can do is go with it, and use the Mars Pluto focus to clean out your basement or your email inboxes—some task that doesn’t involve other people and
misread expectations. The Gemini New moon and eclipse falls on the 10th, and this is an important one because Mercury retrograde crosses paths with the Sun and Moon.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 19) June started off with nice and mushy relationship dynamics, thanks to the Sun and Lunar Nodes, but quickly gave way to Mars-Pluto power struggles.

And another thing– keep in mind that not only is Mercury retrograde but it spends the first 10 days of June in an angle to squishy Neptune.

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20) June began with some satisfying interchange with friends and intimates, but quickly gave way to Mars-Pluto pressures. You want to focus and organize and get things done. This aspect also makes you a bit testy so watch your words, especially since Mercury is retrograde. In fact, Mercury is not only retrograde but in a slow aspect to Neptune for the first 10 days of the month, making it especially slippery and spacey. Your Mars-Pluto focus and ardor might be met with a lack of accountability and unclear expectations—just sayin’. Make sure you don’t lose your keys—a particularly Taurean tendency.
