GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20)  Well, this is a quite juicy month for you, so enjoy!  June begins with Venus in Gemini tracking close to the Sun for almost two weeks.  This is a feel-good aspect if there ever were one.  God knows we need that.  And—Jupiter entered Gemini at the end of May, and if you happen to be a May Gemini, born in the first week of the sign, Jupiter will spend the month of June moving across your Gemini Sun, bringing completion, fulfillment, and the turning of the wheel of fate and fortune.  Mercury also entered Gemini on the 3^rd and it hangs out with Jupiter for a couple of days so you are really working those Gemini communication muscles. The Gemini new moon falls on the 6^th—use it for generating ideas and plans.  However on the new moon Mars gets close to a potent angle to Pluto so watch out for power struggles.  By the 9^th the Sun and Venus both square Saturn in Pisces for about 5 days of serious wrestling over whose needs are getting met. Keep in mind that Mars will be still be in aspect to Pluto so this could be one helluva wrestling match.  Don’t do anything rash, relationship-wise!   By the 15^th Venus in Gemini  moves into an angle to Neptune for a few days of dreamy inspiration, followed by the Sun on the 18^th.  This is a great combination for creative expression; just be aware that you are super-sensitive and will need to have your shields up. The Summer Solstice comes on the 20^th, when the Sun enters Cancer, followed immediately by the Capricorn full moon on the 21^st.  The Sun and Moon will be lining up with Neptune on that full moon—be careful of heavy duty storms since a lot of water will get pulled around the planet.  Mercury and Venus in Cancer move in tandem for a few days starting on the 18^th, facilitating conversation, interchange, and lots of music.  Enjoy!

CANCER  (JUNE 21- JULY 21)  The month begins with a beautiful pairing of the Gemini Sun and Venus, moving in tandem for almost two weeks. This combination  will spark a lot of connection and emotional openness on your part and that of others.  The Gemini new moon falls on the 6^th, with Mercury and Jupiter also in Gemini.  That is a lot of Gemini energy, and you should kick back and relax, and enjoy the exchange of ideas. Avoid argument and power struggles, which could be exacerbated by Mars in an angle to Pluto.  By the 9^th the Sun and Venus make a square to Saturn, making you kind of serious and even demanding. The Mars -Pluto dynamic is still going on, so you could be throwing your emotional weight around more than you realize. By the 15^th Venus makes and angle to Neptune, followed by the Sun a few days later.  Neptune’s effect is dreamy and spacy, so don’t be surprised if you feel unfocused.  Mercury and Venus also line up with Neptune, so pay attention to your creative expression.  Then the Sun enters Cancer on the 20^th, marking the Summer Solstice.  Yay!  The Capricorn full moon is the next day, on the 21^st, pulling in major Neptune effects.  You will be sensitive and emotional, feeling your feelings and everyone else’s as well.  Make sure to do some rituals of self protection.   The rest of the month is pretty quiet for you on the planetary front, so enjoy. 

LEO (JUL 22-AUG 21)  Wow, the vibe is totally different this month—have you noticed?   First of all, all that chunky Taurus energy that was complicating your life just a bit has moved into easy-breezy  Gemini.  And god knows, that Gemini air just fans the flames of your Leo fire, and there are  a lot of Gemini planets now.  The Sun and Venus pair up in Gemini and move as a team for almost two weeks at the start of the month. Nice—friendly, relational, even romantic, at least until they catch up to Saturn on the 9^th.   But before they do, there is a nice Gemini new moon on the 6^th, and Mercury and Jupiter in Gemini pair up for a couple of days on the 3^rd.  The only tension comes from Mars in an angle to Pluto, which could make you way more willful than you realize.   By the 9^th Venus and the Sun make an angle to Saturn in Pisces, and the Mars-Pluto angle gets very exact.  Things take a turn towards serious, and you may find that people want more from you than you’re giving, and the Gemini need to talk about it can make you feel boxed in and a tad threatened. Slow your roll, honey.  It will pass, because the Sun and Venus keep on moving and by the 15^th they move into an angle to Neptune, first Venus and then the Sun. This is big dreamy and creative energy, so have fun with it. By the 18^th Mercury and Venus move together into Cancer and they make an angle to Neptune so enjoy music  and art and inspiration. The Summer Solstice comes on the 20^th, when the Sun enters Cancer, followed by the Capricorn full moon on the 21^st.  Neptune’s influence is strong on the Solstice and on the full moon, pulling a lot of water around the planet and stirring a lot of emotion as well.  The rest of the month looks shockingly calm personally but globally things are still rockin’ and rollin’.

VIRGO (AUG 22- SEPT 21)  The world is still nuts, but for you personally  the energies have really shifted.  There is a preponderance of planets in Gemini right now, a sign that rubs elbows with Virgo, stimulating you and sometimes rubbing you the wrong way.  All this Gemini energy is great for communication and sometimes Gemini’s flightiness gets on your nerves.  Jupiter entered Gemini at the end of May and Mercury joins up with it on June 3^rd for a couple days of expansive thinking and communication.  Venus in Gemini tracks with the Sun for almost two weeks at the start of June, inspiring a lot of relational openness on everyone’s part, at least until it lines up with Saturn on the 9^th.  But I get ahead of myself.  The Gemini new moon falls on the 6^th, a good one for planning and generating ideas, but Mars is also getting into an angle with Pluto which could bring some tension and clash of wills.  Then the Sun and Venus get into it with Saturn in Pisces on the 9^th for a few days of intense communication about needs and commitment. The Mars Pluto angle does make you focused and able to push some projects forward.  By the 15^th Venus in Gemini makes an angle to Neptune, followed by the Sun on the 18^th.  The Neptune influence is vague and unsettling, great for creative work but you might feel out of sorts.  By the 18^th Mercury and Venus enter Cancer and the Neptune effect is still strong, so it is a good time to get into the studio, and also enjoy art and music and conviviality. The Sun enters Cancer on the 20^th, and yay, it’s the Summer Solstice. The Capricorn full moon is the next day, the 21^st, and with all this action on the Earth axis watch out for global drama and really bad weather.   The rest of the month is smooth sailing for you.

LIBRA (SEPT 22-OCT21)  The world is still causing some amount of whiplash but the planetary energies have shifted. Now that there is a ton of planets in Gemini – another air sign—you are feeling lighter and a bit less angsty.  Gemini is about communication and information and curiosity, and so let your mind revel in the exploratory and convivial vibe.  Jupiter entered Gemini in late May and Mercury meets up with it for a couple of days of mental stretching on June 3^rd.  Venus in Gemini pairs up with the Sun for almost two weeks starting June 1st, and the Sun-Venus combo is pretty relational and delightful, at least until Saturn adds some stress to the mix on the 9^th.  The Gemini new moon falls on the 6^th, a particularly good lunation for planning, thinking, and communicating with others.  Keep in mind that Mars gets into an angle with Pluto, giving you deep focus and also bringing some willfulness to the surface that you may not be aware of.  As I said, Venus and the Sun make an angle to Saturn for a few days starting on the 9^th, deepening your desire for commitment, while Mars and Pluto might make you more demanding than your Libra self is used to.  By the 15^th Venus moves into an angle to Neptune for a couple of transcendent days before Venus moves into Cancer and the Gemini Sun gets into it with Neptune on the 18th. Things get dreamy and weird, and the boundaries between worlds gets very thin, so you might find yourself talking to the dead.  It’s okay, they have a lot to say. Mercury and Venus sit together for a couple of inspiring days of communication and music.  Then it’s the Summer Solstice on the 20^th, when the Sun moves into Cancer. The Capricorn full moon is the next day, the 21^st, packing a punch with global effect and probably really bad weather.  Enjoy some relative peace the last week of June.

SCORPIO (OCT 22-NOV 21)  Well, many of those Taurus planets that have been tweaking you for the last while have moved into Gemini, a sign that is not exactly compatible with you. Still, at least you’re not getting walloped the way you have been.  Gemini is an easy-breezy air sign, all about communication and flow—not exactly your strong suit but try to enjoy it!  It brings lots of easy communication, mental curiosity, interchange and conviviality. Mercury in Gemini meets up with Jupiter for a couple of days on the 3^rd, and you’re an idea factory.  Venus in Gemini pairs up with the Sun for almost the entire first two weeks of June, a pretty combination that makes everyone more open-hearted and generous., you included.  The Gemini new moon falls on the  6^th, and it is a great new moon for generating ideas and communication breakthroughs. Keep in mind that Mars is in an angle to Pluto and so you are exerting even more Scorpionic force of will than you usually do. By the 9^th the Sun and Venus make an angle to Saturn for a few days and things get more serious.  The stakes are higher and people in your life want commitment.  Again, be careful of any tendency to be overbearing.  By the 15^th Venus in Gemini lines up with Neptune for a few dreamy, inspired days, followed by the Sun moving into an angle to Neptune.  It’s the dreamtime and you love that.  The  Sun enters Cancer on the 20^th, marking the Summer Solstice, and the Capricorn full moon follows on the 21^st.  This will be a powerful time, for the world and for everyone. Pray for peace and get ready for bad weather.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 22- DEC 21)  Well, it’s another really big month for Sagittarius, this time because of so many planets in Gemini, your opposite sign.  Remember that  Gemini air fans the flames of Sagittarian fire, and so your head is spinning with activity, interaction, ideas, and communication.  Your ruling planet entered Gemini in late May, and so if you are an early Sag, Jupiter is moving across your Sag Sun by opposition, so it’s one of those “everything is everything” times in your life.  You’re full of wonder and joy and grief all at the same time.  Just keep breathing.  June 3^rd Mercury in Gemini catches up with Jupiter for a couple of days of extreme mental activity. Venus in Gemini pairs up with the Sun for most of the first two weeks of June, bringing a lot of emotional openness your way, at least until it hits Saturn on the 9th.  The Gemini new moon falls on the 6^th—use it to get grounded and clear your head a bit. Keep in mind that Mars is moving into an angle with Pluto so harness that focus but be aware of your power and impact on others.  By the 9^th, the Mars Pluto angle is exact and the Sun and Venus line up with Saturn for a few days of deep reflection about commitment and intimacy. Again, be aware of your impact on others—you can be a force of nature.  On the 15^th Venus in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces for a couple of days before the Sun moves into position with Neptune.  This Neptune effect—which continues through the Solstice and full moon—will stimulate a kind of emotional and spiritual discontent.  You might feel unsettled.  The best antidote is creative expression. The Solstice comes on the 20^th, when the Sun enters Cancer, and the Capricorn full moon is a day later on the 21^st.   This lunation will move a lot of water around the planet and stir up a lot of feelings in you.  It’s time to release those pent up feelings. 

CAPRICORN (Dec 21-Jan19)  The world is still stressing your nervous system, but otherwise there are some interesting planetary shifts—as long as you can work with all the Gemini energy in the sky!  Gemini doesn’t always vibe well with Capricorn–  you find the energy a bit too ungrounded. However, this month I encourage you to to try to like it, since you could use some flexibility, adaptability, and mental stimulation. Mercury in Gemini joins up with Jupiter on the 3^rd for a few days of very inspired thinking and exchange of ideas. Venus in Gemini pairs up with the Sun for almost a full two weeks, facilitating emotional connection at least until your friend Saturn gets involved on the 9^th.  The Gemini new moon falls on the 6^th, emphasizing these Sun Venus aspects, but it gets complicated by Mars getting into an angle with Pluto.   The Mars Pluto combination can surface some willfulness on your part, so be aware of it, especially after the 9^th when the Sun Venus Saturn influence has you itching to make some demands of people.  By the 15^th Venus in Gemini moves well away from Saturn and into an angle to Neptune.  Dig into your creative practices  for the next week, since first Venus and then the Sun get involved with Neptune. Channel those muses.   The Sun enters your opposite sign of Cancer on the 20^th, marking the Summer Solstice and the start of summer.   The 21st brings a Capricorn full moon right on the earth axis and with strong Neptune influences.  Expect confusing global political dynamics and really really bad weather.  This lunation will pull a lot of water around the planet and pull a lot of feelings out of you.  Spend the last week of June making art.

AQUARIUS (JAN 20-FEB 9)  Ooh la la, so many planets in Gemini right now, so little time!  Gemini is a fellow air sign, and you should be enjoying its easy-breeziness and conviviality.  Mercury joined up with Jupiter in Gemini for a couple of days on the 3^rd, bringing easy communication, and Venus in Gemini pairs up with the Sun for almost the entire first two weeks of June.  This is a pretty transit—at least until the 9^th when Saturn gets involved–  since it makes you and others sweet and loving.  Enjoy it.   The Gemini new moon falls on the 6^th, stimulating new thinking and new plans. Keep in mind that Mars gets into an angle to Pluto, and you might be throwing around your prodigious will a tad more than you realize. By June 9^th, when the Sun and Venus square Saturn in Pisces and the Mars-Pluto angle is more exact, things could get a little stressful.  You might want to push a commitment or force a decision that people aren’t quite ready for.  Slow your roll, honey.  Then by the 15^th Venus moves well away from Saturn and gets into an angle to Neptune, inspiring you intuition and creative energies.  Venus then moves into Cancer along with Mercury for some fun and inspiring interactions, while the Sun aspects Neptune. Enjoy.  The Sun enters Cancer on the 20^th,  marking the Summer Solstice, followed by a powerful full moon in Capricorn on the 21^st.  Be careful of weather and travel conditions on this full moon!

PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 19)  June is a very big and stimulating month for you since there is a huge amount of Gemini energy in the sky  right now.  Gemini is a mutable sign like your own—adaptable, flexible, moving towards the new – and it’s an air sign so its realm is about communication, interaction, learning.  Mercury just caught up with Jupiter in Gemini on the 3^rd, bringing a couple of days of a mental whirlwind.  Venus in Gemini has paired up with the Gemini Sun, and they move in tandem for almost the entire first two weeks of June.  This pairing brings openness and personal connection, at least til the 9^th when things could get a bit chunky.  The Gemini new moon falls on the 6^th with this Venus influence but keep in mind that Mars is nearing a strong angle to Pluto, which could surface a clash of wills and interests.  By the 9^th, the Sun and Venus move into a square to Saturn in Pisces while the Mars Pluto angle becomes quite exact with Mars having moved into Taurus.  Watch out—you’re tempted to go to the mat over a commitment, and not in your usual easy-going Piscean style. The key here is communication—all the Gemini energy favors clear and direct communication.  By the 15^th, Venus is well away from Saturn and in line with Neptune in Pisces.  Make some art!  Get to the studio or to the ocean!  Venus then moves into Cancer and the Gemini Sun spends a few days in an angle to Neptune. You’re spacey but inspired.  The Sun moves into Cancer on the 20^th, marking the Summer Solstice, followed by a helluva Capricorn full moon on the 21^st.  Feelings will be running very high and your personal barometer could just explode, and global weather could be really intense.    Make art, go to the ocean, and please calm down.  

ARIES (MAR 20-APRIL19) Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto are still shaking things up in the world, but the energies have really shifted.  There is quite the pileup of planets in Gemini.  Remember that Gemini is an air sign, fanning the flames of a fire sign like Aries. Gemini’s realm is mental—learning, communication, interaction, conversation.  Mercury in early Gemini caught up with Jupiter on the 3^rd for a couple of days of mental excitement. Venus in Gemini pairs up with the Gemini Sun for most of the first two weeks of June, stimulating openness and connection at least until the 9th  when Saturn gets into the mix.  The Gemini new moon falls on the 6^th with those pretty Venus aspects but keep in mind Mars at the end of Aries makes an angle to Pluto.  Be careful of exerting your will through fierce imposition of your opinions and ideas…. Just sayin.  By the 9^th, when Venus and the Sun square Saturn, you might find yourself in a power struggle about needs and commitments.  Rely on clear and kind communication to get through it.  By the 15^th Venus in Gemini moves from Saturn and into an angle to Neptune, great for inspiration and feeling a sense of connection to all humanity.  Venus moves on, entering Cancer along with Mercury, while the Sun gets into it with Neptune. More dreaminess, more global concern.  The Sun enters Cancer on the 20^th, marking the Summer Solstice, followed by a potent Capricorn full moon on the 21^st.  All of this action on the earth axis will have global impact, so be very attentive to weather, to humanity,  and to the earth itself.

TAURUS (APR 20-MAY 20)   This is a very different month for you—so many of the Taurus planets have moved into Gemini, easing a certain amount of pressure for you.  Whew!  Gemini is an air sign, and as such has to do with ideas, learning, and talking, with communication, community and conviviality.  So get ready to have your mind stimulated, and to talk a lot.  Mercury in Gemini met up with Jupiter on the 3^rd for a couple of days of mental tension and details. Venus in Gemini has paired up with the Sun and they move together for almost two whole weeks starting at the beginning of June.  This is a beautiful aspect about openness and connection, so you’re engaging with lots of people and enjoying it, at least until the 9^th, when Saturn gets involved.  June 6^th brings the Gemini new moon, which has these strong Venus influences and also an intense aspect of Mars and Pluto.  You might be having to force an issue , a situation, or a conversation—just be aware of how forceful you can be. By the 9^th Venus and the Sun square Saturn while Mars, now in Taurus, squares Pluto quite exactly.   Like I said, you can be forceful, especially with Mars in Taurus. All the Gemini planets really emphasize communication so you need to be sure you don’t skip any steps by forgetting to share important info.  By the 15^th Venus in Gemini squares Neptune for a few days of creative inspiration. By the 18^th Venus has moved on but the Sun moves into the angle to Neptune as they both  get close to the earth axis.  Your concern is for humanity and the earth itself.  The sun enters Cancer on the 20^th, signaling the Summer Solstice and the start of summer. Yay! The 21^st brings a helluva full moon in Capricorn and both of these celestial events trigger the earth axis.  Be careful of really bad weather, of global stresses and of earth changes.
