Astrolink

June 2005

Get out of school time may be here but learning in the school of life pushes the current study program along, especially until Saturn graduates out of the sign of Cancer, which it will do next month (after a 2 1/2 year stay.) Mars in Pisces will help to diffuse recent pressures for the first half of this month. As a matter of fact the going is likely to grow smoother thanks to a variety of stellar contributions. Please note, when the stars are in harmony, ambition can easily diminish. You can make use of this first half of the month to enjoy more of your social life and to take a well deserved breath (especially once pleasure planet and romantic hopeful Jupiter in Libra returns to direct motion June 5.) On the other hand, if you choose to motivate yourself toward accomplishment, you'll find a fairly easy glide into successful goal achievement. Mercury (June 11 -28) and Venus (June 3 - 28) join Saturn in the sign of Cancer to put added emphasis on family priorities and domestic concerns. When (higher intelligence/get smart planet) Uranus turns retrograde June 15 it will automatically download new personal awareness monitors. Uranus retrograde will help you to discover what upgrades you may need to take yourself out of that less than satisfactory auto-pilot.

ARIES (MAR 21 - APR 19)
Mars, your ruler is very active this month. You could feel a stripping away influence on a psychological, emotional, creative and/or spiritual level. You could also find the need to move away from circumstances or relationships that no longer serve. Once the circumstantial or personal blocks are surpassed (watch June 3 -5) you'll be solidly on track with yourself once again. Watch for news, opportunity and insights around June 5 -7, when the new moon sets a new stage. Communications (& creative writing, designing or composing too), travel, and studies are emphasized. This is a good time to put out your resume, to increase your advertising and to get yourself better connected. While Mars in Pisces can be an internalized and less obvious influence, by the time Mars moves into Aries on June 11, you'll burst back on to the scene with pumped up vitality, enthusiasm and renewed fight and
might. To finish the month on an intensified note, the full moon June 21 kicks into gear just as the kids get out of school. Anticipate that you'll have your hands plenty full. The weekend of June 24 to 26 is a good time to hit the road, fly off somewhere or partake and enjoy, right were you are.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20)
Use this first half of the month to secure your spot in the good books of those who matter most to you. Combine business and pleasure, do more bonding with friends, and make plans for your summer fun. If you are looking for a job, your best time to make a good impression is in this first half of the month - especially June 6 to 8. Finances and relationships are the feature June 15 - 18. For some it's get out of school time. This cycle can a time of relationship expansion - you could meet a new love or take an important next step with your current steady. Be ware, fertility influences are greatly heightened! Of course if your relationship isn't what it needs to be, it could grow apart. On the financial level, it's a good time to buy or scout for a new home. Both Uranus in retrograde and the progress of Mars into Aries will increase your self focus and self interests. It's your time to slip out of sight and to devote more quality time to the passions of your life (more quality time devoted to your lover or family for example) or to concentrate on health and wealth upgrades.

GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUN 21)
Overall indicators show that whether the temperature is just right or whether you face a circumstantial "climate change" (career or personal) you'll enjoy a breeze through for most of the month (especially in this first half). Mars and Saturn put you into a comfortable groove to June 7. Career development and finances are likely to be steady, relationships are too. The new moon (June 6) launches a sweet cycle for your sign. Romance is on the increase, no matter if you are single and on the hopeful lookout, or whether you've been with your partner for an eternity so far. This is a great month for marriage and marriage proposals. June 9/10 show a decision or commitment/brings a time to nail it down or finish it off. One way or another June 13- 15 will put you on the move - someone could arrive or leave; or perhaps you could find your new home or land a new job. Mars in Aries (June 11 to July 27) keeps you busy and inspired/adds vibrancy to your social life. The direction changes of Uranus to retrograde and Jupiter to direct motion put the emphasis on quality of living rather than the amount of the paycheck (although it's always great when both fall in the same category.) Relationships of all kinds can be improved upon - including the "you to you" partnership. The full moon cycle to the end of the month brings intensity, action and relationship or financial thresholds. June 24 -26 can be a great time to get out of town/start a vacation/meet someone new.

CANCER (JUNE 22 - JUL 22)
Mars in Pisces can bring a healing influence to your overall sense of security and well being, especially to June 7, when it aligns (trines) with Saturn in your sign. This can be a time of great spiritual unfolding and romance, increased intuitive signaling and inner awareness, creativity, financial reinvention and an opening of beautiful new doors, especially with Neptune in trine to the Sun (and Mercury) around the same time (to June 9). Still, all planetary energies can work in a multitude of ways - you can just as easily keep the blindfold on and pretend that you are making progress. It would be shame if your orientation is the latter, especially if you are perpetuating addictions or other not so good for you behaviour. Even so, you can't hide the truth from yourself for long as Mars moves into Aries (June 11) to support you or force you to take action. A new job can lead to better a better financial picture, especially at month's end and beyond. Attraction planet Venus in your sign brings wonderful synchronicity into play especially June 10 - 13, while Mercury in Cancer travels close behind (July 15/16.) Watch for perks, added excitement, and unexpected goodies to come your way (possibilities: romance, winnings, weddings, travel and good news re education, publishing, social events or legal affairs.) The summer solstice - the sun's entrance into Cancer (late in the evening on June 20) is powered up by a full moon (July 21.) July 21 to 27 can bring plenty of action, opportunity, major developments and important decisions - possibly to do with a location move and/or a new start for your home & family. Business and financial growth is quite possible, especially for those of you in retail or who deal with tourism, recreation and vacation activities.

LEO (JUL 23 - AUG 22)
Start of the month finds your life rolling right along. There can be a significant development in your relationship or finances especially June 2 - 4. These are good few days to pick a direction and go - you'll immediately find yourself on the win/win plus side. The playful new moon, along with Venus and Mercury brings plenty of social opportunity although you might be a good deal less visible until June 11 as you get on with a busy personal agenda (or perhaps while you dive deeper into romance! June 10 - 12 can be sweet and spicy.) Much can be in a developmental stage that may not be apparent until Mars moves into Aries - and you can expect even more to come into being/become obvious when Venus and Mercury move into Leo June 28. If you are newly in love (or pregnant) or are working on a special creative or financial project, gift yourself with a privacy grace period and don't reveal everything just yet (know that others may hold secrets too.) The new moon also bodes well for increased sales and new marketing campaigns or strategies. Mars in Aries brings a wonderful cycle (to July 27) for travel, weddings, sports and recreation activities. You could feel driven, overwhelmed or in over your head June 13 - 15 (an unexpected element can make these dates plus or minus.)

July 24 -26 brings a great getaway weekend or special events to attend.

VIRGO (AUG 23 - SEPT 22)
You are most likely ready to take big steps forward as this month begins as the new moon ignites a major decision. You could change the focus of your studies and/or career interests, make an important family move or sell your home, or it could be a relationship issue that is ready to go to the next step. You may also decide to redesign your social life and move into new circles (great idea.) Whatever you face, know that the time is ripe and that you'll feel very happy when see that ball rolling. You'll find plenty of motivation when Mars moves into Aries June 11. This can be a challenging position especially if you suddenly find you are going it alone, but on the plus side Mars provides freedom, courage, initiative and (the need for) financial independence. You are stronger than you know yourself to be and this cycle of Mars is meant to prove that statement true. New personal capacities and/or new financial resources are simply waiting to be discovered. June 13/14 will bring news or plenty action - perhaps some of it unexpected. Be ready, willing and available to jump into action. Jupiter's return to direct motion (June 5) is a positive influence re your finances, creativity and fertility. The sun's entrance into Cancer June 20 along with the full moon brings more play, travel and socializing into the picture. June 24 -26 can heat up your love life or will create the need for a change of scenery. Mars and Jupiter can bring out the romantic or financial gambler in you as you lay it on the line/find yourself in an all or nothing mode. (This can be another heightened fertility cycle for those who'd like to know.)

Mars and Saturn are likely to start the month off at a comfortable level, aided by the new moon in Gemini and several other positive planetary contributions. Venus in Cancer (June 3 - June 28) brings an added importance toward looking the part and will find the need to direct more concentrated attention on your business, career profile and personal reputation. Jupiter in your sign turns direct after four isolating months in retrograde.

Abundance planet Jupiter can help you to move ahead on a financial level too. June 8 - 10 can be a time when you find work - or more work and/or additional sources of income (including a loan.)

Creativity, reputation and confidence are on thrive drive now, which adds to your sense of overall stability.

The first half of this month brings a time when you can enjoy your fruits just a little more. Travel, circulate, socialize, play and re-connect. Learn more/master your studies.
