Aires   (March 20 - April 18)  Fire.  Ruling planet Mars.    Top

Welcome to the joy and the madness of life on this planet, Aries. Another dynamic set of developments is unfolding for you over the course of this current monthly cycle. You are finding success with your public presence in the world by dint of hard work, and also beginning to realize that your energy for career is transforming mightily in the process. In redefining yourself and your goals for the future, you will find that deep communication is key, both with peers and within the bounds of your introspective self. The gods are more than ready to rush to assist you but they require that you pay attention to them and recognize their potency to sooth the troubled and tangled waters of your existence.

As the month begins, you are feeling the softer side of relationship in your life. Emotional catharsis has been a factor lately as well as powerful thought process that connects you more directly to your social setting and your goals for the future, and these categories are reviving along with the idea of a value shift within you in order to meet that energy. Your idea of the direction that your life is taking as well as the way you structure your movement that follows these different ideas is rapidly transforming. A period of time that might be characterized by research and reflection and thoughtful introspection is coming to a close, to be replaced by more direct action along one line or another, and how to choose? In all these changes, partnership is a key factor for you. Only by dint of working together with significant people in your life and absorbing or bouncing off of their varying points of view can you hope to come to a more settled idea of your own.

The Sagittarius Full Moon that ends the first weekend of the month, taking place on Sunday, June 7th, brings greater information and also greater conflict to bear on the situation. This is a time when you will be philosophically alert and also restless to move forward and yet also constrained by the limitations of your situation so that you might feel stuck rather than active, unable to accomplish the strides in the world that you are itching to make. Communicative outreach is also an important theme for you this month and at this time becomes even more serious, and more greatly expressive of your deeper issues.

The Last Quarter Moon of the 15th is a time of realizations and also of spiritual connection. A nascent worldview that is only now just dawning upon you is coming into play. You might be able to see a bit farther into the world around you than you have before, though not with physical eyes, and perhaps also grasp a picture, not fully formed, of your emerging future self.

With the Summer Solstice and the powerful New Moon that follows two days later, on the 22nd, you will be coming to further engagement regarding all these issues. You are launching yourself out along the parameters of a new arc of development that takes everything into account, and deeply, but not too much.

Taurus   (April 19 - May 19)  Earth.  Ruling planet Venus.    Top

This is an important period, Taurus, when you are becoming dimly aware of the shape of change. This is a potentially confusing time for you right now, based in part on how much you want your audacious plans to succeed. While wishing doesn't make it so, it is certainly a crucial first step in realizing the transformation that you seek. You must also remember not to let yourself down just when you need you the most. In the highest reality, although you may be tempted to quail before the prospect of fulfilling your wildest dreams you are playfully enlightened around these issues, frightened and exhilarated all at the very same time, and deadly serious about striking a new note.

As the month begins, you are feeling your way through dream worlds of the imaginal realm. This is a particularly important and mystical time for you when many things in your life could seem to be coming unraveled from the perspective of the mundane but when the puzzle pieces are actually falling into place when seen through a different lens that includes the mystical as an integral factor.

Since Mercury has been so recently retrograde in the later degrees of your sign and is still recovering, it is also a time of reflection and introspection, and one when journaling is also recommended if you have the time and the inclination to do so. The past thirty days have been magical for you and the first two weeks of this month continue the trend. This is a time of great idealism and perhaps confusion but also a time of joy and peaceful acceptance when you orient yourself towards the universal principles that are peeping at you through the veil. As modern science itself tells us, the world and all the objects in it are only partly solid while the rest is pure vibration, as you might be able to directly access right now.

The weekend of the Full Moon, Saturday and Sunday, June 6th and 7th, represents a crux of time that brings up the limitations and practical concerns of life as well as these more spiritual elements. You are caught between a rock and a high place right now. This weekend is also a time of stepping more firmly and securely into the world as your ruler Venus has just entered your sign. There is a tremendous gift in the potent cosmic energies that are available to you these days. You are taking your wide-ranging idealism forward into a bright but uncertain future and simultaneously dealing with limitation and loss in a sincere fashion also. You can't escape, but there is great abundance available to you just in the process of meeting up with necessity.

The energy shifts during the following weekend when the Last Quarter Moon is about to take place in your sector of societal responsibility. You are prepared to accept what you cannot change concerning your present situation. You are also supremely goal-oriented at this time, floating above the merely mundane, looking to the future. There is a great feeling of possibility in your life at this time, as well as practical concern, and it does you good to focus on your almost unlimited potential.

Then, one week later, the New Moon of Monday, June 22nd, signals a new beginning and a powerful connection with both this sense of far-out possibility and also the necessary consequences of life on planet earth, with all its drama and stickiness. Your point of view is supremely important in navigating these potentially troubled waters. In matters of the Spirit, point of view is everything.

Gemini   (May 20 - June 20)  Air.  Ruling planet Mercury.    Top

You are becoming more available to your fan base these days, Gemini, in this your birthday time of the year, and also more than a little internal and introspective. Being out in the world is fun and light for you these days, while at the same time you remain serious regarding your commitment to home and family, and to pursuing your own unique vision. You are seeing your world differently, and everything in your life including your public stance becomes altered. By mid-month you will have completed a cycle of emerging awareness. You’re being shown a way forward beyond maps or guideposts, one that speaks directly to your heart without needing words to limit the vital meaning.

As the month begins, you are reveling in the energy of the New Moon in your sign from the end of last month that carries forward into this one. As a consequence you are outer-oriented during these first two weeks, although with your ruler Mercury still regaining momentum and lost Zodiacal ground you are feeling somewhat internal as well. This is still a good time for journaling or taking up a meditation practice, and for inner work in general. Your philosophy and world view is highlighted at this time, as you respond to the triple conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in your sector of higher mind.

There have been some interesting twists and turns there lately, as you wrestle with the seeming contradictions between a mystical view of reality and the superficial chatter of the so-called 'real' world cascading and flowing all around you. In actuality they are part and parcel of each other; two side of the very same coin.

These two seemingly disparate parts are each brought forward at the time of the Sagittarius Full Moon, taking place on Sunday, June 7th. This is a time when partners in your life are being given special attention on the part of the cosmic forces swirling around you, and when also the emphasis is on deep commitment, and family bonds. You could feel the limitation imposed by restricted choice in choosing your ground, and the necessary contrast this makes with the freedom and joy that you find in mentally voyaging out toward infinity, but this is merely the wonder and the paradoxical nature of life on planet earth. You win big by accepting both sides of this conundrum equally and without prejudice.

The Last Quarter Moon of a week later, taking place on Monday, June 15th, and the days immediately following, represents a time when you will be exploring your possibilities from an entirely new angle and when the sky is the limit as far as your aspirations go. You are also constrained by the practicalities of your situation and you could find that your eye for future ideas is broader than the narrow path that you must tread to actually accomplish your goals.

The New Moon of Monday, June 22nd comes as a revelation, allowing you at least potentially to take the plunge that you were destined to take all along, being sure however to honor the gods of inner wisdom while doing so.

Cancer   (June 21 - July 21)  Water.  Ruling planet is the Moon.    Top

You are putting one foot firmly behind the other at the beginning of this month, Cancer, but perceived lack of progress may only be just another illusion. You are stabilizing at the core of your being and rearranging your relationship priorities while you ruminate on all your life-changing possibilities. Your communication is stilled but not shuttered, and conveys spiritual necessity as well as an emerging sense of wonder. Prepare to step out in style by the time of the Summer Solstice when the Sun enters your sign. Until then, watch and wait, and count each passing moment as a hologram wherein is contained the entire universe, with you at its pulsating center.

As the month begins, you are riding the wave of energy from the recent New Moon in your sector of dream imagination. This is powerful medicine, but it takes you out of this world rather than further into it. Your dreams have likely been strong lately, and full of extraordinary perceptions. The veil between the worlds is thinned for you during this brief period of time preceding the Summer Solstice, especially so at this current juncture, when Jupiter and Neptune are also cavorting in your sector of intimacy and personal transformation, creating a one-two punch from the beyond that waxes stronger as the month wears on. You are therefore in the midst of a period of deep thought and inner exploration, even as you deal with the myriad details of the mundane world.

At the time of the Sagittarius Full Moon of Sunday, June 7th, the illusory nature of this worldly existence is further emphasized, and also, paradoxically, the reality of connection to others via spoken and written communication, which becomes at this time even more serious and commitment-oriented. You also might feel the limitations of having to say exactly what you need to say, and nothing else, as you stretch to find the true meaning of the events in your life and reach out to others around you for confirmation and continuity.

Relationship with significant partners in your life is transformative for you over the following week, culminating at the time of the Last Quarter Moon of the 15th, when you might find a surprising shift in point of view that opens up an entirely new border of consciousness for you to cross. This month in general is a pivotal one for the sake of the transformation that you find yourself in the midst of these past few months. You might be tempted to dismiss the inner nature of your experiences at this time and give yourself over to the seductive undertow of consensus thinking but you win when you pay the closest of attention to everything that is happening to you and attempt to integrate the information from your heart as well as your mind into your flow.

The Summer Solstice of Saturday, June 20th, always a special time for you, is rendered even more powerful by the New Moon two days later, on Monday, June 22nd. This is a time when you are giving yourself a fresh start on the future that your unconscious process has laid out for you, and on the transformational journey that you have undertaken. It might help to remember that you actually signed up for all of this, somewhere long ago and far away, and as ever-present as the ground beneath your feet.

Leo   (July 22 - August 21)  Fire.  Ruling planet is the Sun.    Top

It might be just the right time to roll up your sleeves, Leo. This month provides you with the stimulation of new ideas and the desire to depart from the norm, together with the realization that some elements of your situation cannot be negotiated or dreamed away. Instead these factors must be faced squarely and dealt with in some form before the rewards start coming. You are currently in the midst of a very future-oriented and seriously motivated thought process, aided by the agency of helpful partners. There is also coming over you a dawning sense of a life purpose which transcends the ordinary. One thing is sure; you won't get far without taking Spirit into the picture.

As the month begins, you are feeling your oats, stepping out into the world with verve and style. This is an important albeit somewhat confusing period for getting clear on your goals and for coming to a better sense of what your outer world achievement truly consists of. Since Mercury is still wobbly and recovering from its retrograde for the next two weeks, while you are looking to the future you could find yourself still obsessing about prior events also, and the pull of the past as represented by important partnerships in your life. You are in many ways breaking free of previous patterns of relationship connection but that involves renewing your understanding of just what those patterns truly entail for you.

The Full Moon of Sunday June 7th may bring these matters to a head. You are deadly serious at this time about your commitment to a better future and more complete societal involvement, and also facing squarely the sense of limitation in terms of resources that makes it challenging to move forward.

By the time of the Last Quarter Moon of Monday, June 15th, you are taking the long view of your possibilities and accepting what cannot be changed. There could be unusual information relating to core ideals and also to partnership that takes you by surprise at this time, and helps you to see your way. You are operating from an extremely idealistic place these days, and yet with a strong dose of practicality also, which is potentially quite helpful and is a healing combination, especially if you allow the viewpoint of others a seat at the table of your deliberations.

The New Moon a week later on, on Monday, June 22nd, immediately following the Summer Solstice, is a powerful one for you and signals a greater reliance on Spirit to help move your thoughts and emotions in positive directions while you are facing the multiplicity of changes running through your life right now. Any factor that creates harmony is of course welcome at this juncture. You have distinct possibilities so long as you keep your senses alert and your perceptions open. The long run of transformation is what you are aiming for and any sacrifices in comfort or brief discontinuities along the way are mere distractions.

Virgo   (August 22 - September 21)  Earth.  Ruling planet Mercury.   Top

You're almost done with thinking things over, Virgo, and now getting ready to act. This month provides the capstone of many weeks of soul-searching into where you are going and why. At this time you are stepping out into the world in a new way, tentative at first but later with more confidence. The period of the retrograde of your ruler, Mercury, just passed, has been a time of philosophical inquiry into ultimate motivation. You are finding the spiritual connection right now to your work in the outer world as well as for the inner. It's a bold move that you are making with the advent of the Summer Solstice of June 20th, one that you've been preparing for in some sense, all your life.

As the month begins, you are riding the wave of the New Moon in your career sector from the end of last month, and feeling the shift of energy as your ruler Mercury switches into forward movement after three long weeks in retrograde. You are moving ahead full force right now with the affairs of the outer world, but the message from the secret center of your being is not to neglect the information that is also coming through to you from the other world of inner connection to the All That Is. It is easy of course to ignore the subtle call of inner knowing amidst the hustle and bustle of mundane events, but yet in some very important way, that is what it's really all about.

You are transforming in your self-concept, and in how you see the world around you, in no small part as a result of researches into the deeper meaning of the situation that you find yourself in these days. Life is more difficult than it needs to be when you fail to remind yourself of the cosmic purpose underlying your struggle.

The Full Moon of Sunday, June 7th, poses this question in starkly definite form, as it makes a challenging aspect to Saturn, lord of limitation, sitting in the middle of your identity sector. All year long you have been inquiring into the mystery of exactly who you are, an agent in the world of noise and color that so obviously surrounds you or something more, a ghost in the machine that sees everything from a perspective of infinite bliss. The answer of course is both, and you lose out when you suppress either pole of the fascinating dichotomy that we might as well call the Human Condition.

This is a time of finding the joy of service to something larger than self, which you are good at, and also of transcending the patterns of sacrifice and reluctant assistance that have been unconscious motivators of behavior, which is not so simple. You are very idealistic at this time and seeking to achieve the miracle as you go forward of keeping your heart and mind in synch with what is becoming your life's work.

By the time of the Last Quarter Moon, taking place on Monday, June 15th, there will be surprises, perhaps in the form of partnership intervention that helps to lay the groundwork for new dimensions of your experience to become available. You are gathering your energy at this time, seeing what does and doesn't work in the varied mix of your endeavors as you head into the rebirth of the Summer Solstice and New Moon.

This Cancer New Moon takes place a week later, on Monday, June 22nd, and represents a fresh start with plans and social involvement, and also with traversing the deep unknown parts of yourself. Not everything that glitters is the real gold.


Libra   (September 22 - October 22)  Air.  Ruling planet Venus.    Top

This is a period of great unfolding wisdom in your life, Libra. This is especially true when you take the time to look deeply into everything that is happening to you right now, at everything that is opening up. You are discovering new aspects of relationship with others in the lessons of recent events, and in the trials of your own self-development. A shift in point of view works wonders. As this monthly cycle culminates, you may find that you are exploring the paradoxical nature of reality as well both the joys and the sorrows of existence. It's a strange conundrum that has been slowly growing within you lately that you cannot have the one without the other.

As the month begins, you are coming to a philosophically new level of acceptance and awareness. Relationships that you have with significant others in your life are important for you these days and help you to focus your energies. You are exploring the effect of others on your own arc of development right now, seeing your way through to the depths of your being based in part on the compassionate contributions of helpful partners. You are transforming mightily at the core, looking inside yourself for the true meaning that partnership interaction holds.

With the Full Moon of Sunday, June 7th, you are feeling the pull of the transformational tide that is rolling within you. You are also reviewing the past at this time as a means for discovering the meaning of the present moment. Over this month and next, you are at a crossroads in your process of unfolding spiritual maturation and finding in the limitations of the past a clue to how you might move forward more gracefully into an open-ended future self that is enabled and empowered to transcend them.

The Last Quarter Moon of Monday, June 15th, is another time when you will be provided with much food for thought and perhaps with the unexpected making its way into your calculations regarding future commitment and service orientation to the larger collective. You are coming to a better understanding of what works and what does not in your current situation.

The New Moon that comes along a week later is epic, and gives you a boost that will eventually lead to a better integration of inner and outer in your life. The very quality of this time brings some stress to bear, although it is in essence the positive and hopeful stress of future change streaming through you. This is difficult to the degree that you resist. You are seething with possibility these days, as you move through many worlds of past and future, transcending prior patterns of unhealthy involvement and finding the true meaning of family and tribal connection.

Scorpio   (October 23 - Nov 21)  Water.  Ruling planets Mars, Pluto.   Top

You are peeling away the layers of the onion, Scorpio, one by deliberate one. Relationship with others takes on a special set of meanings for you in this current monthly timeframe, not least of which is the continued exploration of your own core values and process. You are encountering yourself at the deeper levels of your psyche these days, and it might be difficult to ascertain what it is that you are discovering, guided only by the definite feeling that something profound is indeed taking place. You remain serious and committed regarding societal prospects that hold the key to future development. A mental shift is but the visible tip of the iceberg indicating a broader and more visceral metamorphosis.

As the month begins, personal transformation is in the air. This is an important month for both intimate connection with significant others and for discovering important pieces of your own past, as you reach out toward a new integration. You could even find yourself feeling your way into a new idea of what you are about in this lifetime. The first week of the month is productive. Partnership is quite an important component for you right now and you are getting very serious about how you fit yourself into society around you, connecting the dots and striving for a better handle on your future.

At the time of the Full Moon, taking place on Sunday, June 7th, you might feel the pinch of necessity. There are powerful limiting factors that govern your sense of what resources are currently available for you right now, in order to enable you to make the moves that you feel are necessary for your soul's growth. There could also be illusion and confusion surrounding your path forward into an uncertain future, perhaps involving family dynamics or confrontations with old patterns from the far-distant past, but there is also excitement. You could actually revel in the feeling that you really don't know what might be coming next. At least it is a departure from business as boringly usual.

The Last Quarter Moon of Monday, June 15th and the days following represent a period of time that is revelatory and open ended. You are subscribing to pure possibility right now in some ways, while in others you remain convinced that the wildest of your new ideas simply won't fly. The truth, as usual, lies somewhere in between.

The New Moon comes along a week later, taking place on Monday, June 22nd, and makes for a fresh start in the ways of seeing your world that presage change. This entire month is an entirely dynamic one for you, one in which you have your choice of looking back at the way things were – at least the way that you previously conceived them – or going ahead and simply getting on with it. You are only pretending to be stuck.

Sagittarius   (Nov 22 - Dec 20)  Fire.  Ruling planet Jupiter.   Top

You are preoccupied with partnership this month, Sagittarius, but that is only one part of the story. Mulling over what makes your own voice distinct from so many others that surround you is another. Your focus on others at this time leads you inevitably back to yourself and to major developments in the way you occupy your space in the world. The connection with points of view that are alien to your own proves ultimately enlightening. It's amazing how the slow buildup of many weeks of effort can suddenly morph, all in an instant, into something that becomes entirely unique while it remains entirely you. It's a shaky ladder you're standing on but it leads you to the stars.

As the month begins, you are feeing the connection with others quite strongly, looking for feedback from significant partners as you attempt to navigate the tricky shoals of life on planet earth with its angelic as well as its difficult sides. Your ruler Jupiter is participating in a highly spiritual conjunction with Chiron and Neptune right now, which may lead you into ecstasies of enlightenment but which also could leave you somewhat at odds with material existence.

Your communication is inspired at this time and perhaps a bit confused, as you attempt to express what is essentially beyond words. With Mercury just regaining its lost momentum in your sector of discipleship to your highest purpose, you are also placing major consideration on where your life is heading these days.

The Full Moon in your sign that takes place on Sunday, June 7th, is an important time of integration. You are balancing the vibrations of others in your life with the energy just to be yourself in every circumstance. You are also hyper-aware of your responsibilities at this time, intent on seeing your sweat equity paying off and still stuck in the hard work of getting things into a state of fruition.

The Last Quarter Moon that comes along a week later, taking place on Monday, June 15th, is a time of increased awareness and surprising epiphany. You are determining what does and does not have viability in view of the limitations inherent in your situation, in spite of the high idealism that you also bring to the table. It is also possible that you will find the impetus also at this time to deal with old patterns of communication and connection that mostly go unrecognized. These may stem from ancient childhood trauma and have long since outlived their usefulness in the present era. The time might be right to accept these painful flaws within your psyche and to simply move on, acknowledging these walled-off parts of yourself as a significant part of the whole you.

The New Moon a week later, taking place on Monday, June 22nd, represents another powerful crux of time when it might be possible to transcend the past and acknowledge the strength and durability as well as the magical healing potency of the present moment.

Capricorn   (Dec 21 - Jan 19)  Earth.  Ruling planet Saturn.   Top

Your ongoing transformation continues into the present moment, Capricorn. The push and pull of circumstance has never been stronger or more mentally captivating, and it leads you toward reconsideration of what you see laid out before you as your life mission. The simple and homey truth has been making itself more and more evident that you are only partly here for yourself. After the middle of the month, sudden access of information seeds the crystal of new vision. Your viewpoint on what you are about is changing and your world right along with it. Clinging to the past is painful but could be necessary. You will let go when you are ready. When you get into the swing of this new mandate the fun really begins and you can let others into the circle of a glorious new you without fear of compromising your principles in the slightest.

As the month begins, you are exploring concepts of service to the greater collective that surrounds you in the context of simple day-to-day experience. You have been transforming greatly over the last few months, taking in a deeper sense of yourself and how you see the world around you, and applying it to important life decisions. With the triple conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune in your values sector, you are also no doubt relating to the condition of your financial and other resources in an expansive and idealistic manner, although this can seem more than a little confusing in the actual working out. You are likely dealing with old patterns here as well, perhaps stemming from early childhood trauma of one kind or another, attempting to find the significance in knee-jerk unconscious responses to security issues that still come up for you many years down the road.

You come to terms with some of these issues and explore your point of view more fully at the time of the Sagittarius Full Moon, taking place on Sunday, June 7th, when you encounter a moment of both difficulty and realization. You are moving through some prickly issues right now, with actual physical travel also a distinct possibility, and this might be a time when you hit the wall in one way, but are able to peer around the next corner in another making a new path for yourself.

The Last Quarter Moon that comes a week later, taking place on Monday, June 15th, offers up fresh information that helps in rearranging your concepts and in slogging through. All this leads up to the very potent New Moon of Monday, June 22nd, when you will find the powers of the universe conspiring to pull you through.

Partners can be decidedly helpful at this juncture. You are involved in a metamorphosis that goes beyond the superficial elements of your life and touches you to the core, and you might find that others are there for you to a surprising degree when you turn toward them. You are striving for embracing new perspectives and making them your own, not always an easy trick to accomplish. Things will go better for you these days the more you can stay available to what the cosmos has in store for you, with open eyes and clear seeing, and with a minimum of judgment.

Aquarius   (Jan 20 - Feb 18)  Air.  Ruling planets Uranus, Saturn.   Top

There are changes now, Aquarius, although they might be almost entirely unconscious ones. You are entering a dazzlingly confused and entirely magical period that seems chaotic but ends positively. Delving down inside to explore home and family dynamics is difficult, but has its rich rewards. Your self-expression soars as you find the correct balance of male assertion and feminine responsiveness in the connections that you make. You are going through a transformation so massive that it's difficult to see around it, to feel the edges of the new being that is birthing. It is taking the place of the person that you were, which at this point is a walking habit pattern, and is soon to become a distant memory.

As the month begins, you are reinventing yourself yet again, finding further wrinkles in the schema that you have been subscribing to at an almost unconscious level for some time now. You are fairly bursting with enthusiasm these days, coming at the world from an expansive and idealistic place, and transforming from the inside out. You are in the process of discovering that nothing makes much sense unless it emanates from the spiritual center of your being in addition to the more surface components.

This is a time of recognition as well as idealism and potential confusion, as you seek to integrate disparate parts of your personality and also search out the meaning of ancient patterns of behavior that are ready to be outgrown. You are full of forward momentum and yet also holding back with another part of yourself, future-oriented but investigating prior activity for clues to unlock the doors of present self-realization.

The Full Moon of the first weekend of the month, coming along on Sunday, June 7th, represents a magical time when these themes are highlighted and you are caught between the remnants of the past and the unfolding present, with a serious attitude toward unraveling the mystery of being. As you focus your gaze, old patterns can dissolve in an instant's epiphany.
There might be an even greater realization awaiting you at the time of the Last Quarter Moon of Monday, June 15th, when the Moon conjuncts your ruler Uranus in your resources sector. This is a moment when you could come to understand with greater conscious awareness just what you are about in this lifetime and as well at this particular juncture.

The New Moon a week later, taking place on Monday, June 22nd, represents another powerful time for you, when you will begin to experience more fully what you are engaged in, namely the ongoing transformation of your values and of your inner perspective.

Pisces   (Feb 19 - March 19)  Water. Ruling planets Neptune, Jupiter.   Top

Welcome to the mystical doorway, Pisces. You are tuning into your inner spaces this month in a manner that takes you straight out of this world and yet also, paradoxically, deeper into it. For you right now, the way out and the way in are one and the same. Your ruler Neptune is buzzing and vibrating in your sector of dream visions and secret longings. Saturn is also active, and you might feel stuck in some factor of relationship, and yet you are also concentrating on opening up to new territory. As you lean toward the inside and listen to the pulse of the universe beating within you, you might come to realize the infinity of possibilities depending from that fulcrum, what T.S. Eliot called "the still point of the turning world."

As the month begins, inner work takes precedence over outer. Home and family concerns are emphasized in your life right now, and you are looking within to see the deeper picture of what these factors truly mean for you. An optimistic place inside yourself is where you are coming from, if you can dodge the bullet of mundane affairs that have an unfortunate tendency to distract you from what is really going on. There is an urge for control that also seeks to express itself fitfully at this time, perhaps through the agency of others. Your communication with others around you is multiplexed and varied right now, as befits the fractured nature of the dialog with the universe that is simultaneously playing on several screens inside your head.

At the time of the Full Moon, taking place on Sunday, June 7th, some factors of your situation may alter for the better although the rage for organization and control might become if anything more intense. Partners are helpful to you right now, if only because their level of organization exceeds your own at this critical juncture. You are seeking to integrate all your parts, and gracefully, and you just might make it happen with the energy of the cosmos steering you from underneath the level of your conscious mind, depending on how much or how little you try to take control of the wheel. It is sometime better to relax and let goddess handle the arrangements.

By the Last Quarter Moon, which takes place a week later, on Monday, June 15th, you will have perhaps a better handle of what you are attempting, or at least a better understanding of where you fall short of the mark. This is also a time when, if you allow it into your field of endeavor, surprising information might come along to correct your basic assumptions.

The New Moon a week later, taking place on Monday, June 22nd, is powerful, and conveys a sense of urgency as well as opening you up to further changes in your position. Your future plans are in flux right now, along with your sense of group identity and participation in the larger goals of the society that you find yourself in. Where does your individual sense of self begin to depart from that of the collective is the question, and the answer can only come from deep within your very own unique soul.

Overview of the Planets this month:                                Top

The Astrology of June is very powerful and features all the outer planets and Chiron along with Venus and Mars. Mercury, newly returned to direct motion, is recovering from its retrograde and in square aspect to Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune. With Mercury still in its "retrograde shadow" until it re-enters Gemini mid-month, we are well advised not to push anything during these first two weeks of June, but rather to watch and wait. We will eventually see the benefits of our striving.

Saturn, now also in direct motion, begins this month to make its next pass toward its opposition to iconoclastic Uranus. We are reminded of limitation and at the same time encouraged to move forward into a more vibrant future for ourselves and our world. Last November, Uranus was opposite status quo, stay-the-course Saturn – exact on Election Day – entirely appropriate for where the country as a whole was headed at that important juncture. We are all challenged as we try to hold onto the past while remaining exquisitely poised on the edge of an unimaginable future. This future is currently making itself more consciously felt, representing a departure from all that we have previously known.

When the Full Moon of June 7th comes along, in the middle degrees of Gemini, it squares both Saturn and Uranus, bringing consciousness to bear on their now re-forming opposition. This configuration represents the pull of the unknown versus trying to hold on, all beset by the mystery of on-going societal transformation. This next pass, the third of five exact hits, will transpire on September 15th, just a few days after Pluto turns direct in square with both Saturn and Uranus. This season is therefore proving itself to be very pivotal as we head into the amazing configurations of the years leading up to 2012.

We can expect the two weeks following June 7th to provide feelings of limitation and possibly of perfectionism, a sense of struggle with the fates that ultimately leads to learning opportunities. In the week that follows, with Uranus in the picture as well, contrasting feelings of freedom will also surface, culminating with the Last Quarter Moon of June 15th.

The Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron triple conjunction in Aquarius will fade after this summer, but it is currently still quite active and aspects Uranus one sign away in Pisces. These planets have just stationed, making them even more potent. The New Moon from the last week in May squared them as they draw to their closest point, a position of stronger influence that returns at the end of the year. The symbolism of this configuration reflects our total and unquestioned reliance on Spirit on the one hand, and on the other our fear of failing to meet our highest expectations for ourselves plus the doubt that arises naturally in the human mind when confronted by something so simple and so huge. It could be summed up by saying that we keenly feel the tragedy of our sense of separation from the godhead, even though mystics say that this sense of separation is only an illusion.

For the first week of June, Venus and Mars are in a rare mutual reception to each other, bringing them into close association for the entire month. At the time of the June 7th Full Moon, Venus enters her own sign of Taurus and remains in conjunction with Mars, meaning that the concept of right relationship with ourselves and with each other will continue to play a major role in our thought process and in our actions for this entire monthly period. The conjunction perfects with the June 20th Summer Solstice and the powerful New Moon two days later, when the Sun and Moon oppose Pluto exactly. Pluto in the early degrees of Capricorn reminds us that these climactic times are coming to us for the specific purpose of clearing away the accumulated debris of the last century, just as the snake sheds his skin, in preparation for the next level of maturation to come.

Current Moon Configurations

June 7th Full Moon
This dynamic Full Moon in Sagittarius squares Saturn, and with the Sun also squaring Saturn, forms a T-square. Saturn in Virgo is about achieving perfection through diligence and discrimination. We will feel the limitations but also the lessons of these terrible and yet beautiful times that we are privileged to be living through. Venus, newly in her own sign of Taurus, begins there to conjoin Mars, tightening up by the time of the Cancer New Moon. As they draw closer together throughout the first three weeks of the month, they conspire to support the idea of right relationship and equality between the sexes. Meanwhile, Mercury, now direct, squares the Jupiter-Chiron-Neptune triple conjunction in Aquarius, which is therefore rendered even more powerful. The theme expressed is of idealism and tremendous optimism, coupled with the need to go your own way with your ideals and find the magic touch that is just right for you, rather than continuing to reluctantly subscribe to ideas received from early conditioning or consensus thinking.

June 15th Last Quarter Moon
This time of relative tension in our ongoing process of development signals a shift in attitude – the "crisis in consciousness" of which astrologer Dane Rudhyar spoke – wherein we are able to see what has and has not worked out for us over the three proceeding weeks of the lunation cycle. This time the Moon in Pisces conjuncts Uranus, emphasizing forward motion over stagnation, over collapsing back into the same old patterns that we are ready, or in some cases more than ready, to discard. Sometimes, knowing what you need to do is at a one hundred percent level while actually doing it remains at fifty, but the consciousness of necessary change is still the most important part of the battle for control and integration.

June 22nd New Moon
The Cancer New Moon takes place just two days after the Summer Solstice and packs plenty of punch, since the Sun and Moon almost exactly oppose Pluto while Mars and Venus, now fully conjoined, are also aspected by Pluto, the New Moon and Saturn. Pluto is even more greatly emphasized since both ends of the opposition square the Aries point, or zero degrees of the Zodiac. Uranus is getting closer and closer to conjuncting the Aries point as well, although we are still a year away from that powerful event. As has been more than evident since the beginning of 2008 when it entered that sign, Pluto in Capricorn represents the on-going transformation of the structures of our lives. With Mars and Venus in conjunction also involved in this New Moon configuration, we will be taking a closer look at all our relationships and attempting to sort out the true nature of our motivations in this important area. In and increasingly smaller planet, it is only by getting along with each other that we will get ahead, survive and even thrive in these tumultuous times that we are currently living through.
