This is truly the ending of your winter of discontent, Aries, the time when you can finally breathe into the joy and the relative relief of the springtime. The positive signals are blooming all around you. The pace of change is quickening. You are on fire with it now, and your high-combustion engine is looking for action of either the stressful or the super-creative kind. This is also a time when just in order to keep up, you are required to dig deeper than ever before into the natural wisdom that is your and everyone's birthright, although not often claimed. The question is not whether you are able to rise to this occasion because you manifestly are. The question is will you.

As the month begins, you are feeling the shift in your energy following in the wake of the extremely powerful Lunar Eclipse from the end of last month, when Uranus also entered your sign. This has been a transformative year all around; but for you, this month is really over the top. Surprising enlightenment comes your way over the course of the next few weeks, leading to profound and lasting transformation in your life that takes place from the inside out. This month opens up everything for you. You will find that structural adjustments are inevitable, and that partners play an important role in determining your own way forward.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, represents a wake-up call in that regard. Communication becomes even more important but in order to have the impact that you want both for others and for yourself it must be heart-felt, arising from the very depths of your being. You are at this time summing up the wisdom of the previous three weeks of this climactic period.
The days immediately surrounding the New Moon a week later, taking place on Saturday, June 12th, constitute another potent period of time, when your personal evolution is on the line, and when partnership polarization is liable to become more pronounced. Concepts of service are important to you now. This could take the form of wondering whether you are sacrificing too much versus being of true service to others. It is also possible for health issues to arise.

It is also important to recognize at this time that you are investigating a new working out your life purpose in terms of career and spiritual practice, perhaps seeking a way to combine these. It's true for you right now that no matter what you do, it has to speak to you at the deepest possible level, and as well as rewarding your pocketbook, reward your sense of being here for a reason. One aspect of your life's endeavor lies in finding out just what that reason might be is, and the steps you take this month are an important part of that journey.

The First Quarter Moon of Friday, June 18th, could serve to make these issues even clearer, stressing the limitations inherent in your project. That weekend could perhaps also bring some point of contention to the fore in how you handle significant relationships in your life. You are on the verge of a major breakthrough that involves your heart as well as your head, in a new synthesis. You might have to cross a certain threshold of awareness to get there.

With the Summer Solstice of Monday the 21st these issues become more intense, and then by the end of that week, at the time of the very powerful Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon of Saturday, June 26th, you are at the crossroads. This is when the full implications of where you are currently engaged will manifest, in either tension or partial resolution. Things go better the more you can let go. If you let go, and then continue to keep on letting go, you will have what is not exactly a smooth ride but at least forward progress and a minimum of pain. Life is change, and this is the only real certainty for you right now.

Taurus   (April 20 - May 20)  Earth.  Ruling planet Venus.    Top

This is a month of contrasts, Taurus. On the one hand your internal life is rich and strange, with dream realities overtaking and supplementing mundane ones. Equally, you are fully engaged in present-tense and real-world activities, getting a boost from new financial initiatives and working your way toward a better understanding of how to be of true service to others in this world. You are also trying hard to see around the next bend to where a growing fanciful vision of the world in a larger sense might be taking you. Being so caught up in the grip of powerful process becomes fun when you learn to surf the wave. You are heading into the great beyond and to a very different place on the inside than where you have ever been before.

As the month begins, you are finding peace but not necessarily contentment in inner work. There is a ferment inside you, but it does not readily come out to the surface except in occasional scattered waves of energetic outbursts. A revolution that begins with inner dream realities has suddenly swamped your current plans and set them afloat in new waters.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, is traditionally a time of tension, and of reassessment. This particular period is also associated with what you intend to do in future along the lines of growthful progress versus what you feel you must to keep the financial picture as stable as possible. You are wrestling inside yourself between your head and your heart with no clear winner. It might be best to avoid the dilemma by a paradoxical side door beyond conflict that pops you out into an entirely new level.

The New Moon that comes along a week later, taking place on Saturday, June 12th, provides a dose of stability, and perhaps also of confusion, lending a spiritually uplifting quality to the reassessment of your goals. There is nothing that works for you in regard to your career choices that you make right now except "the path with heart." You also could encounter problems that come up regarding what you plan to do in concert with others; group activities, friendship, and causes you espouse. This could obviously also involve the specifics of future plans. The issues that arise are likely additionally related to old patterns of behavior that have outlived their usefulness in the present era, but which still are hanging around behind the scenes to trip you up.

You are ahead of the game when you can confront these inner demons with calmness and courage and without regard for their former ability to terrorize. Your sense of emotional safety depends on so many things, both consciously and with less than conscious awareness, so that further researches into your depths can only create greater clarity. The very basis for your security is shifting now, but moving targets are not unattractive. You are operating on an almost deceptively idealized basis in all that you plan and do.

The First Quarter Moon of Friday, June 18th, serves to ground you more thoroughly in the realities of your situation. This is a testing time period, as you contemplate your progress through the minefields of both inner and outer manifestation, and one that allows you greater scope in the end as you get a better feel for the lay of the surrounding land.

At the time of the very powerful Full Moon Eclipse in your sector of higher mind a week later, taking place on Saturday, June 26th, you are coming into yourself perhaps even more fully. Perspective shift has been part and parcel of your journey toward wholeness for many weeks now, and this end-of-month period marks an important stage in your journey. Your beliefs are all called into question at this time, and routine answers to fundamental questions about who you are and where you are headed will just not suffice any longer.

Gemini   (May 21 - June 20)  Air.  Ruling planet Mercury.    Top

Your sails are set to catch the moving air and fly, Gemini. You are rolling with the punches and creatively engaging the wild currents and the sudden shifts in wind direction. This is an absolutely beautiful period of time for you if you look at it right. Profound change still arises for you to contend with. There are old patterns threatening to pull you backwards and it's all very confusing. Plus, relationship continues to present you with a moving target and a poignant one at that. But in contrast to these difficulties, you have major ideas on the front burner, perhaps the best ones you've ever had, and the time is right for making your move. If you go with the gusto of the moment you'll never regret it.

As the month begins, you are feeling the excitement in the air from the momentum provided by Uranus egged on by Jupiter coming into your sector of goals and opportunities. You are very likely at this time to be thinking big; and not just thinking but doing. Your future plans are taking a sudden right turn and then straight on till morning. Meanwhile you are also somewhat internal in this first week of the month as well, since your ruler Mercury still occupies your sector of dreams and sensitive inner process.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, that punctuates this period of time finds you all over the psychological map, since outer world and inner, public and private selves are engaged. There could be a modicum of tension in your process right now regarding what you consider your work in the world, and also some degree of confusion there as well. You are not sure which way to turn, which is only natural. The truth is that as much as the more mundane aspects of social existence, Spirit accompanies your steps these days and you do well to remember and adjust for this factor.

The New Moon of Saturday, June 12th, in your sign shows every indicator that in any case you will be coming out of your cocoon in style. This is a very active time for you, and a time when the future blazes bright on the screen of your internal viewpoint. You have large vision right now, and ideas are coming fast and furious that could last you for many months of carrying them out. Partners may be instrumental right now in helping you to formulate your plans. You also have some serious business to conduct within the confines of your own soul, ways that you need to evolve, both spiritually and practically.

Perhaps a series of events over the past two months or so have given you some inside information regarding old and outmoded patterns of behavior that you now are finally willing to shuck, and which could come to a head at this time. If there is some discomfort surrounding these types of insights, it helps to remember that nothing that is worthwhile comes easily and that half the battle lies in recognizing how these patterns arise and somehow come to dominate your activity.

The First Quarter Moon that takes place a week later, on Friday, June 18th, might serve to push some of these ideas further forward into consciousness. This punctuates a period of time when you are sensing both the semi-illusory ideals and also the inherent limitations in your dreams and schemes. You are sailing along these days with the wind behind you, and the prospect of some very big changes within your psychic spaces on the horizon, and there is bound to be some rough water to contend with.

The final weekend of the month presents you with a Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon, taking place on Saturday, June 26th, in your sector of intimacy and personal evolution. This potent configuration represents the flowering of all that has come before it in this monthly cycle, and one fulfillment of your mandate for change. This is an intense moment for you. It could be relatively easy if you have been doing your homework and cleaning up as you went along, or else more difficult. You must accept that the freighter bearing the cargo of your former self has already left the dock. Embrace the changes that the universe is providing and they will in turn embrace you.

Cancer   (June 21 - July 22)  Water.  Ruling planet is the Moon.    Top

This is a fascinating month for you, Cancer, and an indication of even more intensity to come over the next several weeks. If your wish has always been to live in interesting times then you need to look no further. You are pulled strongly to both inner and outer worlds, like a yogi, plumbing your depths while greater and greater heights of the imagination and energy for your career affect everything that you say and do. Partners help to perfect your schemes and contribute their own madness and wisdom. While you can conceive many possibilities for yourself right now, only the path with heart has any real meaning for you. After the Summer Solstice you are energized to begin reaching out to others in a more creative way that is also uniquely yours.

As the month begins, home and family concerns are on your mind. You have been making your way through inner realities more profoundly than with regard to outer ones lately, and you are feeling internal still. Like the mythic heroes of olden days, you have been voyaging below surface of the appearance of things, down to the very core of your being, endeavoring to return to the world above with treasure. Your self-knowledge and recognition of your own inner workings is growing daily and that is the gold that you seek.

The days surrounding the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, are rich with further understanding. A moment of tension arises whereby you can more easily discern what has been gained and what lost in the process of discovery in which you are currently engaged. A rapidly shifting work environment combined with your own changes in attitude are productive of new insights that just keep coming as the month unfolds.

When the New Moon hits, on Saturday, June 12th, you are energized for both inner and outer researches, experiencing with major enthusiasm the rapidly forming new ideas for what you want to do in this world, consistent with your internal priorities. You are also digging down still further into your own psyche, while partners participate. Significant partnership in your life of one kind or another is key for you right now. There could be events arising at this juncture that highlight both their importance for you and some of the difficulties that that weight implies. You are definitely on the road to big changes. At some moment you are forced to recognize that a seismic shift is occurring that affects not only relationship issues but every other part of you.

At the time of the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 18th, you are trying to see what of all the many paths that can be taken are viable. You might feel pulled in several directions all at once, to relationship mysteries, or perhaps toward powerful presentations that enlarge the scope of your career practices. You are also experiencing greater steadiness on the home front.

At the time of the June 21st Summer Solstice, with the entrance of the Sun into your sign and also with the advent by weeks end of the extremely potent and far-reaching Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of Saturday, June 26th, you come to a culmination of sorts, and the jumping-off point for further changes. You are at last moving in what you feel to be the right direction. With further revelations still to come, you have rounded one bend of the spiral path up the mountain of your particular destiny.

Leo   (July 23 - August 22)  Fire.  Ruling planet is the Sun.    Top

Your higher mind is buzzing, Leo. There is a field of dreams beyond right and wrong, beyond mundane considerations of any kind, and you are slowly aligning yourself there. What you wish for at this juncture will come to pass, especially after the mid-month New Moon, so you are advised to wish carefully. Coming to a startling new vision of future progress affects real-world priorities as well as mystical ones. Something fundamental is changing in the way you see yourself and your role as you engage the world. There might suddenly be a way for you to discover true soul purpose in the regular commitments you make to life in the here-and-now. If there is, you will find it.

As the month begins, you are likely contemplating your next move, searching for a fit between where you are heading and what you now perceive as your life purpose. This month represents the beginning of a weeks-long shift in how you see your world and your place in it, and you are on the road to a more self-fulfilled future even as it gets off the ground. This is providing of course that you can take the turn when it presents itself, and not waste very much time dilly-dallying around. There are painful places within your psyche that you must negotiate, as with every stage of growth, but on the whole you are in a very good place right now and have every chance of improving your situation if you face it with the courage of your convictions.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, might bring up issues that you have not fully recognized, and could in this way give you pause in your quest for self-knowledge. Called by noted astrologer Dane Rudhyar the "crisis in consciousness," this part of the lunation cycle helps to bring to mind all that is lacking in a given plan, thereby increasing awareness of the pitfalls as well as the brilliant ideas you have thus far managed to glean. You might also feel the conflict of your sense of soul purpose versus the priorities of others in your life, or of how you see your most promising pathway forward.

The New Moon that follows a week later, taking place on Saturday, June 12th, brings fresh energy and awareness to your project. New recognition of the places you have been planning to visit in your mind or in terms of actual physical travel might well come up for you at this juncture, or even of the ones that you currently occupy. These last two weeks of the month also present you with your best opportunity all year to vision new possibilities for yourself and make potentially drastic but ultimately necessary course corrections. Whatever you sincerely wish for during this period has a great chance to manifest, especially when it is in alignment with your highest intention for yourself.

Your work in the world that you perform each day takes on an added significance now and places itself in service to the transformation of routine structure into ideals of cosmic connection. You are so energized and illuminated by this newfound awareness of what matters most to you that you might over-idealize the power of your personal evolution or the partnership connections that enable progress along this path, but a healthy dose of holding back is also part of the mix of energies surrounding you at this time, and allows you to remain in a relative state of balance.

This sense of process becomes highlighted by the First Quarter Moon of Friday, June 18th, which might serve to hold you even further back from the fullest expression of enthusiasm, as you are forced to recognize the inherent limitations of your situation.

Another turning point is reached by the time of the extremely powerful Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse that takes place a week later, on Saturday, June 26th. You are at the crossroads of your destiny now, and bringing all your being to bear, both inner and outer. The world you formerly inhabited still has its hold on you but the call of the new one that awaits you is stronger, and will prevail.

Virgo   (August 23 - September 22)  Earth.  Ruling planet Mercury.   Top

Something is happening here, Virgo. A new you is emerging from the very depths of your soul. Over the past month you have come to a renewed understanding of the world and of your place within it, and now you are ready to capitalize on this burgeoning awareness. Make no mistake about it - focused transformation in the face of challenges continues. A growing appreciation of the significant relationships in your life is accompanied by a new-found grasp of the many ways that you continue to trip yourself up in that area. As you gain in self-knowledge over the course of this entire month you will arrive at a new point of departure for the changes still taking place, and it is paradoxically the very same one that you have been experiencing within yourself all along.

As the month begins, you are feeling the power of the Full Moon from the end of last month, which activated your sector of home and family. This area of your life has been subject to many different ideas lately and is about to take another growth spurt. Either that or you might find a sudden turning of a corner so that new vistas open up for you. These could be regarding your spiritual/emotional home base, family dynamics or your actual physical domicile, symbolic of these.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, brings significant partners into the picture also. There are potential conflicts between your outer world agenda and what the pull of relationship in your life actually calls for, and these can obviously provide valuable lessons. You are in any case in the mode of summing up the revelations from the past three weeks and, whether you know it yet or not, preparing for even more profound insights still to come.

When the New Moon of Saturday, June 12th, takes place a week later, it brings along with it a fresh energy for career priorities in your life. You are earnestly engaged in exercising your outer world proclivities but not to the neglect of inner ones also, which are calling to you ever more insistently. You are going through further stages of your metamorphosis with each passing week, and some are surprising in the suddenness with which they come on. At this transformationally active time, partners prove both a blessing and a wake-up call for necessary change. The painful places of past partnership challenges - the ghosts of relationship past - are very present for you now.

You might find that old patterns of behavior rise up out of your depths to disturb your peace of mind. You might even be tempted to duck or somehow escape these experiences as too difficult. The way past these is the way through them, however. When you can accept this part of yourself, even though it might be perhaps unpleasant to contemplate, you have taken the first step toward healing these issues. Afterwards, they will continue to show up but no longer to haunt you quite so badly.

The First Quarter Moon of the following week, taking place on Friday, June 18th, is another time of taking stock. You can see even more clearly at this point the difficulties and the drawbacks of what you are attempting in terms of needed changes, and also the road that safely leads you through the mine fields of negative thinking to a brighter vision of your possibilities. Through the archetypal influences that surround you this month, you have a terrific chance to make favorable alterations in your circumstances.

When the potent Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of June 26th comes upon you, it represents both a culmination of one phase of your arc of transformation and a further call to action. Through the choices that you make over this pivotal month, you are preparing a way for yourself to move more gracefully into a future orientation that works for you better than the ones that came before it. You are making a difference not only for yourself but also for the planetary collective that you serve and to which you more than fundamentally belong.


Libra   (September 23 - October 22)  Air.  Ruling planet Venus.    Top

This is a joyful month for you Libra, but also one that carries its own sense of renewed responsibility. You have intuitively felt the coming changes of the ensuing weeks that lead into the heart of the summer, and now the evidence is more pressing. You are rearranging your thinking on important aspects of your situation while changing at the very core of your being. Relationship with significant partners in your life provides both impetus and some curve balls that threaten to throw you off-track. Family issues might also loom large. What is paramount and what you must keep firmly in mind is the unfolding process of your own journey into wholeness. Follow that path and everything else around you falls into place, even gracefully.

As the month begins, you are still taking in the effects of the powerful Full Moon from the end of last month, when Uranus powered into Aries, your opposite sign and therefore also a representation of the relationship part of your existence. Uranus signals a radical break from prior experience in this important area, a break that is yet in some ways a continuation of prior connection, but with a twist. This is a pivotal month for you, when many things in your life could fundamentally alter, and this current phase opens a door to others even more massive still to come. When you reach for the top of your climb, as the poet says, hills peep over hills, and alp on alp arise. This is true for every child of the scales and especially so if you were born or have your rising in the early degrees of the sign.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, is pivotal for you. You have be0en involved for many weeks now with issues of deep transformation, as you plumb your depths for answers to questions that you didn't even know that you had asked, and that have in fact affected every part of your being. Your home base has morphed to include a wider definition of what family can mean, while relationships in your life have been through many visions and revisions as you grapple with who you really are at the core. The way that you show up in the world, graceful as always, has hardly changed in comparison to what has been seething within the underpinnings of your public statement.

The New Moon of Saturday, June 12th, constitutes another important milestone, when new energy comes in for seeing the world differently and thus changing it. You are trying on a new vision of not only the world around you but also your proper place within it that allows you to embody your highest vision for yourself. There is an inherent idealism in your pursuit of the golden apple of fully conscious soul purpose, and many turnings of the road along the way, but you can't let that stop you from trying.

The First Quarter Moon a week later, taking place on Friday, June 18th, might represent one of these turnings, a time when the tension of opposites confounds you and a sense of limitation threatens to impede forward progress.

After a pivotal weekend, the Summer Solstice dawns on Monday, June 21st, and initiates you into a productive week that culminates with the strong Full Moon Eclipse of Saturday, June 26th. You are more fully aware by now of the importance of what you are attempting, as you dig down into the underworld of your inner workings and seek to return with the treasure that unites head and heart. This final weekend of the month represents a crossroads when many things in your life, including your relationship dynamics, become clearer, and when you can see the path that lies before you. You are entering still another new phase, and must proceed with caution and circumspection and also courage. You might suffer from the decisions you must make now, but then in another way you have no real choice but to forge ahead.

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

You are in your element, Scorpio. The tides of change are sweeping through you and it is massive transformation that you thrive on. In your case this involves taking another look at where you are heading in your life and why. You will have to contend with the usual barriers, feelings perhaps of not good enough or of the limitations of consensus thinking that attempts to hold you back from what you know in your heart you must do for yourself. It does not pay to be shy about the moves that your inner guidance system is urging upon you right now. This is your one and only life and it is up to you to live it.

As the month begins, you are full of fantasy, envisioning a better and smarter future for yourself, one more fully aligned with where you would like to see yourself evolving toward, if you had a magic wand and could wave it. These last few days leading up to the present moment have been filled with wonder, not least because you are sensing a new world moving toward you as much as you are moving toward it. Your highest intention has always involved gaining access to this positive forward motion and understanding it, so that you are more conscious of the choices that you are in any case seemingly destined to make. You are once more standing on the threshold of change, and seeking to discover how you might embrace it more wholeheartedly.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, confirms in you this paradoxical feeling of fated process, one that takes you further out of yourself as well as into the very depths of your being. You are transcending old patterns of behavior that have held you back for far too long, through the path of understanding rather than that of forceful striving, and seeking intimacy with significant others in your life as a way to break through your own inner barriers to self-knowledge.

With the arrival of the New Moon in your sector of personal transformation, taking place on Saturday, June 12th, you are ready to take that all-important step into the void, throwing caution to the winds without knowing really where you will wind up. Something inside you calls you to explore the path of service to others as an ultimate criterion of relevance. There are brilliant ideas floating about you now and you could seize on any one of them; but only the path that takes you closer to what represents soul purpose for you makes any sense at all, over the long term.

You are pushing off from the shores where you have felt safe, in exchange for an unknown and constantly receding horizon, and are likely tempted to deny your mandate for change and remain comfortably cocooned. You might as well break your association with the past however for you can no more remain wrapped in soft silk walls than the butterfly can when the time has come to begin the painful process of spreading her wings.

The First Quarter Moon of Friday, June18th, finds you potentially laboring, having reached a crossroads of a sort as you try to find the way through to your next important phase. The resistance within you that you were reluctant to recognize has raised its wise and frightened old head and you must deal all over again with choices that you thought were already made. It is possible also that surprising twists and turns along the way may give you momentary pause, as you continue to strive to align your world view with the future rather than dwell on past glory. The courage of your convictions will prevail in the end but the sailing is not as smooth at this mid-month juncture as you would likely have hoped for.

When the very powerful Full Moon Eclipse comes along at almost the very end of the month, taking place on Saturday, June 26th, in your communication sector, you are prone to discussing recent victories and defeats as a way to more thoroughly understand them and to be finally able to push past your fears. It's a brave new world that you are emerging into and the only one that you have left to convince anymore is yourself.

Sagittarius   (Nov 22 - Dec 21)  Fire.  Ruling planet Jupiter.   Top

You've got your ticket to ride, Sagittarius, and now you must board the train. There is really nothing else that you can do. Bravery is a fundamental part of your makeup in any case so there is little to stop you now, or even to slow you down. A deep process of transformation at the core drives you onward. The evidence is all around you in the way that you manifest in the world and your sudden and amazingly brilliant creativity in the face of challenge. Partners in your life are helpful now in spurring you on, and are taking a new importance in your agenda for change. A fundamental shift in your values is preparing the way forward, parting the waters like Moses and the Red Sea.

As the month begins, you are still likely feeling the strength of the very powerful Full Moon in your sign from nearly the end of last month, which therefore represented a balancing act between yourself and another. This is in any case a time of ongoing epiphanies, and a good part of the enlightenment comes your way through the agency of significant others in your life. You are on a roll, but it is also important that you learn which direction suits you best and how to roll your own.

As you ease into these ideas in a more solid way, the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, stimulates your heart center, and brings up issues as well as perhaps solutions. You have been down into your depths before and that is what is called for now, as you sort through the past three weeks and attempt to find the gold among the chaff. This is a very special time, and caps a powerful cycle that brings you closer to what you think might be the best of what you can offer, a manner in which you can both "bless and be blessed." Especially on the evening of the 5th you find that an electric atmosphere prevails and carries you through many veils of perception.

The New Moon a week later, taking place on Saturday, June 12th, gives you fresh energy for your process, and, since you are now ready for them, brings up even more issues. You are raring to go at this time, and consciously including significant others in your life as a strong part of the picture, or at least as one of the more important puzzle pieces. You are reinventing your life right now from the inside out, and also from the outside in since Mars in your career sector is pushing you forward toward achievement.

It is true that you are changing mightily throughout this period, both in the way you show up in the world and in the way that you perceive yourself in both present and future tenses. A steadiness is there to compliment your more flighty moments and will come to be more evident as you navigate the next few weeks and begin to seriously plan for a different future than the one toward which you thought you were heading.

The First Quarter Moon of Friday, June 18th, is another powerful time for you. Your personal escapades are productive of major shifts in consciousness for both your inner and your outer personalities and are beginning, to paraphrase the bard, to amount to something rich and strange. The polarities and paradoxes of your situation are more pronounced than ever, and your mission is to somehow leap between the horns or your dilemma without landing on your face.

When the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon comes along on Saturday, June 26th, you are seeing issues of self and other in an entirely new light, and one that opens as many doors as it closes. Your values are both shared and uniquely yours as you sort through the hall of mirrors that you find yourself in these days. When you stare at your partner you find yourself looking back at you.

Capricorn   (Dec 22 - Jan 19)  Earth.  Ruling planet Saturn.   Top

The season of your breakthrough is upon you, Capricorn. You are opening up to a new vision of yourself and your world in the midst of changing realities. The roller-coaster ride of this pivotal year for you is now culminating; the painful part only comes when you try to hold onto the rails of past assurances and resist the tides of inadvertent progress. All month long, a series of preparatory moves lead you toward more direct action next month. The ground beneath your feet seems shaky, and there are rapid-fire alterations of the circumstances of home and family life that affect you deeply, but if you can steel yourself to surf these waves you will come through with flying colors. Remember to breathe.

As the month begins, you are feeling your way through newly observed parts of your inner workings that have recently come to light. You are in some ways reinventing yourself through this period. There is a revolution going on deep within you and your stability suffers thereby. Your communication lately is from the heart and involves not only an inordinate depth process but is also confusing to you in no small measure when you attempt to follow with shifting internal guidelines the thread of the normal mundane world that surrounds you.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, brings a moment of tension to your process and along with it perhaps a sense of limitation as well, as you mull over the experiences of the last three weeks and sum up the lessons learned. You are seeking to find how you can match up your head and your heart in determining a pathway forward consistent with your highest purpose for yourself.

The New Moon that comes along a week later, taking place on Saturday, June 12th, brings fresh energy to this process, and fresh issues to be found within the ideals and the illusions inherent in your search. You are in some measure in your element now, establishing yourself in the world of public achievement in a novel manner that takes into account information from the depths of your being as well as the surface avenues that constitute the more normal standard. You are, as shamanic tradition puts it, seeking the path with heart as the only possible way forward right now.

Your communication to others around you now might be one clue to where you are heading. Rather than surface chatter you tend to speak from the standpoint of great depth concerning potentially painful issues and to the point. Relationships in your life serve you now in bringing you closer to a mystical perspective, while a revolution at the core of your being spurs you on.

The First Quarter Moon of Friday, June 18th, brings an element of tension to your process.

This is a powerful time in your life, Aquarius, and cosmic forces are conspiring with you now to make the most of it. Artistic creativity is upon you, and whatever you do to exercise it will have far greater impact than usual, especially if it takes the form of speaking or writing. You have a lot to say at this juncture. You have journeyed to the depths of your being in recent weeks and then back out again, bringing with you the impetus for new self-realization. All month long you are in the process of trying out these new wings, so that by month's end you are coming at your soul purpose from an entirely different angle, responding to the sea of change within you that speaks to you with many and profound voices.

As the month begins, you are rocking steady, firming up your opinions and viewpoints, perhaps turning a corner in what you allow yourself to see. There is still inherent confusion in how you choose to apply your ideals to your more practical sense of reality. Your efforts at putting all this into words has a lot of verve and power behind them, but it is increasingly hard to pin down exactly what you mean to say, so that you might find yourself arguing the opposite position a moment later.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, these feelings are if anything intensified. You might discover in yourself a communication celebration, and eve more so by the time the weekend completes. There is joy in the imparting of powerful information and a spiritual quality to all that you do and say. You are able to more fully comprehend and embrace, with perhaps a touch of melancholy, the paradoxical nature of your all-too-human heart. It is a learning experience that comes to you above all right now.

The New Moon that comes along a week later, taking place on Saturday, June 12th, represents a fresh start. You are in the midst of both exuberance and some pain as you contemplate your darker and deeper nature. You are also capable of seeing the world at times through the rose-colored glasses of a recently unfettered imagination. A joy-filled learning experience continues to both amuse and baffle you while you seek liberation as well as comfort in the arms of significant partners. You are embracing your inner spiritual warrior who might double as Merlin in the story that you are weaving for yourself.

The First Quarter Moon of Friday, June 18th, brings an element of tension to your process as you don your hero garb one more time to try the fit. What glitters for you now is no longer the gold of commerce but of inner wisdom; friend and family alike can aid you, if you will let them, in order that you more deeply appreciate this idea.

With the Full Moon Eclipse toward the end of the month, taking place on Saturday, June 26th, you are more committed than ever and are seeking to find out exactly what it is that you have signed up for. In the midst of this extremely powerful transition period it is only that which sings in you right down to the very core of your being to which you must dedicate yourself.

Pisces   (Feb 19 - March 20)  Water. Ruling planets Neptune, Jupiter.   Top

This is an exciting month for you, Pisces. You are not only tired of the same-old same-old, you are simply not going to put up with it any longer. A moment of truth has been reached. An alternative future now appears if not bright and self-evidently available, at least more possible than it was yesterday. Home and family and security take on an entirely new meaning. You are attempting a massive shift in how you conceive your pathway forward, working without a net but with the confidence that comes from a one-pointed awareness that what you are doing is the only thing that you can do. While forging forward in new terms of outward manifestation you are also bringing others in your life into balance with your own process of vision and revolution.

As the month begins, you are even more fully invested in your feelings than you usually are, in the wake of the extremely dynamic Full Moon from the end of last month. It took place in your sector of outer manifestation, and while you are exploring your depths right now, you are simultaneously reveling in the opportunity to expand in what you bring to the table in terms of your public statement. There could also be sudden shifts and turnings in this area as the first two weeks of this pivotal month unfold.

The Last Quarter Moon of Friday, June 4th, punctuates this period and represents a trade-off between action and the recognition of limitation to action, resulting - if all goes well - in increased knowledge of exactly what it is that you are up to. Something within you is struggling to be born over the course of this monthly cycle, and it comes from deep inside you. It might begin with a whisper so it pays to keep your ears tuned inwardly. Also to consider are any painful issues that are buried somewhere down below your level of conscious interaction. These result from past trauma, and they must be exhumed and accepted as valid pieces of your picture puzzle before you can successfully move past them.

The New Moon that comes along on Saturday, June 12th, represents a fresh start with inner work, and a chance to observe the incipient fruits of your labor as you grow toward wholeness. You are moving swiftly along your foreordained track which could include shucking old patterns of behavior that no longer serve you, and enlisting the aid of active partners in order to get yourself there. Finances fluctuate but it must be said that change is part of natural process and these might even help you to move more successfully beyond the merely material. The time is right and even ripe for major breakthrough and you after all have nothing to lose but your chains.

The First Quarter Moon a week later on the 18th allows you to further explore your choices and puts them to the difficult but surmountable test of matching up against hard-nosed reality. Whatever you are attempting in this second half of the month is undoubtedly more work than you originally thought.

More powerful, and what might prove more of a shake-up, is the Full Moon Eclipse that follows a week later, taking place on Saturday, June 26th. This potent configuration lines you up with all your possibilities in a new way, that is yet the culmination of what has gone before it. You are stretching to meet your future, and only you know what that entails. If you fall, you fall alone, but take courage because if you should stand, then an entirely new world opens up for you.
