Aires   Taurus   Gemini   Cancer   Leo   Virgo   Libra   Scorpio   Sagitt   Capric   Aquar   Pisces   Overview

The beat of massive change continues, Aries. As the pressure for total transformation grows, so too does your understanding of what you are up to, from the largest possible perspective. You are gathering the resources that you will need for your next stage of personal evolution, not least of which is the willingness to go there. You are both inspired and forward-looking at this time, discovering surprising enlightenment around each corner, and yet holding back somewhat. Communication is key. You are encountering a conservative trend within you perhaps enacted by significant partners in your life, and secretly embodying your own balancing tendencies. By see-sawing in this way you are nevertheless steadily moving onward, integrating boundless enthusiasm with a more practical and grounded sense of both forward momentum and the limitations to your progress.

As the month begins, relationship is on your mind. You are beginning to recognize that communication is the name of the game in making your connections to others count, whether for romantic or simple personal interactions. There is a potent message coming your way lately from significant others in your life – indications that you must remain practical even in the face of your wildest impulse to assert your individuality in the most unique way possible. As you dream large, you are at the same time held back. Too weighted down by circumstances to fly, you are tempted to blame others rather than yourself, especially significant partners. You might feel both confined and resentful of constraints as this powerful month unfolds. The New Moon and Solar Eclipse at the very beginning of the month, taking place on June 1st, exacerbates these feelings and represents one crux of the energy for radical change and impulsive individuality that characterizes your present journey. You are simultaneously pushed to exceed former limits and held back by a conservative estimation of limitation on what is concretely realizable.

Those born in the first half of the sign, in March or early April, will be particularly caught in the crossfire of radically transformative and conservative energies. This polarity is symbolized by Uranus in your sign opposed by Saturn in your relationship sector and squared by Pluto in the sector of your outer world expression. It all gets more intense as the summer rolls along, but fades somewhat in the late fall and winter months, to emerge with greater intensity during the spring of 2012. Although next year's configuration is minus the rampant negativity of the Saturn factor, you might expect even greater and more radically intense changes by then. This is of course also what the entire society and all its individuals are also currently going through, although you Aries persons find yourselves in the vanguard of these changes.

Getting back to the current cycle, the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, June 8th, brings up issues of whether these radical impulses, stemming from the very beginning of the month, are truly viable. One part of you is rooting for moving ahead as rapidly as possible while another lags far behind, but it is the innovative enthusiast and as well the dreamer in you that has the upper hand. The future almost always has an edge when it comes down to it , winning out as it must over the dead and dying past tense of old patterns and proclivities.

With the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon of Wednesday, June 15th, there might be a quiet space reached, a kind of plateau of change, a place where you might be able to take a breather from the flux and torrential flow of events. You are choosing now to find your destiny in higher mind activity, and the influence of your guardian angel guides, rather than by subscribing to the mundane world of consensus thought. The Summer Solstice also holds much positive symbolism for you.

Last Quarter Moon in your sign of Thursday, June 23rd, signals a time of reassessment and reevaluation, when you are taking a look back as well as forward. This is a time when you can measure your progress toward the high ideals which you currently espouse, and which are echoed in the ongoing rush of events and the month's rapidly unfolding personal evolution.

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

This is a powerful time for you, Taurus, one filled with numinous grace and yet practical concerns as well that can come to dominate your thinking if you let them. What currently focalizes your attention is your concept of available resources. You are successfully fighting off perceived lack with the help of the inspiration of angel guidance from the depths of your psyche, slowly transforming your perspective as you prepare to more fully enter a major new phase. Service to others around you is an important touchstone. You have reached a plateau of relative comfort in the midst of change. It's been a long road to where you have currently aligned yourself and it is a longer one still to go, but the truest joy is not with the arrival but the journeying.

As the month begins, you are full of activity, charging forward with at least one part of your psyche – perhaps you could consider it the world of events and possibilities – while with another side of yourself you are holding back. You are entering into an essentially transformational period of time, when relationship with significant others in your life is quite important but when an equally strong motif lies in finding your own sense of self. Your finances and the resources available to you to facilitate your quest for wholeness also constitute an important theme as the month unfolds.

The New Moon and Solar Eclipse of Wednesday, June 1st, emphasizes these ideas and brings to you a strong sense of yourself and your evolving beliefs, including how you mean to ultimately spend your time in the accomplishment of your deeper aims. You are simultaneously caught up with relationship limitations as well as its plusses. There is an idealistic streak in you brought out now that can also result in some degree of confusion about where you are headed. You could find that your ordinary run of the mill take on reality leaves you hungry for more, while at the same time remaining unsure what a more soulful direction for your life would look like or how exactly it could work.

With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, June 8th, these difficulties become even more fully present so that you must make use of discrimination to see your way through. You possess at this time a great deal of native optimism and a strong intuition that leads you to spiritual rather than ordinary solutions, and so might feel tempted to commit to almost anything on either side of this divide, and yet not just anything will do. This lunar phase is traditionally a time when you must reckon with the drawbacks as well as the advantages of your planned developments, and take into account the constrictions as well as the more freely flowing correlates to your expanding vision. In the days immediately following, your ruler Venus enters your sector of values and resources, giving you a financial boost, although you still have a sense of the limitation inherent within the everyday parameters of your life.

The Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon taking place a week later, on Wednesday, June 15th, ushers in a period of relatively peaceful acquiescence to whatever is actually happening. You possess a great deal of trust that the universe will be on your side so that you might be able to close your eyes and simply allow events to unfold.

The Summer Solstice comes along on the 21st and brings powerful healing along with it, obviously a good time for ritual and for receiving whatever messages you might be able to glean from an unobvious source. This is also a good opportunity for you to actively reach out to others around you with either spoken or written communication initiatives.

The Last Quarter Moon two days later, taking place on Thursday, June 23rd, continues this theme, and represents an important time of reflection and for tuning in to higher wisdom. Your intuition speaks volumes at this particular juncture and could be your most reliable information source. As you mull over the past three weeks of this powerful cycle you are attempting to piece together a viewpoint that takes into account both the successes and the failures of your current approach.

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

Spring is popping for you Gemini, both physically and metaphorically. Yet even as you reach for adventurous exploration, you are solidifying a more conservatively centered sense of yourself. New beginnings are powerfully constellated at this juncture. You will find that the cosmically illuminated component of your existence is calling you forward even more poignantly then the merely physical side that is occupied with the routine details of life and living. Although you are also fraught with second guessing, so that with another part of yourself you are holding back, there can be great satisfaction in your drift toward the mystical and the numinous. The tension of these opposite tendencies is creative, and leads you forward, by fits and starts, to precisely the place that you have needed all this time to go.

As the month begins, with a Solar Eclipse in your sign on the very first day of the month, you are seriously concerned with your future and the challenges that it holds. There is excitement in the air for you and a certain element of moxie and pizzazz as you continue to scale the walls of your destiny. There is a degree of trepidation also, as you contemplate the massive uncertainty of these times. You are feeling very idealistic regarding career pursuits and new initiatives that you are ready to undertake, and yet uncertain about what this ultimately means for you as regards your own spiritual evolution, which is also a powerful factor for you now. As you continue to feel the progress within you of an unworldly set of goals and attitudes, you currently walk an intensely interesting tightrope between the practical and the wildly impractical and must struggle to find the most appropriate compromise.

The energy of this powerful Solar Eclipse New Moon of the 1st, and the days immediately following, bring you to an expanded sense of worldly purpose and also, unexpectedly, of a more spiritually oriented set of motivations that lead you through to your inner world even as you keep close touch with the outer one of events. While you are also in touch with the careful grounding of yourself and your creativity, you continue to remain tremendously idealistic about your work in the world. While it is true that you very much care about outer circumstances, even in the midst of your deepest sense of spiritual evolution, there is another way that the mundane details of life matter less and less as you begin to fully explore this month's challenges and changes.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, June 8th, brings along with it a reminder of some of the difficulties of your current arc of development. You are apt to become confused at this juncture, as you try to sort out the possible from the illusory in attempting to bring your vast idealism into fruition. You have the notion that the life you are living now is brand new, has never been done before, and yet, astoundingly, it is the same old you and the same old clothes that you are wearing.

With the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon of Wednesday, June 15th, you might feel as though you have arrived at a kind of fulfillment. The eclipse takes place in your sector of relationship, and brings along with it a spiritual sense of oneness with the surrounding cosmos, as exemplified by particular partners. A sense of spiritual or vertical motivation is also very present for you at this time, along with the urge and necessity for personal metamorphosis. Constricting Saturn remains strongly constellated in your creativity sector, although with Saturn moving forward now, some of the pressure that it represents might be lessening. The Summer Solstice of Tuesday, June 21st, is another magical time for you when paradise could almost blossom upon the earth.

Then the Last Quarter Moon two days later, taking place on Thursday, June 23rd, presages a thoughtful period of reflection on all that has happened over the last three weeks of the cycle. You are meditating constructively on all that has been gained, particularly in terms of increased awareness. This last week of the month is also time for renewed activity more in line with a future direction that really works for you, long term, and that satisfies both unworldly and mundane considerations.

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

This is your season, Cancer, and it is up to you to make the most of it. The eclipses of June provide seismic shocks that lead you to inner realizations that are startling and also life-changing. You are being called upon to exercise worldly activities in a new way that takes Spirit more fully into account. You could be rocking your existence after the June 21st Summer Solstice, although leading up to that time you are far more internally centered. This has been an interesting spring for you, as you weather the storms of major shake-ups and gather your energies to expand your capabilities in a truly mystical fashion. You wind up by assuming all the consensus thinking that has lead you to this point and then going beyond it.

As the month begins, you are intensely feeling the energy of the New Moon and Solar Eclipse from the very first day of the month, which takes place in your sector of dream imagination. You are pulled to the inside by this energy, to the detriment of living in the so-called real world around you that rather than actual seems instead like a fantasy mirage. Active imagination and dream life are now more fully present to you than the waking world. This sets the tone for the remainder of the lunar cycle, although by Friday, June 3rd, the Moon in your own sign will give you a feeling of comfort and a more secure footing in the world of concrete events.

The following weekend also, Jupiter moves into your sector of future plans. You remain in quite an internal space for this period, with also the excitement of novel goals and friendship associations looming on the horizon. You are very future-oriented now, and yet also are pulled back by the past, and by a conservative motivation to work things out in the world of concretized reality as well as the one of dreams and fantasies. There is a tremendous collusion of heart and mind that is going on with you at this time, and it brings you into greater integration with regard to hidden factors within and your more conscious self.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, June 8th, represents a test of your ability to be agile and pull all these disparate factors together in a way that permits you to move ahead more freely with practical professional plans coupled to mystic vision, and yet also within the constraints imposed by your own internal standards. You are not completely letting go of the past and your early conditioning, however much you might be tempted by the new and the unknown. In one way you are exercising freedom from the tried and true systems of your childhood and yet in another way you are still bound to them.

With the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon of Wednesday, June 15th, you are reaching for a new synthesis. This is a time when the magic of your potential finally outweighs the negative or restrictive holdovers from the past, and when you are more completely and almost mystically drawn to a sense of a higher purpose in your life working through you. The Summer Solstice that comes along a few days later, on Tuesday, the 21st, represents another time of renewal. Of course this is always a significant time for you, ushering in as it does your birthday time of the year.

With the Last Quarter Moon two days later, taking place on Thursday, June 23rd, you are coming into yourself even more fully. This is traditionally a time of new awareness great gains in the wisdom of your choices, as you reflect on where the activities and events of the past three weeks have lead you. With this particular monthly cycle it is also a time of exciting visions of what you might accomplish in the future. The remainder of the summer is especially powerful in regard to important changes that you might be able to make, starting with the following month of July that begins with yet another eclipse, this time in your sign.

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

This is an amazing month for you, Leo, when you will have flashes of new insights and get a better handle on future direction. Your wishes are powerful now so you must choose wisely. As you feel the future moving toward you at express-train speed, new perspectives abound, including negative imaginings. The glass feels at times half-empty, at times half-full, and mostly overflowing. This is wonderfully exciting from the standpoint of revolutionary ardor and ultimately of spiritual development. Your task is to sort out, as carefully as you are able, the wheat of true evolutionary experience from the chaff of spinning your wheels, which includes illusion and even delusion. If you can achieve that you will be sitting pretty, or at least as pretty as you can, in a challenging and stimulating new world.

As the month begins, you are feeling the energy of the New Moon and Solar Eclipse in your sector of networking and evolving future plans. You are moving forward toward vastly different and perhaps more exciting ideas of what the next few years might hold for you. These include an expansive sense of career possibilities, serious commitment to expressing your truth and extending your educational possibilities, and a mystical sense of compassion and oneness taking hold at the very core of your being. All these factors are energized by the tidal force of this extra-potent New Moon taking place on the very first day of the month. The excitement of a dawning world view and sense of your own potency is matched by an even deeper sense of the likelihood for losses to manifest, and for painful process, as you navigate these potentially confusing new waters of personal evolution. You feel committed to staying within the relative safety of your home base and circle of friendship at the same time that you feel the thrust of outward bound and surprisingly uninhibited new alliances. This is an excellent time to vision new possibilities for yourself into being, with the understanding that in whatever direction you shoot your arrow you have a good chance of making your plans come to fruition.

With the advent of the First Quarter Moon that comes along on Wednesday, June 8th, you might be tempted to emphasize the down side over your accomplishments thus far. This is traditionally the time in the cycle when the rubber meets the road of progress and when difficulties can mount, and on top of that, it must be acknowledged that with Saturn so prominent it has been a somewhat thorny time for you and everyone else lately. You have compensation and an advantage however in that the momentum of your development carries you far enough ahead that you might be able to think your way out of it.

The mid-month Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of Wednesday, June 15th, is powerful for you, and takes you to a new plateau of your development. You are simultaneously exploring your individual creativity and the way that your unique contribution plugs in to ongoing societal efforts that you espouse. It is difficult and perhaps painful to get things done but you win when you recognize that the best way to do is to be. If your aim is true you might be able to just relax with it and let the universe see you through.

At the time of the Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, June 23rd, you will be able to look back on your path – that has lead you up to this final week of the month – with a degree of equanimity and enlivened perspective. There are seeds of wisdom to be garnered from your evolving situation and the consequences of events thus far that can be profitably brought forward into next month's cycle. Your most reliable guideposts now are insubstantial ones.

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

This is an excellent month for you, Virgo, especially if you enjoy being shot out of a cannon. After a period of relative stagnation, there are changes that you are now ready to make and multifaceted talents to dive into. A fundamental instability at the very core of your being is scary but productive. Even though the outcome is uncertain, there is no time like the present for exploiting your opportunities and moving forward. You are still held back by perhaps too great a reliance on the solid ground of what you already know, so that the progress that you seek must stitch together all your assets, including past beliefs and impossible dreams and longings. Once you get over your natural hesitation, it is a vibrant and exciting future that awaits you.

As the month begins, you find yourself quite busy with real-world concerns, and yet also somehow called to a deeper meaning. You are definitely enjoying the energy of this very powerful Solar Eclipse in your career sector, and also have the sneaking feeling that you are focused on outer achievement to the point of distracting yourself from what is truly going on inside you. There is a way that you are transforming your approach to others and to yourself so that your sense of your own identity is shifting even as you act outwardly with seeming confidence upon the world stage. There is a journey that you are taking that is down as well as up, and that leads you closer to your true Self. Your task over these next few weeks is to discern the extent to which your activities match up with this inner process of discovery.

The energy of the New Moon and Solar Eclipse carries you far. You are coming into a new inner alignment with your highest purpose for yourself and you can feel that it is the wave of the future for you. And yet you are simultaneously held back by what you believe to be possible. A poet once said that only by ignoring the seeming limitations of the cave of our beliefs in which we are encapsulated and imprisoned can we accomplish the truly remarkable feat of transcending them; for then, "a graceful error may correct the cave."

With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, June 8th, you are facing the complications and conflicts inherent in what you are attempting, and making valuable course corrections that will enable you to overcome these seeming contradictions. You are very idealistically motivated right now and yet are at times uncertain of your ability to deliver the goods. You might also have an inclination to put significant partners up on a pedestal these days and could unexpectedly find that they have their feet of clay. It helps to relax and just breathe – allowing the fundamental beneficence of the universe to hold sway.

The Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon takes place a week later, on Wednesday, June 15th, and it presents you with the impulse for truly balancing the various energies in your life, inner and outer, practical and far-out woo-woo, public and personal, self and other. Home and family issues come into the picture now, perhaps in the form of a saving grace.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, June 23rd, you are reflecting profitably on everything that has gone down in this month's cycle thus far, while imagining the developmental changes that could be forming up on your horizon. Your vision for what you could yet become is as strong as ever, and although you can put off needed changes for as long as you are able, it will eventually come. Another potent month awaits you along the tides of this climactic summer, and the powerful pressures for massive transformation grow if anything more intense.

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

This is the first month of the rest of your life, Libra. Transformation is coming, sometimes fast and sometimes more slowly, as you prepare to enter into a brave new world of your own devising. You are moving with quiet deliberation now, placing each foot ahead of the other with carefully thought out intention, and yet each step hopefully aligning in a generally forward direction. Intimacy with others around you and especially with yourself is a rapidly moving target but one well worth pursuing as you feel your way forward. You are seeing the world in an entirely different fashion these days, and that changed vision paves the road ahead of you as you slide along into more rapid movement over the course of an intense summer still to come.

As the month begins, you are focused on intimate connection with significant partners in your life, and ultimately, with yourself as well. Deep bonding with another is your meat and drink of course, but it does not come easily right now, since rather than connection with others, Saturn in your identity sector is pushing you toward greater self-reliance. Still, the indications are there for more balanced sharing, where you come from your satisfied center and not leaning out of it. It's a simple perspective shift but a profound one. You are aided in reaching out for new points of view on existing situations by the powerful thrust of the June 1st Solar Eclipse and New Moon in your sector of higher mind. This energy also strengthens your resolve to be your own center of light even as you reach out to others in your life, including family, in a new fashion. You are in an interesting position now, whereby this innovative way of connection attracts you but yet you are also held back in old patterns. Something of the past remains, always, and the trick is to acknowledge this part of yourself and integrate past painful situations and even outright mistakes, rather than shunning them, as you nevertheless move on in your life to a greater wholeness.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, June 8th, and the days immediately following, constitute a time when you will be faced with more choices and consequently greater confusion. You are in break-through mode all month long, with your head at least partly in the clouds, and it becomes difficult to navigate from the standpoint of everyday life. Then, too, you are attempting to discern which of your many forward-going attitudes and activities are truly viable and which might need rethinking in the light of negotiating the obstacles to attaining them.

The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of Wednesday, June 15th, represents one plateau achieved, a place where you can look around and reassess progress. You are changing these days, ready or not, and like it or not, and it affects you in the very core of your being. You might as well just get on with it, as much as you might feel like hiding under the covers. Even though radical change is far from easy, your prognosis is good for coming out the other side with greater wisdom and a brighter outlook on life and love.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, June 23rd, your rear-view mirror assessment of your situation could be profound. There is a spiraling evolution of your attitude toward specific partners and regarding the concept of relationship in general. The more you know about it, it seems, the more there is to know, but in any case it all circles back to where you currently stand with your own self-development. What's past is prologue.

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

You are in this world but not of it right now, Scorpio, feeling your way forward in a dreamy period of time where nothing is entirely what it seems. You are engaged in real-world activities it's true, especially those concerned with significant partnership connections in your life, but one part of your mind is elsewhere. You recognize that you are on the road to important life development and that it takes a fully integrated self to achieve it. You might be missing that boat when you feel yourself slipping into old tapes of conditioning or automatic responses corresponding to consensus thinking or to the lack of creative thought. You do better by making your own headway, in your own fashion, and you help the world to transform around you when you do.

As the month begins, you are feeling stirred to the very depths of your being by the energy of the New Moon and Solar Eclipse on the first day of the month in your sector of intimacy and personal transformation. This is a powerful moment in the midst of a powerful year. There are enormously transformational energies at work deep in your psyche that relate to an internal process of growth, whereby you are taken out of your normal patterns and associations. You are seeing the world around you in a new way, and your place within it also, as you connect with the most resistant parts of yourself and shine a new and different light upon them. Over the next few days you will find that significant relationships in your life take on enhanced meaning and that you are approaching them from a different perspective. You are entering into a mystical space where time seems to stand still and yet your life is still in motion. This vertical perspective contrasts with the horizontal world of everyday mundane events, and is more than a bit confusing to the ordinary way of looking at things. You can't steer this energy, but instead must half-close your eyes and trust that everything will come out all right in the end.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, June 8th, could represent a critical juncture when obstacles to your progress, real or imagined, could appear. You have a strong intention now to get on with it, and to change the way that you think about your mission statement. You have perhaps always known that you were put on this earth to fulfill some purpose, your own special destiny, although figuring out what exactly that purpose might be has been of course quite a tricky proposition. Now, more than ever, you are feeling the call of the distant drummer that speaks to you and to you alone, and simultaneously you are feeling the pressure of the past upon you, holding you back. It is only by forging a mystical union with Spirit inside yourself that you can move forward gracefully and by acknowledging your own particular dharma, and yet without taking yourself away from mundane concerns.

With the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon of Wednesday, June 15th, you are ready to burst through the bars of your previous conception and enter a new world. You are now more fully integrating issues of mind and heart, inner and outer, self and other. Is there a way that you can be completely present to another and also stay true to yourself? It's time to discover whether this can be the case given your current state of personal evolution or wherever you can stretch it to. This frozen moment in time is fleeting, and yet it is all the moments of your life combined into the one instance.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, June 23rd, you will be in a reflective alignment with all that has happened leading up to the present juncture. The Summer Solstice that preceded this lunar phase by two days has helped to broaden your perspective, and you are more ready than ever to absorb the lessons of this potent cycle. You truly are stretching in ways that you would never have imagined as you make way for another spiral turn around the mountain of your destiny and begin to contemplate the potentially even greater shifts implied by the configurations of the following month.

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

Welcome to the patterns that connect, Sagittarius. There are moments in your awareness when others in your universe become quite important almost in spite of yourself, and this is one of them. Relationship is a big item for you this month but the truly startling news is the way that helpful partners and the input from your surroundings filter in to enhance your own ongoing set of realizations and transformations. These in the end involve nothing less than a wholesale revisioning and revitalizing of your entire basis for self-knowledge and for finding emotional security in this world. You are moving slowly in the direction of greater reliance on Spirit inside you for providing the answers and although you can momentarily dam it up there is nothing that can ultimately stop this flow.

As the month begins, you are just beginning to recognize that this is a new era for you and that there are important priorities within it for you to deal with in a different manner than you have in the past. You are getting serious about your progress toward your goals, or its lack. There is also some confusion about where you are emotionally, and the true basis for your security, but in many ways you are entirely on track. Relationships with important others in your life point the way to a better understanding of your own internal motivation. With the New Moon and Solar Eclipse on the very first day of the month you have terrific energy for your process of self-discovery. You are including significant partners in a new way, even as you also hold onto the past, and past patterns of behavior, with all your might. You are taking your ongoing life mission quite seriously now, and striving to fulfill your obligations in the best possible manner, and at some point you might come to the conclusion that this involves letting go of prior assumptions. There's no shame in it. It's fun staying stuck and it becomes even more fun getting out of your conditioned actions and reactions that basically stem from early trauma.

With the First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, June 8th, you have reached an important juncture. This is a time of reassessment, and you might perhaps become aware of a fork in your road that you can either take or leave alone, or perhaps several. Your decision becomes easier once you detect that there is one way that leads you into further alignment with your own Higher Self. This is, all in all, a confusing time for you, when everything is not as it seems and when the call of high ideals can also feel like illusion or vice-versa. You need to employ intuition as well as informational thinking now in order to make the right choices.

With the Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon of Wednesday, June 15th, you are entering a relatively peaceful period of time, although one with still a great deal of the transpersonal influence that can be misleading at best and at worst leads to self-delusion. You are seeing your way forward more clearly now. Although the pull of the past is still holding you back it is lessened. You are sorting out issues of self and other and it is important that you strive for a balance wherein neither side of that fundamental equation is slighted, especially the requirements of your own development.

The Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, June 23rd, makes for another potentially trying time as you review the prior three weeks of this potent lunar cycle and try to make the most sense out of it that you can. As important as this is for your peace of mind as you confront the past, it is even more important for the future. There are still further and still greater changes yet to come over these climactic summer months.

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

You are both outer and inner oriented right now, Capricorn. The information comes over you in waves and can be entirely confusing, or else ignored, and then seems to recede once again into non-awareness. While you are firmly in the saddle you are out there rising so successfully and so far ahead of the pack that it might tend to get a little lonely. But inside you feel stirrings of a vastly different nature that can alert you to more radical changes still to come. This year and next represent a huge changing of the guard that ultimately serves your own best interest although it might not seem that way in the turbulence of going over the waterfall. These next few weeks of summer are the doorway into a new world.

As the month begins, you are feeling strongly the various pressures on you, both societal and internal, that push you toward outer world achievement and personal self-development. You are drawing on the abundant energy of the cosmos to assert yourself in a manner that is more fully in line with your highest purpose, visioning your way forward into greater understanding of what you came into this lifetime to accomplish. This involves a great deal of idealistic thinking and re-thinking of your position, along with profound transformation for you in your self-concept. You might feel as though your very identity was at stake, as indeed it is. This is not so dire, however, and can come to be recognized as more like the cycles of the breath, in and out, in and out, since constant change is the normal process of the flow of life within you; no way to stop it unless everything stops.

At the deepest possible level, this is what is meant by the profound possibility represented by the New Moon and Solar Eclipse taking place on the very first day of the month in your sector of discipleship to your Higher Self. You are quite busy with the normal everyday business of life in this fast-lane society, metaphorically chopping wood and drawing water, and making the wheels turn. And yet there is a sense of the more universal part of your path at this time and what that deeper meaning for your life might be able to speak to. You can investigate this part of your psyche at any time you wish by finding a quiet place and dialoguing directly with it – asking of this largely unconscious part of yourself just what it has to tell you about your life journey and its more profound ramifications.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, June 8th, provides additional clues as you attempt to discern what part of the current impulse that you carry forward from the time of the New Moon is truly viable. Your mystical inner depths convey more relevant information in this regard than the comings and going of the outer world. You are facing a basic instability at the very core of your being and although this is productive of necessary change it can also be disconcerting.

The Lunar Eclipse and Full Moon that comes along a week later, taking place on Wednesday, June 15th, provides an opportunity to rest in balance between the energies of mystical and future-oriented forward movement and those of your more conservative set of reservations. Your ruler Saturn has changed into direct motion now, and this provides some advantages toward allowing you to straighten out your path in the requisite direction. Remember to think with your heart as well as your mental apparatus and all will be truly well.

The Summer Solstice of Tuesday, June 21st, is a magical time period for you, when significant partners come more fully into the picture, hopefully as an aid to your own somewhat fractured thought process.

With the Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, June 23rd, you are looking backward as well as forward, seeing the future in the light of the past and all its successes as well as its failures. You are called once more to the very depths of your being as you make these determinations, and acknowledging the wisdom that you find within yourself might be more than half the battle.

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

This is a huge month for progress, Aquarius, but it is progress of an unusual kind. Your creativity is on fire with loads of artistic production going on and also realizations regarding how the world around you ticks. Your energy is focused more than usual on home and family and the exploration of your inner world. Past patterns of behavior could come to light as a result and be up for review and revision. This all serves to further an incipient transformation of ideals and values that has been ongoing but underground and now burgeoning to the surface of your awareness. You are fully present to the world of events and circumstances but it is your own changing internal compass to which you are ultimately attuned.

As the month begins, you are internally centered and yet reaching out to others in new ways. There are places within your self-concept – and with respect to your conception of the world around you – that you have been stuck at for far too long and that might begin to yield during this monthly cycle. You are in the midst of a powerful process of renewal and essentially of reinventing yourself yet again; reaching into the secret corners of your mind and heart for the clues to unlock your current existence and enable your progress to once again flow forward.

The energy of the New Moon and Solar Eclipse, taking place of the very first day on the month, propels you into greater joy and creativity while also enhancing your vision of what is concretely possible for you as it expands your mental horizons. The days following the eclipse, as Jupiter enters your sector of home and family, are also quite significant in terms of greater connection with your own internal process of intuition and with a renewed basis for psychological and material security. The difficulty that continues to present obstacles as well as solutions lies in the extreme polarity of these times of ours, from which you are not only not exempt but perhaps even more susceptible than most. Nothing is as easy or simple as it seemed conceptually in the offing. Everything that moves you forward toward necessary personal and professional development also has its dark undertow pulling in the opposite direction.

The First Quarter Moon of Wednesday, June 8th, emphasizes your forward progress and also the difficulties inherent within that progress. There is a sense of the unknown and of other dimensions of existence that pervades your thinking now that can be confusing or annoying, especially if you are trying to take a hard line approach to material reality. It is instead the immaterial that is being presented to you, perhaps in a somewhat dicey way, during these times of extreme polarization. Your task is to rise above the seeming contradictions toward a larger synthesis and to allow your gauge of achievement to be more open and non-predefined.

With the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of Wednesday, June 15th, you are moving closer toward that ideal. This is a time when you are making peace with formlessness and lack of concrete progress, as long as a sense of spiritual development remains accessible to you. Music and poetry are your allies now that can convey to you more precisely the expanded universe that you find yourself in, and its true aims. You are reaching for a balance point between the concretely practical and the world of wild imagination that characterizes your dreams.

The Summer Solstice takes place on the 21st, and represents another peak moment of transformational intensity and the active imagination that creates one part of a more peaceful solution.

The Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, June 23rd, is another crucial juncture for you when you are looking back as well as forward. This last week of the month stresses communication and taking care of the day-to-day business in front of you over passivity in the search for synthesis and seed wisdom to take forward into the following month.

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

This is an unusual month for you at the beginning of an unusual summer, Pisces. You are paradoxically making rapid progress and yet remaining somewhat stuck in the mud, doing well and enjoying life and yet conflicted. You are comfortable in your own skin and reaching out to others around you in new ways. You are also conscious of the places of insufficiency that you can discover at the deepest layers of your being when you take the trouble to look closely. Home and family concerns are key for you right now, and the information that you get from others helps you find your own way. You win when you accept everything and take it all extremely seriously and also lightly, trusting in the ultimate beneficence of the surrounding cosmos to take you home.

As the month begins, there are complications of home and family concerns to be dealt with, as well as finding places that you might feel stuck in some way and prevented from important self-development. You could be in for an intense ride. It can be difficult for you during this current monthly cycle, although they also say that if you have been doing your homework, so to speak, things can be relatively easy and painless after all. Saturn in your intimacy sector is strong this month. You also have been somewhat stressed lately in finding your way forward into a future that you can really inhabit with your whole heart, one that doesn't foreclose on an important segment of your possibilities.

This present month – which starts off with a powerful Solar Eclipse in your sector of home and family and the psychological roots of your being – will test your faith and your willingness to allow radical changes to enter your sphere of activity. You are feeling as well the comfort of your ruler Neptune residing for the time being in your identity sector, especially if you were born in February, and this energy also is strong for you this month since Neptune is currently stationing. The energy of this Solar Eclipse New Moon comes at you at the very beginning of the month, taking place on Wednesday afternoon, June 1st. At this time in particular and also throughout the month, you will feel the pull to important inner work that is now up for you, and as well the comfort of feeling good in your own skin and when meeting up with others. You are somewhat held back from intimacy from significant partners right now, perhaps in order that you might concentrate on working your own self-development.

The First Quarter Moon, taking place a week later, on Wednesday, June 8th, is a time when the rubber truly meets the road with the changes you are contemplating as you move through this powerful monthly cycle. This is a time when you feel the energy for instability and the rapidity of change, affecting your values and the resources at your immediate disposal, including financial resources. You are also simultaneously caught up in the drama of your evolving identity, which involves outer world considerations of all kinds, perhaps including partners as well as important friendships in your life, also the pressures of career and working existence.

The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse of Wednesday, June 15th, might represent a plateau of transformation and a chance to catch your breath for a time, although the beat for massive change continues. You are balancing issues now of self and other, public and private; and of taking the leap to be moving forward with your life versus holding back – just as you have for a year or more.

The Last Quarter Moon of Thursday, June 23rd, brings you into a reflective phase when you will be checking out the changes coming down lately and the progress made, as well as the information gleaned over the preceding three weeks of this profound lunar cycle. You are summing up what you know and even what you do not. The evidence is not all in as yet, but the basic message is to move forward.
