Until the 22, the Sun continues to transit your solar second house. This is the most "financial" period of the year for you. You might have a more materialistic view of life for the time being, or you have an increased interest in your own possessions, during this cycle. You are more attracted to objects and possessions that give you a sense of comfort, status, or luxury now. You probably should be on the lookout for a tendency to create your own financial stress due to extravagant spending habits. At this point in the year, you are unlikely to take many risks, and you can be quite resistant to change. This is a time when "comfort zones" are more important to you than usual--you value the familiar. The Sun is illuminating your communications sector from the 22, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching now, making connections, and paying attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is emphasized during this period, and is for the most part light-hearted. Give other people a little extra time and attention, notice their efforts on your behalf, and strengthen your connections. You are more curious and alert than usual, and you could be quite busy with errands, paperwork, phone calls, and light socializing. Much energy is expended in understanding and adapting to your immediate environment. Siblings, neighbors, close relatives, friends, and co-workers may play a more important role than usual in your life during this cycle. You are more interested in exploring your own neighborhood than you are a different country. This is not a time of big adventure-seeking. Rather, it's a time of little adventures close to home. Neither is this a time when you are especially focused. In fact, you could have a finger in many pies right now. You are especially resourceful now, and you could find yourself enjoying (or seeking) attention for your intellectual know-how. The ability to express and communicate your ideas is extremely important to you at this time. You are eager to investigate new things, whether scientific or technical. The need to sort out your finances becomes apparent in July, dear Gemini. Events, such as the need to fulfill financial obligations, occur now that push you in that direction. Some drama regarding shared finances with a partner, loans, or taxes is likely this month. On a personal level, your personal magnetism skyrockets from the 5th, and especially after the 12th. Others are following your lead, and this is especially true of love interests and friends, and your charm knows no bounds. Take advantage of this exciting energy! Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th at 15 degrees Capricorn. The other is a total Solar Eclipse on the 21st at 29 degrees of Cancer. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from June 30-July 7 and then July 14th-21st. The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse's status (or ex-spouse's status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters. The Solar Eclipse on the 21st marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar second house, suggesting a new approach to handling money and personal resources or new sources of income. A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors. Venus warms your solar first house from the 5. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative. From the 5-14, she is directly on your Sun, spotlighting your charm and sweetness. With Venus in the first House, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through your own self, by presenting an elegant, graceful, magnetic, happy, socially outgoing, attractive personality, with much joy for living. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of love and admiration. Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing, or writing. Mercury transits your solar second house from the 3-17. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications. Mercury transits your third house, where it feels right at home, from the 17. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives. Mars continues to transit your privacy sector until the 12, indicating that your energy levels can fluctuate day-to-day, and much depends on your emotional state of mind. Frequent periods of quiet and solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. On occasion, you may be indecisive, changeable, evasive, and possibly even devious or inclined towards self-deception during this cycle. Mars energizes your first house from the 12. You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit. You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way--however big or small--and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper. Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don't bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.
Highlights: July 3-4 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive. July 7 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Capricorn in your solar eighth house. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people's needs and comfort levels. It's a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise. July 11-12 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side. July 18-19 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change. July 20-21 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible. July 21 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer in your solar second house affects you for the next 3-6 months. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors. July 26-27 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression. July 31-August 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role.

June |
Overview.
Until the 21, the Sun illuminates your first house, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great period for doing something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. You are in the position to make an impression on others. You have presence and you project confidence.
The Sun highlights your second house from the 21, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
All eyes are on you in June, dear Gemini, and your ability to persuade, enchant, and delight others returns with gusto after a few weeks of possible misunderstandings in May. Nevertheless, energy and vitality might sometimes be lacking, as you require more rest and time for reflection. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes, and you might find yourself re-evaluating important parts of your life. Partnerships require sensitivity around the Full Moon on the 7th. Preparing a budget and solid plans for handling your finances more effectively is in order on the 22-24.From the 6, Venus transits your solar twelfth house. Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury continues to work its way through your twelfth house until the 14, this time in direct motion so that its energy is more straightforward. Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid being dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt.
Mercury transits your solar first house from the 14. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easy. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, lighthearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars energizes and activates your solar twelfth house all month.
This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time when
past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad thing! It
could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into private matters,
or when you prefer that others not observe what you are doing. This is
natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for now. Unconscious
behavior patterns could influence the way you assert yourself. Some may
experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they are not allowing
themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting their intuition
serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life (this includes
day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination can serve them very
well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.
Highlights:
June 1-2 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 6-7 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
June 7 A Full Moon occurs today in Sagittarius in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it's time to strike a balance with an "other". The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship--a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It's time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It's time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
June 14-15 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
June 20-21 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward.

June 22 New Moon in Cancer in your solar second house affects you now and until the next New Moon on July 21. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time.

Overview.
Until the 20, the Sun continues to "hibernate" in your solar twelfth house. This is a time when you recharge your batteries, rest up, reflect, and perhaps close matters that have run their natural course. During this cycle, a sense of personal fulfillment is reinforced by resolving subconscious influences or matters from the past. You will instinctively withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life in an attempt to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs better. This is an imaginative, perhaps dreamy, time of the year. Some may indulge in self-pity at this time, but as long as they pull strength from it, it might simply be a healthy process. You need time alone now in order to sort things out and to avoid overload!
The Sun illuminates your first house from the 20, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it's time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
You have a lot of energy to pour into friendships, group projects, or goals this month, dear Gemini. Personal charisma and creativity in group settings is powerful all month. Singles might very well meet their match through friends and group associations. Attached Geminis will find much joy and understanding with their partner. A business partnership is a strong possibility, and travel through business especially rewarding. Some misunderstandings are likely if you don’t take the time to communicate with forethought and deliberation this month. Past proclamations need to be set right carefully.Mercury is retrograde from May 7-30. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your personal presentation or image to others and communications with family because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Because Mercury is your sign's ruler, all of the Mercury Retrograde issues outlined above apply. Put off making important decisions with regards to family and domestic matters (Virgo-ruled for you) just now, and take care when it comes to communicating with family members. Occurring in your solar twelfth and first houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to body language and intuition. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with close partners and family members; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your ninth house three times this year--May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. With the ruler of your seventh house and the ruler of your tenth house aligned, many of you will be forming business partnerships, meeting a long-term romantic partner through your career, or focusing on career goals with a partner. Some of you will be involved in counseling, particularly on a one-to-one basis, in your career. Travel or higher education may be connected with a partnership--whether you meet a partner through these mediums, or pursue these goals with a partner. As well, many of you will be travelling on business. Others will be pursuing higher education that combines traditional learning and practical application. Intuition increasingly becomes part of your belief system. You are more inclined to believe in the "unseen" this year. Your increased faith is derived from this more spiritual belief system.
Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house all month, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mars continues his journey through your solar eleventh house all month, and you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into friendships, social life, and group activities. Friendship is of above-average importance during this cycle, but this is a sphere of life where you may experience some rocky periods since the aggressive, argumentative side of Mars, if left untamed, could cause upsets between yourself and your friends. This will be especially so when others challenge your reasons or motives for certain actions. Leadership qualities are present now. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Highlights:
May 5-6 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
May 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until May 30th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.
May 8 A Full Moon occurs today in Scorpio in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.
May 10-11 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
May 17-18 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
May 24 New Moon in Gemini in your solar first house affects you now and until the next New Moon on June 22. This New Moon placement is a powerful oneit's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
May 24-25 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
May 26-27 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
May 29-31 Mercury stations and turns direct on May 30th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

July |
Overview.
The Sun highlights your second house this month, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
The need to sort out your finances becomes apparent in July, dear Gemini. Events, such as the need to fulfill financial obligations, occur now that push you in that direction. Some drama regarding shared finances with a partner, loans, or taxes is likely this month. On a personal level, your personal magnetism skyrockets from the 5th, and especially after the 12th. Others are following your lead, and this is especially true of love interests and friends, and your charm knows no bounds. Take advantage of this exciting energy!
Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th at 15 degrees Capricorn. The other is a total Solar Eclipse on the 21st at 29 degrees of Cancer. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from June 30-July 7 and then July 14th-21st.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse's status (or ex-spouse's status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters.
The Solar Eclipse on the 21st marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar second house, suggesting a new approach to handling money and personal resources or new sources of income. A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
Until the 14, Venus continues to move through your privacy sector. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may willingly play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. What you don't know might just be helping you right now, because what's happening behind your back is moving in your favor and all will come out happily when your dreams become a reality soon enough.
Venus warms your solar first house from the 14. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative. From the 5-14, she is directly on your Sun, spotlighting your charm and sweetness. With Venus in the first House, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through your own self, by presenting an elegant, graceful, magnetic, happy, socially outgoing, attractive personality, with much joy for living. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of love and admiration. Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing, or writing.
Mercury transits your solar second house from the 8-28. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mars continues to transit your privacy sector until the 26, indicating that your energy levels can fluctuate day-to-day, and much depends on your emotional state of mind. Frequent periods of quiet and solitude are necessary in order to recharge your energies. On occasion, you may be indecisive, changeable, evasive, and possibly even devious or inclined towards self-deception during this cycle.
Mars energizes your first house from the 26. You are able to stand your ground and assert yourself more than usual during this transit. You have energy at your disposal to move your plans forward, and you are more enterprising. You want to leave your mark on the world in some way--however big or small--and you are more able to make an impression than usual. If circumstances are such, you are able to easily fight back. In fact, you may be somewhat combative under this influence, and you may have a short temper. Avoid being pushy. Take charge of your life, but don't bulldoze over others in the process! This is an excellent transit for assertiveness and physical vitality. Love affairs may also be stepped up during this period. On the rare occasion when an accident occurs, it is more likely to involve the head or face.
Highlights:
July 4-5 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 7 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Capricorn in your solar eighth house. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people's needs and comfort levels. It's a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.
July 12-13 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
July 19-20 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
July 21 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer in your solar second house affects you for the next 3-6 months. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
July 21-22 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
July 27-28 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
July 31-August 1 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.

June |
Overview.
The Sun illuminates your first house this month, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it's time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
All eyes are on you in June, dear Gemini, and your ability to persuade, enchant, and delight others returns with gusto after a few weeks of possible misunderstandings in May. Nevertheless, energy and vitality might sometimes be lacking, as you require more rest and time for reflection. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes, and you might find yourself re-evaluating important parts of your life. Partnerships require sensitivity around the Full Moon on the 7th. Preparing a budget and solid plans for handling your finances more effectively is in order on the 22-24.Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house until the 16, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
From the 16, Venus transits your solar twelfth house. Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury continues to work its way through your twelfth house until the 22, this time in direct motion so that its energy is more straightforward. Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid being dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt.
Mercury transits your solar first house from the 22. This is a period in which you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easy. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now. It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity. This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures. Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, lighthearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mars continues his journey through your solar eleventh until the 14, and you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into friendships, social life, and group activities. Friendship is of above-average importance during this cycle, but this is a sphere of life where you may experience some rocky periods since the aggressive, argumentative side of Mars, if left untamed, could cause upsets between yourself and your friends. This will be especially so when others challenge your reasons or motives for certain actions. Leadership qualities are present now. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Mars energizes and activates your solar twelfth house from the 14.
This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time
when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad
thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into
private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are
doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for
now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert
yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they
are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting
their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life
(this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination
can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.
Highlights:
June 2-3 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 7 A Full Moon occurs today in Sagittarius in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it's time to strike a balance with an "other". The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship--a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It's time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It's time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
June 7-8 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
June 14-15 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
June 21-22 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
June 22 New Moon in Cancer in your solar first house affects you now and until the next New Moon on July 21. This New Moon placement is a powerful oneit's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
June 23-24 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
June 29-30 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

May |
Overview.
This month, the Sun travels through your twelfth house, marking a time of
retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things,
people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is
a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It's
not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of
reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have
naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you.
Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year.
Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your
disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more
outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Mercury is retrograde from May 7-30. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your personal presentation or image to others and communications with family because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Because Mercury is your sign's ruler, all of the Mercury Retrograde issues outlined above apply. Put off making important decisions with regards to family and domestic matters (Virgo-ruled for you) just now, and take care when it comes to communicating with family members. Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to your own intuition. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your ninth house three times this year--May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. With the ruler of your seventh house and the ruler of your tenth house aligned, many of you will be forming business partnerships, meeting a long-term romantic partner through your career, or focusing on career goals with a partner. Some of you will be involved in counseling, particularly on a one-to-one basis, in your career. Travel or higher education may be connected with a partnership--whether you meet a partner through these mediums, or pursue these goals with a partner. As well, many of you will be travelling on business. Others will be pursuing higher education that combines traditional learning and practical application. Intuition increasingly becomes part of your belief system. You are more inclined to believe in the "unseen" this year. Your increased faith is derived from this more spiritual belief system.
Venus continues to move through your solar tenth house until the 14. You are more socially ambitious than usual during this cycle. Attention is drawn to your professional manner or your personal relationships become more public. More opportunities to socialize and network could present themselves now, or circumstances are such that you need to draw upon your diplomacy skills in order to advance.
Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house from the 14, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mars energizes your solar eleventh house from the 5. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Highlights:
May 6-7 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
May 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until May 30th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.
May 8 A Full Moon occurs today in Scorpio in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.
May 11-12 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
May 18-19 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
May 24 New Moon in Gemini in your solar twelfth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on June 22. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one's spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries". Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first housea period that is more active and busy than this one.
May 25-26 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
May 27-28 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
May 29-31 Mercury stations and turns direct on May 30th. Holding off on important discussions, interviews, or contracts is probably wise right now, as thinking is foggy and misunderstandings are likely. As Mercury moves forward and regains speed over the next couple of weeks, we can more easily get new projects off the ground.

July |
Overview.
Until the 12th, the Sun illuminates your first house, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great period for doing something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. You are in the position to make an impression on others. You have presence and you project confidence.
The Sun highlights your second house from the 12, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you right now, and you might find that you are especially interested in accumulating possessions. What you have and what you don't have come into focus--what makes you feel comfortable, your sense of security, and what you value. This is the time of year when personal finances and possessions receive maximum attention. Pour your energy into your work and your finances, and you might just be able to take your ideas to the bank. Extravagance with your pocketbook is something you may want to look out for, however. If you find yourself itching to make unnecessary purchases, know that at the root of this urge is the desire to pamper and comfort yourself. Nothing wrong with it, but there are inexpensive (and even free) ways to make yourself feel good. This is not the most eventful time of year for you. You are more inclined to dig your heels in and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.
The need to sort out your finances becomes apparent in July, dear Gemini. Events, such as the need to fulfill financial obligations, occur now that push you in that direction. Some drama regarding shared finances with a partner, loans, or taxes is likely this month. On a personal level, your personal magnetism skyrockets from the 5th, and especially after the 12th. Others are following your lead, and this is especially true of love interests and friends, and your charm knows no bounds. Take advantage of this exciting energy!
Two eclipses occur this month. One is a Lunar Eclipse on the 7th at 15 degrees Capricorn. The other is a total Solar Eclipse on the 21st at 29 degrees of Cancer. The effects of eclipses stay with us for as long as six months, and they reveal main areas of focus for this half-year period. A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. Therefore, major decision-making is best avoided from June 30-July 7 and then July 14th-21st.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 7th stimulates your solar eighth house. Surprises surrounding intimate matters, shared finances and resources, or financial support may be in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. This could manifest as, for example, the need to make a financial settlement or large payment, the paying off of a loan, the loss of financial support, a change in your spouse's status (or ex-spouse's status if child support or alimony is given), a circumstance that calls for you to support someone, and other such possibilities. Do your best to avoid letting emotions overrule good judgment when it comes to spending or financial matters.
The Solar Eclipse on the 21st marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar second house, suggesting a new approach to handling money and personal resources or new sources of income. A focus on ways to increase your income or a new budgeting/saving plan may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to the way you handle making yourself feel comfortable and secure. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of the physical world of the senses, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
Until the 23, Venus continues to move through your privacy sector. Matters of the heart touch you deeply. You may willingly play a supportive role to a partner, offering him or her more compassion and selfless love. If a romance were to begin during this period, it would likely be a private or even secret one. What you don't know might just be helping you right now, because what's happening behind your back is moving in your favor and all will come out happily when your dreams become a reality soon enough.
Venus warms your solar first house from the 23. You could find it hard to deny yourself anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you agreeable and cooperative. From the 5-14, she is directly on your Sun, spotlighting your charm and sweetness. With Venus in the first House, the areas of life where you are most likely to express your social, romantic, and artistic qualities are through your own self, by presenting an elegant, graceful, magnetic, happy, socially outgoing, attractive personality, with much joy for living. You are more bold in your love nature, yet not aggressive either. You make friends easily during this cycle, and you are especially fond of love and admiration. Artistic self-expression is important, possibly through music, clothing, or writing.
Mercury continues to work its way through your first house until the 13. This is a cycle in which you tend to talk more readily, particularly about your own personal likes and dislikes or your personal past. Your demeanor is light-hearted and curious, and others might turn to you for advice, as you appear to be more rational than usual. This is the time of year when you can most easily use the power of words to attract what you want for yourself.
Mercury transits your solar second house from the 13-28. This is a strong period for analyzing your cash flow, income, and earning power. You are more practical and rational in your approach to finances now. With your conscious mind focused on money and possessions, as well as personal values, this can be a strong period for gathering new money-making ideas. Alternatively, it could be a time when you tend to fret over your finances. Conversations tend to be practical rather than frivolous now. Financial gain may come through communications.
Mars continues to transit your privacy sector this month, indicating that
your energy levels can fluctuate day-to-day, and much depends on your
emotional state of mind. Frequent periods of quiet and solitude are
necessary in order to recharge your energies. On occasion, you may be
indecisive, changeable, evasive, and possibly even devious or inclined
towards self-deception during this cycle.
Highlights:
June 30-July 1 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
July 5-6 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
July 7 A Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs today in Capricorn in your solar eighth house. This Full Moon is all about give and take. What makes you feel comfortable and secure needs to be balanced with attention to other people's needs and comfort levels. It's a good time to settle some of your debts, financial or otherwise. You may be in a position wherein you are forced to make a financial settlement or large outlay of cash; or, you may find that you are leaned upon for support, financial or otherwise.
July 13-14 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
July 19-20 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
July 21 New Moon Solar Eclipse in Cancer in your solar second house affects you for the next 3-6 months. Heightened sensitivity to the world of the five senses, to your physical environment, and to the security you gain from the solid ground you have built for yourself is in order for this period of time. Attunement to, and appreciation of, the physical world of the senses is the focus, and this is a time to start fresh in terms of how you arrange your life in order to feel a sense of value and worthiness. Financial issues come into focus. Setting realistic financial goals, as well as formulating such things as budgets and other sensible financial planning projects, will be favored during this time. Discovering ways to increase your income is featured. It is also a wonderful time for taking moments to pleasure yourself through earthy, tactile, and comforting endeavors.
July 21-22 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
July 27-28 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.

June |
Overview.
Until the 10, the Sun continues to "hibernate" in your solar twelfth house. This is a time when you recharge your batteries, rest up, reflect, and perhaps close matters that have run their natural course. During this cycle, a sense of personal fulfillment is reinforced by resolving subconscious influences or matters from the past. You will instinctively withdraw from the hustle and bustle of daily life in an attempt to get to know yourself, your goals, and your needs better. This is an imaginative, perhaps dreamy, time of the year. Some may indulge in self-pity at this time, but as long as they pull strength from it, it might simply be a healthy process. You need time alone now in order to sort things out and to avoid overload!
The Sun illuminates your first house from the 10, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the height of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence beyond its normal boundaries. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage. It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature pushes up and out, and it's time to seize opportunities. Problems in your life may be overcome by bravery, self-assertion, and directness. There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for team work and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
All eyes are on you in June, dear Gemini, and your ability to persuade, enchant, and delight others returns with gusto after a few weeks of possible misunderstandings in May. Nevertheless, energy and vitality might sometimes be lacking, as you require more rest and time for reflection. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes, and you might find yourself re-evaluating important parts of your life. Partnerships require sensitivity around the Full Moon on the 7th. Preparing a budget and solid plans for handling your finances more effectively is in order on the 22-24.Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house until the 25, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
From the 25, Venus transits your solar twelfth house. Venus is spending some time in "hibernation" in your privacy sector. Now, this doesn't necessarily mean that your love life is stagnant, but that your affection is expressed behind closed doors. Attraction to secrets and whispers characterize this period, although for some, it can also be a time of endings, relationship concerns, and wistfulness. Personal and social contacts may be secretive, and there can be secret love affairs, or at least very private love feelings and longings. Shyness can lead to some loneliness or romantic frustration. However, this can also be a deliciously private and intimate time.
Mercury continues to work its way through your twelfth house until the 28, this time in direct motion so that its energy is more straightforward. Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid being dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt.
Mars continues his journey through your solar eleventh until the 28, and you are likely to exert your energy and initiative into friendships, social life, and group activities. Friendship is of above-average importance during this cycle, but this is a sphere of life where you may experience some rocky periods since the aggressive, argumentative side of Mars, if left untamed, could cause upsets between yourself and your friends. This will be especially so when others challenge your reasons or motives for certain actions. Leadership qualities are present now. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Mars energizes and activates your solar twelfth house from the 28.
This is the time to research and reflect upon your goals. It can be a time
when past actions catch up with you--and this is not necessarily a bad
thing! It could also be a time when much of your energy is channeled into
private matters, or when you prefer that others not observe what you are
doing. This is natural--you may just as well do your best work alone for
now. Unconscious behavior patterns could influence the way you assert
yourself. Some may experience insomnia during this phase, especially if they
are not allowing themselves the chance to recoup and if they are not letting
their intuition serve them. Others may enjoy a more active dreaming life
(this includes day-dreaming), and, if allowed to run free, the imagination
can serve them very well, especially with regards to goals and new concepts.
Highlights:
June 3-4 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
June 7 A Full Moon occurs today in Sagittarius in your solar seventh house. The New Moon was all about you. Now it's time to strike a balance with an "other". The seventh house represents an important one-to-one relationship--a marriage partner, significant other, business partner, or an adversary. It's time to strike a balance between your own needs and those of another. It's time to compromise and negotiate. Partnership "tests" are possible now, but so is a chance to truly connect to a special someone in your life.
June 8-9 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
June 15-16 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
June 22 New Moon in Cancer in your solar first house affects you now and until the next New Moon on July 21. This New Moon placement is a powerful oneit's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
June 22-23 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value.

May |
Overview.
The Sun continues to illuminate your solar eleventh house until the 10--a more sociable time of the year for you. This is a rather happy, goal-oriented cycle. A lively agenda is promised, you're attracting quite a bit of interest, and your energy for making contact with others is strong. A stronger sense of community is with you during this cycle. Making friendly contact with others, in general, is probable. Relationships take on a fun, if impersonal, tone now. Activities with children increase. You are more stimulated by all that is unconventional during this cycle, and your ideas are original and progressive now. Towards the 10th, you begin to require a bit of down time, and that's natural after a busy month.
From the 10, the Sun travels through your twelfth house, marking a time
of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to
things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down.
This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a
break. It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's
a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations
that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put
behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this
time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs
now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a
more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Mercury is retrograde from May 7-30. All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your personal presentation or image to others and communications with family because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Because Mercury is your sign's ruler, all of the Mercury Retrograde issues outlined above apply. Put off making important decisions with regards to family and domestic matters (Virgo-ruled for you) just now, and take care when it comes to communicating with family members. Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to your own intuition. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Jupiter conjuncts Neptune in your ninth house three times this year--May 27, July 10, and December 21. A spirit of altruism and generosity, making connections with others from a different background, widening your mind through unusual or different experiences, expanded faith, and a feeling that anything is possible if you set your sights high enough are all themes. With the ruler of your seventh house and the ruler of your tenth house aligned, many of you will be forming business partnerships, meeting a long-term romantic partner through your career, or focusing on career goals with a partner. Some of you will be involved in counseling, particularly on a one-to-one basis, in your career. Travel or higher education may be connected with a partnership--whether you meet a partner through these mediums, or pursue these goals with a partner. As well, many of you will be travelling on business. Others will be pursuing higher education that combines traditional learning and practical application. Intuition increasingly becomes part of your belief system. You are more inclined to believe in the "unseen" this year. Your increased faith is derived from this more spiritual belief system.
Venus continues to move through your solar tenth house until the 26. You are more socially ambitious than usual during this cycle. Attention is drawn to your professional manner or your personal relationships become more public. More opportunities to socialize and network could present themselves now, or circumstances are such that you need to draw upon your diplomacy skills in order to advance.
Venus journeys through your solar eleventh house from the 26, where she enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are likely to enjoy a strong feeling of happiness and solidarity in friendship, or with groups of like-minded individuals. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to occur during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Mars continues to activate and energize your tenth house until the 10, bringing dynamic energy to all career, professional, and public matters. You could find that your talents or services are especially in demand now. Courage, ambition, energy, enterprise, force, emotional involvement, business acumen, and a strong perhaps even compulsive drive for success can lead to professional recognition. You always like to see practical results for your efforts and take pride in doing a job correctly, and this is a good cycle in which to show your leadership skills. Don't, however, let your enterprising nature get interpreted as aggressiveness or insensitivity.
Mars energizes your solar eleventh house from the 18. Group activities and cooperative efforts are the best way to achieve your goals right now. In fact, you have all sorts of ideas about what you want to do. Avoid allowing the ego to attempt to dominate others. You prefer to lead a group rather than follow during this period, and there are certainly ways to do so without stepping on others' toes. As well, the best way to achieve your goals during this period is to work as a team, or to at least to do some networking. You may have more energy than usual to want to organize projects. Your humanitarian impulse may be stimulated. The role you play for other people in your life becomes the focus. You may feel that your schedule gets overloaded at this time with things to do (usually for others).
Highlights:
April 30-May 1 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
May 6-8 Mercury is stationary retrograde now, and will remain retrograde until May 30th--a cycle during which rethinking matters is the name of the game. When Mercury is stationary, as it is now, it's especially important to prepare for possible breakdowns in communication. Back up your computer, double-check your paperwork, and remember that you may not have all the necessary information to make big decisions for the time being. Avoid signing contracts or deals, as they may not work out as you expected, or they might need revision later.
May 7-8 Romance and pleasure are highlights right now with the Moon in your solar fifth. The Moon is in your element, and so are you! The flowing, expressive, and spontaneous energy surrounding you attracts like-minded (and hearted) people. Be sure to take time to enjoy yourself, preferably around others! Keywords: romance, creativity, spontaneity, pleasure, self-expression.
May 8 A Full Moon occurs today in Scorpio in your solar sixth house. Avoid blaming others for your own state of discontent. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind. This may also be a time when a work project comes to fruition or completion.
May 11-12 Your partnerships are highlighted right now, and it's time to compromise. Insecurities in your partnerships are brought to light now, and the best way to handle this is to understand that you need others instead of competing for the floor. Some people find this time of the lunar month an energy sapper, as they feel ignored or unnoticed. Trying to go it alone won't work just now. The spotlight is on other people for the time being, and it's best to let them shine. Concentrate on truly listening to those close to you, and on playing a supportive role. Perhaps not a time to be make a presentation or to come on strong to the world. You are feeling reflective rather than expressive.
May 19-20 Monthly career and reputation peak. Your credibility is important at this time of the lunar month, and efforts at self-promotion might be made now. This is the time when you're noticed for what you've done or haven't done. Do your best to be in top form, make career adjustments if needed, and don't be afraid to show others exactly what you're made of. You're at your best when you are showing the world your practical, competent, and responsible side.
May 24 New Moon in Gemini in your solar twelfth house affects you now and until the next New Moon on June 22. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging one's spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries". Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. This is a more sensitive position of the New Moon, and it is best to find some sort of peace for the soul in preparation for the New Moon in the first housea period that is more active and busy than this one.
May 25-26 Your Personal New Moon. A new personal cycle begins for you, and you feel fresh and re-energized. It's all about you now, so it's time to put your best foot forward. A blast of personal energy comes your way, and showing your leadership skills works for you now. You are at your most convincing, as others are accepting you at face value. Some people find that the Moon in their sign brings with it a restless, discontented, and emotional state, and that there is more on their plate than they expected or wanted. If this is the case for you, remember that these feelings are there because you need to make a change, however big or small. Use it to stimulate activity and positive change.
May 27-28 Monthly money and income peak. You're looking at the world in terms of value and worth now, and what you have (or don't have) is on your mind. Money issues pop up now—the discovery of a way to increase your income, an unexpected gift or reward, or a brief and tiny financial crisis that motivates you to find new ways to make money are possible.
May 29-31 Mercury stations and turns direct on May 30th.
