The following are alternate horoscopes written by a different author for all signs for the month ahead:
Monthly Horoscopes June 2019
Aries (March 21st - April 19th)
Communication is the key word for you this month. The Sun is in the chatty Sign Gemini and in the 3rd House of communication in your Solar Chart. Messages, announcements, consultations and all forms of connection are likely to keep you busy. This is the ideal month to start a short training course, set-up or boost your social media accounts or clear out your email back-log. You may also consider a short journey as a change of scenery. Keep communications positive. Matters on the home front may be a little fiery during June so forthright Rams need to garner as much diplomacy as possible.
Taurus (April 20th - May 20th)
June is a wake call for security-loving Taureans. It is time to move out of your comfort zone. Someone or something is shaking things up. If you have become stuck in the mud, which is a cow-like tendency then you need to pick up your hooves and get a move on. If you are feeling restless then ask yourself why? Do you need to adopt an attitude of gratitude? Are your priorities set right? It is time to breakthrough with a self-realisation? The planet of surprises is making itself heard in your Zodiac Sign. The trick is to tune out the white noise and listen to what is really important.
Gemini (May 21st - June 20th)
Your own health and happiness is the focus for June with both the Sun and Mercury in your 1st Solar House. You are at your charming best and so are well able to promote your self-interests. You may also be keen to do some personal development. Self-development requires that you occasionally hit the “pause” button. You need to take some time to reflect on how you’re living your life – the choices you are making, the way you are feeling and the way you are behaving. However, as a typical Gemini the “pause” button won’t be on for long as you celebrate in your own inimitable style.
Cancer (June 21st - July 22nd)
June is a month of contradictions with many social engagements but also a real urge for some alone time. The trick is to have a balance. You may also decide that your social life can be based at home with close friends and family. That way you can indulge in both quite easily. This is also a good month to ponder on your community commitments. If you belong to a group or club then changes may be sparked either by your own needs or through the actions of others. The feisty planet Mars is in your Zodiac Sign indicating the need to resolve any simmering conflict.
Leo (July 23rd - August 22nd)
Your daily life changes as your social commitments increase in June. Your diary fills up with fun outings connected to groups, clubs and friends. It is time to review your own hopes, dreams and wishes and make sure that your circle of friends support these. You need common ground. On a lighter note, most Leos love a get-together and you may enjoy planning a small or big party, or taking part in someone else’s celebration or commemoration. This is a positive month during which your popularity grows, as do your opportunities to mingle and network.
Virgo (August 23rd - September 22nd)
It is time to shine in your professional arena. If you have built a good reputation then you may reap what you have sown by way of promotion or awards. Unassuming Virgos usually avoid leadership roles unless they have other planetary influences. However, this month sees these opportunities arise. The choice is yours. On the other hand, you could decide to increase your professional knowledge and training, improve low-functioning work processes or relationships, or perhaps experience something new. At the very least you could set some new career goals. Your key relationship takes backstage as your focus on your career, or your role as a public officer or parent/grand-parent.
Libra (September 23rd - October 22nd)
Your ruling planet Libra is sitting happily in the 8th House of your Solar Chart indicating a fortunate gift or inheritance this month. The planet of love may also be heralding the start of a new intimate relationship, or a sexual surge in a current one. It is also possible that you have a favourable outcome from a legal process. Cultural events, overseas travel plans, academic and spiritual study and sporting events are also highlighted during June. It is time to broaden your horizons, share your resources and experience adventure – whatever than means for you. “Adventures do occur, but not punctually.” ― E.M. Forster, A Passage to India
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)
Do you feel like you are in a holding pattern, a bit like an aeroplane going around and round waiting to land? If so this your month for a breakthrough, particularly in the area of personal relationships or business partnerships. It is time to land! The month of June provides “aha” moments, insights about how you can change where you spend your time and money. Someone close to you, perhaps a Taurus, is likely to spark these insights. The trick is to notice when you feel excited and follow your instincts within reason. It is time to broaden your horizons.
Sagittarius (November 22nd - December 21st)
As the lucky planet Jupiter continues to wend its way through your Zodiac Sign growth continues to be the key theme in your life. Opportunities abound for you to embrace self-expansion through work projects, relationships and hobbies. The trick is to know yourself. What sparks your passion? Your growth cycle is most likely to be sparked by a primary personal connection. You seek better rapport with others. So, this month key relationships could be the focus with a surprise within a current union, or the excitement of a new relationship. At the very least a Gemini may be a catalyst for some self-realisation.
Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)
Sometimes things move so slowly it can feel like you are going backwards. This is how you are likely to feel with two key planets Retrograde in your Zodiac Sign. This is likely to be an illusion. You are, in fact, moving forward and are about to reach the summit of your ambitions. However, you have one last bit of the climb to achieve before you complete your journey. This could be associated with your work, health or a project that affects your everyday life. If life seems a little mundane right now take a moment to rest, revive and re-create. As business magnate Andrew Carnegie once said: “Anything in life worth having is worth working for.”
Aquarius (January 20th - February 18th)
This month sees the birth of something or someone new in your life, however; the process may take you by surprise. It is the ideal month for a new creative project, one that excites you and gives you an outlet for any pent-up emotions. You have to strive harder than usual for peace and so you may be better to embrace any surprises, particularly those sparked by younger members of your family or social circle. Try thinking outside the square or perhaps embrace the sparkly energy by planning a fancy-dress party or a fund-raiser for a cause close to your heart.
Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)
It is time to find the right balance between your professional and private life. Family-oriented Pisceans need to focus a little more time on home life. Perhaps one or more family members need your attention now. Single Pisceans may need a little more private time. Either way decisions may need to be made connected to your living arrangements. This is an ideal month during which to re-arrange furniture, re-decorate, renovate or perhaps even move to a new premise. Some surprising news may help your house-hold arrangements. The trick is to take any revelations in your stride. Go with the flow.
Monthly Horoscopes May 2019
Aries (March 21st - April 19th)
News connected to personal money matters surprises you this month. This could be in the form of a positive boost to your income, or perhaps an unexpected bill arrives in the post. Either way the trick is to go with the flow, adapt your plans and make a decision about the best way forward. It is also possible that a sibling catches you off-guard with an announcement. Once again your thoughts may be better kept private, while you wait for a more conducive time to speak them. Your words carry more weight that you realise right now.
Taurus (April 20th - May 20th)
Something or someone is running amok in your love life right now. Secrets are simmering. On a positive note perhaps, you are planning a surprise for a loved one, something to spice up your love life. On the other hand, dirty little secrets could be your undoing. Make sure that you enjoy romantic liaisons that can only have a positive outcome. This is your time to advance your own personal happiness and health through love, pleasure and sensuality. If all else fails perhaps you can book a spa retreat?
Gemini (May 21st - June 20th)
Your ruling planet Mercury is now heading in the right direction and while you may still be pondering your options, it is time to start networking. May sees you reach out to friends, support groups, clubs and through the social media to pursue a project close to your heart. It is time to pursue your hopes, dreams and wishes. As a result, your social calendar is likely to be full. Now is a good time to ensure that you keep tabs on your calendar – diary or wall calendar or your computer or online calendar. Juggling appointments is not your strong point so perhaps it is time for a personal assistant?
Cancer (June 21st - July 22nd)
Most people have a private and a professional persona. As a Cancerian you are likely to be strong in your private life. Now it is time to think about your professional life, how you are perceived by the public. Your main role could be as a parent or caregiver, or you may have a chosen profession (or perhaps both). What do you need to do to achieve your professional goals? The planets are aligned in a way that encourages you to seek the advice of friends, join groups or perhaps expand your social media presence.
Leo (July 23rd - August 22nd)
You are in for a few surprises or changes in your public life i.e. your role as a worker, spouse, or caregiver. Something or someone may disrupt your usual routine. The trick is to remain positive, something that you naturally do, and flexible. Try to see the big picture rather than sweat the small stuff. If the choice is between having fun and sweeping the floors then choose to play. Meditation, prayer, sport and cultural activities are also highlighted in May as ways of escaping the more humdrum duties. Your popularity stands you in good stead as always.
Virgo (August 23rd - September 22nd)
As a frugal Virgo you know the benefits of saving small change in order to invest in bigger things. You are adept at saving for a rainy day. This month sees you ponder how best to invest your time, energy and income. You may change the way that you currently do these things, or you could adopt a completely new habit. Taxes and inheritances could also be on your mind. If you have joint resources then now is a good time to reassess their value. “What is wealth?” could be a question on your mind right now.
Libra (September 23rd - October 22nd)
You are more aware than most that opposites can attract. Right now, you are likely to be more sensitive to this adage than usual, either through your own or someone else’s love life. Your ruling planet Venus is in the opposing Sign of Aries highlighting your need to focus on your own personal needs when it comes to dating, mating and relating. Whether you are single or in a relationship, you may benefit from taking yourself on a date. Try to connect with some of the Aries traits of self-sufficiency, self-reliance and even become a little more selfish.
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)
“Let’s talk about sex baby, let’s talk about you and me.” These lyrics could be your theme for May with planets affecting your Solar Chart relationship and intimacy sectors. This month is all about what you share with your one and only, if you have a one and only. If not then it is about contracts and investments. Surprises, good and not so good, are on the horizon through your closest contacts. Are you ready? You may need to fight for your rights. Scorpios are excellent strategists and so you can handle what comes your way.
Sagittarius (November 22nd - December 21st)
Your ruling planet Jupiter is in Retrograde motion until August. This means that it is going backwards heralding a time of reassessment of your usual optimistic goals. Situations arise that require you to reconsider what supports your own health and happiness. You may need to make some changes to your own lifestyle. Daily routines need to support your goals. So, the first question is: “What are my goals”? “Next you need to ask: “What and who supports these goals?” and Finally: “What changes do I need to make”?
Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)
This month provides you with an opportunity to rekindle your passion for a person or project. Your creative juices are flowing and you are ready to channel them into something close to your heart. Of course, as an ambitious goat your head will remain well and truly in control. However, it is time to make sure that your head and heart are in sync. You may notice that more children enter your life now as a signal that you need to live in the present moment rather than planning for a secure future. You may also receive invitations to artistic events, which also provide inspiration.
Aquarius (January 20th - February 18th)
May see you more strategic than usual. You may retreat at times to consider your options in a particular project. Something or someone may take you by surprise at home. This could cost you more of your income than you had planned. Your private life is more prominent than your professional one right now. The trick is to make sure that you are flexible but not to go overboard when it comes to outlaying money. You may be a soft touch right now so be wary of those who could take advantage, particularly if they are close to home.
Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)
Your professional life receives a boost this month either through recognition from the boss, or a promotion or accolade within your chosen field. You may also receive news that comes out of the blue and challenges you to see things in a new light. If you are thinking of taking a short course that promotes your skills then May is a good time to do so. It is time to think outside of the square and embrace new ideas. The trick is to remain flexible, avoid being stubborn and to detach from emotional issues if possible.
Monthly Horoscopes April 2019
Aries (March 21st - April 19th)
April is your month to shine with a focus on your own health and well-being. As a self-oriented Aries you may be delighted to know that you can embrace all things self-oriented. The Sun is shining in your Zodiac Sign at the start of the month beckoning you to celebrate all things Aries – leadership, initiation, action, and pioneering spirit. As the Nike slogan said: “Just Do It”. You may be drawn to speak up on behalf of others, or to spruik your own projects or wares. You need only keep the communication lines open so that others are on board.
Taurus (April 20th - May 20th)
Think back to last May 2018. What was happening then? Once again, the planet of surprises, Uranus, has entered your Zodiac Sign sparking unexpected events for security loving Taureans. This could be connected to love or money (or both). If others or external circumstances are on shaky ground then take a deep breath and try not to dig your heels in. If nothing is changing then you may be feeling restless. That’s because change is afoot. One or more areas of your life are being liberated. The trick is to be as flexible as possible.
Gemini (May 21st - June 20th)
Geminis are supercharged this month with the fiery planet Mars entering your Zodiac Sign. Now is the right time to sort your priorities and to ensure that you have an outlet for your pent-up drive. Boredom is not an option right now. You have plenty of energy at the best of times and now you can enjoy a high-paced life. You need to be mentally stimulated as well as physically active. The trick is to avoid distractions and focus on your main objectives. You also need to slow down somewhat at the end of the month.
Cancer (June 21st - July 22nd)
As Cancer Sun Sign you are usually so good at hiding your light under a bushel while nurturing others. However, this month it is time to shine in public, in your professional life or as an office bearer in a public group. An opportunity may also arise connected to your role as a parent. Don’t be shy. This is your chance to become the authority in one or more areas of your life. You can now receive the recognition that you so rightly deserve for all of the hard work that you put in behind the scenes.
Leo (July 23rd - August 22nd)
The time has come to broaden your horizons and take a more philosophical approach to life. This can be done through travel, cultural interchanges, spiritual or religious activities or higher learning. The choice is yours. The idea is that you take the focus off the mundane details of your life and see the bigger picture. Questions about life, its meaning and your own spiritual purpose may be at the forefront of your mind. You are likely to be more confident and enthusiast as you no longer worry about minor matters, but rather find meaning in most matters.
Virgo (August 23rd - September 22nd)
As a Virgo you have a sharp mind, logical and organised. Once you have decided on a matter you are not usually known for changing your mind, but this month challenges you to listen to your heart and not your head. With your ruling planet Mercury in sensitive Pisces, the time has come to have a change of heart on one or more long-held subjects. You usually set such high standards for yourself and therefore for others. Forgiveness is likely to be healing during April. You may need to forgive others, or possibly you need to pardon yourself.
Libra (September 23rd - October 22nd)
As a Libran you are adept at looking after other people’s needs, trying to keep the harmony. You are the ultimate diplomat. April sees the emphasis once again on your loved ones, rather than your own needs. Your relationship status is highlighted. If you are single then are you happy to remain so? If you are in a committed relationship then your nearest and dearest is centre stage. Aries-type people, in particular, need your attention now. Daily life, health and pets also demand your time and energy this month. Take time to do soothing activities.
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)
Do you have a lifestyle that satisfies you? Are your habits healthy? These are the types of questions that arise during April. The time has come to reassess how you invest your time, energy and money. If necessary, you can then make adjustments, particularly when it comes to improving your health and wellbeing. Mark your lifestyle goals on your calendar as a commitment to yourself. Otherwise you are likely to find that other people and their problems are taking precedence to your detriment. Unhealthy situations need to be resolved.
Sagittarius (November 22nd - December 21st)
It is hard to keep a good Sagittarius down! You are usually full of enthusiasm, ready to encourage others to join in your fun-filled activities. So, you will be pleased to know that the planets are aligned in a way that invites you to have as much fun as you like in April. The Sun is in the playful 5th House of your Solar Chart heralding child-like enthusiasm. You can be creative, good-humoured and light-hearted. You could be surrounded by children or you can appeal to those who would like to join your playful capers.
Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)
Your duties lie with home and family right now. You need to take a moment to consider what needs attention in your personal life. This could be household maintenance or renovations, or a family member who needs extra care. Either way your focus is on your private life rather than on your professional ambitions. It is time to shore up your foundations. Are you happy with the structures that support you and your loved ones? If not, then now is the time to plan and/or implement changes.
Aquarius (January 20th - February 18th)
Effective communication is the key for Aquarians during April. You have much on your mind right now and need to find a positive outlet to express your thoughts, feelings and opinions. If practical matters are the focus then the trick may be to write lists or to delegate some of your responsibilities. If emotional issues are emphasised then you may need to talk to a good listener or adviser. You may also need to escape with a good book or tv series for light relief until your mind is settled and decisions made.
Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)
Your personal finances need some attention during April. Changes in your spending habits may be afoot, or you could be required to start a budget. So many planets have been moving in and out of Pisces indicating changes in your personal life have far-reaching consequences. This may have resulted in a boost in your income or spending power. The trick is to make sure that these changes also boost your self-esteem. Self-worth is about more than money. You have much to offer through your sensitive understanding and handling of situations.
