Taurus Monthly Horoscope: June 2018

Taurus (Born April 21 to 30) and Taurus Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Taurus:

June 2018 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until June 21st:

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, however, 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.

From June 21st forward:

The Sun is illuminating your communications sector now, suggesting "busy-ness" and movement. You are exploring and searching, making connections, and paying more attention to your immediate environment. Social interaction is in emphasis 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 of something entirely new. 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, 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.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 13th: 

Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.

During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.

Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.

You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.

From June 13th forward: 

Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.

You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.

In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 12th: 

Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. 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.

From June 12-29: 

Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.

Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.

As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

From June 29th forward: 

Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.

Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene. For example, you might take home work or find that people drop by your home often during this cycle.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to energize your solar tenth house now. You bring much energy, enthusiasm, and drive to your career or to directing activities in your life during this cycle. You may be quite competitive during this period, preferring to achieve and accomplish things on your own. This attitude can, in some cases, be seen by others as an instigating or otherwise offensive energy, so be aware of that possibility.

This is a strong time for directly pursuing your goals, and, if you need that extra push or oomph to get a plan going, particularly a professional one, or to assert your desires, then this is the time. You are self-motivated, and your enthusiasm can be harnessed if you so choose.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your intuition and spiritual matters, because Mars rules these areas of your life. 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. 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. Private affairs and solitary work might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them as you reassess matters.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar tenth house during this period, enthusiasm for career and public or professional matters may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Ambiguities might have you second-guessing or reassessing your goals. You might feel less confident or you could simply feel more cautious now. Some projects may stall. You may be feeling as if you are only going through the motions when it comes to  your duties and responsibilities, temporarily lacking ambition, fire, or motivation. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. This Mars retrograde emphasizes practical and work matters. How you organize your time is in question now.

Overview Horoscope:

June 2018 Horoscope for Taurus: In the first few weeks of June, you're particularly invested in your things, values, money, valuables, and talents, dear Taurus. You have a good head for business or your practical affairs. You're giving special thought to making your life more comfortable and secure. Particularly around the 4-5, you see a financial or respect issue with more clarity and objectivity. Something dawns on you, or there is significant news coming in now that helps you make decisions about money, income, and relationships. There can be a turning point or fruition of a project first considered in March or new developments related to an issue from around that date. Do keep alert for situations when a more sentimental approach is preferable. Pay close attention to ideas generated now and wait until the days after the New Moon on the 13th for big launches. Keep in mind, though, that June is a rather stopped-up month, in general, so if something can wait for a less blocked time, then do wait for it!

Until the 13th, Venus continues to move through your communications sector. You are presenting your ideas and comments with charm and ease during this cycle. Making social connections and sharing your ideas comes smoothly and naturally. This transit refines, improves, and enhances your abilities to socialize, learn, communicate, and make connections. There could be purchases or gifts that help you connect and learn. You are more charming and creative with your words, and love can be more mental and verbal during this cycle.

The New Moon on the 13th can prompt a new approach to money. You may be making substantial changes to the way you manage money as well as the attitude that drives the ways you attract money and possessions into your life. From the 13th forward, Venus spends time at the base of your solar chart, and you may like nothing more than spending quality time at home! Focus can be on bringing more harmony, balance, and beauty to your personal life, home, and family.

Neptune's retrograde turn on the 18th can leave you feeling a little lacking in direction temporarily, or you could be questioning your ties to others as faith can briefly falter. There may be some confused situations or a bubble-bursting moment now, particularly surrounding a long-term dream or a friendship, but this is a temporary situation. Going forward, you will get back in touch with your dreams, possibly refining them to better suit your purposes and current situation.

A planetary configuration on the 19-20 is excellent for ideas, presenting a good time for resolving problems, communicating, reaching out, and learning new things. Whether it's through your own thinking, the conversations you have, or information coming in, you have reason to feel more confident, hopeful, and optimistic. This is an excellent time for writing, particularly about your feelings toward someone or for promotion or publicity work. Meetings with people may be unexpected and serendipitous. Conversations with friends can be inspiring and there is likely to be a real sense of camaraderie and support derived from your interactions. You see others for their better qualities. Perhaps you're wearing the proverbial rose-colored glasses now, but not in a destructive way!

A Venus-Mars opposition on the 21st is significant since it's occurring in signs that conflict with yours, Venus is your planetary ruler, and Mars is heading towards a station. The tendency is to react in a big way to frustrations, but bad behavior now can be impactful and memorable, so take it easy! There can be off-timing and impatience in our relationships. Give of yourself until you meet the halfway point, or to the point at which you still feel comfortable, in order to avoid feeling resentment. It's important to keep your cool.

As June advances, you'll be branching out more often. In your daily life, you are likely to experience more communication, movement, and activity, in general. It's a fine time to reach out and connect with people you don't always see, to take up new studies or interests, and to share your ideas with others.

One of the main reasons for taking things in rather than pushing things forward too quickly is the retrograde of Mars on the 26th. Sometimes people think they should pack all sorts of new beginnings into the days before a retrograde, but this is unwise. Motivation levels can dip and you might change your mind about specific projects and ideas.

This Mars retrograde period lasts from June 26th to August 27th, and the first leg of the retrograde journey (until August 12th) occurs in your solar sector of career and reputation. While it may cause some disruptions and frustrations in your professional life, you'll eventually realize that going over plans and making adjustments will benefit you most in the long run. Work requires more strategy and patience, as well as a lower profile. This is not the time to push. You may be experiencing delays and assorted slowdowns. Try to steer clear of differences of opinion and other conflicts that threaten to be too public or unprofessional. Work on improving skills and fine-tuning your work. You might be questioning certain life path and long-term choices. Manage your time carefully this month. There can be a tendency to procrastinate and to avoid essential responsibilities in the second half of June, so pace yourself accordingly.

A Full Moon and a Sun-Saturn opposition occur on the 27-28, and you may face some form of roadblock or delay. If you've let something go or neglected a form, responsibility, or errand, it can now come back to your attention, perhaps now with some interest, fines, or other minor consequences involved. This may also be a time for recognizing the limits of time or energy for a project that you began approximately half a year ago. Take this opportunity to make more mature and informed decisions.

Taurus (Born May 1 to 10) and Taurus Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Taurus:

June 2018 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, 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 in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 22nd: 

Venus continues to play in your solar third house during this period, indicating a more light-hearted, curious, and intellectual approach to love and pleasure, as well as a more easygoing communicative style.

During this cycle, you are especially charming in your communications. Your words are soothing, and you tend to use words to smooth over problems that you see around you. You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual.

Essentially, you are quite companionable during this cycle. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you see value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. Good companionship is as equally important as romance to you during this cycle.

You prefer an intellectual, communicative, and witty partner just now, and your powers of attraction increase through expressing these types of qualities. You are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport, and you are especially good at mediating conflicts now. If you were to begin a romance or friendship during this cycle, it would likely be quite light-hearted.

From June 22nd forward: 

Venus warms your solar fourth house now. During this cycle, you are especially fond of the life of the home and family. You are more receptive and gentle on a romantic level, and tend to be sentimental or nostalgic.

You may particularly value the aesthetics in and around your home during this period. If things are out of whack on the home front, you will do whatever you can to create a peaceful and stable atmosphere.

In relationships, loyalty and sensitivity are more important to you than typically. You might focus on ways to earn money in or from your home. This is a calming influence--a time when simple pleasures most appeal.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until June 3rd:

Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.

From June 3-17: 

With Mercury in your solar second house, 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 during this period. 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.

From June 17th forward: 

Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.

Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs.

As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your intuition and spiritual matters, because Mars rules these areas of your life. 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.

Private affairs and solitary work might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them as you reassess matters.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar ninth house during this period, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.

Taurus (Born May 11 to 21) AND Taurus Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Taurus:

June 2018 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until June 10th:

The Sun continues to move through your solar first house. You experience a renewal of energy and vitality now, and it's a strong time for increased personal confidence. The emphasis is on self-expression, what kind of impression you make on others, and beginning new personal projects.

You are a little more self-centered than usual, and this is quite natural and healthy as long as you don't take it too far. You are more decisive and forward-looking now, and you put more faith in your own abilities. Physically, you are likely feeling strong. This is an excellent cycle for making personal changes in your manner or appearance, and for any self-improvement endeavors. Personal projects that you begin now are likely to blossom nine months down the road.

From June 10th forward:

The Sun highlights your second house now, and your focus is on material affairs and comfort issues. Security is a driving force for you at the moment, 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.

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 in your heels and hang on to what makes you feel most secure than to take big risks.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until June 5th: 

Venus continues to grace your solar second house during this period. You might receive gifts or bonuses now, or you find much comfort in what you already own and have. You may be a little extravagant with money for the time being, as your desire for luxury and comfort items is increased now, and this is something to watch for. When it comes to love, you value those who make you feel comfortable and secure.

From June 5th forward: 

With Venus moving through your solar third house during this period, you are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefit through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until the 8th: 

Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.

From the 8-23: 

With Mercury in your solar second house, 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 during this period. 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.

From June 23rd forward: 

Mercury is right at home in the third house and offers a natural curiosity, facility with words, and the ability to multi-task successfully. More time spent on the phone, writing emails, in the car making short frequent trips, chatting, running errands, communicating with neighbors and siblings, visiting friends and relatives, and doing paperwork is likely now. There can also be a tendency to fuss over insignificant matters now, however.

Also, "information overload" is also a possibility. This may be a busy time with neighbors, classmates, siblings, and community affairs. Your interests are especially varied now and perhaps scattered. It's an ideal time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it, as your tendency is toward a certain level of intellectual detachment just now. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when circumstances call for you to stick to the routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project.

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, and the like. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects. As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.

Mars is retrograde from June 26-August 27

All Mars retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of your intuition and spiritual matters, because Mars rules these areas of your life. 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. 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. Private affairs and solitary work might need to be put on the back burner, or you could show less enthusiasm for them as you reassess matters.

From June 26-August 12

Occurring in your solar ninth house during this period, enthusiasm for higher education, travel, your personal philosophy, or adventure, in general, may wane, perhaps due to some problems or setbacks in these areas of life. Some projects may stall, or you could find that you are less confident about expressing yourself in adventurous ways. Your outlook on life in terms of the "bigger picture" could be more cautious, and you might find that you temporarily have less faith, or you are questioning the faith that has carried you to date. Refocus, backtracking, and review become necessary and recommended now. Your outlook and lust for life, for the time being, might not be as natural or spontaneous as it has been.

Overview Horoscope:

June 2018 Horoscope for Taurus: In the first few weeks of June, you're particularly invested in your things, values, money, valuables, and talents, dear Taurus. You have a good head for business or your practical affairs. You're giving special thought to making your life more comfortable and secure. Particularly around the 4-5, you see a financial or respect issue with more clarity and objectivity. Something dawns on you, or there is significant news coming in now that helps you make decisions about money, income, and relationships. There can be a turning point or fruition of a project first considered in March or new developments related to an issue from around that date. Do keep alert for situations when a more sentimental approach is preferable. Pay close attention to ideas generated now and wait until the days after the New Moon on the 13th for big launches. Keep in mind, though, that June is a rather stopped-up month, in general, so if something can wait for a less blocked time, then do wait for it!

Until the 13th, Venus continues to move through your communications sector. You are presenting your ideas and comments with charm and ease during this cycle. Making social connections and sharing your ideas comes smoothly and naturally. This transit refines, improves, and enhances your abilities to socialize, learn, communicate, and make connections. There could be purchases or gifts that help you connect and learn. You are more charming and creative with your words, and love can be more mental and verbal during this cycle.

The New Moon on the 13th can prompt a new approach to money. You may be making substantial changes to the way you manage money as well as the attitude that drives the ways you attract money and possessions into your life. From the 13th forward, Venus spends time at the base of your solar chart, and you may like nothing more than spending quality time at home! Focus can be on bringing more harmony, balance, and beauty to your personal life, home, and family.

Neptune's retrograde turn on the 18th can leave you feeling a little lacking in direction temporarily, or you could be questioning your ties to others as faith can briefly falter. There may be some confused situations or a bubble-bursting moment now, particularly surrounding a long-term dream or a friendship, but this is a temporary situation. Going forward, you will get back in touch with your dreams, possibly refining them to better suit your purposes and current situation.

A planetary configuration on the 19-20 is excellent for ideas, presenting a good time for resolving problems, communicating, reaching out, and learning new things. Whether it's through your own thinking, the conversations you have, or information coming in, you have reason to feel more confident, hopeful, and optimistic. This is an excellent time for writing, particularly about your feelings toward someone or for promotion or publicity work. Meetings with people may be unexpected and serendipitous. Conversations with friends can be inspiring and there is likely to be a real sense of camaraderie and support derived from your interactions. You see others for their better qualities. Perhaps you're wearing the proverbial rose-colored glasses now, but not in a destructive way!

A Venus-Mars opposition on the 21st is significant since it's occurring in signs that conflict with yours, Venus is your planetary ruler, and Mars is heading towards a station. The tendency is to react in a big way to frustrations, but bad behavior now can be impactful and memorable, so take it easy! There can be off-timing and impatience in our relationships. Give of yourself until you meet the halfway point, or to the point at which you still feel comfortable, in order to avoid feeling resentment. It's important to keep your cool.

As June advances, you'll be branching out more often. In your daily life, you are likely to experience more communication, movement, and activity, in general. It's a fine time to reach out and connect with people you don't always see, to take up new studies or interests, and to share your ideas with others.

One of the main reasons for taking things in rather than pushing things forward too quickly is the retrograde of Mars on the 26th. Sometimes people think they should pack all sorts of new beginnings into the days before a retrograde, but this is unwise. Motivation levels can dip and you might change your mind about specific projects and ideas.

This Mars retrograde period lasts from June 26th to August 27th, and the first leg of the retrograde journey (until August 12th) occurs in your solar sector of career and reputation. While it may cause some disruptions and frustrations in your professional life, you'll eventually realize that going over plans and making adjustments will benefit you most in the long run. Work requires more strategy and patience, as well as a lower profile. This is not the time to push. You may be experiencing delays and assorted slowdowns. Try to steer clear of differences of opinion and other conflicts that threaten to be too public or unprofessional. Work on improving skills and fine-tuning your work. You might be questioning certain life path and long-term choices. Manage your time carefully this month. There can be a tendency to procrastinate and to avoid essential responsibilities in the second half of June, so pace yourself accordingly.

A Full Moon and a Sun-Saturn opposition occur on the 27-28, and you may face some form of roadblock or delay. If you've let something go or neglected a form, responsibility, or errand, it can now come back to your attention, perhaps now with some interest, fines, or other minor consequences involved. This may also be a time for recognizing the limits of time or energy for a project that you began approximately half a year ago. Take this opportunity to make more mature and informed decisions.
