June is when the Sun transits through the Air element of Gemini and the Water element of Cancer.  What a powerful month we are entering.  We will experience three Eclipses between June 1^st and July 1^st.  That’s a lot of planetary energy for us to metabolize.  We will also experience two outer planets changing direction.  Saturn (lesson, responsibility, discipline, karma) will move direct and Neptune (dreams, deceit, secrets, love) will move retrograde.  With so much movement going on in the heavens there’s going to be many things going on behind the scenes as well as right in front of our faces.  This summer is going to be very interesting on a personal level as well as globally for all of us…

My suggestion for the coming weeks is to listen and observe before you make any quick decisions.  Eclipses are very pivotal times when turning points and breaking points take place.  Make sure you are aware of the decisions that you are making during this time because they carry a lot of weight on your life’s journey.

I’m wishing everyone continued love, prosperity, and peace!

Check out the following important dates to put on your calendar:

June 1st - New Moon Eclipse in Gemini (flexible, flirty, curious, chatty) - A New Moon Eclipse represents a head start with fertilized seeds being planted (which can mean a quicker outcome/manifestation), new beginnings and setting intentions for the coming months. This is also a time when you may need to let something go to make room for the new and improved coming into your life.  For Gemini, this is your one new moon of the year so you may want to set time aside to make a plan for the coming year. What do you want to see in 2011? Write it down and then take action during the coming months to make it happen. Signs most affected by this new moon will be Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces.

June 2^nd – Mercury (communication, thought, transportation& travel) moves into its ruling sign Gemini (flexible, flirty, curious, chatty)

June 4^th -  Jupiter (good luck, abundance, opportunities) moves into Taurus (practical, sensuous, determined)  for one year

June 9^th -  Venus (love, money & beauty) enters Gemini (flexible, flirty, curious, chatty)

June 12^th – Saturn (lesson, responsibility, discipline, karma) moves direct in Libra (beauty, diplomacy & relationships)

June 15^th - Full Moon Eclipse in Sagittarius (adventurer, truth seeker, optimistic).  A Full Moon Eclipse represents quantum energy releasing, letting go, ending and completing. A Full Moon Eclipse can also mean a karmic culmination of hard work which ends in celebration and maybe even moving into a totally unexpected direction.  Signs most affected by this Full Moon Eclipse will be Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces.

June 20^th -  Mars (passion, drive, anger) enters Gemini (flexible, flirty, curious, chatty)

June 21 -  Summer Soltice – The Sun moves into Cancer (protective, empathetic, creative)

Provided below are the horoscopes for each sign, if you know your Rising/Ascendant sign, read that sign, as well as your Sun sign.  To be clear, the Sun Sign forecast below is a generality.  If you want specific information based on your birth chart, I am available for readings to help you have the best possible year ahead.

Gemini May 21 – June 21:

Happy Birthday Gemini!  On the first day of June there is a New Moon Eclipse in Gemini!  What a wonderful way to start off the month.  And what does this mean for you Gemini…  It means fabulous changes are under foot and that there is a wonderful spotlight on your life!  What changes do you want to make, what do you want to expand that is already great in your life and what do you want to release and let go of…  It is all possible in the coming months.

Cancer June 22 – July 22:

We have a powerful month ripe with two Eclipses!  These Eclipses take place before the Sun goes into your sign of Cancer so this month you may feel very fatigued and overwhelmed.  But don’t fret, you will be receiving information to set yourself free of old energy that is no longer serving you.   So, instead of rehashing or over analyzing (which you’ve already done for years) this old energy let it go to begin a new and improved cycle of your life!

Leo July 23 – August 22:

The Eclipse season is here and it is activating your hopes, wishes, goals, and friendships!  What have you been putting off, what fears are holding you back from taking the first step into your destiny…  The Universe is giving you a front row seat to visualize your dreams and make them a reality!  Get to work Leo!

Virgo August 23 – September 22:

The Eclipses this month are activating your houses of career and home.  Are you up for a raise, a career or job change, are you looking at moving or are there family issues that need to be dealt with…  This month these issues will be in the forefront.  This is the month to put plans in action to allow for these changes to take place.  Don’t allow the details to keep you from making progress.

Libra September 23 – October 23:

Libras have been going through some challenging times but the Eclipses this month will be supporting you!  Now this doesn’t mean that everything is going to be coming up roses but you will have support.  A decision will have to be made this month that may be difficult but allowing yourself to let go will make room for the new and improved and that is what the Universe is pushing you towards.

Scorpio October 24 – November 21:

Between the Eclipses and Jupiter (good luck, abundance, opportunities) moving into Taurus and your 7^th house, you are headed into an interesting month.  Business partnerships and love relationships will be in the forefront in a positive way.  Are you looking at signing a contract for a new business partnership…  You may have to release an old partner to embrace a new and better situation…  A new love interest may come into your life at this time…  Whatever the situation, relationships will be key this month.  Enjoy!

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21:

You are on stage this month and the Eclipses are lighting your way.  This month the Universe is giving you an opportunity for a quantum leap of change in your life.  Look at what issues are coming up for you and what you continue to resist.  Move into the resistance so you can release it and allow for a new and improved existence.  No one said it would be easy but it will be worth your trouble to know that you were able to overcome, learn and triumph over your personal battle.  Truth and peace will be your reward.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19:

You should be very busy during this Eclipse month.  With the Gemini New Moon Eclipse lighting up your house of daily work, it’s time to get busy.  This month is about getting down to the details and making sure your T’s are crossed and your I’s are dotted.  Also, someone may be leaving your place of business which means that you may be burdened with their work as well.  Make sure you are taking the time to get your rest this month because you will need it.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18:

With the help of the Eclipses, this month can be a great time to start redefining and streamlining your creativity and self expression.  Do you have a book that needs to be written…  Is there a business proposal you want to get developed and funded…  Do you have a screenplay sitting on your desk…  Now is the time to connect with friends and networking groups to make your platform known.  Get out there and express youself!

Pisces February 19 – March 20:

This month the Eclipses are highlighting family and home as well as career.  Changes are necessary but the road is not clear.  With your ruling planet Neptune in the picture be careful that you don’t idealize the situation or deceive yourself with issues placed before you.  You may want to you discuss things with a trusted friend to make sure you’re seeing the picture clearly.  This is a time of adjustments and change so don’t retreat out of fear but seek out assistance with your decisions for clarity and guidance.

Aries March 21 – April 19:

Eclipse season is here and lighting up your house of communication and education.  Keep an open mind this month.  You will be busy learning new and intriguing things that will take you down a new and interesting path.  What you thought was a way to go may not be the case.  Flexibility and thinking quick on your feet will be very helpful this month.  Agreements and contracts may have to be relooked at this month as well.  So, make sure you are being assisted by the best to get educated on the pros and cons of each situation.

Taurus April 20 – May 20:

What a powerful month for you dear Taurus!  Jupiter (good luck, abundance, opportunities) will be moving into your sign on June 4^th for the next year and the Eclipses will shine a light on your finances.  The good news is that Jupiter will be sharing some great opportunities and blessings with you in the next year.  The bad news is that the Eclipses want you to clean up and organize your financial house.  Where do you need to cut spending…  Do you have a savings account…  Do you have your debt under control…  These are the issues that need to be addressed in the coming year BUT Jupiter will and can be helpful through the process J

February is when the Sun transits through the Air element of Aquarius and the Water element of Pisces.  We’ve entered into month with upheavals and unrest around the world.  Uranus (innovation, rebellion, surprise, separation & freedom) has moved into Aries (warrior, leader, pioneer) and may have helped to usher in this new uncomfortable and sometimes problematic energy.  As we know, change is not always the easiest road to travel but it is something that is always a constant in life.  Uranus is all about getting us out of our comfort zone and on the path of the new and improved or unconventional.  Unfortunately, Egypt, Tunisia, and Israel are feeling the effects of Uranus transiting Aries, which means we are ALL feeling the effects.  I’m not a mundane astrologer, meaning an astrologer who studies world events, so I can’t go into all the specific details of each country’s astrology chart but suffice it to say big changes and revolutions are under way.

Let’s just take one day at a time, enjoy every moment with ease and grace and send love and peace to all in the world that are fighting, struggling, or in pain.  Amen, Namaste, hallelujah!

Check out the following important dates to put on your calendar

February 2^nd – New Moon in Aquarius (rebel, intellectual, unique)  - A New Moon represents new beginnings, planting seeds, and setting intentions for the coming month. This is also a time when you may need to let something go to make room for the new and improved coming into your life.  For Aquarius, this is your one new moon of the year so you may want to set time aside to make a plan for the coming year. What do you want to see in 2011? Write it down and then take action during the coming months to make it happen. Signs most affected by this new moon will be Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio.

February 3^rd – Venus (love, money & beauty) enters Capricorn (driven, focused, responsible)

February 4th – Mercury (communication, thought, transportation & travel) enters Aquarius (rebel, intellectual, unique)

February 18^th - Full Moon at the last degree of Leo.  A Full Moon represents energy for releasing, letting go, endings and completions and at the last degree of a sign it really emphasizes that fact.  A Full Moon can also mean a culmination of hard work which ends in celebration and maybe even moving into a totally unexpected direction.   Signs most affected by this Full Moon will be Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio.

February 21^st – Mercury (communication, thought, transportation & travel) enters (intuitive, creative, artistic).

February 22^nd – Mars (passion, drive, anger) enters Pisces (intuitive, creative, artistic).

Provided below are the horoscopes for each sign, if you know your Rising/Ascendant sign, read that sign, as well as your Sun sign.  To be clear, the Sun Sign forecast below is a generality.  If you want specific information based on your birth chart, I am available for readings to help you have the best possible year ahead.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18:

Happy Birthday Aquarius!  With so much planetary activity in Aquarius, you are the star this month.  February is a great month to set you goals and intentions for the coming year because you have the baking for the Universe to make it a reality.  Your one New Moon of the year in Aquarius is on February 2nd.  Make sure you set time aside that day to create, compose, and construct your intentions for the coming year!

Pisces February 19 – March 20:

With so much activity in the 12^th house (secrets, dreams, intuition, escapism), February will be a time when you may have a need for alone time and solitude to prepare yourself for the Sun moving back into Pisces and your solar return on February 18th.  This is also a year that Mars (passion, sexuality, energy, action) will transit Pisces beginning Feb 22nd.  The last time you had a boost from Mars was March 2009.  This will be a good time to get projects underway and you will also have more energy and follow through to get them to the finish line.

Aries March 21 – April 19:

With Jupiter (good luck, abundance, expansion, truth) in your sign for only a quick six months you will need to capitalize on this good fortune ASAP!  Aries has a tendency to procrastinate and I tell you this is not the time for that.  February is a time to take the bull by the horns and start making things happen.  You have Jupiter on your side to pump up the optimism and adventurous spirit within you to create miracles.

Taurus April 20 – May 20:

Career growth should be your key intention this month.  With the New Moon in Aquarius on Jan 2^nd taking place at the top of your chart, this is a time to make your intentions known to the Universe.  Where do you see yourself in the next six months?  When you have the answer to that question you now know your destination.   With that destination in mind create a monthly plan, take action, and make your career dreams come true.

Gemini May 21 – June 21:

The planetary energy in mostly air signs at the beginning of the month will have you feeling exceptionally comfortable and optimistic.  Take this time and go on a weekend get a way or take a class or seminar.  Feed your inquisitive mind and enjoy.  When the Sun moves into Pisces on Feb 18^th the ease in which you were operating with will start to tighten up a bit but you will have enjoyed your time and it’s back to the old grind.

Cancer June 22 – July 22:

With so much planetary energy in your houses of self-worth and value this may be a month to take stock of what’s really important to you and the people closest to you.  Take stock to realign yourself back to the core of who you are.  Also, take notice and see how far you had moved away from that core so you don’t continue that pattern.

Leo July 23 – August 22:

With so much planetary activity in your house of marriage and partnerships this will be a time for you to put some energy and effort into re-establishing a healthy connection with those you may have been avoiding or taking for granted.  This also includes business partners.  Ask yourself what happened to those relationships that allowed them to be in such disrepair and ask how you can improve these relationships to bring them back to a place of happiness.  Then set out to heal what is broken or release what is no longer worth the struggle.

Virgo August 23 – September 22:

Virgo if you are looking for the perfect time to start a new fitness and wellness regime your time is here.  The New Moon (beginnings & planting seeds of intention) in Aquarius on Feb 2^nd is taking place in your 6^th house of health and daily routine, a perfect time to begin a new habit or practice.  Also with so much planetary in your 6^th house means that you could be very busy with work obligations.  Make sure you breathe and try not to take on more than you can handle with your Virgo pleasing ways J

Libra September 23 – October 23:

For all you single Libra’s out there this is your month to put on your finest finery and get out there and mingle.  Your 5^th house of romance is lit up like the fourth of July until mid February.  If you’re in a relationship this is a great time to rekindle the sparks with the one you love.  It’s also a great time to open doors of opportunity with your creativity and talents.

Scorpio October 24 – November 21:

Home and family is where your heart is going to be this month.  This is a great nesting time to reconnect with your loved ones and take care of domestic chores.  For whatever reason, you have been procrastinating about getting things fixed in the house.   Now is the time to bite the bullet and call that repair man or your honey-do and get the job done.  This month may also bring in a new work project that could expand your business.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21:

Your ruling planet, Jupiter (good luck, abundance, expansion, truth), has moved into your house of romance, children, self-expression, and adventure in the sign of Aries until June 2011.  If you are single, this is a time that an amazing love can come your way.  It’s also a good time to get your creative juices flowing because with so much planetary activity in your 3^rd house of negotiations and contracts a deal can be made and the next millionaire is born.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19:

With so much planetary activity in your 2^nd house of how you earn your money, I can bet finances are your most prominent thought.  This month you have a great opportunity to get very clear about what needs to stay and what needs to go.  Why are you working so hard?  Do you really need that designer suit, that mini mansion, that luxury car?  Do you really need to eat at the most trendy restaurants or buy that cup of coffee from Starbucks?  Take a look at what you are financially supporting to see that maybe you are working too hard for things that really hold no value in your life anymore.

Libra Symbol

October is when the Sun transits through the Air element of Libra and the Water element of Scorpio.  This month Venus (love, money, beauty & female) will go retrograde on October 8th – November 17th in the sign of Scorpio (intensity, sexuality, transformation).  Venus, the planetary ruler of Taurus and Libra, will also be travelling close to her partner in crime, Mars (passion, drive, energy, action & male) which is the planetary ruler of Aries and co-ruler of Scorpio, in the beginning of the month.  So, this month will be highly focused on relationships, love and what we value in life.  Past relationships, lovers and business partners may show up in unexpected places.  Having an encounter with a past relationship doesn’t mean that person is supposed to be back in your life (but it could…).   This person may be giving you an opportunity to look at how far you’ve progressed in your life thus far.   Or this person may show you how you still need to let go of old wounds, hurts, and grudges that are not serving you to move forward in your life in way that is light, clean and healthy to attract what you are truly looking for.  Pay attention this month to see who sends an email, calls, or who you run into at a random place.  How do you feel when you see that person…  Do you feel happy, excited, sad, angry, perplexed…  Whatever the feeling, honor it and take the necessary steps to bring it back to a healthy place so you can move forward in life with less baggage J

Check out the following important dates to put on your calendar:

October 1^st-2^nd – Mercury (communication, contracts & transportation), Jupiter (good luck, expansion & truth) and Uranus (innovation, rebellion, surprise, separation & freedom) are all aspecting each other to open up unexpected possibilities

This is also a time when you may need to let something go to make room for the new and improved coming into your life.  For Libras, this is your one new moon of the year so you may want to set time aside to make a plan for the coming year. What do you want to see for the rest of 2010/2011?  Write it down and then take action during the coming months to make it happen. Signs most affected by this new moon will be Libra, Aries, Cancer, and Capricorn.

October 8^th – Venus (love, money & beauty) goes retrograde the sign of Scorpio (intensity, power & control).  Venus goes retrograde every 18-20 months.  When Venus goes retrograde you probably don’t want to get married or purchase expensive art work.  Venus rules love, money and what you attract.  So it’s a time to take stock of what’s important to you, your finances and your love life and make adjustments.  This will mostly affect Taurus, Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo & Libra.

October 22^nd – Mercury (communication, contracts & transportation) moves to Scorpio (intensity, sexuality, transformation)

October 22nd - Full Moon in Aries.  A Full Moon represents energy releasing, letting go, ending and completing.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18:

This month may feel a little topsy-turvy with unpredictable activity going on in your houses of career and income.  Try not to react too suddenly with changes that come your way this month because situations can change quickly.  Make sure you keep a tight leash on your budget this month as well.  An unexpected bill may come in and you will want to make sure you have extra to cover it.

Pisces February 19 – March 20:

The New Moon in Libra on October 7^th will take place in your eighth house of intimacy, joint finances and transformation.  What relationships do you need to get real with this month…  Also, Venus (love, money, beauty) will be retrograde in your house of truth and legalities.  Are there past issues that need to be put to rest either through the law or spiritually?  Now is the time to lay the ground work to start tying up those loose ends.

Aries March 21 – April 19:

Cancer June 22 – July 22:

Cancer you have Mars (passion, drive, energy & action) and Venus (love, money, beauty) in your house of self expression, creativity and romance.  Venus will be retrograde and this will mark a time for you to look at past creative projects and see if any of them can be revitalized.  This is also a time when you may run into past loves when you least expect.  This is an opportunity for you to see how far you’ve come or not come in your journey…  What an interesting month you have ahead of you filled with possibilities.

Leo July 23 – August 22:

This month may bring family to the forefront.  Mars (passion, drive, energy & action) and Venus (love, money, beauty) will be creating a lot of energy in that area of your chart.  With Venus retrograde it may deal with resolving past family problems.  The good news this month is there may be an unexpected financial windfall that shows up at the beginning of the month.

Virgo August 23 – September 22:

Virgo this month may get off to a slow start.  With conflicting activity in your house of how you earn your money could mean delays to your financial plans.  Don’t be discouraged.  You’ve been through so much in the last couple of years, what’s one more month…  Make sure you write down the ideas that come to you in the next couple of weeks.  One of these ideas can be the flash of insight that creates the final puzzle piece you’ve been looking for!
