All Signs

This week on Wed., June 21, we have the Summer Solstice. This means the Northern Hemisphere will have the longest day of the year and the shortest night. Day drinking will be rampant. In England, around 3000 BC to 2000 BC, the Stonehenge was built to align with the sunrise of the Summer Solstice, and the sunset of the Winter Solstice. An amazing feat considering mathematics had just been invented. (Imagine waking up one morning, “Seven! I’ve invented number seven!”) Actually, mathematics was invented in Mesopotamia. Now they were a very smart bunch; nevertheless, they did not have pi. Their pi was more of a tourtierre.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a powerful week for you because you’re eager to share your ideas, especially because you feel freer and emboldened to go after your desires and hoped-for goals. Part of this could be that you see ways to boost your income and get richer. (These do exist.) But also, this week, you have a lovely balance between energetic work and fun play. You’re busy; nevertheless, you are also willing to take time off to do your own thing, especially party and explore adventure and romance. Note: The next four weeks will focus on home, family and your private life. You might be more involved than usual with a parent.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Fasten your seatbelt because the next four weeks are going to be fast-paced and busy! Short trips, appointments, errands and increased involvement with siblings and relatives are on the menu. You’ll enjoy touching base with everyone because with Jupiter in your sign, you are confident! To some, you will seem bigger than life. Meanwhile, family events will be positive because Venus and Mars will activate your home life, especially introducing renovations, redecorating projects and exciting opportunities to entertain. Mercury sitting in one of your Money Houses might help you buy antiques and clever finds. It might also prompt some moneymaking ideas?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your focus will certainly swing to earnings, cash flow, money and possessions in the next four weeks. In fact, as you give this area of your life increased thought, you will explore deeper ideas as you ponder what your values in life are. For example, does the one with the most toys win? (And anyhow, where would you put all that stuff?) The good news is that right now you are pleased and happy with your environment and the people around you. In fact, you appreciate the beauty of your surroundings. You’re happy with your contacts. You also have a lot of mental energy, which is something you appreciate. (You never want to think that you’re getting stale.) Fear not. Ain’t gonna happen.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This week, the Sun moves into your sign to stay for the next four weeks. This is excellent news because the Sun will boost your energy and give you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year, which means this will be the perfect time to replenish yourself! You also will find you have a greater need to express yourself to others. Please go right ahead and do this because this is one of those times when your first duty is to yourself, and if you don’t fulfil that duty – you’ll be of little use to others. Naturally, you’ll make a great impression on others! Many of you will boost your earnings and at the same time, make exciting purchases. Ka-ching!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

In a curious way, you’ll be happy to take a backseat or play things low-key for the next four weeks because the Sun will be “hiding” in your chart, and this will likewise, make you feel content to be low profile. You will still be eager to socialize because fair Venus is in your sign making you charming and diplomatic with everyone. (Incidentally, this is an excellent window of time for you to buy wardrobe goodies.) Meanwhile, Mars will be in your sign giving you the energy to work hard to further your own interests. Your physical energy will in fact, be quite high, which means you will be more of a fighter for your own rights than usual. Expect increased interactions with younger people.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

After the Sun changes signs this week, you can count on increased popularity for the next four weeks! (Obviously, cooperation is your best option for the next several weeks.) For starters, most of you will become more involved in groups, clubs and organizations as you network with people. In addition, you’ll discover that friendships and some relationships are more important to you now. You might examine the role they play in your life. Meanwhile, among your friends, strive to establish who you are. Be yourself without fear or apology. This is a particularly good time for you to speak up and state your views to parents, bosses, VIPs and the police. Be like Popeye: “I yam what I yam!”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The Sun is sitting at the top of your chart for the next four weeks. (Only time all year this occurs.) It symbolizes that you are in a “spotlight”, and this spotlight is flattering. This means you will look very good to others – super competent – even if you don’t do anything special. (Go figure.) Obviously, you have a magical advantage and you should use it to the best of your abilities. Specifically, you will impress authority figures like bosses, parents, teachers and the police. This is also the perfect time to examine your life direction as a whole to see if you’re headed where you want to go. For that matter, are your goals your goals or the goals of someone else? Hmmm?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This week you will strive more than ever to do your own thing. Your personal freedom will matter, especially if you’re in an oppressive situation or being forced to do something that you don’t want to do. You will rebel! You want to travel, and seek adventure and new experiences – see new places and meet new faces! You want the thrill of new ideas, concepts and philosophies. It will be a time of learning for you. Meanwhile, you can also take advantage of the fact that authority figures look upon you very favourably right now. In fact, some of you will strike up a romance with a boss or someone in power. This is also an excellent time to wrap up important discussions about inheritances and shared property. Looking swell!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are a freedom-loving sign, and this week, more than ever, you’ll have a strong desire to escape any kind of control that restricts you. It’s as though you now have the strength to emancipate yourself from some kind of tyranny or oppressive situation. This could entail deep discussions about shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances – all things that affect your sense of security and survival. Nevertheless, throughout all this energy, you will still have a strong desire to travel and get outta Dodge. (What’s new?) After all, you are the traveller of the zodiac! Plus, you’ll enjoy networking and socializing. Meanwhile, continue to look for ways to improve your existing job or get a better job.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

For the next four weeks, the Sun is opposite your sign, which means that in your chart, the Sun (your source of energy) will be as far away from you as it gets all year. Ergo – you will need more sleep. This polarized position of the Sun will also give you greater objectivity in your closest relationships – spouses, partners and close friendships. Obviously, this is a great opportunity to improve these relations because you will see your role in how you relate to others. (Your sex drive will be amped, as well.) Meanwhile expect gifts, goodies and perhaps even money will come your way. Grab opportunities for vacations, fun outings, sports events and playful activities with kids. Yes!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Roll up your sleeves because you’ll be busy, productive and working as efficiently as possible in the next four weeks, because you’re motivated! Not only that, you are setting the bar high for yourself. These same high standards will also affect your expectations for your health, which is why many of you might try a new exercise regime or a new approach to your diet. Meanwhile, relations with partners and close friends will be warm and yet, energetic. While you juggle these energies, continue to look for ways to improve your existing home or move to a better home. Likewise, continue to be open to ways to improve family relationships because this is possible.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

It’s play city for Pisces for the next four weeks! Accept invitations to party and socialize with others. Enjoy attending sports events for yourself and others. Many of you will be more involved in kid’s activities or educating kids. Meanwhile, this is a wonderful time to slip away on a vacation as well as look for opportunities to express your creative talents. Family discussions might lead to tackling some home repairs, which will be a welcome choice for you. Get this stuff done while you can! When you have a positive feeling about where you live, by extrapolation, you have a positive feeling about the rest of your world.

June 18, 2023 Moon’s Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.
