Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, June 20
We’re hesitant to reveal too much today because we worry about how others might react. The cautious Cancer Moon is supported by the Sun’s shift into Cancer at 7:08 pm EDT, marking the Summer Solstice. Rational Mercury’s square to stern Saturn has us thinking twice before we say anything, and an anxious Venus-Pluto aspect complicates emotions further. Nevertheless, we still desire romantic excitement as sensual Venus sextiles irrepressible Uranus.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Your chores have piled up, especially if you’ve been procrastinating lately. In fact, the stack may be so high that it could topple over. Carefully considered preventive measures can help save the day, but you must act with restraint. If you try to fix everything all at once by impulsively jumping in with both feet, your intervention might start an avalanche that brings it all down on top of you. A shortcut is certainly tempting, but a conservative approach works best now if you want to make real progress.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Intense interactions between you and your friends may pull you away from your regular routine as a minor disagreement turns into a serious conflict. You can smooth over the rough spots by choosing the right words to express your feelings. However, you don’t have to go to extremes while sharing your emotions. Handling the basics of practical living always makes sense, but today you must also honor what’s in your heart.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
You may feel a bit relieved and also a little let down today as the Sun leaves flighty Gemini for the watery realms of Cancer. Allowing the energy to shift out of your head and lower into your body might increase your vulnerability. Thankfully, no one expects you to have all the answers now. Instead, just listen to your intuition; it will steer you in the right direction.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
The Sun’s return to the sign of Cancer marks the beginning of your astrological birthday month, bringing increased vitality your way. You are reconnecting with your personal power now, but could have moments of self-doubt when you realize how much work is still ahead. Thankfully, you’re up for the challenge. Acknowledging whatever’s been holding you back enables you to change your assumptions and step into a more meaningful future.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You may be drawn into your own inner drama now as the Sun slips into your 12th House of Secrets. Memories of the past, your family or your childhood give rise to powerful feelings that flood into your imagination. Fortunately, having more options available gives you the chance to eliminate a repetitive pattern that’s no longer working for you. Although you might be all over the emotional map today, seeing things from multiple points of view inspires you to elevate your awareness to a higher level.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your vision of the future shifts today like the winds before a storm, making it difficult to know which way to go. However, you’re so perceptive now that you can discern the most significant thoughts from the background noise. Hold tight to your most valuable ideas, for they will guide you over the weeks ahead as the Sun travels through your 11th House of Hopes and Wishes. Don’t let anyone talk you out of your dreams, for they are the primary way to nurture your soul at this time.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You’re eager to participate in activities that involve people who can further your goals today. Naturally, doing what’s best for everyone is your preference, but it may not be so easy now that you’re being pulled in several directions. One part of you understands the sacrifice you’re ready to make, but another part resents what you are about to do. Remember, no one will be satisfied with the outcome if you aren’t happy with your choices, so reconsider your plans before initiating action.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’re able to emotionally connect with others while also staying in touch with your own feelings now that the Sun is visiting the watery realms of Cancer. However, don’t expect the current intensity to dissipate. Instead, your passions may actually deepen. But it will become easier to manage your emotions over the next few weeks as long as you don’t bury them with nervous chatter or constant activity. Creating time for contemplation makes room for new insights to pop into awareness and inspire your dreams.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Relationships remain a top priority with loving Venus still retrograde in your 7th House of Partnerships, but the emphasis is changing from casual interactions to deeper and more powerful issues. This is the stuff that intimacy is made of, yet you may be resistant to the feelings of vulnerability that accompany this dance. Nevertheless, it’s time to go beyond words and sink into the mystery. Even if you long for the safety of logic, this emotional exploration could reveal previously buried treasure if you’re willing to take the plunge.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You’re often focused on your work and how you can get ahead in the world, but now there is also a light shining on your interpersonal relationships as the Sun visits your 7th House of Companions. Give yourself permission to honor your feelings and try not to be overly concerned if you temporarily forget about your career ambitions. Putting extra time toward nurturing a partnership just might bring emotional rewards far richer than professional recognition.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Today it might seem as if the fun and games are over, but, happily, they’re not. It’s just that it’s time to complete unfinished chores, and playtime may get pushed down toward the bottom of your priorities. Although summer is officially here (in the Northern Hemisphere), it’s difficult to enjoy yourself now while still acting in a responsible manner. You’ll relax even more once you feel the satisfaction from a job well done.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You Fish can swim a bit easier for the next month now that the Sun is journeying through your 5th House of Fun and Games. Although your feelings have been running deep lately, you grow more lighthearted today. You might appear more spontaneous and playful, yet you’re also quite serious about what you want. Trust your instincts and follow the currents wherever they take you.
New Moon Report for June 20 – Sun in Cancer
Wednesday, June 20, 4:09 pm PDT, 7:09 pm EDT
The Sun sidles into sensitive Cancer where it spurs a strong desire for security. This solar event is the Summer Solstice (Winter Solstice below the equator), marking a change of seasons as well as signs. There is a sentimental side to Cancer with a hunger for safety and an inclination to seek familiar people, places and experiences. This deep yearning to reconnect with roots is meant to provide emotional fuel to nourish us now and supply sustenance for the future. However, stressful solar aspects to disruptive Pluto and Uranus on June 29 require us to tear down old structures. Eliminating unsupportive habits is required before we can think about settling into a comfort zone.
Current Moon Phase for Litha, June 20 – New Moon (Waxing)
New Moon
(waxing/0-45 degrees)
The New Moon is a time best suited for new beginnings! For the first 48 hours following the exact time of the New Moon each month, a window of opportunity opens for making wishes that, if noted, come true in the days and months ahead. There is a tremendous amount of enthusiasm in the atmosphere, making it a great time to go forward and begin projects that you feel instinctively attracted to initiating. Follow your impulses and let yourself make new starts in areas that are important to you.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, June 19
Today is a turning point, filled with a variety of interesting distractions. It seems as if each separate event is the most significant one, yet the Gemini New Moon at 11:02 am EDT teaches us about impermanence even as the Moon quickly enters watery Cancer at 1:33 pm. We plant our intellectual seeds and carefully nurture them as they sprout over the weeks ahead. However, we must let go of any old ideas that have already served their purpose.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
There are so many things to do today that you cannot keep up with your own agenda. The busy Gemini New Moon falls in your 3rd House of Information, tempting you to fill your mind with data instead of seeking the deeper meaning of your experiences. You may feel preoccupied by all the external noise, while wishing that you had a chance to delve into the pleasures that you know are waiting for you somewhere. Be patient; your time will come.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You are more concerned about money now with the Gemini New Moon activating your 2nd House of Resources. You might not be able to relax until your material world is more secure. It’s disconcerting if you’re consumed by the annoying realization that you’re not quite as financially comfortable as you wish. However, nothing is preventing you from reconsidering where you go next. You can always change your mind along the way.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
If you feel tangled up in your thoughts now, remember that curiosity is a perfectly natural Gemini trait and you may need to play out every possibility in your mind. The clever Gemini New Moon might have you obsessing about details you cannot possibly know. It’s OK if you feel lost in your own mental maze; you’re perfectly safe and exactly where you need to be today.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
Your dreams serve a very important purpose and you would quickly lose interest in your future without their inspiration. You often anticipate better times ahead, but now the Gemini New Moon in your 12th House of Endings may have your fantasies working in reverse. If you’re worried about what’s around the next corner, try not to push these concerns away. Embrace your thoughts as messages from within. But then, take it to the next level by giving yourself permission to work toward whatever you want.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
If you are trying to hold on to the status quo at work, it’s useful to re-evaluate your long-term goals now that the New Moon occurs in your 11th House of Dreams and Wishes. Your current mental agility can help you get what you want, but you must also learn something about yourself or others will think that you’re just playing games. Don’t try to bluff your way through the situation; be open to the lessons at hand.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
The interactive Gemini New Moon in your 10th House of Career indicates that you’re being encouraged by others to follow a particular professional path. However, you have additional goals that may not be addressed by your current choices. Fortunately, it’s not necessary to reveal your inner conflicts yet. Publicly expressing your deepest feelings today will only confuse your co-workers. Research your options before sharing what’s on your mind.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You may be highly motivated to let go of desires that have little chance of being fulfilled as the flighty Gemini New Moon stimulates your 9th House of Big Ideas. You have reached a point where you are ready to make changes in order to add excitement to your life and you have little patience for those who might stand in your way. Don’t sweat the small stuff today; concentrate on your long-term goals rather than the details of the day.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Be careful about complicating a delicate situation today as the noisy Gemini New Moon occupies your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Nevertheless, you are driven by an unquenchable desire to explain the unexplainable as you push toward getting what you want. Your belief that the outcome will be an all-or-nothing one can muddy the waters. The best way to avoid problems is to be honest and keep all communications clear of any possible misunderstandings.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
You may struggle to find balance between taking care of your most basic needs and meeting everyone else’s expectations as the dualistic Gemini New Moon falls in your 7th House of Others. Your real dilemma stems from the illusion that you can have it both ways now. Although your diplomatic skills rise to the occasion, you must eventually make a choice because you cannot serve two masters. Instead of getting caught up in the moment and rushing your decision, allow time for your inner voice to make itself heard.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Someone may see you as selfish today, but you know that you must attend to your own needs before you can truly help those around you. You may feel a bit overwhelmed now with all that you have going on and you won’t be much good to anyone if you don’t put the details of your life in order. Thankfully, the information-rich Gemini New Moon lands in your 6th House of Daily Routine, enabling you to increase your everyday efficiency so you have the time and energy to be of service to others.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Today’s adaptable Gemini New Moon falls in your 5th House of Self-Expression, motivating you to share your enthusiasm. However, you may be too quick to change your story for each new audience. Don’t be overly concerned about impressing others with your song and dance; if you please yourself, everyone else will jump on your bandwagon. Being loved starts with learning to love yourself more.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You may be extra protective of your home and family now because subconsciously you know that everything cannot stay the same. Today’s fickle Gemini New Moon occupies your 4th House of Security, tempting you to fearfully hold on to your feelings. Ironically, your attachment to the past might destabilize the present. Instead of trying to maintain the status quo, consider what you can do to become an agent of change.
New Moon Report for June 19th – New Moon in Gemini
New Moon in Gemini
Tuesday, June 19, 8:02 am PDT, 11:02 am EDT
The New Moon in curious Gemini normally sparks fresh ideas and connections but scatters attention. Yet this one brings focus and maturity. It’s the second Sun-Moon conjunction in this sign in a less than a month, so we benefit from the experience of the earlier New Moon on May 20. Serious Saturn forms a constructive trine to this lunation, adding structure and responsibility. Feisty Mars also gets in the act with a square from earthy Virgo that challenges us to turn concepts into concrete reality. This aspect can tighten nerves with tension that provides the impetus to take immediate action.
The New Moon in Gemini spawns a million and one ideas, most of which blow away in the breeze. Yet this lunation presents uncommon opportunities for capturing the best ones and putting them into words. People juggling too many projects can benefit from letting some of those balls drop. Reducing intellectual clutter clears the way for our most valuable notions to turn into reality.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, June 14
We can tire ourselves out today since we’re tempted to take on too many projects as the excitable Aries Moon provokes the Sun, Venus and Jupiter in restless Gemini. The airy Gemini planets provide fuel to the Aries fire, prompting us to act before we think. Fortunately, we feel more stable once the Moon shifts into steady Taurus at 12:21 pm EDT. The hectic pace temporarily slows down, allowing us to be productive without depleting our energy.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You may feel as if you’re spinning your wheels today, without getting much done at all. Part of the problem is that you are not as grounded as you think. Fortunately, you can make a conscious decision to choose a path that demonstrates your commitment to finish what you start. Focusing on just one task at a time enables you to have the positive impact you seek by the end of the day.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You don’t want everyone to know what you are thinking today, but you still may not be able to avoid sharing too much. You must pay close attention to your words or you might inadvertently reveal more than you intend. However, limiting your interactions with others can give you the personal space you need now. Stay on track by resisting the tempting distractions as best you can.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Being presented with other people’s intriguing plans can be overwhelming, making it tough to know who is cleverest, you or your friend. In any event, there are too many ideas flying around today and you could exhaust yourself just trying to keep up. However, you don’t need to overcompensate by going quiet; just don’t overdo it when you share your thoughts. Create a safe environment where everyone feels comfortable exploring their options.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You’re feeling more independent on the job and would like to stretch your wings a bit. Unfortunately, you may be asked to help a fellow worker, which can temporarily restrict your freedom of movement. However, this doesn’t mean you should be any less compassionate in your dealings with others. Although you might be resistant at first, you can deepen a friendship by being available now for someone in need.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Although you may be looking far into the future, current circumstances pull you back to your responsibilities in the present moment. Nevertheless, you’re not eager to shift gears so suddenly and a part of you continues to imagine what’s ahead. Just remember that everything happens for a reason. Even if you must let go of your vision today, nothing will be lost. Your dreams will return when you have more time to attend to them.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You may still feel a bit scattered today, especially at work. It’s as if you are too excited to settle down to the specific tasks at hand. Try not to worry so much about missing a deadline, for the internal stress generated by anxiety is counterproductive. Everything should turn out fine now even if you fall behind; what you don’t finish today can be completed tomorrow.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
If you have been a bit self-absorbed recently, you may be snapped out of your current reverie by an unexpected event. Something special might happen today that reminds you of the magic of the universe and it’s easy to make this even more important than it actually is. Remember that you are in an intense period of change that will continue over the next several months, so reserve your conclusions until you have a bit more perspective.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You may take on too many projects now, yet the chores you finish early in the day will open up more free time for you later. Complete as much as you can or you might have to turn down an exciting last-minute invitation. Packing as much as possible into the morning hours ensures that you’ll have sufficient time to play with your friends today, recharging your batteries for the work ahead.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
If you have too much fun during the day today, you might have to pay for it emotionally later on. Let others know if you truly want to participate, but don’t feel obligated to say yes in order to live up to someone else’s expectations. Ultimately, your best strategy is to carefully pace yourself so you’ll still have some energy leftover in the evening for what’s important to you.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
It’s challenging to remain focused on your own agenda today since your thoughts are flying all over the place. You might even try to do the same old thing in a completely new way just to avoid boredom. The problem is that your new approach could throw off your natural rhythm and ultimately slow you down. Save your creativity for something more fun while getting your chores out of the way as efficiently as possible.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
There’s so much to accomplish early in the day that you could easily lose sight of how to enjoy yourself. The simple solution is to avoid trying to do everything all at once. Remember, whatever you cannot finish now can be completed in a day or two. Finding a manageable balance between work and play makes all the difference in the world.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Your excitement about taking some time off can morph into anxiety if you are so overwhelmed with your current responsibilities that you’re afraid of losing the opportunity. Instead of projecting the pressure you currently feel into the future, keep reminding yourself to calm down and accomplish as much as you can right now. Thankfully, taking care of your obligations in a methodical manner helps to ease your concerns and enables you to relax later on.
Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, June 12
Pent-up tensions are expressed unexpectedly, suddenly changing the direction of our day. The Moon’s shift into excitable Aries at 12:21 am EDT puts us on edge and increases our need for adrenaline. Her stressful alignments with wild Uranus and passionate Pluto intensify our emotions, especially if we’re engaged in any kind of power struggle. Luckily, our flexibility can be the crucial key that turns a difficult time into a positive experience.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Trusting your natural talent to react in the moment without a lot of forethought enables you to turn a complicated situation into one that is beneficial for everyone involved. Just remember to respond to an unexpected change of plans at work without going overboard. There’s no need to convince anyone that you have everything under control, because you don’t. The good news is that no one expects you to have all the answers.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Your fantasies are spilling over into your environment, challenging you to separate your real life from your dreams. It’s difficult to make a decision now because everything tends to look better than it actually is. Stop and listen to what others are saying; a reality check is a smart idea today prior to making any significant moves.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Someone can misread your intentions today, reminding you that judging a book by its cover is never a good idea. Your current behavior says one thing yet your heart says something else. Nevertheless, don’t blame others for misunderstanding your message. Trickster Mercury is still twisting your tongue into expressing your truth in a very convoluted manner. Fewer words now are better than too many.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You may become drawn into other people’s business today, even if you usually try to avoid drama by keeping to yourself. Helping someone out sometimes is a slippery slope and being aware of your own feelings can prevent you from sliding too far and too fast. Putting up protective boundaries to maintain your emotional security isn’t necessary now. Thankfully, you can still be a friend without losing yourself along the way.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
You feel so good about yourself today that you want to say yes to everyone and everything. You make friends quite naturally because your generosity of spirit is contagious. Nevertheless, a bit of self-restraint is necessary or your overconfidence can set you up for disappointment later on. However, demonstrating your responsible outlook on life may not be as much fun at first. Thankfully, setting priorities enables you to accomplish more than you expect.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Although you’re receiving sufficient support to go ahead with your project now, moving too fast only creates problems. Your friends and associates may be enthusiastic about your plans, encouraging you along your way. However, if you bolt ahead too quickly, you could actually end up at the wrong destination. Even if you’re eager to move forward today, taking your time pays off in ways you cannot yet imagine.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
A friend or business partner may promise one thing today and deliver something quite different. You yearn for consistency now and really don’t like it when others lack follow-through. Your natural tendency is to graciously take it in stride, without showing your annoyance or anger. Nevertheless, it might be healthier to express your need for assistance from someone you can rely on. Your desire for harmony is admirable, but you still deserve respect just like everyone else.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Everything seems copasetic on the surface, but you may feel as if you took something one step too far. You can’t retreat; what’s already done is done. Keep in mind, though, that others may not be as judgmental of you as you are of yourself. You might not be able to avoid spinning your inner web of worries today, but remember that you don’t have to reveal your insecurities to anyone else. Things will look much better tomorrow.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
There is so much happening in your life now that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with every little detail. People around you may begin to annoy you, even if they are your friends. Try to look beyond your irritation, since you might be overreacting about something relatively insignificant. When in doubt today, express your thoughts by offering a positive perspective instead of venting your concerns. If your uncertainty lingers overnight, then find the right person to share your fears with tomorrow.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
You may feel as if you are being thrust forward like a rocket ship today, and you’re already way outside of your element. You really don’t want to do something if you aren’t ready, but you might not have the luxury now of saying no. Luckily, you can accept the challenges of new assignments without losing your footing. You are capable of reaching the stars even if you prefer to keep your feet on the ground.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
It’s so easy to fall in love these days that you might do it more than once. But allowing yourself to indulge in a romantic fantasy doesn’t necessarily mean that you must bring it out into the open. Your dreams are intense now, so pay extra attention to what’s happening to minimize confusion. There’s no need to express your desires to anyone else unless you truly feel ready to do so. Channeling your passion into a creative outlet will produce lasting results.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You are hearing conflicting messages today from your own inner guidance system. Keep in mind that you are more sensitive now than usual and could also be picking up subtle signals from those around you. Even if you don’t have a clear plan in place, choose your next project wisely and get started. You can always make necessary modifications when you are further along in the process.
Today’s Rune Spread for Monday, June 11th

||
 |
 |
|
 |
| The Diamond spread reveals the dynamic forces at work in a situation. It is the spread of choice for understanding a hidden conflict. Gold Runes are most commonly used for questions about business, career, and property. |
| The bottom rune represents the foundation that forms the basis of the issue. Inguz is the rune of completion and fertility. The presence of this rune suggests that tasks which have been initiated will come to fruition. This rune is associated with Ing and Frey, it is this connection that explains its connotations of both fertility and sexuality. The variant of this rune shown here is reminiscent of the twin strands of life, and of the challenge and rewards of bringing together things complimentary. |
| The left rune represents one of the forces acting on the issue at hand. Man represents Mankind. This rune evokes the image that although we must make much of our way in the world on our own, there is nevertheless an entire populous that shares similar experiences. Thus, this rune represents the relationship of the self with the whole – working together we can produce great results. Additionally, Man speaks to intellect and culture that separate us from the animals. |
| The right rune represents another of the forces acting on the issue at hand. Othila is the homeland. Unlike Fehu, this is the rune of immovable wealth. On a deeper level, this rune speaks to that which you inherit, be it material or genetic. Since Othila is seen reversed here, the obstacles you confront are among those things in your background that you take for granted and consider fairly stable. Problems from the “homeland”, from familial inheritance, or from our own origins may be worked around, but they cannot be made to go away. Fortunately, for many problems, this is all that is required. |
| The top rune represents the conclusion to which your strivings can carry you. Ken is the rune of light and knowledge, driving away darkness and ignorance and revealing hidden truth. This rune also brings forth images of friendship and comfort. Ken is the light of inspiration, the light of imagination, and a beacon in the darkest hours. |
New Moon Report for June 11th – Chiron Retrograde
Chiron Retrograde
Monday, June 11
The wounded healer’s backward shift, much like Neptune’s turnabout a week earlier, indicates that the solace we seek comes from within. Memories of past trauma provide additional chances to learn and finally transform pain into peace. False starts are possible as the jittery Gemini New Moon eclipses the Sun. This is a good time to be a window shopper who patiently examines a wide variety of items without committing to buy any of them. The real cleverness of this lunation is to catch egos in the act of self-inflation so that we can counter misplaced pride with humor and detachment. Stepping back to take a second look will ultimately be more productive than impetuously pushing ahead with plans and projects that aren’t ready for prime time
New Moon Report for June 10 – Jupiter in Gemini
Jupiter in Gemini
Monday, June 11, 10:20 am PDT, 1:20 pm EDT
The planet of expansion’s 12-month stay in curious Gemini opens minds and increases options for the future. Ambitions may be split as multiple paths of interest divide attention. Jupiter is not at ease in this dualistic sign because it prefers one overarching answer to a diverse collection of possible meanings. There’s also a tendency to give small bits of information more value than they merit as we allow facts to overcome the philosophical perspective Jupiter represents. Cutting out intellectual clutter and eliminating excess data are necessary to find the wisdom that we seek.
New Moon Report for June 7 – Mercury in Cancer
Mercury in Cancer
Thursday, June 7, 4:16 am PDT, 7:16 am EDT
Thoughts are soaked with emotion with mental Mercury’s entry into this water sign. Articulating feelings and needs may come easily, yet a loss of objectivity is the price to pay for more intimate communication. Careful speech is meant to increase the sense of safety we seek in protective Cancer. Withholding information is another way to avoid conflict, yet Mercury’s hard aspects with Uranus and Pluto on June 11 reduce the likelihood of friction-free conversations next week
New Moon Report for Monday, June 4th – Neptune Retrograde
Neptune Retrograde
Monday, June 4, 2:03 pm PDT, 5:03 pm EDT
The planet of dreams’ retrograde turn is a subtle influence that generates inspiration from within. It can also revive previous sources of enlightenment and spiritual practice that have been ignored for a while. Communion with nature and connection with spirituality are gifts that we can give ourselves. Compassion and forgiveness will heal our wounds and restore inner faith.
New Moon Report for June 4th – Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius
Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius
Monday, June 4, 4:11 am PDT, 7:11 am EDT
The enthusiasm of this Sagittarius Full Moon is shadowed by a Lunar Eclipse that reminds us to let go of old dreams before we pursue new ones. Beliefs may need to be re-examined when they fail to provide the answers and inspiration that they did in the past. Education and travel could be interrupted and it might be wise to cancel a class or a trip if the going gets too tough. Fussy Mars in Virgo’s square to the Full Moon sparks battles over systems and details, yet worrying about methods is wasteful until long-term goals are clearly defined.

Chatty Mercury is more talkative than ever in its airy home sign. Minds open and words flow with ease, perhaps too much at times as thoughts may be spoken carelessly and data accepted uncritically. Getting the most out of the intellectual richness and verbal skills of this transit requires some discernment. All ideas are not equal and all information is not useful. Keeping one’s purpose and priorities in the foreground helps to avoid these tempting distractions.
Daily Horoscopes for Friday, May 18
We may actually have time to take a few deep breaths and relax today as the Moon enters bucolic Taurus at 6:03 am EDT. Although we might want to accomplish a lot now, it’s difficult to shift into gear with six planets in solid Earth signs. The lack of momentum means an early start to a lazy weekend as indicated by the Moon’s harmonious trines to Mars and Pluto. However, the pace picks up noticeably by Sunday evening’s New Moon Solar Eclipse.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are building your case to justify something you intend to do, but this rationalization may be more about convincing yourself than anyone else. Think about what you’re taking for granted before reconsidering your assumptions. You might need to change your mind, even if you are certain that you’re right. It’s crucial to establish an enduring foundation for your beliefs before you are too far along in your plans.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
You are under steady pressure to change, but you will grow stronger by resisting on specific points. You may believe that others are judging you unfairly, yet you seem to take it all in stride. However, you could grow weary from the stress because you must pay attention to every single move you make. Try not to get too frustrated if your progress is stymied. It’s better to take small steps than none at all.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
The intensity of your daily routine continues to settle now, but even if you act as if you’re doing great, things may not be as pleasant as you prefer. You may feel restless because you want more variety and excitement in your life. If your need for mental stimulation isn’t being met, then something must change. Bide your time for a few more days; the energy will shift in a positive direction next week.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You have been running hot and cold lately, challenging you to find a happy medium between the extremes. Even if you attempt to smooth things out today, it still may feel like you’re bouncing back and forth between optimism and pessimism. Thankfully, the pragmatic Taurus Moon gives you the common sense to move beyond your clever words. Remember, if you don’t push so hard now, you won’t have to retreat as far.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
It may be easier for you to reach your goals today if you are more realistic about them. Fortunately, your concentration seems to take you further than usual now, enabling you to make a lot of progress. Ultimately, you don’t need to pull any rabbits out of magical hats; you have a good chance of touching the stars if you just keep your feet on the ground.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You may discover an opportunity to embark on a special trip, an extended holiday or just a weekend getaway now with four planets in your 9th House of Travel. Don’t let this opportunity pass. Daydream about your vacation today; don’t even try to hide your vision. Just bring an unconventional scheme out into the open, and the rewards might follow quicker than you expect.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You can be pulled into someone’s drama now before you even realize what happened. Although you probably have plenty of complications in your life, there may be a few more yet to handle. Even if there’s a storm brewing around you, the good news is that you’re feeling more centered. Don’t be tricked into thinking that you will lose a chance at success unless you act decisively right away. The truth is that even the smallest steps can lead to major improvements.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You are like a participant in a relay race now, trying to maintain a steady pace. You are finished with one cycle yet the next one hasn’t yet started. If you aren’t willing to let go of the baton, you will be stuck doing the same old thing. Fortunately, your teammates are more stable than you think and handing off responsibilities to them is a smart strategy.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Attention to endless minutiae can make you crazy as the practical Taurus Moon joins three other planets in your 6th House of Efficiency. However, demands are being made on you to pay additional attention to things so tiny that you’re sure there’s a conspiracy afoot. You would like to demonstrate how good you are at managing the big picture and prefer to ignore the details. Balance is your key to success today, so keep one eye on the greater whole and the other on the specifics.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Endings and beginnings go hand in hand, but sometimes the timing is off. Unfortunately, you may already be champing at the bit, yet another set of obstacles prevents you from reaching your destination. Instead of bolting ahead, take the time to methodically finish up the old business in your life so you are completely free to step into the new creative cycle starting next week.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
Your focus is on domestic affairs this weekend, and you’re likely to spend more time at home and with your family. You might even get drawn into activities without being formally asked. Your boundaries aren’t as firm as they usually are today, leaving you more susceptible to the whims of those you love. Although you may not know exactly the best way to move forward, the wisdom will come to you just in the nick of time.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
You don’t want to have any secrets now. Whatever it is that you’ve been holding within your heart, it’s time to open up. Receive the love, while remembering that the potential for hurt arrives at the same time. Ultimately, you can make the best of a difficult situation if you’re willing to share the wide range of feelings that you’re experiencing.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Friday, May 18
We may actually have time to take a few deep breaths and relax today as the Moon enters bucolic Taurus at 6:03 am EDT. Although we might want to accomplish a lot now, it’s difficult to shift into gear with six planets in solid Earth signs. The lack of momentum means an early start to a lazy weekend as indicated by the Moon’s harmonious trines to Mars and Pluto. However, the pace picks up noticeably by Sunday evening’s New Moon Solar Eclipse.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
You are building your case to justify something you intend to do, but this rationalization may be more about convincing yourself than anyone else. Think about what you’re taking for granted before reconsidering your assumptions. You might need to change your mind, even if you are certain that you’re right. It’s crucial to establish an enduring foundation for your beliefs before you are too far along in your plans.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, May 15
We are determined to reach our goals, but may be frustrated because satisfaction seems just out of our grasp as beautiful Venus begins her 6-week retrograde phase. We try to be practical today, yet we are drawn back into our fantasies with the Moon in dreamy Pisces. The Moon’s shift into feisty Aries at 5:45 pm EDT increases our restlessness, but patience is rewarded now that Venus’ harmonious trine to Saturn delays gratification.
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Managing your money requires more of your time now that you are attempting to solidify your financial position. You must focus your attention if you have put off your fiscal responsibilities. It’s challenging to deal with the real issues because you are so easily distracted these days. Nevertheless, you can quickly eliminate some unnecessary expenses simply by cutting back on a few social activities. Graciously declining an invitation today gives you more time to get your affairs in order.
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)
Close friends and co-workers may perceive you as being more stable than you currently feel. It’s not that you’re hiding anything from them now; it’s just that you can use your charm to cover up your insecurities. Thankfully, you have a chance to build your self-esteem over the next few weeks, especially if you can be vulnerable with someone you trust. Expressing your uncertainty opens the door to a deeper conversation and a more intimate connection.
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)
Everything seems to be moving too fast, yet you are being given an opportunity to slow down now that sweet Venus turns retrograde in your restless sign. Unfortunately, you might feel that personal relationships are overly complicated, yet you don’t want to lose what you already have gained. Thankfully, if you bring your concerns out into the open in a kind and gentle manner, you can establish an important foundation for whatever comes next.
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)
You’re so close to achieving your goal, but now you may feel like you’re falling short as Venus turns retrograde just before reaching your sign. Whether you like it or not, it’s as if your personal fulfillment has been put on hold. Nevertheless, the weeks ahead can still bring happiness. Just remember that immediate gratification is only temporary, but working toward a meaningful long-term goal sustains your feelings of well-being.
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Your career objectives continue to be in the spotlight, and you really want your friends and co-workers to appreciate your efforts. Unfortunately, they don’t seem interested in going out of their way now just to make you feel good. Don’t actively seek recognition; pursuing fame only delays the recognition you want. Just stick to the tasks at hand and do the best job you can. The right people will acknowledge your contribution, even if it takes longer than you want.
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
You have a very realistic attitude about your long-term goals now, but you see two extremely different paths that could lead to the same ultimate destination. Your friends and associates may give you conflicting advice; nevertheless, you still need to make a decision. Instead of listening to everyone else’s opinions, make a list of all the pros and cons for each option. Your judgment will steer you in the right direction today as long as you trust the facts rather than your emotions.
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
You are particularly sensitive to your key planet Venus as she begins her retrograde cycle today, pulling you backwards in time. Frustrations could get in the way of your creative energy if you try to take a shortcut. But you can be wonderfully productive over the next couple of months if you’re willing to work methodically. Your challenge now is to harness your ambition and turn it into a practical plan that you can put into action.
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
Your insatiable need to understand the deeper significance of things is sufficient to slow you down these days. You are dismayed that others are more driven to have a good time than they are to learn something new. Thankfully, you’re able to lean on a few very special friends from your past for the kind of support that you need. Ultimately, your ability to speak your truth inspires your friends to engage in the intense kind of interaction you seek.
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Slow and steady actually has a better chance at winning the race today. But this isn’t just a clever phrase from an old children’s story. You must think like the tortoise now, and take one careful step after the next. If you race ahead like the hare, you’ll only run into difficulties later on. Planning for the distant future is pointless now unless you take care of things in the present moment.
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
Pragmatic Earth energy abounds today, requiring you to analyze what you know again and again, before altering your direction. Everything at work seems to be moving along rather slowly, increasing your anxiety and triggering fantasies of running away. Although you could benefit from having more time to complete your job than you planned on, the delays can be rather frustrating. Nevertheless, don’t put off working on a project; it’s easier to accomplish something now than you might think at first.
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
You may be required to untangle a melodramatic soap opera in which you appear to play a leading role as romantic Venus does her retrograde dance in your 5th House of Love. Even if your life is relatively quiet now, you still could experience several weeks of relationship stress. Thankfully, differences can be resolved with repeated attempts to understand one another through honest dialogue. Compromise is the key to relationship success.
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Domestic stress puts you through your paces during the weeks ahead, as Venus backtracks through your 4th House of Home and Family. It feels as if there are serious issues that need your immediate concern and intervention. Just don’t waste your precious energy trying to fix everything all at once. You can’t. Simply acknowledging that it will take time to work everything out can alleviate the pressure and help you cope on a daily basis.
