Current Moon Phase for June 7 – Disseminating Moon

Moon Phases: Disseminating Moon

(waning 135-90 degrees)

by Jan Spiller

This is a tremendous time of transmutation. All of the prior elements are coming together for a final burst of creative output. You have seen a clear view of your own needs and the posture of significant others. Now the accumulation of that input is leading to a deep, core change within you. In this phase, you will naturally be inclined to seek higher guidance so that you can emerge from this transformation successfully. This Moon Phase favors sharing what you have learned (and are learning) with others.

Eclipsed Moon Over Wyoming  

Credit & Copyright: Mack H. Frost 

Explanation: A setting full moon rarely looks like this. Monday morning just before a fully lit  Strawberry Moon dropped behind the  Absaroka Mountain Range near  Cody,  Wyoming,  USA, the  shadow of the Earth got in the way. A similarly setting  partial lunar eclipse was visible throughout most of North and South America, while simultaneously the same  partially darkened moon was visible throughout eastern Asia. Pictured in the foreground is a snowbank formation known as the  Horse’s Head off a tributary of the  Shoshone River. Lunar eclipses occur about twice a year, and the  next one —  a penumbral eclipse —  will occur in late November.

Today’s Tarot Card for June 6th is The Moon

The Moon

 

This Tarot Deck: Royal Thai

General Meaning:    What has traditionally been known as the Moon card refers to a deep state of sensitivity and imaginative impressionability, developed within a womb of deep relaxation. Here we dream and go into trance, have visions and receive insights, wash in and out with the psychic tides, and experience deep mystical and/or terrifying realities beyond our ordinary senses. The full moon and/or eclipse cycle charted by the Magi (as in some of the earliest Moon card images) exemplify this as a mechanism that Nature uses to expand consciousness.
The variants of the courtly lovers (representing skillful use of the sex force) or the man sleeping it off under the tree (use of drugs to alter consciousness) are also traditional avenues for tapping this primal force. Human interest in higher states propels us to the frontiers of consciousness, where we cannot always control what happens. The Moon card represents the ultimate test of a soul’s integrity, where the membrane between self and the Unknown is removed, and the drop of individuality reenters the Ocean of Being. What transpires next is between a soul and its Maker.

Your Daily General Horoscopes for June 6th

Aries

In a very rare cosmic event, not to be witnessed again in our lifetime Venus, planet of love moves across the face of the Sun today, in a rare Venus eclipse. This is a real eclipse of the heart and with Venus in retrograde motion and the Sun in direct motion, they come together in a way that not only puts the past and future into context, but gives both a voice. Today what you see and what you feel are one in the same.

Taurus

If the Moon’s position in your financial sector over the last few days and the lunar eclipse that came from this created some financial pressures, tensions and wake up calls, then today you’re likely to see the benefits. For no longer asleep at the wheel you’re able to seize the opportunities presented by a rare Venus eclipse in your income sector and the laws of attraction this evokes.

Gemini

It was almost 8 years ago to the day that you experienced a rare Venus eclipse in your sign and today there is a repeat, with Venus moving across the face of the Sun, for the last time in our lifetime. As this happens all Venus’ desires and the Sun’s reality checks come together, with a blindingly clear sense of what you really want and of where your heart really stands. With this comes a clear sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going.

Cancer

Expect your focus to turn inwards today, with a need to factor in plenty of down time where you can pay attention to a sense of awareness developing from within. You’re in the closing phase of your current solar year and Venus cycle and with both in a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart they cross paths today, literally. As Venus crosses the face of the Sun, in a rare Venus eclipse, expect the light to shine on your inner psyche.

Leo

Having the Sun and Venus align in a social and serendipitous part of your chart is not uncommon, having last happened in 2008, but what makes today’s alignment so special is that Venus will move across the face of the Sun, forming a rare Venus eclipse. This brings the laws of attraction and synchronicity together in a powerful way but also in a very transparent way, allowing you to recognise when it’s in effect and how to seize the moment.

Virgo

Just 2 days ago the Sun was under direct pressure from a lunar eclipse in your home and family sector, but he’s not only coming out from behind the Moon’s shadow but coming back into his own and receiving some stunning support today. It’s the Sun and Venus’ alignment in your career sector that creates a very rare and stunning Venus eclipse, with your professional desires and reality coming together in an illuminating way.

Libra

With Neptune now in retrograde motion in your work sector and new doors not yet open on the career front, you have a chance to buy into a special sense of adventure in the air today. All of a sudden you’re waking up to things in life that are free and to the experiences that are now possible. It’s a Venus eclipse, with the planet of desire crossing directly in front of the Sun in an adventurous part of your chart, that reveals life’s options in all their glory.

Scorpio

A rare Venus eclipse in your financial sector today brings Venus’ financial desires and the Sun’s financial realities together, giving you a clear sense of what you want and where things stand, as well as a clear sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going. With Venus in retrograde and the Sun in direct motion, this creates a sense of revelation in all directions. Regardless of your financial reality you can’t change what you can’t see and today you have 20/20 fiscal vision.

Sagittarius

This is a powerful day on the relationship front and a chance to balance things out after the lunar eclipse in your sign 2 days ago created some financial pressure. Today the Sun and Venus not only align in your relationship sector but form a rare Venus eclipse, with the planet of love crossing the face of the Sun and in the process bringing together a clear sense of what you want and of where things stand, with the potential to create a real turning point.

Capricorn

Just 6 days before Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion is due to return to your work sector, kicking off a lucky and expansive year on the work front, the Sun and Venus align here today to form a rare Venus eclipse. As Venus crosses the face of the Sun their energies unite, giving you a very clear sense of what you want and where things stand, as well as a clear sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going.

Aquarius

The last time that Venus, planet of love aligned with the Sun in a romantic and creative part of your chart was in 2008, but today they go one better, aligning to form a rare Venus eclipse, creating the ultimate eclipse of the heart. With Venus in retrograde motion and the Sun in direct motion, this not only brings your heart’s desires and a sense of awareness together, but the elements of hindsight and foresight.

Pisces

It was just 2 days ago that a lunar eclipse in your career sector put direct pressure on the Sun in your home and family sector, bringing any home/life balance issues to a head. Today the tide turns completely, with an alignment between the Sun and Venus creating some very special conditions on the home and family front. As the Sun’s reality checks and Venus’ desires come together, this gives you a clear sense of what you want, where things stand and how to bridge the gap between the two.

Your Daily Financial Horoscopes for June 6th

Aries

When Jupiter leaves your income sector next week it will not only leave you with no planetary activity here but in either of your money houses. It’s been all about the money for so long that it’s hard to imagine a time when it won’t be. Yet already you need to be looking at life’s other currencies and raising the bar there.

Taurus

Just 2 days after a lunar eclipse in your financial sector brought things on both the financial and income fronts to a head, a much rarer Venus eclipse falls in your income sector today. Just 6 days before lucky Jupiter is due to return to your income sector, this has the power to bring things on the income front to a turning or tipping point.

Gemini

Things start to heat up on the money front today, with the Moon’s return to your financial sector just as Mercury is preparing to return to your income sector. Over the course of the next 24 hours first your financial instincts and then a smart head for money will kick in, with a need to keep your mind and your options open as they do.

Cancer

Life and your income opportunities in particular is not like a vending machine, when you put effort in and get immediate returns. Sometimes you have to invest and put in a lot of effort on the professional front trusting that when the time is right that the income results will make it all worthwhile.

Leo

While there are some strong energies in play on both the financial and income fronts they are no longer getting in each other’s way and with very different games in play this shouldn’t be as complicated or as stressful as it once was. If you’re still feeling some financial pressure look at where you might be creating challenges where there are none.

Virgo

On his own and due to turn retrograde in your financial sector next month Uranus, planet of surprise and synchronicity should be taking a more background role than he is. But chances are you’re just as motivated and you’re just as likely to see evidence that the laws of synchronicity are still in effect.

Libra

When Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion leaves your financial sector in 6 days time he won’t return until 2023 and with no planetary activity at all until April 2013, this really is the end of the line. As impatient as you might be to get to the income generating months of the year, it’s important to resolve things on the financial front first.

Scorpio

Just 2 days after a lunar eclipse in your income sector brought things to a head or to a turning or tipping point, a much rarer Venus eclipse in your financial sector brings the focus back to your financial situation as a whole. As your financial desires and reality align, this reveals both the gap between the two and how to bridge it.

Sagittarius

The Moon returns to your income sector today, just 6 days before Jupiter is due to leave your work sector and just as Mars is moving into his final and most urgent weeks in your career sector. This is giving you both a nose for money and awakening your inner rebel, just when you were in danger of falling asleep at the wheel.

Capricorn

While you have no planetary activity in either of your money houses, with a lot of planetary activity in your income sector in the early months of the year and Venus, planet of money, desire and attraction in your work sector, it’s your income situation and matters that has your attention. That’s okay for now, so long as you don’t stick your head in the sand over financial matters.

Aquarius

In just 4 weeks from today Mars, planet of passion, drive and ambition and the warrior planet of the cosmos will leave your financial sector, wrapping up his longest visit in 47 years. There is a lot that can be accomplished in 4 weeks and Mars will be working to make sure that there is no room for regret and no stone left unturned.

Pisces

If there is any pressure on the money front it’s now more likely to be coming from income matters rather than financial matters, as it was in the past, but even then it’s more likely to motivate you. You’ve reached a point in the year when you’re most in danger of your income motivation dropping off, with any wake up calls having to be seen as a good thing.

Your Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for June 6th

Aries

An extremely rare Venus eclipse creates an opportunity to give your heart and the past a voice, creating a clear sense of what you need to say and the tools to make it happen. With a strong alliance forged between forces on the communication and relationship front, it’s your relationships that will benefit.

Taurus

When the love gods were divvying up 2012 between themselves, they obviously came to a consensus that the love gods favouring all things romantic would get the first half of the year and those favouring your relationships would get the second half. But with the half way point of the year approaching, a new sense or romantic urgency and impatience is setting in.

Gemini

Just 2 days after a lunar eclipse in your relationship sector the love gods are at it again, this time with a much rarer Venus eclipse in your sign. As Venus literally crosses the face of the Sun this will make your true feelings impossible to ignore or deny, with a truth that has been waiting to be heard too impatient to wait any longer.

Cancer

On the same day that Venus, planet of love crosses the face of the Sun to form a rare Venus eclipse, evoking a strong sense of romantic nostalgia, the Moon returns to your relationship sector where he’s likely to evoke an emotional response. Pay attention to the strong feelings both events create, heeding any wake up calls they deliver.

Leo

The Moon leaves your romantic sector today, just hours before Venus, planet of love crosses the face of the Sun to form an extremely rare Venus eclipse. You’ve already experienced one eclipse of the heart in the last 48 hours and now you’re experiencing another, with this one unleashing the laws of attraction and synchronicity.

Virgo

With Pluto in retrograde motion in your romantic sector for almost 2 months and Neptune spending his first full day in retrograde motion in your relationship sector, a sense of nostalgia and a focus on the past has intensified. It’s the Moon’s return to your romantic sector today that gives you an intuitive read on your heart and any nostalgia this evokes.

Libra

This is not the time to be glossing over things on the relationship front, but at the same time this is not a time where you need to be creating challenges where there are none or sweating the small stuff. Keeping things real and authentic means taking responsibility when you need to, but letting things go when there is nothing to be accomplished.

Scorpio

A strong sense of romantic nostalgia in the air today will either hinder or help what is an important time on the relationship front. With your rose coloured glasses on, especially when it comes to the past, this may make it hard to keep it real in the way your relationships require, but it just might provide some of the magic that’s been missing.

Sagittarius

In a rare show of the cosmic mechanics in motion Venus, planet of love moves across the face of the Sun to form an extremely rare Venus eclipse in your relationship sector today. From out of the glare of the Sun’s light, where she’s been invisible for several weeks, Venus steps into the brightest stage lighting in the solar system to reveal how you really feel.

Capricorn

With Jupiter just 6 days away from leaving your romantic sector he’s performing his swan song, doing all that he can to encourage you to believe in love and to the concept of romance. It is less about where things stand now or the amount of romance in your life now and more about what you expect and are willing to work towards.

Aquarius

Just 6 days before Jupiter, planet of luck is due to reach your romantic sector and kick off your luckiest year for love since 2000, Venus crosses the face of the Sun to form a very rare Venus eclipse here today. This is the ultimate eclipse of the heart, making it impossible to ignore or suppress how you really feel.

Pisces

With Mercury less than 48 hours from your romantic sector Mars, on his own in your relationship sector and the only planet directing things on the personal front so far this year, is about to get some competition. At the moment it is all about your relationships but that’s about to change, with a need to get as much of a head start as possible.

Daily Cosmic Calendar for Wednesday, June 6

Hopefully, your feet are still touching the ground after the last two days of celestial fireworks. This is a good point in this Cosmic Calendar to remind you that solar and planetary alignments don’t simply disappear in one day. Therefore, the Full Moon, Neptune station and Venus-Mars square of this past Monday, and the Sun-Venus-Earth line-up as well as strong Ceres aspects from yesterday are still reverberating in the psychic atmosphere. Think of all these aspects as being present, but gradually dissipating in influence. Meanwhile, now on center stage you need to tune into another wave of love-enhancing and creativity-promoting Sun-Venus energy-dynamics as these two celestial bodies form a parallel (3:23AM PDT). This parallel – where the Sun and Venus are both located at 23+ degrees north of the Celestial Equator – is similar to a conjunction in the zodiac. In many ways, this alliance of the Sun and Venus is simply a bold continuation of their merger yesterday. Strive to increase the value of your investments since the Sun makes a subtle and yet still significant, 30-degree rapport with Vesta (9:04AM PDT). Communications, literary and educational endeavors receive a boost nearly six hours later when Mercury makes a similar link to Jupiter (3:02PM PDT). A great time-period this evening – for problem-solving, strategy sessions and conducting fine-tuned research – is 9:26PM PDT when the Sun makes an inspirational, 72-degree tie to Pallas. Be prepared for another cosmic onslaught arriving tomorrow when the Sun squares off with the red planet Mars. This 90-degree, abrasive interaction has been building up in power for the last few days – behind the scenes – and it finally comes into manifestation on Thursday.

Current Moon Phase for June 6th – Full Moon

Moon Phases: Full Moon

(waning/180-135 degrees)

by Jan Spiller

A veil of self-absorption is lifted and suddenly you gain access to an unbiased view of others. This is a rare moment when you can see yourself objectively and become aware of whether or not what you want in your heart is actually beginning to manifest in your life. Traditionally, the Full Moon phase stirs emotion, and this is because when you “see” what is happening, you may become upset if you’re experiencing the “same ole, same ole” — rather than the things you would like. If the Full Moon phase is a disappointment, on the next New Moon it’s time to take creative action in the direction of your dreams.

Your Daily General Horoscopes for June 5

Aries

In almost every aspect of your life all your cards are on the table and it’s more a matter of how to play that hand you’ve been dealt. This is where hindsight and the use of your imagination comes in, for if you’re able to not only learn from the past but appreciate that perception is a cloudy filter at best, then you’re able to look at things from a different perspective. Take some trial and error approaches to see how a different take on the past works for you.

Taurus

With powerful lunar eclipse energy in your financial sector still in effect money matters are likely to loom large today, but it’s important that you put equal weight on all the currencies in your life. With Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion leaving your sign in just 7 days time and not due to return until 2023, look past financial matters or barriers to what you really want and need from the future.

Gemini

With lunar eclipse energy still in the air and the Moon only just beginning to ease back from its Full Moon status, there is still a lot of strong relationship energy in the air and some truths that can be tapped into. A Full Moon will also come with some pressure for it sees the Moon put direct pressure on the Sun and today that pressure extends to Venus, planet of love, just a day before a very rare Venus eclipse is destined to bring matters of the heart to a head.

Cancer

With the Moon staying on in your work sector after yesterday’s solar eclipse, you have a chance to work with slowly defusing emotional responses and over the top messages or wake up calls, to better understand the forces driving things on the work front. Yet as much as this may have delivered the answers or insight you need right now, it’s important to remember that the road to success is always under construction.

Leo

Having a lunar eclipse in a romantic and creative part of your chart is good news, but can create complications for Jupiter, who is spending his last full week in your career sector. As much as you need to be on the ball professionally, by lightening up and buying into the playful lunar vibes still in play today, you’ll have a chance to touch base with your creative passions and to bring some fun into your professional game. If you’re following your heart, success will always find you.

Virgo

During the Sun’s month long visit to your career sector he will always be challenged at some point by a Full Moon in your home and family sector, creating some work/life balance tensions but also the tools and resources to create the right balance. With Full Moon energy still in play after yesterday’s lunar eclipse and especially as this professional wave won’t die down anytime soon, heed any wake up calls being delivered.

Libra

Just days before Mercury is due to return to your career sector, kicking off a new round of professional activity and opening new doors, Neptune turns retrograde in your work sector. This gives you a chance to pull back and through your imagination, to look back at where you’ve been. While Neptune will remain in retrograde motion for several months and an intuitive sense of hindsight will remain, there will soon be distractions.

Scorpio

While the Moon is still in your income sector after yesterday’s lunar eclipse, hold onto the nose for money and the chance this is giving you to bring things up to speed on the income front. You’re about to move into some extraordinary days on the financial front and despite any recent financial pressure or intensity, things are falling into place. Before the focus shifts back to your financial game as a whole, make income matters a priority today.

Sagittarius

Yesterday’s lunar eclipse not only brought you to a rather dramatic turning point in your solar year, creating a clear line in the sand at the halfway mark, it provided some clear wake up calls and a call for both personal and relationship authenticity. As the Sun and Moon move out off opposition, but the Sun remains in your relationship sector and the Moon remains in your sign, there is a chance to look behind any messages or strong reactions.

Capricorn

Your biggest challenge now is holding onto a balance between work and play, for if you can’t pull it off now you’re going to have a lot more trouble in the coming weeks and months. Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion is just a week away from leaving a romantic and playful part of your chart and not only leaving it empty, but joining the work forces that he’s now battling against. Do what you can now to follow your heart, creating habits that will future proof your life.

Aquarius

Just as Mars is moving into his final month in your financial sector, Neptune turns retrograde in your income sector and with Chiron turning retrograde here in a week from today; this spells the end of any danger of the financial pressures of the past returning. Mars and his financial agenda is now playing a completely separate game to forces here on the income front. As a sense of hindsight kicks in it will reveal a trail of breadcrumbs.

Pisces

With the Moon still in your career sector after coming to a head as a lunar eclipse, your professional instincts are able to pick up on the strong professional forces this unleased, but also on any work/life balance issues this created. You’ve moved into a powerful and important week on the home and family front and with new doors opening on the work front in just a few weeks time, this gives you a chance to address and resolve any balance issues now.

Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for June 5

Aries

Until now the only planet to directly support Saturn, in his final weeks in retrograde motion in your relationship sector, has been Venus, planet of love, also in retrograde motion and also focused on the past. But with Mercury involved you’re starting to feel the first signs that it’s time to get ready to move on.

Taurus

While the Moon put a lot of focus on your relationships over the last few days Mars, planet of passion is more than ready to draw it back to your romantic situation. Now just under a month away from leaving your romantic sector Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos is challenging your excuses and daring you to leave no room for regrets.

Gemini

While yesterday’s lunar eclipse in your relationship sector may have taken you off guard, with the Moon only returning on the same day, he’s staying on to help with the aftermath. It’s where things came to a head that you’re now able to make sense of what lies behind strong emotional actions or any strong messages this delivered.

Cancer

An important few days on the work front may see your personal life put on hold, but as this is temporary you can afford to issue some rainchecks. What you won’t get away with is permanently ignoring your relationships or your personal life, with a chance now to learn from past mistakes.

Leo

Because the Moon only returned to your romantic sector yesterday, giving very little lead in time ahead of yesterday’s lunar eclipse, this has bought you extra time on the other side. The Moon is staying on in your romantic sector and as the intensity drops back you’re able to get a better read on what your heart and any emotional responses are telling you.

Virgo

As Neptune turns retrograde in your relationship sector today he turns his attention and your imagination back onto the past and the road behind. Unlike his short visit last year when this same retrograde turn took him back out, this time he’ll finish what he started. This gives you a chance to take a trip down memory lane and to revisit some old ghosts.

Libra

Even in ordinary times having the communication lines open on the relationship front is a must, but these are not ordinary times and neither is the support you have in order to connect. Where yesterday’s lunar eclipse in your communication sector got the ball rolling you have a chance today to continue, keeping all your communications honest, real and authentic.

Scorpio

Just a week before Jupiter is due to leave your relationship sector Neptune turns retrograde in your romantic sector, pulling back in order to let your relationships go first. This is not a concession but simply Neptune realising that you have months to tap into the romantic nostalgia he’s evoking, but just 7 days to get your relationships up to speed.

Sagittarius

Where yesterday’s lunar eclipse in your sign put direct pressure on the Sun in your relationship sector, today it’s Venus, planet of love that the Moon is providing with some wake up calls. This comes just as you’re about to move into some super important days on the relationship front, when you can least afford to be asleep at the wheel.

Capricorn

Just a week to the day before Jupiter not only leaves your romantic sector and wraps up his own 12 month visit but all the planetary activity for the year, dreamy Neptune turns retrograde in your communication sector. This gives you a chance to look back through rose coloured glasses and to give unsaid words a voice.

Aquarius

In the lead up to a very rare Venus eclipse in your romantic sector today the Moon is putting pressure on the planet of love, yet despite any buttons this might push this is simply a much needed wake up call, when it’s most needed. With some stunning developments on the romantic front, some timely reality checks won’t go astray.

Pisces

You’ve reached a pivotal point on the relationship front where you can either look back at the challenges of the past and wallow in them or you can move on, learning from the past but refusing to be defined or held back from the past. A lot of water has passed under the bridge, leaving you with a clear sense of what you’re fighting for or against.

Calendar of the Moon for June 5

4 Huath/Thargelion

Arianrhod’s Day

Color: Silver
Elements: Air and water
Altar: Upon a white and silver cloth lay several silver moons, in order from new crescent to full to old moon, four white candles, and incense of myrrh.
Offerings: Clean something white.
Daily Meal: Cool white food.

Invocation to Arianrhod

Silver Wheel that spins in the sky,
Keeper of the Spiral Tower,
Keeper of deep mysteries,
Unforgiving moon that stares down
Upon our hapless dreams,
Lover of the ocean and its spirits,
Lover of the sky and its spirits,
Lady of the night horizon,
The point where starry sky touches starry sea,
We call you forth upon this day
To ask for your blessing on us,
As you blessed your son Llew Llaw Gyffes.
And even as that blessing was not easy
In forthcoming, we know that you will not
Give out your benedictions at our will.
So this we say, Lady: We have worked,
And willed, and created a dream
And made it reality, and here we stand together,
And if that is not worth something to the world,
Then nothing is. Arm us well, Lady of the Silver Wheel,
With weapons sharp and keen,
Tongue and mind of steel that yet yields
To the spear of Truth that strikes.
Bless each name that we have taken,
As you gave your son his name,
And bless us with divine inspiration
That we might bring more beauty
To the world and all its beings.

Chant:
Light up the night
Light up the night
Bring your dreams into the circle

Your Weekly General Horoscopes for June 4

Aries

A pair of eclipses will add a lot of intensity to the week, especially as they fall on opposite sides of the sky and therefore in opposition. The week begins with Monday’s lunar eclipse in an adventurous part of your chart, which is likely to evoke a sense of wanderlust and a severe case of Mondayitis, as well as challenging your excuses. However, it’s the much rarer Venus eclipse on Wednesday that brings heart and reality together, in an area of your chart where you’re most able to find your voice. It is words or ideas that you’ve been suppressing that will suddenly find their time. In all matters it’s communication that dominates this week, leading the way into a new era of connecting. Eclipse energy might stir things up and get the ball rolling, but it’s up to you to run with this.

Taurus

With a lunar eclipse in your financial sector on Monday and a much rarer Venus eclipse in your income sector on Wednesday will see money matters dominate. Monday’s lunar eclipse is likely to bring things on both the income and financial fronts to a head, while Wednesday’s Venus eclipse is likely to act as a trigger or a catalyst, just 6 days before lucky Jupiter is due to reach your income sector. Yet while money matters are likely to dominate this is not the only show in town, with Jupiter’s last week in your sign all about taking ownership of the future and making sure that in all aspects of your life that you’re on the path you want to continue on. With the door open to second chances on the income and work fronts and your romantic and creative passions returning, anything is possible.

Gemini

At some point during your birthday month you’ll be confronted by a Full Moon that challenges your intentions for your new solar year and provides the wakeup call that makes sure you’re not asleep at the wheel, moving into your new solar year on autopilot. That Full Moon falls on Monday, except instead of an ordinary Full Moon this is a lunar eclipse, with the messages it brings much louder and harder to ignore. This is just 2 days before Wednesday’s much rarer Venus eclipse, which sees Venus literally traverse across the Sun and the nearly 7 hours this will take your heart’s desires and your realities, as well as the past and future will all come together. With the Sun in direct and Venus in retrograde motion, all of a sudden you’re able to see where you’ve been and where you’re going.

Cancer

Just as your professional year should be slowing down, things heat up again with a lunar eclipse in your work sector on Monday. With the Moon not even returning to your work sector until the day of the eclipse, this might catch you off guard, with a need to move into the new week with an open mind, especially when it comes to work matters. The Moon will remain in your work sector until Wednesday, giving you time to work with whatever Monday’s eclipse triggers. It’s on Thursday that Mercury’s return to your sign brings the first direct planetary support you’ve had since September 2011, as well as bringing you to your smartest and most intellectually savvy point in the year. This gives you a chance to break through the nostalgia and reflective web that you’ve been enveloped in.

Leo

There is something magical in the air this week and it comes just as Jupiter is spending his last week in your career sector and when you most need to remain plugged in professionally. Yet a pair of eclipses, one in your romantic sector and the other in a social and serendipitous part of your chart won’t let you get away with life becoming all work and no play. A week of intense eclipse energy kicks off with a lunar eclipse in your romantic sector on Monday, bringing things on the personal, romantic and creative fronts to a head or to a turning or tipping point. It’s during Wednesday’s much rarer Venus eclipse that the laws of attraction and synchronicity come together, as well as the past, future and present. During both eclipses there’s a need to take your hands off the wheel.

Virgo

The week is being dominated by a pair of eclipses, something incredibly rare as a lunar and solar eclipse will always fall 2 weeks apart. You’ll get two this week because while Monday’s eclipse is a lunar eclipse, Wednesday’s eclipse is a much rarer Venus eclipse. Falling on opposite sides of the sky and with opposite agendas, this may create some complications and some work/life balance pressure. For while Monday’s lunar eclipse falls in your home and family sector, Wednesday’s Venus eclipse falls in your career sector and it puts forces on both fronts into conflict. Yet with Jupiter returning to your career sector next week finding that balance is a must, for while your professional star is on the rise, it doesn’t require the sacrifices or the all or nothing approach of the past.

Libra

Your week kicks off with a lunar eclipse in your communication sector, taking what an ordinary Full Moon will do in terms of giving you a chance to clear the air and express yourself, to a whole new level. This comes just 2 days before Wednesday’s much rarer Venus eclipse with Venus, planet of desire and your ruling planet moving across the face of the Sun, in your sector of travel, adventure, learning and discovery. This will put all your desires and realities on the same page, just 6 days before Jupiter, planet of luck is due to return to kick off your most adventurous and expansive 12 months in over a decade. Life is waking you up to what you’ve been missing out on and how bold, rich and colourful it can be. All of a sudden simply going through the motions is no longer enough.

Scorpio

Having two eclipses in one week is something unheard of, for a lunar and solar eclipse can’t fall any more nor less than 2 weeks apart and even more so when these two eclipses fall in your 2 money houses. This is putting a lot of focus on your money game this week and with so much eclipse energy, is likely to bring things to a turning or tipping point. The week begins with a lunar eclipse in your income sector, which has the power to trigger anything building or pending and can often unblock and get things moving. It’s Wednesday’s much rarer Venus eclipse in your financial sector that brings things to a major tipping point, just 6 days before Jupiter’s return kicks off your luckiest and most expansive financial year in over a decade. At the same time this is a pivotal relationship week.

Sagittarius

The halfway point of your solar year is always marked by a Full Moon in your sign, which puts the Sun on the opposite side of the sky and at the halfway point from your last solar return and your next. With the Sun and Moon in opposition this brings the wake up calls required to ensure that you’re on track and a reminder of the intentions you moved into this current solar year with. That Full Moon falls on Monday, but goes one step further to form the first lunar eclipse in 2012, with the wake up calls much louder and clearer. They have to be, for they’re not only competing with a lot of relationship focus, but a much rarer Venus eclipse in your relationship sector on Wednesday. With lucky Jupiter reaching your relationship sector next week, things reach an early tipping point.

Capricorn

The 2 eclipses likely to dominate things this week are not only on opposite sides of the sky but on opposite sides of the spectrum, in terms of the influence. The week begins with Monday’s lunar eclipse in an intuitive, reflective and internally focused area of your chart, taking the Full Moon that will always fall here during the Sun’s month long visit to your work sector to a whole new level. This is a lunar eclipse that asks you to pull back, to question a lot of your beliefs and to stop what you’re doing, step back and take time to hear yourself think. This is in complete contrast to Wednesday’s much rarer Venus eclipse, which falls in your work sector. This will bring a new level of clarity on the work front, giving you a new sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going.

Aquarius

You are experiencing the ultimate of ironies this week. After no planetary activity in either of your professional houses since last November, Mercury’s return to your work sector on Thursday will kick off the first professional planetary activity in 2012. However this comes in a week where a pair of very magical eclipses will draw your attention and focus to anything but your job. The week kicks off with a lunar eclipse in a social and serendipitous part of your chart and while a lunar eclipse will always bring the element of fate into play, this one will also unleash the laws of synchronicity. Wednesday’s much rarer Venus eclipse falls in your romantic and creative sector, just 6 days before Jupiter kicks off your luckiest year for love and for all things heart related.

Pisces

Experiencing 2 eclipses in one week is not something that you’ll see every day if at all, yet that’s what you have and it’s the fact that they fall on opposite sides of the sky that will keep you on your toes. The week kicks off with a lunar eclipse in your career sector, bringing forces or matters that have been building behind the scenes to a head or to a turning or tipping point. With Mercury returning to your work sector 3 weeks later, this will give your professional game a much needed shot in the arm. Yet just 2 days later a much rarer Venus eclipse will fall in your home and family sector, bringing the focus back to matters on the home front. Even Monday’s lunar eclipse will put direct pressure on the Sun here, bringing any work/life matters to a head, where they can be resolved.

Your Daily Horoscopes for Monday, June 4

Aries

Today’s Full Moon is a lunar eclipse, with deep links to a force that has been trying to get to the surface for too long now and finally finds a crack in your resistance. It’s a sense of adventure that interlaced with today’s moonbeams will soak into your pores and into your very being, making it hard to hide behind your excuses. Whether it’s a sense of wanderlust or curiosity that has you in its grasp, dare to follow where it takes you.

Taurus

It was 2 weeks ago to the day that the Sun and Moon not only returned to your income sector but aligned to form a solar eclipse and now the tables have turned, with a lunar eclipse in your financial sector. This time, instead of the Sun and Moon aligned they’re in opposition, bringing forces on the income and financial fronts to a head and into conflict. As a super charged Full Moon, this has the power to bring financial matters to a tipping or turning point.

Gemini

Today’s lunar eclipse in your relationship sector is the last before the North Node leaves in August and therefore the last in a series of eclipses here to help point things in the right direction or put things on the right path. As a super charged Full Moon, with deep links to forces that have been building on the relationship front, behind the scenes, this is more the tip of an iceberg, giving you insight into what’s happening beneath the surface and behind the scenes.

Cancer

It was nearly 4 weeks ago that an active and defining 3 professional months ran their course, but the Moon’s return to your work sector today and the lunar eclipse this creates is throwing one final wildcard on the table. Until now there is likely to have been a sense that a piece of the puzzle was missing, but as it’s played today and things come to a head everything is now on the table. This could bring things on the work front to a tipping or turning point.

Leo

Just as you’re fighting to find the right balance between work and play today’s Full Moon is likely to influence which way the scales tilt, even if it is just temporarily. No ordinary Full Moon but instead a lunar eclipse in a romantic, playful and creative part of your chart, this will unleash strong and previously suppressed feelings, giving you a clear sense of what you want and need. This makes listening to your heart a must today.

Virgo

Just when you’re ready to fly professionally, today’s lunar eclipse in your home and family sector brings a reminder of the need for the right work/life balance. Just 2 weeks ago the Moon aligned with the Sun just after returning to your career sector, forming a solar eclipse that opened some major new doors. Now the Moon is directly challenging the Sun, making sure your home and professional lives are evenly balanced.

Libra

A Full Moon in your communication sector will always bring an interesting mix of intuition and logic, imagination and intelligence together in a smart, intellectually savvy and articulate part of your chart, creating just enough pressure to push through your excuses. Today’s Full Moon is a little stronger as it’s a lunar eclipse, creating a chance to clear the air and get unsaid words off your chest.

Scorpio

At a time when there is a lot of focus on your financial situation as a whole, the Moon’s return to your income sector and the lunar eclipse this creates brings a chance to put things into perspective. While this puts the Sun and Moon in opposition and may create some financial pressure, it’s also likely to create a breakthrough on the income front and provide some timely financial wake up calls. The money gods are making sure you’re not asleep at the wheel.

Sagittarius

The halfway point in every solar year is marked by a Full Moon in your relationship sector, which puts the Moon in your sign and the Sun on the other side of the sky and halfway through your 12 month solar year. That point is reached today, but for the second year in a row it’s not marked by a Full Moon, but by a lunar eclipse, bringing much louder and stronger wake up calls. No matter what buttons are being pushed, it’s because too much is on offer to remain on autopilot.

Capricorn

Today’s Full Moon is packing a little more punch than is usually the case, due to the fact that this is not only a lunar eclipse, but the second lunar eclipse in an intuitive part of your chart in as many years. This is a Full Moon that works from within, stirring up strong emotional and intuitive responses that can bring unexpected shifts in perception. As the truth dawns this may challenge previous perceptions, but a truth once heard can’t be ignored.

Aquarius

There is a powerful mix of fate and synchronicity in the air today as today’s Full Moon, a powerful Wishing Moon, morphs into a lunar eclipse. Falling in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, that rules your hopes and wishes, this lunar eclipse will provide an outlet or a trigger for forces that have been building behind the scenes. While the chances are high for some serendipitous moments or encounters today, they shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise.

Pisces

Just 3 weeks before new doors are due to open on the work front, the Moon not only returns to your career sector today but becomes first a Full Moon and then a lunar eclipse. This is likely to see everything that has been building on the career front since late last year and behind the scenes since then come to a head and as the last lunar eclipse here for several years, will bring things to a turning or tipping point.

Your Pet’s Weekly Horoscopes for June 4

Aries

If one eclipse can play havoc with my nerves, then 2 in one week is really going to drive me nuts, especially as they are sending conflicting signals. It’s when I feel a little out of control and I can’t understand what I’m feeling, that I gain a sense of security and safety from everything around me remaining the same. It’s routine and all things predictable that will save my sanity this week.

Taurus

Strong forces in the air this week are unlikely to rattle me, which is surprising as I’m usually quite prone to the effect that eclipses have on me. This time around this is going to infuse me with a new sense of confidence and see a desire for change fill me with a sense of entitlement. Expect me to turn into a bit of a diva this week, wanting my own way and very sure about what I do and don’t like.

Gemini

My birthday month reaches a critical point this week, where I’m being influenced by forces that make me feel threatened and by those that fill me with confidence and a clear sense of what I do and don’t like. One minute I seem fragile and in need of reassurance and the next I’ll be ready to take on the world. They don’t call me the sign of the Twins for nothing, with both sides of my personality coming out this week.

Cancer

Don’t be surprised if Monday’s lunar eclipse inspires a burst of activity from me, especially as until then you may be worried that I’m becoming a little too lazy and a little too fond of dozing and my all day naps. If you want to encourage me to move more and get active, then the early days of the week are the best, when you’re more likely to catch me in the right frame of mind. By mid week I’ll be wondering what came over me.

Leo

A sense of playfulness and a desire to exercise my social butterfly wings becomes unplugged this week, moving to extremes. I’m in such a need for fun that you might even find me howling at the Moon, especially during Monday’s lunar eclipse in a fun and playful part of my chart. An even rarer Venus eclipse in a social part of my chart will have me just as eager to be the centre of attention.

Virgo

Any week that has 2 eclipses is going to rattle me, as it will all pets and even you humans, but I’ll cope best if I have some predictability and balance. Chances are this will turn me into a bit of a home body, feeling best when I’m surrounded by all things familiar. Yet by midweek I’m likely to find my inner confidence, doing a complete flip flop and demanding my independence.

Libra

I’ve been under the spell of a sense of adventure and wanderlust for some time, but this week the voice in my head just won’t keep quiet, telling me to just ‘go for it’. While I’m normally well behaved and enjoy having rules and boundaries and enjoy even more the ‘atta girls’ or ‘atta boys’ I get when I abide by them, my inner gypsy is just too strong to be ignored.

Scorpio

If you’re looking to introduce change into my life, then strike while the iron is hot this week. I’m not only more open to change this week but actually want you to bring it on, but I’m going to have a boost in confidence to help me cope with getting what I wish for. For while I want change it’s just as scary for me as it is for you, with an extra dose of confidence a useful panacea.

Sagittarius

I’m so ready to stand up for myself this week, saying ‘no’ when you try and tell me what I should do or to get what I want when you try and stop me, that I’m likely to do just that whether you do or not. Even when you’re not trying to be the boss of me I’ll be standing up and telling you that you can’t. So yes, I am going to get a little loopy this week, but I blame it on all the eclipse energy in the air.

Capricorn

You may start to wonder if my missing twin has all of a sudden showed up from out of the blue and that at times we’re switching places, just to play with you. For while there will be two sides to me this week, they are so extreme and are likely to flip flop so much, that you may be left wondering which is the real me. At times you’ll get the action me, running around like an Eveready Bunny, while at other times you’ll get the sloth.

Aquarius

Whether I’m normally shy and hesitant when there are strangers around or not, my social butterfly wings will be getting a full work out this week. There is a sense of fun in the air this week that I’ll want to tap into, so much so that I’ll be afraid of missing out on anything, showing up just in case. This is being spurred on by a lunar eclipse in a social part of my sign on Monday, which will help me to come out of my shell.

Pisces

Pets and animals as a whole have a sixth sense, relying on and trusting our instincts, which has served us well for thousands of years and works well for me now, knowing how to wrap you around my little finger. Us Piscean pets are even more sensitive, but the downside is that I pick up on everything and with two eclipses this week my senses will be going haywire. This may play havoc with my nerves, but keeping things as routine as possible is all the panacea I need.

Your Weekly Career Horoscopes for June 4

Aries

The Moon’s visit to your career sector from Wednesday to Friday will not only sharpen your professional instincts and give you a chance to get your bearings on career matters and situations it will have a big impact on things on the income and work fronts. The Moon returns to your career sector on the same day that Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos moves into his last 4 weeks of his 8 month visit to your work sector and just when you’re ready to put everything you have into everything you do. This will give you the insight to pick your battles wisely, making it important to have your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground. This is the Moon’s last visit to your career sector before Jupiter leaves your income sector next Tuesday, giving you an intuitive sense of where the money is.

Taurus

You reach two important road markers on the work front this week, just as you’re moving into one very powerful and auspicious week on the income front. With Jupiter, planet of luck returning to your income sector next week, you’re on the doorstep of some very auspicious times on the income front and it seems you’ll have the professional clout to back it up. It’s on Monday that Saturn reaches a point where he’s just 3 weeks away from turning direct in your work sector, while on the same day Mars reaches a point where he’s just a month to the day away from arriving. This sets the scene for a massive turnaround on the work front early next month, which income forces are already lining up for. Use the chance you have now, while the doors to the past are still open, to work behind the scenes.

Gemini

After the Moon spent the weekend in your work sector you’re able to move into the new week with your finger on the pulse, your ear to the ground and your instincts sharp. Monday is when your instincts will be the sharpest and it’s also the day when Neptune will be spending his last full day in direct motion in your career sector, before turning retrograde on Tuesday. Still in direct motion but at a standstill, but not yet in retrograde motion so not yet able to retrace your steps, Monday provides an opportunity to simply stay in the moment and with the Moon having just left your work sector, you’ll have your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground. It’s from Thursday that you’ll have a chance to focus more on where the money is, with a smart head for money kicking in.

Cancer

Your week begins with a lunar eclipse in your work sector, which may take you by surprise considering the Moon only returns on Monday, the day of the lunar eclipse. It’s where things have been building behind the scenes, either on or off your radar, that eclipse energy has the power to bring things to a head or to a turning or tipping point. Even though the day might pass uneventfully, you’ll eventually look back at this time and recognise it for the turning point it actually is. With the Moon not returning to your work sector until Monday that means it will stay on until Wednesday, giving you a further 2 days to digest any strong messages and insights. As with all eclipses it’s important to get out of the way and let what is meant to be, be.

Leo

This is your last week to give your professional year as much of a push as possible but chances are, if you’ve been working with the stars over recent months there might not be much left in the tank, in which case it’s more about tying up loose ends. For this is Jupiter, planet of luck’s last full week in your career sector and when he leaves next Tuesday, he won’t return until 2023 and with no planetary activity here at all until April 2013, things will ease right back. It’s the Moon’s visit to your work sector from Wednesday to Friday that gives you a chance to touch bases with Pluto and forces on the work front, for from next week this is what will keep your professional game on track. This week is all about tying up loose ends and putting them on the path you want them to continue on.

Virgo

This week is being dominated by a pair of eclipses, both having an impact on your professional game but in very, very different ways. The week begins with Monday’s lunar eclipse putting direct pressure on the Sun in your career sector, bringing any work/life balance issues to a head. But considering what’s coming, this gives you a chance to tweak things before things really start to move. It is Wednesday’s eclipse that will have the biggest direct impact on your professional game, for this is a rare Venus eclipse in your career sector, not to be repeated in your lifetime. With Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion returning to your career sector next week Wednesday’s eclipse will get things moving ahead of time. This will bring both your professional desires and realities to a head.

Libra

This is one week when a one size fits all approach won’t suit, for there is a divergence taking place that will see things on the work and career fronts go in different directions. You’ve had no planetary activity in your career sector since September 2011, so as you move into the new week the focus is as it has been all year, on matters on the work front. But Neptune’s retrograde turn in your work sector on Tuesday will almost see work forces drop back, making room for new doors to open on the career front. For just 2 days after Neptune turns retrograde in your work sector, giving you a chance to work behind the scenes, Mercury returns to your career sector. Mercury’s return on Thursday unlocks the door to new opportunities and the 3 most important career months of the year.

Scorpio

The closer you get to Mercury’s return to your career sector on the 26th June, which is a lot closer than it sounds and is in just 3 weeks from Tuesday, the closer you get to the next professional surge. It wasn’t even a month ago that an active 3 months on the work front ran its course and with the next surge on the horizon, what you really need is a chance to work behind the scenes and with the cards already on the table. While work pressures won’t peak until later in the month, just days before Mercury is due to reach your career sector, it will begin building this week. Refuse to see this as a sign that you can’t afford to rest on your laurels, though use it to remain on your toes. A lunar eclipse in your income sector on Monday should bring some interesting developments into play.

Sagittarius

With Jupiter, planet of luck spending his last full week in your work sector and Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos reaching a point on Monday where there’s just a month left before he leaves your career sector, each will be fighting for your attention and for rights to make their agenda the more urgent one. Yet with Jupiter in your work sector since last June and Mars in your career sector since last November most of your cards will already be on the table. It’s on the work front that there is more urgency, for once Jupiter leaves next Tuesday he won’t be back until 2023 and there’ll be no planetary activity here of any kind until April 2013. The Moon’s visit to your career sector from Wednesday to Friday will sharpen your professional instincts and provide some valuable and timely clues.

Capricorn

Saturn reaches a point on Monday where he’s just 3 weeks away from turning direct in your career sector and moving into his final weeks in retrograde motion he’s slowing right down and with Venus not turning direct in your work sector until 3 weeks from Thursday, this should be slowing things down across the professional spectrum. However, while the door will remain open to second chances on both the work and career fronts, the Sun and Mercury are making sure that this is not at the expense of any forward momentum. Things come to a head in a spectacular way mid week when Venus literally runs across the Sun. This creates a rare Venus eclipse which falls on Mercury’s last full day in your work sector, with the power to bring things to a turning or tipping point.

Aquarius

Since the Sun left your career sector last November you’ve had no planetary activity in either of your professional houses, with only the Moon’s monthly visits to your work and career sectors to keep things on track. That all changes this week with Mercury’s return to your work sector on Thursday, with this intellectually savvy planet arriving with the keys to unlock the doors to the first professional planetary activity for the year and to 3 of the most important months on the work front. This is the first planetary activity in your work sector since September 2011 and while things may be a bit rusty, the Moon’s visit to your career sector over the weekend will help you move into the new week with your professional instincts sharp, your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground.

Pisces

Your working week gets off to a bang, with a lunar eclipse in your career sector bringing things to what might appear to be an unexpected head, turning or tipping point. Chances are if you look back you’ll have see there were signs. The Moon only returns to your career sector on Monday, the same day as the eclipse, so this might catch you off guard, but staying on until Wednesday this gives you time on the other side to get your head around anything this triggers. This is the last lunar eclipse in your career sector before the North Node, the trigger for this eclipse, leaves in August so will be a last push to get things out in the open. With Mercury returning to your work sector on the 26th June, whatever this lunar eclipse triggers will have plenty of resources to keep in motion.

Your Weekly Financial Horoscopes for June 4

Aries

Chances are you’re coming out of a weekend that saw some buttons pushed and financial tension come to a head or at least that’s what the Moon would have been hoping for. For as you move into the new week the Moon is leaving your financial sector, having spent the weekend sharpening your financial instincts but also putting pressure on Jupiter, over in your income sector. Yet while this may have pushed some buttons it was timely and necessary, for this is Jupiter’s last full week in your income sector for another 11 years and the one week where you can’t afford to be asleep at the wheel. It’s what you’re willing to invest into your income situation, either in terms of expectations committed to or concrete steps taken, that will define your experiences for weeks, months and years to come.

Taurus

Despite the fact that Jupiter won’t return to your income sector until next Tuesday, kicking off your luckiest and most expansive 12 months on the income front in 12 years, it seems that the money gods are impatient, for they’re all turning up this week. It’s a pair of eclipses within 48 hours of each other that is set to send seismic shockwaves through your money game, with potentially game changing results. It starts with a lunar eclipse in your financial sector on Monday, bringing things on the financial front to a head or to a turning or tipping point. But the real show stopper is a rare Venus eclipse in your income sector on Tuesday, revealing what you want, need and expect to a point that there’ll be no going back. When your luck turns you’ll be more than ready.

Gemini

Until now all your focus has been on your financial situation as a whole, with your income situation barely getting a look in from the money gods, with only the Moon’s monthly visits keeping things on track. That all changes this week with the arrival of Mercury, planet of communication and smart thinking and your ruling planet into your income sector on Thursday. While Mercury will only spend 19 days here, leaving later in the month, the smart head for money this gives will help kick off the 3 most lucrative months of 2012. Don’t expect this to be all plain sailing, for this will put Mercury in competition and opposition to Pluto in your financial sector. While this may push some buttons over the next few weeks, it will keep you on your toes and force you to pay attention.

Cancer

The closer you get to Mercury’s return to your income sector on the 26th June the more you’re going to sense that turnaround ahead. Yet it’s when something is so close that you can smell and sense it that frustration can set in as well as anxiety, as your inner voices starts to ask ‘what if you’re wrong’? The reality is that you’re not, with the 3 most lucrative income months of the year kicking off in just 3 weeks from Tuesday and this year there are no roadblocks or unchartered pitfalls. This makes it important to pay attention and work with the lunar eclipse in your work sector on Monday, for it will help point things on the work front in their most authentic direction. If you’re on the right professional path when new doors open on the income front, nothing can slow you down.

Leo

It was only a few weeks ago that the last opposition between forces on the income and financial fronts played out, but already their different agendas are not just operating independently, the dynamics on both fronts is changing dramatically. With Mars due to leave your income sector on the 4th July there is a new sense of urgency setting in, especially with Jupiter also spending his last full week in your career sector. With Mars speeding up, things are not only more likely to be moving quickly on the income front, your fighting spirit is reinvigorated. Yet with Neptune turning retrograde in your financial sector on Tuesday and Chiron slowing down ahead of his retrograde turn a week later, on the financial front as a whole you’re able to pull back and work behind the scenes.

Virgo

As you move into the new week you reach 2 important milestones on the same day, both destined to have big implications on your income reality over the coming months. It’s on Monday that Saturn reaches a point where he’s just 3 weeks away from turning direct in your income sector, which is when the tide will turn. However, it’s on Monday that Mars also passes an important road marker, one that puts him a month to the day away from joining Saturn in your income sector, for the last time for another 30 years. Mars is the muscle that will bring things home and due to return just 9 days after Saturn turns direct, when the tide turns it will really turn. These final weeks are about learning from the past while working to bring powerful career forces up to speed.

Libra

Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion’s last full week in your financial sector is all about making a commitment to the future and to both the financial expectations and concrete steps you’re able to take now, to both walk the talk and keep Jupiter’s spirit alive. For once Jupiter leaves your financial sector next Tuesday he won’t be back until 2023 and there’ll be no planetary activity here at all until April 2013. Yet Jupiter is still here and you still have luck on your side and just in case that wasn’t advantage enough, you’re moving into the new week with a nose for money, thanks to the Moon’s visit to your income sector over the weekend. You’ve also had some timely wake up calls, with any financial tension making sure you’re not asleep at the wheel.

Scorpio

You have not one but two eclipses in your two money houses this week, just 48 hours apart, something that is incredibly rare considering that a solar and lunar eclipse can’t fall closer than 2 weeks apart. The week kicks off with a lunar eclipse in your income sector on Monday, bringing anything pending or building behind the scenes, either on or off your radar to a head, fruition or to a turning or tipping point. It’s the Venus eclipse just 48 hours later that is in a very different category, for this is only the second but also the last in your lifetime. Falling just 6 days before Jupiter, planet of luck is due to return to your financial sector next Tuesday, Wednesday’s Venus eclipse will trigger some strong financial desires along with the laws of attraction.

Sagittarius

Pluto, planet of change and revolution has been enjoying the fact that he’s the only planet active in either of your money houses and that as well as having no challenges to face, he’s received nothing but support from forces on the work and career fronts. The only real danger that Pluto and your financial situation face is complacency. Two events take place this week that will ensure that won’t happen and while both may trigger some financial pressure and push some buttons, it’s more to make sure you’re not asleep at the wheel. Both events take place on Thursday, with Mercury’s return to your financial sector coinciding with pressure from Uranus, who is ready to shake things up. Yet with any financial tension comes a smart head for money and a chance to take your power back.

Capricorn

You reach an important road marker on Tuesday, one that puts Mercury just 3 weeks away from your financial sector. With most if not all of your income objectives already banked, it’s your financial situation as a whole that has lacked any support or interest at all from the money gods. With Mercury destined to spend 2 months instead of his usual 2 weeks and with no roadblocks to face, it won’t be long before you have a chance to take control of your financial situation and money matters. This makes procrastination a viable option this week, with nothing to be gained by jumping the gun. Instead, the Moon returns to your income sector on Friday and the nose for money this brings gives you a chance to redefine your income expectations, in light of some major professional developments.

Aquarius

Money matters are splitting into two distinct camps this week, with financial matters going one way and income matters the other. With Mars, the warrior planet of the cosmos due to leave your financial sector on the 4th July, as you move into the new week that’s just a month away, with a new sense of urgency setting in. Expect to feel a new fire in your belly, ready now to grab the tiger by the tail and tame it, once and for all. This puts the focus on the future and as things speed and hot up, a chance to really get things moving. On the income front the very opposite is happening, with Neptune’s retrograde turn in your income sector on Tuesday giving you a chance to pull back and reflect on where you’ve been, with Sunday the day when you’re most likely to have a strong nose for money.

Pisces

As you move into the new week you reach two important financial road markers, on the same day and they both offer a lot of hope and anticipation for what the future holds. For while Monday is the day that Saturn reaches a point where he’s just 3 weeks away from turning direct in your financial sector it’s also the day that Mars reaches a point where he’s just a month to the day away from arriving. With Mars due to return to your financial sector 9 days after Saturn turns direct, when the tide turns it is destined to be fairly dramatic and not the slow, drawn out affair that it usually is. This gives you the confidence to make the most of these final weeks where you have a chance to work behind the scenes, learning from where you’ve been and working to deal with whatever needs resolving.

Your Weekly Love & Romance Horoscopes for June 4

Aries

A pair of eclipses this week is bound to shake things up a bit, but it’s the Venus eclipse in your communication sector on Wednesday that will have the biggest impact. Already in retrograde motion and on a mission to give unsaid words a voice, Venus steps out of the shadows to make her voice one of the most powerful in the solar system. This comes just as Mercury, planet of communication is reaching out to Saturn, in retrograde motion in your relationship sector. With Venus and Saturn both turning direct later this month, Mercury is working to ensure that as well as having the communication lines running into the past, that they are operating well into the here and now and when it comes to moving on. This makes communication the key to everything this week, with authenticity a must.

Taurus

Having spent the weekend in your relationship sector that Moon allows you to move into the new week having had a chance to get your bearings, having come full circle from a Full Moon early last month. Having got that out of the way and having had a chance to address any relationship issues or to simply give your relationships some much needed attention, the focus shifts back to all things romantic. For on Monday it’s just a month to the day before Mars, planet of passion is due to leave your romantic sector, wrapping up an 8 month visit that began in November 2011, his longest visit here in 47 years. Now that you’re coming into the home straight it’s time to throw everything you can into your romantic passions, leaving no room for regret.

Gemini

A pair of eclipses is set to polarise things on both the romantic and relationship fronts this week, leaving you in no doubt how you really feel. The week kicks off with a lunar eclipse in your relationship sector that is set to bring things to a turning or tipping point and is followed up by a much rarer Venus eclipse on Wednesday. It’s in your sign that Venus will cross the face of the Sun to reveal in very clear and certain terms what your heart really feels and what you really want and need from love. It’s this pair of eclipses, just 48 hours apart, that will create vibrations that will send ripples out into the past and the future, creating a new level of authenticity on both the romantic and relationship fronts, while at the same time sending a clue for anything waiting in the wings.

Cancer

A sense of both romantic and relationship nostalgia is only going to intensify, but rather than fight it this is something that you need to embrace. Having spent the weekend in your romantic sector the Moon leaves in the early hours of the week, leaving behind clues to what the future might hold and what you might need to do now in order to start lining up for that future. With Venus not turning direct until later in the month and not returning to your sign until August, this gives you time to continue with a trip down love’s memory lane. Avoid a temptation to over think this, telling yourself that it’s time to move on. The Moon’s visit to your relationship sector from Wednesday to Friday might push some buttons, but comes just when the communication lines are most likely to open.

Leo

You have arrived at one of the most exciting romantic weeks of the year to date, with a pair of eclipses electrifying things and bringing the element of fate and the laws of attraction and synchronicity into play. The week kicks off with a lunar eclipse in your romantic sector on Monday and as a super charged Lovers Moon this brings the element of fate into play, creating vibrations and ripples that will bring anything pending to a head, as well as sending signals out into the future. It’s 2 days later that a much rarer Venus eclipse, in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, brings the laws of attraction and synchronicity into play in a powerful way, setting the scene for some serendipitous moments or encounters. Both have the power to bring things to a turning or tipping point.

Virgo

With Pluto already in retrograde motion in your romantic sector, having turned retrograde in April and staying in retrograde motion until September, you’re already taking a trip down love’s memory lane. This week your relationships join in this nostalgic and retrospective focus with Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies turning retrograde in your relationship sector on Tuesday and Chiron, planet of healing slowing down ahead of his retrograde turn here next Tuesday. It’s Chiron’s retrograde turn next week that will begin what has now become an annual healing process, but until then Neptune is your tour guide, which means viewing the past with rose coloured glasses. The reality checks can come later, with a chance this week to revisit the past and recapture something lost or missing.

Libra

The Moon’s return to your romantic sector on Friday will set the scene for a romantically charged weekend, especially as you have no planetary activity here and only the Moon’s monthly visits to keep things on track. In any other week this would have been the high point of the week for all things romantic, but this is literally being eclipsed by an event mid week. It’s on Wednesday that Venus, planet of love and romance will cross the face of the Sun to form a rare Venus eclipse, unleashing all the hidden and suppressed longings and feelings your heart has been holding back on. Falling in an adventurous part of your chart this will bring both the opportunity and the courage to take a leap of faith, making a bold move to escape from a romantic rut or from simply going through the motions.

Scorpio

Romantic and relationship forces are battling for your attention this week and while you need to honour both, it’s your relationships that need to come first. For this is Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion’s last full week in your relationship sector and as he’s not coming back until 2023 and there’s no more planetary activity here once he’s gone until April 2013, you’ve got to make it count. It’s what you’re willing to invest into your relationships this week, either in terms of the intentions set or concrete steps taken, that will determine what you get back over the coming months and years. Meanwhile, Neptune’s retrograde turn in your romantic sector on Tuesday gives you a chance to take a trip down love’s memory lane, preferably wearing your rose coloured glasses.

Sagittarius

While a lunar eclipse in your sign on Monday will put direct pressure on the Sun in your relationship sector, creating some relationship tension in the early days of the week, any buttons being pushed are more a case of the love gods making sure you’re not asleep at the wheel. For it’s just 2 days later that everything is set to come together in the form of a very rare Venus eclipse, in your relationship sector on Wednesday. This will see Venus, currently too close to the Sun to be seen in the night sky, spend 6 hours moving across the face of the Sun and across the brightest stage lighting in the solar system. As the planet of love takes centre stage this is going to bring your deepest relationship desires, wants and needs out of the shadows, making this impossible to ignore.

Capricorn

This week marks the end of one era and the start of the next, with a crossover between the two creating some continuity and a chance to integrate one into the other. For this is Jupiter’s last full week in your romantic sector and due to leave next Tuesday, not to return until 2023, this is the final week for laying everything on the line. Your romantic sector has been continuously active since April 2011, but after the Sun and Mercury left late last month it’s been up to Jupiter to wrap things up, a job he’s taking seriously this week, helping you to put things on the path you want them to continue on. Yet it’s on Thursday that Mercury returns to your relationship sector, kicking off 3 active months on the relationship front which will allow you to take things to the next level.

Aquarius

Having Venus in your romantic sector for 4 months, instead of the normal 4 weeks, is one thing and even having Jupiter on his way and due to arrive next week is a big deal, but the real magic starts this week. It’s a pair of eclipses, falling within 48 hours of each other that are set to unleash the laws of attraction, synchronicity, fate and destiny, making this a week for taking your hands off the wheel from the get go. The week begins with a lunar eclipse in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, which operates under the laws of synchronicity. This sets the scene for some serendipitous moments or encounters, but it’s a much rarer Venus eclipse in your romantic sector on Wednesday that is the real game changer. From this point on denying something real is no longer an option.

Pisces

You reach an important milestone on Monday, one that puts Mars just a month away from leaving your relationship sector and wrapping up his 8 month visit. It has been a rocky, an up and down and often roller coaster ride on the relationship front, as the warrior planet of the cosmos makes his longest visit to your relationship sector in 47 years. Normally here for just 6 weeks, this has been anything but a brush over, with a chance to get right to the bottom of relationship issues and to establish what you’re fighting for and against. It’s time now to bring things home. However, what you need is some light relief, with Mercury’s return to your romantic sector on Thursday kicking off the 3 most romantically charged months of the year. It’s then that your heart will find its voice.

Your Love & Romance Horoscopes for June 4

Aries

With some potent eclipse energy in the air today, an alliance between forces on the relationship and communication fronts create yet another opportunity for a breakthrough. It’s where there are strong emotional responses or your buttons are being pushed that you’ll have the opportunity and resources to give unsaid words a voice.

Taurus

As the Moon wraps up his first visit to your relationship sector since last month’s Full Moon this leaves you with a much better read on where things stand on the relationship front, but also how far you still have to go. With the Moon returning later in the month this has given you a chance to get your bearings.

Gemini

From out of nowhere forces on the relationship front are likely to come to a head, as the Moon not only returns to your relationship sector but becomes a lunar eclipse, with the power to bring things to a head or to a turning or tipping point. Yet chances are what might appear to blindside you has been hiding in plain sight, with fate stepping in to take the wheel.

Cancer

As the Moon wraps up his first visit to your romantic sector since last month’s Full Moon he leaves you with plenty to mull over, including the promise of big things destined for the second half of the year. Listen to both what you do and don’t want to hear, knowing that you have time to work on anything revealed.

Leo

Today’s lunar eclipse in your romantic sector is a super charged Lovers Moon, bringing the ultimate eclipse of the heart. While the Moon visits your romantic sector each month this is by far the most important visit of the year, evoking feelings that can’t be ignored. This has the potential to bring things on the romantic front to a turning or tipping point.

Virgo

As Neptune, planet of dreams and fantasies spends his last full day in direct motion in your relationship sector he’s come to a standstill, creating a situation where you’re no longer moving forward but you haven’t yet turned back. This has you stuck in the moment which is exactly where you need to be.

Libra

You’re moving into some important times on the relationship front, where there is a new call for honesty and authenticity, but also where the laws of synchronicity are in effect. It’s today’s lunar eclipse in your communication sector that creates an unexpected opportunity to not only connect, but holds the potential for a breakthrough.

Scorpio

While there is a new sense of urgency on the relationship front, with Jupiter now just 8 days away from leaving your relationship sector, on the romantic front there is a sense of timelessness that is encouraging you to stay in the moment. Take a proactive approach to relationship matters, but when it comes to love it’s all about the here and now.

Sagittarius

At what is an important time on the relationship front, today’s lunar eclipse in your sign creates a need and a call for personal authenticity. With the Moon in opposition with the Sun in your relationship sector this may create some personal and relationship pressure, yet it provides a timely wake up call on both fronts.

Capricorn

With Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion just 8 days away from leaving your romantic sector and with all your cards now on the table, what you see and what you feel is what you get. Knowing what you want and need from love and with both luck and the love gods on your side, all that’s required now is that you walk the talk.

Aquarius

Don’t be surprised if the path to true love doesn’t run smoothly today or that you encounter some roadblocks or pressure, refusing to see this as a sign that you’re on the wrong path. It’s simply today’s lunar eclipse challenging your romantic attentions, with a heart and love that is true likely to come out stronger and more determined as a result.

Pisces

Mars, planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos is now just a month away from leaving your relationship sector and he’ll be doing everything he can to encourage you to make this final month count. Where before it was challenges that you had to respond to, focus now on taking your relationships into the future.
