Current Moon Phase for July 3rd – Full Moon

Full Moon

100% of Full

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.

 

Current Moon Phase for July 2nd – Gibbous Moon (Waxing)

Gibbous Moon

(waxing/135-180 degrees)

Distractions from the outside begin pressing into your world. Analysis is favored, reevaluating all the various factors you are dealing with. It’s a time to process information and effectively integrate your aims with the people in your immediate environment. This is a good time for organizing things. This Moon phase is suited for synthesis: coming up with a practical plan for getting from point A to point B. Adjustment is required

The Waning Moon Half Moon or Last Quarter Moon

The Waning Moon Half Moon or Last Quarter Moon

Days 22 – 25
This moon rises about midnight and sets around midday the next day. She is visible for the whole time she is in the sky.
Use for protection while travelling, especially at night, from fears that wake us in the night, from phantoms and nightmares,  for reducing major debts, for concerns about older people, for mending quarrels and for avoiding intrusion of privacy, for peaceful divorce and for relieving  stress.
Day 23 is an important time for healing and day 25 for all women’s petitions and needs.

Venus Direct in Gemini

Venus Direct in Gemini

Jeff Jawer                Jeff Jawer on the topics of blogs
Sweet Venus, the planet of love, pleasure, art, beauty and self-worth, has been backpedaling in non-committal (or is it multi-committal) Gemini since May 15, and it finally turns forward on June 27.
We may have been spinning our wheels in relationships during this period, as finding traction to put a current alliance on track or to find a new one is often difficult during Venus Retrograde. The slipperiness of this cycle was greased even more in the adaptable sign of the Twins. Making serious choices in matters of the heart has been a confusing process.

Venus also relates to attraction, including money, making this another area of complexity since mid-May. Expenses and income may fluctuate wildly or, for those in more stable financial situations, attitudes about material resources may have been shifting from hope to doubt and back to hope again. One’s sense of self-worth, another Venusian subject, was probably also on a ferris wheel of ups and downs for the past six weeks or so.

There is a purpose, though, to retrograde periods. They provide a second chance to address matters that require further consideration. Experiencing a wide gamut of thoughts and feelings about relationships and resources may not appear to settle these questions at first, but it can broaden the range of inquiry, leading to better educated decisions later. Sometimes circling a serious issue several times is what it takes to see the whole picture before we’re able to make a meaningful choice.

Sociable Venus will be skittering along in Gemini — which is great for flirting — until August 6, when she enters cuddly, caring and self-protective Cancer. Until then, though, it’s worthwhile to taste various flavors of fun, explore entertaining ideas and start playing with diverse approaches to love. While these may still feel more like meanderings than meaningful activities, we’re expanding the number of ways in which pleasure and partnership can satisfying, even temporarily, our needs.

Choice is a particularly important subject now because philosophical Jupiter entered Gemini last month and will reside in this bubbly sign for a year. Usually, truth-seeking Jupiter prefers one overarching belief system or philosophy to answer life’s biggest questions. But now that it’s in the butterfly sign of the Twins, the road to wisdom is likely to branch off in numerous directions.

The downside of this is mealy-mouthed politicians and coy corporate shills, whose truths vary from moment to moment as suits their needs. Yet while we may mock them for the superficiality, it is a similar lightness that will help us discover new aspects of ourselves and ways to find love and purpose.

Current Moon Phase for June 14 – Last Quarter

Last Quarter Moon

(waning/90-45 degrees)

The time of reaping is at hand. There is a feeling of completion infused into the atmosphere during the Last Quarter Moon. The opportunity opens to recognize how far you’ve come in various parts of your life. This is not a good time for new beginnings, but rather a reflective period suited to evaluating how you have been using your time and what has been accomplished. Issues of authority may arise. This Moon phase supports taking responsibility for actively tying up the loose ends of projects that are already underway.

New Moon Report for June 11th – Mercury square Uranus opposite Pluto

Mercury square Uranus opposite Pluto

Monday, June 11

Tender Mercury in Cancer is rocked by hard aspects to volatile Uranus and provocative Pluto that can set off fears and spur intense conversations. What we’re seeing, though, is not necessarily what we’re going to get so it’s smart to avoid overreacting to unexpected news. On the plus side, these transits give voice to powerful changes that should be managed with care and kindness. Taking time to assimilate the odd ideas and perceptions that are aroused now can make them more useful

Daily General Horoscopes for June 8

Aries

As Mercury, planet of communication spends his first full day in your home and family sector he’s giving you a chance to begin the process of opening the communication lines on the home front. This is the first planetary activity you’ve had on the home front this year and it comes just as you’re moving into some defining and busy weeks on the work front. From the get go, do what you can to ensure you have the right work/life balance.

Taurus

The money gods have been hard at work in your chart over the last few days, with just the second lunar eclipse in your financial sector in a decade and the second and last Venus eclipse in your income sector, in your lifetime, falling within 2 days of each other. This has put all your cards on the table and on the income front in particular has created a new sense of resolve and despite any pressure or intensity, a new sense of confidence.

Gemini

Both the lunar eclipse in your relationship sector earlier in the week and the Venus eclipse 2 days ago all involved the Sun and have already shaped the coming year, whether you realise it or not. You will always be confronted by a Full Moon during your birthday month, making sure that you’re not asleep at the wheel and the Sun and Venus will often align in your sign, giving you a clear sense of what you want from the future. What was different this year, was the strength of the message and the wake up calls.

Cancer

While the internal focus and a sense of nostalgia will remain Mercury, planet of communication has had enough of that. Mercury has returned to your sign bringing the first planetary activity for the year and while your new solar year and birthday month won’t begin for another 13 days, this gives you a head start. Expect the mental fog to clear from today, giving you a lot more mental clarity.

Leo

Your one real escape from life’s pressures and realities is a growing sense of camaraderie in your chart. With the laws of attraction and synchronicity in play, it’s a sense of togetherness that is making being a team player more important than ever. On both the personal and professional fronts, it’s when you’re linking up with others that you’ll feel the most support and you’re more likely to find your wings.

Virgo

Life has become a lot more professionally focused over recent weeks and this is only going to continue, making it important to hold onto the balance between work and play that you’ve worked hard to achieve. It’s Mercury’s return to a social and serendipitous part of your chart that has helped put things into perspective, ensuring that the communication lines are open when it comes to personal and professional networking.

Libra

Just 3 days after Neptune turned retrograde in your work sector, bringing an active phase on the work front to an end and beginning the review phase, Mercury has returned to open new doors on the career front. While Mercury himself is only here for 2 weeks, with the Sun returning before he leaves and then Venus in early August, this is when new doors start to open. Mercury’s intellectual savvy gives you a chance to review your options.

Scorpio

After a financially dominated week to date and even more financial forces building, there is a chance for some light relief and a different perspective today, as Mercury settles into a more adventurous part of your chart. Mercury is only here for a few weeks, but creates a chance to open your mind to things in life that are free or to the options across all the currencies of your life. At what is a highly charged time for money matters Mercury is here to remind you that it’s not all about the money.

Sagittarius

The Moon leaves your income sector today, just hours after Mercury returned to your financial sector, keeping the focus on your money game but bringing a shift in dynamics. Yet if you can hold onto the financial instincts and the nose for money the Moon leaves you with and the smart head for money Mercury is now bringing into play, this will give you a real edge. The first planetary activity in your financial sector for the year gives you a chance to bring things up to speed.

Capricorn

Mercury, planet of communication has broken free from the forces on the work front, returning to your relationship sector just 4 days before Jupiter, planet of luck is due to leave your romantic sector. You’ve reached a point of no return, with the professional focus only intensifying over the coming weeks, but you have a chance today to counter this with equal focus on your personal life. It starts with a chance to open the communication lines.

Aquarius

Mercury’s return to your work sector has been a small step by a small planet but a giant leap as far as your professional year is concerned. You’ve had no planetary activity in either of your professional houses since the Sun left your career sector last November and while Mercury is only here for 2 weeks this smart and intellectually savvy energy kicks off a professional phase that won’t run its course until 2015.

Pisces

Mercury’s return to your romantic and creative sector is destined to have a big impact over the coming months, even though he’s only here for 2 weeks. At what is an important time on the relationship front this creates a chance to bring a sense of romance back into play, as well as a chance to give your heart a voice and to put heart and mind on the same page. All of a sudden simply going through the motions is no longer enough.

Current Moon Phase for June 8th – 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

Your Daily General Horoscopes for June 7th

Aries

During yesterday’s very rare Venus eclipse the planet of love crossed over the face of the Sun in your communication sector, revealing all the feelings and words your heart needs to express. With Mercury, planet of communication leaving your communication sector today, but not before helping you to find your voice, do what you can to ensure that the communication lines remain open, with a new sense of authenticity possible.

Taurus

Just a day after the Sun and Venus aligned to form a very rare Venus eclipse in your income sector Mercury moves on, leaving you with the smart head for money that allows you to manage what has been a dramatic few days on the money front. Having had a lunar eclipse in your financial sector and a Venus eclipse in your income sector within 2 days of each other has brought most things to a head.

Gemini

Having the Moon in your financial sector as Mercury returns to your income sector is giving you both an advantage and a disadvantage. On one hand this ensures that your financial instincts are sharp as a smart head for money kicks in, but this also puts them in opposition, creating some financial tension. Yet even then this creates some timely wake up calls, as your income situation gets its first planetary support for the year.

Cancer

Even though there is a lot of internal focus at the moment, with an abundance of planetary forces in an internally focused part of your chart, this has created an opportunity for some inner discovery that could be life changing. With Jupiter, planet of luck getting involved next week, this isn’t something you should fight and should instead embrace it, especially as this gives you a chance to transform your world from the inside out.

Leo

The Moon has returned to your work sector for one last visit before Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion leaves your career sector in just 5 days time. When Jupiter leaves your career sector next week Pluto, in retrograde motion in your work sector, will be the only planet active on the professional front, with the Moon giving you a chance today to tap into the very forces that will keep your professional year on track. Trust your hunches and your professional instincts.

Virgo

When Venus travelled across the face of the Sun in your career sector yesterday, in a rare Venus eclipse, it put your professional desires and reality on the same page, allowing you to see what you want, where things stand and what’s possible. With Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion just 6 days away from your career sector, you’re starting to wake up to the fact that things have changed and the roll that you’re now on.

Libra

Hold onto a sense of adventure, a sense of curiosity and an awareness of how many options life has, for despite the fact that new doors are about to open on the career front and life does go on, this feeling is here to stay. Something has shifted and it’s no longer okay to simply go through the motions, with the more you wake up to what you’ve been missing out on, the less willing you’ll be to remain sitting on life’s sidelines.

Scorpio

Over the last few days you’ve experienced a lunar eclipse in your income sector and an even rarer Venus eclipse in your financial sector, bringing all sides of your money game to a head. As Mercury wraps up his short visit to your financial sector he’s working to leave you with the smart head for money needed to work with the financial forces this has unleashed. While the stars incline they don’t control, with a need to take your power back.

Sagittarius

It’s clear that the relationship forces in play are not only evolving but that there are some real shifts taking place. Just 3 days ago a lunar eclipse brought some real wake up calls while a Venus eclipse yesterday saw the planet of love step in and take control. With even more shifts ahead, but with the planet of luck about to get involved, there’s a need to trust that the love gods are on your side. What is essential is having the communication lines open.

Capricorn

All of a sudden things have become a lot clearer on the work front, as you start to realise just how many options you have. It’s in his final hours in your work sector that Mercury is giving you the intellectual savvy to make some smart choices, decisions and plans and to work smarter. This is very much an evolving situation, with some major shifts over the coming days, with a need to have a game plan flexible enough to allow for this.

Aquarius

What makes it easy to tap into the playful and romantic energies in play at the moment, making heart lead themes so dominant, is that you have no planetary influence in either of your professional houses and haven’t all year. However, that’s about to change and as the doors get ready to open on the work front there’s an urgent need to find a balance between work and play. For where you’re going playful and professional forces will both dominate.

Pisces

If it’s starting to feel like you’re at the bottom of your own priority list and you’re starting to wonder when it’s going to be your turn, the answer is now. There is a shift today that might not be felt at the time but will over the coming days, as the heavens finally get around to paying a playful, romantic and fun focused part of your chart some attention. If life has become too serious of late, the change comes from a shift in mental focus.

The Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for June 7th

Aries

In his final hours in your communication sector Mercury, planet of communication is working to ensure that the communication lines are open, especially on the relationship front. With some of the best romantic and relationship conditions of the year still in front of you, communication has become more important than ever.

Taurus

Love not only needs to be taken as a journey but one without a roadmap, where it’s more about the journey itself than the destination. It’s not about taking the wrong path, especially as it’s on those dead ends or paths that simply loop around to where you started that you’re likely to learn the most.

Gemini

Over the course of the last 3 days you’ve experienced a lunar eclipse in your relationship sector and a rare Venus eclipse in your sign, with the planet of love bringing some old buried or suppressed feelings and desires to a head. With the door still open to second chances on the romantic front any wake up calls have come just in time.

Cancer

During the Moon’s monthly visit to your relationship sector he wouldn’t be doing his job if this didn’t push some buttons and evoke some strong emotional responses, but chances are these are a lot stronger today. Find a balance between not sweating the small stuff and refusing to stick your head in the sand.

Leo

There is a real sense of magic and synchronicity in the air and after experiencing a lunar eclipse in your romantic sector 3 days ago and a Venus eclipse in a social and serendipitous part of your chart yesterday, a sense that anything is possible. These are serendipitous times, with a need to take your hands right off the wheel.

Virgo

As the Moon makes his monthly visit to your romantic sector this gives you a chance to get an intuitive read on your heart and to test the waters, as Pluto travels deeper into his retrograde phase here and deeper into your past. With Neptune now in retrograde motion in your relationship sector a trip down memory lane is likely to reveal some unexpected surprises.

Libra

One of the most important keys to having things running smoothly on the relationship front is to also having them running smoothly on the home front and that’s even more important than ever. With home and relationship forces destined to go head to head over the coming weeks, the more you can have them working together the better.

Scorpio

When Jupiter, planet of luck leaves your relationship sector in 5 days time he won’t return until 2023 and with no more planetary activity in your relationship sector until April 2013, this is a time for putting everything on the line. As the Moon makes his last visit to your communication sector before Jupiter leaves, seize the opportunity this creates to ensure the communication lines are open.

Sagittarius

You’re in the grip of relationship forces that can’t be explained and chances are you’re still wondering what just hit you, after yesterday’s Venus eclipse in your relationship sector brought some very raw, honest and real desires, feelings and yearnings to the surface. You can no longer deny how you really feel, with that genie now out of the bottle.

Capricorn

At the same time that Jupiter is performing his swan song in your romantic sector Mercury, planet of communication is warming up in the wings, ready to give your relationships some much needed attention. With a lap over between the two, keep the spirit of romance strong and work to inject as much of this into your relationships as possible.

Aquarius

Whether yesterday’s Venus eclipse in your romantic sector brought joy, magic or pain it brought what was real to a head, giving you something to work on or towards. With Jupiter just 5 days away from the start of his 12 month visit to your romantic sector, this has made it possible to start from a place that is real and that you can build on from.

Pisces

While Mercury, planet of communication won’t begin the day in your romantic sector he’ll end the day here, not only making his first visit in nearly a year, but bringing the first planetary activity since last September. At last your romantic situation has representation and it all begins with your heart finding its voice.

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.

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 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 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.

Your Daily General Horoscopes for June 2

Aries

Just 6 days before Mercury, planet of communication is due to leave your communication sector he catches up with Venus, planet of love today or more appropriately their paths cross, bringing heart and mind together and giving both a voice. With Mercury moving forward and Venus retrograding back, they’re like ships that pass in the night, providing a fleeting opportunity to connect in a very intimate and authentic way.

Taurus

Today’s alignment between Mercury and Venus, in your income sector is an unusual one, for they are travelling in different directions and this is less an alignment and more a case of crossing each other’s path. While Mercury’s smart head for money and Venus’ income desires temporarily come together, so too does Mercury’s focus on the road ahead and Venus’ on the road behind. All of a sudden you’re able to see where you’ve been and where you’re going.

Gemini

Just 4 days before Venus is due to cross the face of the Sun in a spectacular and potentially game changing Venus eclipse, she has a less spectacular practice run today. For the first time since returning to your sign nearly 2 months ago Venus has a close encounter with another planet, aligning briefly with Mercury. With Mercury moving forward and Venus in retrograde motion as your heart and mind come together, so too does a clear sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going.

Cancer

Having the Moon in your romantic sector, having coming full circle from last month’s super Full Moon, is giving you a chance to tap back into the feelings evoked then and a chance to gain a better understanding of what might not have made sense then. This comes just as Mercury and Venus align in an intuitive part of your chart, not only putting heart and mind on the same page but foresight and hindsight as well.

Leo

There is both a sense of synchronicity in the air today and a mix of foresight and hindsight, as Mercury and Venus align in a social and serendipitous part of your chart. With Mercury in direct motion and Venus in retrograde motion, this is less an alignment and more a case that their paths cross today. With Venus opening the door to second chances and Mercury working to open new communication lines, the scene is set for some serendipitous moments or encounters.

Virgo

As Mercury and Venus align in your career sector today this brings together Mercury’s intellectual savvy and Venus’ professional desires, as well as a clear sense of hindsight and foresight. With Mercury in direct motion and Venus in retrograde motion, this is less an alignment and more a case of their paths crossing and for a brief moment this allows you to put heart and mind, as well as past and future, on the same page.

Libra

Just 10 days before Jupiter is due to leave your financial sector the Moon is managing to fit in one last visit to your income sector, ensuring that you have a nose for money and you’re on your toes. However, an alignment between Mercury and Venus in an adventurous part of your chart is making it hard to focus too much on the money, especially as you begin to wake up to the fact that money is simply a means to an end.

Scorpio

An alignment between Mercury and Venus in your financial sector today brings together more than just Mercury’s smart head for money and Venus’ financial desires, putting them on the same page, it brings together a clear sense of where you’re going and where you’ve been. With Venus in retrograde motion she’s already been where Mercury is only just heading and she’s about to retrace the same steps Mercury has just taken, bringing a mix of hindsight and foresight.

Sagittarius

Today’s alignment between Mercury and Venus, the planets of communication and love in your relationship sector today, is the first real support that Venus has had and a sign that things are coming together. In the nearly 2 months that Venus has been here, this is her first contact with another planet and with heart and mind on the same page and the doors to the past and future both open, this creates a special day for relationship matters.

Capricorn

The Moon, Mercury and Venus are all competing for your attention today and they’re divided into two camps. While this may create some conflicting forces, if you manage your time well you could achieve the right balance. For while Mercury and Venus are aligned in your work sector, putting both heart and mind and also the past and future into context, the Moon is creating some social and serendipitous vibes, that have the power to put you in the right place at the right time.

Aquarius

Conflicting forces today mirror some major conflicts of interest you’re going to face in the second half of the year, giving you a chance to practice gaining the right balance. As the Moon makes his first visit to your career sector since last month’s dramatic Full Moon, evoking your professional instincts and bringing home some important messages, Venus and Mercury align in a romantic and playful part of your chart. Find a way to hold onto your professional edge and a sense of playfulness at the same time.

Pisces

As Mercury and Venus align in your home and family sector this creates a chance to not only put heart and mind on the same page, but to gain a sense of hindsight and foresight. With Venus in retrograde motion the door is open to second chances, while Mercury is moving forward, working to ensure your mind is sharp and the communication lines are open. They are about to retrace each other’s steps, with a lot of things falling into place from today.

Your Daily Love & Romance Horoscopes for June 2

Aries

As Venus and Mercury, the planets of love and communication align in your communication sector, this gives you a chance to give the past, present and future a voice, as well as your heart and anything that’s been on your mind. While the door is still open to second chances on the relationship front, this creates a chance to make up for lost time.

Taurus

The Moon has come full circle after last month’s Full Moon in your relationship sector, a super Moon that most likely stirred things up. This time around the Sun is no longer in your sign and therefore no longer in opposition, giving you a chance to make sense of things that may have escalated out of proportion when they first came to a head.

Gemini

Hold onto the messages evoked and especially to a sense of romantic nostalgia during the Moon’s visit to your romantic sector over the last few days, for you’re about to move into some important and defining relationship days. With a bit of short term relationship turbulence ahead, find a way to keep it real while also recognising what you might be missing out on.

Cancer

The Moon has come full circle from last month’s Full Moon, a super Moon that most likely brought some strong feelings and home truths to a head. This time the Sun is no longer on the other side of the sky so the wake up calls won’t be so full on, with a chance to make sense of what you’ve been trying to decipher since then.

Leo

As Venus and Mercury, the planets of love and communication align in a social and serendipitous part of your chart, this sets the scene for some serendipitous moments or encounters. With the laws of attraction and synchronicity in effect and with the door open to new opportunities or second chances, you’ll tap into this if you keep heart and mind on the same page.

Virgo

Last month’s Full Moon in your communication sector gave you a chance to clear the air and get a lot of words out there and now that the Moon has come full circle, there is a chance to bring things together. It’s where things were half finished or up in the air that you’re able to create more cohesion, especially on the relationship front.

Libra

As Venus and Mercury align today, they not only bring heart and mind together in a way that allows you to tap into a sense of adventure, it brings the potential for both new opportunities and second chances. As Venus evokes a desire for more romantic adventure and for making up for lost time, Mercury has the intellectual savvy to help you walk the talk.

Scorpio

At the same time that Neptune is spending his last weekend in direct motion in your romantic sector Jupiter is spending his penultimate weekend in your relationship sector, making it important to make your personal life a priority. With some busy professional days early next week, put your personal life first while you can.

Sagittarius

As Mercury and Venus, the planets of communication and love align in your relationship sector, this not only puts heart and mind on the same page, giving both a voice, but opens the door to new opportunities and second chances. This makes this an extremely auspicious day for communication on the relationship front.

Capricorn

While you’re finding it increasingly hard to take your work hat off, even in the weekend, that’s actually your reality and something you can’t or don’t want to change. Instead it’s about learning to live with it and with some social and serendipitous forces in play today this is a good test of your resolve.

Aquarius

Today is a very special day on the romantic front with Mercury and Venus, the planets of communication and love aligned in your romantic sector. With Venus moving backwards and Mercury moving forwards this not only brings heart and mind together but the future and the past. With Mercury leaving in 5 days time, make giving your heart a voice a priority.

Pisces

Mercury is now just 5 days away from your romantic sector, where while he’ll only stay for 19 days he’ll open the door to the most romantically charged 3 months of the year. As Mercury aligns with Venus, planet of love today this will put heart and mind on the same page, both focused on making your life as love friendly as possible.
