In The News – Venus Transit Tonight

Transit of Venus

On June 5, 2012 at sunset on the East Coast of North America and earlier for other parts of the U.S., the planet Venus will make its final trek across the face of the sun as seen from Earth until the year 2117. The last time this event occurred was on June 8, 2004 when it was watched by millions of people across the world. Get prepared for this once in a lifetime event!

For over 100 years the main quest of astronomers was to pin down the distance between Earth and Sun (the Astronomical Unit), which would give them a key to the size of the solar system. Careful studies of the transit of Venus became the gold mine they would harvest to reveal this measure.

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.

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 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 Daily Cosmic Calendar for June 4th

Stop, look and listen! Silence is golden in the early hours as the Partial Lunar Eclipse strikes first at 4:04AM PDT followed 9 minutes later by the Full Moon at 4:13AM PDT (activating 15 degrees of Gemini and Sagittarius). Individual and group meditations are encouraged during what some esoteric groups call the Festival of Humanity. Send out your inspiring thoughts and prayers to friends, colleagues, relatives and the kingdoms of nature. Worrying about your own personal needs is a no-no. Think more about your higher destiny in this lifetime and how you can be of greater service to the invisible host of teachers, angels and spirits that orchestrate the universe from their elevated perspectives. Giving your religious beliefs and philosophy of life extra support is Neptune becoming motionless at 4 degrees of Pisces (2:05PM PDT) as it gradually shifts into retrograde motion – a reversal direction that lasts until November 10. All Neptune themes – dreams and visions, psychic sensitivity, the creative imagination, spiritual longings, ideals, artistic genius, universal love-wisdom, fishing and sailing, water sports, illusions, fantasies, confusion and chaos, addictive behavior and being hooked on anyone and anything – are intensified. Adding to today’s carnival-like atmosphere is a Venus-Mars square from Gemini to Virgo (5:29PM PDT). Strive for serenity in affairs of the heart. Fortunately, Venus will also make an inspirational, 72-degree contact with Pallas (6:34PM PDT) – offering encouragement regarding problem-solving and strategy sessions. The Moon, still transiting, adventurous and playful Sagittarius goes retrograde during a Moon-Mercury opposition (10:09PM PDT). Complete odd jobs and old projects on a high note during the next 7-hour uncertainty zone until the Moon enters industrious, earthy Capricorn at 5:32AM PDT on Tuesday.

Your Financial Horoscopes for Sunday, June 3rd

Aries

It was 4 weeks ago to the day that a Full Moon in your income sector not only challenged the Sun in your income sector, but lucky Jupiter as well, bringing things on both the income and financial fronts to a head. The Moon has returned to the same spot only to find the Sun gone, so there’ll be less financial pressure but even more reason to pay attention.

Taurus

So far income forces have had an easy ride, with Venus’ retrograde position in your income sector and the tailwind from a solar eclipse almost 2 weeks ago still fast tracking your forward momentum. However, with a lunar eclipse in your financial sector tomorrow you’re about to get the kind of challenges that will raise the bar and declare that it’s ‘game on’.

Gemini

With things about to start moving on the income front, make the most of the final days for some time when Pluto, planet of change and revolution is the only planet active in either of your money houses. Look at where there are fundamental financial matters that you need to take responsibility for, ensuring that when money starts coming in it doesn’t flow out the other end.

Cancer

There is absolutely nothing in today’s stars to suggest that you’re just 24 hours away from a lunar eclipse in your work sector or just weeks away from new doors opening on the income front. This gives you a day where you can get away with taking your work and your money hats off, while feeling confident that something is in the wind.

Leo

Where before income and financial matters were interlinked, their agendas are starting to separate. While things are speeding up on the income front and your fighting spirit is coming into its own, on the financial front as a whole it’s time to pull back and keep things ticking over, behind the scenes.

Virgo

Due to turn direct in your income sector in just over 3 week’s time, Saturn is slowing down to a crawl and will eventually come to a standstill. This is going to make it feel like things are becoming stuck and may appear to stall, but in reality once the tide turns you’ll find that the turnaround will be more extreme than you anticipate, so hold the faith and hang in there.

Libra

It was 4 weeks ago to the day that a Full Moon in your income sector not only created some valuable triggers on the income front, but also some wake up calls as the Moon went head to head with the Sun in your financial sector. While the Sun has moved on Jupiter is still there and the wake up calls, though not as strong, will be even more urgent.

Scorpio

With a lot of focus on your financial situation at the moment and the Moon not even in your income sector yet, it’s no wonder there’s nothing to support that you’re just 24 hours away from a potentially game changing lunar eclipse. An ordinary Full Moon in your income sector is enough to trigger events on the income front, with a lunar eclipse having a lot more clout.

Sagittarius

Over the weekend is the perfect time to take financial inventory, for with Mercury just 4 days away from your financial sector and Pluto already starting to feel some pressure on the income front, this is not the time for putting things off. It’s where you’ve told yourself that you’ll deal with something later that you need to deal with it or at least acknowledge it now.

Capricorn

When Venus visits your work sector the rule of thumb is, that where your heart leads the money will follow. Right now Venus is opening the door to second chances on the work front and with even bigger developments over the coming week, the scene is set to start reaping from what you’ve already sown, especially if you’re following your heart and working smarter.

Aquarius

With Neptune due to turn retrograde in your income sector in just 2 days time and Chiron a week to the day later, things are slowing down to a crawl. Yet rather than a sign that things are becoming stuck, this gives you a chance to process things, at a time when Mars is speeding things up on the financial front as a whole.

Pisces

While nothing may have actually changed on the money front, the nature of the conditions impacting both your income and financial situations lends itself to a growing sense of confidence. You’re able to look back at the past in a way that says ‘that was then and this is now’, allowing you to take ownership of the past without getting hung up on woulda, shoulda, couldas.

Your Daily General Horoscopes for Sunday, June 3rd

Aries

During last month’s super Moon in your financial sector the Moon opposed both the Sun and Jupiter in your income sector, but 4 weeks on the Sun has gone and Jupiter is not only on his own, but is just 9 days away from leaving. While this may push some buttons and create some financial pressure, it’s both a wakeup call to make the most of Jupiter’s final days in your income sector and of the messages evoked by last months’ Full Moon but since forgotten.

Taurus

Don’t be afraid or alarmed if there is some personal and/or relationship pressure today, for it is providing the right wake up calls at the right time. With Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion due to leave your sign in just 9 days time the Moon, moving through your relationship sector, moves into opposition for the final time. On both the personal and relationship fronts this provides wake up calls that can’t be ignored.

Gemini

Listen to anything that pushes your buttons and creates pressure or strong emotional reactions today, especially when it comes to demands on your time, listening for what buttons this pushes and why. If everything else is demanding your time, it’s less about the demands being put on you and more what you feel this is robbing you of. You have a bold new future unfolding in front of you, with a need to claim your power back.

Cancer

Expect some pressure in group, team or social situations today, especially if it evokes self doubt or a sense that other’s just don’t ‘get you’. But take a look at where that’s coming from and if most is self imposed. The reality is that you don’t know what others think about you and chances are they’re not thinking at all, too wrapped up in their own lives. Look at where you’re needlessly being your own worst critic today and choose to take your power back.

Leo

It was 4 weeks today that the super Moon, a Full Moon in your home and family sector, not only brought things to a head on the home and family front, but any work/life balance issues as well. Yet as the Moon comes full circle a lot of the hype is gone and there’s a chance to make sense of what didn’t before. However, the Moon wouldn’t be doing his job if he didn’t evoke some pressure, making sure that you’re not asleep at the wheel on the home or career fronts.

Virgo

It was just 4 weeks ago to the day that the Moon’s monthly visit to your communication sector came to a head as a Full Moon and while the Moon has returned, there isn’t the same level of pressure there was. You’ll find it a lot easier to express yourself and with life becoming a lot less high pressured since then, but a lot more professionally focused, it’s both easier and more important to ensure that the communication lines are open.

Libra

The Moon wouldn’t be doing his job if his last visit to your income sector before Jupiter leaves your financial sector and their last opposition before then, didn’t push some buttons. But chances are the Full Moon in your income sector 4 weeks ago flushed most things out and now it’s more about being on your toes and providing the wake up calls to ensure that until the money gods clock out, that you’re paying attention.

Scorpio

It was 4 weeks ago to the day that a Full Moon in your sign brought you to the halfway point in your solar year, providing the checks and balances required to check that you’re on track and to commit to the intentions and expectations you’re able to take with you into the second half of your solar year. The Moon has come full circle and back in your sign you have a chance to get your bearings and gain an intuitive sense of whether you’re on track or not.

Sagittarius

With Jupiter just 9 days away from leaving your work sector and Mars due to leave your career sector in a month from tomorrow, when you move into your new working week, it’s going to be full on, with a much greater sense of professional urgency. This makes it important to take your professional hat off while you can over the weekend, seizing the opportunity lazy lunar vibes are evoking today to unwind and recharge your batteries.

Capricorn

With a very rare Venus eclipse in your work sector in 3 days time and lucky Jupiter just 9 days away, what is already an over abundance of professional forces in your chart is destined to swell further over the coming days and weeks. You can’t wait this one out, thinking you’ll take a weekend off to catch up with friends, socialise and have some fun after this professional wave passes, for it won’t pass until mid 2013. Find a balance between work and play while you can.

Aquarius

It may be the weekend and there may be some playful and romantic vibes in play, but you also need to have your professional hat on. With the Moon in your career sector, having come full circle from last month’s Full Moon, your professional instincts are sharp and with Mercury just 5 days away from your work sector, which will bring the first planetary activity in either of your professional houses for the year, there is a real need to remain on your toes.

Pisces

With an extremely important and potentially defining and game changing lunar eclipse in your career sector tomorrow, your focus today is to keep your mind and your options open and to tap into a quest for knowledge and a sense of curiosity. With the Moon not even returning to your career sector tomorrow there are no signs for just how close you are to some fairly dramatic professional shifts, which is why you need to avoid second guessing anything.

Your Daily Financial Horoscopes for June 2

Aries

The Moon has come full circle from last month’s Full Moon in your financial sector, returning to bring home the same messages but in a less dramatic way. The things that came to a head 4 weeks ago have had a chance to sink in and as the Moon returns you’ll find what didn’t make sense before is suddenly crystal clear.

Taurus

Today’s planetary forces put the power back in your hands, with Venus and Mercury’s alignment in your income sector putting a smart head for money and your financial desires on the same page. With Venus in retrograde and Mercury in direct motion, this also gives you a clear sense of where you’ve been and where you’re going.

Gemini

While you can’t do anything to speed up the arrival of the first planetary activity in your income sector for the year, which won’t kick off for another 5 days, you can prepare for their arrival. It all comes down to your sense of expectation and entitlement, for if you feel that you deserve more you’re more likely to spot and seize opportunities.

Cancer

One of the reasons why things are likely to improve on the income front, when doors start to open on the income front later this month, is the state of your professional game. While you’ve already invested a lot there are still some wildcards left to play out, with a need to keep your mind and your options open, especially on the work front.

Leo

As far as not only the thrust that your current professional year is getting but your professional game as a whole for years to come, you’re now in the end game. The Moon’s visit to your income sector over the last few months has given you a chance to put your professional and income objectives on the same page, allowing you to pick your battles wisely.

Virgo

As Saturn moves into the final weeks of his last retrograde phase in your income sector for another 30 years, it’s with the kind of confidence and support you haven’t had until now. All of a sudden you’re starting to get a sense that all the hard work, sacrifices and determination is starting to pay off.

Libra

The Moon has come full circle from last month’s Full Moon, a super Moon that brought things to a head in a major way. With the Sun no longer in your financial sector the financial tension has reduced, but with Jupiter in his final days in your financial sector the urgency has increased. Trust what a nose for money and anything that pushes your buttons is telling you.

Scorpio

Just 5 days after Mercury aligned with the Sun in your financial sector, putting financial objectivity and a smart head for money on the same page, he aligns with Venus today, creating a very different mix. Today not only sees Venus’ financial desires and Mercury’s smart head for money coming together, but a lot of foresight and hindsight.

Sagittarius

It’s before financial intensity and any pressure kicks in that you have a chance to decide how to play this. On both the income and financial fronts refuse to sweat the small stuff or to create challenges where there are none, while at the same time keeping your head out of the sand, dealing with things as they arise.

Capricorn

As Mercury and Venus, the planets of intellectual savvy and money align in your work sector today, this puts heart and mind as well as foresight and hindsight on the same page. At a time when you’re able to work smarter the door is open to both new opportunities and second chances, with a clear sense of where the money is.

Aquarius

As the Moon makes his monthly visit to your career sector, coming full circle from last month’s Full Moon, this is sharpening your professional instincts and creating a sense of confidence on the income front. It’s the Moon’s positive aspect to forces on the income front, that allows you to spot things you might otherwise miss.

Pisces

While the Moon’s visit to your financial sector over the last few days may have forced you to face some home truths, you can’t take ownership of the future without first taking ownership of the past. Where in the past this may have created some real tension, a growing sense of financial confidence allows you to face the past in a brave and stoic way.

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.

Your Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for June 1 – 3

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Depth and Delight

June 1 – 3

Friday’s cosmic energy starts the weekend off with depth and delight. The depth is found in the passionate Scorpio Moon playing a base note of emotional intensity. The urge to merge is strong, but defenses are equally strong. Scorpio’s affection travels the extremes from total desire to complete repulsion. There’s no middle ground. Yet this weekend also begins with the beautiful breeze of Mercury and Venus meeting up in airy Gemini. The conjunction of the communication and relationship planets in this clever sign invites playful conversations. Wit and charm add plenty of sparkle on Friday when flirting and curiosity rule.

Saturday reveals innovative angles of perception to open minds with a fresh perspective. Mental Mercury hooks up with brilliant and ingenious Uranus to make everyone a little smarter. Weird ideas show us how to break through long-standing problems. Conversations and plans may have to go off track for originality to run free. Besides, spontaneity is sexier than following a strict schedule. Emotions are deep in spite of our intellectual flights of fancy with the Moon lurking in mysterious Scorpio on Saturday. Our heads and hearts (or lower parts) might not be on the same page, as the difference between thinking and feeling is greater than usual now. This emotional dichotomy can make for very exciting but complicated encounters, but it’s not the best time to attempt to control relationships.

The optimistic Sagittarius Moon helps to lighten the mood on Sunday, yet we still might feel a sense of loss as we head toward a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse on Monday that puts old dreams behind us. Don’t resist the inevitable; embrace the future with an open heart.

Celestial Power Spell (Hare Moon)

Celestial Power Spell

(Hare Moon)

Use this spell to gain rapport with the powers of the Moon, Stars, and Planets.

Spread a white altar cloth on your altar after dark. Use a white candle and meditative music. Light the candle and turn on the music. Take several drops complete breaths, in and out. Merge with the Divine with Oneness and say:

“Moon, stars, planets and celestial powers

Please open your spirits to me

Moon, stars, planets, and celestial powers

Please open your hearts to me

Moon, star, planets, and celestial powers

Please open your arms to me

Moon, stars, planets and celestial powers

Please lend your wisdom to me

Thank you for your celestial energy, blessed be!

Now gaze at the candle and meditate on the powers of the moon, stars, planets, nebulas, and other celestial formations, lending their wisdom to you and filling you with celestial light. Do this for at least 15 minutes. Allow the candle to safely burn down when you are finished.

Your Daily General Horoscopes for May 31st

Aries

Just 6 days before a rare Venus eclipse in your communication sector is set to create some spectacular communication conditions, especially when it comes to giving your heart a voice, the Moon is making a timely visit to your relationship sector. If this pushes your buttons or evokes a strong response then this is what you want, for you’re finding it easier by the day to break through old communication barriers.

Taurus

Having the Moon in your work sector is giving you an intuitive read on where things stand on the work front, on the dynamics in play and of anything you need to be alert to. This is the Moon’s last visit to your work sector before Saturn turns direct here later next month and before things really start to move on the work front. This makes this a day for listening to your hunches and for keeping your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground.

Gemini

Just as your Venus return is drawing close to another milestone and with the planet of love already in retrograde motion, opening the door to second chances, the Moon makes a timely visit to your romantic sector. This is the Moon’s last visit to your romantic sector before Saturn turns direct here later next month and Venus turns direct in your sign, just a few days later. As well as providing an emotional link to your heart, today’s lunar vibes provide an emotional link to the past.

Cancer

The Moon wouldn’t be doing his job if his last visit to your home and family sector, while Saturn is in retrograde motion for another 30 years, didn’t also push some buttons. As the Moon moves into opposition with Uranus in your career sector, this is likely to bring any work/life balance issues to a head, but in a way that is less about warning of conflicts ahead and more about understanding what is already behind you.

Leo

With Jupiter leaving your career sector in just 12 days time and Pluto, the only planet left after that to keep the professional momentum going, already in retrograde motion in your work sector, the all or nothing professional focus of the past is already easing right back. Yet you don’t want to lose the edge or the momentum you’ve worked so hard to gain, with a need to not only work smarter but to put a self sustaining professional game plan in motion.

Virgo

The Moon wouldn’t be doing his job if his last visit to your income sector while Saturn was in retrograde motion for another 30 years didn’t push some buttons. But considering the financial tensions and pressures of the past, this is simply a monthly wake up call, but it’s because it’s the last while Saturn is in retrograde motion that this will deliver any final messages from the past. This comes as professional developments clear the way for making up for lost time on the income front.

Libra

Since returning to your sign in October 2009 Saturn has spent several months in retrograde motion each year, in retrograde motion now for the third time in as many years, but also for the last time. It’s the Moon’s last visit to your sign before Saturn turns direct and their final days together while the doors to the past are open for another 30 years; that gives you a chance to really look the past in the eye and take ownership.

Scorpio

Don’t be surprised if the wind is taken out of your sails today, with an inexplicable urge to put out the ‘do not disturb’ sign or to have an unplanned ‘duvet’ day. Give yourself permission to choose what pace you approach the day with and if you don’t feel like doing anything at all, then give yourself permission to slack off. You’ve had some busy months and the wisest thing is to listen to your body, giving yourself time to hear yourself think.

Sagittarius

You’ve reached what is an important day for networking and connecting, either with old friends or in situations where you’re able to learn from the past or make up for lost time. There is a sense of synchronicity in the air that needs to be tapped into, making it less about what is planned and more about what happens spontaneously. Don’t try and over manage or control things, but choose to remain open, plugged in and available.

Capricorn

Having the Moon in your career sector will always sharpen your professional instincts and provide some valuable hunches and clues and his position here is no exception. Yet as the Moon makes his last visit to your career sector while Saturn is in retrograde motion for another 30 years and just as things are taking off on the work front, this gives you an intuitive edge into a fast changing and developing professional situation. Keep your finger on the pulse and your ear to the ground.

Aquarius

As the Moon makes his last visit to your sector of travel, adventure, learning and discovery before Saturn turns direct later next month and for the last time while he’s in retrograde motion for another 30 years, you’ll find that your excuses are being challenged. Look at where you’ve missed out on life in the past and the excuses that you hid behind. Even though they may have been genuine in the past they can be revisited, knowing that times change and that so too do you.

Pisces

As the Moon returns to your financial sector, for the last time while Saturn is in retrograde motion here for another 30 years, you have a chance to finally get to the bottom of old financial issues or more appropriately to your reactions to old issues. While this may create some short term financial pressure, as the Moon moves into opposition with Uranus in your income sector, this is more likely to evoke a new sense of resolve.

Your Love & Romance Horoscopes for May 31st

Aries

The Moon is making his last visit to your relationship sector before Saturn turns direct later next month and as it will be another 30 years before they meet up here again, while the doors to the past are open, this gives you a chance to peep inside. It’s the Moon’s emotional response to past relationship matters that needs to be embraced and accepted.

Taurus

The Moon’s visit to your romantic sector over the last few days has given you a chance to tap back into your romantic passions, just as you’re about to move into Mars’ final month here. With your inner romantic warrior now in battle mode it’s time to get involved in the kind of romantic crusade that can take your love life into the future and beyond.

Gemini

As the Moon makes his last visit to your romantic sector before Saturn turns direct, this gives you one last chance to really embrace a sense of romantic nostalgia. It will be another 30 years before the Moon visits your romantic sector while Saturn is opening the door to the past and with Venus taking your heart on a trip down memory lane, this gives you a chance to immerse yourself in romantic nostalgia.

Cancer

You’re about to move into what is destined to be a bit of a turbulent month on the relationship front, with things that have been building behind the scenes destined to come to a head. This is a good thing, because it’s going to keep your relationship alive. Until then refuse to sweep anything under the carpet that could blow up on you later.

Leo

As the Moon makes his last visit to your communication sector while Saturn is in retrograde motion, not just for this year but for another 30 years, this gives you one final chance to not only give unsaid words a voice, but to delve as deep as it’s possible to go. Don’t let future relationships or the future of a current relationship suffer because of things you can let go of now.

Virgo

Until now things have been moving fairly quickly on the relationship front, with a lot of ups and downs. With those ups and downs now behind you and things having reached a more even pace, you’re able to take things slowly. If before your relationship focus was a mile wide but an inch deep, it now needs to be an inch wide but a mile deep.

Libra

There may be some short term relationship pressure or things pushing your buttons today, as the Moon’s return to your sign puts him in opposition with Uranus, the only planet active on the relationship front. Instead of ignoring this embrace it, for it’s giving you a chance to deal with things before they can escalate.

Scorpio

With Neptune turning retrograde in your romantic sector next week, Chiron the week after and both here for years to come, there should be zero urgency, aware that both the love gods and time are on your side. That can’t be said for your relationships, where you’re about to run out of support, with an urgent need to make the most of it while you’ve got it.

Sagittarius

It was only a week ago today that Mercury, planet of communication returned to your relationship sector, but due to leave in a week from today communication has become a lot more urgent. At what is such an important time for your relationships and with Mercury only here for 2 weeks, making use of every moment is a must.

Capricorn

Mercury, planet of communication is just a week away from a short 19 day visit to your relationship sector, which despite its brief duration is destined to open a lot of new doors but also bring some challenges and wake up calls. You’re able to get a jump on this by dealing with relationship issues while they’re still small and working now to get the communication lines open.

Aquarius

While having the Sun, Mercury and Venus in your romantic sector is creating some of the most romantic weeks of the year and in any other year would be as good as it gets, this is just the warm up for even bigger and better things to some. It’s in these early days that you need to view love as an evolving situation, one that is more about the journey.

Pisces

If the Moon’s visit to your relationship sector over the last few days shook things up and pushed some emotional buttons, then he’s done his job. With new doors opening on the romantic front next week and Mars about to move into his final month in your relationship sector, you need to get things out in the open and to know what you’re fighting for or against.
