SignOut June
Look for a period of review from the 22nd through the 26th. Mercury retrograde is a great time to revisit an old situation, review the past, and take care of what is already on your plate. • Keep your agenda very flexible on the 7th and 8th. We are likely to be a little raw during that time. Planetary activity is especially busy during the last half of July, so that is usually a good time for making decisions. • Fun days this month are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 17th, 19th, 20th, and 21st. Days to keep a low profile are the 7th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 26th.
ARIES (March 21–April 19). Gaining clarity about your point of view is on the agenda this month. During the first half of the month, you are getting things organized—a great time to write, take classes, or even to get out of town. In the latter half of the month you are much more serious, and your tolerance is especially low. Decisions will be need to be made as you focus on home and family issues. Things may not be easy as different points of view emerge, but you will be clear about what you must do.
TAURUS (April 20–May 20). You are feeling much more active this month and getting some clarity about what you need to do. Watch your spending this month. It can be a very good time for long-term investing, even if that means just opening a savings account. You are still working on a long-term plan that may be put into action after the end of July. It’s a good time to improve your career, seek a promotion, or even start your own business. You are even clearer about things by the end of the month.
GEMINI (May 21–June 21). This is a very busy birthday time for you as the sun, Mars, and Jupiter move through your sign at the same time. Since this month marks your personal yearly cycle, you are evaluating what you did last year and what you would like to accomplish this year. With Mars, planet of action, moving through your sign, this is a great time to start new projects or confront things that you need to deal with. Your ruler, Mercury, is going retrograde at the end of the month, so no new projects from June 22 through the end of July. Review what you already have going, and deal with that.
CANCER (June 22–July 22). You are in a time of rest and retreat, especially during the first half of the month. This can be a good time for some meditation, writing, or just getting away from it all. The second half of the month is very busy, with all of the important things being triggered—home, relationships, career, and especially you. This can be a good time to push forward on some projects. Mercury goes retrograde in your sign at the end of June. You will have a whole month to rethink your actions and make sure your decisions are correct. You will be hearing from people from your past!
LEO (July 23–August 22). This is a great month for social activity, getting involved in community functions, or just visiting with your friends. You are continuing to work on making your personal life and home a more stable place. Decisions this year seem to have more weight attached to them, and that is making you be extra cautious. The end of the month would be good for taking some time off, having a massage, or just watching some really entertaining movies. You are more sensitive toward the end of the month. Be careful who you invite into your life.
VIRGO (August 23–September 22). Your career is in the spotlight this month. This is a good time to take a leadership role at work, or even to consider doing something on your own. You are very visible this month as people take notice of what you are doing. This is also a very good time to be involved in community or group activities. With Mercury going retrograde in your friendship sector, you could certainly have old friends coming back to visit. Friends can be very helpful with work or career issues. Be sure to take a break at the end of the month and review your work!
LIBRA (September 23–October 23). This is a more laid-back month for you. It could be an excellent time to get out of town or find an activity that really frees and expands your mind. By mid-month, you are getting back on track with your work and responsibilities. This is going to be a busy career time with lots of options opening up, especially after the end of July. But don’t feel you have to decide right away. You will have Mercury retrograding through your career sector for most of July, so you’ll have enough time to rethink where you are. You may want to correct the problems that exist with your job, or just move on.
SCORPIO (October 24–November 21). This is an emotional month of exploration for you as you look at how intimate you are with those around you. You are working to remove any blocks that create mistrust and withholding. Sexual energies are stronger as well, but only as your level of trust deepens. You remain in a time of review-and-renew until the last months of 2014. Keep only what really helps you. Toward the end of the month, you are ready for a more relaxed pace. Don’t over-commit during this time.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22–December 21). Relationships are on the menu this month. If you are involved, this is a wonderful time for you and your partner to have an adventure! This can be another courting or dating time. If you miss this opportunity for fun, negative emotions will come to the surface and you’ll end up trying to fix things rather than having fun. If you are single, this is a fabulous time to put yourself out there. You are feeling very confident, and your charisma is very strong. The intimacy only gets stronger toward the end of the month.
CAPRICORN (December 22–January 19). The first half of the month is about getting your job and work environment in better shape. People may not be getting along at work, and you may feel that you need to step in with a plan to help co-workers get along. This is also a great time to get on a health kick! Relationships take the spotlight after mid-month. If you are involved, this is a good time to be with your partner. If you are single, this is a great time to test the waters. Business partnerships are also improving. As we get to the end of the month, you will be in a nostalgic mood. Take some time to look back.
AQUARIUS (January 20–February 18). You are very intellectually stimulated this month with so many of the planets in Gemini. This is a great time for creative activity, or spending time with your children or other young people. They can really help to free up your mind. You still have a strong overriding theme of getting your career and life organized. You will do that as you go into a cleaning and organizing mood toward the end of the month. Don’t start anything new until then.
PISCES (February 19–March 20). Home and family are the primary topics for the Mermaids and Mermen. This can be a great month for entertaining at home, starting home repairs and cleanup chores, or visiting with relatives. For some, your home is literally the place you escape to. For those of you born February 19 through the 23rd, the first part of the month may seem sluggish and you will want to be away from activities and people. This will lighten up by mid month. Take some time for creative activities toward the end of the month. If you have children, this can a be great month for them.
