We have reached June and are six months into the year already! The Summer Solstice is so near; approaching tipping point, the Northern hemisphere of planet Earth begins to wobble away from the Sun. It’s a slow process, but this is what gives us our seasons as we make our year long journey around the zodiac. Blessed be to everyone reading this.

June starts off with an abundant grand water trine! With Jupiter and Neptune being 120° apart from each other, they are met by goddess Venus who is a particular blessing in particular when paired with Jupiter creating a trifecta of poetic beauty and dreamy romance. What a beautiful way to start the month!

Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto and Neptune are all retrograde this month already with bad boy Mars turning on his heels to join the retrograde bandwagon at the end of the month.

Oh yeah… just a heads-up – Mercury will go retrograde as well at the end of July! Shhh

During the beginning of the month you will experience an ease of expression in your home-life; with a naturally harmonious environment you can be as productive as you like. If you have been having money issues, creating a budget to manage your finances is a good idea. Make sure you aren’t being unrealistic about your repayments if you are thinking of taking out a loan.
The New Moon will spark the need to develop your knowledge to improve your outlook and aspirations. Perhaps you have decided that you would like to go back to study.
When the Sun crosses the solstice point home and family life will be emphasised and you might decide to make some home improvements or spend quality time with family. If you are thinking about moving in with a friend or partner be aware of all the implications before committing and ensure you aren’t seeing the world through rose tinted glasses.
Energy levels may stagnate toward the 26th as your ruling planet Mars slows down to the point he is ready to enter retrograde motion. You will likely feel more introspective and in tune with your true desires. A little more strategizing may be necessary in your shared and personal goals before you go full speed ahead. In concept things work but in practice your plans may need re-working. It can be infuriating working with people who aren’t as disciplined as you; be aware that you could be more assertive than usual, and more likely to say what you think.
The Full Moon on the 28th spotlights your public image and professional outlook – paired with Mars retrograde, you will be aware of the milestones you have already reached, and your hard work will be evident to all at this point. It isn’t necessarily a time to stop making an effort but by the end of the month you will be able to take your foot off the accelerator and enjoy yourself a little more.

Since May 15th, rebellious Uranus has probably got you feeling all shook up. The dust will settle but get used to unpredictability for a little while because the more you try and control things, the more difficult things will be. Read more about Uranus in Taurus here.
At the beginning of the month, relationships, communication and friendships get a bountiful boost. A shared project could be sprinkled with a little luck and abundance, and romance could be on the cards. However, it is possible to blow things out of proportion during this transit so make sure the feeling is mutual! If you are single, now is a good opportunity to go out and meet someone though I would urge you to be sure you are realistic before getting to deeply involved as it is possible you are seeing through rose-tinted goggles. Wishing to share ideas and having a mental connection with your loved ones, this might be a time where you feel you are lacking this. If you haven’t already got plans in place, the New Moon asks you to think about putting money aside for savings; perhaps you have been looking at a local investment or wishing to set money aside? On the same day your ruling planet Venus moves from the house of communication to the family and home zone, so things could feel a lot better at home if you talk it out.
Mars retrograde on the 26th is the beginning of a very introspective process as you try to figure out what really matters to you. Thinking about your career and whether you are channelling your energy correctly, you might feel like you need to do something that really resonates and has a meaningful or humanitarian bent.
With the Full Moon in your house of expansion, you might feel you need to study a course or add to your skills in some way. Adopting a new philosophy in order to understand the changes occurring in your life will help to create structure for you.

Having a super cerebral time at the moment Gemini with your brain juggling so many ideas and tasks, its likely sleep isn’t coming easy. During the early part of the month you will have difficulty with implementing action without having to address the more serious issues with bouts of productivity being completely ground to a halt. However, the grand water trine on the 1st will give you a boost in your financial, work and career zones. Your hard work could start to pay off right now and your reputation could get a tidy boost. However, be wary of people in your day-to-day who aren’t revealing their true intentions – avoid gossip or you could end up becoming tabloid fodder instead!  
The New Moon on the 13th is in your first house. This is a time where you will brainstorm and coming up with plans. You might feel introverted at this point with your focus on weighing up your options right now as there is a sense that you have two routes you can take, leading to two very different outcomes. On the same day you will likely feel the shift from being very scattered with many fingers in many pies to thinking about what worked previously and how you can draw from experience to get your desired outcome.
Having to juggle your money this month will be irritating to say the least, but from the 21st onwards you will have a much clearer financial outlook and may actually find you have a little more cash in your pocket than first anticipated.
The money theme is echoed through the Full Moon, though in this case it is a spotlight on a shared commodity or commitment. This may be a time where others want to invest in what you have to offer; It’s also a great time to dig into your psychological depths and address issues which until have been obscured from your awareness.

You have a very bountiful start on the 1st of the month where the Moon (your ruling planet) feeds in to the grand water trine creating a powerful outlet for productivity. It might not feel like a light and fluffy day, but there is great potential to channel your hard work into tangible results and working through issues with a partner could bring very positive results. If you have been craving a holiday you may end up booking one and with this combination it looks as though you will opt for a an ocean view! It might also be a time where you adopt a more spiritual outlook. Just be careful not to overdo things as there is a risk of overindulgence.
On the 13th you will feel particularly introverted and more inclined to wanting time alone to process your thoughts. The solstice welcomes Cancer season which is a welcome change of mood for you as the shift of low energy and lethargy breaks forward into vitality. On the same day your money zone gets a boost which might be the time you decide to buy that super-comfy bed you have been promising yourself! Or perhaps you will just find the time to indulge yourself a little.
Mars retrograde gives you a taster of signing on the dotted line before dipping back to check on your end of the deal from the 26th so if you are involved in a mortgage loan or inheritance, it is likely the breaks will be applied so you can go back and assess the legalities to make sure everything it as it should be. It is possible an old flame might turn up during this time.
The Full Moon spotlights your relationship zone echoing the early part of the month. It seems that the plans you put in place during this time will blossom in time for the full moon allowing you to be able to make some serious progress and solid plans with a partner – business or romantic.

You will likely be feeling the impact of Uranus entering Taurus which is unsettling for the fixed signs (that’s you!). However, it might be the perfect time to go inwards and enjoy some serious ‘me time’ and retreat whilst you contemplate some of the challenging issues that you have navigated of late. Intense situations at home are granted a lighter and more harmonious air at the beginning of the month which lifts the pressure of family expectations.

The New Moon is a great time to see friends who share interests or goals with you, rather than rubbing shoulders with acquaintances. On the same day, Venus crosses the threshold into Leo, and you will feel a boost of confidence – it’s likely before that you will have considered going on a diet making little changes to boost your self-esteem a little (perhaps you have met someone who makes you feel like making a little extra effort?)
When the Sun crosses the Solstice point, it moves from a sociable place full of ideas and common interests with others to a place where it feels little out of sorts or under the weather, preferring alone time rather than mingling. This isn’t fitting with Leo’s vibrant, confident persona so down-time might be in order.
The Full Moon at the end of the month puts a spotlight on your daily routine, whether that be a focus on your day job, health or general routine. Feeling the effects of Uranus in your career house at the moment it is likely you are considering a different course of action as far as work is concerned and since Uranus’ ingress to Taurus, you have probably already stated meeting a lot of interesting people who can help you on your way.

Your ruling planet Mercury has spent a lot of time in cerebral Gemini enabling you to juggle many tasks like a pro. With your communication skills and multi-tasking abilities getting an approving nod from others, it would seem you are on top of things. From the 12^th, you will feel a shift into a more single-minded and instigating attitude, and it will probably be hard to hide your emotions. It is a good time to talk about your feelings and express how you are feeling, and you might find you get rather nostalgic, thinking about old friends and those you cared for from your past. The New Moon will give you food for thought relating to your career and public image and it might be that since Uranus entered Taurus, you could be feeling a pull to pursuing a lifestyle which expresses who you are rather than moulding yourself to other people’s expectations. If you’ve been managing a lot of tasks, you might be trying to figure out how to streamline what you do and make it less of a juggling act.

Mars Retrograde on the 26^th will point your focus towards your daily routine. With a growing desire to have autonomy and freedom in what you do, this period for you could be about looking at what really suits you and trying to work in an element of individuality in what you do. It’s probably been a little difficult to ignore with the daily grind testing your patience, but the volatile nature of this transit could have you acting more hastily than you intended – be wary of this! With Mars making a U-turn in this area of your life, you will be re-assessing and re-directing your energy. He will be popping into your house of pleasure, play and children so embrace your need to take this area of your life more seriously – it could lead to an interesting place where you become more independent in your daily activities. Try not to commit yourself to anything during this time.

The Full Moon on the 28^th highlights your sense of fun – with the positive influence you are receiving from Uranus in Taurus you could feel like it is time to take your passions a little more seriously. From the 29^th, you will definitely notice a shift and your thought process and general mental state as you could feel introverted and analytical. It might just be the perfect time to catch up on some sleep!

The month commences with a good fortune and luck blessing you in your career, routine and money zones. It is likely that you have been putting in a lot of hard work and you are beginning to reap the benefits now. If you are applying for work you will be seen in a very favourable light, just be sure that you are aware of what is expected of you on a day-to-day basis.

The New Moon will likely peak your interest in some form of study, with the potential of broadening your horizons. It might not be to boost your professional tool kit – something which involves longer distance travel like a yoga course or even an online course of study could be on your mind. This New moon may expose your limitations and encourage you to do something about them. It’s certainly a time to explore options.

From the Solstice, your career house gets lit up like a Christmas tree as the Sun joins the party really putting your professional and public image under the spotlight. Others will see you as approachable and prepared to put in the extra effort with your professional goals.

Mars retrograde on the 26^th might be a little tricky for you. As he slows down and turns back, you could find yourself thinking about ex partners – and during this time they are likely to get back in touch with you. It could be a matter of tying up some loose ends and do the dreaded ‘stuff’ handover. If you are single, or in a new relationship, you could find yourself thinking about how things once were with a certain somebody. It is possible during this time you meet people who bring out a strong response in you, or you could attract some aggressive types. It’s worth thinking seriously about how you want to progress, and try not to let other people cloud your thoughts at this time.

The Full Moon puts home life in the spotlight for you so it won’t be a surprise after considering Mars retrograde that things at home will be more emotionally charged. It’s time to get a little more serious and observe the rules. If someone isn’t respecting your boundaries, this is the time to address the issue!

Having dealt with the initial rumble of Uranus in Taurus in your relationship house, you have a much softer channel which feeds into your personal sphere at the beginning of the month. Already you will have been feeling the deep transformations in your life which are directly impacting you and though it has been an intense time, you have experienced resonance with your true course in life. You will be able to tap into a poetic and artistic outlook and philosophical ideas. It’s possible you might get the opportunity to travel as a result of this transit. Remember to exercise moderation, but harness this abundance – you might just find yourself in the right place at the right time. An opportunity may present itself to you on the 6th with repercussions which aren’t immediately obvious. Don’t let yourself be overpowered today – harness the enormous persuasion power of the day. The New Moon is a time for you to exploring the psychology books on your bookcase or get into mystery or occult subjects. You might even find yourself drawn to a counselling course or something of that ilk. Whatever seeds you sow at this time you will grow over the coming months so perhaps create a New Moon wish list to track what is on your mind. You will be feel an element of positivity in your work, and will want to put in the extra effort during this time which you are likely to see a return on.

Mars retrograde on the 26th will highlight a flurry with affairs of the heart which will be brought back down to earth. However, the initial foray has already begun, immersing yourself in hobbies, interests and pleasure-seeking activities which make your heart sing. Sometimes this house can signify children and pregnancy, other times it can indicate an affair. It is the house of childlike optimism and joy. Mars backtracks from this house and enters you home and family life once more as he has unfinished business there.

The beginning of the month spotlights how you are feeling in mind, body and soul. This year has felt a little like limbo for you with no real grounding. This has taken its toll on you which has the chance to be addressed now. You might have felt drained with lots of commitments which have just started to ease. With home and shared wealth being highlighted you may become aware of your role in a situation where you have felt stifled or trapped in some way.
The New Moon on the 13th highlights your relationships and has a serious and long term vibe; If you have been thinking about making your partnership more official, now may feel right to you. It’s a great day to network and make connections with people in a professional sense as well as personally. When the Sun crosses the Solstice point on the 21st, commitments and shared possessions will be highlighted, so it might be time to review housing contracts or joint investments. It is also a time where you have added financial attractive power.
Mars retrograde highlights home, finance and your local area so you if you have been scouring your neighbourhood for ideas about where to settle, you might have to go back to the planning phase and start over – your forward focus reaching a few stumbling blocks; in concept your ideas work but in reality, they aren’t practical. Going back and doing things properly will ensure you are spending your energy wisely, and not wasting it on frivolous endeavours. Be really sure of what you want!
This will be backed up by the full moon in Capricorn this month, highlighting possessions and earnings for you. A project which you have dedicated your time and effort to could come into fruition. If not financially then potentially earning the respect of others could lead to other opportunities.

Communications, relationships and friendships are highlighted at the beginning of the month for you Capricorn. With daily work and routine being brought to your attention this June, It is likely you will be adjusting to a new daily pattern. The Summer solstice is the day your relationship zone is highlighted by the Sun (every year, not just this one!) so once your new routine has settled your focus will be drawn to the partnerships in your life, and how these individuals affect you. Uranus’ recent ingress to Taurus will be impacting you in a harmonious way, so the necessary changes are something you are able to accommodate, and understand the necessity of.

Later in the month you will likely be working out your financial situation, trying to work out if a joint venture is worth investing in. It could be that an investment is necessary and you need to start with your down-payments, or perhaps the money will be coming to you to manage. You could be juggling your finances but from the 13th you will have a boost in your financial sector.
Mars retrograde will be affecting you as he slows down and begins his backward dance from Aquarius (a fellow Saturn-ruled sign). Money is highlighted again for you so you will likely have to look at how to balance your books. Meeting up with old friends is also indicated with Mars will have you looking backward at old friendships rather than forward at this time.
The Full Moon will highlight how far you have personally come with the big changes and transformations in your life. It may even highlight some new changes being ushered in, which will have been in the pipeline for about 18 months. It is a time for you to reflect on your own personal journey and congratulate yourself on the many obstacles you have overcome.

During the early part of the month your money, career and routine gets a positive boost, making daily life a pleasure, not a chore. You are likely to feel valued among your colleagues at work, and you could see real chance for growth in what you are doing.

The New Moon guides your subconscious to expressing your unique creative gift. You might not be one for being in the spotlight, but it is still important to do things for the sheer pleasure. Seeing your friends and socialising might be a way to unwind but you might need to indulge in a cerebral activity in order to truly relax. Reading, writing or singing, even! There may even be the opportunity of some romance – enjoy the opportunity to indulge.

Once the Sun passes the solstice point, work will be highlighted and it is likely you have been meeting people who are challenging to work with (perhaps an anti-cheer squad from behind the scenes). Things will feel better at work for a while, but with the big changes occurring in your home life and the depths of your psyche (due to Uranus in Taurus), it might be an easier area of life which could be adjusted to express your happiness more immediately.

Mars has you all fired up and feeling energetic for the most of the month, but could have you suffering from the sniffles at some point if you forget to get some much needed rest. Try not to take on too much at this time as you could burn yourself out. When he enters retrograde motion, you might back-track on a decision you thought you had your mind set on, or you could wish you hadn’t expressed a particular opinion.

The Full Moon that follows could highlight some self-limiting behavior patterns for you, or shed some light on a situation where you feel trapped. It may be difficult to structure what you do at the moment and working towards a longer term goal could leave you feeling in limbo in many areas of your life. Time to check in with yourself and get some much needed rest.

The beginning of the month you will be feeling the benefits of the Grand Water Trine which will give you the ability to tap into a positive perspective, to see the long view and understand how you fit into the bigger picture. You might be thinking about children, or perhaps you are thinking about the completion of a project which you have poured your heart and soul into (your baby).   
The Sun highlights your subconscious in the early part of the month, asking you to acknowledge where you come from and consider how well your current home situation is working for you. Have you made sacrifices to settle in a place that isn’t really you? The solstice coincides with your creativity and passions being ignited. You could suddenly find yourself feeling inspired with the beauty of the season, or perhaps you meet someone that you can muse over. Your ruling planet Neptune goes retrograde on the 18th which will impact on you. It has the ability to turn your vision inwards and put you on a more introspective level. With the New Moon falling on in the home and family part of your chart, you will be sowing the seed for changes and movement in the coming months. Now is the time to start planning a move if you decide that is what you want.

Mars retrograde on the 26th occurs in your slumber zone which will fire up your imagination. Expect some crazy dreams at this time! You could feel very inspired to create and write, or you could just resign yourself to solitude as this can also be a time of low energy.
The Full Moon on the 28th will put your shared ideas and a group project could be highlighted. This is a seriously sociable moon for you so you might need to get out there and meeting people who you can build a vision with.
