June 2014 horoscope - Aries

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope for birthdays from 14th April to 15th May or Aries Ascendants or Moons

Aries, first of all, June is certainly a money month for you on a number of levels. You have Venus, the planet that rules your money (and relationships) still in your sign, ensuring you attract not only relationships but also the opportunity to make money to you. Amongst all the things that have happened in your relationships, at work and around your health, money has not been on your mind to a very large extent this year but this month, as you always do in June and July, your finances are in the spotlight. So, for the first half of June, you may be spending a bit more on yourself and your partner, you’re beautifying yourself so to speak, making sure you look and feel good. Some Aries are also keen to get back in shape and perhaps you tackle that with quite a bit of vigour, energy and competitiveness. In any case, a certain money matter is wrapped up this month around the time of the full Moon this month which takes place on 12th June. For you, this means, other people’s money, your partner’s resources, his family money, your inheritance, insurance and tax matters are all being completed. Some Aries natives are also wrapping up a psychological process, letting go of some emotional conflict that you have been pondering for some time. Think about what began in mid-December 2012 and you get the idea. For others, this is very much related to the home – in preparation of Jupiter’s arrival in this house!

This full Moon is in the nakshatra of Jyestha and is ruled by the planet Mercury. Under the influence of Jyestha, we seek to be the best in whatever we do and we may well achieve this but mainly through our own efforts. This puts you at an advantage in whatever area the full Moon falls and hence, you can reap the rewards for your efforts. However, with the sign of Scorpio involved here others' jealously can be part of the picture with this placement.

In terms of your relationships, this is the month to make things solid. After so many months of almost hardship and very, very slow progress, you are now having the make or break type of conversations with your partner. Luckily, Venus in your sign makes you more compromising and tolerant of others needs – although having said that, this is probably because others are quite keen to please you at the moment! Perhaps this is a result of you expressing how you feel so that others know where they stand with you. Over the past year, many of you have learnt to approach relationship matters in a new way, use different ways and communication channels to get your point across and this month, you can apply this newly acquired skill. It’ll be a busy month, there is a lot of coming and going, new people, new ideas and information that you’ll have to digest and some of it related to relationships and your feelings.

Now, the big news for June is that Jupiter changes signs on 19th and moves into Cancer. Jupiter feels extraordinarily comfortable in this sign and promises a year of abundance, optimism and expansion in the area in the chart it travels trough. For you, this primarily and simply means a house move or an expansion of your current home. Jupiter in Cancer and in one of the fourth house is one of the most auspicious placements in the chart and makes for a stable, reliable and comfortable home environment. During this transit, you are likely to feel a lot closer to your family – some may not only be building a home in whatever sense of the word that means but some may also be expanding their family. In any case, you’ll feel protected by those around you including your partner.

In the meantime, Mercury is going retrograde from 7th until 30th June. This happens in the area of your chart to do with your siblings, your own efforts, training, new skills, writing, communication and short-term travel. So while Mercury in retrograde can mean misunderstandings and re-thinking something, it is particularly true in your case. In the house of travel, really double-check the times, dates and that you booked your flight to the right destination! It’s also the house of planning, deal making, meetings and admin, so double-check you have all the documents and the equipment you need. The new Moon in Gemini on 27th June in this area introduces a new cycle of thinking, communicating and planning ahead. There is information you need and forms you need to fill in, now is the time to do so. The only word of warning is that Mars, your ruler, is opposing Uranus exactly on this day but hopefully, you will be able to put the communication lessons learnt over the past year to good use instead of flying off the handle…just sayin...

Have a great month Aries, it's the beginning of a summer full of shifts and change.

June 2014 horoscope - Taurus

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope for birthdays from 16^th May to 15^th June of Taurus Ascendants and Moons

Taurus, the month begins with the Sun still in your sign, giving you a new lease of life, energy, attention and therefore a certain sense of security from feeling loved and wanted. During this time you’ll enjoy spending time at home, with your family and you tend to all sorts of matters around the house. Perhaps you’re getting it ready for a party or you’re preparing your garden for summer. You enjoy making your home the centre of your attention at the moment. And, surprisingly, you will do so with quite a bit of vigour! But this also means that you have a little downtime and a bit of time to think about the past year and what is coming your way in the next few months. Your ruler, Venus, is still in Aries, the sign before yours, so although a lot is happening around you and your home, you, yourself are at times in a place other than those around you – meaning that you day dream quite a bit. Well, it’s your way at the moment to regain some energy that those around you demand from you. Once Venus enters your sign on 19^th June, you’ll be back in your element, hosting dinner parties, cooking for your family, beautifying yourself and most certainly going on a bit of a shopping spree.

Talking about spending money, Jupiter in your house of income and involved in the Grand Cross has been a contagious issue and not always easy to handle. Jupiter here has given you the opportunity to increase your bank account but may have also make you spend more than you had at your disposal or has made you overly confident of how much money you actually have at your disposal. For others, Jupiter as part of the heavy oppositions and squares, has caused some family dramas. So, this month, money matters are still on your mind and something you deal with but with an opportunity rather than an obstacle attached to it. Although Mercury is going retrograde from 7^th until 30^th June in your money house, it just means you simply discover another layer or a piece of information that was previously missing before you can cross the Ts and dot the Is on a contract, mortgage deal or insurance claim. Once the new Moon in Gemini on 27^th June in your house of money, a new cycle is introduced that kicks-starts new developments to do with money primarily and contracts, deals, your own business perhaps as well as house and home secondarily.

However, the big news this month, and perhaps for some Taureans it’s a blessing, is that Jupiter changes signs on 19^th June and moves into Cancer. Jupiter feels extraordinarily comfortable in this sign and promises a year of abundance, optimism and expansion in the area in the chart it travels trough. Some of the keywords associated for you with this transit are expanding communication channels, spending time with your siblings and with people in your community, your neighbours and people in your sports club, attending a (cooking) course, learning a new skill and making new friends along the way, new ways of making money. This is good news for those who, after a year of trying to get investors on board, are now ready to launch their own business and float their own idea.

So, money matters are one thing you are dealing with and relationships the other. Romance has been a frustrating thing over the past months with lovers keeping you at arms’ length or being preoccupied with other things. Now that the planet Mars is pressing ahead in the area of your chart to do with romance (and children) and the full Moon taking place in your opposite sign and your commitment sector, it’s full steam ahead. Some of you can fall in love head over heels, others see their partner for who they are and decide to move on or have an open chat with your partner. The singles amongst the Taureans are ready to open up, commit and change their attitude and how they go about meeting someone new. In any case, the spotlight is on relationships mid-month and think about what began in mid-December 2012 – something is being wrapped up and completed now. This is the last full Moon for another before Saturn moves into your relationship sector in November, forcing you to face issues head on, make a decision and commit, so you’ll do well to let go of what is not working now, even if it is just an attitude or expectation that has proven your downfall in the past. If not, Saturn will make it all the harder in a few months time.

This full Moon is in the nakshatra of Jyestha and is ruled by the planet Mercury. Under the influence of Jyestha, we seek to be the best in whatever we do and we may well achieve this but mainly through our own efforts. This puts you at an advantage in whatever area the full Moon falls and hence, you can reap the rewards for your efforts. However, with the sign of Scorpio involved here others' jealously can be part of the picture with this placement.

June 2014 horoscope - Gemini

I follow the Vedic calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope for birthdays from 16^th June to 15^th July or Gemini Ascendants and Moons

Happy birthday Gemini! This year around your birthday, you are most likely looking back onto a year that was like no other of our life. Your relationships, how you interact with others, your career and the people around you all changed shape, size and gained in numbers and in opportunity. As challenging as it was, it is likely that you now acknowledge how rewarding it has been at the same time. This month, you are determined to start the new solar year with a bang as things are about to shift. You begin the month with your ruler, Mercury, in your sign, ensuring you get our point across, that you are heard and even that people follow your lead. When the ruler is in your own sign, the innate qualities of the sign get enhanced and flow the way they should. In your sign, it’s you chatty and light-hearted nature that attracts people to you. With Jupiter still (!) in your sign until mid-month, relationships and in fact, any one-to-ones with other people remain a central part of your focus and bringing someone special into your life remains your heart desire. At the beginning of the month you still have the chance to do so – people are watching you and with all your romance and relationship areas accentuated, you’re spoilt for choice.

Now, in the past, this is what you may have wanted, a bit of distraction here, a new influence there, another person’s admiration over there. However, romance in recent months has turned into serious business and in June, with your ruler, Mercury, going retrograde from 7th until 30th June, you are rethinking your options. You need time to reflect and take a step back and even though you more than most signs value your independence and free-spirited nature, you want to make sure you are making the right choice romantically. Partners have been demanding on you in the past months and now you want a breather and think things through. This is one option that’s happening.

For other Geminis out there, your home may turn into your place of work this month and you either take on a refurbishing project or you make other changes to your home environment. Perhaps people from your past turn up at your doorstep for a get together reminiscing about the good old days.

In any case, this is a busy time for you, a lot of planning, admin and paper work land on your desk that you need to work through. By the end of the month, around the time of the new Moon in your sign on 27^th June you’ll be done with all of that and it’s time to focus on how to best turn your skills into money. A lot of Gemini’s are very creative and the coming twelve months are your once in a twelve year opportunity to hugely increase your bank balance. This ‘gain’ can comes from working with others – also from a marriage! – your creative skills, your writing and communication abilities and your sense for sealing the deal good and proper.

All of this expansive energy comes from Jupiter changing signs on 19^th June when he moves into your house of income. Jupiter feels extraordinarily comfortable in this sign and promises a year of abundance, optimism and expansion in the area in the chart it travels trough. So, yes, this transit is one that has the potential to fill your purse to the prim but it’s also one that turns your relationships upside down. And this of course can mean a marriage from some Gemini’s while others are changing their expectations around partnerships and some are experiencing their current partner undergoing some sort of transformation. In any case, whereas this time last year, you began to see yourself and identify yourself strongly with another person and with being part of a relationship – or having to work things out in certain partnerships – your liaisons are now simply moving on to the next stage.

The full Moon this month takes place on 12^th June in Scorpio in your house of daily routines and health. So if the past few months have taken their toll – and they most likely will have done – then it’s time to distress! Book a spa weekend, try and dig out your gym membership card that in all those ‘action-packed’ first few months of the year you have not had the chance to swipe through once. And do it quick – a few days after, when the Sun is in your sign, you’re your usual busy self again, chatting, brainstorming and running from A-B-C in the speed of light.

This full Moon is in the nakshatra of Jyestha and is ruled by the planet Mercury. Under the influence of Jyestha, we seek to be the best in whatever we do and we may well achieve this but mainly through our own efforts. This puts you at an advantage in whatever area the full Moon falls and hence, you can reap the rewards for your efforts. So, do get that gym membership card out, will ya’…

Have a great month, Gemini, it's the beginning of a summer full of shifts and change!

June 2014 horoscope - Cancer

I follow the Vedic calendar; this is the monthly solar horoscope for birthdays from 16^th July to 15^th August or Cancer Ascendants and Moons

Cancer, as the Sun travels through the sign before yours, as he does every year at this time, you wrap things up, you contemplate the achievements of the past 12 months and you think about the next 12 months ahead. This occurs every year and it is a time to mediate, withdraw and simply enjoy the sunshine. I have the image of you in a hammock, dangling your feet in the sun – that’s exactly what you should be doing now after a year of increasing self-awareness, you working behind the scenes on some project, educating yourself and learning to rely more on your intuition than you have done for a long time. Now, brace yourself Cancer, you’re hitting the big times!

Jupiter finally moves into your sign on 19th June and this is the best birthday present you could ask for. Jupiter feels extraordinarily comfortable in your sign and promises a year of abundance, optimism and expansion in the area in the chart it travels trough. Some of the keywords associated for you with this transit are transformation, transformation, transformation, abundance of luck and optimism, creativity, travel, wisdom and transformation! This is a year where you attract luck to you, simply due to your positive expectations that in the end, it’ll all work out the way you had hoped. You are exceptionally generous with those around you during this time which attracts people to you that are as buoyant as you are, as optimistic and uplifting. Needless to say that this can have a fabulous impact on your career and marriage prospects.

The first house is also the area of your chart that rules the body, so all the ease with which you travel through life’s continual ups and downs can make you a little lazy or easy-going let’s say, when it comes to exercise – so watch the weight. But those Cancerians who are planning to have children, should give it a go now!

In the meantime, Mercury is going retrograde from 7th until 30th June. This happens in the area of your chart to do with letting go, your dreams, your intuition and foreign countries. This means that you could be going back to a place you’ve visited in the past and where you feel you can relax best. Within the many layers of aspects and planetary placements, a distinct possibility is also that you will be travelling for work this month and / or revisit a business idea that you’ve had but which never quite got off the ground over the past seven or so months. In June you’ll discover a few more layers and bits of information that prove valuable before your big idea, project or plan is being unveiled for all the world to see over the summer months – or winter months for those in the Southern hemisphere.

The full Moon this month takes place on 12th June in Scorpio in your house of creativity, children, romance and fun. Sometimes it’s great how astrology works and how it all seems to match up. Whatever project you’ve been working on, whether it’s of the creative kind, for example, or whether you have been planning a pregnancy, this full Moon coincides with Jupiter’s arrival in your sign and highlights the end of a time of preparation and working behind the scenes and now shoves whatever it is you’ve been working on into the open for all to see and admire. Think about what began in mid-December 2012 and you’ll get the idea.

This full Moon is in the nakshatra of Jyestha and is ruled by the planet Mercury. Under the influence of Jyestha, we seek to be the best in whatever we do and we may well achieve this but mainly through our own efforts. This puts you at an advantage in whatever area the full Moon falls and hence, you can reap the rewards for your efforts. However, with the sign of Scorpio involved here others' jealously can be part of the picture with this placement. But as you wrap up the month, proud of your achievements, other people’s jealousies may just be a sweet reminder for yourself of how much you actually deserve what’s coming your way soon. 

Have a great month Cancer, it's the beginning of a summer full of shifts and change.
