astral meanders June 2016

Thought for the month: Give to every human being every right that you claim for yourself.  ~Robert Ingersoll

In General: This month we have Sun in Gemini and as a result, our focus will shift from our simple survival needs to our more complex ideas, thoughts, and communications. June 2016 is a wobbly month, peppered with unsettled activity. The planets that are now transiting Gemini, Sun, Venus, and Mercury, form a cross together with Jupiter Saturn and Neptune.  The planets that transit Gemini will activate significant, extraordinary, at times confusing events. When dealing with a cosmic cross generally we can expect intense happenings, conflicts, and sometimes natural disasters. On the other hand, we can also see transformative reforms, revolutions, positive and constructive developments that can put us back on the right track. These would likely be more visible during the second portion of the month, because on June 26 the Jupiter-Pluto trine is perfected. Also, on June 30 Mars resumes its direct motion again. Now Mars is its strong and positive self once more, enabling barriers to be lifted, goals to become clear, and initiatives to have more coherence and better likelihoods of success. This month has a New Moon in Gemini on June 6, which highlights communication, speaking, writing, education, business, and travel. The Full Moon is on June 20, in sign of Sagittarius. This expansive Full Moon is a great night to deepen wisdom though meditation. If you have a birthday this month then it heralds a big year of transformation. Globally June can be quite transformative too, but the processes can be quite volatile. Locally use the lovely new moon to tidy up your plans for the future and look forward to the future.

Aries

This month Aries’ love life could suffer from impasses, confused situations or unnecessarily intense emotional reactions. Career matters on the other hand are flowing along very nicely! June is a month of ideas and initiatives, intellectual quests and positive creative activity. Also highlighted are business deals, or work-related travels.

 Taurus

Whatever you do this month Taurus don’t rush things! You can make your best decisions at the end of June. You might not yet have all the required components before that time. Lots of extra energy suggests it’s a good time to exercise, work out, dance or go for long walks. Buying and selling are favoured.

Gemini

Venus has moved into Gemini and love and romance take on a more serious and amorous tone! Good things are about to happen in this department! The second part of June is promising for earnings and should bring you some material gain. Overall, it is a month of success and achievements for Geminis.

Cancer

June has boundless creative potential for Cancer. Now you can recuperate talents that have lain dormant or initiatives you abandoned in the past. Your physical and psychological health improves, particularly in the second part of June. However well you feel, however, you should avoid excesses and take care of yourself.

Leo

June is an excellent month for group activities or work in an organization of some sort. Leos are successful in public appearances and have the capability of influencing others. Your projects find supporters easily. Energy levels are unusually high and you will have indomitable confidence.

Virgo

After June Venus is placed in an optimal position for Virgo. It also forms a very harmonious aspect with Jupiter. Romantic opportunities arise, social activity offers positive energy and there is general feeling of harmony, and optimism. There couldn’t be a better month for success in all of 2016!

Libra

The great challenge of June for Libra is connected to finances. With Mars retrograde in Libra’s house of money, you will find there’s risk of mix-ups, delays, unexpected spending, and other irritations in general. At the end of the month, however, Mars resumes its direct motion and things start to flow nicely again.

Scorpio

Scorpions are little more accident prone than usual this month and should be cautious and careful in general. Relationships however are favoured and this are takes on anew and positive importance in your life. It’s a good month to step back and observe and avoid getting involved in conflicts overall.

Sagittarius

June is a great month for Sagittarius where work and career are concerned. It also supports financial dealings well. Relationships are generally peaceful and harmonious. However, it’s a month that requires you to pay attention to health and wellbeing and to deal with any related issues promptly!

Capricorn

This month supports intellectual activity, swiftness of calculation, manual dexterity, and communicational skills. At work, or study, Capricorn shines. Finances improve and you are more than usually charismatic. Love and marriage could be affected by day to day duties and lack of time.

Aquarius

June sees a decrease of energy, blockages, unusual situations, and unforeseen turns. But the term could be good for re-evaluating goals and plans, reorganizing, and revising. It’s a fun month overall! Relationships are highlighted nicely and are likely to experience a resurgence of positive energy.

Pisces

During the first part of June Pisceans’ interests spin around home and family. During the second part of the month, zeal and optimism for life grow. You’ll be full of energy and able to achieve much.  This month however it’s important to avoid excesses and to exercise regularly and work out.

Astral Peeks: planets in June

June 3 - Saturn at Opposition. The ringed planet will be at its closest approach to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. This is the best time to view and photograph Saturn and its moons. A medium-sized or larger telescope will allow you to see Saturn's rings and a few of its brightest moons.

June 5 - New Moon. This is the best time of the month to observe faint objects such as galaxies and star clusters because there is no moonlight to interfere.

June 5 - This is the best time to view Mercury since it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the morning sky. Look for the planet low in the eastern sky just before sunrise.

June 20 - Full Moon.

June 20 - June Solstice. This is the first day of summer (summer solstice) in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of winter (winter solstice) in the Southern Hemisphere.
