Aries: Forecast for June 2001

(NOTE: if you know your rising sign, read that sign too, for a balanced forecast. Go to Forecasts)

Very Romantic

The Gemini Sun lights up your third house of communication, siblings, neighbors, and short distance travel through June 21st, keeping you running all around town this month. The Full Moon on June 6th could be very romantic; you may be hearing very sweet words or expressing your affections to someone you care for. However, with Pluto closely connected to the lunation, whatever transpires is likely to be life-changing. News from afar may change your plans and legal issues may come to a head now. After the solstice on June 21st, the Sun moves into cozy Cancer and your fourth house of home and family. Spend the last few days of the month enjoying your own private domain. Read more about the Solstice.

Mercury Retrograde

Intellectual Mercury slows down in your third house of communication and travel, turning retrograde from June 4th to June 28th. This can be a time of confusion and misunderstandings, so be sure to keep your records straight and to read all instructions carefully. Don't promise more than you can deliver on or around June 19th, when mental and literal traffic jams keep you from completing your work on time. This is a good month to spend analyzing how you present yourself to others. Think very carefully before you speak, and ask yourself these three questions... Is it true, is it necessary, and is it kind? Read more on Mercury Retrograde.

Golden Goose

With fruitful Venus in your second house of finances, you may feel like the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg this month. Your resources will increase and your bills can be paid off if you refrain from going on a spending spree. Your friends may need your financial assistance, but it is better that you make a gift rather than a loan. Differences in personal values may cause problems between you and an associate... you will need to refrain from passing judgment unless you want to bring bad karma into the relationship. On the 30th, you may decide that it is time to walk away from someone who is taking more than they give.

Accidents and Disagreements

Most of the planets face off this month in your houses of travel both near and far, so watch out for fender benders and more serious accidents this month. Disagreements with others about religion and philosophic ideals may ruin otherwise pleasant occasions. With Mars retrograde until July 19th, you'll need to exercise a great deal of patience in all your ninth house matters. Pending legal issues and educational matters will be frustrating for you, but you have a chance to improve your strategy and make long term plans as you wait for the light to turn green again.

Jun 1: Sharing And Caring

The sociable Libra Moon lights your seventh house of marriage and partnerships, favoring time spent with your most significant other.

Favorable colors are mauve and coral. Lucky numbers are 7 and 16.

Jun 2: Romantic and Passionate

Today has the potential to be very romantic and passionate if you can avoid being too opinionated and forceful. Not to suggest that you are ever too opinionated and forceful, dear Ram... but you certainly won't want to be today.

Lucky numbers are 18 and 27.

Jun 4: Tension Headaches

Stress at work may cause tension headaches early in the day, so take your pain medication with you. Mercury turns retrograde today, so expect traffic jams, mix ups, snafus, and bungles to abound.

Jun 6: Full Moon

Tension may be building in your life as the Full Moon culminates in conjunction with Pluto. There are many forces at odds right now, so move forward slowly and with caution.

Jun 11: Telepathy

Mental telepathy seems to connect you and your closest friends, neighbors and siblings as the Moon, Uranus, and retrograde Mercury combine.

Jun 12: Deep Reflection

Seek deep reflection as the changing Moon drifts into your twelfth house of solitude today.

Jun 21: New Moon

With the introspective New Moon activating your fourth house of home, family and past experiences, you may enjoy quiet thoughts today.

Lucky numbers are 24 and 29.

Jun 22: Home and Hearth

With the Sun firmly in Cancer and your fourth house of home and family, it is time to put more energy into domestic matters.
