Happy Birthday!

Everything is coming up roses for you as the Sun shines in your first house of personality through June 21st. The Full Moon on June 6th will find you very popular indeed as the magnanimous Sun links up with optimistic Jupiter in your first house. If anything, you may have trouble finding time for all your admirers. However, don't expect things to be easy as half the sky faces off between your first house and your seventh house of marriage and partnerships. Some of you may be reaching a turning point in a very significant relationship; those involved in lawsuits and legal action will see them turn in your favor now. After June 21st, the Sun enters your second house of personal finances and values. It may be time for you to take a closer look at your personal resources and to rethink your priorities.

Retrograde Ruler

Intellectual Mercury turns retrograde in your sign on June 4th, urging you to spend more time listening rather than speaking. How you intend to come across and how people actually perceive you may be two very different things this month, so take extra care in your communications with others. You may find yourself in quite a power struggle with a business partner or significant other, especially near the weekend of the 30th. Competition is fierce this month, so you will do well to analyze your strategy. More on Retrograde Mercury.

Quiet Pleasures

Romantic Venus enters Taurus on June 6th, providing soft candlelight in your twelfth house of secrets and solitude. You may find that quiet, secret pleasures are the best of all. Secret doesn't have to mean bad or sneaky; it is the peaceful moments that you spend alone or with one special person that will refresh your soul now. Faith in a higher power will help get you through your darker moments this month, so trust in a Universe that loves you.

Partnerships on Fire

Lusty Mars sets your seventh house of partnerships on fire as it continues to turn retrograde, inspiring both passion, frustration, and competition. If you use this energy wisely, you can accomplish a great deal with your partner. The action should reach a peak mid-month, when Mars and Jupiter face off in opposition. Balance is absolutely necessary for you if you want to succeed. If you are in competition with another, you should be able to improve your skills with the extra energy and drive this transit offers. By the time Mars turns direct on July 19th, you will start seeing the fruit of all your labor. Read more on Retrograde Mars.
