Your June 2008 Horoscope

Aries (3/21 – 4/20) Communication will be a problem at times while Mercury is retrograde. Double-check facts, figures and details as well as appointment times and places. If you plan to travel, try to avoid the time around the New Moon on the 18th as it promises to be a nightmare. Mechanical problems and other delays are possible. Family life is at its best at the Summer Solstice. It’s also a great time to give your place a thorough Spring cleaning!

Taurus (4/21-5/21) Although June promises to be easy going, you’ll again have some financial challenges with Mercury retrograde in your solar 2nd House. Your budget could be stretched at times, and you may have a few unexpected expenses. This is not the time to apply for a loan or mortgage. You need to work on your credit report a bit first. You need to get your home in shape, both inside and out, for the summer months ahead.

Gemini (5/21-6/20) Mercury is retrograde thorough June 19th so you can expect mix-ups and misunderstandings to continue throughout much of the month. That can play havoc with your schedule, but more importantly, you should put significant personal and professional decisions on hold until July. The Spotlight is on YOU! The New Moon in your sign allows you to step into each day with confidence, optimism, and the knowledge that you have what it takes to succeed in any endeavor with which you invest your heart and soul.

Cancer (6/21-7/22) The first three weeks in June accent your inner world and self-renewal. It’s time to review the past eleven months and prepare for a fresh start when the Sun enters your sign on the 21st. Give yourself a health assessment. Schedule routine medical, dental, and eye check-ups after the 19th when Mercury turns direct. After June 20th you will feel a renewal of enthusiasm for life and your personal potential for success. Don’t get overwhelmed, be a standout!

Leo (7/23-8/22) The pressure intensifies now. This is only another stage of a situation that emerged last July and became better defined in the fall. Since then you’ve had major turning points occur in January, April, and May. From June 4 – 22 you’ll be engaged in activities that further resolve the associated issues, with peak events June 17 – 22. You need time to yourself now and then to gain clarity on the issues confronting you, so it’s a good time to plan your schedule. You can economize on time by doing things by yourself that you normally engage in with others present, such as office work (close the door), exercise and spiritual practice. There’s a weakness in your relationship life that you have been trying to resolve since last summer.

Virgo (8/23-9/22) Family life becomes stressful five days before the Full Moon on the 18th. Career tensions are the root cause, but you also may have to deal with mechanical problems and repairs, a difficult roommate, or a relative who needs your help. This is not the month to begin a new living arrangement. Give meditation a try in order to relieve stress. If you have difficulty sitting still, take a daily walk and allow your mind to drift. This moderate exercise will help you to de-stress.

Libra (9/23-10/22) New horizons beckon you at the New Moon on the 3rd as well as the Full Moon on the 18th. You’ll be ready to pack your bags and head off into the unknown. Aim for the first week of June in order to get the best of this alignment. A delay or cancellation will still be possible, however, because Mercury is retrograde until the 19th. The Moon’s movement also encourages you to learn all you can this month, whether on your own, at a conference or seminar, or in a short-term class. Knowledge gained now will come in handy on the job in July.

Scorpio (10/ 23-11/22) You are more focused on our career rather than summer fun, Scorpio. That can trigger stress for you, as well as on the home front. Although the hours will be limited, and you’ll feel stretched, time with family, friends and yourself will be as good for you as it is for them. Unexpected expenses are possible, but you could also net a windfall, raise or bonus. Test your luck in a contest or buy a lottery ticket. You may be the next big winner!

Sagittarius (11/23-12/21) The June energy brings you concern and you will have some important decisions to make this month, Sag. You can use this energy for positive, self-initiating personal change or let the universe hand you what it will, which might not be necessarily to your liking. You get away from it all on June 21st, however this may not be the best time to head out of town. Aim instead for the end of June. Relationships promise to be a major theme all month, and some will inspire you while others stress you.

Capricorn (12/22-1/19) You will feel pushed to the max. That’s a natural consequence of an ambitious nature. You might want to do yourself a favor an take a little time each day to relax and unwind, get a good night’s sleep, and fuel your body with nutritious food. This will help you prevent a summer cold. You may want to apply for a loan or some refinancing, but wait until after the 19th when Mercury turns direct to sign any documents. You could earn a raise or bonus in early June.

Aquarius (1/20-2/18) Fi-nances, although in more positive territory in June, will again present some challenges. Most will be a continuation of last month’s events, although an unexpected expense, possibly due to a mechanical problem, is possible. If you need to replace a computer or appliance, consider an extended warranty, because Mercury will be retrograde until the 19th. Love, romance and a lucky win are possible; be sure to play the lottery. If you’re a parent, or hope to be, you could have a reason to celebrate.

Pisces (2/19-3/20) You can expect family mix-ups and misunderstandings until Mercury turns direct on the 19th. Mechanical problems involving a computer or appliance are possible. Hold off on repair or replacement until the end of June, after Mercury turns direct. After the 18th your social life picks up, as well as heartwarming togetherness with your partner or children. If you’re searching for your soul mate, be alert around June 23rd, when a very special person could walk into your life.
