June Horoscope 2013

Whew!  We made it through May!  Well, not so quick… June will have the last word on events in May.  It may feel like one step forward, two steps back! 
The lunar eclipse on May 25 was squaring Neptune, but Neptune was trining Saturn.  Did we go into denial or have we decided to do something about it?  For the month of June Neptune and Saturn will remain in a trine position which will be exact on June 12.  Saturn and Neptune were also trine back on Oct 10th 2012 and they will kiss again this July. The worldly (Saturn) and the otherworldly (Neptune) are working together. Saturn in Scorpio is reforming and Neptune in Pisces is idealistic and spiritual.  Together they can make dreams possible.  And so this month, we will start to see money going into the hands of the dreamers and idealists.  Medical discoveries will be aided especially in illnesses that have eluded us, spirituality will be brought into the word of structure and corporations, and things will happen that some never thought (and sadly still might not think) possible.  Change will happen, but only if we have had the guts to move forward.  For those of us daring to dream, here’s some advice… Stop listening to the naysayers!!!
 
Neptune and Saturn get some extra help with cameo appearances from Mercury and Venus.  Mercury will form a grand trine with the two on June 3 and will help with communicating our ideas and visions.  Also, the communications we make will resonate with others better on this day. 
June 7 is a bit of a complicated day.  Neptune turns retrograde making its dreaminess and idealism even more meta as Venus forms a grand trine with these guys.  Love does matter, especially the nurturing and caring kind, and will aid in making things possible.  But on the same day, Mars conjunct Pallas and the moon are squaring Neptune.  Used poorly, it will make us want to act in haste and want to defend our cause.  Used constructively, we can attract some real supporters.  Which way you go will all depend on the level of consciousness you are operating from.  Do you believe in love, magic and miracles?  Then there is no need to push!  
Mercury and Venus then trigger the Uranus Pluto square; first, with some emotional words from Mercury on the 8th.  Mercury also rules the New Moon on the same day, so a proclamation of new beginnings related to some form of social change may be made; a couple of days later an outer “crab-like” shell on love and finance emanating from Venus and may mean no love for institutions such as governments, school systems and the church. When mama ain’t happy, nobody is happy!
Jupiter is entering into Cancer on June 25, just days after summer begins and will be in that sign for the next year.  Jupiter expands and brings optimism to whatever it touches, so in Cancer, we can expect tradition, nurturing and family values to increase.  The home, taking care of our loved ones and good home-cooked meals will be the focus.  This would be a great time for a family reunion or researching the family tree.  However, Mercury is going retrograde on June 26, also in the sign of Cancer and may cause some miscommunication with family.  If you are planning any of these great family ideas, you may want to wait until the end of July or August.  Unless of course, you want to have some good stories about what uncle Fred did at the BBQ or start family feuds over who got overlooked on the invitations. 

Aries

 Big changes have been happening in how you present yourself.  Your personal power and public standing are getting the cold shoulder from your family this month, but you can work with them to aid you as you delve deep into the recesses of yourself.  It’s your family heritage and tradition that will help you to tap into intuitive realms.

Taurus

 Your partner and your friends have been real supporters.  Your siblings or neighbours will chime in to really support you this month.  On the other hand, these same folks can be a real pain in the butt, challenging your beliefs and challenging all that unconscious stuff you’ve been trying to keep down under the surface.

Gemini

 Your friendships and intimacies are starting to look really different.  Hiccups with money seem to be part of the picture. Well, money can really highlight the sincerity of both these groups… or your sincerity towards them.  For some reason news about work and career can work for you but against them.  Try to work towards the best of both worlds.  You can have both love and career.

Cancer

 Whether you’re giving the cold shoulder or words of support, you personal power will make ripples publicly and possibly with open enemies.  Not to worry.  Your actions are still appreciated, supporting new beliefs and ideologies… and the children, which have always been important to you!

Leo

 The first part of the month you are quite your normal social Leo, but as the month moves on you move more and more into the shadows.  Leo, it’s not like you to hide out, but hide out you will.  Strangely enough, an undercover love affair may help you to explore the depths of your mind.  Just make sure it doesn’t clash with your work and loosens your grip on your beliefs.

Virgo

 A short trip with your honey may help inspire your hopes and dreams – even if those same hopes and dreams seem to clash with your shared resources and having fun.  Ugh!

Libra

 As if having your family and your partner breathing down your neck wasn’t enough, now you’ve also got some tension from your career.  Take heart because those same career problems can be the magic formula for making more money and working at the things you have been dreaming about for a while. You hate conflict Libra, but if you rise above it, big things can happen.

Scorpio

 Your work and day to day surroundings are changing. You may receive some challenges from overseas or maybe your studies will start to clash with these areas. These same challenges will support your self-expression and creativity, which is what the world needs at this point.

Sagittarius

 You may have been experiencing difficulties as a result of the gambles you’ve made with money but your intuition is supporting you this month.  And though you may have experienced losses, you can trust the universe for support.  You may also be able to count on your family and strangely enough, the bank. It’s all in your approach.

Capricorn

 All kinds of relationships seem to be there for you – your friends, your neighbours and even some surprises from your honey, although your honey might be coming across hot and cold.  Take the best and leave the rest.

Aquarius

 You have some amazing work ideas and you’re a bit more loving and nurturing than you normally are which has you noticing the difference it makes on your career and ability to make money.  This communicative mushiness is playing a number on your subconscious structures and your day to day dealings.  Don’t worry.  It may feel uncomfortable, but it’s all good.

Pisces

 Money and friends might have been the source of some grief and you might experience some blocks in terms of creativity.  Let yourself have fun though.  It’s through having fun that your high ideals and self- expression will work for some amazing outcomes.

May Horoscope 2013

April showers bring May flowers we never even knew existed!  April was quite an emotional month with a lunar eclipse towards the end and May has some more eclipses in store – a solar eclipse on May 9 and another lunar eclipse on May 25.  In addition, there is a third Pluto Uranus square in the series of five, happening from 2012 to 2015.  This is one jam-packed and eventful month!
The solar eclipse on May 9 is conjunct Pallas and Mercury in Taurus.  Pallas is good at seeing patterns and Mercury is good at communicating them.  The combination with the eclipse in Taurus brings a creative intelligence that helps us to kinesthetically ‘get it’.  Areas that we will wake up to include the earth, how we treat the earth, what we value in our lives and what we say and how we say it.  This solar eclipse is sure to bring the consciousness awakening release that it promises. 
Pallas then moves into Gemini as does a host of other planets.  This year, the planets are moving together creating quite an impact in each sign as they move.  So as we move through the month, Venus will arrive in Gemini, followed by Mercury, the Sun, Pallas and finally, Mars.  Together in Gemini they are very chatty and they work together to help us to ‘get it’– heart, mind and spirit.
As mentioned, Uranus is squaring Pluto this month.  Ceres and Vesta come into the line of fire with these two; Ceres between May 5 and 7, close to the solar eclipse and Vesta on May 23, close to the lunar eclipse.  Uranus and Pluto have been moving back and forth in the skies and made two exact squares last year and will make several more in the coming years.  This is the third square in the sequence.  The last two have been blamed for the ‘Arab Spring’ and extreme frustration of youth, the fall of dictators and for much seemly senseless violence.  Pluto is associated with deep transformation and sometimes death and is in Capricorn, a sign that is associated with large institutions such as the government, financial systems, power and authority.  Uranus, the planet of upheaval and surprises is in fiery Aries.  It’s a tension that blows through like the Tasmanian devil and together the two seem to be calling for deep and transformative social, political and institutional change.This month, as these two square each other again, they also oppose and square Ceres, the mother Goddess Asteroid, which is moving through the sign of Cancer.  Ceres in Cancer is true mothering and nurturing.  If you were a latch-key kid of the 70s and 80s you missed it and if you were a Generation Y’r of the 90s and beyond, you probably got too much of it.  What is the fine balance here?  Before we find it we may need to work through all of those destructive ways we have been nurturing ourselves in one extreme or another.  For instance, the way our institutions are structured may be causing gaps in the way we are able to nurture.  After all, the fact that school hours don’t match up with work hours gave rise to the latch-key kid.  On a societal level, the bureaucracy and instructional ways in which we deal with issues of nurturing, from world famine to the use of pesticides and the artificial ways that we mass produce our food may come into question.  How much time our children are nurtured by others such as in daycare, or by things such as video games and iPads or 24-hour TV may also come into serious question.On an individual level, our imbalanced ways of nurturing ourselves may create a crisis. Things to watch for could be as extreme as binging,anorexia or bulimia or as simple as choosing fast food rather than cooking a nutritious meal.  Why do we do these things?  Solar eclipses are about new beginnings, so whatever happens will be sure to bring a flash of insight and will set the pace for a new way of being.  It may look bad in the beginning, but it sets the stage for a potential new and healthier way of life.
Later in the month as Uranus and Pluto move closer to their exact square, Vesta will also be in on the picture.  Vesta is the Asteroid Goddess energy associated with the keeper of the sacred flame.  She is dedication and can be dedication to the extreme.  In the sign of Cancer she is also concerned with the family and ideas of nurturance.Those who do not fit or feel at home may come across like rebels without a cause or may use personal power inappropriately.  Hunger strikes or suicide bombing to prove a point could be the worst, but can just as easily be acted out by having a string of sex partners without a condom.  How we integrate others, allow for diversity and create a place that feels like home and is love is calling for attention and reaches critical mass this month.
Finally, the lunar eclipse on May 25 is in Sagittarius and makes a square to Neptune.  This has been a heavy duty month.  Earlier eclipses have been releasing lots of emotions and have brought important information to consciousness; so has the Pluto Uranus square.At this eclipse we may we may convince ourselves that smoking weed brings us closer to God and is helping us in our understanding… but is it?  Beliefs and perceptions can be easily distorted at this time and escapism can be twisted to look like we are actually dealing with the situation.  Marx once said that “religion is the opiate of the people”… the point is that with Neptune the truth is always in the spaces between the concrete.  This is a tricky one, so exercise, routine and keeping a clear, perhaps even meditative mind, may be a better route. 

Aries

 You’re starting to see the connection between how you spend resources and how it reflects your inner worth.  Deep changes are happening within yourself that reflect on your career and just how sweet “home sweet home” is.  If your plants at work are lush and the ones at home are dying, this may be sending you a strong message.  Pay attention to the message contained within your surroundings.

Taurus

 The changes you have been making will all quickly become apparent.  Maybe you’ve been losing weight and it’s been happening for a while, but all of a sudden everyone notices.  Whatever changes are happening and are being noticed will prompt you to want to spend some of your hard earned cash on yourself to match.  Just remember that sometimes as we change on the inside and out, others in our lives may start acting weird. Instead of taking a “that’s their problem” attitude, working with them to adjust to your changes can ease things considerably.

Gemini

 For the first part of the month, your mind is racing and so are your dreams – that’s if your mind isn’t keeping you from sleeping.  What you value and what you’re passionate about seems to be changing; or perhaps the real you is emerging.  As you allow parts of you to step out this month others find you irresistible, even on the platonic level.  There is something still brewing in behind the scenes that is giving you that allure.

Cancer

 You have a caring and loving heart, Cancer.  You may feel yourself acting like mama bear protecting her cub this month.  It may feel at times like fun times have come to an end or that it’s an uphill struggle.  Not to worry; friends and acquaintances will help you along your path and it may even feel sometimes like you have a guardian angel working behind the scenes on your behalf.  Your voice is heard and you find much fulfillment in humanitarian endeavours.

Leo

 Your career is taking off this month.  You are being seen as the leader you feel that you truly are within. Even though this is happening, you’re feeling a bit nervous as you draw on your spiritual convictions and sense of purpose.  It’s important to withdraw to find your balance and to make sure you’re balancing your work and your home.  This month finds you on the path to your true hopes and dreams.

Virgo

 You’re deeply philosophical and questioning everything this month.  You feel you must do something and this can have you seriously considering a career that takes you abroad or maybe back to school.  Maybe you’ve been deeply affected by an experience romantically or with your children that has set you down this path.  Whatever the case, you may find your surrounding and your day to day change, or something happens that gives you the conviction to change it.

Libra

 “My barn having burned to the ground, I can now see the moon.”   This is a Chinese proverb that you will deeply resonate with this month.  Experiences are deeply transformative and even though you may have to shell out some cash or go to bat legally or politically to replace that barn, you will find enlightenment in having glimpsed that moon.

Scorpio

 You’re taking your relationships to new levels.  You’re talking, getting the deeper or larger picture of it all and doing something about it.  There is no in between in the action of what you do – it’s either going deeper or getting out.  If you are going in deeper, you will find this month deeply intimate. If you are getting out, it will be just as intense.

Sagittarius

 Not one to sit still, still this may be a month that has you focused on your health.  If you are overdoing it, you may need to slow down.  Or maybe you need a food and exercise schedule to pull you out of that funk.Better yet, maybe it’s a bit of TLC that will do the trick.There may be something to that Marvin Gay song about ‘sexual healing’.

Capricorn

 You may experience an ‘aha’ that will help you see the pattern you have been repeating in your love life.  How you’re nurtured and how much you give and receive in your all of your relationships is experiencing huge transformations.  This is because you have been experiencing huge transformations in who you are.  This is not always an easy experience, but your confidence will be really showing in your work and contribution.

Aquarius

 Is this the third time you’ve moved in two years? Something in your surroundings is changing yet again and it looks like this time it’s your home.  Maybe you’re moving, renovating, you’re having a child or a child is moving back in.  Whatever the case, there is lots of activity in your home this month.  Just make sure you have marked off an area in your home for an inner sanctuary.  This is a time in your life when you need it.

Pisces

 You feel the most happy at home this month.  You will feel motivated to make your surroundings comfortable and may even take up an online course rather than venture out.  You may just as easily invite others over for dinner parties or afternoon teas.Approaching things in this manner may help you to get to know you neighbours and forge new relationships right from the comfort of your own home

April Horoscope 2013

Ceres moves into Cancer this month on April 4th.  This is a very nurturing and emotional expressive place for the Mother Goddess Asteroid to-be.  Pallas has just arrived in Taurus and will be joined by Venus on the 15th and will be followed by the Sun and Mars to a total of four bodies in the earthy sign of Taurus by the end of the month.  The earth, security and status quo, and emotions will be the focus for the month of April!

Spring officially started on March 19th but spring fever starts on Saturday night, April 6th.  Venus, still in Aries, makes a love connection to her favourite male planet Mars igniting some hot passion.  Bedrooms and dance floors should be electric with this passionate energy.  Venus moves into Taurus on April 15th where she loves to be.  Here, she is at home in a sensual, aesthetic surrounding.  Here she brings out our enchanting and feminine aspects.  She touches Neptune on the 18th creating a romantic and dreamy environment.  Feelings of insecurity and defensiveness pop up on the 22nd when she opposes Saturn, but a couple of days later she trines Pluto reigniting the passion felt at the beginning of the month; but this time in a more committed, sensual and transformative way.

There is a lunar eclipse in April.  It happens on April 25th. Full moons are always times of completion, but with a lunar eclipse, the completions tend to be a big deal.  This happens on a societal level, but also on a personal level if the moon touches any planets in your birth chart.  Full moons are emotional, lunar eclipses are even more emotional.  A lunar eclipse in Scorpio, an emotional water sign, makes it even more emotional and then to add to it, this lunar eclipse forms a grand trine (triangle in the sky) with Ceres, the Mother Goddess Asteroid, and Neptune, the dreamy planet of the unconscious. This is an eclipse that is seeking emotional release in a big way!  The lunar eclipse is conjunct Saturn.  Emotional control will only result in loneliness, but this is a moon that fears vulnerability.  Saturn there alongside the moon is calling for us to question how emotionally authentic we are.  The lunar eclipse is also opposing a stubborn Mars in Taurus who may be irritated by a change, but the grand trine acts like a cosmic bear hug, encouraging us to let go and ensuring us that we can get through it.  On the same day, Pallas and Venus join in Taurus. Together, these two care very much about the beauty and protection of mother earth and feminine power.  They are sextiling Chiron, the wounded healer, making healing easier, but squaring Juno, the Marriage Goddess Asteroid.  That old issue of women meeting their needs for creativity and contribution come up against relationship needs.  You might again start to ponder those old questions.  Can you have a career and a family?  Is it really true that you can have it all, but not all at once?  You may have a defeated feeling that we have not left the 17th century.  Fear not… these are all just feelings!  Work through them and we will all come to the other side.  Venus and Pallas in Taurus help us to challenge those old “either/or” ideas about feminism, helping us to hold on to our true femininity and to also be powerful.

Pluto goes retrograde on April 12th.  What just happened?  We’ll retrace our steps to go deeper into the transformation that is happening.  Pluto is in Capricorn and is transforming the institutions in our lives. Governments, family, marriage, education and our world economics are experiencing this transformation and so are we in the institutions of our minds.

Aries

 A lunar eclipse in your eighth house this month could mean deep a transformation in your life.  Your self-worth and sense of financial security will be challenged.  But support comes from family, foundations and deep wells of your unconscious.  Heal this and you will transform your intimacies.

Taurus

 Something in your significant relationships is seeking closure this month.  Not one to change once you’ve made up your mind, you may feel like digging your heels in.  You may not even realize that neighbours and friends are gaining up on you.  They won’t be hurling harsh words at you.  Instead, their love and forgiveness throw a spin on things, taking you out of your comfort zone.

Gemini

 I hope you’ve been taking care of yourself, Gemini.  Work, career and money will come together to help bring healing.  Your restless nature can sometimes miss the deep messages from the unconscious and you may want to push them down.  Allowing it to happen can give you just the right information to create a much needed healing crisis. Get to the other side of this and you will feel fantastic.

Cancer

 Taking a vacation in a distant land that has you focused on yourself and having some real fun can bring real healing.  There is a conflict with your own sense of hopes and wishes, or maybe your friends are stubbornly pulling you in a direction that doesn’t serve your purposes.  Do what you know is best and you and what feeds your sense of recreation.

Leo

 You’re closing the book on a family matter, Leo.  Part of you has already moved forward blazing into your career, but there is just a little more work to do to clear the air.  Secrets and close intimate ties will work together to help you with your completion.

Virgo

 Your already established beliefs this month might get you into trouble. You religious or ethical zeal is coming up against an issue in your immediate environment.  Partners and friends seem to be against you. But it’s for your own good. Pluto’s retrograde motion through your fifth house of fun and romance will start questioning everything you thought you knew on love.

Libra

 The money that you share with others, a business deal or maybe even the money from your spouse will be challenged this month.  If you’re going through a divorce or dissolving a business – not to worry. Something about how this all unfolds will not only be the best thing ever, but actually have you moving in the right direction.  Call it a course correction.

Scorpio

 Something is not working in your relationships. But is it really?  Or is the problem something inside of you? This month, you will get very clear on who you are.  This bolt of insight might come while expanding your mind in the pages the latest new age book.  Maybe you discover that ego is not such a bad word or that needy and having needs are two different things. Unleashing your creativity can help give you that much needed aha moment.

Sagittarius

 Don’t let work get in the way of your spiritual development this month.  You have the opportunity to go deep.  Allow things to bubble to the surface and you might find yourself wondering if you are a little bit psychic.  Don’t doubt that you know that you know what you know.  You do.

Capricorn

 You have stubborn ideas about love.  You may even be rigid about your creativity.  It feels like nobody gets it. Nobody understands.  They do, Capricorn.  They see that you are in your own way, and they are just trying to help you let your guard down so you can achieve all your hopes and dreams.

Aquarius

 You’re rising in status and you have the magic touch knowing how to work and make money.  Push-back from your family and foundations are helping you to figure out this work smart formula.  People will be looking to you in awe. How did she do it?  Part of the formula is that necessity is the mother of all creation!

Pisces

 You are seeking love and beauty in your environment. Your restlessness may make you a bit rash. Unconscious material is emerging to help question all that you thought you knew and sending you off in a new direction in terms of your creativity.  Take your time with it all.  Sometimes moving in a new direction needs to be spontaneous. Sometimes it needs to be well considered.  Connecting with your guides and teachers will help.
