JUNE 2019
Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces
GEMINI (21 May – 20 June)
The quicker you get things moving as June begins, the better. Although, this might depend on your current situation. Perhaps, you’ve been incredibly busy recently and you’re ready for the fast pace of life to slow down a little. The astrology suggests that you are slowing down throughout June, or at least you’re wise to as the month progresses.
New Beginnings
This is all connected to what’s happening with your ruling planet, Mercury. As June begins, you have Mercury on your side, strong in Gemini and its sign of rulership. Mercury’s only in Gemini until the 4th, but this does coincide with a New Moon in your star sign on the 3rd.
New Moons are a symbol of new beginnings. In Gemini, this offers a chance for you to speak up, get yourself noticed, make things happen. When planets are in Gemini, this is about your image and profile, how other people see you. It’s also about your personal goals and aims. Starting a project that’s dear to your heart, for example, or implementing new ideas and fast.
The stars are on your side as June begins. Get in step with the Gemini vibes and put yourself first. Enter a competition, ask for what you want, write things down. Your star sign, Gemini, is linked to writing, so journal, get yourself published, pen a letter to your family or friends.
Money Goals
On the 4th, Mercury changes star sign and moves into Cancer, where it remains until the 27th. Mercury joins Mars here, so there’s a lot of dynamic planetary energy in this sector of your horoscope. Mercury rules communication and Mars rules action. This is ideal for walking your talk, especially with regard to money matters.
Cancer rules your personal money sector. It’s about your possessions and assets, your values and self-worth. You might choose to speak up about what you’re paid. Or perhaps, you’re discussing options regarding your home and what you own or earn.
This planetary activity peaks on the 18th when Mercury and Mars come together. On its own, this is great astrology for getting ahead with money matters, whether you’re in key negotiations or keen to earn more.
Tough Negotiations
However, the astrology from the 14th to the 20th is challenging because Mercury and Mars run into the formidable planets, Saturn and Pluto, in Capricorn. Capricorn is your joint finance sector, so this can be about inheritance or investments, savings or debts, mortgages or taxes.
This could flag up a challenging situation as Saturn and Pluto are authority figures. When you’re aware of this astrology, you can see that this would not be the time to get embroiled in a law-suit or difficult tax situation.
You might have to justify what you’re paid or fight for what’s rightly yours. Or perhaps, it’s a time when you’re determined to pay off a debt or cut ties so you’re no longer financially dependent on a third party. Expect to negotiate hard if this is a key financial period for you.
The karmic nodes are also part of the picture and you do have the north node next to to Mars and Mercury on the 12th and 15th respectively. Therefore, if you know you’re in the right, you have the flow of destiny on your side. Watch out for a chance to turn the wheel of fortune in favour of your financial situation. You need to be bold and courageous to do so.
Loving Vibes
A much easier influence throughout June is the entry of Venus into your star sign, Gemini, on the 9th. Venus rules love and relating, also money and abundance. Venus is the planet linked to art and beauty.
This is another nod in the direction of looking good and feeling good. You may be keen to engage a personal stylist or be considering a new look. You enjoy the good things in life when you have Venus in your star sign.
This could also be a peak month for love and relationships. In fact, there’s a lot happening in this sector of your horoscope. Venus is lighting up your attractiveness and popularity sector. Plus, your partner planet, Jupiter, is currently in Sagittarius and your relationship sector.
Jupiter’s here for most of 2019, encouraging you to prioritise and create the relationships you want in your life. This might mean breaking free from a relationship that’s not working out or chasing across the world to declare your love for someone in your heart.
Romance & The Full Moon
The key date for love this month is the 17th when there’s a Full Moon in Sagittarius, Jupiter’s star sign. Full Moons promise completion, a culmination and they shine a light on your current situation. This would be a gorgeous date for a proposal or wedding or to meet someone for the first time. If you’re in a relationship or married, prioritise love and declare your affections.
Romance is in the air mid-month because of the Jupiter-Neptune square on the 16th. These two major planets met on January 13, 2019 and meet again on September 21, 2019. This month is their second meeting.
Wherever you find this pair in your horoscope is where dreams can fly high, where you can take a leap of faith. Plus, Neptune is the romance planet. It’s compelling symbolism for embracing love.
Career Dreams
It’s not only about love and personal relationships, however, because Neptune is in Pisces and your career sector. Therefore, this is about business partnerships too or an opportunity to fulfil your career dreams and chase after your true vocation.
In fact, this is a key month to get carried away, especially if you have been feeling disillusioned of late. Neptune’s the veil which sometimes distort reality. Plus, there is a financial factor here too as Saturn in Capricorn is pulled into the mix. On the 18th, Saturn and Neptune connect and on the 21st, Neptune turns retrograde.
Put all this together and you have to do the sums, work out the financial reality of a big goal or dream. Some of you may choose to chase the money or do the right thing financially. Or perhaps, you find yourself in the right place at the right time to let go of the ties that bind and fly free. See what occurs and notice when and where you’re in flow with life.
Finally, your planet Mercury moves into Leo and your communication sector on the 27th. It won’t be long, however, before Mercury turns retrograde and retreats its steps through the zodiac. June starts quickly but by the end of the month you’re slowing down. Get in step with the universe and maximise your chances of success.

CANCER (21 June – 22 July)
Quiet Times
“What are you waiting for?” is a good question to ask as June begins. The Sun is in Gemini and the most hidden sector of your horoscope until the 21st, the day of the Solstice. This turns your attention inwards. It’s often a time of preparation or quiet and solitude.
Certainly, you’re wise to create some space in your life so you can listen to your inner voice and get in touch with your natural instincts. Being one of the water signs, this is your strength, to listen to your gut and trust your feelings. You can only do this properly when you allow yourself time to be still.
Reading helps too. In fact, some of your reading material may be deeply stimulating and inspiring while there’s a strong emphasis on Gemini. You can learn more easily and find answers through other people’s words.
This month’s New Moon also takes place in Gemini on the 3rd. This is an excellent time to set new intentions and draw up goals and plans for the future. Mind-mapping would fit the symbolism or journalling and writing things down. Find space for yourself, either just before the New Moon or the couple of days after the New Moon. It’s a powerful planetary energy helping to move you forwards.
Personal Goals
Plus, one day after the New Moon, communication planet, Mercury, enters your star sign, Cancer, on the 4th where it remains until the 27th. Mercury joins action planet, Mars, in your star sign and this powerful duo are cooking up a storm throughout June.
This combination can help you walk (Mars) your talk (Mercury). Together, these two planets are ambitious and go-getting. In Cancer, they highlight your image and profile and how other people see you. This is about your body and physical goals.
Also, Cancer rules your personal aims and projects that are dear to your heart. This is a great month to initiate new goals in your life and to get things moving and fast.
Relationship Shifts
The trickiest period is the 14th to the 20th when Mercury and Mars clash with the formidable duo, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. This combination feels like opposition or limitation in your life. Capricorn is your partnership sector, so you may be up against a tough boss or an authority figure, someone who says No to your plans.
This might be about love and relationships too and needing to speak up for yourself. When you have key planets in Cancer, this is your opportunity to put yourself first and ask for what you want. Don’t let other people take charge or control of your life, if it’s not serving you.
This period could also flag up the areas of life where you and someone close differ. Even in the best relationship, you can never expect to be 100% in agreement. In fact, how boring would that be? As it’s not easy astrology, however, this combination could expose the areas where one of you isn’t prepared to compromise.
Do what’s right for you. The karmic nodes are also in action during this period and the North Node sits next to Mars in Cancer on the 12th and Mercury in Cancer on the 15th, three days before the two planets are side by side.
You might be in a situation where you see the wheel of fortune turning rapidly, whether you meet someone who’s part of your destiny or you let go and move on. It’s powerful astrology.
Also, the planet of love and relating, Venus, is in Gemini from the 9th onwards. So here too, there’s a hidden theme when it comes to love. Dig deep to unearth secrets this month and don’t be afraid to ask those all-important questions.
Jupiter & The Full Moon
Another key event for you is the Full Moon on the 17th. Being a Sun Cancer, you’re ruled by the Moon and you often feel the phases of the Moon and its changing seasons more acutely than other people.
The Full Moon tends to be a time of deep emotion. In astrology, it represents completion and culmination as matters come to a head. You see things clearly and the Full Moon brings clarity. This is why it’s a good time to make key decisions, release and let go.
This month’s Full Moon falls in Sagittarius and your work and health sector. These areas of your life are under the cosmic spotlight mid-June. In fact, there’s a lot going on here thanks to big planet, Jupiter, also in Sagittarius.
Jupiter’s in this sector of your horoscope for most of the year. This means it’s an excellent time to look after your health and focus on your lifestyle and well-being. What you do on a daily level impacts on many different areas of your life.
Wheel of Fortune
This month, however, Jupiter in Sagittarius is square to Neptune in Pisces on the 16th, the day before the Full Moon. These two planets met on January 13, 2019 and they meet again on September 21, 2019.
There’s often a lot of hype involved when Jupiter and Neptune come together. You might be looking at a new work opportunity, a job that takes you abroad or be keen to pursue a long-term dream or goal.
As long as your plans are cemented in reality, there’s no reason why you can’t fly high and dream big this month. A partner or third party is involved somehow. They may be the anchor that keeps you rooted to the ground and/or the catalyst for your next steps in life.
As a Sun Cancer, you have a vivid imagination and the period from the 16th to the 21st is your chance to look at the whole of your life and conjure up some new ideas, goals and excitements.
Plus, the 21st is the day when the Sun enters Cancer and we witness the Solstice. This year it could be the start of something truly special. Prioritise yourself and stay focused on the one thing that matters to you the most. You’re entering a key period of change when the wheel of fortune turns and lines up a new path of destiny.

LEO (23 July – 22 August)
Friends & Group Connections
The Sun, your ruler, is in Gemini until the 21st. Gemini rules your friends, social connections, your networks and group interactions. It’s a time when people matter to you and you’re wise to extend your reach and make the most of the people in your life.
This will mean different things to you depending on your current situation. Know that this is a good time to engage with other people, whether you’re expanding a business or you’re ready for more fun and laughter. You could be embarking on a social mission or want to have your say in politics, the environment or humanitarian concerns.
The New Moon falls in Gemini on the 3rd, a symbol of new beginnings. This would be a great date to consider joining a group, club or society. This might be an influential step for you, helping you meet people who can help you make progress in life. Or perhaps, you’re doing this for social reasons and want to pick up a hobby, skill or talent that you’ve lost in recent times.
Jupiter Joy
On the whole, this month’s astrology is urging you to do more of what you love in life and to consider how you spend your time. This is also the theme of Jupiter in Sagittarius, a key feature in this year’s astrology.
Jupiter is the big planet, expansive and linked to good fortune. Sagittarius is a fellow fire sign, lucky and fortuitous for you. It rules romance, children & pregnancy, entertainment and creative projects. Most importantly, it’s what makes your life fun. As a fire sign, play and joy are integral parts of your life.
If your life has been out of balance recently, it’s time to realign the scales. You may have been working too hard or spent too much time alone. You might be single and realise you’re keen to meet someone new. This is one of the best months of the year for dating and meeting new people.
Also, you have Venus, the planet of love and relating, in Gemini and your friendship sector from the 9th onwards. Another nudge that suggests love and friendship are linked in your life. A great opportunity to ask for introductions and make new connections.
Big Dreams
Back to Jupiter, which isn’t acting alone this month. Jupiter is currently in cahoots with Neptune in Pisces and these two planets make a square aspect on the 16th. This is their second meeting this year. They came together on January 13, 2019 and meet one last time on September 21, 2019,
Wherever you find these two planets in your horoscope, this is where you can take a leap of faith, where dreams can come true. Both planets are strong in their sign of rulership.
Allow yourself to be romantic this month, in all senses of the word. It’s about love, on the one hand, but it’s also about tapping into something greater and finding inspiration out in the world. Allow yourself to dream big and see what emerges.
Work & Money
Money is part of the picture as Neptune is in Pisces and your joint finance sector. This is about shared resources, so you may be fundraising this month, perhaps for a children’s organisation. Or you might have other charitable goals that tap into the generous side of your nature.
If money’s tight, you do need to consider carefully what you invest in and how you’re going to pay the bills. Be aware that Neptune is the planet of illusion. Keep your feet on solid ground and don’t lose sight of reality as you allow yourself to dream what’s possible.
The Jupiter- Neptune vibe is strong on the 9th/10th, also the 23rd/24th but it peaks close to the Full Moon on the 17th. This time of the month could be hugely emotional for you, even overwhelming. It’s potentially exciting but once again, find a way to stay grounded. If you are in financial difficulty, even more important that you put strategies in place to help you moving forwards.
Saturn is the key planet in this respect as Saturn in Capricorn unites with Neptune in Pisces on the 18th. Capricorn rules your work and lifestyle sector. Therefore, you might be keeping the day job for now or know that you need to boost your physical fitness as a priority.
Consider what this means for you. Saturn is the anchor that holds the Jupiter-Neptune fantasy in place. It’s the nuts and bolts of the situation that can turn the dream into reality.
Rest & Retreat
There will be times this month when you doubt what you’re doing or where you’re heading. Communication planet, Mercury, joins action planet Mars in Cancer from the 4th to the 27th. This turns your attention inwards and often indicates a key period of preparation.
Try not to spend too much time being introvert or quiet, unless it’s helpful and releasing for you. Some of you may be processing deep emotions during this period.
Plus, Mercury and Mars run into the formidable duo of Saturn and Pluto from the 14th to the 20th. This could flag up where limitations lie. You might be dealing with a personal issue or a period of low energy. Perhaps, you’re caring for someone close and need to put other people’s concerns before your own. Issues at work could also be the reason for concern.
The release comes on the day of the Solstice, the 21st, when the Sun, your ruler, enters Cancer. This brings with it illumination, insight and a softer, gentle vibe. Put any arguments or disagreements behind you and focus on your needs, your well-being. Slow down the pace, be kind to yourself and others. Let go of what’s not working out and consider where any key changes are needed.
A Sun/Uranus connection on the 27th coincides with Mercury’s move into Leo, your star sign, on the same day. However, Mercury will switch direction early next month. Even more reason to retreat and take the pace slow.

VIRGO (23 August – 22 September)
It’s all stations go as June begins. Although, by the end of the month you’ll be ready to slow down or needing to slow down, for one reason or another.
Career Goals
Starting at the beginning of the month, your planet, Mercury, is in its other sign of rulership, Gemini, Gemini rules your career and vocation, your future path. Admittedly, Mercury is only here until the 4th but it does coincide with the New Moon in Gemini on the 3rd.
New Moons are a symbol of new beginnings and an ideal time to set your intentions. Gemini is the sign at the peak of your horoscope. Therefore, this is not only about your career and vocation, also your status and reputation. You might be ready to launch a new project, start a new job or take on a new role of responsibility.
The Sun remains in Gemini until the 21st, the day of the Solstice. Therefore, you’re wise to keep the impetus going at work and prioritise this area of your life. Plus, on the 9th, the planet of relating, Venus, joins the Sun in Gemini, where it remains until the end of the month.
Friends & Team Work
Venus in Gemini is great for networking, team work and getting on the right side of the people who count. Socialise with work colleagues and do your bit to create a harmonious working environment.
People are important this month, in more ways than one. This is shown by the fact that your planet, Mercury, enters Cancer on the 4th, where it remains until the 27th. Cancer is the sign that rules friendship in your horoscope and group connections.
Mercury joins Mars here and this is a dynamic planetary duo. It’s where you can walk (Mars) your talk (Mercury) and there’s likely to be excitement in this area of your life. You might be engaged with a new group of people or be keen to extend your social circle. Or perhaps, you’re involved with a group close to home that’s actively helping other people.
Tricky Negotiations
Together, Mercury and Mars are an active force and it’s a good time to speak up for what you believe in. However, the period from the 14th to the 20th is undeniably tricky and heated. This is because Mercury and Mars run into the formidable duo of Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. You could find yourself up against an authority figure or your own plans and goals hit a brick wall.
This is also about your social life and the groups in which you’re involved, whether social, political or humanitarian. Capricorn rules children in your life too. Therefore, you may have an issue with a child or parenting. You might be grappling with child support or an ex about visiting rights. Consider your own situation and what this means for you.
The turning point comes on the 21st, the day of the Solstice when the Sun moves into Cancer. This brings light and insight to the picture. It helps you move on from any difficulties or tension, to let go or release your emotions.
It’s not an easy path to navigate because it’s about what you believe in or what you feel deeply about. Hopefully, the Sun’s move into Cancer can shift your perspective. Alternatively, turn to a friend for advice or guidance. What you don’t want to do is to get stuck in whatever’s not working out. Instead, find a way through.
Jupiter Neptune Dreams
There’s another key influence this month and the two may be related or separate. Again, it depends on your current situation. The other important planetary factor involves Jupiter, the biggest planet.
Jupiter is currently in Sagittarius, the sign at the base of your horoscope ruling your home and family. It’s here for most of the year. At its best, Jupiter in Sagittarius is a symbol for moving or expanding your home or family. Where you find Jupiter, you often find new opportunity and fulfilment in your life.
Jupiter isn’t acting alone this month, however, because on the 16th, Jupiter clashes with Neptune in Pisces. These two planets first came together on January 13, 2019 and they meet once again on September 21, 2019. This is their second meeting, the middle connection.
Both planets are strong in their sign of rulership and both planets are in personal sectors of your horoscope. Jupiter in Sagittarius highlights your home and family and Neptune in Pisces highlights your close relationships, personal and professional.
This combination shows where in life you can take a leap of faith. It’s where you have dreams and plans for the future. This might be to extend your family, care for the ones you love or move to your dream home. You may want to marry and settle down or find a way to create the ideal relationship, one that suits you. This could be long-distance or living in separate homes.
Full Moon Vibes
This all coincides with the Full Moon on the 17th cutting across the Gemini/Sagittarius axis of the horoscope. Full Moons are traditionally full of emotion and bring completion or culmination. Therefore, you might be celebrating during this time of the month, perhaps a family anniversary or wedding.
Alternatively, you might be saying goodbye to someone close as they set off on their adventure. Or, there could be big news on or around these dates. The birth of a baby perhaps or a pregnancy.
You may find that events in your own life feel overwhelming. Plus, it’s worth noting that the planet of romance, Neptune, turns retrograde on the 21st.
Therefore, illusion is a key theme and you have to work harder to discern what’s real and what’s not. Fantasy and illusion need to be analysed in the clear light of day. Use your earth sign instincts to know whom to trust and whom to avoid.
If in doubt, take time out or a step back. On the 17th, your planet, Mercury, enters Leo and the most hidden sector of your horoscope. Mercury is currently slowing down as it turns retrograde early July.
This is your cue to stop and think and create time and space for yourself. Whatever is foreground in your life right now, this isn’t the end of the story. You may soon be retracing your steps.

LIBRA (23 September – 23 October)
Abundant Venus
Your planet, Venus, starts the month of June in contemplative mode in earth sign Taurus. Venus is here until the 9th and Venus in Taurus highlights your joint finances and shared resources. You may be actively engaged in making more money or perhaps you’re enjoying a time of abundance.
Either way, this is a gorgeous transit for improving your situation and/or investing your money wisely. Some of you may be considering a home move or be paying out money to enhance your current living space. As a Sun Libra, you benefit from harmonious surroundings, both in your work and home environment.
Expand Your World
There is another pull, however, that’s calling you to expand your world and broaden your horizons. This is connected to the Sun’s move through Gemini, a fellow air sign, where it remains until the 21st, the day of the Solstice.
Plus, on the 3rd, there’s a New Moon in Gemini, a symbol of new beginnings. This is an excellent date to book or set off on a trip, sign up to a course or learn more. Travel and study are the key themes highlighted when planets are moving through this sector of your horoscope.
A New Moon is gorgeous for setting your intentions, initiating projects and coming up with new ideas. This may coincide with a legal matter or a bid to get yourself published. Gemini rules religion, the Law, the media, as well as higher education, travel and holidays.
This vibe continues throughout June for you. This is because on the 9th, your ruling planet, Venus, also enters Gemini where it remains until July 3rd. This confirms you’re seeking inspiration in life throughout the month of June. Whether you’re searching for answers or meaning or you’re considering new opportunities and experiences, now’s not the time to choose the safe option in life.
Instead, this is a gorgeous month to take a risk and try out something new and different. Allow yourself to be inspired by other people and put yourself in the way of fascinating ideas, lines of thought and beliefs. You might do this by attending talks, reading books or mixing with an interesting crowd. The lines of communication are wide open, so see where they lead you.
Full Moon Vibes
It’s confirmed that this is a key theme of the month for two other planetary reasons. Firstly, the Full Moon on the 17th cuts across the Gemini/Sagittarius axis of the zodiac. This highlights the education and knowledge sectors of your horoscope.
Full Moons are a time of completion or culmination. They bring matters to a head and offer clarity and insight. Use the light of the Moon at its fullest to trust your intuition and make key decisions in your life. This is about using your heart and your head, both of which are intricately entwined at the Full Moon.
Tests & Learning
Also, there’s another powerful influence concerning the big planet, Jupiter. Jupiter spends most of this year in Sagittarius, the sign linked to travel and study. In your horoscope, Jupiter lights up your personal study sector. This is about all forms of communication, including the written and spoken word.
You might be spending some of your time filling out application forms or be planning a presentation or talk. It works both ways, i.e. it’s a good time to be a student and to hone your teaching skills. Also, Jupiter is currently retrograde, i.e. in retreat. Therefore, this month could be when you’re taking exams or tests that will prepare you for the next stage in your life, later this year.
Harness Your Dreams
Jupiter is in cahoots with another planet this month, romantic Neptune. Neptune is currently in Pisces and your work and health sector and Jupiter and Neptune unite on the 16th. This is the second time they’ve met this year. They came together on January 13, 2019 and they meet again on September 21, 2019.
This is a square aspect so it can be over-the-top and overwhelming. However, both planets are in their signs of rulership. Therefore, this is where in life you can take a leap of faith and dream big.
For you, this is about these areas – communication, networking, your working life and lifestyle. It feels creative, whether you’re writing a novel or drawing up new ideas and plans to boost your own well-being or help other people.
It is important, however, that you take the necessary steps to turn a dream into reality. It’s not going to happen if you only live in your imagination. Make time at home to write things down, to journal or meditate. Create space in the day to work on your goals.
The Jupiter-Neptune vibe is strong on the 9th/10th and 23rd/24th as well as around the Full Moon. There could be some uncertainty around work or perhaps this applies to someone in your family.
Career Goals & Obstacles
Also, there’s another key planetary pattern pulled in to all of this which involves Mercury and Mars in Cancer and your career sector. Mercury joins Mars here from the 4th to the 27th and this is a peak period to aim high and act fast to make progress. Mercury and Mars together are a symbol to walk (Mars) your talk (Mercury).
This could be an exciting time for the next stage in your life, when things happen quickly. Keep up to speed with what’s going on and keep close tabs on what’s expected of you. It would be easy to miss something during the mid-month period, however, or find yourself unable to complete a deadline or commitment.
The trickiest time is from the 14th to the 20th when Mercury and Mars are opposed by the formidable duo, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. This pits your professional life against your personal life, your home life.
There might be real limitations why you can’t get ahead. You may need to take other people into account – your parents, children or a partner. One person in particular could be directly opposed to your plans. Or perhaps, your home situation isn’t ideal and a necessary move comes at a difficult time.
The turning point comes on the 21st, the day of the Solstice, when the Sun moves into Cancer. This brings insight and illumination. It helps you to find a way around any obstacles or limitations, to stay on your path. Do whatever’s needed to move your life in the direction that’s right for you.

SCORPIO (24 October – 22 November)
Money Moves
Money is where the action’s at this month, as it was last month. Continue to work on new ideas to earn money, invest money, pay off debt or update your financial transactions. It’s worth making the time to do so, especially as the month begins.
Up until the 4th, communication planet, Mercury, remains in Gemini and your joint finance sector. More importantly, there’s a New Moon in Gemini on the 3rd. New Moons are a symbol of new beginnings. They are a great time to set your intentions, initiate action and get things moving.
From the New Moon onwards, you’re wise to be proactive around money, to negotiate hard and make swift progress. The Sun remains in this sector of your horoscope until the 21st, the day of the Solstice.
Plus, on the 9th, the planet, Venus, joins the Sun in Gemini and remains here until early next month. Venus is one of the planets linked to money, also indulgence and abundance.
Luck & Finances
Plus, there’s another key planet in the mix which, hopefully, will bring a little bit of luck your way. That planet is Jupiter, expansive and protective, linked to good fortune and opportunity in life.
Jupiter has spent most of this year in Sagittarius and your personal money sector. Therefore, this is a good year to be visionary around money, to take risks and use the timing of astrology to good effect.
This month, Jupiter is especially active and the key date to note is the 16th. This is one day before a Full Moon on the 17th cutting across the Gemini/Sagittarius axis of the zodiac which highlights the financial axis of your horoscope.
Full Moons on their own bring heightened emotions, sometimes drama. They represent completion and culmination. Things can flourish on the Full Moon and it’s a key time to make decisions. Engage your head and your heart during the Full Moon and view your situation with clarity.
Back to Jupiter and, the day before the Full Moon, Jupiter in Sagittarius is square to Neptune in Pisces on the 16th. This is important because the Full Moon falls in Sagittarius and Jupiter rules Sagittarius. Put all this together and it feels fortuitous as if the wheel of fortune is turning.
The Jupiter-Neptune square first took place on January 13, 2019 and they meet again on September 21, 2019. This is their second meeting, the middle connection.
Wherever you find these planets, it’s where you can take a leap of faith and where you’re prepared to dream big. For you, this is about money dreams, hopes and wishes. It’s a speculative combination and Neptune in Pisces is linked to luck. That’s not to say you should bet your life savings on a horse or poker game. Yet, it is a good time to trust your intuition, your natural instincts.
Know Your Stuff
Plus, there’s another planet involved which is Saturn in Capricorn. Saturn teams up with Neptune on the 18th and this is what grounds the over-the-top, enthusiastic Jupiter/Neptune influence.
Saturn in Capricorn can represent the teacher, the wise soul. It suggests the knowledge or experience you need to make the right moves. It’s also about being in something for the long run, being patient and persistent.
Consider what this might mean for you and where you’re trying to expand your horizons and do things differently. In some shape of form, you’re going to be engaged with events or projects this month that will impact on you financially.
This might be a legal case, a contract or negotiation, a joint venture or partnership. You’re right to trust your luck but, at the same time, ensure you have all the information at your fingertips and know your business inside-out.
Widen Your Horizons
The law is one area that’s definitely under the cosmic spotlight this month. This is because your planet Mars is currently in Cancer, the sign that rules travel and study in your horoscope, also the law, publishing, media and religion.
Mars has support this month from communication planet, Mercury, which is in Cancer from the 4th to the 27th. These two planets together are a dynamic combination. You can walk (Mars) your talk (Mercury) and make things happen fast.
You might be involved in planning a trip or course or be teaching and actively helping other people. This is a good time to put in the necessary groundwork that will help you make progress in your career in the future.
Up Against It
There is a tricky period, however, when you could be in a stressful situation, whether you’re up against a tight deadline or working hard to meet a commitment. This is the period from the 14th to the 20th, when Mercury and Mars encounter Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn.
This could flag up where your limitations lie. Or perhaps, it’s the voice of authority challenging your path. Ensure travel documents are up-to-date, double check paperwork if you’re planning a course and don’t leave anything to chance.
You may need to push extra hard to work things out. The point of release comes on the Solstice, the 21st, the day when the Sun also enters Cancer. This can bring insight or illumination or a third party who clears the way ahead.
Slowing Down
Use your contacts well, especially on or around the 27th. This the date when talk planet, Mercury, enters Leo and your career sector. Note, however, that Mercury’s slowing down and turns retrograde early July.
Therefore, you still have a way to go before your career takes off or you can move on at work or with regard to your vocation. In the meantime, you might choose to take a step back, go on holiday and have some much-needed breathing space.

SAGITTARIUS (23 November – 21 December)
Your planet, Jupiter, is currently retrograde in your star sign, Sagittarius. When the major planets, like Jupiter, are retreating through the zodiac, they trigger key points in your horoscope for the second time. Therefore, if you have key planets/angles between 17-20 degrees Sagittarius, this is you. It’s also positive for you, if your birthday falls on December 9th to 12th.
Personal Goals
Your planet, Jupiter, is great for playing big in life, taking risks, being visionary and embracing adventure. In your sign of Sagittarius, this is about your personal goals and aims, also your image and profile, how other people see you. In other words, it’s your time to make a name for yourself.
Alternatively, embrace life to the full and do more of what you love. If you are a typical Sagittarius, you are one of life’s hedonists and you enjoy yourself the most when you have new experiences and adventures lined up.
Jupiter is in action this month as it teams up with Neptune in Pisces on the 16th. These two planets first came together on January 13, 2019 and they meet again on September 21, 2019. This is the second meeting, their middle connection.
Both planets are strong in their signs of rulership and this is a square aspect which can coincide with over-the-top behaviour, enthusiasm or overwhelm. As Neptune is in one of the water signs, this could be an emotional month for you.
Also, both planets are in sectors of your horoscope which link to your personal life. Sagittarius is about you and Pisces represents your family, the people dearest to you, also your home and your past. You might be taking a trip down memory lane this month or feel sentimental about the past.
Sagittarius Full Moon
The astrology suggests strong emotions because the Jupiter-Neptune square falls one day before a powerful Full Moon in your star sign Sagittarius on the 17th. Full Moons heighten emotions. They can be dramatic and celebratory, they often coincide with culmination and fulfilment.
If you’re celebrating a wedding or anniversary close this date, you’re in tune with your stars. It’s also a top time to choose to revisit the past or meet up with your wider family. Yes, it may be emotional but also a release and a chance to let go.
Shifting Foundations
Neptune at the base of your chart can feel rootless as if you’re standing on shifting sand. You could be living on a boat or be keen to spend time by water. Or perhaps, there are other reasons why you don’t feel secure or rooted right now. Life could be precarious because of shifts at home or within your family. Notice what happens on or around the 9th/10th and again on the 23rd/24th.
There is another planet involved which deepens the picture. That planet is Saturn in Capricorn and your personal money sector. Saturn teams up with Neptune in Pisces on the 18th, three days before Neptune turns retrograde on the 21st.
Money could be the anchor that keeps you grounded. You might be helping someone in the family, paying for them to put down roots or assist with child-care or a similar situation. Or perhaps, you’re turning to the ones you love for emotional or financial support. It flows both ways.
Plus, the Jupiter-Neptune connection is charitable and giving. You may not only be involved with your own family but choose to help other people as well.
There is a cautionary note, however, that you don’t get overly carried away. Being a Sagittarius, you can be extremely giving without thinking of the consequences. Fire signs, like your star sign, are spontaneous and impulsive.
Financial Negotiations
This month, however, there’s a lot of activity in your money sectors and not all of it easy, so bear this in mind. Firstly, talk planet, Mercury, joins action planet, Mars, in Cancer and your joint finance sector from the 4th to the 27th. These two planets are working together, hand in hand, side by side.
They make a dynamic duo and you could cut a fast deal or negotiate hard. Cancer rules all forms of financial activities, including inheritance, investments, savings or debt, alimony, taxes, mortgages, etc.
The trickiest period falls from the 14th to the 20th when Mercury and Mars run into the formidable duo, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. This may flag up where your limitations lie or show you the obstacles in your path. You might be up against the authorities or grappling with bureaucracy. Or perhaps, you’re dealing directly with other peoples’ debt or financial limitation.
It’s not an easy picture. If anything, you’re wise to conserve your resources during this period. Instead, wait until the Sun moves into Cancer on the 21st, the day of the Solstice. This brings insight and illumination and a third party could be the solution to a financial problem. Or, a job or new contract that helps you push through any roadblocks.
Loving Relations
Also, this month, love is in the ascendancy. As June begins, you have Mercury, your partner planet, in Gemini, alongside the Sun. Admittedly, Mercury only remains here until the 4th but there is a stunning New Moon in Gemini and your relationship sector on the 3rd.
A New Moon is a symbol of new beginnings and a chance to start over or turn a fresh leaf. Set your intentions for love on or around this date. Plus, a week later, on the 9th, love planet, Venus, enters Gemini where it remains until early July.
This confirms that June is a top month for you with regard to love and relationships, both personal and professional. Keep your options open, be open-minded, flirt and be spontaneous. Venus in Gemini is a fun combination, light and airy. Anything goes when it comes to love.
Plus, you have a stunning Full Moon cutting across the relationship axis of your horoscope on the 17th. It’s in the personal arena, where life could take an exciting turn.

CAPRICORN (22 December – 20 January)
Get Busy
You’re likely to be busy as June begins. Or, at least, it’s a good idea to be proactive and get things done. This is especially true for you if you’re looking for work, seeking new clients or engaging employees. Same goes if you have new goals and aims with regard to your health and fitness.
This is because of the emphasis on the star sign, Gemini, as the month begins. Gemini rules your work and routine, your lifestyle and your health. The Sun’s here until the 21st, the day of the Solstice, and most importantly, there’s a New Moon in Gemini on the 3rd.
A New Moon is a symbol of new beginnings and an ideal time to set your intentions, make a wish and take the initiative. It’s a good time to apply for a job or get busy in your current role. You might have lots of creative ideas or be juggling different roles within your current position. It’s lively but requires careful handling. Write things down, manage your time well and adopt efficient office systems.
Team Work
There is another planet in Gemini this month too. Venus enters this part of your horoscope on the 9th where it remains until early July. As Venus is the planet of relating, this confirms that you’re wise to get help for your work or routine, your lifestyle and health. Get the right people on board and you can make swift progress.
Venus rules women so target women in your marketing or networking or look for a women who can help you manage your life better. This might be a coach, a cleaner, a VA or a dear friend. Create a strong network of women in your life and socialise with your colleagues. Collaborative ventures are well-starred during the month of June.
The Full Moon on the 17th is also part of the picture. This Full Moon cuts across the Gemini/Sagittarius axis of the zodiac and Full Moons bring completion or culmination. They are a time of clarity when you see your situation clearly and can make key decisions.
Admittedly, this particular Full Moon could be overwhelming or coincide with an emotional time. You’ll hear more about this shortly. Even so, it’s likely to be an important date in the month for finalising plans and getting on top of a busy situation.
People Power
People are also key to your success and happiness in the month ahead. Yet, it’s here where you may have to tread carefully, especially if you’re dealing with some tricky individuals in your life.
This is because of the emphasis on your opposite star sign, Cancer. You have Mars here all month and Mars is both the planet of passion and the planet of anger. It’s a tempestuous influence, courageous and bold, also frustrating and infuriating.
On the 4th, communication planet, Mercury, joins Mars in Cancer and remains in this sector of your horoscope until the 27th. These two together are a force to be reckoned with. They are dynamic, go-getting and speedy.
You might have someone in your life who’s running at top speed, wanting you to keep up. Or perhaps, there’s someone who’s backing you, on your side and keen for you to make swift progress.
Tricky Negotiations
If you’re in a love relationship or married, expect life to get lively and fast. You might encounter challenges together or have some big decisions to negotiate. The trickiest period or, at least, the time of the month when this energy is strongest, takes place mid-month.
Mercury and Mars join forces on the 18th and clash with your planet Saturn and power planet Pluto between the 14th and 20th. This suggests opposition to your plans, the voice of authority telling you what you can or can’t do. Alternatively, you may take on the role of Saturn and need to lay down the law or take charge if other people are out of control.
Notice whether your close relationships are supportive or draining during the middle of the month. Perhaps, someone close to you needs a lot of support or you’re the one who feels confused or disoriented. Ensure you’re there for anyone in your life who’s feeling vulnerable and ask for help yourself if you’re struggling.
The turning point comes on the 21st, the day of the Solstice, when the Sun also enters Cancer. This is a gentler influence and can bring with it insight and illumination. A third party may step in to end a brawl or argument. Or perhaps, they have a solution to an issue or problem.
There is a possibility that you might be swept off your feet by another person in the month of June. It could be excitement that overwhelms as you’re around individuals who throw themselves into life head-first. You may find yourself having to run to keep up. Discern your own situation and decide what works for you.
Seeking Answers
Finally, this month, there’s an expansive Jupiter-Neptune square on the 16th, the day before the Full Moon. These two planets are in their signs of rulership; Jupiter in Sagittarius and Neptune in Pisces.
They met on January 13, 2019 and meet again on September 21, 2019. This is their second connection, the middle meeting. Wherever you find this combination in your horoscope is where you can take a leap of faith. For you, this is about a religious or spiritual path. Or, you may be seeking something more in life, exploring new languages, new cultures, new ways of thinking.
Allow your imagination to take you wherever it leads. This is potentially creative and artistic. Find your muse and what inspires you in life. Be open to music, poetry, art. Learn to communicate in ways that are beyond the everyday and tap into the side of your nature that’s shamanic. This too can provide answers or, at least, salvation, as your planet Saturn teams up with Neptune on the 18th.

AQUARIUS (21 January – 18 February)
Do What You Love
It’s important this month to focus on pleasure and having fun. As June begins, there’s a plethora of planets in your fellow air sign, Gemini, which rules all the good things in life in your horoscope. Therefore, focus on what’s working well and do more of what you love.
If you desire more fun in life, this is the ideal time to be pro-active and make things happen. On the 3rd, there’s a New Moon in Gemini, a symbol of new beginnings. This is an excellent time to be pro-active, line up some fun entertainment and reach out to other people. Social get-togethers and parties are part of the Gemini vibe.
Actively embrace all that’s fun in life. This might mean romance for you, meeting someone new or enjoying a light-hearted love affair. If you’re a typical air sign, you’ll love to flirt and meet new people. On the 9th, love planet, Venus joins the Sun in Gemini where it remains until early July. This confirms June is a top month for finding love and enjoying your close connections.
Full Moon Parties
Gemini also rules children and pregnancy in your horoscope. You might want to hang out more with your kids or be contemplating starting your own family. Any negotiations about children are well-starred too. This could be something which coincides with the Full Moon on the 17th.
Full Moons are a symbol of completion and culmination. Matters come to a head on the Full Moon when the light of the Moon is at its brightest. Full Moons represent clarity and insight. Plus, this Full Moon falls across the Gemini/Sagittarius axis of the zodiac. It’s about children on the one hand; also socialising and celebration. In fact, mid-month would be a great time to throw a party or get yourself invited to a big event.
Hobbies too are part of the Gemini picture and this is a good time to consider your skills and talents, your natural expertise. This is particularly important for you because the focus is on your work this month, what you do for a living and/or how you spend your time.
Working Hard & Fast
This is due to two planets in Cancer and this part of your horoscope. Mars, the action planet, is here all month and, from the 4th to the 27th, Mars is joined by Mercury in Cancer, the planet of communication.
Together, these are a dynamic duo, go-getting and ambitious. You could find yourself exceptionally busy at work this month with lots going on. Or perhaps, you’re fervently looking for work or something new to do in your life.
Either way, you have to put a lot in and you’re advised to do so. Keep the lines of communication open and take the initiative. Be ambitious and courageous, whatever you’re currently seeking within the areas of work, lifestyle and health.
Health Goals
In fact, this is a good time to look after yourself and your physical body. Both Mercury and Mars are speedy planets and Mars in particular is physical and strong. This would be a good month to boost your fitness levels and take on some new health goals.
Try not to overdo it, however, or slip into the opposite and become lazy. There is some tricky astrology taking place between the 14th to the 20th when Mercury and Mars run into the formidable duo, Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn.
These two planets can stop you in your tracks and literally slow you down. This might be due to over-exertion, stress or taking on too much. Or perhaps, a contract or job comes to an end. Either way, there’s not a lot of wriggle room and it’s hard to negotiate or push for what you want.
Consider your own situation carefully but know that it’s easier to make a move after the 21st. This is when the Sun enters Cancer on the day of the Solstice. This brings illumination and insight. It might be your partner or a third party who helps you find a solution to a problem. Get back in flow and do whatever’s needed to ensure your routine is smooth and you prioritise your work and well-being, your lifestyle and your health.
Magical Money
Money is also under the cosmic spotlight this month and it’s potentially a time of magic or mystery. This is due to Neptune’s role in Pisces and your personal money sector. Neptune turns retrograde on the 21st, the day of the Solstice. Therefore, it hardly moves this month as it’s stationary.
Neptune rules fantasy and illusion as well as dreams and the imagination. It’s not a steady influence by any means. In fact, you can easily find yourself pulled, seduced or lead astray.
Yet, there’s another key planet involved, Jupiter in Sagittarius. Jupiter and Neptune are in square aspect on the 16th, the day before the Full Moon. These two planets met on January 13, 2019 and they meet again on September 21, 2019. This is their second meeting, their middle connection.
Jupiter in Sagittarius highlights your friends and group connections. Together, Jupiter and Neptune are charitable and giving. You may find that someone helps you financially mid-month. Or perhaps, you’re the one who steps in to support a fund-raising campaign or similar.
It is important that you don’t go over the top, however, or let your emotions run away with you. This whole combination is potentially confusing and disorienting. If money’s an issue for you, you’re wise to slow things right down and get real about your situation. Make plans, set new goals, call in old favours.
Alternatively, you could find that your imagination and your dreams lead you in a new direction that’s potentially limitless and abundant. Neptune’s influence works both ways. It brings magic and miracles into your life, as long as you keep your feet on the ground and engage your heart and your head when making big decisions.
Keep your trust antennae on high alert and decide who’s on your side and who’s not. Talk planet Mercury is about to turn retrograde early July in Leo and your relationship sector. Therefore, partnerships are entering a peak period, when you need to be extra patient and astute.

PISCES (19 February – 20 March)
Jupiter-Neptune Goals
This is potentially a big month for you because of what’s happening with your co-rulers, Jupiter and Neptune. Jupiter is currently in Sagittarius and your career and vocation sector. It’s here for most of 2019, encouraging you to play big in life, take risks and be visionary in your approach.
Neptune is in your star sign, Pisces, bringing magic and miracles your way. And, possibly leading you astray. Neptune rules illusion and confusion as well as dreams and the imagination.
Together, this is a gorgeous planetary combination and on the 16th, these two planets connect in the heavens. They make a square aspect as they did on January 13, 2019 and as they will do again on September 21, 2019.
Wherever these two planets fall in your horoscope is where you can take a leap of faith and dream big. This is about your future and where you’re heading. You might be expanding your business, considering a move abroad or want to be known for your wisdom and expertise.
It’s a year to consider giving up the day job to pursue your true vocation. Expand your reach, use your global connections, embrace learning and the pursuit of knowledge. There’s excitement within this combination and an outpouring of enthusiasm and optimism.
The Full Moon Of Success
This all peaks close to the Full Moon on the 17th, which falls in Sagittarius and your career and vocation sector. This mid-month period feels potentially successful for you. It may offer an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone, go beyond what you believe is possible and turn a dream into reality.
Mid-month may be emotional or dramatic, exciting or congratulatory. There is a cautionary note, however, that you don’t get completely carried away. This combination is over-the-top and, perhaps, overwhelming or out of control. You might feel as if you’ve taken on too much or you can’t be all that other people expect of you.
Gain Support
If in doubt, turn to old friends or a wise guide or coach. Have someone behind you willing you on, supporting you and keeping your feet on the ground. This is the role of Saturn in Capricorn which teams up with your co-ruler Neptune on the 18th.
Saturn is the guardian, the teacher or mentor. It’s your peers, your old friends, your wise counsel. It may even be a nod to people power, i.e. turning to others to help if you can’t do everything by yourself.
Jupiter and Neptune are charitable and giving, so your dream may not be personal but for a better world or a desire to help others. This too could be another reason why you need back up and firm support.
Home & Family
Home and family are also part of the picture. Hopefully, in a helpful way. The Sun is in Gemini and this sector of your horoscope until the 21st, the day of the Solstice. Plus, on the 3rd, there’s a New Moon in Gemini.
This is a good date to set your intentions around your home and family. Ask for what you want and need, negotiate with family members, work together as a team. Initiate new strategies or projects at home, whether you’re on the verge of moving or your family situation is changing.
Venus is also in Gemini from the 9th onwards and Venus rules love and relating. You might be opening your doors to family and friends or inviting other people around to enjoy each other’s company.
Home and family matter to you this month. Perhaps, because you are about to head off on a new adventure or journey or what you’re doing is because of the love for your family. Either way, these are the key areas of your life this month and your biggest decisions require you to consider both your work and your home.
Neptune – Wonder & Confusion
Note that your co-ruler, Neptune, turns retrograde on the 21st, which feels both magical and illusory. It might feel hard to stay grounded or rooted with Neptune strong. Your imagination could peak, your creative juices could flow but everyday matters might be more difficult to manage or handle.
Allow Neptune to inspire you through music, art, poetry or spirituality. Be wary of being lead down an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ type rabbit hole that takes you off track. Drink and drugs are an unhealthy diversion too.
Yet, there’s plenty of wonder and awe in store for you when you expand your life and believe in possibility. It’s an ideal month to be a romantic and go beyond the everyday.
Embrace Life & Love
There is a tricky period potentially from the 14th to the 20th. This is when Mercury (communication) and Mars (action) meet in Cancer, a fellow water sign. In fact, these two planets are in Cancer for most of the month, highlighting romance and love affairs, children and pregnancy, entertainment and creative projects.
This confirms that you want to prioritise enjoyment and awe, good times and dreams. Take care, however, who you run into mid-month. Veer away from people who are negative about your plans, your children, your love life.
This is not the time to encounter authority or take on the people at the top. Instead, concentrate on your own life and your personal goals. Once the Sun moves into Cancer on the 21st, the day of the Solstice, you can release and let go of any tensions or challenge. The Sun shines a light and illuminates the way forwards.
If you’re taking on the world this month, be aware that there will be times when you need to return to the bosom of your family or be amongst people who you trust and make you feel good. Plus, do whatever’s right for you to boost your confidence. Trust your inner self. Flying high can be scary and a time when your personal growth accelerates at turbo speed.

ARIES (21 March – 19 April)
Gemini Time
Gemini is the sign of the moment as June begins. This is where you find the Sun and the swift-moving planet of communication, Mercury. Plus, on the 3rd, there’s a New Moon in Gemini, a symbol of new beginnings.
All this lively activity is taking place in the sector of your horoscope which rules communication, both the spoken and written word. Therefore, use this strong planetary energy early in June to initiate important conversations, line up key meetings and start the ball rolling.
When planets are in Gemini, you tend to be busy, both internally and externally. Gemini’s planet, Mercury, rules the mind so this is about new ideas, quick thinking on the one hand, movement and travel on the other hand. Use this time effectively to network, make new friends and connections and pick up the pace.
Siblings and neighbours are also part of the picture. Reach out to others, introduce yourself to other people and enjoy the simple pleasure of chatting, talk, making friends and getting to know people better.
Student/Teacher
There may be another reason why you want to extend your social or professional networks. This is linked to the Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 17th. The Full Moon cuts across the education sectors of your horoscope. And, education planet, Jupiter, is currently strong in Sagittarius.
Put all this together and this is an excellent month to focus on study and/or teaching. You might be lining up a course for the new academic year in September/October or be discussing plans to offer workshops or talks.
Wherever you find the Full Moon in your horoscope, it’s shining a light. This is the area of your life to focus on, to explore fully. It’s also a great time to make key decisions. For you, this is especially pertinent in the areas of travel, study and the bigger picture of life. Fire some arrows high into the sky and see where they land. Embrace new experiences and adventure.
Dream High & Wide
Jupiter is a key player this month too because of the second Jupiter-Neptune square which takes place on the 16th, the day before the Full Moon. These two boundless, expansive planets first came together on January 13, 2019 and they will meet one more time on September 21, 2019.
Together, they are about dreams, hope and faith. They are where you find inspiration in life, where you want something more, seeking and searching beyond the normal & mundane, everyday life. You might be on a spiritual path or be interested in religion or be finding out about specific teachings or beliefs.
Go wherever life leads you now and be guided by the journey that unfolds in front of you. This combination isn’t about being driven or ambitious. Instead, surrender to life and see what comes in to the space that’s created.
Concrete Dreams
There may be a specific reason why you’re searching for meaning in life now, something greater beyond yourself. This could be linked to what’s happening at home or within your family or at work and in your career.
There is another planet pulled in to the mix, Saturn in Capricorn and your career and vocation sector. Saturn makes a sextile aspect to Neptune on the 18th, reining in the boundless influence of the Jupiter-Neptune square. This can help you to manifest your dreams and goals, make them real.
Saturn is the realist, reminding you that dreams are more effective when they’re built on solid ground, when you work out what steps need to happen to fulfil those yearnings. Look out for a mentor, teacher or guide around the middle of the month as this person could be Saturn in disguise.
Home & Family
There is another key factor to bear in mind throughout the month of June. The fact that your planet, Mars, is currently in Cancer and your home and family sector. Mars isn’t strong here as Mars likes to be off out in the world, being physical, ticking off goals.
Mars in Cancer moves slowly, cautiously, strategically. You might find that issues at home or within in your family sap your energy now or keep you house-bound. Perhaps, you’re looking after others, taking on the role of care-giver. Perhaps, you’re knee deep in building work or there issues that affect your living space.
These areas of your life are a possible source of tension mid-month, when Mercury (communication) and Mars (action/anger) meet in Cancer on the 18th. This is an inflammatory mix, tempestuous and potentially argumentative.
Plus, from the 14th to the 20th, Mercury and Mars are opposed by Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn. This whole combination suggests you have a tough decision to make or you find yourself up against opposition.
There may be a pull between your personal life and your professional life or extra responsibility and duty that falls on your shoulders. If someone in the family is out of work, for example, this could add extra pressure at home.
Emotional Release
The turning point comes on the 21st, the day of the Solstice, when the Sun moves into Cancer and someone else, a third party, could provide the solution to a problem. Or perhaps, illumination and enlightenment strike and you know what to do in the midst of a difficult or challenging situation.
Letting go of the past isn’t always easy, especially when there are emotional or financial attachments tightly in place. Ultimately, however, this teaches you the importance of love.
It’s only when you open your heart fully to other people that you allow yourself to feel the depths of your vulnerability. This month’s astrology provides you with an opportunity to feel your feelings deeply and there’s nearly always a blessing or a gift to be found when you do just that.

TAURUS (20 April – 20 May)
Your ruling planet, Venus, is in your star sign, Taurus until the 9th. Make the most of this, kick back, chill and enjoy life’s simple pleasures. Notice where you’re being pulled or you called. This might be linked to travel or study, a desire to escape from some aspect of your life in the here and now. Take slow steps and consider your plans carefully.
Making Money
Money is one area that’s under the cosmic spotlight this month. In fact, it’s here where things could happen quickly. As June begins, talk planet Mercury remains strong in Gemini but only until the 4th. However, this coincides with a New Moon in Gemini on the 3rd. Plus, you have the Sun in your personal money sector until the 21st, the day of the Solstice.
Therefore, when it comes to money matters, keep on your toes, think quickly and make things happen. A New Moon is a gorgeous symbolism for new beginnings, taking the initiative and leaping into action. This is a positive New Moon for lining up an important business meeting, talking money and implementing new ideas.
Plus, on the 9th, your planet, Venus, moves into Gemini where it remains until the end of the month. Stay on your toes, keep things light and move fast. Encourage the flow of money and negotiate well.
Money Dreams
There is another dominant factor linked to your finances. Primarily, this is about the planet Jupiter, expansive, fortunate, a positive influence. Jupiter is spending most of this year in Sagittarius and your joint finance sector.
This is about shared resources and any form of financial transaction. This includes inheritance, alimony, mortgage and taxes, savings and debts, money accrued and money owed. Plus, Jupiter is getting swept along in a big way throughout June.
This has a lot to do with the boundless Jupiter-Neptune square aspect, one of the key astrological features of 2019. These two planets came together on January 13, 2019, they meet again on the 16th of this month and then connect for a final time on September 21, 2019.
Jupiter and Neptune are both strong in their signs of rulership and together, they are a charitable, generous influence. Ultimately, they represent compassionate urges and are giving rather than taking. Wherever you find this combination in your horoscope is where you can take a leap of faith and tap into your dreams.
Charities & Fundraising
Neptune in Pisces lights up your friends and group sector, also your hopes and wishes. Put all this together and you may be involved in a fundraising event or be helping out someone you care about or a group you’re a member of.
The flip side can kick in, i.e. you are the one who’s gifted money or other people are there for you. Be open to receiving, practise the Law of Attraction and the art of gratitude and encourage the flow of abundance into your life.
This planetary activity is strong on the 9th and 10th, peaks during the Full Moon on the 17th and picks up speed again on the 23rd and 24th. The Full Moon is at the centre of this dynamic planetary activity. It falls across the Gemini/Sagittarius axis of the zodiac, highlighting the financial axis of your horoscope.
Yes, there is a possibility to go over the top and be overly indulgent or for other people to over-promise. This is where your earth sign nature is invaluable, enabling you to make the right business decision or work out the nuts and bolts, the practicalities of any big goal or project.
Be Extraordinary
Plus, there’s another planet in the mix, Saturn in Capricorn, a fellow earth sign. Saturn is the intermediary between Jupiter and Neptune, it holds them to task, keeps their enthusiasm tethered in a way that can turn dreams into reality. Consider who or what Saturn might be in your life. This could be a lawyer or judge; it could be a teacher or mentor.
Within yourself, it’s your ability to work out how you’re going to let your dreams fly high and this includes other people. You could be involved with something extraordinary this month, an event that takes off and makes a real difference within society or out in the world. If you believe deeply, angels and miracles are part of the magic.
Squabbles & Unrest
What’s happening, however, may not please everyone or you find yourself up against opposition. This might be because other people aren’t in agreement with you or you’re worried about someone else’s behaviour or who’s influencing them. It could be an issue with a sibling or neighbour, also someone within your local community.
This is flagged up because of the position of Mercury (communication) and Mars (action). Mercury joins Mars in Cancer and your communication sector from the 4th to the 27th. The key period, however, is from the 14th to the 20th, when these two planets line up against the Saturn/Pluto/South Node combination.
This feels explosive, inflammatory and you can’t rule out a major argument or bust-up. You might be asked to decide whose side you’re on or find yourself caught up in the middle of a heated debate. As Mars is your partner planet, this could be what your partner’s involved in, their personal battle.
Take a Trip
The release comes at the Solstice on the 21st, the day the Sun moves into Cancer. This brings light to the situation and you see things differently. Use this opportunity to go somewhere new, experiment and shift your perspective on life.
Take yourself off to Stonehenge, for example, and remind yourself of the wonders of the natural world. Being philosophical about life can be the way through any challenges or difficulties that arise. Home and family are also calling, once Mercury enters Leo and this sector of your horoscope on the 27th.
