June 2015

Let’s talk about Gemini and, of course, Geminis love to talk. They seem to know a little bit about everything and a lot about a few things. They’re jack-of-all-trades and master of three or four. Plus, they know everybody, as it is their game to connect and communicate. Their range is far and wide and it’s quite surprising who they know and where they go. As one astrologer has said, “They are rarely the true cowboys, but they can play the part real well.”
Gemini is a dual sign, ruled by the twins Castor and Pollux – one was very intellectual and the other was a pugilist – and they can talk you into anything and out of anything as well. Ruled by Mercury, they are born with the gift of the gab and they make wonderful sales representatives. Gemini is also known as the sign of the thief. They can shake your hand with one hand while their other hand is in your back pocket. Light on their feet, quick as can be, you will have to get up very early to get one over on these sharpies of the zodiac. It is more likely they will have you in checkmate already.

Being born into the last of the spring signs, they often have a very youthful appearance and are connected to all things beautiful. Generally, they are tallish and slim with a quick eye although they come in all shapes and sizes. The evolved Geminis are very idealistic, highly artistic and very creative in all they do. They’re pleasant, light and airy and certainly make loyal friends and partners. The lower type Gemini, however, can be the carny barker and snake oil salesman that will not miss an opportunity to take you for a ride. Often they are amoral; if you don’t catch them at it, they didn’t do it. Hmm, maybe it was the other twin that did it.

Many teachers, writers, editors, journalists – and all other professions having to do with the written word – are Geminis. Many years ago, a few of my friends were bringing a boat up the California coast and they shipwrecked. When they were rescued and taken to a small town by the local police, wouldn’t you know it, to the utter astonishment of the others in the group, the Gemini in the group knew the hotel manager. If you have a Gemini child, fuel them with information, books and more books and stories as they thrive on all things intellectual. Highly imaginative, angelic and artistic, they need lots of stimulation as they can become easily bored.

Aries Seven out of the 10 planets are moving through the air and fire signs throughout most of the month. Aries is a fire sign and the fire and air signs work well together. Interpreted, it means you will have more success than not, less resistance and friction and more freedom to do your thing.

Taurus Saturn makes one more dip into your opposite sign Scorpio from June 16 to September 19, providing another opportunity to set things right and sort out what works and doesn’t work. Saturn’s energy is often sobering as he helps us get on track and get back to what is right and real.

Gemini Life heats up as the June new Moon and full Moon are accompanied by fiery Mars. Add retrograde Mercury opposite to Saturn and we have a planetary mix that spells out complications, delays, frays and myriad other dynamic scenarios for you to puzzle over. Excitement, action, movement, challenge and changes are in the wind.

Cancer Your solar high begins on June 21 as the Sun enters Cancer and we experience the summer solstice. Three days later, Mars enters Cancer enhancing courage and bringing action. You’re likely to be fired up about something. It’s a good time to start a construction project such as building a home or any type of renovation.

Leo Each sign has a special keyword and Leo’s keywords are “I will.” You have the willpower to do what you want, when you want and who would dare get in the Lion’s way? Venus and Jupiter cast their blessings bringing love and creative energy. Make use of this very special time by doing something unique.

Virgo Everyone marvelled at the man that walked 1,000 miles. When asked how he did it, he replied, “One step at a time.” Now it’s time for you to build slowly, step by step. What you start in 2015 -16 will come to true fruition in 2030. Then everyone will ask, “How did you do that?”

Libra The air and fire signs are favoured these days. Seven of the 10 planets cast fine energy into your sign most of the month. The chains and shackles of the past few years have fallen away and you can fly high little butterfly, fly high. Reach for the stars; you can almost touch them now.

Scorpio Be thankful for all that either comes your way or goes away at this time. We’re here to finish up our give and take and make and break indebtedness that we’ve accumulated throughout countless lifetimes. You’re getting out of debtor’s prison soon and you may be thankful you have paid your dues in spades.

Sagittarius Intense and dynamic energy is on board and the air is crackling with excitement. You’re at a crossroad of sorts and may be pondering just what to do. If a job has gone stale and you are feeling restless, it might be time to make some changes. The stars will assist if you don’t resist.

Capricorn Capricorn is old school and old guard and it is very hard to make changes easily. But change we must, by hook or by crook. Transformation is the key to survival now. Start with your health and work from there. Let the past fall away from your shoulders and welcome the future with open arms.

Aquarius Cosmic energy is pouring into your sign; in turn, you can ride it and release it in the form of wisdom and knowledge. Follow your instincts, as they are stronger and clearer than ever. It is a time of awakening and a dawning of a new life and a new love, romantic or otherwise.

Pisces You are at your best when you are in service to others in any way, shape or form. Now the stars are cooking up a plan in which you can be of service to those less fortunate than yourself. You also can win a battle, overcome your enemies and end up in fine position.
