Mars’ Power
Mars is powering forwards this month in your star sign Aries. Mars in Aries is direct, forthright, strong & strident. This is an assertive, competitive Mars, passionate, intense and ready for action.
You too may feel your energy levels rising. It’s a good time to get physically fit, stand up for what you believe in and champion the weak. Mars in Aries is the fighter, the hero, the martial arts expert. It’s a speedy Mars that’s ready to do battle.
There’s another powerful factor involved for you and this is Chiron in Aries. Chiron is the wounded healer in mythology and Mars and Chiron come together in Aries on the 15th.
This combination flags up the theme of protest, old wounds resurfacing, perhaps a theme of injustice or wrongdoing. You may feel inspired to stand up for the underdog or feel incensed about what’s happening out in the world.
On a personal level, take care of your physical health mid-month. Mars is an impulsive planet but you’re wise to steer clear of danger and not take undue risks. Be wary of foolish actions.
As Aries rules the head, don’t dive into life head first. You might be heading to the dentist or be prone to headaches. Use Mars’ assertive nature well but don’t overdo it. Lower your stress levels so you avoid burn-out.
An old friend or confidante could prove you with useful advice or security. The key date to note is the 27th when there’s strength in numbers.
Turning Points
As the month begins, communication planet Mercury turns direct in Taurus and your personal money sector on the 3rd. There may be a chance to sort out any issues that kicked in during the recent eclipses cutting across the Taurus/Scorpio axis of the zodiac.
April & May could have been significant months for money whether you’ve been spending lots or you’re dealing with a debt situation.
Once Mercury turns direct, new information may come to light that helps you deal with finances. Chase up outstanding payments, talk to an adviser, balance the books and get back on track with what you want regarding money matters.
You have lovely Venus in Taurus until the 23rd. This is often a time when money comes in or you want to treat yourself and the ones you love.
The 11th could be lively when Venus meets unpredictable Uranus. There’s no guarantee whether this coincides with a financial high or low. It depends how willing you are to take a risk.
Gemini Time
Gemini is the sign of the moment throughout June. This is where you find the Sun up until the 21st, the day of the Solstice. Plus, the swift-moving planet of communication Mercury returns to Gemini on the 13th.
This means that lively activity is taking place in the sector of your horoscope which rules communication, both the spoken and written word. Use this planetary energy to initiate important conversations, line up meetings and get the ball rolling. There may be a lot to clear up after the three week Mercury retrograde phase which began on May 10th.
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 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.
Full Moon Vibes
There may be another reason why you want to extend your social or professional network. This is linked to the Full Moon in Sagittarius on the 14th. The Full Moon cuts across the education sectors of your horoscope. Plus, Sagittarius’ ruling planet Jupiter is currently in your star sign Aries.
Put all this together and it’s an excellent time to focus on study or teaching. You might be lining up a course for the new academic year in September 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 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.
Solstice Emotions
There’s a turning point on the 21st, the day of the Solstice, when the Sun moves into Cancer, the star sign at the base of your horoscope. Cancer rules your home and family, your past and where you come from.
Letting go of the past isn’t always easy, especially when there are emotional or financial attachments in place. Ultimately, however, this teaches you the power of love. When you open your heart fully to other people, you allow yourself to feel the depths of your vulnerability.
As the Sun enters Cancer, this may provide you with an opportunity to feel your feelings deeply. There’s nearly always a blessing or a gift to be found when you do so. The New Moon in Cancer on the 29th, a symbol of new beginnings, could lead the way.
