CANCER TIME: 21st June - 23rd July

ARIES: This is the time of year in which the Sun is activating your home and your inner life a great deal; time for bit of reflection and self–nurturing. Yes, you CAN do those things. It´s like gestation – worth the effort. The new moon on 25th June is a useful time for you to think or do something about property, in a small or big way. Venus enters Gemini on the 24th June, a sign that happily sits with Aries; and she will make it very easy to say and negotiate in creative and loving ways. Use this time until the 18th July to get your way at work or with partners!

TAURUS: You Taureans, who by nature are fairly cautious, can have a holiday from that trait this month, as the Sun and Mercury are tripping through your communicative arena of your chart. With Venus, who rules money as well as love, in your actual money house, expect some nice surprises. Oh, and don't forget to initiate money making ideas as well. Mars is activating your unconscious life so be prepared for past issues to rear their heads – remember they are YOUR emotions so don´t be too subjective.

GEMINI: A good month for your finances. You airy people will find it easier than usual to come to ground and make productive plans and initiate projects. Help others in this area as well. They´ll be grateful and help you at a later time in return. Your ruling planet, Mercury, is about to turn retrograde next month for 3 weeks, so apply the prefix, "re", to whatever you do. Look both ways and weigh things up well. Money owed to you could be returned. Venus is in your ascendant now, so don´t be surprised if you have a sudden admirer, or if an ex, reappears. Maybe both! Again, weigh up your options well.

CANCER: Don´t overload yourself this month, or a little bit of burn out may occur. Yes, the "force" is with you now but as a water sign it is easy to get exhausted from your own and others emotions, so pace yourself when you can. In fact, with Venus in the "retreat" area of your chart, the romantic side of you will pull you towards the arts and daydreaming. If you get your timing right, you will draw some very nice things and people to you. Use the Full Moon on 11th July to pull off a deal well or ask for what you want. Renovations in your home or office will be significant this month.

LEO: With Mars and Saturn in Leo at this time, you are being urged to be, like a military tactician, strategic in your plans now. For the last year you Leos have got used to needing to define yourselves better and to be patient. This is still with you for another year but with Mars activating matters your patience may be wearing thin – it´s too easy to be unwisely impulsive. So be wise and keep planning! You will have some opportunities this month to make your influence felt and be noticed. New friends and team activities are on the horizon now. Keep a sense of perspective. Others respect you more than you realise.

VIRGO: Career matters can forge ahead now. So don´t be shy! Things behind the scenes are working in your favour, and you yourself are certainly not lacking in imagination and ideas. You may get the opportunity to head a team or group. If that doesn´t fit with what is going on in your life, why don´t you start something up? It´s the ideal time. Friends and employers can be helpful now. Forget hierarchy – and expect to be treated as an equal more. Getting the balance between details and the bigger picture in a certain area of your life is necessary this month.

LIBRA: With Venus in an airy sign like your own now and activating your travel house, people will notice your more adventurous side. Obviously, it is a good time to travel far and wide but, if you can't, create an activity that uses your sense of freedom and spontaneity. If you have been thinking of being more independent, whether at work or within a relationship, this is an ideal month to reflect properly on this, weigh up the pros and cons, then take action after the Sun moves into Leo on 23rd July.

SCORPIO: Another sign that is due for some travelling now. You have the Sun and Mercury in that arena now. You sure don´t want to be cooped up. Also, the deep philosophical side of you wants to share your opinions and knowledge with the world. So, to avoid overdoing the latter, maybe join a group or do a course where the "meaning of life" is the subject.

Certainly, "expansion" is your keyword this month, so allow yourself the openings and avenues to accommodate this energy. Your sensual side is demanding some attention as well so encourage partners or lovers to be open-minded as well .

SAGITTARIUS: A month perhaps to take a look at what you don´t want or what you should be releasing. In fact, this is a time, if you can go with the flow of it, to have some endings – so you can then have new beginnings. You know what you have to do. It just takes some trust and application. New people for you are literally waiting in the wings on the stage of your life. But they won´t wait forever! Matters unresolved need attending to now.

The philosopher within you is bigger than you know so have courage and really move forward with your life. Oh, and know that you can be a very good teacher this month!

CAPRICORN: Well, with the Sun crossing the descendant horizon of your horoscope, you are in a good position to influence people and close some sales. In fact, your timing is so good that you can pull off most things you want now. And, with lady Venus in your employment area, subtle changes at work and with colleagues will please you. Use the times of the new and Full Moons – 25th June and 11th July – to good effect. Your antenna is strong then. A love interest at work may surprise you. In any case people will notice your charisma.

AQUARIUS: A lot of activity is going on – or wants to go on – in your working life! If you are freelance in any way, get a move on with projects and, if employed, get those tasks that are piling up done. Your mind is over active now, but you may not be grounding things enough. The trouble is, with Venus going through your play area, you can be easily distracted. Structure and a calendar would help now! Are you finding your magnetism is drawing people to you more? Observe it all, but make no commitments till the end of July if possible. Your ruler, Uranus, goes retrograde on 19th July, so already start to balance out your maverick side with your more conservative one.

PISCES: Ah! What a perfect time for you dreamers to have some play time, romantically, creatively etc. A lot of planetary activity in that sunny area of your chart augurs well for just those things. And, with Venus going through your career sector, you can make things progress for you relatively effortlessly. Less is more now when it comes to trying and effort! Children may be significant this month and, certainly, the child in you wants a big say. If you are engaged in sports, watch out for mild accident proneness or a lack of coordination. Keep a bit of discipline in your life at this time. Enjoy this month! People will love to be around you.

Till Soon,
Ysanne
