Horoscope for the Week of June 6, 2004

Tip of the Week:

The Venus/Sun Occultation happens on Tuesday June 8 this year. This is a relatively rare event and some are making this out to be something very significant and special. People are saying that this event symbolizes the return of the Goddess. The overall Astrology chart of the event indicates an awakening to new perceptions of current reality. With Mars and Saturn in close alignment in the sign of Cancer, renovations and assertiveness or perhaps outright aggression is possible. Of course, there are people and places in the world that are already experiencing such hardships and woe. While there are indications of reviving the past, our challenge is to build upon the future with current realities in mind and with an appreciation of the recent and ancient past. In any case, tune in with others to celebrate this rare event.

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)

You are in the mood to do it all with your five senses on full. Communications, short trips, errands and social gatherings with friends, of course, are on the agenda. This surface excitement bubbles above the deeper themes. These include facing fears and making shifts, changes and renovations close to home. Your actual environment and perhaps your overall emotional state are where the inner action is. Do not look back as you build upon new foundations.

Taurus (Apr 21- May 20)

You are multi talented in your slow, sure way. Confidence in your abilities is an important factor now. There is always room for improvement, yet you are probably much better at the things you do than you acknowledge. You are becoming more independent on a variety of fronts, but this does not mean that you need to be alone! Now is a good time to express your many gifts and talents with friends and in the market place. Like yourself and do not take things personally.

Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)

Many new beginnings are now underway with the Sun in your sign. Moves, shifts, renovations and restructuring of your life are all underway. Fortunately, you have reason to celebrate as blessings are coming your way. Your core life lesson these days are to be present in the moment and expect the unexpected. You can assist this process with awareness of breathing fully and by exercising gratitude. Open-up to the person you are and are becoming.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 21)

Enjoying a quiet, peaceful and dreamy state is a central theme now. Even though your plate may be full with duties, errands and cultural activities, you can go about your day with calm centeredness, if you choose. Reserve your right to take naps and space as often as you need to. This trend will only last a couple more weeks so take full advantage while you can. The pace will hasten as summer comes on.

Leo (Jul 22 - Aug 21)

Enjoying social activities with friends new and old is in the spotlight. All the while, you can tend to business interests, plans and contacts as well as other more sober realities. Many opportunities are one of the bigger themes. Knowing which friends and activities to tend to first is leading you to weigh your priorities. Practical investments of one kind or another are likely especially this week. Mix work with pleasure as you can. Be willing to flow with destiny.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 23)

Many new beginnings in your public and professional life are keeping you busy these days. You feel expansive, ambitious and rebellious all at the same time. Things could be very good for you on career fronts. However, certain changes and perhaps endings must also occur for you to advance to the next level and round of experiences. Trust that destiny is at play and remember that nature knows nothing about social convention. Peace!

Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 21)

Your wisdom mind is active these days. This might include both subtle and visionary insights. Travel, adventure and cultural activities are good probabilities now as well. Financial considerations remain central. The key is to trust that all will be well no matter what the facts say. Faith and trust are the most important investments you can make now. Accept this period of transition and renovation and express gratitude for all that you do have.

Scorpio (Oct 22 - Nov 20)

You have been successively peeling the layers and this process continues. While some research and investigation may be necessary now, it might be a good idea to let your body handle some of the mental and emotional currents you are experiencing. This does not mean stuff your thoughts and feelings, it means get into your body with movement, exercise, dance and intimacy. Let your whole being deal with the life currents and rhythms.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 - Dec 20)

Communications and other exchanges on relationship fronts ask that you exercise full diplomacy now. This implies listening deeply and double-checking your communications by playing back what others mean and making sure that they understand you as well. You are supposed to be going through changes now and these include moves and renovations. Your sense of self, your home and your career are aspects of the plot. Trust that divine intelligence is at play!

Capricorn (Dec 21 - Jan 19)

Tending to the 'nitty gritty' details is a main theme now. I hope that you are not overdoing it and there is reason to say that you might be. Your overall perceptions are changing and you might be swinging to extremes. If others feel that this is so, be open to their pleas and advice. What goes around comes around and you may not like a backlash of petty perceptions. This is a good time, however, to make investments and handle business affairs that require reading the fine print.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 19)

You are now in a creative leadership cycle. This is a good time to create and advance with new ideas and projects. Things might go especially well with the assistance of another or others you can rely upon. Your ability to conceive of great ideas these days might be much better than trying to carry them out on your own. On the other hand, this is a good time to be sharpening skills new and old. Courses, hands-on experience and/or mentors will prove advantageous over the next year or so.

Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)

Tending to projects, business and other creative activities close to home continues. Avoid thinking too much and be willing to get your hands dirty. Opportunities to express your inspirations and illustrate your talents are coming your way. Your sense of balance and proportion and your sensitivity to colour are strong now. Call your talents 'gifts from a past life'. In any case, hands-on activities for you now are the call!
