As June begins, you’ll do best to tie up loose ends quickly. Mercury will retrograde in Cancer and Gemini from June 7 to July 1, not a time to start talks or enter a new venture. You will feel this Mercury retrograde period more strongly than usual, especially while Mercury slides backward into Cancer from June 1- 16. Rather than rail against delays, go with them. Mercury retrograde will give you a second chance to improve projects or relationships by backtracking into situations you would have done differently the first time around. Now, wiser, you can get better results.
There is another consideration. April and May were strenuous months, and you likely have been running from pillar to post. Now, with Mercury retrograde in Cancer, you will be forced (quite willingly, I hope) to relax, and let postponements and delays give you a chance to catch your breath and enjoy seeing friends who you love, but have not had a minute to arrange a lunch or dinner to see.
A work project will be completed within four days of the full moon in Sagittarius, June 12, and your work on that assignment will bring surprisingly strong and positive results to your career. A career promotion may result from the good work you did, something you’ll see by early October, and at the very least, you may hear remarkable praise for an effort well done.
Your health seems poised for an uptick too, and if you’ve been working out, you are likely to score a personal best. Choose a new sport now, and perhaps get lessons. A full moon in Sagittarius will make you strong, competitive, and eager to do well on all fronts. If you have not been taking good care of yourself, you may get a bit run down as you finish your assignment at the same time. Time for a little extra sleep, dear Cancer?
You will still need to get beyond the opposition of Mars to Uranus on June 24, when events happening at home and at the same time, those in your career, will clash loudly. You may be rattled, and certainly won’t expect what comes up, so keep your calendar clear near that date, lest you be tempted to fly off the handle when too many people will pressure you at once.
You have a bewitching social evening coming up on June 18, when Venus in Taurus and Jupiter in Cancer combine energies to spin a dream of love. Dancing or going to a concert would be a lovely way to spend this evening, as would a dinner in a fine restaurant you’ve always hoped to experience.
When it comes to love, single or attached, Venus in Taurus will bring several offers to attend events that will allow you to get out and let down your hair. Pay special attention the invitation that falls on June 18 - it is sure to be an enchanting evening, for love planet Venus in sensuous Taurus will contact Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, in Cancer. No invitation? Be sure to plan a luxurious event, from a spa visit after work, to dinner with friends, to meeting a sweetheart at a special place.
All month a partner seems to be pesky and domineering. There are several points in June where you may have to stand up for your own opinions: June 13 and possibly near the new moon, June 27. This person may not be a romantic partner, but a business collaborator or partner, so keep that in mind. Cancer can be quite strong when challenged, so I am not one bit worried about your ability to prevail.
The new moon in Cancer on June 27 will be the sole new moon in your sign in 2014, and it will allow you to reach for a dream that has, before now, been beyond your reach. Neptune will be beautifully oriented, helping you imagine a better life, and if you spend a little time daydreaming, the steps you need to take now will appear. A new moon opens a portal of powerful energy that you can harness, so vow to act quickly to improve any sphere of your life. Mercury will still be retrograde by month’s end, so you would be best not to finalize your plans quite yet - wait a few days to do so, until after July 1. If your birthday falls in June, this new moon will send you double points to enjoy - get busy!
