Soul-searching Cancer wields its influence through most of the month. Cancer rules over hearth and home, the "private life" that elicits so much paranoia and so many protection-compulsions in America. What lurks beneath the edifices of your home and skin? have you been ignoring something or someone?
Family dynamics and dysfunctions demand much attention; so do spasms of co-dependency as we roll through ultra-empathetic, I-literally-feel-your-pain Cancer. Biological clocks tock with more insistence.
We experience a lunar eclipse on the 5th as Madame Venus simultaneously jumps into Gemini. The Moon's fullness in Capricorn is shadowed by Earth, probably provoking some hissing as ambitions are left groping in the dark. Success is gained in illogical ways. Different lights are shed on authority figures. Madame Venus emphasizes quantity in relationships; eclectic arrays of people are in the mood to chat you up. Networking abounds. Conversation teems. The Madame indulges in a tryst with authoritative Big Daddy Saturn on the 15th, invoking new ways of wielding influence; new ideas about purpose in life seek manifestation.
On the 12th we experience both scheming Mercury and expansive Jupiter slipping into Cancer. Mercury draws thoughts and ideas into security issues, family and home. Jupiter's one-year jaunt through maternal and homey Cancer accentuates collective issues of homes, the homeless, agriculture, DNA and history. On a personal level, Jupiter's jaunt through Cancer triggers nostalgia and pining for a hearth of one's own. Cancer is a soul-full archetype; Jupiter through Cancer draws one into their soul for redemption and/or re-creation of life based upon what feeds the soul.
Warrior Mars finally pivots into forward motion on the 19th after an awry ten-week retrograde trip. Mars rules over the initial thrust of beginnings; his retrograde motion probably impeded a sense of "forward march" in some aspect of your life. You may have had to go backward in order to go more fully forward. Mars also rules over the pesky ego, or how one defines the Self. While Mars is moving backward, outer influences that play too much of a hand in self-definition tend to reveal a previously unbeknownst or unrealized obnoxiousness so that one can "go back to the Self" rather than rely too heavily on others to feel right with the Self. As Mars pivots into forward motion, we should have a stronger, snappier and perhaps even a more delightfully belligerent sense of Self. Confidence flexes new muscles. Initiative is less apt to be hampered, as well. Proceed!
 Aries The direction of your ambition is apt to experience some shifts. Either you are distracted by a more tasty potential or you consciously de-rail your self from tracks that are going nowhere. Or maybe you're rehabilitating and re-grouping on the sands of a sunny locale; or perhaps you've nestled yourself into a deep sofa in order to negotiate the maze of soul searching. Madame Venus, ruler of relationships and personal desire, jumps into Gemini, adding wit and delightful diversions to your life. Indulge whimsy. Jupiter enters homey, cozy and soul-full Cancer on the 12th, triggering a new one-year cycle of expansion based on what feeds your soul (as opposed to your soul being fed upon). Thinking Mercury also enters the Crab on the 12th, drawing your thoughts into security issues. Home and family are in an attention-getting mood. Your ruler, unruly Mars, finally staggers into direct motion on the 19th as the Moon simultaneously reaches new positioning; Mars is better able to tread ahead, boldly going where he has not gone before; the new moon is indicative of "beginnings." Onward! and wash limitations out of your hair. Include "passion, pursuits and creative self-expression" in your agenda once we lope into generous-of-self Leo on the 22nd. Wear love beads while shooting your wad (anew). |
 Taurus Connections abound. Negotiations move and shake during the season of Cancer. Phones wink and buzz; e-mail is flush; ponder and discuss the possibilities with others. You appear particularly trustworthy while security-conscious Cancer is emphasized in your stance. Cartography is accentuated; new routes open, especially as Mars pivots into direct motion on the 19th. Your ruler, Madame Venus, shifts into fluctuating Gemini on the 5th, endowing you with almost an entire month of spicy variety where your desires are concerned. Your self-worth ups its value in spite of occasional belches of complicated self-doubts. Your earning potential is sweetened. On the 12th, both scheming Mercury and expansive Jupiter slip into Cancer, further enhancing the above mentioned routing trend; the tracks and trails you blaze are more numerous or more further flung (or why not both). Mars, unruly ruler of initiative, pivots into direct motion on the 19th; this is most fortuitous for a transformed Taurean re-entry into the world; long-term goals take precedence over knee-jerking reactions in the day-to-day scene. We lope into fiery and regal Leo on the 22nd -- build an empire; sport a crown. |
 Gemini You're probably feeling more touchy and testy than usual; people get under skin with more zeal. The emotional, soul-full rivers that run deep in your essence are seeking more meaningful connections in the world -- superficiality takes a backseat to benders of depth. Your desires are less ambiguous, urging you to create or get what you want. Specific hankerings and missions can elicit concentrated streaks of obsession. The sensual pleasures of life beckon you; loll in the sun, graze on tasty food and personalities. Madame Venus jumps into Gemini on the 5th, sweetening your presence in the schemes of your situations. Confidence is more inclined to strut rather than stoop. Saturn continues his trip further into Gemini, emphasizing reformation of your purpose in the world; identity changes are also on the psychic agenda -- flaunt fresh and frisky senses of your self. Your ruler, plotting Mercury, skips into Cancer on the 12th; self-worth and earning potential are emphasized. Expansive Jupiter also moves into Cancer on the 12th, kicking-off a new year-long cycle of income resources; your tastes also experience transformation. Whatever you've set in motion in recent history (say from April/May of this year) is scheduled to render effects to your causes as Mars, ruler of initiative, pivots into forward motion on the 19th. Tension-ridden relationships snap, sink or swim. Immobilized situations finally peel-out; the ominous "future" aligns as Mars pivots -- more distinct horizons wink at you in come-hitherly fashion. |
 Cancer Happy Birthday, Crabs. Slip into dominatrix gear and wield thy power. You're an initiate, re-defining your self. Conscious changes applied to priorities and the roles you play can certainly provoke an array of reactions from those who have become accustomed to you in certain, well-defined ways. Saturn's continuing jaunt through Gemini assists you in shedding outworn facets of your self that are proving to be more tiring than inspiring. What is missing from your life? and what passé, cumbersome aspects of your life do you need to drop-kick in order to fill empty? Madame Venus, ruler of desire and relationships, shifts into Gemini on the 5th, further enhancing the above mentioned shedding thrills. Thinking Mercury and expansive Jupiter slip into Cancer on the 12th. Mercury offers you more certainty where doubt was previously causing you to clench and hesitate. Jupiter triggers a one year cycle of ego overhaul; you re-organize your life and where you apply your ample energies in rhythm with the shifts that occur within you. Jupiter is an educational archetype; consequently you kick-off a new cycle of learning and/or teaching. Mars, audacious ruler of initiative and war, pivots into direct motion on the 19th, unleashing changes in your authority, responsibilities and Cancerian fashion -- dress anew for neo-success. |
 Leo Madonna, a Leo sun sign native, is in the midst of her "Drowned World" tour; this is an especially fortuitous theme for Lions during the season of watery and super-sensitive Cancer. In addition to feeling some sympathy with the sacrificial nature of the lyrics of Drowned World(Substitute for Love), you are also confronted with oceanic-like perspectives that can certainly wow and awe you, perhaps even humble you as you feel personally (gasp) smaller in the whole spectrum of society, humanity and cosmos. The infinite and weird waters of your subconscious and unconscious are lively, screwing with your usually comfortable depiction of reality. Although Cancer, symbolized by a tough-shelled crab, features armor, your fortresses are leaking, leaving you with a heightened sense of vulnerability and fragility; you'll probably have to wade through what you fear (rather than elude it); this is probably a good time to mention that the more open you are, the less limited you are to interesting and probably illogical new routes. Madame Venus cuts you some slack as she travels through versatile Gemini; you can connect with supportive niches in both your professional and private realms. Jupiter careens into Cancer on the 12th, accentuating behind-the-scenes activities; trysts in clandestine, corner booths are featured along with backbeat rather than front-person positions. You'll shed outworn formulas of success, leaving wide-open possibilities in untried terrains. You're becoming aces in spiritual connections; sometimes you have to hang onto spiritual shoestrings with your teeth. Aggressive Mars pivots into forward motion on the 19th, getting a freaking show on the road -- again. On the 22nd, our lope into Leo should cause your tail to twitch with initiative. |
 Virgo Family and friends are highlighted. Platonic relationships prevail. You are also endowed with relationship dynamics that feature a tasty double edge of passion and amity; you may also be confronted with a friend who reveals amorous feelings; you could also be hit on by those you find as attractive as a pot of cottage cheese. Your soul is fed via kindred souls and mixing with your ilk. Venus sweetens your professional sphere; rubbing elbows gathers personal gain; well-merited flattery fans your ambition and your confidence. Venus embraces authoritative and professional-emphasized Saturn on the 15th, further accentuating new manifestations in your sphere of purpose and influence. On the 12th your ruler, thinking and plotting Mercury, moves into Cancer, providing you with purposes in the world that are like gloves fashioned for the work that your hands desire. Jupiter, our largesse of expansion, also moves into cozy Cancer on the 12th, triggering a year-long cycle of new bridges to build. New goals and shelved aims unwind into the surface of your life seeking expression in the world. Cancer is a maternal sign and Jupiter's position in your life over the next year is apt to align you with a needy cause that is in want of your ardor and skills. Aggressive Mars finally pivots into direct motion on the 19th; endings and beginnings peel-out toward more clear-cut resolutions and initiations; vague situations solidify, ceasing their slipping-through-the-fingers antics. Our lope into Leo on the 22nd further emphasizes the weird threshold that lies between endings and beginnings. |
 Libra The season of Cancer accentuates your professional sphere. Your authority is ascending and it consequently attracts applause as well as adversity, support as well as jealousy. Responsibilities begin to pile as expansive Jupiter enters Cancer, enhancing the tasks within your sphere of purpose and profession over the next year. Cancer is a maternal archetype; consequently, you are apt to be drawn into birthing new projects and overseeing those who are inclined to grip the apron strings of your authority. Your planetary ruler, Madame Venus, jumps into Gemini on the 5th, bestowing you with diplomacy; however, don't let the duality of Gemini get out of hand or you could find yourself impossibly nodding and agreeing to two or more opposing camps -- no, you can't please all the people all the time. Venus embraces authoritative and workaholic Saturn on the 15th, initiating a new cycle of stressors. This is also a prime time to drop-kick outworn beliefs that are cramping your trip -- the Venus/Saturn connection will taunt you with the limiting ideas and beliefs that need to be shed, especially if you are unconscious of them -- repeated vexations are like flares trying to get your attention. Thinking Mercury slides into Gemini on the 12th, adding a dose of nostalgia to your sentimental streaks. When you are work you think about home; when you are at home you think about work. Warrior Mars finally pivots into direct motion on the 19th; you'll feel less like you are being detained in a town in a David Lynch film. Mars rules over aggression and initiative; his movement out of retrograde motion on the 19th enables you to implement aggression and initiative without so much flack. New paths beckon the tread of your soles. |
 Scorpio

 Sagittarius The season of Cancer accentuates regeneration and transformation in Life of Sagittarius. The pendulum of your moods is subject to wide swings between comedy and tragedy. As the sub-terrains of your essence are activated, your perspective is apt to be intense and penetrating, leaving you both wiser and more cynical in superficial settings. Insecurities jerk their knees; fears confront. Power is also a pivotal issue -- how do you exert yours? and when does it shrink? situations invite you to exercise your potency where you have not done so in the past. Madame Venus, ruler of desire and relationship dynamics, jumps into Gemini on the 5th, emphasizing almost an entire month of people sporting all sorts of interesting and sordid perceptions. You are flexing strength differently, especially as warrior Mars pivots into direct motion on the 19th. Mars has been moving retrograde in Sagittarius since 11 May, throwing you back into your self for re-identification purposes. Our jaunt through Cancer is like a plot arc and epilogue in this chapter of Sagittarian transformation; the direct motion maneuver of Mars on the 19th coincides with our entry into Leo on the 22nd; you are re-entering the world in a very changed way. Your planetary ruler, expansive and generally optimistic Jupiter, slips into Cancer on the 12th, triggering a new one-year cycle of long range goals. Resolutions of suspenseful situations trigger you toward new horizons and tactics. Inner changes also play into the motion of Jupiter's wheel of fortune. |
 Capricorn Relationship dynamics are especially emphasized. Sometimes these dynamics are sumptuous, other times they are . Allies, adversaries, friends, foes, partners and paramours are highlighted. Relationship dynamics defy superficiality and a petty tyrant or two can definitely provoke you to rise to new occasions. Security issues in relationships are especially emphasized; deeper, deeper you plunge into what causes you to cringe. You can overcome a fear-based limitation. Endings and beginnings are featured in relationships whether you elbow-out high-maintenance peoples or whether you experience transformation in particularly provocative relationships in both your personal and professional realms. Madame Venus, ruler of relationships and desire, travels through Gemini, emphasizing cooperation with others, health (psychic and physical) and giving form to ideas. Fashion is also accentuated; how would you like to appear? Thinking Mercury and expansive Jupiter enter Cancer on the 12th. Mercury draws your mind into deeper negotiations. Jupiter triggers a one-year cycle of personal expansion with others. You are opened-up through others; likewise, you also open-up others. Aggressive Mars pivots into forward motion on the 19th; his ten week retrograde trip probably caused a major "pause" in your life as far-reaching questions regarding "what now?" evolved amidst a syndrome of slate-cleaning, sacrifice and surrender. Mars rules over the fiery initial thrust that is needed for any beginning; his pivot into forward motion clears the fog from your compass; you begin re-arriving into the world with a lighter step. |
 Aquarius The season of super-sensitive Cancer emphasizes emotions; mood rings are scheduled to implode while so many feelings surge and subside with such ferocious extremity. Aquarians tend to go for an objective stance, however this month you should have a box of Kleenex on hand while emotions are so anxiously slipping through the loopholes of objectivity. Psychology is accentuated whether you are soliciting interpretations of Rorschach prints or whether you are psychically tumbling in front of a nodding therapist. Cooperation with others is also highlighted -- you'll have to draw people out and then posse them into the proverbial group hug. Cancer is maternal by nature and so your maternal instincts are steadily and hungrily eyed by the needy -- vice grips can be so cumbersome; extol the virtues of initiative and autonomy. Oh, and as slaving rhythms are also accentuated, you'll probably literally work your ass off; be sure to schedule time to unwind or else it won't happen. Madame Venus jumps through Gemini, sometimes distorting the size of situations; deflate and defuse pettiness that strives for a mythic facade. Thinking Mercury and expansive Jupiter slip into Cancer on the 12th. Re-organization and personnel switches are highlighted. Over the next year Jupiter insists that there are ways to make your life easier. Aggressive Mars finally pivots into forward motion on the 19th; his ten week retrograde jaunt probably interfered with your forward motion, enabling you to further reflect on the directions you would like to take (and the directions you would like to cease). As Mars forward-marches, your routes feature more clarity and your strides feature more confident moxie. Onward ho. |
 Pisces Your passion is unreasonable, immoderate and immodest during the season of Cancer. Let 'er rip. You've got a lot to give and so your magnanimity is a largesse. If you're a politician, you'll persuade; if you're a car salesperson, you'll exceed quota; if you're a performer, you'll upstage the greatest of scenery chewers; your influence is hefty; your leadership abilities are guruesque. Romance is champing at the bit for action, however during the season of maternal-instinct Cancer you are likely to attract Oedipally complex love interests; existing partners and paramours are likely to cling. At some point you'll have to let someone solve their own problems. Madame Venus, ruler of desire and relationship dynamics, jumps into Gemini on the 5th, emphasizing an eclectic array of connections in your home and in your 'hood; networking moves and shakes within your abode whether you throwing a few stimulating soirees or whether your communication devices are maniacally smacking their lips. A big shift occurs on the 12th as both thinking-cap Mercury and expansive Jupiter slip into soul-full Cancer. Mercury invokes mythic-proportioned perception. Jupiter triggers a one-year cycle of spine-tingling thrills in creative ventures, romantic interludes and competitive maneuvering; your confidence enlarges -- wear a tiara. Children are also on the agenda over the next year whether you are birthing actual babes or projects that are personally important (and potent) for you. Travel enlarges your life.
