June 2000


The mental acrobatics of Gemini indicate that you can indeed be in two places at the same time.

Gemini not only sees at least two sides of a situation, Gemini can also be at least two sides of a situation. Embrace duality; raise an eyebrow at duplicity. Decision-making breeds during the season of the Twins as if to taunt, tease and otherwise screw-with the dialectical inclinations of this sign. Seize the Gemini energy for versatility, adaptability and landing on your feet. Gemini naturally rules over scampish and communicative Mercury, endowing you with a perfect time to catch-up on conversations via telephone, electronic mail, good old land mail correspondence or carrier pigeons. Documentation becomes a compulsion; stock up on a variety of pens, pencils and paper. Agendas and commuting explode. Flexibility proceeds from the rigidity needed during our recent jaunt through fixed Taurus. Coin-flipping ensues and contracts beg to be signed and bickered-over. Haggle with abandon. Cartography is a Gemini domain and the bulk of June beseeches us to explore and create alternate routes.

Mercury, naturally co-ruled by Gemini (with Virgo), rules over thieves? what a perfect time for a heist.

Miss Luna is new early on the 2nd while Mars and Uranus are simultaneously feeling potent and unruly. The dark undersides of situations (and your mind) are itching for expression, particularly while Miss Luna lifts a skirt, revealing many mysteries and vulnerabilities previously not reckoned.

Additionally, Madame Venus flips-off power play Pluto in the first three days of June; Venus' insolence and Pluto's overkill reaction dishevels the coif of relationship dynamic hair do's -- this is fabulous if you are trying to ditch someone and bit unsettling if bonds are shaken and stirred.

Smoke a post plot arc something on the 4th.

The 5th through the 9th feature grandstanding duels and inflated egos followed by (finally) cooperation (after much ado). The weekend of the 10th is restless while both the Sun and Venus are connecting with frisky and risky Uranus. Restless, listless situations are thrilled at hazarding risks.

We gain momentum toward a Full Moon the week of the 12th; Miss Luna climaxes in fiery and freedom-lovin' Sagittarius on the 16th as warrior Mars careens into super-sensitive Cancer. Miss Luna Sambas and declares "don't fence me in" while Mars clings to her curvaceous thighs. Mars through Cancer is like a snake ripping through snares, clogs and blind spots in emotional plumbing.

Madame Venus joins Mars in Cancer on the 18th; she sings "everybody needs somebody sometime" while scrambling eggs. Sentimentality seeks expression, especially if you are usually inclined to hide it behind a tough fortress.

Our entry into Cancer on the 20th prompts urges (and compulsions) to nestle and nest; private life seeks protection during a public-spectacle emphasized epoch. Cancer is a hyper-sensitive water sign and so it periodically seeks escape from involuntary jags of empathy and sympathy -- vices that anesthetize squeal with glee.

And Mercury embarks into his second retrograde cycle of the year on 23 June. His backward movement through sentimental Cancer arouses tenacious nostalgia and imagination benders. Relationships of the past have a knack for re-appearing in misty eyed fashion.

  Aries
Your mind is both titillating and tortuous. While the greatest plots, schemes and ideas are boomeranging within your impressive cerebrum, you are inspired and indecisive, confident and apprehensive. Thought takes precedence over action in the season of Gemini -- your ace up the sleeve is setting in motion the above mentioned plots and schemes. Your planetary ruler, warrior Mars, shape-shifts into Sensitive Man Sporting A Ponytail as he careens into sympathetic Cancer on the 16th; your hidden inner soft spots are duly fondled, jabbed and otherwise provoked; people will queue-up in order to cling to the apron strings of your nurturing aura; your position becomes more defensive and reactive than offensive and influential. Your more pesky obsessions and insecurities are scheduled to badger you while thinking Mercury is traveling through tenacious Cancer. As Mercury slips into retrograde motion on the23rd, you can move unfinished and unfulfilled potentials across a finish line while also closing chapters of unresolved, idling emotional Angst. Our entry into Cancer on the 20th emphasizes home, skeletons in closets and soul baring bonanzas.

Taurus
Flip-off your astrological reputation of plodding. Your versatility is especially aroused this month, giving you an edge in earning some dough from a variety of means, ways and ends. Networking proves to be preposterously expansive. In relationships you can either play the field with spicy variety abandon or you can indulge in some new lip-smacking roles with a specific beloved. Self-reliance proves to work like an erector set on your essence through mid-June -- stand tall and endow us (and strong-arm us) with your personal worth. On the 16th and 18th, Mars and Venus careen into Cancer, respectively; co-dependent dynamix of relationships runneth over. Our entry into Cancer on the 20th tightens the vice-grip of high-maintenance peoples. Mercury's retrograde motion maneuver on the 23rd brings back unfinished business, even if you considered that a case was indeed closed.

Gemini
Combat can be stimulating; conquests are all the more tasty when they have been hard won. Gemini is a savvy sting artist; the trick through the 15th is sitting on your trigger-happy hands; rather than assuming a reactionary role, put others in a position that requires a response to you. As Mars careens into hyper-sensitive Cancer on the 16th, you are scheduled to fight for your worth -- you may have to bust a groove where you are treated wantonly (the thrill of risk winks amidst the nausea of change). Our entry into Cancer on the 20th gooses Hunger; splurging and drooling shall be included in your agenda. Your ruler, scampish Mercury, somersaults into another retrograde motion cycle on the 23rd; communication is possessed by rascally spirits of frustration through 17 July; however, you'll probably be able to collect money that was owed to you prior to Mercury's retrograde maneuver.

Cancer
Until we careen into Cancer on 20 June, a retreat is often best approach. Even though your mind is a frisky alpha male replete with the proverbial hard-on, your positioning during the Gemini season is vulnerable to seemingly random and arbitrary non-sense. Your greatest weaknesses and fears scamper out into the forefront of your psyche, beckoning to become great strengths through daily exercises (and exorcises). You're seductive, but people are apt to misinterpret you as they project their bizarre fantasies on you as if you are Narcissus' pool of water; define your self lest you be defined. As Mars charges into Cancer on the 16th, you'll feel a rush of commandeering compulsions; you'll meet worthwhile opponents to your commandeering compulsions. Our entry into the Crab on the 20th puts you in firmer positioning while also goosing your confidence and energy. Mercury's retrograde motion maneuver on the 23rd urges you to sketch new self-portraits through 17 July.

Leo
Your generosity is challenged by receptivity; sometimes it is better to get than to give; sometimes it is better to attract than attack. You could find your self on the receiving end of options that you didn't anticipate while pursuing very specific goals. Choice is luxury and your options are opulent. Keep a few cards close to your chest until the end of July; it will take this long for endings and beginnings to defy impishly amorphous tendencies. You rub elbows and hips with kindred ilksters in cosmic fashion; the more steadfast relationships will probably bond behind the scenes, perhaps in discotheques, grottos, dark conference rooms or opium dens. As we enter Cancer on the 20th, you are officially under a bell jar, alienated from the present time but attuned to future waves. Mercury's retrograde motion maneuver on the 23rd prods second-guesses and changes of heart & mind onto the scene.

Virgo
The season of Gemini shines at the apex of the Virgo solar chart. Your visibility, influence and authority are resplendent; you are a commotion. Whether you are creating a scandal or whether you are maintaining the security of status quo, you are difficult to ignore. Your public persona dukes it out with the your private world -- and thus questions of conscience scamper to the surface of your life. Your professional life requires multi-tasking versatility -- limber up and don't fret and sweat over ample changes to agendas (use pencil). You have a knack for linking with people who can further personal goals and desires that you shelved or sat on. Your planetary ruler, thinking Mercury, defies logic through the end of July as he skips through temperamental Cancer. Mercury's retrograde motion maneuver on the 23rd urges people past, present and future to get under your skin. You'll have to draw people out of their shells. Snicker at passive aggression before you drop-kick it.

Libra
Over-indulgence in philosophical wank-offs can leave you paralyzed. Our jaunt through thinking thinking thinking Gemini invokes dialogue with others; however, you'll want to inject action, probably risky, into long-winded, tail chasing, stalling bull sessions. Don't question divine inspiration, in spite of objections by those who are afraid of change. You could short-circuit some of your sumptuous synapses if you try to appease too many opinions; you could wind-up mashed in the middle of two sides that you attempt to play against each other. As we enter Cancer on the 20th, your leadership and trend-bending abilities are exhibitionists; lead rather than follow -- chortle at polls in these changeable times. Mercury careens into retrograde motion on the 23rd, arousing changes, shifts and rearrangements; you'll re-work your skirt again and again as provocative situations do performance art in Theater of the Absurd; however, Mercury's emphasis on the past gives you an opportunity to resuscitate ambitions that were shelved in the past.

Scorpio
Your magnetism is mighty and your charisma is dangerous. While exuding an aura of such potent proportions, all of you is apt to be grabbed at, including the darker undersides of your life that you would rather not expose. The season of thinking Gemini invokes some difficult decision-making; you'll toss coins ad infinitum before faithfully leaping into another mysterious dimension of change. Power plays bring color to your cheeks; consider the worth of desires and battles lest you feel empty and hungry after so much petty ado. Keep ashtrays on hand as you're scheduled to rise from your own ashes a few times through 17 July. As warrior Mars enters circular Cancer on the 16th, ideological quarrels can leave you dizzy; touchiness and defensiveness prevails. Our entry into Cancer on the 20th accentuates necessary policy and people changes in apprehensive, clingy scenes. Mercury's retrograde motion maneuver on the 23rd opens up investigations and other revelation-seeking thrills; previously hidden facets and faces of situations are illuminated.

Sagittarius
Relationship dynamix are moody and unpredictable. Your freedom-lovin' archetypal nature is bound and chained to Others. Your usually snappy strides are weighed down and diverted by Others. Necessarily shared resources heighten a sense of connection (and reliance) to Others. While relationship vexations and power plays are sometimes great, there is also a latent strain of passion that blisters to the surface of your life. As warrior Mars careens into Cancer on the 16th, Miss Luna is also full in Sagittarius, goosing a plot arc as to how Others are interpreting you; you'll be prompted to fight not only for your self but also for others, as well. As we enter the Crab on the 20th, you easily slip into someone else's darkness -- carry a flashlight and music that can loosen the most rigid of personalities (I suggest Johnny Guitar Watson). Mercury's retrograde maneuver on the 23rd says you'll be pulled into someone else's screw-up. You can shriek "freedom at last!" mid-July.

Capricorn
Your ever-increasing agenda of duties can leave you feeling drawn & quartered, stretched on a rack, or (insert tension-ridden image here). If you don't take care of your self with as much zeal as you take care of everything and everyone else, you are scheduled for a dramatic collapse. Mercury plays a scampish role in your life by taunting "are you sure?" to every decision you consider implementing. The more opinions you ask, the more mired in indecision you'll become. While it is advantageous to seek council, always consider the source of advice. People increasingly get under your skin as the month progresses. Relationships, savory and unsavory, deepen and grip. The 16th through the 20th features a hefty, heavy transition into Cancer terrain. Watery, sensitive and thus protective by nature, Cancer arouses your greatest inner strengths and insecurities, particularly those blind spots where you tend to cover your eyes the most. Mercury's retrograde motion cycle (23 June - 17 July) invokes second thoughts and feelings in your relationship arena; sentimental journeys scoop you up.

Aquarius
Social excesses and relationship extremities prevail. Your inner debauchee has a hankering for a bender or two or three. Provocative peoples past, present and future are bent on nabbing your attention. Meanwhile, your hands are full with both the profound and banal aspects of life. The season of Gemini triggers your generosity into motion, the question is the worth of those who are endowed with your magnanimity. Mercury's retrograde motion cycle (23 June - 17 July) re-arranges the targets of your passion. Between the 5th and 10th of June you'll probably pursue a palatable pitch. Thankfully, you could sell bikinis in Siberia during this time of the year. As warrior Mars marches into nurturing Cancer on the 16th, a whole new verve of high-maintenance people and tasks opens up. Our follow-up entry into the Crab on the 20th suggests back breaking rhythms that require a temporary stint of slaving.

Pisces
The rabid mental emphasis of Gemini can wreak havoc with your emotional/intuitive nature. The toys in your attic periodically gasp, fret and freak as you cross over a threshold between endings and beginnings. Options tend to proliferate during the season of Gemini and if you are too cautious, thinking and analyzing every choice to death, you could wind-up paralyzed rather than mobilized. Routine environs are subject to changes: you could actually switch or add locales; you could experience an onslaught of renovations; hungry mobs could suddenly appear in your environs. Miss Luna's Fullness on the 16th coincides with you shooting your self out of a cannon. Our entry into Cancer on the 20th can detonate the most unanticipated, quixotic plots into reality; duke it out with windmills and pinch your self (you're not dreaming). Mercury's retrograde motion maneuver on the 23rd elicits nostalgia and sentimentality; paramours past, present and future want to jump your touch of mink.
