Mercury Retrograde 6/16/2007

Uranus Retrograde 6/24/2007

The good news is that Venus moves into Leo on June 6th, which I believe you'll find very pleasant.  Leos usually are pretty high on self-esteem and confidence unless beaten down by unfavorable aspects and that could well be what Saturn has been up to.  Venus, on the other hand, will help you feel good about yourself.  This will reflect upon your appearance as well, making you not only more attractive to others but to yourself, as well.  When you look in the mirror, which for a Leo is fairly often, you'll like what you see more than you have for a while.  By the end of the month when she comes nose to nose with Saturn, you may even discover the silver lining to that black cloud that's been hanging over you head for quite a while.

The New Moon on the 14th will be in Gemini, your Natural 11th House of friends, group activities and hopes & wishes.  This could usher in a new phase of activity in one of these areas that may bring some opportunities with it, especially for those with birthdays between August 15 - 23.  This is especially likely to be noticeable because it throws some positive vibes toward Saturn and as previously noted, Saturn can use all the help he can get.  The Sun is there as well until the 22nd, bringing further emphasis to this area.  The Full Moon on the 30th will occur in Capricorn, your Natural 6th House of work, health and pets.  This could indicate the end of a project or possibly a phase of some kind in one of these areas.  It may call for some adjustments on your part, so be aware and make them work to your advantage.

Mercury is in your Natural 12th House of spirituality, inspiration and the collective consciousness for the entire month and I hate to tell you this, but the little beggar goes retrograde on the 16th and will remain such until July 10th.  At least it's not a matter of months, like some of the outer planets.  Actually, this isn't necessary a bad place to have Mercury RX.  Maybe it's time to do some introspection into your spiritual life, for which this could be very beneficial.  This is a good time to re-do, rework or reconsider issues you thought were closed and also a good time for cleaning out and organizing things of a figurative and literal nature.  The Sun moves in on the 22nd, forcing more attention to this area.

The bad news, of course, is that Mercury RX causes general disruptions in the world at large.  These include computer crashes, traffic signal outages, cell phone glitches, car problems and communication faux pas' of vast variety.  Whatever you do, don't buy anything mechanical or electronic during the time or it will have a curse on it for its entire lifetime.  This means cars, computers, a new stereo, cell phone, lawnmower or what-have-you.  Hold off until July 10th, whatever it takes, even if it means renting a car or hiring a lawn service to get there.

Mars in transiting fellow Fire Sign, Aries, in your Natural 9th House of legal matters, higher education and long distance travel until the 25th.  This should throw some positive energy in that direction which you should utilize in whatever way seems appropriate.  When he moves into Taurus he may stir up a few things relative to your career, but we'll go into that more next month.

You probably tend to be a bit too idealistic about your one on one relationships of both a personal and business nature and you may have a fairly rebellious attitude if anyone calls you on it.  Recognize that you have this tendency and make use of the 1st House Saturn to throw some reality in that direction or you may set yourself up for some major disappointment.  Uranus goes retrograde on the 24th, which could stir up some surprises or disruptions in your intimate relationships that may cause some adjustments or perhaps call for you to justify your position in some manner, so be prepared.

Leo rules the Universal 5th House of children, creativity and love affairs and the action in that venue continues with two retrograde planets, i.e. Jupiter and Pluto.  Jupiter RX usually brings ethical and moral issues to our attention and causes us to rethink our opinions whereas Pluto will unearth unresolved issues from the past and rub our noses in them so we can find closure.  This action may largely be at the subconscious level, but this is the kind of thing that definitely encourages growth.  If any past experiences fell into these areas and you've ignored them, they will no longer quietly lurk in the dark.  Rest assured, however, that the end result will be similar to cleaning out a clogged drain and will be beneficial in the long run, regardless of what ugly, nasty stuff may come to the surface initially.

This should be a month with some fun, which you'll enjoy, and you'll definitely like yourself better than you may have recently.  There will be a lot of subconscious and psychological action, however, particularly when the Sun moves into Cancer, but overall it should be a good month.
