Lunations and Long-Term Aspects

The New Moon/Solar Eclipse on June first is in Gemini, your 12th House of inspiration, enlightenment, transcendence, institutions, dreams, hidden enemies, self-undoing as well as angels and demons in general.  Typically an eclipse will bring events and situations your way which relate to the house in which it occurs, so look for something of what may be an esoteric nature to come your way, though it may be more difficult to spot than if it were in a house with clearer elements.  You may be able to find a clue there on the homefront, particularly given the fact that Saturn is retrograde in fellow Cardinal Sign, Libra, your 4th House of home environment which also comprises your cultural roots, memories and endings.  This month Saturn goes direct, meaning that whatever he's been ruminating on for the past six months will soon become apparent such that you can begin rebuilding it.  If your birthday is within a day or so of July 4 this will all have a stronger impact and be more apparent.

Mercury, Venus and Mars are in Taurus, your 11th House of friends, groups, networking, organizations and goals which should be quite useful.  Venus, the natural ruler of relationships as well as money fits well in this area, particularly since she rules Taurus and is quite effective there, and Mars can give you the motivation you need to take action on an ideas provided by Mercury.  Jupiter is still in Aries, your 10th House of career, reputation, public image and status where he is providing the energy to expand something in this part of your life, which can tie in nicely with those goals and networking.  Jupiter's alliance by sextile with Neptune in fellow Water Sign, Pisces, is another useful aspect which can provide opportunities and inspiration.  Neptune will be transiting your 9th House for quite a while, other than a relatively brief return to Aquarius due to retrograde motion.  Your 9th House comprises higher learning, legal matters, beliefs and expectations, religion, politics, other cultures, foreign travel and relocating somewhere fairly far from where you are now.  Neptune provides inspiration, enlightenment and dreams, but can also be delusional or deceptive, so sanity checks are advisable.  However, being as he's a fellow Water Sign, the influences should lean more to the positive.

You've probably encountered various relationship issues for a while now thank to Pluto in your polar sign of Capricorn.  This will be a time when relationships are being dredged for unresolved issues or perhaps simply eliminated from your life.  If there are any people in your life who have control issues, this will be another thing you'll have to deal with, though in some cases it may be you who wants to be in control, particularly with close family members.  For this eclipse Pluto is forming a T-square with Saturn and Uranus, which will bring something your way to contend with which relates to Saturn's work in your home environment and Pluto's with your relationships.   Watch for something unexpected related to your career, status or reputation to provide the trigger that kick starts this challenge and brings it to your attention in what may be a less than subtle manner.

The Lunar Eclipse/Full Moon on June 15 will be most noticeable on the emotional or mental level, particularly for you Crabs who are ruled by the Moon.  This eclipse occurs in Sagittarius, your 6th house of work, health, service and pets and will thus influence your feelings toward some part of your life related to one of those areas.  Be sure to take some time to ponder and meditate on this part of your life, especially if there is anything about it which is unsatisfactory.  Inspired ideas or insights are facilitated by Mercury's presence in Gemini which can help you know what to do.  If there is anyone in your life who is trying to undermine you, this will probably be revealed and require an adjustment or change of course as far as your dealings with this person are concerned. 

New goals or expanding upon old ones is favored now that Jupiter is in that neighborhood while Mars backs that up with some motivation.  This may take a slightly different direction that you originally expected, but be willing to make any needed compromises.  A few surprises or disruptions are possible with regard to people you're close to.  With Uranus in Aries, your 10th House of career, reputation, status and so forth, you can expect a variety of unexpected happenings for quite a while to come.  This may also increase you need for freedom and independence in this part of your life or even incline you toward a career in a high tech field.  This can be a milestone month and direct your path in new ways so pay close attention to anything that relates to things you want to accomplish because they're likely to be sign posts you should heed.
