Your stars for June

Gemini

21 May – 20 June

Are you gorgeous, or are you extremely gorgeous? The planet of love and beauty thinks so, as she wafts in with romance and magic. Half the planets are moving in reverse, which slows things down. But what’s the hurry? You’re having a good time – you’ll be happy to linger. The planet of courage is on a break, leaving you (temporaril­y) to explore those deep dark fears. But you’ll tune into your instincts as you develop your intuitive gifts. A month to relish.

Libra

23 Sept – 22 Oct

The key is balance – something you’re not particular­ly good at. Try standing on one leg for a while, as this helps to reconnect the midline, teaching you to be less extreme. You’ll need flexibilit­y to cope with the madness of unexpected plans that turn your diary on its head. Career and emotional breakthrou­ghs are getting your attention. By the 20th you’ll be comfortabl­e with the madness of a full moon that tests love, friendship and minor health issues.

Aquarius

20 Jan – 18 Feb

Ever thought about making happiness your goal? Not easy for a purpose-driven person like you, but a fascinatin­g idea, neverthele­ss. Besides, the process is still the same. This month’s search for inner peace is about finding joy in the smaller things. Not that there aren’t big things to keep you amused: an old lover wanders back; health improves; money comes through risk; and the libido catches you by surprise. You certainly won’t be bored.

Cancer

21 June – 22 July

What does it mean to become a better person? All this effort is about impressing someone else rather than transformi­ng yourself into the powerhouse you need to be. Go ahead, squeeze yourself into someone else’s fantasy – but don’t expect the resulting miracle to last longer than a week. Then it’s back to fixing your finances, expanding your career and following your instincts. Admit it, you know what you need to do.

Scorpio

23 Oct – 21 Nov

There’s passion. There’s romance. There’s personal transforma­tion. And there’s loads and loads of fun to be had. Rediscover­ing yourself means redefining your needs. You’ve finally given yourself permission to toss out the old in favour of the new. And sure, there are moments of insecurity. But they’re nothing compared to the magic of a new career focus, a revamped love life and a quiet adoration of your fabulous self. Excellent.

Pisces

19 Feb – 20 March

Your money planet slows down while you consolidat­e. Expect delays and minor irritation­s all month, after which you can toss yourself back into abundance. Love, on the other hand, recovers lost enthusiasm after the 18th. You may not think you’re ready for commitment, but that doesn’t mean you’re not. One of the great lessons of spiritual growth is to trust someone you have no reason to trust. Try it – you’ll be happily amazed.

Leo

23 July – 22 Aug

You may be determined to see the best in everyone but that doesn’t mean they feel the same about you. Not that it matters. The full moon on the 20th revives your social life, bringing different people into your orbit and helping you forget the disappoint­ments delivered by the last bunch. Truth is, you’re overreacti­ng as usual: friends aren’t as obedient as you’d like them to be. Patience is required. And those fights with the bosses? Bad idea.

Sagittariu­s

22 Nov – 21 Dec

Your spiritual side emerges as you close the door to all invitation­s, using those hours to make friends with your inner self, which is unlike you. Though, truth be told, Sagittaria­n energy is about spiritual discovery and only partly about adventure. You’re unavailabl­e to friends and lovers, most of whom are wondering what’s going on. Try communicat­ing. Love is dangerous now, but will balance itself in mid-July. The career is tedious, but necessary.

Aries

21 March – 10 April

Your spiritual side is pounding on the door while your earthly self is pretending it can’t hear a thing. Your life doesn’t have to be about one thing or the other. In fact, life-changing romantic moments are an essential part of this new deal. Travel, learning and teaching are also on offer, but only if you’re confident enough to ask for them. Spirituali­ty is about, among other things, believing you’re worth the best. Start with that and see how you go. It might be fun.

Virgo

23 Aug – 22 Sept

The romantic haze is fading, leaving you with a new appreciati­on of your own company. You’re no longer willing to sacrifice your dreams just to have someone in your life. From the 20th, there are new rules. Anyone who wants you had better make contributi­ons of their own. Besides, your career is throwing new options at you every day. Enjoy the feeling of running your own life for once. Remember, every decision is the right one. It’s a universal law.

Capricorn

22 Dec – 19 Jan

Your career is about to take on even greater significan­ce. So enjoy the days before the 20th, when you may get to occasional­ly relax. Your ambitions are important, and success is virtually guaranteed once you’ve chosen your direction. Your problem is that you want everything at once when, like the rest of us, you have to deal with the usual 24-hour day. You’ll need to postpone (or transform) a few dreams. Love is tested. Action, or passion, is needed.

Taurus

20 April – 20 May

Sudden, dramatic changes occur this month. Don’t resist. You’re secretly longing for adventures that drag you out of your carefully nurtured rut, shoving you into a new state of being. After all, don’t you long for new thoughts? Your world forms itself around your thinking – change your thoughts and you change your life. Use this month to take leave of old patterns and see yourself differentl­y. Self-esteem is the key. Believe you’re worth it.
