THE SUN AND MERCURY in Gemini now infuse us with a talkative energy that helps us adjust to a changing summer schedule. We can use this easy flow to tackle real issues as the sun and Mercury form tough aspects to Pluto this week, easing us into getting down to the nitty-gritty. The trick to use this Gemini buzz well is to stay on point and sidestep power plays to focus on what matters.

If we don’t keep our minds occupied, we can spin around our worries. But instead, let’s catch up with our workloads or clean up recent misunderst­andings from the last few weeks’ Neptunian fuzziness.

Underneath this buzzing week may lurk a chunk of personal homework. Our hidden insecuriti­es can be subtly stirred as Venus in sensitive Cancer approaches a square with erratic Uranus. We might want to step back or change the subject, but this can help us become more aware of our emotional armor.

On Friday and Saturday, an independen­t Aries moon encourages us to start lots of projects, but can we finish them? Over the weekend, a competitiv­e vibe inspires sports. Tend to health, nesting, and home chores on Sunday and Monday under a comfort-loving Taurus moon. A new moon in Gemini at midweek encourages a fresh chapter in communicat­ion, but can make it harder to sleep. Mercury enters private, thoughtful Cancer late on Wednesday as Venus enters outgoing, party-centered Leo; our confidence may return but ego issues add drama to the headlines.

FRIDAY, JUNE 8: A competent buzz with a short attention span keeps us moving forward — if we can remember to stay on track. Underneath the breezy, busy top note, we may feel troubled by communicat­ion glitches as Mercury challenges Pluto. Don’t let the manic mental hamsters run the show. SATURDAY, JUNE 9: In early morning, a moody discontent can dissipate quickly if we give people time to drink their coffee. Warmth returns at midday, but our rhythms can become syncopated. We’ll appreciate more physical comfort and grow more stubborn as the moon enters Taurus tonight. The mood is curious and contrary toward midnight. SUNDAY, JUNE 10: People are friendly but potentiall­y uncooperat­ive as the moon squares Mars. Midday, enjoy one another’s company, but don’t expect agreement. If beloveds are being recalcitra­nt, they may just want their interests taken into considerat­ion. MONDAY, JUNE 11: It’s an ordinary day on one side, with the potential for difficult undertones. Some Plutonian matter like power dynamics may need attention, though most of us will just see these issues echoing in the headlines. Take care of business and tend to community. TUESDAY, JUNE 12: Connect with old friends and business contacts as the moon enters talkative Gemini. Our attention spans will be short, so we’ll be most productive with quick projects and frequent short breaks. Our conversati­ons grow more thoughtful and laced with memories this evening as Mercury enters more introspect­ive Cancer. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13: Roll with the interrupti­ons as Mercury sextiles impulsive Uranus. The new moon in Gemini can launch new conversati­ons; update websites and make new contacts. Enthusiasm improves as Venus enters Leo tonight. THURSDAY, JUNE 14: A fresh approach-avoidance conflict around relationsh­ips can leave us feeling neurotic as Venus in Leo fuels our extroversi­on, while Mercury and the moon in Cancer call us inward. It furthers to feed both sides; quiet, solitary time encourages fresh enthusiasm to engage the world.
