HOROSCOPES

Gemini MAY 22-JUN 22

June’s Sun, Mercury and new moon in Gemini have Your Twinship busy changing hats at a moment’s notice as life’s scintillating kaleidoscope shifts into new alignments. Mid-month’s once-a-year new moon in your sign shines on brilliant brainstorms, creative inspirations and your own personal turn-on: stimulating conversation. Added to this is the birthday gift of Uranus in your house of healing for the next seven years, bringing stability, order and efficient organisation to daily routines. Sound boring? Not when it’s also an invigorating life detox on so many levels. Which might even find the new, streamlined you reading Gemini Walt Whitman’s epic rave, Song of Myself, for a poetic description of your makeover.

CANCER • JUN 23-JUL 23

Progressive Gemini energy in your house of transitions wants you to say sayonara to old war stories, while the late-month full moon in practical Capricorn insists on keeping it real with sensible planning. Super-seductive Venus in your sign until mid-month gives you that warm, rosy glow, then it’s Mercury’s turn – and with the quicksilver messenger service in Cancer, you become spokesperson for what you love. How? Through intuition: that instant assessment of variables and their potential, which helps you know instinctively how to act. Final icing on June’s cake is late-month Sun in your sign singing Happy Birthday,

Clan of the Crab…

LEO • JUL 24-AUG 23

June’s airy vibes lighting your creative

res bring a renaissance in your contributions to the community. It’s a moving kind of month and you’re the zodiac’s stage managers, so if something’s not working try shifting the thing that most wants to be moved. Mid-month Venus in Leo unrolls the red carpet to romance with her trademark

air, and a Sun/Mercury partnership in the sign of home entertaining sees your majesties hosting new friends and playmates. During the last week of June, when Mars could cause arguments, any polarised stand-off between two will bene t from a third-party presence.

VIRGO • AUG 24-SEP 23

Virgos prefer the bad news rst so they can make a plan and develop a strategy. Okay, but it doesn’t come until right at the end of this Mercury-driven month when assertive Mars sulks in your sector of perfectionism and you demons-ofthe-detail only notice what’s not working. That’s when you’ll need to hit the pause button, zip the lip and press reset, because who wants to be a nitpicking nagger? More welcome news is that up until then, you and June are a perfect love match with spreadsheets, mind maps and feasibility studies galore, plus recognition and respect for your elegant ef ciency, witty input and dedicated efforts.

LIBRA • SEP 24-OCT 23

Security or adventure, safety or stimulation, loyalty or new experiences – this multiple-choice month could give you analysis paralysis from overthinking. So ask: Am I keeping up appearances rather than being authentic? What do I want my life to look like? And feel? Do they match? June’s the month of articulation and you’re the zodiac’s partner sign, so have that clarifying conversation with signi cant others and closest colleagues. As Venus morphs from mild to wild, logging on to glam shopping sites and partying at the theatre of life, there’ll be a surfeit of surface sizzle, but look for substance under the sparks.

SCORPIO • OCT 24-NOV 22

The month of the convivial Twins brings plenty of fresh impetus to ip unsatisfying scripts from the past into something more contemporary and user-friendly. The mid-month new moon gives your house of intimacy a lunar lift, with Leo Venus working her ashy mojo magic. As June ends, an edgy quintet of retrogrades tightens tempers, torches patience and ignites discord as Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars – planets of transition, spirit, responsibility, opportunity and drive – strive to align your soul path with current reality. Challenging you to embrace, as Scorpio Chrissy Amphlett sang, the ne line between pleasure and pain…

SAGITTARIUS • NOV 23-DEC 21

For savvy Sagittarians, June has more questions than answers, though with three planets in the sign of the talkative Twins you won’t be faint-hearted at this month’s conversational feast. As Mercury hands you the microphone it’s worth taking a moment to decide what it is that you really want to be a voice for. If anyone is going to address the elephant in the room it’s you, so practice the ne art of editing before you utter, because the trick to delivering honesty bombs is making sure your audience won’t shoot the messenger. Meanwhile, your Venus side is particularly dashing and adventuresome, and late June brings closure to a career issue. CAPRICORN • DEC 22-JAN 20

Less work and more play makes a happy Capricorn this month, which offers a cornucopia of social and business bene ts from getting out and about, mixing and mingling, doing that cruising and schmoozing you do so well. June’s premier lesson? Flexibility. Loosening the control reins makes it way easier for this month’s mercurial wisdom to download, so rather than rules, try guidelines. Pitching a project? Ditch complicated and keep it simple. Celebrate end-ofmonth’s Capricorn full moon by replenishing the energy tanks, either through quiet time alone, or catching up with besties.

AQUARIUS • JAN 21-FEB 19

With June’s astral emphasis in your zone of vocation (from the word voice), that deep inner-soul whisper could deliver a hit of truth serum and a course correction. Mid-month’s new moon icks the switch on romantic action, with Venus frisky, irty and frolicsome. While you’ll be ubereloquent and expressive, mark a red- ag alert for the month’s last days when action planet Mars backslides in your sign and provocative conversations, or playing devil’s advocate, are likely to back re. Being contrarian, this won’t be easy, but step away and let events unfold at their own organic pace.

PISCES • FEB 20-MAR 20

We humans are beings who depend on terra rma beneath our feet; along with air, sun and water it’s our birthright. Bare soles on the earth’s surface absorb electrons that support healthy functioning, so check out the science of grounding this month because it could help sort fact from fantasy, imagination from reality, wishful thinking from what’s actually happening. Forget multitasking: your head, heart and other body parts are already doing that when mid-month Neptune retrograde in Pisces sends you rolling in the deep. Venus in your house of self-care will attract mentors, anchors and tour guides, so just relax and enjoy the ride.

ARIES • MAR 21-APR 21

A fun month of variegated pleasures and interesting possibilities, backed by Saturn in your career house, slowly but surely honing management and business skills. You original individuals don’t follow trends, you set them, and with this month’s astral energy in the sign of twosomes, partnering up could take some of the weight off doing everything yourself, with a bonus of commercial bene t. Do necessary due diligence though, and choose collaborations based on shared values and mutual respect. It’s not easy making future plans when the goal posts keep shifting, but are or zzle, June de nitely won’t be dull.

TAURUS • APR 22-MAY 21

Your primary planet, Venus, wears two faces during the month of doubleheaded Gemini. Her rst two weeks in family-oriented Cancer favour homebased activities, then for the nal fortnight in showy Leo she bursts into bloom, so schedule personal pursuits until mid-month, and after that focus on social and professional interactions. Yes, others might chatter endlessly, change minds and behave unreliably, especially when end of month Mars joins the gang of retrograde planets and you-know-who-or-what presses your buttons – which is the cue to lock into cruise control with every particle of your earth-sign humour and patience.
