Astrology Forecast June, July, August 2009

by Gwynne Mayer

Summer of Stars

During the months of June, July and August, there will be four major planets retrograde: Jupiter in Aquarius, Neptune in Aquarius, Uranus in Pisces and Pluto in Capricorn, all of which will be the subjects of these three months forecasts.  These will affect all signs in some way as we have all signs represented in our natal chart, in representative houses that foretell about health, relationships, career, family life and hundreds of other issues represented by the twelve houses.  We will go through each of the signs, however remember to read your Moon sign first, your Ascendant second and your Sun sign last.  It is always helpful to know the placements of all of the planets in your chart, but these are the most important. You can get more information about the placements by contacting me through email, gwynnesm@swbell.net.

Aries --- Don't rush through this summer so think wisely and watch how you react, definitely not on impulse.  It is time to look at some of your motivations and why you are doing some of the things you are doing.  Make sure your monies are taken care of in the sense of investments and securities.  It is time also to take an accounting of what you really want to achieve in this life and make sure you are covering all the bases in that department.  July is an easier month for friendships and catching up with old friends, however your older friends are sometimes more worrisome than some of your newer acquaintances. You are definitely going to run into some problems around relationships at the beginning of August and not see a reprieve in that department until after August 16.  This is a summer where all sense of balance is needed and finding a way to be sensitive to others needs, not always pushing your own needs, yet you need to nurture yourself and watch your stress levels so balance is the big task for you this summer, money, relationships and investments.

Taurus --- Taurus is having to make big decisions in money, relationships and actual movement, possibly of job/career or home/office.  This will take its toll on your own stress levels as you seem to be stuck in the middle of all of this and not able to move so the time to get unstuck is NOW! You might be having difficulty with your mate because of your own need for privacy and secrecy; if not the mate, then those with whom you share close intimate connections. Make some decisions about how you are going to handle honesty and communication this summer and tell the truth, no matter what the consequences. There will be grave consequences if you keep secrets about "who and what" you are all about, if you continue on this course.  August could be a turn around month for you if you pay attention to your finances and start taking responsibility, meaning to audit your own values and the way you handle money, especially if that money is shared.  Your health will begin to fail if you do not come clean with your intentions and promises.

Gemini --- The Gemini is going to have an excellent window for communications and making money, making decisions about money and moving on ahead of situations that have been lying in wait for many months.  It is important to be aware that when closing deals and making money that we have some major eclipses during July in your solar house of money so you have to think about those things and make wise decisions. This is the time you have been waiting for.  If the decisions about money and investments are not made in the first two months of this summer then at the end of August, all will seem to no avail. Romance and creativity seem to come back into your life during the summer and a new romance or creative interest may take up your time and energy.  You have been too busy to think about romantic inclinations, but now the time has come for you to show out as the flirt you really are and spin a romantic web around the person of your choice.

Cancer --- June will be a time of rest and relaxation because your times of stress will be over in about thirty days, or so it seems.  Be sure and take care of your health at this time as well, so get a thorough check up and make sure your digestive system is moving along according to plan.  You might want to make a visit to the dentist as well. Taking care of other people has taken its toll on you and so now it is time to take care of yourself, even those of you with children, husbands and wives needing your attention.  Be very conservative with spending during June and you will have money left over in August in order to do some of the things you want to do, especially after your birthday and after the eclipses on the 7th and 21st of July.  The eclipses will play an important part of during this time for you, so make plans to get started on a new birthday year with resolve that all things, career, relationships and health will be number one in your focus. You can do it, so now is the time!

Leo --- Leo is getting a chance to become much clearer and focused on what is important in life, especially when it comes to partnerships and intimacy; both in personal relationships and business relationships.  Leos knack for charm and charisma has helped through these trying times and now the time is to capitalize on what Leos do naturally.  There is a sensitivity that Leos have that helps them make money, know people and figure out difficult situations.  They are now tested to the max at that level and will shine through especially after August 16th.  This is also time for the Leos to save their monies and watch their health, getting into a routine dietary discipline that works for them (they love gourmet foods and cooking) without suffering too greatly.  It is time to make a "little" go a "long" way so get started on your new routines.

Virgo --- Virgo is going to have a great summer, getting it together, more than ever.  It is time to discipline oneself in order to accomplish the "perfection" that every Virgo wants in life. This very pristine sign needs to learn to accommodate those around them in a way that is not controlling, critical and circumspect.  Language is important for Virgos, the proper and appropriate language, in order to get along with those in relationships and around their career life.  Many Virgos have had to take care of ailing parents or those who have had to come first before taking care of their own needs.  It is now time for you to take care of your health, rest and sleep so that your body functions in a way that supports your actions and your intellect.  If you crowd too many things into your schedule and routine, you will begin forgetting essentials and those things that make you the indispensable worker that you are. You have great talent and are valued by most people around you; you tend to judge yourself harshly. Stop it!

Libra --- Librans are always looking for balance, sometimes too idealistic as to what "relationships should really look like" however you are needing to be more realistic about your situation and the fact that you have some fears that are in this regard. You have to watch your "judgments" about others and not get too heavily invested in being "right" all the time.  Watch your spending and learn to save some of your money so that you can live the quality life you want.  It is time to live by a budget and find ways to augment your monthly income.  Most Librans have a creative streak in them that could earn some extra money.  Health issues may arise around teeth and gums so make sure the dentist is being seen on a regular basis as well as an endocrinologist to see if your endocrine system is working well.  Oftentimes Librans self medicate with sugar in order to feel comforted and that is not an option now.  Realizing what you are doing to your body with too much sugar or acidic producing foods will help in your old age.

Scorpio --- Scorpio is having difficulty with relationships in which "true communication" is lacking. The only thing that Scorpio can do about this is to confront, kindly, with the truth and let the karma fall where it may.  Scorpio thrives on commitment and loyalty but even more so on depth and understanding within a relationship.  If the latter is not present then the Scorpio will be quiet disgruntled. This will be better as the eclipses occur in July.  There will be more attunement with the core of the personality and more truth comes out in intimate relationships. There are some amorous moments in August that will help the Scorpio regain the passion he/she has for life.  That is really a big thing, to regain passion and go where Eros is alive and well.  There is also a very secretive streak in Scorpio that has been deemed confidential, however secrecy often breed mistrust and we don't want to go there do we?  Take your time focusing on "you" this summer and not so much finding fault with relationships and we will go from there.

Sagittarius --- Money is going to be more available, in a permanent sense of the word, in the next several months so you might want to take an accounting of your spendthrift ways and settle down to saving, investing and seeing that your money is wisely spent. This Jupiter ruled sign wants to be magnanimous and show their worth with a flare, however it is time to be more conservative if you can understand what that means.  It is also time to reconnect with old friends and maybe even take some trips to visit those who once were "tried and true". You also need to get out and move those legs, dance a bit and feel the energy flowing through your whole body.  It might be time to take some yoga or get massages and enjoy the sensual nature of yours that you often put on the back burner. Sagittarians are having remarkable dreams and receiving some channeled information of late so it might be time to write some of these messages in the form of a journal or something upon which you can reflect.

Capricorn --- Capricorns are going through some very intense times the next several years. They are having to change most everything about themselves, especially those things that have sabotaged their success in the past.  The sad thing for most Capricorns is their rigidity in recognizing that situations and intimate connections must "change" in order to bring a more positive perception in the near future. The home and family will be a source of focus during the eclipses that come in July, all things having to do with real estate, where the home is, what condition it is in and how the family is thriving at their residence.  There also might be some auditing of taxes and the way one spends money that will come to haunt the Capricorns, especially after July.  Taking care of dental problems and looking into health areas that have been ignored are going to be a must in the next several months so if money is an issue here, think about going to the nearest dental school and see what kind of deal you can cut. It will seem that you are burning your candle at both ends during this summer, but all will be well because you will take care of "business" won't you?

Aquarius --- Aquarians have seemingly been in a fog, or fugue the last couple of months and that condition still remains so now is not the time to make drastic decisions, especially around partnerships and commitments. Take your time and learn what you really love and connect to, about yourself.  Start nurturing yourself the way you want partners to nurture you and then you will see what I am talking about.  Take it easy as far as career goes as well, stay on track and keep the benchmark for success high. You will see this pay off around August but it is going to take quite a bit of work on your part in order for this to happen. Deals you strike in June may not manifest until after August 16th.  Pay close attention to your diet and your immediate needs so that you don't stress out your immune system too much. It is important to watch circulatory problems as well which can only be healed by activity and drinking plenty of water.  Take care of yourself because no one else will!

Pisces --- Pisces has been forced to make many changes to their consciousness and their spiritual attunement.  This has caused many Pisces to rethink what is going on with them in their lives.  It is time for this highly sensitive sign to reflect their true natures and start paying attention to what they are empathing.  It is important to understand the nature of the psychic world in which they live.  Pisces pick up all kinds of energies and right now is a good time to set those boundaries appropriately instead of running away every time they are in a crowd of people.  Quit telling people what they want to hear and learn to tell them the truth in a way that is not confrontational but truthful.  You have incredible insights and can help in ways you never dreamed possible and now you are coming into your own, so do not be afraid, just stand tall, even if you stay out of the sun…don't stay too long in the shade!
