This will be a month that has plenty of opportunity, but you will likely doubt me as the month begins. Saturn will be acting up, and will almost immediately challenge the Sun on June 2, and two days later, June 4, at the new moon in Gemini 15 degrees, Saturn will oppose the new moon. Saturn is reminding you of the seriousness of the actions you are taking now. Your decisions and commitments have weight, but also have the possibility for long-term stability and gain. Venus will be in Gemini, so you will be loved and be very popular - but that's not the point. The point is, Saturn will be directly opposite delicate Venus, translating into a work versus play, love versus obligation type of aspect - and Saturn will win out, for he is slower moving and will move very slowly. You are a lighthearted soul, and Saturn in opposition of anything is a heavy aspect. On June 3, you may feel tired, depressed, sensitive to criticism, and maybe a little overwhelmed. That's because the Sun rules your sense of vitality and strength, and much of your outlook on the world. If you feel someone is being too hard on you, you may be right. Find the truth in what this person might say to you, but don't let anyone deflate you. Everyone will be feeling this difficult aspect in various parts of life, no matter what that person's Sun sign happens to be.

Saturn opposed to the new moon June 4 could bring an unexpected expense within the following days that could have your heart feeling like it's about to drop to the floor. This is only temporary. This may be a bill you overlooked, or a family member who is in dire straits and desperately needs cash from you. Or it may have to do with an expense your partner in love or business incurred, but that now you must pay. With the moon under siege too from Saturn, you are likely to see very little cash in your bank account. Frantic, you may assume it is the end of the world. It's not. The new moon next month, July 4, will appear in your second house of earned income and come to your rescue within days after it appears.

When it comes to money, you may not have to wait until July to hear good financial news. On June 26 we have one of the best aspects of the year, Jupiter in perfect angle to Pluto. Both planets are very powerful financial planets, and you are hosting Pluto in your eighth house of other people's money, and Jupiter in Virgo, in your house of home. This tells me that you may get a fantastic deal on a new house, condo or co-op, and that the property will likely appreciate quite a bit in time. This is Gemini's year to buy property, and this month will prove it. If you can't act that fast, then realize you will have Jupiter in your home sector until September 9, so you will have until then to find your perfect situation.

I have a good friend, Rose, a Gemini, who will be closing on a condo in the first week of June. I told her that her timing is very good. I say this because 1) Thankfully, Mercury is out of retrograde (as of May 22), 2) She will benefit from the very positive angle of Jupiter and Pluto in wide, but gorgeous angle to Mercury, Gemini's ruler, and 3) Pluto will be friendly to Jupiter in Gemini's solar fourth house of home, which is a very powerful aspect that suggests her investment will appreciate quite a bit in time. Rose inquired about Mars being retrograde this month - that would not affect her in regard to her property, for Mars is about competition - if she was in charge of launching a new product or service, then Mars would have been a big consideration. Mars helps you stand out and win, but that does not apply here.

Dear Gemini, you will have until September 9 to see great luck from Jupiter in your house of home, whether by leasing, purchasing, selling, renovating, or decorating. Some Gemini are finding joy from family, such as if a family member has a baby that makes everyone in the family excited.

Mars has been putting great emphasis on your partner in love, and possibly (if you have one) in business too. That partner might be your agent or manager - someone who acts on your behalf. With Mars in Sagittarius, you have much to learn from a partner, but the going won't always be smooth. This may be because you are with your partner so frequently that it will be inevitable that some conflict comes up. This month you will get a break, for Mars will move out of your partnership house, end its opposition to your Sun, and slip into your workaday sector.

Now that Mars is (as of May 27) in Scorpio as it continues to retrograde, you will find June and July to be hard working months, with plenty to do at the office. I feel you won't get a holiday break until August or September. Mars will go direct on June 29, but it will take Mars until early August to move out of Scorpio - and for the workload to lighten up.

Your close relationship will be the focus of your attention at the full moon, June 20. This will be the second full moon in a row in Sagittarius. The first was May 21. Those Gemini who were born near May 21 were most likely to feel the effects of that full moon, and it was a positive one. If your birthday falls on June 20, you will feel this full moon more, and something is coming to culmination with a partner. This full moon is mixed, with a lovely beam from Uranus in your friendship house. You may get special attention and help from a friend.

Saturn is still being difficult and will oppose your ruler, Mercury, making June 20 not the time to sign papers - you are later likely to feel burdened by the terms of the agreement. Fortunately, Mercury moves quickly and will be in better shape by June 26, your fantastic day, when Jupiter and Pluto will be in sync. Also, on the same day, Mercury will receive beams from Uranus, planet of all things unexpected. (Mercury and Uranus will be well aligned, so the surprises should be good ones.) If you have the time, I would prefer you sign on July 1, when Venus and Jupiter will be in sync.

For love and romance, keep in mind that you have Venus on your side until June 17. While Venus will be tangling with Saturn in the first days of the month, by the time you get to my favorite time for you, the week of June 13, Venus will be out of harm's way, and no matter what your gender, you can cut your hair, or buy new eyeglasses or sunglasses (the one element on your face that would make you look older if not up-to-date). Your popularity will be strong, and you'll feel that finally, you are leaving some of life's difficulties behind.

My favorite day for you for fun and love will come on Monday, June 13, but you will feel its glow over the preceding weekend, June 11-12. The exciting aspect I am referring to is Uranus, planet of surprise, in elegant angle to the Sun. The Sun will be in Gemini, and Uranus will be in your house of fun and events / friendships / charities and humanitarian activities. These days will sparkle for you, dear Gemini, and your friends will be the ones that start to get things rolling. You may travel to a distant point, on these days or very soon afterward. Lucky breaks, unexpected good news - all sorts of good things will happen on those days that will be showered in electric pixie dust. If your birthday falls near June 16, you will get twice the fun, but all Gemini will have something to celebrate.

The new moon in Gemini is usually the time to launch a venture dearly important to you, but for now, the timing might be a bit off, and if so, sit tight. Mars is still retrograde, a holdover from April 17, and will not go direct until June 29. Because Mars is the booster rocket to all competitive situations, ideally, you need to have Mars in strong position before moving forward. This goes for career and business, but also for an important romantic relationship, too, for Mars is the driving force for getting all the right attention and affection. If you felt as though you have been walking through glue since late April, you were not dreaming. Everyone was in the same position and last month, you had Mercury retrograde too, serving up a double whammy. Making any kind of inroads in your career is possible, but it will require a yeoman's effort to get things approved and properly launched. You CAN move ahead on property matters, however, now that Mercury has turned direct. The area of home and family is golden now that Jupiter is taking good care of you in this area of life.

The new moon is doing battle with Saturn, suggesting that you will come up against a partner or competitor who will be quite difficult, someone you may view as overly conservative and unable to take the slightest risk. Meanwhile, Neptune in your career house is suggesting this month that you may not yet be privy to all information you need, either because it is simply not known or available, or because someone would like to keep it from you. Sooner or later that information will come out - just be aware that you may not be given all of it this month. Meanwhile, Mars, will be energizing your work sector but since Mars is retrograde, you may have to go over a previous project to root out flaws or to comply with your client's decision for a change of direction.

This month a grand mutable cross pattern will appear in the sky, meaning planets that are mutable signs like yours (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces) are squaring off into a box pattern, each 90 degrees from the other. Imagine a fly in a hot pot with a lid. The fly flies around frantically, trying to find an escape, but the fly cannot find an exit, increasing his frustration. Hence, a cross pattern feels like that and almost always creates some tension, but a mutable cross presents a dilemma that is the easiest to solve. Mutable signs like to communicate, and they happens to be masters at the art, so dear Gemini, be prepared to persuasively talk your way out of any thorny matter that you might find yourself lost within this month. This is good news to you - if there is anything you do well, it's debate, and you can easily run rings round the competition when you do.

The full moon, June 20, will again fall your opposite sign of Sagittarius as it did at the third week of May, but this time the full moon will appear at the last degree of the sign, 29 degrees, a degree of completion. (Last month the full moon fell at the beginning of Sagittarius, at 1 degree, accenting Gemini born near May 21.) The job of both full moons was to put a spotlight on your house of committed partnerships, whether your partner is one in business or love. At the time of this month's full moon, June 20, Saturn will oppose your ruler, Mercury, so you will have to be practical when dealing with the emotional matter involving your partner. Your decision will have weight and long-range implications, but either way, that news will help you take care of yourself, and to make decisions about the future. If you have been unhappy, you will finally break up, but if you are happy, you both may decide to wed. If you are in an established relationship, you can choose an important goal to work toward together. This full moon will be that black and white - it's time to decide, as the universe does not generally tolerate static situations.

If your birthday falls on or near June 20, you will feel this full moon in a very direct way. A relationship may reach a culmination - how things will go depends on how your alliance has been going until now. Also, if this full moon names your birthday, much of what you worked toward in recent years will reach fruition during in your coming birthday year. (Conversely, if your birthday falls on May 21, the same was true for you last month for the full moon in Sagittarius highlighted your birthday.)
