You are at birthday month, and the Sun is back in your sign to wish you the best year ever. You have more control than usual now, for your ruling planet, little Mercury, is now strong, orbiting well (no longer retrograde), and is spinning back into your sign, Gemini, and accompanying the Sun.

The new moon did her part last month by appearing in Gemini at 5 degrees on May 25. The good fortune planet Jupiter was divinely angled to that new moon in your sign, and that new moon is still affecting you positively in June. You only get one new moon in your sign a year, so this is your chance to move forward on things dearly important to you. Act quickly in early June by taking a step toward a dream important to you. At times, you may feel challenged this month, but keep in mind that you have a big advantage when the Sun has come back to the place it was at your birth. You may not be aware of your power, but you do have it, and I want you to put this fact in your pocket if and when you need it.

If your birthday falls on May 25, plus or minus four days, that new moon will give you a double dip of opportunity. The same is true if you have Gemini rising, your natal moon in Gemini, or a natal planet in Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, Aries, or Leo, plus or minus five degrees from 5 degrees.

That new moon last month on May 25 was being supported by Jupiter, giver of gifts and luck, and that golden aspect stays in the DNA of that new moon in the days and weeks that follow. (That is why new moons are so critically important.) Late last month, even if you did not realize how important a period you were in, you were sowing for your future. Your meetings were potent, for you ALSO had Mars in Gemini, an advantage of considerable proportions. Those seeds will soon come up in your garden.

As you begin June, Mars will only be in Gemini until June 4, so if you have any VIPs you still need to see, hop on the phone immediately. There’s another reason I want you to stay alert and motivated the moment June takes off, and here is the reason:

The finest day of the month, and possibly of the entire season, will happen on June 3, when Jupiter will signal the Sun at a divine 120 degrees, a trine (from the word triangle), considered the most heavenly aspect possible, and you are in a superb position to take full advantage. The transiting Sun is in Gemini 13 degrees, and Jupiter will be at 13 degrees Libra. Wow, this is a dazzling aspect for love, romance, fun, and children. Your creativity will be unusually strong, so if you work in an artistic field, share your ideas with higher ups. The transiting moon on June 3 is about to make a perfect conjunction with Jupiter, too, and that’s the same day. That’s not all. On the same day, Venus, the love-me planet, will combine forces with Uranus, planet of surprise, both in Aries, in your house of friendship / events and parties. Venus and Uranus make for a very electric, surprising opportunity for love.

If your birthday falls on June 3, plus or minus four days, you are hitting the jackpot – this month’s June 3 will be extra special for you. If you were born on June 18, the Venus and Uranus aspect will make you charming and magnetic, and if invited to a party, you barely have to do a thing, as others will be drawn to you. If you have Gemini rising, 13 degrees or 27 degrees, plus or minus five degrees, you, too, will have a double dip of pleasure.

A relationship will be your focus at the full moon, June 9. It’s an emotional time, and as Saturn will be dominant, it could be a depressing moment. Only those Gemini in a weak business or romantic relationship will feel this full moon directly. There are several ways this full moon could exert its message, especially if you are born anywhere near June 9. One way is that a partner may say something hurtful, perhaps breaking the camel’s back when you wonder why you are staying so long in this relationship. For some Gemini, this full moon may mark the parting of the ways, and it would come with a feeling of loss, as almost all breakups do.

    Your financial picture is about to improve appreciably at the new moon, June 23, in Cancer 3 degrees. That new moon will shine in your second house of earned income, so don’t head to Las Vegas to play poker.

Or, it may mean that your partner is under great pressure and stress, enough to make you be concerned for your partner’s health. In this case, you would come forward and try to help your partner. At the same time as this full moon, you seem to be worried about money too, but the cash flow situation you are feeling will only be temporary – in a minute I will show you why.

I will admit, this full moon is a make it or break it time for relationships. If you say all is well, it means you share a great deal of admiration for your partner (if you are focused on a serious business relationship) or share a great deal of love (if you are thinking about a romantic partner or spouse in an established, serous relationship). If you do break up, Jupiter will see to it that you won’t be alone for long.

Jupiter has been touring your fifth house of true love since September 2016 and will leave in early October 2017. If you are single, this is an incredible advantage – Jupiter is now in your fifth house of true love, where the first spark of love between two single people is set off. If you feel frustrated and disappointed that Jupiter has not worked hard enough for you, it may be because Jupiter has been in weak retrograde orbit since last February. The good news is that Jupiter will turn direct on June 9.

When any big outer planet goes direct, like Jupiter, we feel the happy improvement, and for that, it will manifest in your house of true love. The planet will leave little breadcrumbs toward the place or person you will receive your luck. Watch carefully to see any subtle clues that Jupiter will give you on or very near (within two days) of June 9. If you’re not distracted, you will see an unmistakable clue to where your luck lies and where you should go next. Incidentally, if you have been trying to have a baby but were disappointed by lack of conception, you have new reason for hope, as the fifth house rules not only love but also conception and pregnancy. See a doctor AFTER June 9 – I would say not until June 19. Or see a doctor on June 2, earlier.

Underscoring the message about a relationship you will get at the full moon June 9 comes the toughest day of the year: June 14-15. All depends on how life has been going along up until now – if well, you may not feel this aspect. Admittedly it will be the Gemini born on one of these two days that will feel it most. Other Gemini who were born in May or earlier in June already met the challenge, sometime in the past two years. We all get this aspect sooner or later, so if you were born on June 14-15, you are facing it and getting it done and done now. Born after June 15? The rest of the year Saturn will teach you to be strong and wise, and by December 20, Saturn will be gone in this positon, not to come back until 2044.

If you have no partner in your life, then you must guard your health near June 14-15, as Saturn can make you feel tired, and if you have not had enough sleep, you will be uncharacteristically pessimistic. This is all unnecessary! If anyone criticizes you, don’t let that person define you. Take the nugget of truth you can use, and truly listen to it – but then discard the rest.

Now let’s go back to your concern for cash flow. That’s about to get much better at the new moon, June 23, in Cancer 3 degrees. That new moon will shine in your second house of earned income, so this is your moment to ask for a raise. It is the very best moment of the year – do so in the days that follow this new moon; you will have ten days to ask. Having said that, I will add that any new moon is always strongest the day after it appears, and it will gradually get weaker with each passing day until it gets close to the full moon (which will happen next month, on the full moon in Capricorn on JULY 8, not to be confused with the one this month, June 9).

This new moon, June 23, is sweet because Uranus will send it a beam, bringing unexpected and positive developments about money that you can earn, not win or be given. A chance to make money is likely to come out of the blue. Stay primed for opportunity that comes out of nowhere. At the same time, the new moon will send a decisive, direct, and friendly beam to Neptune, currently transiting your house of fame and honors. This tells me your part in a movie, Internet, or TV show can be the reason for the uptick in your income – somehow your face, your personality, your energy, and intelligence, as well as your talent for communication, have something to do with the financial benefits you will see now.

Not only will the new moon signal Neptune, but Mars will also align with Neptune a few days later, on June 26. Your ruler, Mercury will also get into the act by beaming Neptune on June 27. As you see both June 26 and 27 are both special for you and seem to include seeing your image being sent out to your audience. You may get excellent publicity, but you will also make money as a result of what happens on June 26.

What a month of ups and downs, dear Gemini. Still, I feel all things happen for a reason. If a relationship is weak and gnawing at you day after day, it’s time to leave it. That takes enormous courage, but you can do it, for most of the month, you will have the mighty Sun behind you, no small advantage!

You have been in an enviable position in May, for Mars was in Gemini, allowing you to get the attention of nearly any high-level person you wanted to see. That advantage will end on June 4, when Mars moves to Cancer. If you have another person to see, make the appointment for June 2.

After Mars moves on to Cancer, you will be focused on money – earning it, spending it, saving it, and investing it. Your expenses will increase now with Mars heating up your second house of earned income, but it may be because in previous months you have been too busy to shop and now need to buy things. Or, you may be putting down a deposit on a summer cottage, sending tuition for graduate school, or writing a large check for another life goal. Mars in Cancer will stimulate your desire to make more money too, and you will find a source of income if you look! Opportunities exist in many places around you.

The new moon of June 23 in Cancer will also help you in your money-making quest. It is the very best new moon of 2017 for you, dear Gemini, to see an increase in income. If you are self-employed, you can experiment with raising your rates and go after generating new business. If you work for others, by all means, ask for a raise quickly after June 23 appears. By that new moon, your ruling planet, Mercury, will have moved into your financial house, along with active Mars, the new moon, and Sun. That’s plenty of cosmic energy to help you find ways to generate cash.

Neptune will reach out to Mars near the new moon, suggesting that the way you will make money will be linked to your skills in communication. You may be asked to be a spokesperson, guest on a show, or to host a TV show. The media you will be involved with will be visual – so that deletes radio and possibly print, unless your photograph accompanies the story and puts a strong emphasis on film or video. It is also very possible you may be given important publicity that focuses on a recent career victory. Neptune rules your image – your face is likely to be in the media at month’s end.

The full moon, earlier in the month, June 9, will bring a relationship that is important to you into the spotlight. For two years, you’ve hosted Saturn in your seventh house of committed relationships, not an easy place to have Saturn. Saturn’s usual tactic is to apply pressure to one or both persons in the relationship to see if the two people involved should remain together, and this relationship might be either romantic or business in nature.

If your birthday falls from June 14-20, you are under Saturn’s test now. Gemini born in May or prior to June 14 have already felt the pressures of this teacher planet – Saturn – and you are coming out of the woods. On the full moon, June 9 (plus or minus four days), and again on June 15, you will be subject to relationship tensions, and you might be called on to clearly see realities and truths about the character of your partner.

If both parties – you and your partner – want to be together and have positive intentions, you will come through this period stronger than before. If you are not suited for each other, a breakup may be imminent. In that case, Saturn will free you to find someone more suited to you. Keep in mind that this may not be a romantic partner, but rather a business collaborator, business partner, agent, publicist, or manager, as some examples. In a third possible manifestation of this full moon, a competitor will be willing to stoop to any tactics to get the better of your market share or to win a prestigious job you are interviewing for and want badly. In this last case, you will need to huddle with those you trust to combat this person’s behavior.

If you are not partnered up in any sense, then you must watch your health at mid-month when the full moon and Saturn’s opposition of the Sun might make you feel drained and sensitive to criticism. Keep your health resistance up by getting enough sleep because if you are tired, you will overreact to these planetary challenges at mid-month.

One point that is critically important is that you have Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, in your true love sector, in perfect angle to your Sun from his residence in Libra. Jupiter, sometimes called the planet of miracles, is standing by to bring you an introduction to a new person sometime between now and October 10, the time Jupiter will spend in this house. This has to be a comfort if you break up. Jupiter has not been in this area of your chart since 2004-2005. You have to do your part to circulate and to be open to new types, for you need to leave the house to make this aspect work for you!
