I am just coming off attending the United Astrology Conference in Chicago where I met so many astrologers from all over the world – Turkey, Brazil, China, Japan, Canada, England, Australia, Mexico, Spain, Switzerland, and of course the United States.

You have just come through a favorable full moon last month, May 29, where your profile was high, so the publicity or job opportunities that came up may have been quite exciting. If nothing happened, you may still see developments within the first three days of June. When it comes to professional interests, all the smart money is betting on you. Once Jupiter enters Sagittarius in November for thirteen months, your reputation will skyrocket and create all the right, pretty fireworks.

When you look at the overall picture of 2018, foreign people and places were and still are deliciously lucky for you. You have Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, in your ninth house, mainly an intellectual house of taking in advanced education on an undergraduate or graduate school level, or dispersing information though publishing, broadcasting, and Internet videos or articles. This house also rules immigration, green cards, visa, and matters of citizenship. It rules court cases, law, medicine, and philosophy.

If you do any kind of international import-export of goods, services, or ideas, or work with a person located in your country but that comes from a distant land, this person will be fortune for you. Finally, with Jupiter in this area of your chart, you are likely to travel far and wide at least once, to a place you never thought you’d ever see but always wished you could! All these areas sparkle brightly for you.

To show you how lucky you are when it comes to one of these matters listed above, on Friday, June 1, Venus in Cancer and Jupiter in Scorpio will be in conversation on your behalf. If you are traveling on this day, you will love the location you visit. In business, you may also hear very good news about deals you negotiate and money due you on this magical-for-Pisces day. If you are not involved in any of these activities, you can still use June 1 to your advantage. It will be a wonderful day to give or go to a party or have a romantic dinner. Or, book an appointment at the spa for a treatment that you will find luxurious and memorable.

The next day, Saturday, June 2, Venus will align with your ruler, Neptune, in one of the most glamorous, sparkling aspects possible. Venus will be in Cancer, and Neptune will be in Pisces, making this a rare and wonderful time to fall in love, celebrate love you have already found, or step out in the hopes of finding the love of your life. Days like this come by very rarely, so at the very least do something to treat yourself to a special experience – earlier in the day, schedule a haircut in a posh salon, or go shopping for the outfit that seems quintessentially you and makes you feel like a million dollars (even though you might have snapped up those designer threads on a fabulously attractive sale price).

Overall, you will find that you spend a lot of time thinking about your private life in June. I spoke of the May 29 full moon of last month that raised your profile and may have brought admiration and applause for the good work you have done. Now, the new moon of June 13 in Gemini 23 degrees will allow you to turn your attention to home and family, for there are due to be some interesting developments there. News might center on your relationship with your family or bring exciting family news, or the new moon may bring you opportunity to focus on your living space.

Mars will be friendly to this full moon – its orb is a little far away, but still close enough to motivate you to work on your home environment to make it more inviting. You might schedule repairs, do a thorough cleaning, or even a move to a new residence. You may find you have more time to see your family and may even devise a family reunion, which is almost always fun.

    The most dazzling news is that Neptune, Jupiter, and Venus will create a brilliant triangle in the sky in the first half of June, a time when you may see a near miracle. Wishes can come true if you work on them.

There is one problem with this new moon in that Neptune will be in hard aspect to the new moon. This is a warning to watch for water damage. You could have a leak, or problems with plumbing, or you may have problems with drinking water or other water-related situations. These all sound terrible, so don’t become alarmed – I hope you have none of the above. I will admit, sometimes you simply can’t prepare for what Neptune brings.

Recently I had my superintendent and a maintenance man of my building knock urgently on my door at 11 PM. They asked if I took a shower tonight? What a weird question, I thought to myself. No, I answered, I took one this morning. He asked to see my two bathrooms. They both looked with flashlights until I urged them to turn on the lights – I laughed and said you have watched too many CSI television shows, and I assured them that there are no dead bodies in my bathtub.

My super said to the other man, there is no water here! She had no leak! They explained that the people directly below my apartment were getting water overflow from me. He went into the other bathroom and asked the other man to remove my mirrored cabinet and take his fist and punch a hole in the wall. Bingo – there was a hole in the main (very thick) pipe. The hole was big, the size of a nickel. I have no idea how that hole got there, but they quickly replaced the pipe and patched my wall, and my neighbors below had no more problems. Sometimes you just can’t control everything in life. I urge you Pisces to have a rider on your homeowner or renter’s insurance policy to cover water damage, and do it the moment the month begins.

Sometimes Neptune in the fourth house of home and family brings information on a family mystery. Or you may misunderstand what a family member says to you and cause a comedy of errors. In this case, aim for clarity in all your communication with family members.

Mercury is the ruler of Gemini, the sign where the new moon is falling, so let’s look at the condition of Mercury to see the outcome of this new moon’s vibrations of June 13. Oh lucky day, Mercury will be aligned exactly with Uranus and bring all kinds of surprises and breakthroughs. Even if you should have to fix a problem at this new moon (not necessarily the case, but probable), the position of Mercury at this new moon tells me the final resolve of this matter will be supremely positive. You seem to have brilliant ideas, for Uranus, planet of genius, being kind to Mercury by showering Mercury with electric, golden light, bodes well for a surprisingly good outcome. It looks like if you have a problem, you will find a solution so ingenuous that you will wind up in a better place than you were before.

If you have to sign a lease, close on a house or sign any other important papers, do not sign on Friday, June 15, when Mercury and Saturn will be at loggerheads. You may sign off on a contract with small clauses you might not notice that will not be in your favor.

Instead, sign all papers on Tuesday, June 19, one of the finest days of the month. On this day, Mercury will align with Jupiter. This is important because Mercury, the planet that rules your solar fourth house of home and family AND your future partners from your solar seventh house partnerships (Mercury rules both houses), will align with lucky Jupiter. What a perfect day for you to schedule the final signing of vital paperwork.

This same day, June 19, would be ideal to sign a business partner or hire a new lawyer, publicist, agent, representative, stylist, manager, or other person who works with you in a directly one-on-one-way. Anything having to do with decisions regarding real estate or the care of a family member will likely work out to be brilliant on this day.

You have another wonderful day coming up, Friday, June 22. Uranus, the planet of surprise, will send an electric, friendly beam to the Sun. You may take a spontaneous trip or go to a party. If single you may meet someone new who has perfect chemistry with you, so this person would be someone you will want to get to know better. If you work in a creative field, your mind will be filled with 100,000 watts of light, so carve out time to work on your project on this day, because you may outdo yourself!

In a month when all the focus will be on your private life, it seems fitting that Mars will spend all his time in your behind-the-scenes sector, your solar twelfth house. Mars usually spends seven weeks in a sign, but this time Mars is hunkering down to spend six months in Aquarius in your twelfth house, a trend that started last month, May 16 until November 16.

This is the solar twelfth house that Pisces naturally rules, so you are comfortable with the activities of this area of the chart. You seem to be working on a big project that will require a lot of thinking and strategizing over weeks or months. The twelfth house is the house of solitude, so working alone will get you far, dear Pisces. You love to be with people, but you also need equal time alone to muse about your next project. Mars is the natural ruler of your second house of earned income, so checks may be slow to come, perhaps because people in accounting departments are on vacation or in training.

This is also the house of intuition and dreams, and you will be particularly prescient now, so it will be vital that you listen to the small voice within, for it is there to protect you and also to help you succeed.

You may wonder why Mars is spending so many months in Aquarius. The reason is, Mars will retrograde starting this month, June 26 until August 27. Mars is the action planet, and the fuel to get you able to lift your endeavor (whatever it may be) into the stratosphere. Said another way, Mars is the gas you put in your car’s engine to make it go, but when Mars is sleeping (as it will be when Mars retrogrades), your car won’t go anywhere. Everyone will feel this, so we all have to realize that the next two months, July and August, will not produce a lot of progress. Knowing this helps you keep your frustration level down. You must wrap up important matters prior to the date Mars retrogrades, June 26. Leave a space of days prior to June 26 if possible.

To make matters a little worse, Mars’ brother, Mercury, will go retrograde next month too, for three weeks, from July 26 through August 19. We tend to feel sharply the retrogrades of the planets that orbit close to earth, namely, Mercury, Mars, and Venus.

As an aside, I suppose it is time for me to drop the other shoe – Venus will retrograde October 5 to November 15, and it will not be a time to do anything new to your appearance. Venus rules looks, so I will say no to Botox or a surgical face lift, no new teeth veneers, no radical changes in your hair color or cut, no experimental skin care treatments or body care treatments. You can do those now in June, but not in October and November!

What can we do with all these retrograde planets? First, in June, sew up all your most vital deals quickly. Get things moving, and make decisions. When any planet retrogrades, you want to go back to analyze how things are working out on previously done decisions and projects, and also think about your relationships to see if they could use more attention, too. Retrogrades ask us to look back and polish things up – readdress, reexamine, reanalyze, revisit, repair, and redo. You will have the time to do so, and you will have a better outcome in any area. Do not start anything new, but focus on what you have already done.

In a month that puts the spotlight on your private life, the full moon of Wednesday, June 27, in Capricorn 6 degrees, will ask you to think about one important friend, or your participation in a club, association, society, or other group. This full moon arrives with high contrast mixed aspects. On one hand, we have Saturn conjunct the moon, a very somber configuration, denoting a serious situation. You may be upset with a friend or a lover because one or the other has done something you feel betrayed your trust or was hurtful to you, or conversely, you may be worried about the welfare or health of a friend, lover, or child.

If you belong to a club, charity or group, you may now take on great responsibility to lead the club or an important event (such as a fundraiser or convention) that will take many volunteers that you will need to manage. This would be a good way to use this full moon, for you would achieve impressive personal growth.

At the same time, the Sun will receive an opposition from Saturn, indicating you may feel drained and exhausted at this time, for the Sun rules your sixth house of health. If you feel depressed, see a friend who always cheers you, or if it is more serious, your therapist or trusted coach. Saturn opposed to the Sun is no fun, and with Mars in Aquarius, in the coming months, you may have more than the usual amount of time dealing with medical personnel, for yourself or on behalf of a family member or friend.

Uranus is in a perfect position in your solar third house of communication and travel to help you. Your ability to express yourself will be exceptional, and your words can hit all the right notes to improve the situation, and to think of original ideas if you need them.

Also, Jupiter, the ancient ruler of Pisces and planet of good fortune, will be on hand to offer help from his perch in your ninth house of foreign people and places, and all the areas I spoke of earlier (the media, law, medicine, education, immigration, international relations, and travel) are all due to be VERY lucky for you. Note that at the June 27 full moon, Jupiter will be moving to an exact 120 degree trine to the Sun, which is the most glorious aspect you could ever wish to have. This makes the last week of June and the first five days of July a very positive, supportive, happy time for you, for Jupiter in Scorpio will be working hard on your behalf.

If your birthday falls on February 25, plus or minus five days, you will feel the effects of this full moon the most. The same is true if you have Pisces rising 6 degrees or the natal moon in Pisces at 6 degrees, in both cases plus or minus five degrees. If you know your natal chart, look to see if you have a planet in Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer, Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn at 6 degrees, plus or minus five degrees. That planet will be very lit up, so you may want to write down in your calendar what happens at this time.

Finally before I go, I want to point out that Venus will be in Cancer during the first half of the month, a holdover from May, and will remain in this divine-for-Pisces sign until June 13. That is the time to circulate the most, for Venus will bring out your charms to make them visible and unforgettable to others.

At the same time, Neptune and Jupiter are in magnificent attitude to each other. Jupiter is the ancient ruler of Pisces, and Neptune is the current ruler – astrologers look at both. In those rare years when both Neptune and Jupiter are in sync, you do very well indeed. Neptune will be in Pisces until 2026 and then never again in your lifetime. Jupiter is currently in Scorpio until November 7 of this year, a trend that happens every 12 years. Because Neptune takes 168 years to circle the Sun, you can see how hard it is to get these two planets in harmonious mathematical trine, from the word triangle, the best aspect you can get in astrology).

As hard as this cooperation between Jupiter and Neptune is to get, you have it now, and guess what! Venus in Cancer will move into the perfect position to create a golden triangle in the sky in the first days of June! I particularly love June 1, 2, and all the days that lead up June 20. Because Venus will speed on to Leo on June 13, Mercury will rush in to take Venus’ place in Cancer to continue the golden triangle for you. I never see things quite like this! Wow, this is breathtakingly beautiful – perfect for helping you find love, and may even help you to enjoy a breakthrough on just about any level. Aspects this magnificent are more rare than diamonds, dear Pisces.

As you begin June, you may be still celebrating an important career victory that took place at the full moon, May 29. This represented a zenith point professionally, and as you enter June, your profile is running very high and your name may be on the lips of many in your industry. This victory will now put you on an entirely new level, and you are likely being accorded the respect you deserve.

You will have time to have fun in the first week, for Venus, Neptune, and Jupiter will be in ideal harmony, creating what is called a grand trine, adding an outstandingly festive vibration. If you are traveling, you’ll love all that transpires, but this vibration is much more than that. You may see a major breakthrough on a desire dear to your heart now, for this Grand Trine – a golden triangle – is as rare as it is powerful and beneficial. Get out your wish list, for being showered with this kind of gold dust doesn’t happen every day.

You will be focused on your home life after the new moon appears in Gemini, June 13, for you’ll get opportunities to improve your home and also to give your family more loving attention. Your circle can grow warm as you carve out time to be together.

You may alternatively use this new moon to move, order repairs and maintenance, renovate, do landscaping, bring in the painters, or initiate a design project. If your physical home is fine, you will focus your mind on your family, whether that will be your mother or father, or another member of the family, perhaps one who has just had a baby. On June 13, Saturn will oppose Mercury, the planet that rules your fourth house of home and family, so clearly you will have many demands put on you, so you will need to take time away from your career mid-month and beyond and focus.

Neptune will be in hard angle to the Sun and new moon, June 13, so you may have a flood or leak or other water-related problem. This is another reason you need to be back from travels by mid-June, to view your property and be sure all is fine. If you are dealing with family, you may not have all the facts, as Neptune sends in the fog and obscures relevant detail. Don’t jump to conclusions – there is likely a story underneath all that is visible.

The end of the month brings a tough full moon in Capricorn, June 27, which will arrive conjunct stern Saturn. You may be worried about a friend’s current difficulty and want to help. Or, it may be that a friend is turning out not to be a friend. Or, your sweetheart – the person you are dating – may disappoint you too, or, you may be worried about that person’s well-being and health. Saturn rules older people, so an older friend may have advice for you that initially you don’t necessarily want to hear, but that you will ponder anyway, and eventually, accept. If you belong to a club, you may take on a post that will require you take great responsibility on your shoulders, but that you will gain great personal growth from becoming involved. It is also within the realm of possibly that you will have a falling out with a friend when you learn how you were betrayed. Let’s think good thoughts and hope this last possibly does not happen.

Mars has moved into Aquarius last month, and will remain in your hidden twelfth house until November 15, a very long time. Normally Mars would go through one sign in seven weeks, not take six months as Mars is doing now. During this time you may be working on a research project that requires quite a bit of solitude. You will require a lot of privacy during this period, and it could be the most creative time you’ve ever experienced. The twelfth house is also the house of prescient thoughts, so you may have several premonitions that surprise you as well as those around you. You may want to keep a journal in the coming months to keep track of what your inner voice is telling you to do.

Mars will retrograde from June 25 to August 27. This means you will need to rethink your plans and strategy because it would not be the right time to forge ahead with a product or service launch, an advertising campaign, or any other competitive initiative. Try not to sign a contract or work order during this time. Financially, you may find that checks are slow to arrive, as Mars rules your second house of earned income.

If you are single, you may be tempted to get involved with a clandestine relationship in the weeks ahead, but if you do, it would unravel by the time Mars goes into Pisces in November. Protect your heart, dear Pisces. July promises more free time, and for a busy Pisces, this has to be welcome news.

The most dazzling news is that Neptune, Jupiter, and Venus will create a brilliant triangle in the sky in the first half of June, a time when you may see a near miracle. Wishes can come true if you work on them. You are essentially a creative creature, so one of your ideas may have blockbuster profit potential. Keep working on your ideas, and get your foot into the door of VIPs who will want to help you. You are close to victory! Dear Pisces, this golden triangle is a gift to you from a loving universe. You will have to take the opportunity and turn it to your golden achievement, but the point is, you can do it.
