ARIES (March 21st-April 20th)

Doing work around the house will be a good way to spend your time at the start of June. Repairing or replacing appliances, upgrading plumbing systems and checking out faulty wiring. The Full Moon on the 9th will bring a disappointing result with a legal or official matter. Resist the temptation to hide away from the world. You’ll get over things more quickly by surrounding yourself with supportive friends and relatives. Avoid getting into an argument with an expert in the middle of the month or you’ll alienate a potential ally. On the 24th, the New Moon will give you a chance to promote a brilliant idea and win support from someone who can make all the difference to your plans. As the month draws to a close, you’ll have to reach a consensus with a partner. Trying to talk logic to a business associate or a loving partner will be an exercise in futility.

Your services are required on the home front at the beginning of July. It may be necessary to take time off work to handle domestic responsibilities. Your employer won’t be happy with the situation, but you have no other option. Neighbours are ready to lend a helping hand. Don’t fail to accept their offers of help. On the 9th, the Full Moon will come to your professional rescue. You’ll be able to leave a restricting work situation for a far better one. Don’t let erratic behaviour hurt your reputation in the middle of the month. If you feel restless, find a healthy channel for your nervous energy. Brisk exercise and creative projects can relieve tension. The New Moon on the 23rd is perfect for fulfilling romantic desires. If you’re single, you will meet someone special at a sporting event or contest. Are you already in a relationship? Arrange a fun outing that’s tailored to your amour’s taste.

TAURUS (April 21st-May 21st)

You’ll be getting lots of admiring glances at the beginning of June, when your natural charisma will be powerfully accentuated. On the 9th, the Full Moon will bring about an unexpected challenge to your finances. You’ll have to dip into savings or go into debt to put things right. No matter how strongly you object, you will be expected to satisfy this obligation. If you need an additional source of income, you’ll find it during the second half of the month. The New Moon on the 24th will prompt you to take a class, learn a skill or begin a writing project. This venture will give you lots of intellectual stimulation and improve your outlook. As July approaches, you’ll be forced to stick with a dull routine, despite your desire to branch out. Instead of neglecting your responsibilities, make extra efforts to fulfil them. Proving your reliability will pave the way for opportunity. You’re being put to the test.

Handling facts and figures will be harder than you thinking. You may decide to take a course at the beginning of the month. Expanding your skill set will make you less reliant on expensive experts. Money for luxuries will be available; give yourself a treat for facing up to a challenging situation. The Full Moon on the 9th will mark the successful conclusion of a legal matter. You’ll be happy to put this situation behind you and focus on more rewarding pursuits. Taking an overseas journey could transform your dreams and aspirations. During the second half of July, you’ll enjoy spending more time in and around your home. This is a great time to invent recipes and redecorate drab rooms. On the 23rd, the New Moon will send help in the form of an attentive relative. Let this family member paper and pet you. A little tender loving care will recharge your batteries. Begin work on a creative project as August approaches.

GEMINI (May22nd-June21st)

People will be very receptive to your ideas at the beginning of the month. Take this opportunity to go for a job interview, ask for a date or submit creative work for review. The Full Moon on the 9th will put a great deal of strain on a close relationship. You may decide to part from an impractical person who often fails to keep their promises. During the second half of June, you’ll have to follow a difficult and demanding set of rules to get ahead. Going against the grain will only end up in you missing out on an opportunity. On the 24th, the New Moon will attract an exciting moneymaking opportunity. Getting paid to solve problems and increase productivity will be the answer to a prayer. The end of the month will tempt you to indulge your sensual side. Play for time and postpone making any expensive purchases. It would be better to conserve your resources to cover a surprise expense.

Throwing money at a problem won’t make it disappear. In order to overcome a persistent problem, you’ll have to use all your willpower and determination. Your efforts will pay off handsomely, giving you a confidence that will turn heads. On the 9th, the Full Moon will enrich your bank account in the form of an inheritance, refund or royalty payment. Use this money to create long term financial security. This would be a great time to put a down payment on a home or car. During the middle of the month, you’ll be tempted to splash out on a lot of lavish status symbols. Ignore this desire; you’ll quickly tire of a fancy mobile or entertainment centre.

A pushy attitude will create problems in a close relationship. You’ll catch more flies with honey than vinegar at the start of the month. A brilliant moneymaking idea is worth checking out. Turn a deaf ear to a pessimistic pal or reluctant relative who thinks this particular is doomed to disaster. The Full Moon on the 9th will bring a welcome opportunity to repair a strained romance. Put an end to an ongoing power struggle and work together instead. An opportunity to improve your living space will arrive at mid-month.

The sooner you put some distance between you and this troublemaker, the better.

You’ll feel overburdened with work as July waves goodbye to June. Don’t push yourself too hard or you will suffer burnout.
