The planetary momentum is still mostly forward this month: until the 6th 90 per cent of the planets are going forward, after that 80 per cent. So this is still a good month for launching new products or starting new projects (and many of you are involved with new projects these days). The planetary power is also still in the East, so keep in mind our discussion of this last month.

The main headline this month is the power in your spiritual 12th house – it is easily the strongest house in the chart right now. Venus entered here last month, Neptune moves in on the 3rd, Mercury on the 14th and the Sun on the 19th. The new Moon of the 21st will also occur here. No question this is a spiritual month. It is normal to feel more reclusive under these transits, to crave solitude to get right with yourself and with the Divine. And, since you are approaching your personal new year (your solar return – your birthday) it is good now (and until your birthday) to review the past year, assess your progress or non-progress, atone for past mistakes, and set your course for the year ahead. These things can only be done in solitude and quiet.

For those of you on the spiritual path, this is a month for spiritual breakthroughs. When these things happen it is most rapturous. It changes the whole outlook on life.

Love has been stressful for some years. Marriages and serious relationships are getting tested. But this month we see some improvement. Venus crosses your Ascendant and enters your 1st house on the 8th. Your spouse, partner or current love seems more devoted to you, more on your side, and you are in a more romantic mood. Singles are not likely to marry this month, but there is love in your life – in fact it pursues you. Still, it is highly unstable and volatile (Venus is conjunct to Uranus from the 8th to the 10th). This means that sudden love can come to you but can also leave you just as quickly. Still it is exciting.

This is a nice aspect for finance too. Financial opportunity, and probably some windfalls, is coming to you. An opportunity for a great business partnership or joint venture occurs. But don’t jump into things too quickly. The staying power of this venture is in question. It seems that you are spending more on technology too from the 8th onwards, and it seems like a good investment.

Though health has been stressed for more than a year, this is one of your better health periods in the year. You can enhance your health even further by giving more attention to your ankles and calves (both should be regularly massaged) until the 14th and to the feet after the 14th. Your health planet moves into your spiritual 12th house on that date, so this is a month for going deeper into the spiritual dimensions of healing. Many of you will be involved in spiritual healing for others and this is a good ‘entry point’ to this vast subject.

The planets are now in their maximum Eastern position of the year. Personal independence is now at its strongest. This is a time for having your way in life and for creating your own happiness according to your personal specifications. You have the power and the support.

This month the planets make an important shift. For the first two months of the year, the upper hemisphere of your chart was the strongest. So ambitions and career were dominant interests. By the 20th, as the Sun crosses your Ascendant, the lower half of the Horoscope becomes dominant. You are in the dusk period of the year; night is falling. Outer career activities are less important for the next six or so months; instead family and emotional issues are more important. Sure you will deal with your career, but perhaps in a different, more ‘internal’ way. In winter, when everything is bleak and desolate and seemingly dead, nature is ‘dreaming and visualizing’ her future blossoms and fruits; nature is still alive, but in a more interior way. And when Spring comes, her dreams start to become real. So it is with you. Your outer ambitions are far from dead, but they need to be worked on in a different way. This is a trend for the next six months. Now your emotional harmony is very important. Without emotional harmony you won’t be effective in your ‘dreaming and visualizing’.

Your 12th house of spirituality is still strong until the 20th, so keep in mind our discussion of this last month. On the 20th the Sun enters your own sign and your 1st house. This is a very happy transit. You enter a yearly personal pleasure peak. You are in a period where the pleasures of the body are easily fulfilled. There is personal optimism and happiness. Health and energy (a problem for more than a year) is much improved now. Whatever your age, you are more the child this month – happy-go-lucky. You look younger too. Aries of appropriate age are more fertile this month. There is luck in speculations now too.

On the 5th, Venus enters your money house where she joins with Jupiter. The two benefactors of the zodiac are now occupying your money house, signalling a month of prosperity. Opportunities for business partnerships and joint ventures are also happening and these seem more stable and serious than last month.

Venus travels with Jupiter from the 11th to the 14th, a great period for both love and money. Singles are perhaps a bit too practical about love – perhaps a bit too materialistic – but they seem to get what they want. They find love opportunities as they pursue their normal financial goals and with people involved in the finances.

Your health planet was retrograde most of last month, and is retrograde until the 4th of this month. Health news that you’ve been receiving – test results and the like – is probably not what you think and perhaps is even amiss. This is a time for doing your homework – reviewing your health regime – rather than for making major changes; not until after the 4th is it safer to make changes. Until the 17th Mercury is still in your spiritual 12th house, so spiritual healing is still very powerful for you, and you respond well to it. Also give more attention to the feet. On the 17th Mercury moves into your own sign, therefore give more attention to the head, face and skull (areas that always need more attention anyway) and to the adrenals. Physical exercise is always good for you but now even more so. It seems that you are making important health changes from the 17th to the 20th. Be a more defensive driver that period as well.

There are job changes happening during that period too. In some cases it is within the same company, in other cases, it is with another company. If you employ others there is instability in the workforce over that period, perhaps employee turnover and dramas in the lives of employees. If you are looking for a job, job opportunities are seeking you out after the 17th. If you employ others, new employees are coming to you.

Last month was a prosperous month and the trend continues even more strongly. The Sun enters your money house on the 20th and you enter a yearly financial peak. This is one of your best financial months in a great financial year. Enjoy. What I like with this transit is that it shows ‘happy money’ – money that is earned in pleasurable and enjoyable ways, not through drudgery. Also, it shows that you are enjoying your wealth, spending it on leisure and fun kinds of things. There is luck in speculations from the 20th onwards too. Children in your life are also prospering and seem supportive financially. This works in many kinds of ways. Sometimes the support is in the form of actual money or financial opportunity (if they are of appropriate age), sometimes they have good financial ideas, or they inspire you to earn more. Your personal creativity also seems more marketable now.

Your love planet enters your 3rd house on the 3rd and spends the rest of the month there. Thus love opportunities occur in the neighbourhood and perhaps with neighbours. Love happens in educational-type settings – in school or lectures or seminars. Good communication turns you on. Mental sex is as important as physical sex.

Many of the trends of previous months are still in effect. Most of the planets are still in the East (though this is about to change), and most of them are still below the horizon of your Horoscope. Continue to create conditions as you see fit and pursue emotional harmony. With your career planet retrograde for the past few months you can safely downplay the career and focus on the home and family. Many career issues need time to resolve; there is no quick fix right now.

Retrograde activity increases compared with previous months; after the 15th 30 per cent of the planets are in retrograde motion. The pace of life slows down a bit. The most important retrogrades affecting you now are those of Saturn (your career planet) and Venus (your love and financial planet). Three important areas of life are being affected, and so your financial and social judgements are not up to their usual standard; important decisions ought not to be taken. Big purchases, big investments, big changes need serious thought. (Venus is retrograde from the 15th of this month until June 26.)

Love is more complicated now, maybe going backwards instead of forwards. Perhaps your spouse, partner or current love is ‘back tracking’, or perhaps you are. This is all part of the cosmic agenda to get you to review your love life, your romantic relationship, and see where improvements can be made. Sometimes the way forward is backwards: sometimes the review will lead to greater forward progress in the future. Avoid important love decisions now. Singles should let love develop as it will without trying to force things (this is hard for an Aries).

Your love planet goes retrograde in the sign of Gemini and in your 3rd house. The message here is that you need to be more careful when communicating to your spouse or current love. Don’t take things for granted. Make sure you get their message and that they get yours. Many of the problems now come from miscommunication and misunderstanding. A little more care in the beginning can save a lot of heartache later on.

You are still in a very prosperous period – a yearly financial peak. This continues until the 20th. The retrograde of your financial planet will not stop your prosperity, but will perhaps slow it down a little, giving you a bit more breathing room. It is a pause that refreshes, as the saying goes.

There is a solar eclipse this month on the 20th – right on the cusp of your 2nd and 3rd houses. Thus the affairs of both these houses are affected. You will have to make important financial changes in coming months (but take your time and study things carefully). Avoid speculations during the eclipse period. Your spiritual life seems very affected as this eclipse impacts on Neptune. Probably you are changing teachers, practices and the overall regime. Children should avoid risk-taking kinds of activity during the eclipse period. Cars and communication equipment get tested now and it is likely that some of these things will have to be replaced. There are dramas in the lives of siblings, sibling figures and neighbours.
