This week begins with sweet romance on Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday might have power struggles. Thursday is a productive day leading to a Father's Day weekend that looks great! The real news is about Mercury. Although Mercury is retrograde from June 29 to July 23 - it starts slowing down next week! (Mercury never really slows down - this is an astrological illusion relative to planet Earth.) Goofy errors, missed appointments and people from your past will start popping up. If you're shopping for expensive Mercury-related items like ground transportation, computers and cell phones, wait until August 7. That's because every action in time has a chart. When you buy a car, the moment it becomes yours --it has a chart. And you don't want to own a car with Mercury retrograde in its chart that runs on duct tape and prayer.
It's a fast-paced week and you're busy! Enjoy increased interaction with friends, relatives and business associates - the people you deal with every day. Don't hesitate to share your ideas. You will likely be focused on your possessions more than usual. (Caution about wasteful spending.) On the upside, you want to use your possessions to get things done. Meanwhile, as Mercury starts slowing down, this will attract relatives and people from your past to your home. Stock the fridge because someone will be camping out on your doorstep. Fortunately, this is a playful, fun-loving week! Fun and games with kids, sports events and social outings will delight. Romance is blessed.
You're revved with energy until the end of June! (Get some physical exercise to blow off pent-up steam that might be building up within you.) Fortunately, this high energy will make you productive, which is timely because the Sun is in your Money House. (And you are the financial wizard of the zodiac!) You might dream up moneymaking ideas, but at a deeper level, you might be thinking about your values and what really matters. This is also an excellent week for intellectual activities and discussions with others. Relations with parents are good. It will please you to do something to improve your home. ("No matter how much I kid proof the house, they still keep getting in!")
This is a high-energy time because the Sun is in your sign; plus, for the first time in your life, unpredictable Uranus is in Gemini! This makes you impulsive, excited, impetuous and ready for anything. This is why you have a stronger than usual urge to get out and meet unusual people. With Mercury in your Money House, you have ideas about how to make money as well as ideas about how to save. You also have ideas about how to spend! Fortunately, fair Venus is now travelling through the part of your chart that influences your speech - making you gracious and diplomatic in conversations with others. Venus also promotes your ability to appreciate your daily surroundings. What a blessing.
The first two days of this week are sociable, and with Mercury in your sign, you're keen to chat to everyone. However, Mercury is slowing down this week, bringing errors, delays, misplaced items and transportation problems. Be smart and give yourself wiggle room to deal with the unexpected. You're eager to hang out with friends and groups. You might be involved in sports and competitions. Meanwhile, Venus is tempting you to buy beautiful things - art, jewelry and lovely clothes. You're on top of your game! You're busy but you're proud of what you have accomplished. Lucky Jupiter is still in your sign bringing you good fortune. It's all good!
This is a lovely week. Venus has just moved into your sign making you charming and sociable. You look attractive as well. Meanwhile the Sun is still in your House of Friendships creating the right circumstances for you to enjoy meeting new friends as well as basking in the admiration of those who love you. Despite these wonderful opportunities to schmooze, relax and enjoy the company of others - Mars is high in your chart arousing your ambition! Oh yes, you're more than just a pretty face. In fact, you can use this Mercury retrograde (which sort of "begins" this week) because it will help you to research and dig into the past and find answers and solutions to old questions. Voila!
It's a curious combination that at this very time, with the Sun at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight - making you look very good in the eyes of others - Venus now indicates a high probability of secret love affairs. Coincidence? I think not. For example, you might encounter intriguing people in all sorts of situations because not only are you keen to travel, you are more than usually intrigued with different people from unusual backgrounds. ("Meet me in the casbah!") In addition to which, old friends, perhaps younger, are drifting into your world - in person, online or in your dreams. Enjoy your popularity. (It's hard to soar with the eagles when you work with turkeys.)
Do whatever you can to give yourself a change of scenery because you want to expand your experience of the world! You can travel far or travel nearby - what you need is a stimulating change! (And hopefully a great restaurant.) You also want to learn things that are fascinating and thought-provoking. Whatever you study will intrigue you. You might be at odds with someone about financial matters, especially over jointly-held resources. (You're the master of tact.) Fortunately, your ruler fair Venus has just entered your House of Friendships, magnificently promoting group activities and schmoozing with everyone. Group settings, business conferences and casual social outings will delight -- and be meaningful.
You have a strong focus right now on finances and resources that are held jointly with someone else. You might be concerned about borrowing money or getting financial backing. You're also very keen to learn, perhaps through study and education. This is a good week to travel. Either way, you'll enjoy conversations with others about philosophy and different approaches to life. Admittedly, Mars opposite your sign might create conflicts with someone but it will give you the courage to speak your mind. This week Venus moves to the top of your chart creating favourable circumstances in all your relations - business and personal. You might fall in love with a mentor figure or a boss. Woot!
This is the last week that you really need more sleep. (Just a reminder.) Ironically, fiery Mars is boosting your energy! You will work hard and be productive. Be careful about being too bossy with others, especially if you're delegating work. The good news is that opportunities to travel are falling in your lap for the next few weeks. Grab every chance to get outta Dodge because you need a change of scenery - frequently! It revs your engines! In fact, romance with someone "different" might come your way? (Especially at the beginning of the week.) You'll particularly enjoy art exhibits, galleries, musical performances, concerts and stimulating ways to appreciate beauty. Lucky you.
This week it appears you have the best of both worlds. You'll find it easy to work hard, primarily because you're motivated to do so. Not only do you want to accomplish a lot, you want to do so efficiently and effectively. (You hate waste.) You're also more aware of your health. Do what you can to minimize what is harmful and encourage what is beneficial to you. Meanwhile, fiery Mars is exploding in your chart creating a desire to view sports, especially competitions, and get active in your social life. The arts will appeal. Oh yes - you want it all! Venus promises affection and romance. And here's the interesting part - Mercury might attract ex-partners back into your world this week. Oh my.
This is a playful, fun-loving time! Give yourself permission to do what you want, especially in terms of amusement and recreation. Enjoy schmoozing with others because all your relationships will feel lighter. Enjoy fun activities with kids. (Plus, you need to get out of the house because increased chaos and activity at home might be driving you crazy.) Fortunately, fair Venus has just moved opposite your sign encouraging warm relations with everyone. You will love them and they will love you. But here's the small print: As Mercury slows down this week, you might encounter errors, delays and misplaced items; however - Mercury will help you finish old business! Oh yes.
Home and family are your focus. (You might be involved with a parent more than usual.) In any event, you're happy to relax at home among familiar surroundings with good food and drink. Ironically, you're eager to express yourself with flair and determination. You'll be persuasive and convincing. This same intellectual determination will make learning something new attractive and appealing. Just this week, Venus has changed signs making this an excellent time to discuss agreements with others; and your relations with coworkers will be mutually supportive. Meanwhile, as Mercury starts to slow down this week, it will attract old flames back into your world, your social media, and your dreams.
