    Horoscope for the Week:  July 2, 2021

    Tip of the Week:

    July is the 7th Month and when added to the Universal 5-Year produced by the addition of the numbers in 2021, the result is 12, which further adds to 3. Thus, July is a Universal 12/3 Month. While not technically the Master Number that 11 is, the archetypal significance of 12 is indeed special. Interestingly, Jupiter Neptune are both retrograde in Pisces,  the 12th Sign of the Zodiac and will be throughout July.

    The significance of 12 is why we have 12 Zodiac Signs, 12 months, 2 x 12 hours in a day with 12 midnight and 12 noon symbolic of Winter and Summer Solstice and the all-important conjunction and opposition aspects in Astrology. Then there are the 12 Meridians and the 12 Nodes in the brain and the list goes on… 12 is also symbolic of breaking patterns based on efforts to see  ourselves and the world  and in the world in new and better ways. Tune into the power of 12.

     

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

    A deep dive into the core of your being is a featured theme now. This can include your ancestral roots and deciphering more clearly what you inherited. Of course, you do have free will choice, yet it must contend with the tendencies of your inheritances.  In other regards, you yearn for love and passion, or possibly romance and at least some fun, finding you in hot pursuit.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

    This time of year often finds you in busy-bee-mode. Fortunately, you are happy in this gear especially when the results of your actions are productively practical. Creating beauty in your home is featured and includes improvements and renovations. Either way, you yearn to break free but you know that the key to unlock the door is consistent, disciplined focus.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    Nurturing new perspectives continues. Realizing that you do perceive reality as it is so much as who you are and how you have been conditioned will prove liberating. So, how have you been conditioned to think? What sources do you expose yourself to? Are you credulous or open to conversations and new interpretations? Free your mind.

    Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

    The Sun in your sign indicates new beginnings. These will be especially activated by the New Moon in your sign on July 9. The Solar Eclipse served to activate critical thinking to deepen and sharpen. This process will continue all year until the next eclipse season in six months. Jupiter and Neptune meanwhile are triggering spiritual visions and convictions.

    Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

    You are happy to hover behind the scenes for a while. However, there is also a pioneering impulse at play. How these two energies will be balanced is up to you. A yearning for harmony and freedom are featured. In the background, a yearning to deepen your spiritual discipline is also indicated. Keep it simple with a consistent focus to center in your heart.

    Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

    A revolutionary impulse is contributing to an impulse to get more public and professional attention. You have your thinking cap on and you mean business. Doing inner work is also indicated, to love and forgive yourself and others. A key to do this is to lay claim to 100% responsibility, for your part, for all of your experiences and relationships.

    Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

    Paying attention to the details of the bigger picture is important to you now. This is extending into your public life and this trend will continue. You yearn to share thoughts and ideas more than usual. Dealing with fears and worries is a full-time job. Yet, you want to do your part, however you interpret that to be.

    Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

    The recent eclipse activated deep changes within you. These have and will lead to new perspectives. People and circumstances are pushing you to open your mind to recognize your own interpretations, opinions and assumptions.  This does not mean you have to change them, but simply to recognize their relativity, in light of those of others.

    Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

    Changes in your relationships are underway. Some of these may be subtle and not noticeable, yet they are actually moving quickly. A part of the reason for this is because you yourself are undergoing a mini, personal transformation process.  Meanwhile, a playful and adventurous mood is rising steadily and you year to get away from it all.

    Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

    Changes in your lifestyle are affecting your dreams, and vice versa. Positively, you feel like you are seeing things more clearly than ever. Meanwhile, your desires for more stability are serving to spur your ambitions. You are willing to dig-in deep and push as hard as you can. Where sheer effort does not suffice, you will weave-in wit and charm, as necessary.

    Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

    You are feeling creative and inspired to take some pioneering leads. These begin with thoughts and ideas and followed by action. Both these measures are probably already underway. It is very much a matter of follow-through now. The willpower to push for what you want is stronger than usual. Get clear on your dreams and go for it!

    Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

    The recent eclipse has planted a potent seed in your home and family life. Change is likely and has already activated your thought processes. Changes in your usual rhythm are also highlighted and should be evident by now.  Some of these may feel like a mixed blessing, or worse. Jupiter and Neptune in your sign are whispering to you to share your wisdom.

  • Horoscope for the Week: June 25, 2021

    Horoscope for the Week:  June 25, 2021

    Tip of the Week:

    Summer has finally, officially begun. Its first gift is the fact that Mercury in Gemini has also turned direct after 3-weeks of retrograde motion. Because Mercury was in its own ruling sign, it may not have proven to be as difficult as usual, yet it probably still produced real reversals and turnarounds for some, for better or worse.

    Now, we are in what is called the 3-week ‘shadow period’ which is the time period during which time Mercury retraces the ‘degrees’ it went over while retrograde. What this also indicates is that those degrees were ‘transited’ by Mercury three times: first while direct, second by retrograde, and third when by direct motion again. This is always true of the planet-retrograde-process and can be understood as a triple stitching of key themes of destiny.

    So, the Sun in Cancer marking Summer Solstice as of June 20 and  Jupiter in Pisces turned Retrograde the same day, Mercury Direct as of June 22, Neptune Retrograde on June 25 and Venus enters Leo on June 26.

     

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

    Now that summer is officially here, balancing your time between work, home, family and fun in the sun has also returned. Despite the ongoing plight of the human condition, you are determined to weave in some playtime. Some final touches of the finer details may continue but they too will yield to quality time shared and this trend will continue for a while.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

    While others are reaching out, you may find yourself digging in. Taking projects to a deeper level is implied. These may reach to your living environment, yet may also be focused on your most intimate locale – your body, mind, heart and soul. Self-awareness and positive self-regard are the preliminaries. Beyond that, bonding with family and friends has become a priority.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    The new perspectives stimulated by the recent eclipse have now passed their germination phase and are beginning to take root. If you have not opened your mind to consider new interpretations, you may find yourself feeling moody, pouty, and perhaps impatient with others whose views differ from yours. This is your invitation to re-imagine what you deem to be true.

    Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

    As though a bright light has been switched on in the basement of your mind, synchronistic events are serving to awaken you.  Whether you are happy or not with what you are now exposed to is another matter. It is up to you whether you choose to turn the lights back off and ignore what was revealed. Of course, the consequences of denial and evasion will also be yours with which to contend.

    Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

    A boost to your sense of originality and/or individuality is now underway.  With Mercury retrograde, it could lead you to wishful thinking or over idealistic interpretations regarding others. Therefore, avoid assumptions and listen more as you communicate. Consider that objective reality is the illusion that we partake in since we all experience it subjectively.

    Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

    The recent activation to your career and/or public life should be evident by now. Positively, you are responding consciously and deliberately. If you find yourself feeling stressed or guilty due to procrastination and not listening to your intuitions or missing the outer signs of synchronicity, this is your cue to wake-up! Sober, strategic, disciplined action is probably required.

    Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

    Mercury now direct, may feel like you have emerged out of something of a foggy spell. At best, perhaps you went on something of a soul-searching journey and have emerged with a new quality of clarity and understanding. The host of planetary shifts is likely serving to bring you back to reality now. The cycles   activated could prove advantageous in your career life.

    Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

    Planets in Gemini have the effect of triggering some form of transformation for you. This has been the case over the past several weeks and continues for another few. These processes tend to swing between practical and spiritual considerations. The two meet when our choices and actions align with our destiny and produce meaningful contributions.

    Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

    Activations in your relationship life continue to evolve and will now shift to a deeper level   of change and transformation. Specifically, these reveal a subtle process of tuning-in to inner guidance. Logic guided by wisdom is your basic soul path. The shift does include an inspirational ignition thanks to Venus and Mars in Leo.

    Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

    A whole new round and level of critical thinking has been activated. It is causing you to discern and differentiate between what you perceive to be reality and fantasy, or fact and imagination. Realism is your guiding light yet deciphering what it is and constitutes in terms of actual choices is part of the plot. Meanwhile, your passions and ambitions are rising.

    Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

    The creative inspirations seeded by the Gemini Solar Eclipse have now shifted to the nitty-gritty work required to make them manifest. This implies the need to get your imagination working for you as opposed to dwelling in it. The Leo influence will activate your relationship life and probably for the better, yet you will require a bit more freedom too.

    Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

    A creative cycle has begun. Yet, it is one that requires more effort than idle fun. It comes on the heels of the eclipse that likely produced shifts close to home. These may have the effect of altering your priorities. Now, the focus is on responding to these activations, which will require a sporting approach, as in, ‘the game is afoot’.

  • Horoscope for the Week: June 18, 2021

    Horoscope for the Week:  June 18, 2021

    Tip of the Week:

    Last week’s Solar Eclipse comes to its First Quarter phase, or half moon, this week.  By now, the impact of it should be evident, but sometimes there is a delay and it comes to objective clarity at the Full Moon, and/or it manifests as a series of synchronistic events, again coming to fuller awareness within the first two weeks. Without the astrological knowledge of what these synchronicities imply, it is common for people to chalk them up to coincidences subject to the circumstantial flow of outer events and, thereby, miss out on understanding the deeper synchronicities implied. In other words, the ego-mind relegates the events according to lower-minded perspectives.

    The higher mind awareness reveals clarity regarding our destiny and offers valuable insights to understanding the synchronicities of life as opportunities for evolutionary growth of the soul.  In short, we can either live in the lower mind of random circumstances as we tend to our ego-centric perspectives, or we can awaken to live life consciously and with vision in accordance with the purpose of our incarnation. This is the wisdom that astrology can provide.

     

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

    As Summer Solstice fast approaches, you find yourself focused on completing projects started earlier in the season to make room for some fun in the sun. Yet, creating a beautiful home is a feature of your desire to contribute to a happy family life, so you are willing to make the extra effort. In the background, you are beginning to see things more clearly and precisely.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

    A busy time continues. Multi-tasking may seem to be the new norm for you. Yet, in as much as you deem your efforts to be creative, you are happy. Where others are completing renovations projects,   you may be just getting started or are launching new projects. Positively, your focus has been strong, yet focus to be aware not to lapse into inflexibility, especially now when versatility is the key.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    Many new perspectives have been activated by last week’s Solar Eclipse. It indicates an invitation to think critically at a whole new level of depth.  At least, this was its potential, but it does depend on your willingness to be receptive to see and interpret yourself and reality differently. A rebellious impulse is either pushing you to greater defense or to question popular opinions.

    Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

    Some measure of retreat or turning inward to meditate and contemplate more deeply upon what is true and what you have come to believe will be activated by this eclipse. The compelling fact is that just because you believe something it does not mean it is true. Courage and resolve is required to see truly and denying it won’t help much either, at least not in any genuinely spiritual sense.

    Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

    A boost to your sense of originality and/or individuality is now underway.  With Mercury retrograde, it could lead you to wishful thinking or over idealistic interpretations regarding others. Therefore, avoid assumptions and listen more as you communicate. Consider that objective reality is the illusion that we partake in since we all experience it subjectively.

    Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

    The influence of this eclipse is slated to continue until the next eclipse season in six months. So, during this time and starting now, you will experience activation in your public life and professional arena. Mars in Cancer at the time of the eclipse will push you to a rebellious and/or revolutionary assertion, and now in Leo, requires courage.

    Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

    The air element factor of this eclipse aligns well with your air sign nature. However, Mercury is destined to play a role at this time of leaving you feeling a little lost and confused. This is a temporary factor, but it could last a while, months even, yet with increasingly less potency. Other factors point to a drive to get to the bottom of things, yet may require new tools and guidance.

    Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

    You have entered a complex cycle. It was anchored with the eclipse, and will linger for a while, as long as several months in extreme instances. However, other more favorable cycles are serving to soften some of the edge. Positively, these impulses can be harnessed to increase your power and influence in the world. Free your mind and the rest will follow.

    Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

    Fresh starts in your relationship life have been activated. The pursuit of new kinds of knowledge is featured. You will have to discipline your focus to achieve this successful piece. With your confidence levels rising, this is probably a good time to start. Your energy levels and with heightened ambitions, combined, makes this a good time to reach for your dreams.

    Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

    Many new thoughts regarding what you deem true and important are running through your mind. At worst, you feel overwhelmed with information and scattered in your perspectives and focus. Positively, your powers of critical analysis are stronger than usual, yet so too is your susceptibility to be influenced.  So, you may want to direct your vigilance to what you are learning and the reliability of the source.

    Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

    You have entered a creative cycle. Yet, Mercury retrograde is contributing layers of complexity blocking you from interpreting reality as clearly as you might believe. This influence will be alleviated over the coming weeks, albeit possibly slowly. Circumstances may be requiring you to give more, yet you may feel reluctant to do so. In fact, you are more inclined to rebel and even fight than to idly yield.

    Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

    Changes close to home in close time proximity to this Solar Eclipse, perhaps a bit prior or perhaps coming to full consciousness soon, is a central theme now. It probably has already activated a strong resolve to make some measurable changes to your usual approach. This trend will continue throughout the summer season so tune-in to get a lot done.

  • Horoscope for the Week:  June 11, 2021

    Horoscope for the Week:  June 11, 2021

    Tip of the Week:

    The Solar Eclipse on June 10 is the big news now. Although it is not ‘total’ as was the recent Lunar Eclipse, it is the bigger event, astrologicallyThe first basic reason is the fact that the Sun is involved, the star, and that it occurs during a New Moon, the cosmic, seminal event, the root cause… Both are impactful, relative to the subject experiencing it. Yet, you have to want to step back to truly see and understand it. This is where astrology is the master tool, once it is mastered.

    The exact degree of the eclipse is 19 Gemini 47. Mercury at 20 Gemini 47 and retrograde reveals that it is closely and auspiciously aligned with the Sun and Moon, thus a significant feature of the seed event. Altogether, they are indirectly yet powerfully aligned with Aquarius, the sign of awakening and revolution. Uranus and Venus together are activating Libran themes which will activate a strong impulse towards fairness and justice.

     

    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

    The Solar Eclipse will have a direct impact on your perceptions and interpretations. They reveal a more penetrating perspective than usual and will also amplify the scope and quality of your relationships and friendship networks. Jupiter in Pisces could cause you to sleep through it all unless you are eager and willing to be awake and aware to see through illusions and deceptions.

    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)

    The eclipse will have the effect of making you much busier. A multi-tasking scenario is likely as you happily enter a productive cycle. Yet, your focus will be strong driving to get to the bottom of things.  Renovations of some kind are implied.  As likely as outer activities are outer activities, the focus could   also turn to personal growth and liberation from negative habits.

    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)

    Circumstances are pushing you to take new leads. Your energy levels should increase as you assert a resolve to understand. An expansive influence in your public and professional life is active yet remains in its early stages and encompasses an 18-month time period. Success will require both a larger vision of possibility and a disciplined resolve to see through and beyond habitual perspectives.

    Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)

    Some measure of retreat or turning inward to meditate and contemplate more deeply upon what is true and what you have come to believe will be activated by this eclipse. The compelling fact is that just because you believe something it does not mean it is true. Courage and resolve is required to see truly and denying it won’t help much either, at least not in any genuinely spiritual sense.

    Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)

    The strong Gemini factor will have the effect of activating your sense of individuality. You will be prompted to think for yourself. With Mars entering your sign, your resolve will be backed by an added measure of strength, courage and determination. Meanwhile, returns for past efforts have begun to roll-in, for better or worse, and this trend will continue.

    Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)

    Your career and public life in general is destined to get a boost thanks to this eclipse. Friends from the past could re-enter your life and bring with them a boost of confidence. Expansion on social and professional fronts is featured and includes creative activity backed by a practical focus. Some of this resolve will be directed towards facing inner doubts.

    Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

    This eclipse will activate a mix of clear visions and feeling lost and confused. Like trekking through low-lying clouds, your vision may be clear one moment and then obscured the next. Consequently, your confidence levels could waver for a while. Tending to your overall state of health will contribute to achieving feelings of empowerment and equilibrium.

    Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

    A core feature of your destiny includes confronting the need to decide between higher and lower roads. It appears that you have arrived at such a juncture once again. It is said that those who go hard tend to have easier lives while those who go easy tend to have harder lives. How might this consideration apply to your current situation?

    Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

    Changes on relationship fronts could rock your world over the coming days, weeks and months even, if this eclipse is destined to trigger powerful karmic points. You will know soon. Positively, there are indications that your confidence levels are currently rising. It remains that you are in a cycle that requires commitment and discipline to gain new knowledge.

    Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

    Some cycles emphasize health more than others.  As well, sometimes the focus is upon mental and emotional health more than upon physical. This is indicated now and you may be challenged with overcoming scattered, confused and even hysterical emotional states. Resolution may come more from quietude, retreat and meditation than talk therapy, yet deep, spiritual insight may also help.

    Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)

    The current, powerful Gemini factor stands to be a real boost for you. The retrograde feature does imply some complexities, yet leans towards sharpened focus. Getting clear regarding your aim will allow you to identify what you want and how to navigate towards it. Be willing to give more in terms of being resourceful and seeding your imagination with clear visions of desired outcomes.

    Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)

    The Gemini Solar Eclipse will impact you at your very core. This could well include your home and living situation and your family. Complex emotions are indicated and will likely require clarity and focus in terms of your values, priorities and resolve to overcome them. See this as an opportunity to better know who you are and ‘to thine own self be true’.

  • Horoscope for the Week: June 4, 2021

    Horoscope for the Week:  June 4, 2021

    Tip of the Week:
    This week begins at the mid-point between the May 26 Total Lunar Eclipse and the June 10 Solar Eclipse which occurs at 19 Gemini 47. As well, Mercury is retrograde in its own sign at 20 Gemini 41, less than one degree away. So, this Gemini theme will remain strong throughout June and even dip well into July.  The main theme reveals communications shared. Venus in Cancer adds to this theme in terms of people wanting to feel secure. Uranus in Taurus plays a special role as does Saturn in Aquarius in this scenario, producing a strong, if indirect, Aquarian theme thus activating a rebellious impulse to ‘get the facts’, beyond the mainstream narrative. Thus, the social dialogue will include a powerful surge of intrigue and debate, all of which could prove quite polarized. Mars entering Leo the very day after the New Moon Solar Eclipse will also add hot sauce to this portrait as more and more people seek true answers and justice.
    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
    The Gemini influence will strongly activate you to put on your strongest thinking cap. You will enter into dialogue with a sporting attitude and one in which you want to win. You will score points by getting facts outside the mainstream box and by offering intel to others of the same caliber. Seeking solace from it all will lead you also to desire quietude and retreat to meditate and reflect upon it all.
    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
    You tend to be a busy bee and this will prove especially true over the coming weeks. You will go harder and dig deeper than you perhaps have for some time. Creating a whole new level of beauty close to home could be a strong focus.  Yet, the emphasis may be more specifically directed towards security. Fortifying foundations is featured in this overall theme focus.
    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
    Strong emphasis of planetary activity in your sign will activate pioneering initiatives of some kind. These may include new perceptions and interpretations of what you previously regarded as fact. Awakening to imagine realities that you previously did not consider could prove unsettling. Mars entering Leo will activate increased energy levels and some measure of drama too.
    Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
    The Gemini factor could push you behind the scenes for a while. Meanwhile, Venus in your sign could manifest as the urge to express yourself creatively and artistically with beauty guiding your focus. Mars in Leo will contribute by firing your engines for the sake of financial returns. Investment thinking could gain more attention as you assert with added, revolutionary fervor.
    Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 23)
    The themes of rebellion in association to this eclipse are strong in general and this will prove especially true for you and this trend will continue and deepen this month and well into July. Still, you may find yourself treading softly for the better part of this month so as not to get blasted by backlash by anyone unable to think outside of their conditioned, comfortable perceptions.
    Virgo (Aug 24 – Sep 22)
    This eclipse has and may still produce changes close to home. Some of these may seem small and relatively inconsequential, yet will be measurable just the same.  On the other hand, changes over the past several weeks and over the coming weeks and possibly months, as well, could be much more noticeable and you will learn about these very soon.
    Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
    New visions are dawning. This trend will continue throughout June. Like an upgrade to your operating system, you may feel a little lost with it for a while. Recognizing that you did not see reality as it was before and you do not now, either, because no one does, not in any absolute sense, but that you are learning to see it differently, should suffice. Awaken to new perceptions and interpretations.
    Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
    Changes on relationship fronts continue to roll-in. The fuller realization of who is involved should have culminated or at least become stronger at the time of the recent Lunar Eclipse. If it is happening but you are not aware of the reasons or implications in terms of your own destiny, you probably have some work to do. Positively, new partnerships are dawning.
    Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
    Subtle shifts in your lifestyle and or daily rhythm and routine continue. Due to Uranus’ influence some of these may seem counter-intuitive. Positively, a new wave of confidence and peace has found its way in. This is due to Jupiter in Pisces.  It will be there until late July before it re-enters Aquarius until it re-enters Pisces again in late December, so make the most of it.
    Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
    A creative impulse was activated at the last New Moon. Shifts in your perspectives, perhaps especially related to relationships, were featured. Outer events underway now will activate the next phase of the destiny cycle. These may catch you by surprise and you may feel a little overwhelmed by the array of activities triggered by it. This trend will continue so keep your imagination in check.
    Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 19)
    A new level of peace has entered your consciousness. Perhaps you have come to new realizations that allow you to transcend the depth of drama unfolding in the world, or perhaps you have simply surrendered. Either way, it is probably the result of inner work you have done. Enjoy it now and prepare for a new round of creative activity that will include outer instigation.
    Pisces (Feb 20 – Mar 20)
    Slowly but surely, some of your perspectives have changed.  These have likely culminated as shifts in your public and professional life, as well. Positively, you have entered an expansive mode and you feel inspired and enthusiastic to participate. Purges, cleaning, clearing the clutter and making way for the new could range from new appliances to new perspectives altogether.

  • Horoscope for the Week: May 28, 2021

    Horoscope for the Week:  May 28, 2021

    Tip of the Week:
    The Full Moon on May 26 occurs at 6 Sagittarius 29 and it is a Lunar Eclipse. Because the Moon is symbolic of the past, roots, ancestry and history, when it is eclipsed it tends to point to the future, yet whereas Solar Eclipses tend to manifest as outer events, Lunar Eclipses usually occur as internal, subjective shifts. We know the sign and degree of the eclipse, but the other main factor is to decipher what house is being activated in your Natal Chart and is it making any strong aspects to other planets and angles. The degrees most affected will be from 4 to 9 and the signs most strongly affected are the Mutable signs: Sagittarius, Gemini, Pisces and Virgo, and Taurus and Cancer. Yet, any planet or angle within this range of degrees will at least undergo subtle shifts.
    Mercury turning retrograde for its usual tri-annual, 3-week cycle begins on May 30 and continues until June 21, Summer Solstice. It occurs in Gemini which, generally speaking, is the most favorable of all the signs.
    Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
    This eclipse will activate the urge for freedom. This may manifest as simply as an impulse to retreat and get away from it all for a while. Projects may be set aside for a while. Meanwhile, a flood of new perspectives has been coming in all week and this will continue. Some of these could even prove life-changing. You will ask questions and want answers, cross-referenced.
    Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20)
    This eclipse will trigger some rather deep changes. Positively, you will feel moved to exercise a whole new level of discipline. As well, it could trigger a rebellious urge to break through whatever you deem to be blocking your way. It could also manifest as an industrious period. With Mercury retrograde, the bigger challenge will be to overcome bull-headed pride…
    Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)
    Changes on relationship fronts will   likely be activated by the eclipse. These will be linked to your perceptions and priorities. While your focus will be sharp, you could find yourself reconsidering previously-held opinions and interpretations. One way or another, you will push to get to the bottom of things and this could prove upsetting, yet liberating.
    Cancer (Jun 22 – Jul 22)
