Horoscope for the week beginning June 17
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
Summer Solstice this year coincides with the Full Moon. Specifically, the Moon comes to its official peak at 4:02 a.m. PDT and then the Sun enters Tropical Cancer at 3:34 p.m., both on June 20. Among other things, this indicates that the exact moment of the Full Moon occurs in Sagittarius, and specifically 29 Sagittarius 23.
Planets at the 29th degree of any sign, whether our Birth Chart or by transit and progression present a theme of overcoming. This is especially true when this critical degree appears in our Birth Chart. Yet, regarding this moment now with the Moon Full at 29, we can expect a cycle that will synchronize as and with circumstances where needed to overcome something in our attitude, perceptions, interpretations and/or choices. How this theme will unfold depends on where it occurs in your Birth Chart and what other planets are activated by aspect. Any planet between 23 and 7 degrees of any sign will be activated, but the closer to 29, the bigger the effect.
In the bigger picture, the Universal 9 Year continues to influence changes, completions, purging and eliminating the old in any and every sense in preparation for a new 9-year round that begins on January 1, 2017. There is nothing average about this year, but it remains the pre-launch. 2016 is synchronizing with complex, exciting, disruptive, liberating times.

June 17-23
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
A social cycle continues. A busy schedule with much to do, plenty of quick visits and a rich exchange of information has been a likely theme. This week you will feel the shift, however. You will want to spend more and more time close to home, with family and friends initially shifting towards taking in the season’s beauty.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
The quickening pace is about to get quicker yet. Tending to a variety of fronts, mixing business and pleasure, could prove animated and fun. Your emotional barometer will rise as well. Expect sentimentality to enter into the plot and perhaps drama and bigger mood swings too. Get ready; the ride is about to get a bit wilder.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Some fresh starts are quickly manifesting as unexpected turns. These and already existing rhythms are leading you to embrace your inner council. Increasing your overall heath levels is featured. Relationship commitments are under review as well. It may simply be about adjusting how much time you spend and where.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
An inward cycle is drawing to a close; it will linger, though, and present a gradual shift. The activation will prove noticeable, a turning point of sorts. It will take about a week before the momentum increases. It will feel like you have your energy back. This will contribute to fuelling your ambitions to work and play.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
The momentum remains high in terms of social outreach. It could manifest as simply as more social media exposure or it could lead you out to meet, greet and participate. If this is what you want, then you are wise to take the initiative now to activate a momentum. Otherwise, get ready to do an added measure of inner work.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Things are getting clearer by the day. In some respects, it could feel like a wake-up call. Otherwise, you feel more grounded and determined. You will feel your energy levels rise and with them your ambitions too over the coming weeks. Used well, this could produce a breakthrough period, in answer to your prayers.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
You have begun to see a bigger picture. With each new day, it may feel as though you are learning half a dozen new things. Much of these may be linked to social trends. However, there is a deeper story underway as well. Behind the scenes, you are doing what may be deemed the real work.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
You have arrived at an important juncture, perhaps a fork in the road. Deciphering what constitutes your next steps may feel more important than usual. It may also feel necessary to step back to gain a clearer perspective. Deepen your own research process balanced by being open to the advice of others.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A lot of interaction on relationship fronts should be keeping you busy and entertained these days. Generally, you are in an expansive cycle and it could be good for your career as well. Opportunities for advancement and promotion are indicated, but you will have to earn it. Your energy levels may be low, however, so pace yourself.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
A creative process of generating ideas and plans to support your ambitions continues. Exercising extra measures of critical analysis feel necessary. Call it healthy skepticism so you make realistic choices. You are open to inspired thinking and dreams of possibility, yet they will have had to have been tried and proven already.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
There may have been a delay in feeling as spontaneous in your urge to socialize, but no longer. The time has come to reach out and have some fun. Your career and public status may be shifting causing you to feel somewhat unsettled but this too will change soon. Have confidence despite the turbulence and cut loose.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
Changes on the home front have and continue to unfold. Attending to various adjustments, cleaning and beautifying your environment and the like are featured. Yet, you also feel restless; which is partially linked to your ambitions. Career responsibilities and/or challenges are also heavier these days.
