Horoscope for the week beginning June 9
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the Week
The June 9 Full Moon in Sagittarius also has the distinction of forming the third point in a Grand Trine (triangle shape) which includes Uranus in Aries and the Lunar North Node in Leo. This is especially true due to its applying conjunction with Saturn. It is this factor that brings a weighted, sober and somewhat serious tone to this otherwise exuberant moon-sign position.
Current events on the world stage such as the terrorist attack in Manchester and the decision to pull out of the controversial Paris Climate Agreement by he whose name is often spoken. Reactions are high, true to the moon, but it may be that understanding is low.
What is clear is that this bold political move is serving to bring attention to the realities of the environmental and ecological crisis the world over that continues to bring harm and shame to humanity. While the question of the cause of climate change remains hotly debated with the two most prominent opposing opinions being that of massive CO2 emissions producing a greenhouse effect and thus global warming, on one hand, and theories regarding changes in the sun. While there may well be evidence to support both it is the sun undergoing internal changes that is, ironically, the greater concern.
That the Sun is the ruling planet for the North Node in Leo is worth mentioning here. This combination of forces is what is synchronizing with the somewhat sudden escalation of the drama meter in the world. This cycle has 17-months to go yet so tune-in and make efforts to observe without undue reaction or judgment, the advice of spiritual teachings the world over. After all, politics has a way of making people feel very justified in voicing their opinions with hot-headed and heated fervor. This Fire Grand Trine is sure to deliver in this regard but we may be graced with eloquent and visionary wisdom, as well.
June 9 – 15
Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)
On one hand, you feel light and social while on the other you are determined to dig deep. You want to get to the bottom of things. Yet your focus may be fitful and sporadic. This moodiness will linger well into July and may well reveal increased intensity. The good news is that it is all part of a process of laying claim to hidden elements of your creative power.
Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)
Covering a lot of bases continues. In fact, the momentum is building to shift to the next gear level. Watch as the torque in your approach achieves increased gravity, traction and drive power. But it is not all about work. You are in the mood to play hard as well. This is where things could get tense, as in hardball.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
When we go on a venture and round the final turn that swings the direction back home, emotions rise and the excitement parallels that prior to departure. Among other things, you want to get back to your projects and family and familiar friends. It’s like you love everyone and all is forgiven, for a while anyway.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Despite a lingering mood to retreat, you also feel driven to push ahead as well. Such complex balances often simply require time management. But, tuning into these feelings can also support you to activate new initiatives. With your confidence levels steadily rising, you are in a good position to make a real impression, even if only to yourself.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
By now, key projects should be underway, even if you are still at the beginning. However, if you are unclear or insecure you may find yourself escaping somehow. If so, try to break free of the inertia by clearing a space, within and without, to simply begin working on ‘that project’ or two that is virtually calling you by name.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22)
Advancing your position professionally and/or socially continues. If you were at all hesitant before, circumstances will push you to take big action. Financial ambitions and responsibilities are part of this plot. Cultural interests are highlighted as well. Sweet dreams are made of these kinds of moments so make sure you are seen and heard.
Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22)
Seeing a bigger picture includes seeing yourself and the world and yourself in the world in new ways. Opportunities to express yourself are available and feel important. You feel ambitious and this includes both learning and unlearning; letting go of old self-concepts, roles, attitudes and postures that are no longer relevant. Yet you remain eager to explore new territory.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
A process of looking deeply within continues. This includes how you have expressed your personal power. You are especially focused on opportunities for creative self-expression. Pushing through old patterns and moving on from various relationship involvements or approaches is featured.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Inspirations to engage socially are pushing you to reach out. This momentum has been active for many months but the impulse is extra strong now. Behind the scenes and/or in the back of your mind, a deeper process is underway. You are both noticing and seeing the realities and effects of change both within and all around you. Trust the flow and focus to be here and now.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Paying closer attention to the quality of your daily routine is important now. The main question you are asking yourself is how inspired do you feel? As well, are you living up to or according to your ideals? Only you can answer this question and no one can or will make the efforts necessary to adjust accordingly, for you.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
A creative and playful cycle continues. It includes the urge to create beauty close to home. Yet this is where the plot thickens. There is work to do and this may well include deep cleaning, purging, and renovations. Circumstances may also require you to take a philosophical approach, to see the relativity of things. Life is change.
Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20)
A good deal of focus and energy on the home front continues. Sifting and sorting, cleaning and clearing, renovating and building and/or moving are all likely activities. This includes attending to a variety of fronts and multi-tasking. Meanwhile, many new thoughts and ideas are stirring. Your ambitions are leading you to reach out and, in some respects, to new directions.
