Horoscope for the week beginning June 7
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
The first of two eclipse seasons officially ends tomorrow at the exact moment of the New Moon. It occurs in Gemini at 8:56 a.m. PDT. Although the three eclipses are behind us, two lunar and a solar in between, do you think they left an impression? Like fish in water contending with new currents, the effects can be subtle especially when it is unclear what to look for or expect. But with a little bit of awareness we can see and feel and notice and realize the activations that have taken place leaving their mark and influence forever more.
While this can be said of any moment or event in time, some time periods are much more impactful than others. So, however these eclipses were destined to influence us in the respective ways they would, according to our respective destinies, the season is now over and the torch has been passed awaiting its time to re-ignite the next eclipse season of 2013, which occurs on October 18 starting with a Lunar Eclipse in Aries followed by a Solar Eclipse two weeks later on November 3 in Scorpio. In the meantime, we are back to regular New and Full Moons which can still be impactful and which invariably play key roles as well.
From a wider angle, 2013 is proving to be very eventful so far and this trend will escalate let alone continue. This first year of a whole new era, according to Mayan cosmology, is certainly living up to its forecast as a transformational one. As well, the Year of the Chinese Water Snake in which a shedding of old skins both individually and collectively is destined to occur should be quite evident by now. That the snake year tends to have a back and forth sort of wiggle and shake effect, producing a wavering sense of confidence and with considerable intensity all makes sense according to what I see occurring. How about you?
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
The effects of this transformational time are evident to many and are most likely so to you. This will prove especially true over the next few weeks. Your energy levels stand to be running high and this is contributing to a punchy, rebellious and impulsive mood. The release valve to this high-pressure system is to focus on your own change and avoid projecting on to others.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
If you have not already made good of this extra expansive cycle that has been lingering since last year, now is your opportunity. You know that saying: “if you snooze you lose…” well take it as a hint. The creative potential of this time requires that you dig a little deeper and push a little harder, maybe even a lot of both. Carpe diem!
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
This New Moon in your sign should come as a welcome break. This is your heads-up to make the most of it and perhaps cover lost ground. The pace may have been frustrating over the past while in terms of progress. At best it has been a time of seeds and germination. Now the sprouts are coming through. Expect accelerated growth.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
You are entering an extra delicate period. You may have to dip even deeper into your inner reservoir of faith. Prayer, meditation, retreat, more rest time, reaching out for support, exercising positive thoughts and spoken words and, perhaps above all keeping your imagination in check are all the types of answers that will prove valuable at this time.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Change continues to snap and crackle in the air. Some of it is intentional and due to your own deliberate choices and actions while some of it may be taking you by surprise. The time is right to increase your scope of communications and extend your reach beyond familiar bounds. Diplomacy remains extra important and includes win/win negotiations.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Your public and professional spheres will be activated by this lunar cycle, in a big way. It is important that you be focused and disciplined and that you do your homework. This includes research, training, outreach and calculated risk taking. If you are not as sure of your direction as you would like, focus to determine what seems best and ask for guidance as necessary.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
Your energy levels have been rising and this trend will continue. This new cycle will present the opportunities and inspiration to break through inner and outer lines of resistance. The inner lines include potentially limiting beliefs, attitudes, perceptions and self-concepts. Intend to keep an open mind, listen more, talk less create a dynamic momentum.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
A deep theme called ‘the dual desires of the soul’ is not only a core life theme, it is very active now. It implies the process of deciphering whether it is better to move away from or towards the source. Both have their time and place. Moving towards source is deeper and more serious yet can prove very empowering while moving away if more, well… out there. Your call!
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
A good deal of stimulating events and activity on relationship fronts should be keeping you busy now and over the coming weeks. This is likely to be an expansive and opportune time. This cycle began last year actually and now is coming to yet another peak. Yet, it is important that you are willing and actively letting go of and in fact clearing the old to make way for the new.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
You have entered an important cycle calling for improvement. This can apply to a variety of fronts yet is most likely to be needed in the overall quality of your lifestyle. By extension it is your daily rhythm and routine that requires your attention and this includes your work or job. Fortunately, this is an extra creative cycle. Be willing to give a lot to receive.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
If you feel due for some added playtime in your life, get excited because the opportunity for some has arrived. The season and the stars both are in alignment for fun. This inspirational wave can also be used for more serious creative self-expression. Yet, for balance at least some measures of social activity and cultural stimulation will provide the seasoning in the mix.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The creative focus and potential of this cycle will be evident close to home. However, since home is where your heart is, literally, it could produce an urge to reach out and cover new ground as well. Your ambitions should be on the steady rise as well so you will feel moved to be productive. If you can, focus on the home front first.
