Horoscopes
Aries
You may feel overlooked or otherwise in the background today, dear Aries. Again today, there can be some difficulty making big decisions or seeing your situation clearly. You could be dealing with guilt about things you’re not accomplishing. There may be news that worries you, but that can also lead to a clearing of the air. Insecurities can be a problem today, but learning from them is also very possible and worthwhile. The Moon moves into your intimacy sector this morning, stirring up deeper feelings and a desire to learn more about your own inner workings and the motivations of others.
Taurus
Insecure feelings can be stimulated today, dear Taurus, particularly regarding a friend, group, or finances. Watch that you don’t go along with others’ plans just for the sake of keeping the peace, all the while ignoring your inner voice. There can be some feeling of lack of loyalty and general distrust around us, making it a less than ideal day for pushing your personal agenda or for trying to repair relationships. Keep an open mind and aim to learn about yourself if something touches a nerve or emotional wound. The Moon moves into your partnership sector this morning, stimulating a stronger awareness of your relationships and need for companionship.
Gemini
The demands of career, family, parents, or other responsibilities have a way of making themselves known today, dear Gemini. While you can be very sensitive to expectations and limitations, you may lack the confidence to do something about it just for now. You don’t have to toe the line completely, as that will lead to inner frustration, but you might decide to wait things out until you have a plan that you can truly call your own. This may not be the best time for big decisions, but good energy is with you for paying special attention to daily routines, work, or health initiatives.
Cancer
You can be struggling with your faith in a belief, idea, direction, or relationship this week, dear Cancer, and today, you could be focusing on disappointments or unresolved problems from the past. This can be useful but only to a certain extent – try to let go of issues you can’t change if they are bringing you down. Try not to take others’ views too personally and resolve to learn from those things that trigger feelings of vulnerability. The Moon moves into your playful, expressive solar fifth house this morning, and this can help you to rise above smaller problems. Today and tomorrow are good for creating and enjoying favorite pastimes as the Moon brings out the “play” in you.
Leo
Your ruler, the Sun, is challenged today, dear Leo. Self-doubts might undermine your decisions and your interactions if you are working on auto-pilot. A temporary lack of confidence, however, can in fact help you out if you use the time wisely to get into better touch with yourself and your needs. Hold off on making a bold move until you’re sure that your plan is something you can truly put your name on. Some of you could be confused about feelings in a relationship and/or support (financial or otherwise). Boundaries may be crossed and it could be challenging to know how, when, and if to make them clear. The Moon’s move into your family and home sector stimulates a need for familiarity and comfort.
Virgo
Insecurities tend to be stimulated today, dear Virgo, especially about your performance, meeting responsibilities, or your close relationships. Avoid trying too hard to please people, which might, quite unintentionally, make them uncomfortable. Serve yourself by meeting others halfway – this way you protect yourself from growing resentments. You may need to work on asserting yourself more effectively with a partner. Hone in on weaknesses or vulnerabilities that need attention and aim to learn from them. The Moon’s move into your communications sector this morning can stimulate a desire to learn, connect, and mingle. Don’t let insecurities cause you to shy away from things you love.
Libra
There is a tendency to want to please and appease people instead of stand up for ourselves today, dear Libra. Try not to go overboard with this as you may not get the desired response. You might also feel a pinch on a financial level. It may be too easy for others to touch upon your sore spots. Even so, your mood could push you out of complacency and into action. You have the opportunity to work on resolving problems now, starting from the small things and working your way up. The Moon leaves your sign this morning and enters your resources sector. It’s a good time for seeking out earthy, grounding activities.
Scorpio
Emotional attachments can be a little confusing today, dear Scorpio. The general temptation is to go along with whatever we feel makes others happy, but this can only lead to problems down the road. Insecurities can surface now, but as the day moves forward, you can quickly find ways to feel more empowered. In fact, doubts can motivate you to take action, resolve problems, and get yourself out of a funk. Resolve to grow stronger by identifying those things that you lie to yourself about. This way you can avoid dead end roads in your life, and you can also pat yourself on the back for your self-honesty. The Moon enters your sign this morning, pulling up buried feelings and a stronger sense of self.
Sagittarius
Problems in the home or with family should be sorted out as soon as possible today, dear Sagittarius, and although you can be tempted to use a quick-fix approach, try to dig a little deeper. If your home life and relationships with family are askew, it can be very hard to get other areas of life into order. Your home is your base, and it’s important to treat it as such – work on it first and see other areas of your life blossom by extension. Avoiding issues will keep you in a rut. Uncertainty about your own feelings and opinions can make you a little vulnerable to being pushed around. Identify your limits in terms of when you feel put upon before they’re exceeded. Resolve to make changes and to grow with and through them.
Capricorn
Watch for appeasing people just for the sake of keeping the peace today, dear Capricorn, as this can backfire on you. There may be an awkward situation with a friend, and you might even feel taken advantage of. Be politely honest instead of taking the roundabout or avoidant route. However, if you can put off important/formal conversations, interviews, or presentations, then do so, because the energy of the day is over-sensitive. Insecurities tend to emerge in social situations. Bad timing is likely when it comes to conversations, appointments, and the like. Even so, these things can strengthen your resolve to make changes. The Moon moves into your solar eleventh house this morning, stimulating a desire or need to seek out the company and acceptance of friends.
Aquarius
You may be entertaining the idea of taking a risk today, dear Aquarius, but part of you would rather not rock the boat. It may be that your inner voice is telling you that it’s not quite the right time to push forward. Take more time to consider details and only take the leap when true confidence returns. Faith in a significant other may be wavering today for some of you. This, as well, deserves further thought before taking action, as it may be a temporary feeling that resolves on its own. Events today may be stimulating insecurities or fear. You can have a difficult time enjoying either leisure time or work, as there is a sense that you have to choose one or the other, when in fact you may be able to creatively combine the two. The Moon’s move to the top of your solar chart this morning suggests that having a mission or goal, even if it’s a simple one, will improve your mood.
Pisces
Insecurities can emerge today, dear Pisces, as you wrestle with going your own way versus maintaining the status quo. Breaking out into a new path of self-expression will come across as insincere or rebellious if you’re not completely behind it. If you need more time to truly “own” it, then take that time. Others can be cranky, but try not to take on too many problems that are not your own. You might feel a little despondent, not knowing where to begin, but as the day advances, things seem to fall into place. You’ll quickly recognize the need for a mission today, even if it’s a modest one. The Moon moves into your sector of spirit this morning, and this can be an uplifting influence.

Event: Tr-Tr Sun Sqr Chi
Description: Transiting Sun Square Transiting Chiron
We can feel especially vulnerable to criticism or fear rejection now, or could struggle with a situation where we may need to humble ourselves. People or circumstances may seem to be exposing or playing on our vulnerabilities.
GEMINI STRONG
Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
SCORPIO STRONG
Intense, magnetic, penetrating perception, power to confront. Can be destructive, vengeful, jealous, overly dramatic.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
FIRE WEAK
We are not very goal-oriented right now, or motivation to pursue our goals may be waning/lacking. Changes feel overwhelming. Enthusiasm may be low, we argue less, and we think more than we take action.
EARTH WEAK
There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.
AIR STRONG
We tend to favor rational, objective thought over emotions, impulses, and feelings at this time. We are more intellectual, fair-minded, and logical in our approach, Ideas flow easily and quickly, we are more communicative and guided by principles, and also somewhat dispassionate or impersonal.
BALANCE OF MODES
CARDINAL WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on June 15th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
