Horoscopes
Aries
Your outlook is positive, dear Aries, perhaps a little unrealistically so this morning, but enthusiasm is what you need now. Later today, there could be some complications to deal with on communication and mechanical levels. It can be a little irritating if others are challenging your opinions or shutting down your arguments. However, with an approaching Mercury-Saturn opposition in play, as irritating as others can be, they can also wind up teaching you something useful, even if it’s just about stimulating you to think more deeply about your ideas and methods. The Full Moon tomorrow morning can bring a great idea or project to a head, but watch that you don’t succumb to a feeling of urgency today and tomorrow.
Taurus
There can be some restlessness experienced today, dear Taurus, but this feeling can sometimes lead to wonderful new ideas for making improvements to your life. In fact, you can feel quite enthusiastic about making changes, particularly in a relationship or regarding your finances now. Later today, you may be feeling quite uninhibited on an emotional level, and this feels good. Watch for some difficulties getting your message across on a verbal level, however. Challenges you face now, particularly on a financial or emotional level, will eventually help you to redefine your goals or path, particularly in relation to others. Misunderstandings occurring now can lead to clarifications that are actually quite helpful.
Gemini
There can be enthusiasm building today, dear Gemini. While you can be up and down, there is generally good energy for learning and clarifying your thoughts, ideas, and plans. Even if there can be criticisms or restrictions to deal with, there is a lot to learn through disagreements. You don’t have to agree with someone to get to a clearer position in your own mind, and that is the nature of the Mercury-Saturn opposition that is approaching. There can be lessons about moderation or practicality happening now. As well, you’re in a good position to show others the brighter side of a situation.
Cancer
Enthusiasm for a project, your work, or a health program is building today, dear Cancer. While expectations can lead to some ups and downs, this is a generally good time for seeing possibilities. There can be new methods or ideas for making improvements to your daily life. There can be some serious thinking later today. Mind your energy levels and watch for overdoing things to the point of exhaustion. If problems are weighing heavily on your mind, consider sharing some of the weight with someone you trust.
Leo
The Moon in Sagittarius today is a little bit unstable, but nevertheless enthusiastic, dear Leo. Moods can be up and down, but you can also be quite spirited about possible projects. An upcoming Mercury-Saturn opposition can point to heavier thinking, criticism, or defensiveness. However, if you let your guard down a little, you can certainly learn something from different points of view, as irritating as they may be in the moment. With oppositions, we tend to experience extremes before moving toward a middle ground. The realities of an endeavor, particularly regarding feasibility and time/energy restrictions, can make themselves known now. There is nevertheless good energy for seeing solutions and gaining new insight into problem areas.
Virgo
There is a stronger desire to make improvements on the home front or within yourself today, dear Virgo. Personal matters grab your attention. While you’re not big on taking risks at the moment, it’s a time for going a little bigger in terms of ideas and possibilities for positive changes, attitudes, and organization. As we move towards a Mercury challenge, and particularly because Mercury is your ruler, there can be some touchiness, nervous tension, and defensiveness as the day advances. While responsibilities and worries can weigh heavily on you, challenges and disagreements can also set off some deeper, useful thinking that eventually leads to more clarity. You’re moving towards a better understanding of what you believe, want, and need.
Libra
There can be ups and downs today, dear Libra, but mostly optimistic and enthusiastic energy is with you. The key to keeping things on an even keel is to avoid expecting too much, too soon. There can be some good conversations and connections on one-to-one levels today. Even so, there is a tendency to disagree or find yourself at odds with someone later today with an approaching Mercury-Saturn opposition across your communications sector. Aim to take lessons from slowdowns, blocks, and even criticism. Although all of these things can be frustrating and feel unnecessary in the moment, good ideas or clarifications can come out of them.
Scorpio
You are opening your mind to possibilities today, dear Scorpio, particularly regarding money and business matters. An untapped resource can reveal itself to you in the next few days, and this can come into your life as a personal gain. There is cantankerous energy with us now, but keep in mind that people who challenge you can actually contribute something important to your life, even if they only serve to jumpstart your own thinking processes as you defend your point of view, or if you come to a firm conclusion that you were already leaning towards. Either way, more clarity can come to your own thoughts and ideas through your interactions. Try to avoid getting too caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong, enjoying the learning experience instead.
Sagittarius
Value can be found today and tomorrow in that which makes you different than others, dear Sagittarius, although there can be some frustration involved! You are not at your most decisive today, and it’s not helping much that there are a lot of options available to you. You might consider focusing on those things you truly know need your attention rather than waste too much time concerned about those things you can’t change or control right now. Be open to suggestions and recommendations for improving your life, and if they’re not forthcoming, dream up some for yourself. The Moon is reaching Full in your sign, exact tomorrow morning, and this can bring strong emotions to the surface. It can also bring you more visibility.
Capricorn
There can be a real desire to take some time for yourself today, dear Capricorn, with the Moon in your privacy sector all day. Even the strongest and most urgent of desires with you now can seem a little overdone later – such is the energy of the day. Plans or ideas might meet with resistance later today, particularly related to work, although personal matters can be involved as well, with Mercury and Saturn moving towards an opposition. Taking a step back from a problem or a small break before returning to it can help lessen “brain drain” and give you a new perspective. Discovering past errors is a real possibility now, but you can also get a chance to learn from mistakes in order to strengthen new and future efforts.
Aquarius
You can experience building enthusiasm for new projects, long-term goals, and/or friendships today, dear Aquarius. There can be some ups and downs, however, and mistakes made tend to come from overoptimism. Even so, excitement about possibilities can be good for you now. Friends can require more attention or support than usual today and tomorrow, and big ideas can be floating around. A Full Moon is approaching, and so is a Mercury-Saturn opposition. These influences can stimulate strong emotions as well as tension over differences of opinion. While others may seem a little negative or critical, they might end up nudging you towards seeing a matter in more practical terms, and this can be useful. Learning from differences should be the goal now.
Pisces
There can be excitement or enthusiasm building surrounding a long-term goal, career matter, or reputation issue now, dear Pisces. You may be learning new things and this contributes to a feeling that you’re growing and improving. Decision making, however, can be a little strained now, largely because there are so many possibilities to consider. The key to success is not necessarily to focus your energies just yet, but to gather information and take more time to arrive at conclusions. Whether you want it or not, advice or criticism can come from others now. While it can be irritating in the moment, the thinking that it stimulates can ultimately be very useful, if only to bring more clarity to your own needs and ideas.

We may be looking to dominate or to assert our independence if we feel trapped, restricted, or otherwise limited. Impulsiveness can be a problem. With creativity, we may be able to break through obstacles in unusual and unique ways.
Strong Signs, Elements, and Modes
GEMINI STRONG
Agile, versatile, inquisitive, flowing, conversational, airy, many ideas. Can be volatile, superficial, changeable, restless and inconsistent.
SAGITTARIUS STRONG
Inspiring, broad vision, enthusiastic, goal seeking, truthful, adventurous. Can be reckless, unrestrained, tactless.
BALANCE OF ELEMENTS
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.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
MUTABLE STRONG
We are flexible, adaptable, willing, open to change, and possibly flighty or nervous.
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on June 19th:
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).
