Horoscopes
Aries

Emotional energy runs high today, dear Aries, and it’s important not to invest too much into what’s said or announced. It can be challenging to direct excess mental energy just for now. Your best bet is to give yourself time to process any news or new information coming your way. There can be some second-guessing now, and possibly some mechanical problems or misunderstandings to deal with. Errors tend to have their root in communication problems today. Try not to let the opinions of others dictate your next move. Look for the lesson from your experiences, even if you initially consider it to be unjust. Tonight, you’re likely to feel a strong desire to start fresh, to get in touch with family, and to focus on domestic matters. You are entering a month-long cycle in which collecting your thoughts, reconnecting with your needs for nurture and inner peace, and enjoying quiet activities figure strongly. Your social life will continue to bring some excitement into your life, but your heart is where your home is in the coming weeks.
Taurus

A tendency toward deeper thinking is with you today, dear Taurus, which can be productive if you make the most of it. However, with the energies present today, it can be a little challenging seeing things clearly. There may be a negative slant to conversations now – complaints and poor feedback are real possibilities – so be extra aware of your tone of voice and what you are talking about today. Feelings are more complex and complicated than usual. Try to avoid getting into arguments over trivial matters, and getting upset over some small detail. This morning’s Full Moon can bring an intimate or financial matter to a head. The Sun’s move into your communications sector this evening starts a month-long cycle in which you are especially curious and open to learning, communicating, and connecting.
Gemini

Emotions can be very up and down today, dear Gemini. People in your life could be unduly critical, too quick to call you out, or frustratingly unresponsive. Even so, today’s Full Moon can ultimately open up communications, pull up buried feelings or emotions, or lead to a turning point in a close relationship. Work on solutions today for best results, as they’re not as out of reach as you may think. You’re likely to have some important and seemingly sudden insight into the past, and how to put certain elements of your past behind you – those that are holding you back from personal growth. The Sun moves out of your sign this evening and will spend the coming month in your resources sector. This is a time for paying special attention to matters of finance, personal possessions, and business.
Cancer

Interactions with those close to you can be eye-opening, dear Cancer, but could also be rather unstable and volatile at the moment. It may be better to turn your attention to a problem outside of yourself rather than leaving personal matters open and vulnerable to misinterpretation. You could be struggling with just how involved you want to become today, and this can be puzzling to those around you, as you turn from passionate to bored and back again. Tensions can arise that revolve around looming deadlines, health matters, or scheduling issues. Dealings with others can be tricky for the time being. However, this is a very strong time for putting an outlived attitude or situation behind you. The Sun moves into your sign this evening, bringing a sense of newness to your life. The month ahead is strong for personal initiatives. You are making a stronger impression than usual.
Leo

Avoid unnecessary stress, dear Leo, which is far too “available” with today’s diverse and rather disruptive energies, but take note of what emerges now. A creative project or romantic relationship can reach a turning point. New information emerges. Avoid complaining unless it’s something that truly needs addressing, as conversations can too easily take a bad turn today. Work quietly on solutions for best results. It’s important to look at the big picture today and to shrug off life’s minor inconveniences and challenges. You’ll feel better and others will appreciate your resilience. The Sun moves into your privacy sector this evening, and you begin a month-long solar cycle in which you experience an increased need for rest, privacy, and a break from overly competitive energies.
Virgo

While you’re generally feeling quite positive, you could find that doubts arise today, dear Virgo. Others may be wrapped up in their own problems and you can be quite sensitive to the words people select to express themselves. The Full Moon this morning can point to an epiphany or culmination related to work or home life. Feeling a little overwhelmed with decisions and things to do can figure strongly now. If you choose to express discontent today, choose your words carefully. There can be difficulties balancing personal and professional spheres of your life, but it’s something that’s quite necessary for your peace of mind. The Sun enters your solar eleventh house this evening, and there is a greater shift away from a focus on performance towards seeking out a more well-rounded lifestyle.
Libra

With a Full Moon activating your communications sector today, dear Libra, and a Mercury-Saturn opposition here as well, there can be some chaotic situations or feelings to deal with. It will be important to avoid off the cuff remarks, as it is too easy to misinterpret things today. The best way to deal with this energy, which tends to repeat itself rather frequently these days, is to look for the lesson in negative feedback, delays, and obstacles, which can ultimately get you into a strengthened and clearer position. The trick will be to avoid taking things too personally. The Full Moon can bring a project or commuting matter to a head. The Sun’s move to the top of your solar chart this evening starts a month-long cycle in which goal setting and performance figure strongly.
Scorpio

Energies and emotions can be very up and down today, dear Scorpio. A love or financial matter can reach a head, but the emotionalism involved can be a little too weighty to see things clearly just for now. Wait things out before drawing big conclusions. While people around you can be a little difficult, it may be better to conserve your energy than to argue a point or push an issue. People do, however, have something to offer you, even if it’s in an unattractive package! Feedback may not be especially pleasant, but can ultimately help you to make improvements. The Sun moves into a comfortable relationship with your sign this evening and will transit your adventure sector for the coming month. During this energetic cycle, you are especially interested in the big picture and this can lift your spirits.
Sagittarius

A Full Moon occurs in your sign this morning, dear Sagittarius. Last month’s Full Moon was also in Sagittarius, and this Blue Moon pulls up more emotions, possibly bringing a matter to conclusion or to a turning point. The day’s energies are on the chaotic side. It can be difficult to express yourself clearly, as much as you’d like to make an announcement. People may not be responding in the ways you had anticipated. Take a step back before drawing conclusions or making statements that you may later regret. For the coming month, attention to your ability to share and blend with others, particularly partners, comes into focus. You may need to take charge of financial matters and resources that are shared with a partner, or that come from sources beyond your personal income. You are drawn to those things you feel deeply about, and a more passionate attitude towards life in general emerges.
Capricorn

A lot is going on beneath the surface of things right now, dear Capricorn. A Full Moon in your privacy sector happens this morning, around the same time that a Mercury-Saturn opposition occurs along the same axis. This can pull up complicated feelings. You are likely to encounter some resistance or blocks to your plans and ideas, yet you could be bursting with ideas and desires. However, consider whether your own insecurities, fears, or even feelings of guilt are at play. The solar twelfth house is a sector of self-undoing after all – watch for shooting yourself in the foot. A secret or hidden information can emerge for some of you. This evening, a new solar cycle begins. This month-long influence brings your attention to relationships, particularly of the one-on-one variety. Your increased ability to compromise and negotiate brings rewards. Sometimes this cycle is about honoring those who count in your life, and it’s the best time of the year for you to do just that.
Aquarius

You may be battling tension, stress, or a feeling that someone is against you in the first half of the day, dear Aquarius. You might feel that you’ve done far more than your share in a friendship without the other person meeting you halfway or giving back enough. There can be an important revelation or turning point in a relationship, or for some of you, a project, as the Moon reaches Full this morning. Criticisms can be irritating, but they may also stimulate clearer thinking and stronger convictions. This evening, a new solar cycle begins and will be in effect for the coming month. Taking charge of your work and health routines is vital now as new information arrives that stimulates you to lead a more organized, productive, and healthier lifestyle. You take more pride in your work during this cycle.
Pisces

This is a time for reflecting in order to understand where you’re headed or want to go, dear Pisces. In the first half of the day, there is a tendency for your mind to turn to the past, especially when it comes to love and relationships. Something might suddenly come to mind that seems wrong or unfinished, and this might nag at you. There can be some stalling experienced having to do with household endeavors, career, and personal plans. Life feels a little chaotic. Others may not be as supportive as you’d like them to be. This evening, you begin a month-long cycle in which there is a great emphasis on pleasure, creative self-expression, romance, and entertainment. Even so, you are called to task today, with little chance of escaping your duties! Aim to fill your responsibilities in order to get them behind you sooner.

CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
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.
BALANCE OF MODES
FIXED WEAK
We may be open to change but may not have much follow-through.
LUNAR PHASE: FULL MOON
Moon 180 to 135 degrees behind the Sun.
We are concerned mainly with the nature of relationships and are made aware of recent imbalances. Something can come to fruition. Our concern is not limited to personal relationships, but relationships of all kinds. Our cards are on the table.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on June 20th:
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).
