Horoscopes
Aries
There is greater love for family and/or personal time and domestic life these days, dear Aries. You tend to protect your heart more than usual at this time, and you might often seek out, and even cling to, secure and familiar people or situations. Today, if you’re feeling a little restless, your instincts could be to take little risks or to stir up a bit of trouble. Interactions can be stimulating but perhaps a little too competitive for your liking this morning. As the day advances, you’re less bothered by little problems and differences. A Jupiter-Pluto aspect comes into influence and stimulates a desire to grow, improve, and succeed. Priorities become clearer.
Taurus
This morning, there can be heightened sensitivity to relationship problems, dear Taurus, and much impatience with mechanical things, slow responses, and other small delays. People can very easily grate on your nerves. You can choose to react to what feels like insensitive comments, or you can choose to rise above them. As the day advances, however, it becomes easier and easier to put small differences aside and to see potentials, priorities, and the bigger picture. Pouring yourself into a creative project or hobby can be healing.
Gemini
This morning, you may be feeling conflicted as part of you wants to especially productive, dear Gemini, and another part would prefer to bask and enjoy the moment. Some of you could be tempted to buy something expensive, splurge, or otherwise live beyond your means. It can be hard to have healthy conversations when both parties are trying to get their way. Ego conflicts can ensue, and it can be too easy to lose sight of what’s truly important. However, as the day advances, a Jupiter-Pluto aspect comes into influence, reminding you of more empowering goals. This is a good time for bonding with people you love and for home improvements.
Cancer
Watch for worries about relationships eating away at the happiness of your day, dear Cancer. Love is easy to attract, but it can be difficult to get the timing right. Watch for impatience or impulsiveness, particularly on a social level. You may need to take a look at the hard issues now so that you can take action on them later. You may not be feeling especially supported at the moment. Dissatisfaction is likely right now, but this discomfort can motivate you to make improvements. Tension irons out as the day advances. Certainly by tonight, you’re ready to move on.
Leo
There may be some resentful feelings this morning if you feel put upon or pressured to make a decision, dear Leo. For some of you, vague tensions leave you feeling restless until you get in touch with your true desires. You could feel that others are trying to take the reins while you remain in a state of limbo. You need more time to sort out your needs and wants. Tensions today tend to come from a feeling of pressure to push a matter that’s not ready to go. Hot-headedness only leads to more trouble. Moodiness of family members or troubles on the home front are quite possible now.
Virgo
You could have a hard time deciding whether you want space or attention today, dear Virgo, with a Venus-Mars challenge this morning. In truth, you may not be completely content with either. Sharp, impatient wording should be avoided, as it can really make waves now. It can be all too easy to get worked up over minor issues. If others are not as warm as you might like them to be, do your best to set feelings aside and instead concentrate on those things that you can control, change, and improve. In fact, it’s a good time to solve problems in your work or to discover new or innovative methods.
Libra
There can be social opportunities through your work or connections these days, dear Libra, although today, you might feel a little put off by someone who is trying to push an issue with you, or by poor timing in general. Watch for impatience that can lead you to seek out expensive or indulgent things and activities. Consciously try to slow down and tame your desires, which can seem very immediate and urgent now but may not seem as important later. The second half of the day plays more in your favor. There is good energy for coming to agreements with others, and, with less pressure, timing issues become a problem of the past.
Scorpio
If you’re harboring frustrations about a relationship, dear Scorpio, these can emerge in small but disruptive ways today. You can be on the offensive and on the defensive at different times today, but pushing matters will only lead to further tension and possible discouragement. It can be difficult to satisfy ego desires this morning. Wait it out and avoid pushing matters that need more time to unfold naturally. Try to keep things straightforward and aboveboard so that there are no resentments or regrets. You’ll be coming out of your shell in the coming days, starting tonight.
Sagittarius
Early today is not the steadiest of times for your emotions, feelings, and affections, dear Sagittarius. Money matters may be problematic for some of you. You might also struggle with whether to tend to others’ needs or your own, when a compromise is truly the solution. As the day advances, you feel stronger and more focused. Your ruler, Jupiter, moves into harmony with Pluto, stimulating your ambitions and deepening your faith and confidence, particularly in material pursuits.
Capricorn
Confrontations early today tend to be fruitless, dear Capricorn, rather than lead to improvements. Mildly difficult energies now seem to get in the way of healthy, open relationship patterns, but if you aim to learn from the differences that seem so glaring now, you can discover problem areas that need extra attention. Stubbornness is likely now but should be avoided. Tame impatience, which can lead to messy situations. As the day moves forward, you’re inclined to lift your thoughts to more important goals and ambitions. Tonight and tomorrow are good for personal appeal, magnetism, and persuasion. You’re also in good shape when it comes to matters related to publishing and promotion.
Aquarius
Unrest with friends and lovers is quite possible this morning, dear Aquarius. People are focusing too much on what they want while neglecting to see the other side. Exacerbating problems is some confusion about true desires and needs. Be patient with others, but don’t get pulled into game playing. It will sap you of energy that you can better use elsewhere. As well, treat others with care, while doing the same with yourself. Priorities become far clearer as the day progresses. A Jupiter-Pluto trine is entering the picture, and this can stimulate a strong desire to grow, improve, and transform your life in positive ways. As these rather lofty goals come into focus, the smaller conflicts and problems of the morning begin to fall out of your vision.
Pisces
Venus is in a playful area of your chart and Mars in your adventure sector, dear Pisces, and while these sectors complement one another, a challenging aspect between the two planets occurs this morning, pointing to some tension. You can feel restless, uncertain where to direct excess energy. You feel pulled in different directions, with demands from others either too much or strong but unclear. There can be pouting, drama, and all sorts of tricky relationship maneuvers going on now. Avoid letting these things drain you. Impatience won’t move things forward if they’re not ready to go in that direction. As the day advances, conflicts seem less pressing as priorities come into strong focus. The Moon enters your sign tonight, bringing you more visibility and clarity.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes, and Lunar Phase
CANCER STRONG
Nurturing, protective, tenacious, emotional sensitive, watery, strong roots. Can be overly protective, unwilling to let go, timid, reclusive.
AQUARIUS STRONG
Humanitarian, innovative, group conscious, progressive, serving others. Can be rebellious, eccentric, aloof, emotionally superficial, overly extroverted.
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.
WATER STRONG
We are more compassionate, emotional, and intuitive than usual, and we may react emotionally to situations, possibly at the expense of logic or practicality.
BALANCE OF MODES
The modes are balanced.
LUNAR PHASE: DISSEMINATING
Moon 135 to 90 degrees behind the Sun.
Sharing our knowledge with the world is a major motivation at this stage. We believe we have gained much knowledge and wisdom through our experiences, and want to ensure others have the benefit as well.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on June 24th:
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).
