For the week of June 11th thru the 18th, be sure to read your Rising Sign as well: 

Aries

Aries is ready to leave some of the emotional baggage of the previous weeks behind. Just watch, now that Mars is moving into Leo, he’s donning his best and shiniest armor, so are you. Dare to impress the world with your prowess, skill and achievements. Preen your plumage, and let your light shine. You have a good 7 weeks to prove to the world what you are capable of, regardless of any challenges or hurdles you’ll be faced with. The other thing about Mars now being in Leo is that this is about honoring your own style, and perfecting your own brand, rather than trying to fit in with someone else’s agenda, or within the expectations of a particular group. You’ve probably already been reassessing some of your associations. This could be the final straw if you’ve been compromising to much to fit in. Know that by being true to yourself and your priorities, you will make better choices moving forward. 

Taurus

Dare to step outside of your accustomed routines this weekend in order to make the most of the current opportunities. Try something new, go somewhere you’ve never been before, explore your neighborhood, take a chance outside of your usual environs. It could be just the sort of break you need to inspire and refresh your perspective. Even small breaks could make a difference right now. Especially if you are feeling at all pressured by certain obligations or responsibilities that are looming over you. In a way, you were perfectly situated to take on these responsibilities. But you might also be asking yourself, whether or not you are doing so at the expense of your own need for independence and autonomy. You are needing to breathe. So, how much are you really willing to compromise your freedom, and your own individual personal self-expression, simply because you feel obligated to? 

Gemini

For those of you who are picking up the pieces left over from the previous set of eclipses, or attempting to regain your footing after a bit of unexpected distraction, remind yourself to take your time, pace yourself, and take each day as it comes. There is something sublime and meaningful that is also trying to wend its way through your life, and you won’t want to miss the meaning and intent of the moment, by being caught up in the busyness of your everyday life. We are all being reminded to pay attention to our heart center, conscience, intuition, our inner guides. Try to fit in quiet and introspection where you can, for that is what is needed for now. If you are plagued by confusion, uncertainty or doubt, wait this period out before making important decisions, knowing that clarity will come later. Also remember, that any commitments that you are planning to make, should not feel like a life sentence. See how you can balance any promises for opportunity and achievement with your need for creative freedom. 

Cancer

When we focus on what is sitting right in front of us, there is so much we can learn in that very moment about what makes our hearts sing. Be open to possibility and see where that may bring your attention over the next few days. It can usher in a new friend, a new love, a new idea. Then pause and ask yourself, what would it take to get you back on the map? How do you need to redefine who you are in the world, and what you have to offer? There may be some reticence about going off in a new direction, even if it does mean being a truer, more authentic version of yourself. But you never know who you are going to inspire to do the same. You may lose a few followers, but then you will also gain some in the process. And perhaps even end up being at the vanguard of some coming trends. So therefore, why not be at the forefront, and lead the way in changing hearts and minds? 

Leo

Now that Mars has entered your sign, you should be getting some of your mojo back. It’s not just about the energy and the initiative that Mars wants you to get back, but also the courage to go out and do your own thing. After the sort of stuff some of you have been dealing with this is going to be a piece of cake. That being said, a lot of people have been feeling like they are standing on a threshold of change, somewhere between an old order and a new one that is trying to emerge. And some people have been trying to figure out a compromise and a transition between those things that they are committed to, and what you really, really want to do. A new reality is trying to emerge. And you, along with everyone else, are trying to figure out how you are going to evolve right along with everyone else, while not compromising your own personal brand and your image. 

Virgo

You are willing to face even a dozen challenges, to leap over a hundred obstacles. If only you knew what they were going to be. Not knowing what to expect can be exasperating. In times such as these, when you are compelled to live with a certain amount of uncertainty, you are being asked to focus on what is right in front of you. You are standing on a threshold along with everyone else. There is the which you are accustomed to doing in the past, and that which you are used to and comfortable with. And there there is this new order of things that is emerging. Should you stay with what you are familiar with and know? Or should you dare to step over that threshold into this new reality? The world is ever evolving, and your task will be finding your place in this new and growing world. That is the challenge that is awaiting you. 

Libra

If at all possible, look for opportunities to step outside of your usual routines, and do something a little different, even if it only means looking at a situation from another perspective. Not only does this afford you a much needed break, but by opening yourself up to possibility, there’s no telling what and who are going to meet once you step through that door. One thing that should also become more apparent these days, are the things and situations over which you do have control, and those that you simply do not. And sometimes stepping outside of your accustomed ways of doing things allows you to get that other perspective, that can be so helpful in these times of transition. If only because it can lead to greater understanding, acceptance and ultimately greater wholeness. Qualities that will be essential for your own evolutionary growth going forward. 

Scorpio 

Now that Mars has entered Leo, it’s time for you to step into the limelight, pick up the mantle, and show the world what you have to offer. Mars in Leo is not only Best in Show, but Pride of Place when he enters this domain, and Scorpio is being asked to own it, show it off a little, and maybe even brag about it. But it’s also positioning you in such a way that you can address what has been appearing to be something of an untenable situation. You ask yourself, should I do what my duty and sense of responsibility is telling me to do, even at the expense of my own hard won independence and freedom? Or should I resist the urge to take on a responsibility merely out of obligation, in order to live my own best life? Sometimes the answers are not necessarily this or that, or right or wrong. Sometimes the answers can lie somewhere in between. Such is the way in years of transition. But as Mars is now in Leo, over the next few weeks, it will soon become necessary to take some sort of action. And finding that middle way, may be crucial. 

Sagittarius

As your ruling planet, Jupiter, is slowing for its retrograde station on the 20th, you will begin to see your perspective shifting too. One thing that can become more obvious are those things that you so strongly believe in, and would be willing to put your back up against the wall for. When push comes to shove, what are those principles that you are most willing to stand up and defend? However, even though you are feeling this strongly there are other elements afoot, that may not be all that obvious. Things may not be all that they appear to be. So should you stand up for something and be willing to rock the boat in the process? Or should you wait until you have all the answers. Know that it’s not always about who’s right and who’s wrong Sometimes the answer is something betwixt or between. So if the path is not yet entirely clear, take some time out from your busy life to connect with yourself, so that you can hear what your heart is telling you, trusting that clarity will come when it will. 

Capricorn

The rules are changing. A threshold is being crossed, and what might have been true in the past is now being challenged. And as you see the structures of your life changing, it is also time for you to figure out how you are going to fit into this new world. Some Capricorns may already know what they want to do. But even they will be trying to figure out how to make what they do sustainable and worth their while. Whether you know what you want to do, and are just trying to figure out how you can afford to keep doing it, or are still trying to figure your life out, a part of you is anxious to get started, while another part of you is filled with a strong sense of practical responsibility. Not making the changes that are needed will make you feel as if you are stuck and unable to grow. But changing everything too quickly is not such a good idea either. Therefore look for a middle way that is both practical, and allows for the possibility of growth, allowing you to build a better foundation for the future. 

Aquarius

The Saturn/Uranus square of 2021-22 is showing us the necessity for change. Sometimes change can be ominous and scary. So part of the transition that so many are making includes confronting our own self-limiting fears and behaviors in order to be better able to adapt to an ever changing and evolving society. What these Saturn/Uranus squares are good for, are breaking down any barriers that are standing in the way of your own growth, and preventing you from building new and better structures that will serve you for years to come. They may feel threatening and scary at first. And there may be some things you will want to protect. But there will be some changes that you may in fact have been longing for. Be prepared to welcome those with open arms. For they can be a welcome opportunity to finally be able to live your own best life. 

Pisces

When Jupiter stations retrograde, as it will later this month, you will begin to see you perspective shifting as well. As a result one thing that you might become more aware of, are certain circumstances that either feel uncomfortable and vaguely unethical. That sort of feeling that makes the hair on the back of your neck practically stand on end. What these experiences are also doing, are compelling us to confront our own moral and ethical standards. But sometimes these questions are not so black and white. Sometimes things are much more subtle. Therefore it will also be wise to jump to conclusions, but to wait and see until the time that you have more information. This is especially so if you are needing to make any important decisions. This may mean having to sit with some uncertainty in the mean time, trusting that clarity will come in its own time, and in its own way.
