Forecast for June 17-30
By Cortney Litwin / Special to The Malibu Times
Change, expansion and disruption will be in the air during a series of Cancer, Capricorn and Aries influences between now and the end of June. First, a conflict may arise at the start of the week between idealism and practicality as the sun and Mercury connect with Saturn and Neptune. The sun entering Cancer on the 21st heralds the summer solstice, but a square from Uranus may prompt a change of plans. The Sun-Jupiter square on the 23rd can prompt you to take a risk on a big venture. Next, Mercury entering Cancer on the 25th-26th runs headlong into Jupiter and Uranus, which energizes innovative, far-reaching (and perhaps impractical) ideas. Just try to avoid taking extreme measures when the Sun and Mercury oppose Pluto on the 25th-27th. The full Moon eclipse in Capricorn on the 26th can intensify the already stressful tug-of-war between change and security. Finally, the Sun-Mercury conjunction in Cancer on the 28th favors heartfelt conversations-if you can keep judgment to a minimum.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
You’re ready to leap into action, but you’ll need to keep your long-term goals in mind, especially concerning your career. The full moon may prompt a change of direction as you endeavor to expand your work projects.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Your vision of where you’re headed and your role in the greater scheme of things are getting a wake-up call. It’s time to set security fears aside and take a leap of faith in realizing a long-held dream.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Networking with friends and associations can bring a moneymaking opportunity. The financial prospect that comes your way will be innovative, even brilliant, but possibly too unreliable to get off the ground.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
With all the creative energy swirling around you, it’s time to focus on accomplishing a goal pertaining to your career or home life. You’ll just need to wade through some major distractions to stay on course.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Accessing your inner guidance through dreams and meditation, while envisioning the bigger picture of your goals, will accelerate your progress. The full moon encourages you to volunteer your resources to help those in need.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
The full moon energizes romance and fires up your creativity, but you’ll need to stay flexible in the face of some changes (which can be a good thing). Your strength comes from your ability to release what’s not needed in your life.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
You’re a magnet for people who are undergoing some monumental changes, which might inspire a shift in your own work or home environment. You’ll just need to stay focused on the path that’s right for you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Your brainpower is energized now, so be on the lookout for an intriguing idea that could benefit your work. Sharing your knowledge and expertise while helping others less fortunate will bring opportunities as well.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
A powerful wave of energy is firing up your muse, as well as your earning power, so focus on launching a new creative project or revamping one that still has potential. Also, romance is sizzling but unpredictable.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Beneath your sense of control is a stick of dynamite ready to launch you into a new cycle of growth. Although this may rattle your security, it will also awaken talents that have been waiting for their turn in the limelight.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Some electrifying ideas and opportunities are headed your way, but you’ll need to stay grounded to discern the ones that don’t support your goals, dreams and values. Heed your intuition, which is especially strong now.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Playing the part of the social butterfly can bring a creative project or romantic prospect to your doorstep. Staying focused on your agenda, without getting carried away by enticing distractions, will be the challenge.
