Forecast for June 14-27
The new moon in Gemini on the 14th boosts versatility, brainpower and travel. However, you may need to restate or rethink communications (the “take two” syndrome) during retrograde Mercury June 15-July 8, especially since Mercury is traveling through the communicative sign of Gemini. Be sure to double-check paperwork, reservations and contracts. On the other hand, retrograde Mercury is an excellent time for introspection. Additional communication and travel challenges arise during an intense Sun-Pluto clash on the 18th-19th. As for love, warm-hearted Venus in Leo dances with gregarious Jupiter on the 19th, a terrific time for romantic trysts. Moreover, cozy interactions are enhanced by the sun moving into homey Cancer during the summer solstice on the 21st, and Mars moving into cuddly Taurus on the 24th. However, a clash between Neptune and Saturn-ideals and practicality-can challenge social exchanges on the 25th.
