Above it All

Before 05/30/2023 to After 06/29/2023

Your spiritual life is emphasized during this two-year transit, as is your interest in philosophy, world religions and all matters regarding your soul. You become more detached in your relation to the 'real world' because you are much more interested in exploring realms that you cannot see. You feel very connected to other people, but on an invisible, emotional plane. Your compassion is aroused, and you strive to lend help wherever it's needed, from people in your neighborhood to folks across the world who are affected by any type of disaster. Faith increases as you open yourself up to the amazing web that connects everyone to everyone else. This invisible network takes your breath away and helps you to clarify your own place in the world; not the world of ambition, but the more important spiritual world that you can't see but that is everywhere. You desire knowledge, but not factual knowledge: Instead, you want to explore faith and spirit, and how they interact with religion. Your mind and heart are so involved with the unseen that you aren't vulnerable to the ego games that usually go on at work or in life. You're above all that!

Bouncing Off The Walls

Before 05/30/2023 to Jun 5

There's no corking you during this period; your energy is exuberant, bouncy and full of fun. You'll have difficulty containing your enthusiasm and can-do spirit. Physically, you feel as if you can do anything, and you're tempted to try. In fact, you can greatly increase your strength and endurance at this time; your body will respond readily to increased exercise, so go ahead and add another weight or jog an extra mile. But there's still the possibility that you'll overdo it, so don't take it too far -- even though there's a little voice inside you saying 'Of course you can!' Ambition is triggered at this time, and your job will be a wonderful place to focus that surge of energy. Not only are you feeling strong, effective and focused, but you are forward-looking, confident and optimistic about the future. You can act decisively, and projects that you put into action now will have excellent results. You'll have so much energy that you'll put in long, hard days at work and still have enough left over to go out dancing at night. Spread the buzz around a little bit, and enjoy the good times as well as the hard work you'll be producing now.

Take Some Down Time

From May 30 to Jun 3 | Exact: Jun 2, 2023

These few weeks offer the perfect opportunity to reach out to someone you love, whether it's a friend, a family member or someone cute and special. Your ego has taken a back seat to your sympathetic side, and you're all ears for others' concerns, problems and thoughts in general. Also, you just want to connect and have fun with the people you love best. You're not too worried about being the center of attention now, and you're all about enjoying the people around you, so you'll be a favorite at work, parties and other get-togethers, because you're such a great audience! You're listening and tuning in well, and you're really demonstrating how much you appreciate your friends and coworkers. You're feeling much more helpful than usual, too; you might stay late at work to finish things up or do some extra housework to make it that much nicer for everyone. Just make sure that you don't start patting yourself on the back too much for your newfound compassion and helpful energy! This transit is relatively short, after all. Just do your good works and don't expect anyone's admiration or thanks -- especially not your own -- and you'll be fine.

The Eye of the Beholder

From Jun 2 to Jun 4 | Exact: Jun 4, 2023

In the best of all possible worlds, you could take a vacation this week and do nothing but enjoy yourself. You feel relaxed, happy and able to entertain yourself with your favorite creative projects, for which you'll have many inspirations this week. You're attracted to things of beauty, and remember, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Notice the flowers, gardens and other things of natural beauty that are all around you. This is the perfect time to surround yourself with pleasant smells, sounds and sights, and also to show off your own good looks. You're putting out great vibes like pheromones, and everyone around you -- friends, coworkers, even perfect strangers -- is taking notice. They're also taking notice of your generosity, and they'll want to return the favor in kind. You'll easily be able to express affection and warmth this week, and there's no harm in indulging in it with one you love. Let your honey know how you feel about them, or at least call up someone in your family or get together with a friend for dinner. And don't forget to hug your dog! The kind of sweet energy that's surrounding you now was made to be spread around.

Making Relationships Count

From Jun 8 to Jun 10 | Exact: Jun 9, 2023

Your emotions and your passions are running in parallel this week, and all relationships are highlighted. Established relationships can get much deeper during this period, and new ones can progress with amazing speed and intensity. You may meet someone new who really intrigues you, or step up an existing relationship to the next level in a way that thrills you both. You're also good now at lending not only an ear to a friend in need, but lending your advice as well. You might tell them something they don't want to hear, but ultimately your perspective will be for the best. Just use your natural charm to help smooth the lesson. In these various ways, this could be a somewhat uncomfortable period, but it will be an interesting one in any case -- and a passionate one, too! Your ability to get straight to the point now makes you a surprising and compelling force in anyone's life, be it your friends, your loved ones or that special someone. You might get into intense discussions that make both of you uncomfortable as you face the deepest, darkest corners of your personalities, but the experience will ultimately be both enlightening and fulfilling.

Mercury trine Jupiter

Funny and Kind

From Jun 9 to Jun 10 | Exact: Jun 10, 2023

Lively conversation will be your M.O. this week, and one that will get you far. You'll charm others with your gallant ways and inspired confidence, which somehow seem to encourage others and increase their own optimism level, too. You are truly able to communicate your good will and positive intentions in such a way as to inspire everyone around you, and thus your positivity radiates out far beyond your personal circle. You speak with conviction now, commanding attention and elevating the purpose and integrity of everything you touch. You have a way with words and your natural teaching ability is highlighted this week, so don't hesitate to take on a mentoring role to a younger or more inexperienced person. Somehow your humorous side is activated under this influence, enabling you to see things in a funny new way that you haven't noticed before. Even people who never have before are suddenly appreciating your jokes! You feel a lot of mental freedom this week, traveling far in your mind if not in body; in fact, this is an outstanding time to travel, because your curiosity is aroused and your ability to connect with others is increased.

Energy, Effectively Applied

From Jun 11 to Jun 14 | Exact: Jun 12, 2023

Creating stability is your forte during this three-week transit. You're not expecting miracles, at work or at home; you know it's going to take some disciplined effort to bring about the things you're working toward. And right now, you're ready and willing to put in that effort, to the best of your abilities. You'll work carefully on a project or in reaching out to a prospective client, and you'll impress your boss and other associates with your steady, sensible approach. Your friends may come to you now for advice, because you're putting out the vibe that you've got a good head on your shoulders. At home, you'll keep the house clean and the checkbook balanced, and you'll feel calm and satisfied with the work you've done. Your physical energy is readily available to you, and you're probably not feeling nervous or excitable. Instead, you're just calm, steady, ready to take what comes and deal with it in an effective way. Getting out for regular exercise makes you feel wonderful now, so this is an excellent time to vary and improve your usual fitness routine. You'll be a model of focus and productivity at work, too. Energy, effectively applied, is the key right now.

TLC

From Jun 11 to Jun 13 | Exact: Jun 13, 2023

Work may be out the window this week, but that's okay -- you're in a good mood regardless. You're feeling dreamy and spiritual, connected to everyone around you. Your loved ones take on special significance now, and you might get in touch all over again with how much you care about them and why. Your creativity is running strong now, so this could be a really productive period. If not, don't expect too much of yourself. You're more into daydreams than you are reality, which can help you tune in to other people at a deeper level than usual -- your intuition is humming now in a way that it doesn't usually. But you also might be reading ideas that aren't really there -- pure products of your own imagination. If an important issue comes up with a friend or at work, make sure you check with the other people involved before you make any assumptions, because it's very possible that you've completely misread the situation. But this transit isn't about trouble, so even if that happens, it probably won't be a big deal. Look out for new friends or even sweethearts at this time; a relationship could begin now that's special to you, or at least fun in the moment.

Ahead of Your Time

From Jun 12 to Jun 14 | Exact: Jun 13, 2023

Usually, you go through life trying to get along with the people around you. To whatever extent, you avoid rocking the boat, at work or at home. But you can't keep quiet all the time! Your instincts now are leading you in new directions, and instead of talking yourself out of your strange new urges, you should follow them. What could it hurt, in the long run? As long as you don't do anything too drastic, it's okay to begin a new, more interesting project at work, or to suggest that instead of going out for Chinese food like usual, you and your friends try something more exotic. Anything new you try at this time is likely to be cutting-edge and forward-thinking. Will it prove to be long-lasting? Who knows, but one thing is sure -- if your ideas do come to fruition, people will say later that you were way ahead of your time! Pay attention to flashes of inspiration you receive now, as they may be more important than you realize. A new solution to an old problem could occur to you, or an idea or invention so innovative and perfect that you'll be the envy of others. Enjoy this brief period of liberation and freedom; learn all you can and indulge your curiosity.

Digging Into the Unknown

From Jun 12 to Jun 13 | Exact: Jun 13, 2023

You're an unstoppable mental force this week. There's no task you can't conquer, no concept you can't probe to its very core. Your powers of observation and persuasion are at a peak now, something you can decidedly use to your advantage. When you talk, people listen. When you ask for something, you get it. When you try to find something, you succeed. Your mind is acute and your ability to analyze a situation or a person can't be beat. Deep conversations with friends or a romantic partner will move your relationship to a more meaningful and intimate place, for not only are you able to perceive and identify psychological processes, you also notice and pick up on small clues and details, understanding their meaning and weaving them into the bigger picture. In general, this is an excellent time to probe into mysteries or other things unseen. You can discern much more easily than usual what's true and what's false, a valuable skill when working with concepts that can't be proven or disproven by usual methods.

Sun trine Sun

Smooth Sailing

From Jun 17 to Jun 19 | Exact: Jun 18, 2023

You're feeling optimistic and energetic, confident and self-assured. With all this positive energy, it's a great time to connect with other people -- friends, family, coworkers -- and share your unique brand of personal style and warmth. You're feeling generous and outgoing, more willing than usual to overlook other people's faults in favor of their better qualities. You encourage them to throw their ideas into the hat, and they'll really appreciate that. They'll also want to return the favor! This is a period of mutual support all the way around, from your personal life to your work and social interactions. Your contributions are recognized and your lead acknowledged; by the same token, you are easily able to recognize and follow others. You're feeling accepting of yourself, warts and all, and that's why you're so able to view everyone around you with such a fair and open mind. Things should flow smoothly for you during this week or two, so it is an excellent time to give your projects a little extra push, to get ahead for the darker days that must inevitably come. Right now, enjoy the ease with which your life flows. It's smooth sailing!

Mercury trine Venus

Favorable Connections

From Jun 18 to Jun 18

You may find yourself feeling very affectionate this week, and particularly keen on expressing your feelings of warmth to the object of your affection. It's very likely that your declaration of love will be welcome and that it will lead to a good outcome, so be imaginative and creative when you communicate your warm feelings. Fortunately, your ability to express yourself is not limited to romantic gestures and proclamations. You thrive in all social situations, easily connecting with friends old and new, so this is an excellent time to throw a party and to accept all invitations that come your way. Lectures, discussions and music and art events are all highly interesting under this influence. Even business contacts are favored now, because not only are you thinking clearly, you have everyone's best interests in mind. Your selfless attitude enables you to create agreements and contracts that end up being favorable for all parties involved. You notice your immediate environment more than usual now and you can make quick, minor adjustments that improve the energy flow and appearance of your home and workplace.

The Next Level

From Jun 20 to Jun 21

Relationships are on your mind this week. Good news -- you're in touch with both your needs and theirs, and you're serious about wanting to make sure that everyone has what they need to feel satisfied and well taken care of. At work, this is a good time to go forward with a new associate, because you're coming across to them as a great bet -- you're calm, competent and secure, and they can see that. They know you're going to cross all your Ts and dot all your Is, and that's important to them. At home, you're able to make sane decisions about your personal life as well. This period isn't necessarily about strengthening the relationships you already have, though; it's about making good decisions regarding whether to continue things or not, so if either your love affair or your business relationship isn't living up to your expectations or theirs, now is a good time to say goodbye. You'll be able to get out of it with a minimum of fuss, and with good feelings left over on both sides. And if you decide to continue things, you'll know you're doing so based on a wonderful foundation of having considered things carefully and found them to be in great working order.

Intellectual Breakthroughs

From Jun 22 to Jun 23 | Exact: Jun 23, 2023

Your mind is lighting up with interesting insights and inspired visions. You feel more mentally alive and intellectually focused than you have in a long time, because this influence comes around only twice a year, and usually marks an exciting period when you move a lot of information around in new and innovative ways. Curious and always seeking a new way of seeing things, you're able this week to create fascinating connections and bring together details and theories in a refreshing vision, describing vivid detail in terms of an overarching structure. This is an excellent time to brainstorm with others. You'll create a lightning rod of ideas, enticing everyone to think outside the box and come up with fresh new concepts -- which will in turn lead to more questions and other new ideas, in a session that will create many suggestions and possibilities. Later, you can sort through them and decide which ones are practical. Today, your mission is to inspire creative thought in yourself and others, something that you'll do with excitement and aplomb.

Communicator Extraordinaire

From Jun 25 to Jun 25

All systems are a go with this excellent, mentally stimulating influence. Your mind races, your writing flows and you speak with conviction and authority. Others listen when you talk. Utilize this time to schedule important meetings and conferences, because you'll be so effective in expressing your ideas and thought processes that you'll have everyone engaged and contributing their own ideas, which you easily handle and incorporate. Others understand you, and you're able to grasp what they're trying to say, even if they don't state their position clearly. You ask the right questions and hear the correct clues, so you're able to discern their thought processes. Your physical coordination improves along with your logic and mentality. This is an excellent time to practice word games and logic puzzles, as well as being physically active, which is a necessity if you're going to sleep well at night! Otherwise, your mind may be joyfully spinning with all the great ideas and concepts rolling around up there in your brain.

Unpredictable Energy

From Jun 27 to After 06/29/2023 | Exact: Jun 28, 2023

If there's some exciting event or project that you've been wanting to try, now's the time! You've got a yen for adventure and your courage and drive are both amped up, making you primed for some excitement. Whether it's at work, at home or in your relationship with your honey, now's the time to try something new, even if it's not your usual thing. No, especially if it's not! You should be pushing the boundaries now, not maintaining the existing ones. You're all about challenging the status quo, but unlike other, more unstable periods of life, you'll do it in a relatively gentle way. You don't have to worry about burning bridges now; all you really have to worry about under the current influence is what you're going to wear to tonight's party/softball game/date with your honey! Whatever you do, keep it active, and wear good shoes, because unexpected opportunities can come up at a moment's notice, and you want to be ready. Don't get stuck at home in your PJs; get out on the town, ready to live it up with anyone who's willing to join you! At work you'll be the life of the party around the water cooler, and you'll bring fresh energy and insight to existing projects.

Faith Grows Deeper

Before 05/30/2023 to After 06/29/2023

Your optimism and enthusiasm will increase during the course of this two-to-three-year period. Your thirst for wisdom will grow and you'll be motivated to delve deeply into far-reaching subjects; you may even take on a course of learning that can change your life, deepening your understanding of the universe and the natural world. Your faith will be tested but the outcome will be positive -- that is, by the end of all this searching, you'll be very clear and articulate about your understanding of the meaning of life. This will lead to feeling a broader connection with humanity as a whole, and your actions won't be selfishly motivated; instead, you'll want to help others in the most practical way possible. Expanding your resources is key at this time. You'll become very certain of what you know. Don't become so arrogant and confident of yourself that you forget how to listen to others for suggestions and advice; self-righteousness is to be guarded against at this time. That said, however, this is an excellent time to publicize yourself and to broadcast information that leads to improved conditions for those less fortunate than you.

Higher Standards

From Jun 1 to Jun 4 | Exact: Jun 4, 2023

This is a serious week, one in which you'll instinctively review your life, your goals and your past actions. You want to make sure everything is up to your high standards, so you will tend to be critical, looking for the negative instead of the positive. Although you may lack your usual physical energy, keep up your exercise routine. You're more focused now than usual, and will readily tackle mundane tasks that you ordinarily avoid, like balancing your checkbook or tying up loose ends on your projects at work. More than anything, you're concerned about the quality of your work. You hate to squander your energy, so you make a point to work hard and do a good job, and the results of your labor will be practical, high-quality and long-lasting. Working by yourself is more effective than trying to work with others. Business meetings are fine, because you're able to articulate goals and formulate a plan for achieving them, but social calls might be out for the time being, until you're more in the mood for fun and relaxation again. For now, it's good to buckle down, work hard and make sure you are still on the right path. You can have fun next week!

Planning in Detail

From Jun 17 to Jun 18 | Exact: Jun 18, 2023

Dust off your old notes and projects and bring them out into the light of day. There may be more in those old documents than you realize, and now's the best time to comb through your old communications and reports. The wisdom of the past can be brought forward to the present. You'll find that you have more discipline when it comes to your thinking, writing and speaking this week than usual, so you'll be able to get a lot done in those areas. Serious communication is favored, so if there's an important conversation that you've been putting off, now is the time to approach it and get it done. It's odd, but sometimes not doing a task takes more energy than just doing it! You'll feel a weight lifted off your shoulders after you take care of that problem you've been avoiding. It's a relief to get things moving. This is a grand time to plan out a project or endeavor. Make a detailed list of the tasks needed to complete the project. Then organize and prioritize them. Put the list in a prominent location. Taking these steps now will keep you on track for the coming weeks and months.

Lost Dreams

Before 05/30/2023 to After 06/29/2023 | Exact: Jun 17, 2023

Reality intrudes this year upon your favorite dreams, and cold, hard facts shatter your dearest illusions. Influences that seem beyond your control are affecting you, trying to pin you down, to get a commitment -- but you are a slippery fish. You're in a little panic, though, because they are successfully limiting the size of your fishbowl, making you squirm all the more in your attempt to evade their grip. This challenger could be an actual person, someone who won't accept your evasive excuses and half-answers; or it could be a situation or difficult circumstance, most likely one of your own making; a house of cards built upon a dream, the most unstable of structures. A good, stiff wind blows it down in far less time than it took to build it. As you watch your fantasies evaporate, you'll feel disappointed and most definitely disillusioned. You'll have difficulty replacing your lost dreams with something -- anything! -- more practical. Although it would be easy to fall into a pessimistic and bitter mindset, don't succumb to this temptation. Seek solace in more spiritual pursuits, something larger than yourself: It's here where you may well find the comfort you now need.

Misreading Social Cues

Before 05/30/2023 to May 30

You could experience some embarrassment this week, because you might misread someone's romantic signals, or they could misinterpret yours. A sign of friendly affection could be misconstrued as romantic interest, or perhaps there could be a miscommunication about the time and place of a date or appointment. When you do hook up for a date, one of you could feel preoccupied, absentminded or a little bored with the activity you've selected to do. This isn't an end-of-the-world crisis, just a minor snafu, which can be easily cleared up with a little explaining and a good laugh to clear the nervous tension. One thing to be very careful about this week is gossiping. Any negative or judgmental comments may find a way of spreading out past the person you're talking to, and you could end up hurting someone's feelings or even damaging a relationship. Keep everything honest and aboveboard, and double-check that you understand the social cues coming your way.

Listen Up!

From May 30 to Jun 1 | Exact: Jun 1, 2023

Expect problems in communicating this week. The good news is, this is only a twice-a-year transit; the bad news is, right now, you're stuck in it. Nothing you say seems to come out right; you might hurt people's feelings right and left, and when you try to get your ideas across they just stare at you in confusion. You're also more sensitive than usual; something innocuous a friend or coworker says to you could really get under your skin. At work or in conversation with someone close to you, you may find your ideas being tested, or that you have to defend a project or assertion. This period is all about misunderstandings that will have to be cleared up sooner or later, so your best bet is just to be aware of that up front -- and if you can, wait before sending that email or making that phone call. When you're talking to a colleague, a friend or a lover, try active listening: Double-check to make sure you understand what they're saying, and that you've explained yourself clearly. You may find that you're more nervous and high-strung than usual, so take deep, calming breaths and keep up your exercise routine to work off excess energy. This week is a minor inconvenience that will soon pass.

A Little Too Much Fun

From Jun 1 to Jun 4 | Exact: Jun 3, 2023

You'll find it hard to say no during this week, unless it's saying no to taking on extra projects at work. That, you can do! But turning down social invitations or that extra slice of cheesecake at a friend's party, now, that's another matter entirely. You're all about self-indulgence now, and work is way down on your list of things to do, trumped by eating lots of great, rich, delicious foods...getting together with your friends and going out on the town for a good time...going on impromptu shopping sprees... Just try to remember the old adage: Moderation in all things, especially 'retail therapy'! Otherwise, your credit card bill could put a serious dent in your fun when it arrives in a few weeks. For now, though, you don't care how much you spend or eat, or how late you stay out; it's all in the name of having a good time, and 'good times' might as well be your middle name. Romance is in the air; you're attracted to good looks and smooth lines, so you might get hooked up with someone you think is special but who later turns out not to be all that great. The same thing is true at work, so beware of potential clients or associates who are more flash than substance.

Mercury square Sun

Explain Yourself

From Jun 9 to Jun 9

You'll be challenged to explain yourself during the few days that this transit is in effect. You may not be speaking and writing with the clarity you usually have. You may think you're communicating clearly, but then others come back with lots of questions, comments and suggestions. Rather than getting defensive, force yourself to listen carefully to their questions and complaints. There's a lot to learn here about effective delivery, about saying things in a way that other people can understand, and about listening to what others are saying. This is a great time for writing rough drafts, proposals and things that you'll have the opportunity to correct and update later, after you've had some feedback. If that feedback isn't as good as you expected, don't be discouraged. Use it as a learning experience to improve your writing and speaking, as a tool to refine your communication skills. If you're feeling nervous or edgy, take yourself out for some good exercise, and you'll return more clearheaded and motivated.

Keep Your Hands to Yourself

From Jun 11 to Jun 16 | Exact: Jun 13, 2023

Your libido is through the roof during this three-week period! You're fantasizing about sex during the day and dreaming about it at night, waking up sweaty and full of desires that are clamoring for an outlet. But getting your energy out in a physical way with someone special may not be an option, if you're single or if things just aren't going your way out on the dating scene; and that could be really frustrating to deal with. Although you might be tempted to hook up with someone that really isn't that special to you, just to scratch an itch, so to speak, that's not a good idea. It would definitely leave you feeling the void of that emotional connection that's so important as a complement to a physical bond. But your passion's going to have to get expressed and used up somehow, so how? Exercise is a good route; endurance training through swimming, running or lifting weights is a great way to focus your energy and train it into submission. But do you have the discipline to do that now? Probably not! You're impulsive and your energy is all over the place. So, you'll have to try a little harder, that's all. This troublesome energy will pass in a few weeks, don't worry.

A Leak in Your Mind

From Jun 14 to Jun 15 | Exact: Jun 15, 2023

Try as you might, you can't seem to keep your focus on anything. Your thoughts all seem to fly right out the window, especially when you're trying to talk to someone! Somehow the boundaries between you and the other person seem to meld and merge, and all of a sudden you feel like you're in their shoes, which makes it really difficult to express your own point of view. Therefore, this is not a good week to try to have a serious conversation with anyone. You're not expressing yourself as well as you usually do, and misunderstandings could very easily arise, on your side or theirs. Since you're not feeling particularly energetic or strong, others perceive weakness in you and might try to take advantage. It's also possible that you could see or hear an offer that seems too good to be true, and since your usual filters aren't working so well, you might actually fall for a fly-by-night scheme -- which you'll regret when you find out all the facts at a later time. So, forewarned is forearmed. Don't be too hard on yourself this week, and next week you'll feel a lot better.

Bite Your Tongue

From Jun 17 to Jun 17

Well! Your (fill in the blank -- boss, lover, friend, complete stranger) has a lot of nerve to contradict you! Just who do they think they are, anyway? They picked the wrong day to pick an argument with you, because you're not backing down; no way. And those very sensible facts and figures they're throwing in your face to prove you wrong -- all hogwash! You fold your arms over your chest and jut your chin out, rolling your eyes at the ceiling. You're right, and that's that. Except when you're wrong! And that can be the trouble when you're stubbornly clinging to your ideas, even in the face of facts that clearly show you seriously need an update. Forewarned is forearmed, in this case, so now you know not to stick to your guns when your guns are stuck! Instead of turning off your ears, turn off your mouth. Listen, no matter how much of a struggle it is. Take down those facts and figures and check them out for yourself. There's no disgrace in not knowing something -- the disgrace lies in refusing to admit you've been wrong.

'Everything's Just Fine!'

From Jun 20 to Jun 23

You're in a lazy, self indulgent mood this week, and you'll avoid work if you can. You hate to rock the boat right now, so you could end up compromising on important issues at work or at home instead of speaking your mind. It's nice to be conciliatory and to cede to others' desires, but at what expense will you do so now? For one thing, you're more sensitive than usual; that, put together with your current tendency to back down from potential conflict, means that you might be nursing some hurt feelings before this transit passes. You're not in the mood to stand up for yourself, which means your only course is to bottle things up inside. This is really not a good idea, but it's probably going to be your first instinct during this period. Looks like you're going to be spending some time cleaning up messes in a week or two, when your backbone returns! That's okay; just try not to commit to anything at this time that you have a strong, gut-level feeling against. Even if you're uncertain about something, just say 'I'll get back to you later about that' and save the decision for next week, when you'll be feeling more clear-headed and strong-willed.

Is It Them, or Is It You?

From Jun 22 to Jun 24 | Exact: Jun 23, 2023

This could be a difficult week, when it feels like everyone -- and especially people with power -- is determined to stop you in your tracks. You seem to face one obstacle after another as you try to make your way through your week. The funny thing is, it seems like everyone around you is the problem, but really, it's you. You may not make your best impression on others during this time. You're a bit more on edge than usual; whenever you perceive a challenge, your fists go up, so to speak, and you're ready to jump into the fray instead of taking a more philosophical perspective. Confrontations are likely at this time; you're in an aggressive frame of mind and you won't back down easily from any fight. And though you'll hate to admit it, you're hypersensitive now, so you switch into defense mode fast, even when there's nothing that you need to defend yourself against. You could find it hard stay calm and easygoing, and annoying other people is almost a given! Promise yourself that you'll count to ten before you lash out verbally or physically at anyone. Try to take the high road, even though it's extremely difficult.

Power Struggles and Your Personal Past

From Jun 23 to Jun 26 | Exact: Jun 25, 2023

This week is all about power plays that will come out of seemingly nowhere, and could blow up fast. In some way, you're creating struggles where they don't need to exist. Somehow, when your boss or partner challenges you, it seems much more loaded than it normally does. You take everything personally, even when it's not meant that way. Whatever they say, you hear something else -- a projection from your past, most likely. Old hurts are revisiting you now, getting under your skin all over again and wreaking havoc on your emotions and your relationships with the people around you. Thank goodness this transit is relatively short! Your best bet may be to take time off work, if you possibly can, or at least work alone on your projects. Don't show them to your boss or colleagues for review until you have to, because any criticisms could really put a dent in your pride. A good way to dispel some of this intense, prickly energy is to get either physical or creative, or better yet, both: paint something, write a short story or a poem, go out dancing. Some exercise put together with some right-brain work will help power you through these rough few days.

Bumping Heads

From Jun 27 to Jun 27

This week, you could very easily butt heads with someone else as headstrong and opinionated as you are. Whereas you normally would back down from stupid challenges, these days you have a harder time discerning the stupid ones from the worthy ones, and this probably won't work to your advantage. Hotheaded and impulsive, you can thoughtlessly lash out at just about anyone, offending others and even causing an emotional mess that you'll have to clean up later with abject apologies and promises that you'll never act that way again. And let's face it, you're not proud of yourself after you've gone off on someone like that. Far better to gracefully bow out, unless your life -- or someone else's -- depends on it. So, make a decision before the situation arises that you'll consciously avoid arguments, especially with anyone who's feeling right and righteous. Acknowledge that you're never going to convince them and they're never going to convince you, so it's useless to waste your breath arguing. Keeping your opinion to yourself is the best way to avoid the negative manifestations of this influence.

Mental Obsessions

From Jun 28 to Jun 28

'Don't believe everything that you read, or hear.' That's your motto for the week, and you're sticking to it. In fact, you don't believe anything that you read or hear! That skeptical outlook can be attributed to this short but intense influence which comes around for a few days twice a year. You're suspicious of everyone's motivations, and may even latch obsessively onto a thought, idea or concept, such as a political event or even a personal matter. The problem is, you're attached and you won't let go. You probe and dig and dig some more until you're in a deep ditch. There you sit, overanalyzing and obsessing on something you can do nothing about -- and herein lies the key to avoiding the temporary dangers of this transit. Remember the old saying about accepting the things you cannot change? If ever there was a time to utilize that thought, it's now. Also, avoid getting into arguments with authority figures. You can't win right now. Lay low, work hard and mind your own business, and you'll be through this tough week before you know it.

I hope you have enjoyed the valuable insight, wisdom and guidance of this astrology report. You might be a little curious about astrology and perhaps wondering how an astrologer can know so much about you!

Astrology is a mathematical system. It's all about applying meaning to numbers, or more specifically, finding meaning in the movements of the planets around the Sun, as viewed from our perspective here on earth. These planetary movements are easily captured and recorded with measurements, calculations, angles and so on.

That's why astrology works so well with computers, whose programs are also based on numbers and formulas. In 'the old days' -- thousands of years ago, when astrology was first recorded -- those early astrologers had to painstakingly observe the heavens and catalog their observations for the next generation of astrologers to build upon. Thank goodness for the computer age! Now we can simply use computers to make those calculations quickly and pull just the applicable pieces of information. Now, astrology is instant, based upon thousands of years of observations obtained through careful methodology.

Interpretations of planetary positions are based in part on ancient Greek and Roman mythology, but your astrological report is unique, describing you and you only. Even in the case of twin siblings, their birth charts differ from each other's in at least a few ways. And besides, no one amounts to just a simple interpretation of their birth chart; everyone's personality is complex. Your astrological report leaves plenty of room for variations based on your free will, personal growth and transformation over a lifetime.

Just like you, your astrological report is unique. It’s generated online in seconds and provides you with instant insight at your fingertips. Whether you have a pressing question about your future or you just want some guidance and direction, now you can have it all -- in a fast, focused, all-about-you format.

You can choose from several different types to find the report that's right for you and your needs. Your natal report is all about you -- your unique characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, potential and so on. Compatibility reports analyze the connections between two different people, to see how well and in what ways they get along. And a forecast is based on where the planets are today and how they're affecting you, uniquely. Be sure to try a free sample of another report to find out more about you!
