This month the majority of the action will be in your 5th House of creativity, children and romance, which should make for an interesting time.  This starts out with the New Moon in Gemini on the 3rd, which should indicate something new in this part of your life.  In large measure it's up to you to decide what that will be, so think about something you'd like to initiate relative to 5th House issues and then go for it!   It's a great time to start a new creative project, initiate or renew a romantic relationship, enjoy a new activity with your children, or even do something for yourself that builds your self-esteem.  Unexpected news is possible during the next few weeks that could be disruptive, and make sure you're not too idealistic in your expectations.  It's a good idea to be flexible in your opinions during this time as well. 

The Sun is highlighting this same 5th House area until when he moves into Cancer on the 22nd, which further helps that New Moon along, as well as Venus who moves into Cancer on the 19th.  The Sun and Venus will be in conjunction all month long, which will fire up those Venusian vibes, though they could be a bit overpowered by the Sun, meaning your ego could get in the way.  Be aware of this tendency and be sensitive to others and their needs as well as your own.  Mercury will be in Gemini all month long, encouraging communications in that area.  Note, however, that Mercury is retrograde (RX) until the 19th.  While this is usually a nuisance due to the fact it tends to interfere with communications generally, from cell phones to traffic signals and email, it's a favorable time to rework issues that aren't quite right.  Gemini loves data, so anything that requires additional information to resolve should be available for the asking. 

Everyone seems to know intuitively that Venus pertains to our lovelife, which is certainly true.  As the ruler of Libra, she definitely reigns over relationships, and she also rules Taurus, which includes our physical pleasures, making her a natural influence in our love relationships in particular.  However, Taurus also includes our possessions and finances, so Venus can pertain to those as well.  Thus, if you're in a nice stable love relationship you can probably find some way to enhance but, but if there isn't one at all, then take a good look at your finances and what you may need to do with them this month.  Of course, even if you're pursuing romance this month, taking a look at your finances may be a good idea as well.

Venus is interacting with various other planets this month that will be helpful for whatever needs to be done.  Between June 2 - 11 she'll be sextile Mars in Leo, which conveniently happens to be your 7th House of relationships, so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do the math on that one.  A sextile usually heralds an opportunity of some sort, so keep your eyes open and act accordingly.  Remember that the 7th House includes all one-on-one relationships, not just those of the romantic variety, including close friends and relatives, business partners, and so forth.  At any rate, this is a favorable time to initiate some activity with your relationships, particularly of the male-female variety, even if they're of a platonic nature.

Between June 8 - 11, Mercury RX and Venus will be in conjunction.  If there are any old issues that need to be discussed and resolved, this is when they'll come out, but the cosmic vibes are definitely favorable.  From June 15 - 22, Venus will oppose Pluto, who will slip back into your 11th House of groups, friends, hopes and wishes due to retrograde motion at that same time.  If there are any unresolved issues of a deep, soul-searching nature that require some work on your part, this will help facilitate any transformation you need to accomplish regarding your 11th House.  Everyone in astrological circles made a big deal of Pluto going into Capricorn back in January, but he's making a return trip to Sagittarius until November, which will help you complete any unfinished business relative to your group activities, friends, or hopes and wishes.  Sweeping things under the rug never solves a thing.  At some point those dirt deposits either eat a hole in the rug or cause you to trip, so take advantage of Pluto's assistance to take care of business.  Note that the Sun will also oppose Pluto during this same timeframe, which will bring even more energy to this venue.

During most of the month until June 25, Saturn will trine Pluto, which will be working on your sense of responsibility toward your group activities, whether your time and energy is well-spent and bring forth considerations for if more or less involvement may be in your best interest.  The Full Moon on the 18th also indicates the culmination of something in this area.  A transformation in your view of things is in-work, so pay attention to any lessons coming your way.  From June 24 through July 8, Mars will trine Pluto, which will provide a tremendous amount of energy and power to your 7th and 11th House.  This implies that you might build a closer relationship from amongst one of those groups or perhaps even bring some hopes and wishes to fruition via a relationship.  These aspects will work together to help get you headed in the right direction, either toward or away from your current activities.

Several of the slow-moving outer planets are in retrograde right now, which tends to work on larger issues.  Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto have all been RX for a while and Uranus will join them June 27.  Jupiter RX tends to work on ethics issues.  This is going on in your 12th House of inspiration, dreams and spirituality, so expect some new considerations relative to your involvement with this part of your life.  Neptune RX can cause delusions, and since he's in your 1st House of personality, you need to make sure you look at things objectively and not get too taken up with what you want to see versus what is actually there.  Pluto RX is the cosmic Roto-rooter so often mentioned here that will unearth any buried problems you've been avoiding, and as previously mentioned, with him back-tracking to your 11th House, this definitely ties into those group association or hopes/wishes noted earlier. 

When Uranus goes RX on June 27th, anything can happen.  This is the planet of surprises, unexpected events, disruptions and so forth.  This will occur in your 2nd House of possession, finances and pleasures.  Anything you anticipate occurring in this area is likely to come out differently than you expect.  Anticipate you could experience some breakdowns or problems that will cost money, so plan accordingly.  If you're fortunate enough to not have this happen, you can celebrate accordingly, but bear in mind that this RX cycle will last until Thanksgiving, so don't get too excited that you escaped until then.  It could be minor or major, good or bad, depending on how this happens to hit your natal chart.  Those born between February 8 - 12 can especially expect a nuisance or annoyance of some description to occur during this time.

Needless to say, this looks like a good month for relationships, both on the one-on-one and group level, including some positive changes.  Now is the time to focus on that part of your life and realign your priorities in such a way that you're using your time in the most advantageous manner.  The most important thing is to put these aspects to work for you.  Take the driver's seat and control your destiny.  This energy is going to be at work in your life one way or another and you'll be much happier if you choose the direction it goes rather than letting the Universe decide for you.
