The bulk of the action this month for fishies will be in your 4th, 5th, 6th and 10th Houses, which comprise your home environment, creative endeavors, work/health, and career/reputation, respectively.  The New Moon on June 3 is in your 4th House, which provides the opportunity to initiate something new in this area.  One thing to always remember is that as the planets throw their energy you way that you have the right, privilege and even obligation to decide how to use it.  If you don't use your free-will and decide, the Universe or other people will do it for you and you may not like the result.  The energy is going to manifest in your life somewhere, so you may as well be the one who determines where.  That said, now is the time to decide what you'd like to start in your home environment, which includes your abode itself and the people in it.  Perhaps some remodeling, rearranging, or even a move would serve you well.  Decide what you want, then let the Universe help you make it so.

The energy will continue in this area for most of the month, at least until the relevant planets move from Gemini into Cancer.  From June 2 - 11, Venus will be in Gemini, from which she'll sextile Mars.  A sextile usually heralds an opportunity, and with Mars in your 6th House of work, this could throw some definite motivation to start a new project of some sort.  Bear in mind that the House of "work" includes anything you do with your hands, whether or not it's at your actual "job" for which you hopefully get paid.  Thus, it includes working around the house, giving you some energy to do some late spring cleaning, yard work, or anything else you'd care to get done while you have an extra boost coming your way. 

Mercury will form a conjunction with Venus during much of that same time, i.e. between June 8 - 11.  Note that Mercury is retrograde (RX) that entire time.  Those of you familiar with Mercury RX will know that this can be a less than enchanting period.  Mercury rules communications (and work) and these things tend to get bogged down during that time.  Cell phones and computers crash and even human communications can get honked up with misunderstandings.  The good news is that this is a favorable time to re-do or re-work anything that needs it.  It's particularly good for editing or making sure you have the details for a project properly worked out.  Fighting against it will only result in frustration, so if you start an entirely new project on the 2nd, remember what I said earlier about directing the energy, which in this case means re-doing or re-working something else, so you don't wind up with too much resistance trying to move forward.  If you have family vacation plans coming up, making sure they're all in order, properly confirmed, and so forth is a good use of this period. 

Since your home environment also includes the people in it, this is also a favorable time to revisit any issues that may require attention with family members or roommates.  Between June 10 - 15, Venus will square Uranus, who's cruising along in your 1st House of personality.  A square usually brings a crisis of some description, which in this cases smells like an emotional blow-up or meltdown of some sort.  More than likely this will not be over anything new, so if this occurs, put that retrograde Mercury to work and resolve it.  Pluto is going to jump in and help resolve long-standing issues starting June 15 when both the Sun and Venus oppose him.  These issues will involve your career versus home in some way, possibly as it affects your relationships or budget.  Pluto wants all the dirt removed from under the rug and will provide the broom and dustpan to do so.  If it's a new issue, making progress with a resolution probably won't happen until after the 19th when Mercury goes direct, so if that's the case, be prepared to chill out until then.

Venus rules both Libra, which is the Universal House of relationships, and Taurus, the Universal House of finance, possessions and pleasure.  Thus, with Venus in your 4th House of home environment, relationship or financial issues are prime candidates for attention, probably in a favorable manner.  Again, direct the energy where you want it to go.

From the beginning of the month until June 25, Saturn will trine Pluto.  A trine is a harmonious blending of energies, even though these two planets are not usually the ones who come to mind when you think of positive occurrences.  In this case Saturn is in your 7th House of relationships and Pluto is in your 10th of career and reputation.  Relationships comprise all one-on-one interactions and thus include not only your significant other but close friends and relatives as well as business associates.  This aspect implies positive things will be brewing regarding these two areas.  If you have a new proposal you want to bring forward it's best to wait until after the 19th when Mercury comes out of retrograde, but if it involves readdressing something that has been in-work for awhile, the Universe is in your favor so put it to good use. 

Pluto is the Zodiacal Roto-rooter who takes pride in unearthing issues that require attention.  If there's anything amiss in your career or reputation, this presents an outstanding time to get it corrected once and for all.  The key piece of information to consider here is that Pluto moved into Capricorn last January amidst all sorts of astrological ado.  However, now he's retrograde and has back-pedaled into Sagittarius so that anything that wasn't quite resolved can be finished up.  Pluto is all about death and regeneration, so bear that in mind as you look at your career and anything that needs to be fixed, particularly regarding your relationships in that venue.  Saturn is about responsibility, restrictions, obligations and boundaries, so if anyone in your career environment has been presenting a challenge in that area, now is the time to "git 'r' dun."  You have until November, at which time Pluto moves back into Capricorn never to return, at least in your lifetime, so it's now or never as far as utilizing those vibes to assist you in that area.  The Full Moon, which ordinarily indicates a culmination of some sort, occurs on the 18th and provides even more impetus in this area.

Energetic Mars is currently transiting your 6th House of work, health and pets.  This provides a lot of energy, as noted earlier, but can also come across as aggression.  Between June 14 - 28 he will oppose Neptune, your Sign Ruler, who's in your 12th House of inspiration, dreams, and spirituality as well as hidden enemies.  This is home ground for Pisces, since it rules the Universal 12th House.  This aspect implies some potential opposition between something at work versus your spiritual values or perhaps your need to escape the mundane from time to time to feed your soul.  Perhaps you really need to get away and even have something planned, but something will come along at work that requires your attention and impinges on that renewal time.  This comprises the two week period that represents the second half of June, so if you're planning a retreat of some sort, avoid this time as the likelihood of a conflict requiring negotiations is high.

Slightly overlapping this period will be Mars in trine to Pluto between June 24 and July 8.  These two are all about ambition and power, but fortunately a trine is an harmonious energy configuration.  Make sure this harmony works for you and not someone else, particularly regarding projects at work.  If there's something you really want to push through or initiate, now is the time to do so.

Most of the action this month is going to center around your home environment and various issues that relate there in one way or another.  Work and career will come into play as well.  There are good opportunities to resolve some long-standing issues, so take advantage of them.  On June 19 Venus moves into Cancer with the Sun to follow on the 22nd.  This is your 5th House of creativity, children, ego and romance, so a shift in emphasis to those areas will occur at that time.  Remember to direct planetary energy toward the areas of your life that you want to work on and not let the Universe decide for you.  This will enhance your own efforts and help you get where you ultimately hope to go.
