This month most of the action for Bulls will be in Gemini, your 2nd House of possessions, finance and pleasures, which is Taurus' home territory, then shift into your 3rd House of thoughts, ideas, short journeys and neighbors around the 22nd or so. The New Moon occurs in this rather populated 2nd House venue on June 3, which will herald a new beginning of some description. Bear in mind that how you use that energy is up to you. You can make a choice and put it to good use, or simply sit back and wait, which Bulls are so good at, and let the Universe decide for you. Be aware that if you take that second option that you may not like the result, so it's in your best interest to be proactive. Patience may be a virtue, but taken to extremes it rapidly becomes procrastination or indecisiveness, so give it some thought.

During the entire month your Sign Ruler, Venus, will be traveling in close proximity, a.k.a. conjunction, with the Sun. This is likely to manifest in a positive way, though the Sun can also overpower her charming light. This could conceivably make you more prone than usual to indulge in something that you ordinarily wouldn't do. You have a somewhat hedonistic nature, anyway, so just make sure that the temptation is within the bounds of good sense before you give in. Also note that between June 8 - 11th that Mercury will be in there as well. Mercury rules communication and mechanical function and the bad news is that he'll be retrograde (RX) until June 19th. As you may already know, Mercury RX messes with his energy and things such as cell phones, computers, TVs, automobiles, traffic lights, et cetera and so forth all tend to malfunction. Another word of caution that anything of this nature that you purchase during a Mercury RX period runs a high probability of having a veritable curse upon it that will render that item a place on your "lemon list", saying it politely. As an example, if perchance your car dies during this time, you'd do well to rent one until after the 19th. If you can't rent it, do without until it's over. I kid you not. It's not worth the risk.

Also in effect the majority of the month, i.e. until June 25, will be a trine between Saturn and Pluto. While both of these planets function as bad actors from time to time, this time the energy between them is harmonious so is another bit of cosmological help you should put to good use. Saturn is in picky Virgo, your 5th House of creativity, children, ego and romance, and Pluto is in stern Capricorn until the 15th, at which time he'll return to Sagittarius, your 8th House of sex, death & regeneration, transformation, and other people's resources.

Those first two weeks of June, therefore, would be a good time to look closely at anything that needs to be resolved quickly in your 9th House, e.g. legal matters, long-distance travel, beliefs (including politics and religion), or higher education. Once Pluto slips back into Sagittarius, he'll be there until the end of November, actually right around Thanksgiving. This gives you almost six months to take a second shot at taking care of any unfinished business in this part of your life while the planets are extending a helping hand. After that, you're on your own. Once Pluto gets back in Capricorn, that will be it; he won't be in Sagittarius again for the remainder of your lifetime.

Therefore, it would behoove you to determine if you left anything lurking in your 8th House that requires attention. The sex and other people's resource parts are pretty obvious and for most Bulls these areas won't be a problem. You know what sex is all about, enjoy it tremendously and you probably have your finances under control. If you don't, then Bingo! it's time to git 'r' dun! "Transformation", on the other hand, covers a lot of territory and may be harder to recognize. Generally, the place to look would be toward anything that is life-changing or has the potential to make you into a different person, assumably better. Assuming the trine to Saturn is related, further hints are contained in your 5th House, so look there if nothing jumps out at you. If there's something you really need to do that is difficult and you've been specifically avoiding, even though you know it would be good for you, I strongly suggest that you paint a great, big, figurative target on that task and go for it while you have the extra Zodiacal help. Really. Trust me, it will be a lot easier now than later.

From June 15 until around June 24, give or take a day or so, Venus and the Sun will oppose Pluto, who will have just moved into that 8th House. This should shine even more light on this area and lend further assistance in identifying what needs to be done. The Full Moon on the 18th in Sagittarius will be the coup de gras, indicating at least the beginning of the end of something, so pay attention, if you still haven't figured it out by then.

From June 2 - 11, Venus and the Sun will sextile Mars in your 4th House of home environment, which includes not only your physical abode but anyone (or anything) who shares it with you. A sextile usually brings along an opportunity and this smells like it may go along with that potential temptation mentioned earlier, but somewhat narrows the playing field. In other words, if you undergo an irresistible urge of some sort to indulge in something, it more than likely is going to have something to do with your home environment. Maybe you'll finally give in and buy that big-screen TV, the gourmet cookware, silk sheets, or similar household item or perhaps you'll indulge in some rare tropical plants for the backyard. Whatever grabs your fancy, give it the test with the "24 hour rule," meaning you wait at least that long to make the purchase, then if you still want it, go ahead and enjoy it. Bear in mind that if you pay cash, you'll enjoy it even more since you won't have to be forking out payments long after the novelty has worn off.

That Mercury/Venus/Sun trio will square Uranus between June 10 - 15. Uranus is in your 11th House of friends, groups, associations, hopes and wishes. A square usually means a crisis or conflict of some description, and with that planetary trio in your 2nd House of possessions, finances, and pleasures, there's a target rich environment for something near and dear to your heart to be affected by your friends and associates in cahoots with Uranus, the planet of upsets, unexpected events, and surprises. It could also stand between you and one of your hopes and wishes in some manner. For example, if you've been a good li'l Bull and been saving your money for something you want, it would be par for the course for your Home Owner Association to come along with a big fat bill for something you hadn't expected. Just wait, something will happen, and you won't like it. I apologize for the planets but can't control them. At least forewarned is forearmed.

Between June 14 - 28 Mars will oppose Neptune who's sneaking along in his sneaky, delusional way in your 10th House of career and reputation. If you've been in a fog about your career ambitions for a while, this is probably why. As the master of delusion and illusion, it would make perfect sense for you to have some very unrealistic aspirations in this area. While Neptune can also inspire and fuel our dreams, we need to keep both feet on the ground and know how much to believe and how much to simply roll our eyes at and move on. With Mars in your 4th House of home environment, this aspect implies that there will be a tug-o-war of some description between your possibly nebulous career and your home. This two week period should actually be quite productive in helping you to make some decisions in this area that probably need making. Mars is all about action and drive and may either find a way to make those dreams happen or shoot the hell out of them so you can move on to more solid ground.

All in all, this should be an interesting month for you. There's a lot of activity in Taurus' Natural House and you're going to feel it in a variety of ways. You have some unfinished business to take care of in your 8th House and possibly your 9th and blaming your lack of action on your patient nature no longer applies. It's time to take the bull by the horns, which the planets may just do for you, if you don't take responsibility for those things you need to get done. Do it now, while the planets are lending a helping hand. You snooze, you lose.

Trust me.
