Welcome to your stars for the month of June, featuring a pair of over-active eclipses and a psychic “black hole” or two. But there’s no need to panic – Jupiter is laying a golden egg. Let’s look closer…

June 2: New moon in Gemini plus solar eclipse, followed by full moon in Sagittarius plus lunar eclipse on June 16. Holy Hermes! Eclipse seasons tend to draw out our subterranean worries and fears. You may feel uninspired, over-sensitive or argumentative. The remedy for this particular eclipse season is to regard your own opinions and emotions with the demeanor of the Buddha. In other words, stay detached. Even better, stay discreetly amused! But do pay attention to any issues you’ve shoved under the rug during the past six months – especially regarding your most important relationships. Pay attention to surprising synchronicities, too. And what about people who seem to get a kick out of bringing you down, or gossiping about you? Forget them. People with sneaky-looking grins ought to be given a wide berth. Don’t let them play you. What are you – a mandolin or a mage?

June 4: Jupiter leaves Aries (sorry, fire signs!) and enters Taurus (come on down, Earth signs!). Actually, that’s not really fair on fire signs. Jupiter in Taurus for the coming twelve months is helpful for anyone working towards greater stability, wealth and abundance. The time for hiding your dreams in some secret filing cabinet of your psyche is officially over. Jupiter is laying golden eggs and they are yours to enjoy. Share, sell and swap your ideas, talents, resources and assets. But be warned: Jupiter in Taurus works best if you tackle projects one step at a time. Impatience (as in, “I’ve been sitting on the sofa visualizing my head off for 5 whole minutes so why hasn’t my red sports car arrived yet?”) is not the way Jupiter in Taurus operates.

June 9: Chiron and Neptune move retrograde until November. Chiron entered Pisces last year, followed by Neptune in April. Astrologers proclaimed the beginning of a wonderful decade in which everyone becomes highly intuitive – even psychic. Yes, that’s true, so keep practicing…But during this retrograde phase, forgive yourself if you fail to predict little things that ought to be obvious. For example, your partner has not popped out to the organic supermarket – he/she has actually run away to Machu Picchu with his/her yoga teacher (even though last week you were the “love of his/her life”!!!). Also important: letting go of old emotional baggage. Don’t become trapped in the nets of the past like a nostalgia-ridden mermaid. Swim free. Swim here. Swim now.

June 22: Winter Solstice Festival – The sun enters Cancer and it’s time for witches and wizards to put on their woolly mammoth socks and celebrate. The gift of Cancer is unconditional love, so put that in your mulled wine and share it.
