June 2008
You are heading for Mount Olympus, straight to the top, in your own sweet time, so don't worry about it. Jupiter, even though retrograde, is still watching your back.
Also, Pluto Retrograde clearing out of your tenth house of career and ambition after Friday, June 13 will be a great relief.
The extreme ups and downs of your work, not knowing then knowing, will calm down and you will ride the rapids smoothly and stunningly. (And you will look good.)
Everything is heating up in terms of communication and this is helping your work enormously. Everyone you meet right now is a potential work contact.
Isn't it time for your own personal reading? Call 212-631-5844.
The power in your voice itself is good karma.
It is, however, the dreaded time of Mercury Retrograde - taking place in your third house of communications as of Monday, May 26, - so it's a double whammy for you as June begins its tune.
This retrograde lasts until Thursday, June 19.
Mercury Retrograde, Mercury Retrograde, Mercury Retrograde. You must have heard of it by now. It's all the RE words. RE-peat. RE-member. RE-wind. RE-vise. RE-alize. REalign. All to do with what was BEFORE.
REtrograde means backwards, so everything that planet rules goes backwards during these three weeks.
Planet Mercury rules communication - which includes phones, emails, faxes, letters, packages, etc. - travel - which rules plane flights and all other methods of transportation (including car) - and speed: everything goes that much more slowly.
For most people in the twenty-first century, of course, this is sheer torture. Impatient at best, you are snarling at the grip if things go too SLOW. So this is the ideal time to take a holiday (May 26 - June 19), and preferably at home.
Travel will be delayed and this makes you crazy. Your car could act up, you lose your cell phone, the flight is cancelled, people are late.
So, stay at home if you can - or have the most relaxing holiday possible - and just RE-lax.
It is a good time to bring things of the past to completion. To forgive and move on. Mercury is very, very smart. There's nothing smart about holding onto grudges.
Also, don't buy a car or mechanical equipment (including computer, ipod, blackberry, etc.) during this time. Wait until after June 19.
Because Mercury is the messenger god, messages are also affected by its retrograde. They may get lost or miscommunicated: you could not get an email, or a phone call, or it may be difficult to hear the person because of static on the phone.
Messages are misunderstood, in other words. So, lighten up! Don't attach too much significance to what anyone is saying during these three crazy weeks.
Best to see this Alice-in-Wonderland Time as if you are, and everyone around you is, perpetually stoned. Or, as some might say, go ZEN.
And, finally, try to save your Hancock - try to keep from signing important papers - until after Mercury goes direct again, after June 19.
Okay, end of the Mercury Retrograde lecture!
In personal matters don't mull much over what happened before last Monday.
A conflict may be at work between you and another. Again, because it is Mercury Retrograde, the best thing now to do would be RE-treat and RE-cover. Nothing rash or dramatic at this time!
No matter how many excuses you have.
Again - wait until after June 19.
Besides Mercury, you also have blessing your third house of communications: the golden Sun, beautiful Venus as of Saturday, May 24 (that's tomorrow!), and an exciting new Moon on Tuesday, June 3.
Got that pitch to make? Make it this June. Wanting to publish? Now's your time. Working it out with siblings? There's no better month.
As wise Pallas leaves your sign this Saturday, May 24, honor her with your lessons learned. Pallas rules compassionate wisdom and sometimes was known as the goddess of health. Be particularly wise and healthy at this time.
Love-wise, it's not the easiest time - but then, when is? There's happiness here, though, and I see a protective star above you. Just wait if the time is not yet right.
Your ruling planet sexy Mars promises that you finish June on a delicious note. This month gets better and better the deeper you go into it.
Bravo, dear Aries!
