Your Milky Way Horoscope June 9-15, 2013

By Milky Way Maid

Venus at 10 degrees Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn at 6:06 pm Tuesday. Venus-Pluto opposed or squared generally signify power struggles or sometimes a romantic obsession. You may meet someone that you believe is your soul mate, although the other person may have differing views on that. You may run into a controlling, abusive type, too, so watch for the warning signs and if seen, run do not walk the other way. There may be either a financial or romantic crisis.

Saturn at 5 degrees Scorpio trines Neptune in Pisces at 7:18 pm Tuesday. It's a beautiful thing to see when hard work and discipline (Saturn) labor on behalf of ideals and selflessness (Neptune) – or in other words, Compassion blended with Experience to enable us to build that better world but with a solid foundation. Society can become a better place if more people did this at least one day a month! And without any rose-colored glasses!

Venus at 11 degrees Cancer squares Uranus in Aries. Venus-Uranus transits seem to always bring interesting if strange people into our lives, altho almost always for the short term. These strangers may be foreigners, those who speak a foreign language, those who have unconventional or even bohemian lifestyles, or just people with very different habits and ways of thinking. They appear in order to shake you out of your ruts!

There is a Grand Trine in water signs late Sunday. Moon in Cancer, Saturn in Scorpio, and Neptune in Pisces between 11 pm and midnight ET. Favorable for brain-storming, listening to one's intuition, or simply letting one's feelings wash over you as you listen to music or watch a film. Watching a historical (Saturn) movie (Neptune) might send you into a reverie (Moon) of living in a past life. Taking notes on your thoughts can help you sort through those feelings and hopefully become more self-aware of your motivations and inner goals. Later, Saturn is exactly trine Neptune Tuesday night, so you might try another historical reverie session.

I finally posted a little article on the new Pope Francis and also a kind of book review on a book that accidentally talks about ancient astronomy. The article on Pope Francis is here: http://milkywayastrology.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/a-look-at-the-new-pope-franciss-astro-charts/ And the article on the best book that both is and is not about ancient astronomy is here: http://milkywayastrology.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/the-best-book-about-ancient-astronomy-that-isnt-about-astrology-per-se/
