Your Milky Way Horoscope June 15-21, 2014

By Milky Way Maid

Dear Readers-- Please visit the website of the National Blood Clot Alliance at StopTheClot.org to learn more about blood clots and when you might need to see a doctor about it.

Father's Day on June 15 features a Moon-Jupiter opposition. Dads might get overemotional about their kids or meaningful gifts received. Conversely, things going wrong may cause dads or moms to blow their stacks or over-react in other ways. So be gentle with Dad and go along with whatever he wants to do; he really loves you, you know. 

 

Mercury retrogrades back into Gemini at 6:05 am Tuesday. We will have to make corrections to paperwork, call people back to cancel or reschedule appointments, or meet with professional people to clarify what we expect from each other. 

 

Venus at 24 degrees Taurus sextiles sugar-daddy Jupiter in Cancer at 5:16 am Wednesday. Wishes can come true under this transit, so be careful what you wish for. This transit can make you a little too generous, so think things over before you give away any fur coats or diamonds. You might overdo in the food or drink department, especially with sweets. But on the whole, you will be in a very nice, contented mood, and may even feel like you are on vacation. 

 

The Sun at 28 degrees Gemini is conjunct retrograde Mercury at 6:50 pm Thursday. This is an important point in the Mercury cycle so watch for any changes of direction in the stock market or in commodities prices. And hey, if you read my article on late degrees, you might also recognize this transit as a fine time to start that novel you have been meaning to write. 

 

The Sun enters Cancer at 6:51 am Saturday. People with the Sun in Cancer are either a big baby, wanting to be taken care of, or everybody's mama who takes care of others. Cancers are extremely proud of wherever they come from, and readily wave the flag no matter how long it has been since they lived there. A mature Cancer personality is very sensitive to the emotional pains of others, and can empathize and validate others' feelings. Cancer is a very active sign since it is one of the cardinals; they are always doing something. They like all sorts of antiques and anything historical, which may include the moth-eaten old doll from childhood. Famous people with the Sun in Cancer include: comedian Phyllis Diller, rocker Ringo Starr, game show mogul Merv Griffin, pianist Van Cliburn, artist Rembrandt, Jean Jacques Rousseau, Helen Keller, Gilda Radner, Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor, PT Barnum, and Arianna Huffington.

Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. NOTE: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.

ARIES - March 20-April 19 – The Moon is in Aries from 5:26 pm Thursday till late Saturday. The Sun-Mercury conjunction on Thursday directly affects your communications; perhaps you need to finish or edit a manuscript. Friday could be stressful, with deadlines pressing you to make decisions regarding career or partnerships. Dinner hour on Saturday favors catching up on news and gossip with your guests. Juno enters your solar third house this week; communications are key in relationships, and you enjoy using someone as a sounding board.

TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – Best days this week are probably when the Moon is in Pisces, plus your ruler Venus is very happy Wednesday morning. The Moon enters Taurus at 11:03 pm Saturday, and remains there thru the weekend. Not much I can say about less than an hour, except that you will feel more like yourself Sunday morning. Juno enters your solar second house this week, which favors finding a financial partner who can help you organize the bill-paying and tracking of expenses. You may even be able to afford some indulgences after cutting out the waste.

GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – Juno enters Gemini this week! Right now you want a beau who is mentally stimulating more than anything else. Explore taking a class together, taking day trips, or reading the same book. You may also at the same time develop more self-reliance as you grow into yourself while still sharing a part of your life with someone else. The Sun-Mercury conjunction on Thursday may be significant for you, so by all means start a writing class or project, or set aside time to write such as at a writers' Meetup, etc.

CANCER - June 21-July 22 – Best day may be when the Moon is in fellow-water-sign Pisces; Wednesday morning may bring a gift. Juno's entry into your solar twelfth house could pull you into an unhealthy savior-victim dynamic, but also opens up opportunities to help others in a professional role. Relationships need to have a normal amount of give-and-take. This is also a good time for developing artistic talents as you allow subconscious material to find expression and release.

LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 – Juno's entry into your solar eleventh house this week ushers in a period when you explore other arrangements in relationships, almost like going through the a-la-carte menu at a cafeteria. You want to balance your own needs for freedom and your comfort with a more traditional ways. Best day may be Saturday night when spent chatting with friends.

VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – Juno's entry into your solar tenth house ushers in a period when you take relationships more seriously, in fact you may view it as another job. You may also begin a career in the field of managing joint resources, investments, or taxes, possibly in a family business. Best day could be Thursday when the Sun-Mercury conjunction may throw a lot of light on career matters.

LIBRA - Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – Juno's entry into your solar ninth house will probably help you find a capable advisor to guide you through legal or publishing matters. You might find that you choose someone who works in a partnership, such as a married couple who are both lawyers. This transit also spurs a hunger for new adventures and travel, so you may have to get a new passport in order. Best day may be Wednesday morning's Venus-Jupiter sextile when a career perk may be granted you.

SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 - Juno's entry into your solar eighth house this week may coincide with hidden issues coming to the surface. Scorpio always has issues related to power-sharing, trust, privacy, etc., but this transit is sure to force you to deal with them. Best day may come midday Monday when ruler Mars trines the Moon; your physical energies get recharged with an emotional lift. Also you may rather enjoy facing a worthy challenge on Friday.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – Juno's entry into your solar seventh house this week means that you increasingly insist on equitable splits of shared duties and obligations. You will have to learn to compromise and to purposely seek out the win-win solution. Best day may be Wednesday morning when ruler Jupiter makes a friendly sextile to Venus; you might make a sound investment decision in terms of a mutual fund or an annuity.

CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – The Moon begins the week in Capricorn but goes void in the wee hours; Cappy might be a bit emotionally capricious though. Juno's entry into your solar sixth house this week could bring more work activities that are done as part of a team, possibly as part of a family business. Best day of the week may be on Wednesday night when you realize the benefits that hard-won experience has given you.

AQUARIUS - Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – The Moon is in Aquarius from 1:27 pm Sunday till Tuesday afternoon. The Moon makes no aspects Sunday while in Aquarius, but midday Monday revs up your energy level; make your to-do list extra ambitious. Appointments may be broken Monday afternoon, and that could be disappointing. Work on relationships Tuesday morning, since goodwill and communications are favorable. Juno's entry into your solar fifth house brings more fun in general, more artistic creativity, and enthusiastic activities as a couple.

PISCES - Feb. 18-March 19 – The Moon is in Pisces from 2:26 pm Tuesday till Thursday afternoon. Early risers on Wednesday may find good luck on their morning stop at the convenience mart. You make productive use of Saturn energy Wednesday night by planning your summer schedule. Friday afternoon and evening are pretty frustrating and could end in an upsetting exchange with a total stranger; it might be best to leave the scene if things are obviously not congenial. Saturday dinner hour is favorable for good food and good times with relatives or neighbors. Juno's entry into your solar fourth house may call on you to be extra supportive, or even become a caregiver to a family member.

Your Milky Way Horoscope July 28 - Aug. 3, 2013

By Milky Way Maid

Venus at 7 degrees Virgo sextiles Jupiter in Cancer at 9:42 am Sunday. Kind transits between the two benefics are happy indeed. We feel more buoyant and sociable, and we may even be lucky with money. New relationships can be mutually beneficial. Investing money (Venus) in yourself is best, especially if you pay for classes in a Jupiter-related subject like law, medicine, college in general, or for a long trip. Even legal decisions can go your way.

Venus at 9 degrees Virgo trines Pluto in Capricorn at 8:50 am Tuesday. Emotional and artistic creativity can take on a much deeper intensity and power than usual. And any emotional, romantic entanglements will also be more profound. You may feel that you have truly found your soul mate.

Mars at 12 degrees Cancer squares Uranus in Aries at 11:08 pm Wednesday. Mechanical or electronic items tend to go on the fritz under this kind of transit. Have spare batteries and fuses on hand in case the fix is a simple one. Cars or engines may experience “sudden death” or merely seem to go on vacation. Since Cancer is a water sign, try not to spill liquids on computers or other electronic items. Internally, we may feel restless or rebellious without a cause. It is also possible that in cases where someone has resisted change, it may be forced upon them. You could even let loose and blast some poor hapless victim with a verbal attack – one that comes out of nowhere.

Venus at 13 degrees Virgo sextiles Mars in Cancer at 4:35 pm Friday – now there's sure to be a popular aspect to use for a nice, romantic dinner out. Good aspects between Venus and Mars raise our energies as well as our attractiveness quotient, so this favors both sports (and other physically demanding activities), and just partying and having fun. Our manners are better, too – all the better to make that new gentleman look like a white knight. Even creative efforts at home decorating are favored, plus you have the extra energy to get up on a ladder and change curtains and such.

Readers can follow not only their Sun sign horoscope but also their Ascendant for further clues to how your week will develop. NOTE: some aspects are exact on a weekend but may find opportunity for expression on the Friday or Monday nearest the exact aspect. Times given are in Eastern Standard or Eastern Daylight Savings Time depending on the season.

ARIES - March 20-April 19 – The Moon is void in Aries all day Sunday; stick to routine matters. Juno is about halfway thru your solar eleventh house; no doubt you have shown leadership in a local charity or coached a team. Friends may think you are odder and odder this past year or two, but you are following a distant drummer. You will soon realize that someone you met in the past month is just what you need in the romantic department. A family member may bring a girlfriend to dinner Friday.

TAURUS - April 20-May 20 – The Moon is in Taurus from 12:43 am Monday till midday Wednesday. Try not to let a friend get you off-track at work Monday morning. Mid-afternoon favors calls, errands or shopping. Earth signs can experience a Grand Trine from late afternoon to midday Tuesday as the Moon, Venus and Pluto swing into position; take charge of personal finances, and indulge in creative hobbies. Midday Tuesday favors chatting with a relative over lunch.

GEMINI - May 21-June 20 – The early part of the week may bring a financial boon but you have to nail it down before it slips away. The Moon is in Gemini from 11:42 am Wednesday through Friday. Wednesday night favors nothing more demanding than going to the movies. You can do your best work if you go in early on Thursday. Midday Thursday does not favor finding a coworker to help with a project. The Moon is void all day Friday in Gemini, so stick to routine matters. Especially avoid impulse spending on home décor Friday.

CANCER - June 21-July 22 – Try to leave the chip on your shoulder at home if going out Wednesday night. Thursday your cool executive ability surges to the front as Pallas in your sign trines Saturn and Neptune. The Moon is in its home, Cancer, from 12:30 am Saturday through the weekend. Saturday morning is lazy indeed, but about midday you will be determined to accomplish your to-do list. That nice buzz by supper time is the glow of meeting that goal; you might celebrate with a dinner out.

LEO - July 23-Aug. 22 – On Sunday you are challenged to explain yourself, which you do with great charm. Vesta and Ceres in your sign trine Uranus in your solar ninth; an unusual or non-mainstream personal philosophy has possibly become very important to you. You may be the focus of attention at a romantic dinner Friday night. Restrictions start to ease by the weekend, making you ready to feel the wind in your hair and cut loose.

VIRGO - Aug. 23-Sept. 22 – You may decide on brunch or shopping with a friend Sunday, although you may not find anything you want to buy. The early part of the week may see subconscious needs surface. The second half of the week may bring news of a bequest or unexpected tax or insurance bills. Friday night go with friends to a party or game. The weekend may be lucky in terms of meeting new people or winning a door prize; insist on being introduced to anyone who catches your eye. Words of affection may come from a friend over the weekend, or possibly next week.

LIBRA - Sept. 23-Oct. 22 – Your significant other may be the free spirit type who doesn't want to be tied down; however, celestial forces conspire to keep you unofficially together. The middle part of the week is stressful or should I say challenging; juggling family which is important to you, vs. career ambitions can be a real trick. On Friday night a “guardian angel” type keeps you from getting a ticket. Continued personal austerity will keep you on track with your financial goals.

SCORPIO - Oct. 23-Nov. 21 – Early in the week you decide that floundering children should perhaps see a counselor, or you contact a parenting coach; good move! Mars favors going to a game Friday night with a couple friends. Co-ruler Pluto gets a nice lift Tuesday when a friend has very nice things to say about the mystery manuscript you lent him. Be especially safety-conscious Wednesday; you may have to repair some equipment. You yearn to take a long trip, possibly with a friend or a group excursion; well, pick up some brochures.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov. 22-Dec. 21 – A raise, bonus, or other perk may be in the offing at work. Make sure children know the basics of first aid, even tho they will of course call a parent. You may actually be the hero of the week on Friday night. Sag always wants its freedom, yet with the transit of Saturn in your solar twelfth, a subconscious need for limits and boundaries will become apparent. Perhaps that is what the transits of Ceres and Vesta are about; they travel your solar ninth house, urging you to gain a personal philosophy.

CAPRICORN - Dec. 22-Jan. 19 – A final decision in your favor may come through on Tuesday. Try to clear safety hazards at home before a family member trips over cords or whatever mid-week. Pluto in your sign is inconjunct Vesta mid-week; you might toss out the very thing you really need in your life. Friday night favors a romantic dinner with your mate, possibly at a foreign-themed restaurant. Saturday your spouse may be quite intuitive, so give a listen to her thoughts.

AQUARIUS - Jan. 20-Feb. 17 – An insurance matter may be settled at the beginning of the week, with a check to possibly arrive as soon as Friday. On Tuesday, a property matter reaches a final decision; this might be family property. On Wednesday night, stick to familiar routes and streets. Early Thursday morning may be your best window to make your pitch. On Friday you try out a nice restaurant recommended by a co-worker.

PISCES - Feb. 18-March 19 – On Sunday, your mate promises to take you someplace nice for dinner; see Friday note. Your mate may receive a grant or other support from an organization Tuesday. Hope your rainy-day fund is full up, because a child may cause sudden expenses Wednesday. On Friday night, Venus favors a nice romantic dinner with your life partner. It would be well to guard your health this week and next, since Chiron in your sign is receiving powerful transits.
