Gemini New Moons are favorable for anything involving communication, the media, transportation, commerce, your neighborhood, or activities that involve siblings or relatives. Dexterity and flexibility—as well as multi-tasking—may come more easily.

New Moon, 16 Gemini 16, Monday, June 6, 2005 at 2:56 PM PDT .

This is an auspicious time for initiating action that has to do with learning, communication, commerce, transportation, movement, or variety. Perhaps it is time for a new course of study. You may be ready to start a commercial venture or to hone writing or speaking skills. A new chapter with relatives is possible. Versatility is accented; you could engage in a variety of pursuits and develop several talents further. This New Moon could be significant for people born around June 5-10, December 7-11, September 7-12, or March 6-10.

Mercury enters Cancer, Saturday, June 11, 2005 at 00: 04 AM PDT .

When the planet of thinking and communication enters the sign of domesticity, our minds turn to family matters. We may be more concerned with emotional (and physical) security. Discussions with our nearest and dearest rank high on the priority list. Silence is often used as a protective measure. (If you don’t say anything, you can’t get hurt—or won’t be as vulnerable.) Safety first is featured in regard to commercial concerns.

Mars enters Aries, Saturday, June 11, 2005 at 7:31 PM PDT .

While Mercury suggests a note of caution, Mars’ entry into Aries urges “Full Speed Ahead!” The emphasis is on action and independence. People are willing to take risks and want to be pioneers and break new ground. Self-directed pursuits have high appeal.

Saturn is sesqui-quadrate Uranus, Saturday, June 11, 2005 at 8:25 PM PDT .

Restlessness is probable. When the planet of conventionality and rigid structures is at odds with the planet of revolution, change, and new directions, people often feel torn between the old and the new, traditions and progress, breaking the rules and following them. Mars (see above) votes with Uranus while Mercury in Cancer votes with Saturn. It’s a tough call for those trying to balance all these competing urges!

Uranus turns retrograde, Tuesday, June 14, 2005 at 3:39 PM PDT .

A new phase is likely in regard to technology, friends, humanitarian causes, or anything a bit unusual or different. You may start a new chapter in matters of the house that has Aquarius on its cusp. This cycle is likely to last until mid-November when Uranus turns direct.

Emotional matters move up on the priority list. Feeling close and connected to loved ones is important. Ego and self-esteem are tied to domestic concerns, safety, and familiar (or familial) routines. Nurturing or care-taking duties may become more central.

Full Moon, 0 Capricorn 51, Tuesday, June 21, 2005 at 9:15 PM PDT .

The Full Moon points to a time for balancing polarities. The seesaw feelings here range between outer-world accomplishments and private, domestic concerns. You may feel torn between career and family, dominance and dependency, stern authority and compassionate nurturing, or competing parental needs (as a parent and to our own parents). The best resolution is a focus on safety and practical achievements in both work and home. This Full Moon could be significant for people born around December 21-25, June 19-25, September 22-25, or March 20-24.

Mercury enters Leo, Monday, June 27, 2005 at 9:02 PM PDT .

With the planet of thinking and communications entering the dramatic, showy sign of Leo, publicity and promotional endeavors are the order of the month. Pompous pronouncements are possible—but so are dramatic gestures and super sales ability. People may be quite persuasive and magnetic in how they convey information.

Venus enters Leo, Monday, June 27, 2005 at 10:54 PM PDT .

Love has a capital “L” now! Grand, romantic gestures are probable. A little extravagance is quite possible. The urge to be generous toward loved ones is strong. Recreation, creativity, entertainment, and having fun with loved ones is highlighted. Love may be demonstrated in a larger-than-life style.
