In the Stars for June
The transiting Sun is in the air sign Gemini. This sign lends the energy for communications, thinking and networking. Gemini is a social air sign which stirs up the energy for excitement through curiosity, intellectual pursuits are strengthened and are more likely to be imaginative and find ourselves restless to pursue new avenues.
Gemini Sun natives are witty, intellectual and fascinating with their mental brilliance. They see both sides to everything and are likely to be changeable, adaptable and talkative. Gemini is ruled by Mercury which makes them able to turn and shift quickly as does Mercury. This is the sign of the twins, Castor and Pollux; they represent two sides of one personality. They are adaptable people who love to communicate and entertain many ideas in a fun and entertaining way. Witty, versatile, logical, inquisitive and spontaneous is how these folks bring on their charm. However they can be nervous, restless, superficial and inconsistent. This can make them appear elusive though they try to stay grounded. Happy Birthday Gemini!

The Last Quarter Moon occurs June 9th in the mystical water sign Pisces. A time to dream, imagination is stirred and we can sense the spiritual side of our nature. Our sensitivity to music and other intangible forces can make us too emotional and susceptible to self-sacrificing tendencies. This can be a time to withdraw from the harsh world and develop compassion. The last quarter moon is a good time to finish projects and clear your space.
