This should be a standout month for your career, but home-related obligations and concerns may keep pulling at you, and at times you may not know which to give your first attention. A sterling job opportunity may come up early in June, but because of home and family concerns, you might not feel right about the timing, and for that reason might not take the offer. Let’s have a closer look.
Before we come to the new moon, Saturn (ice) is about to directly oppose the Sun (fire) on June 2. This is not a happy aspect, for Saturn puts a wet blanket over everything it touches. At that time you may be concerned over the health of a family member such as your mother or father (or both) or the health of a boss you report to at work.
Venus will arrive on the Sun’s arm at the new moon June 4, indicating you will be a popular leader, not only with VIPs, but also with the people who will report to you. Your ruler, Mercury, is in your ninth house of travel, so at the start, you might want to take a quick trip to a distant location. Soon, however, you will be consumed with details of your new and growing professional stature. Actually any kind of one-time sum of money should be generous at this date, but doubly so if you are working on a home-related project.
Not only will Saturn oppose the Sun in Gemini, but the new moon in Gemini 14 degrees as well, emphasizing to you how much you mean to everyone, in every corner of your life, and how everyone it seems is depending on you. In fact, you may also have a friend asking you for favors. This new moon in Gemini will be mixed, with a sterling lineup of planets at the very top of your chart, shining like a lighthouse in your tenth house of fame and honors. Saturn and Neptune will be the culprits here, but the score is even – points on your side and points against you. No matter what, this would be the right time to get a promotion, new position, or if self-employed, to increase business in your own company. This is certainly a fine time to promote your talents and let everyone know that you are on the rise, and ready to take on more prestigious work.
With Saturn working overtime to make the job strenuous, however, any new assignment or job title you accept now will require quite a bit of work along with long hours. Every indication is that the work you are doing now, and have been doing since August 2015, continuing to September 2016, will pay off handsomely, with not only a solid salary but also a fine bonus or commission. This all will come later, but it behooves you to put as many feelers out there now, for you are about to hit it big. If you are self-employed and investing in your business, your timing is perfect. As you see, when it comes to taking on more, or not, will not be an easy choice. You may have worked your entire life to get to this point, but now you may not be so sure the timing is ideal. You may fear, rightly, that you would be juggling a lot.
Yet Virgo is supremely organized, so if anyone can handle a superhuman schedule, it is you. If you are self-employed, consider hiring help at home and at work. I guess I am not employable by others, because if a boss told me I could not have the number of assistants I know I would need to do the job perfectly, I would just hire them out of my own money and have them sit with me in my office. Of course, I am a writer, but I would send them to do all kinds of things, like prepare FedEx boxes, clean my press list, organize files, and so forth. (I know hiring my own helpers would be a nightmare for any company. I often wonder, why would any company give a lot of responsibility to a top-level employee but give none of the proper assistance to get the job done? I see this all the time with friends who are in that kind of Catch-22 situation.)
Turning to your finances, watch for great financial news on the day Uranus beams to the Sun, June 13. You may be completely surprised at how generous the check or benefits package will be for you. If you apply for a mortgage or home improvement loan, you should be able to get it with a sensationally low interest rate. If you need furniture, you may be able to find an amazing bargain on or near June 13.
If you are talking to a VIP on or near June 17, be cognizant of the other party’s budgetary constraints. A big idea you present may simply be beyond the money that company has to fund your project. Saturn will be in hard angle to Neptune, so you can believe the person if you hear, “We don’t have much money?” Decide if you can do the project on a tight budget. The problem with a rare aspect like this one – a feature that sets 2016 apart from many other years – is that you don’t have much experience with it. If you go to another company for funding, you will hear the same response. Decide if you can slim down the project to a manageable proportion, or hold it back to shop it next year, when Saturn and Neptune will not press on you, for they will have already spun out of the aspects and gone their separate ways, and you won’t be subject to these types of budgetary constraints.
Your home will again be your prime area of attention at the full moon in Sagittarius 29 degrees on June 20, plus or minus five days. You had a full moon last month, May 21, plus or minus five days, in the same sign and area of your chart, only falling in different degrees (1 degree). Perhaps this is Part 2 of a larger home- or family-related plan. This one, falling at 29 degrees, considered an astrological degree of completion, will mark the last chapter in this saga. By July, you’ll have much more time for fun and love. Well, sort of. I have more to say about the great attention you are devoting to home and/or perhaps to your parent, which has been a near-obsession since the start of March of this year.
You need a little relief form all this emphasis on home and family, and you are about to get it, instantly. To heighten June and July’s fun, Mars’ move backward, out of your home and family sector (fourth house), on May 27 to your third house of quick, near travel will be a blessing. This will give you some relief from these matters, for Mars is not due to return until August 2. Now Mars, the energy planet will be urging you to travel and enjoy yourself for two full moons. While it is true that your interest and concentration on home and family concerns will return, this area will only press on you from the start of August through September 27. The eclipses on September 1 in Virgo and on September 16 in Pisces may help you make decisions and swing into action soon after. (Mercury will retrograde again next from August 30 to September 22, so hold back then.)
The month will end on a romantic, glamorous note. We have a very rare aspect coming up between Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, in your first house of your personality and desires dear to you, and Pluto in your house of true love. Jupiter will be in perfect angle to Pluto in your fifth house so matters of love, romance, pregnancy, birth, and care for children, and will be elegantly aspected and provide great opportunity to you. This same solar fifth house also rules your creativity and imagination, and all the steps you take to create projects that are truly original. Again, in respect to your creative output, you’ll be on fire, dear Virgo.
This aspect happened twice recently, when Pluto was “trine” Jupiter on November 26, 2015 (that was Thanksgiving Day last year for Americans) and on March 16. Look back at your email to see what types of discussions you were having at the time – one of those should take off like a rocket in time. Indeed, something you did on those days that you might feel was a nice opportunity but nothing special may now grow like Alice in Wonderland did when she drank the tiny bottle that said “Drink me” – her arms and legs grew so fast, they went right out the windows of the little house she found herself in.
Plant a seed on June 26 or 27, and watch it grow in time (maybe not as fast as Alice did, but fast in the scheme of things). Actually wait until after Mars goes direct on June 29. These two planets move so infinitesimally slowly that you can afford to wait a few days for Mars to catch up. For any competitive situation where you want to shine, you want to have Mars moving in strong, sure orbit, direct!
Before I go, let’s talk about another glittering aspect on June 26, which will spill into Monday, June 27. You will do best when Venus is circulating in Cancer, from June 17 to July 12, for Venus in a water sign blends so well with your earth-sign element. You are fortunate too that sexy Mars will be in Scorpio, another water sign, and will coax you to take a quick vacation or, at the very least, flee town on weekends.
One of your best weekends of the month will be June 25-26, when the transiting moon will be in water sign Pisces, and Venus and Neptune will be in gorgeous, sparkling angles, bringing glamour and romance that might just take your breath away.
