Reach out to the world
Deep breath. Start your engine. You have three weeks to beat your own personal best as a traveller, student of life, explorer of ideas and international woman/man of mystery. You’ve been pulled this way repeatedly since last year but this is the big finish. Why? Because the patterns in your astrological chart have kept you in a state of suspended animation. Yet you have not wasted anything, as every single piece of good karma you earned (even years ago) will now return to you. Late May was full of possibility and switched-on Librans went for it – across the country or across the world.
Now keep the momentum going, as the New Moon in Gemini on Saturday 8th June is so useful and when the Sun joins Jupiter on Wednesday 19th there is a big rewards for having ploughed in time, energy, faith and hope with more to come right up until Tuesday 25th June. This is a grand finale for Jupiter in the last stages of his cycle and you would be crazy to pass up the final round of opportunities. No matter how accomplished you already are I terms of Europe, Australasia, America or more exotic locations and cultures, there is always more. No matter how much you have achieved on the internet, in publishing, in self-development or academia – you can always go higher. Right people, right time, right place. Just gather all the strands together and act as if you can’t fail – as if it’s pre-ordained that this should come together beautifully. It very well may – and on a scale even you hadn’t fully expected.
Huge success by 2014
Your horoscope cannot force you to be successful but if you want to achieve big things in a new field, or pull off something you dare not even hope for, start small and start now. The path is being cleared and between August and Christmas. However allow for changes, delays or complications at the start.
Do be aware that Mercury is shadow retrograde in June so you may prefer to have Plan B or alternatives – or even wait until August to fully commit. The outlook is excellent but there may be a wobbly situation if you rush it; try to either read the fine print or have some back-ups available. This strongly applies to contracts, new jobs, awards, ambitious business plans and so on. Mercury is the messenger of the gods and when he is shadow retrograde, he fools most people (including some astrologers!) It may seem as if the news is going to stick, and the letters will arrive, and the advertisement is watertight, and the discussions will hold and the signatures are a commitment. Be savvy, though. It really helps to have a safety net under your brand new feel good factor. If you can allow for a wobbly situation until the first week of August, though, you can maintain the faith about your dazzling new future and still come up smiling. Minimal hassles.
If you are signing or in negotiations before August, allow for news or ‘commitments’ which may change shape after Monday 10th June, when the planet of communication, information and negotiation goes shadow retrograde. Play ping-pong with the person or company in question and keep smiling.
Your friends, your tribe
You’ll have co-operation and collaboration in a remarkably tribal and social cycle which is warming up as you read this. Venus moves into Leo from Thursday 27th June so this becomes a win-win situation for you and this man or woman. The conjunction from Venus to Ceres in Leo on Sunday 30th June lets you know that compromise is essential. A feeling of emotional entitlement and the inability to let go, may characterise one particular person – or even the tribe as a whole. That’s par for the course with a Ceres transit, but as you are on track with this friend or group throughout August too, you need to make sure the map is good to go, straight from the start. In other words, do not set up any situation with this person/these people where ‘I’m not being taken seriously’ or ‘Take this seriously’ becomes the thought balloon in the room. You, he, she or they are going to have to share in order to make the most of this long-running cycle, when it’s very simply about collaboration, co-operation and negotiation.
Your tribal involvement – social media, social life, social acquaintances – is enormously important on a karmic level in the middle of 2013 as everything you do and say creates a notch in someone else’s soul!
Work or health escape routes
The Saturn-Neptune trine will allow you to take both feet off the ground and escape into Never-Never Land thanks to some aspect of your daily workload – no matter if you are a professional, a student, self-employed or a volunteer. The role or task is rather like a spa or a sanctuary. Plunge in but remember to return to the real world when it’s time or you may find yourself treading water in a weird kind of unreality.
This also applies to your health and your physical body. What you eat, put into your system and drink. How you use your body. In a few cases, the medical side of your existence too. However this cycle is manifesting for you, just remember non-reality and unreality are characteristic as Neptune symbolises the great escape. You can see why this would be an issue if it goes too far and if your physical body is becoming a container for something best described as a way out! So just be aware. That’s all your horoscope provides anyway – über awareness.
