my astrological forecast for june 2006

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)

Your June Horoscope by Susan Miller


This month, a long-standing relationship will become the center of your focus. It appears you are thinking most about one personal, romantic relationship but alternatively, you might be trying to work out a business relationship. It appears that certain realities can no longer be ignored, and that you will have to come up with a more realistic plan for the future.

You may be faced with one of two scenarios.

The most probable situation is that you have not been getting along with your partner over the past year, and no matter what you have done to work things out, it seems almost nothing has helped.

If you are still together this month, despite past problems, you may have more challenges on the way. Now that Mars will enter your seventh house for a seven-week stay, you are likely to be faced with quite a bit of criticism. Mars' job is to bring up hidden resentments and to create a deeper level of honesty between two people.

Actually, lots of people in your life will have "helpful hints" for you in June and July, and although this will be annoying, you may actually benefit from something that one person says to you that never occurred to you before.

If you still love your partner and you suspect your partner wants to continue the relationship too, you may both decide to go into counseling. Or, if you feel you've talked enough, this month you may decide to separate or break up entirely, most likely by the end of July.

Love and other relationships are always a see-saw, and only when the downside predominates for an extended period of time do we feel a need to act. For some that could be a trial separation, while for others, a complete breakup.

Still, perception can be changeable, so keep an open mind if you feel you have any hope of staying together. With Mars in your seventh house, all sorts of truths are likely to surface. When your partner does voice a long-held grievance, you may find yourself saying, "I had no idea you felt that way!"

In the other possible scenario, it could be that you have been getting along beautifully as a couple, but it might be that your partner may have been dealing with a very stressful life situation. For example, your partner could have lost her or his job, started a new business, or lost a beloved parent. Or, your partner may be in the process of a residential move or has had to battle a serious illness. Any of these types of problems would rate a "10" on the pressure scale. If this is how Saturn's presence has asserted itself, you will be called on to help support your partner in a meaningful way.

If you are worried about the health or wellbeing of your partner, it may take some time for your beloved to come out of the woods - you can expect September 2007 to be the time. After that date, you seem less concerned with this situation. Sometimes it is helpful to know the end point.

In fewer cases - but still possible - it may be YOU that has been facing a terribly difficult life problem, like one of the ones listed above, and that you find almost no support from your partner (or anyone else for that matter). Dear Aquarius, I truly hope this is not the case for you.

With Saturn in the same seventh house of partnership, any remedy you come up with will take time to work out. Saturn won't leave this part of your chart until September 2007.

However, if you have a January birthday or one that falls in very early February, you are due to get relationship relief soon. You are nearly halfway through your Saturn cycle, as Saturn first entered this house in July 2005 and will leave next year. Saturn is not intent on hurting your feelings but rather will bring life lessons through relationships. A close tie brings both privileges and obligations, and these days you are probably very mindful of that reality.

For some, the lesson is to give more, for others, to ask for more. We are taught to love and give freely, which is the right thing to do, but we also need to expect loving feelings back. If you feel you have not been treated the way you expected, you will encounter relationship problems sooner or later.

Things won't likely reach a critical stage for early-born Aquarius (those with January birthdays) until the end of next month. That's when you will announce a plan, on the new moon July 25 and the days that follow.

If you are single and have no close romantic relationship, nor any business alliance that might apply, you won't feel this trend that I just described.

In that case, let's look at YOUR romantic prospects now. If you are single, you have two exciting cosmic developments in June that could change your single status by helping you find that special someone you'd like to know better.

The first aspect actually already arrived late last month, May 27, the new moon in your fifth house of true love. If you had hoped to meet new romantic partners, that new moon would be your friend. A new moon will always bring two weeks of powerful energy.

If you are attached and want a baby, that new moon of May 27 will work to help you conceive. If you are serious about having a baby, have a talk with your partner and doctor (if you have been having problems). You will need to act very soon!

If you were you born on January 24, or within five days of this date, you will benefit through all the activities of that new moon that appeared on May 27.

The second upbeat development for all Aquarius in the love department will be the move of Venus into Gemini. This will be a fabulous placement for you, to extend from June 23 until July 18.

Gemini rules your solar fifth house of true love, so Venus will give you a kind of alluring charm that will allow you to draw others easily to you. Everything about Venus is always silky and smooth - unlike Mars, which is feisty and sometimes even belligerent - you will see that finding new people will suddenly become much easier! Of course, you will have to do your part! Look your very best and be out there! Gemini is the sign of twins, so you may find TWO new people to date, all at once!

The full moon on the weekend of June 10 - 11 will be a humdinger, for it will be quite social. It earns four stars from me! This weekend should put you in the center of many happy people with a very festive event. You might go to a wedding, graduation party, reunion, or other fabulous party. Or, you may visit an amusement park or baseball game.

Venus will be in fine form over that weekend, sending your ruler, Uranus, a happy missive on Saturday, June 10. Neptune will be in gorgeous angle to the Sun too, adding to the lyrical, poetic tone of the weekend. Look at the invitations you receive - if it is for June 10 or 11, it is a "must do!"

I should also add that the full moon technically falls on June 11, but you may feel the results as early as June 7 and as late as June 15.

If you were born on or within five days of February 9, you will benefit most from this full moon.

Your best date nights include June 10, 11, 12, 23, and 24.

It will also be very important to take good care of your health too, as Saturn is probably draining you of quite a bit of energy. Dear Aquarius, get as much sleep as you can! If necessary, see a doctor, as you may be anemic or simply in dire need of extra sleep. (This is a very common occurrence when Saturn is opposed to the Sun, which was operative in the second half of 2005 and all of 2006, and will be during most of 2007.)

While you are busy having your medical tests, you might want a bone scan too, as you may be suffering from too little calcium. The latter is fairly easy for your doctor to solve, if you should find this to be true for you. Finally, you should also check in with a dentist, as there could be problems with teeth. I know - I will stop! Enough about Saturn!

Financially, you may have a tough day coming on June 5, plus or minus one day. On that day, the Sun and Uranus will be at odds - it may cheer you to know just about everyone will have some sort of jolting news, in some area of their life, on this day. Yours will be purely financial.

Someone or something seems to cause a black hole to appear in your budget, and naturally, you won't be one bit happy about it. It's something you would not be able to protect yourself from, as it will come up unexpectedly. It's possible that you will need to spend far more than you intended on socializing or even on a dear little child. (If it's for your child, well, it probably will be worth it!)

A day that will counter this one will come one week later, on Monday, June 12. On this day Mercury and Uranus will work beautifully together, and that will add up to one amazing day for financial success. If you are self-employed, the phone is sure to ring off the hook for your services! Self-employed or not, this is a day that is likely to bring superb financial news.

It will be vital that you work quickly and efficiently this month. Keep two things in mind. First, Uranus, your ruler, is about to go retrograde on June 19, to stay in that mode five months, until November 20.

From June 19 onward, you will do best by centering your attention on projects and people you have already have in your life. After November 20, you can resume your pioneering efforts in new territory.

As humans, we usually like to hear about everything that is new, but with Uranus retrograde, the new areas aren't going to be where the golden nugget lies - it's in the associations and projects that lie in your past or present (but not future). Go back to old projects and polish them up. November 2006 will be your most exciting career month of the year, and the projects you are working on now will be examined closely then, when you are up for your big, prestigious new job! Do your best!

There is another reason to work quickly in the start of June and to have everything wrapped up and shipped out soon. Next month, Mercury will be retrograde from July 4 to 29, and that will create many slowdowns in July.

You will be confronted with indecisive people and many reasons to redo work you've already handed in, echoing a theme that Uranus will begin a little earlier, from June 19 onward. Still, you will have the time to make the project more viable and professional, and as said, everything you are doing is about to count for something big later in the year.

Home is also about to get a big boost. With Venus moving through your residential and property sector from the start of the month until June 23, you'll feel like making changes to make your space look more current and stylish.

Good idea - doing so will be great therapy while you work out relationship dilemmas going on in the background. Little improvements may make a big difference too: Your closet may need reorganization, or the walls a new coat of paint, or your bed may need to be upgraded with crisp new linens and new goose down pillows. Apply your decorating skills during the first ten days of June, when your ideas will be strongest.

Insofar as your career is concerned, you are still riding high! Indeed, this year is turning out to be one of your very best! Each month you become even more golden to higher ups, and you have batted one home run right after another!

This month, you have Jupiter, glittering at the very pinnacle point in your chart, filling your house of honors, awards, and achievement. Jupiter is the planet of good luck and happiness and will beam an important ray to Uranus, now in your house of earned income, and to Mercury, planet of news, now in your house of new work assignments. This sets up a gorgeous, lucky situation for you, for work assignments / money earned / and success and applause achieved will all be linked! You are about to wow the powers that be!

On top of this you have a new moon, June 25, so that's when the pace at the office will pick up quite a bit. All sorts of changes could take place - a new assignment, new recruits, or a move into a new office. Pay special attention to all that you do now, for you seem to have captured the eye of the big VIP or client, and you are being groomed for even more!

This same new moon, June 25, would be excellent for getting into better shape. Start your new workout routine on or just after June 25 and in the two weeks that follow that date. If you do, you'll have designed a routine that you'll enjoy for the rest of the year. It's exciting to see results, so ask your trainer for advice on a program that she feels will work best for you.

The month will end on a VERY happy note, thanks to a beam between good fortune planet Jupiter and the mighty Sun on Friday, June 30. Your creativity will be lauded on that day, or the day before that (June 29), and you'll rightly be proud of what develops. If you've been waiting for the green light on a proposal for a creative venture, this would be the day it would likely come through. You may get some amazing publicity, too! Expect the BEST!

Summary

A long-standing relationship seems to be a source of woe, but you appear to be quite determined to make it work nevertheless. While your loyalty is admirable, be sure the person you seem to be so focused on deserves your undying support.

Things may reach the height of frustration as you edge closer to mid-month and the meeting of Mars and Saturn on June 18. This relationship appears to be romantic in nature, but not necessarily so - it could be your agent, publicist, or other business partner / collaborator who is causing you angst. How you handle things will determine your relationship's future.

If you have no romantic or business partnership in your life, you may not feel the effects of what I have described this month in your report, but you will notice that most people will need to be convinced of the merits of whatever you are presenting - more so than usual. You may also be given more criticism, but try to take it all with the thought that maybe you will learn something you can use.

A big social event appears to be on your agenda over the weekend of the full moon, June 10 and 11 - it should be glorious! With Venus sending a wink to surprise-a-minute Uranus (the planet that rules your sign), you will have no trouble being the belle of the ball. The full moon will bring you in contact with many loving friends and allow you to enjoy a bit of luxurious pampering. Wear something you feel very good in, for all eyes will be on you. This event might be industry-oriented, but even so, while you raise your standing, you'll still have a lot of fun doing so!

You will also benefit from the tour of Venus through Gemini, in your house of fun and love from June 23 for approximately four weeks. It's a great time to go out and see what the world has to offer. If there is any sign that deserves to have a LOT more fun, it's YOU!

On June 23, your office life will beat to a quicker tempo. You may get a new assignment, or you may be approved to hire helpers. You may even get new computers or software to make your job easier. Something about your main working area appears to be improving. Do a good job because what you do will have "legs" to position you for an even better job in November.

Creatively you will hit a high point on June 29 or 30 when Jupiter and the Sun collaborate to help you turn out an idea or finished product that will get you much kudos.

As you see, while you are likely to see relationship turbulence this month, you also will have lots of good aspects working for you too, especially in the career realm. And although money may bring jarring news on June 5, it is likely to bring great news on June 12.

Keep moving forward, dear Aquarius. You are a true example of grace under pressure. You have inspired many people around you and you are becoming stronger with each passing day. All the work you are doing in your life now will add up to a happier life later.
