Gemini's itchy urgency

Can there be too much of a good thing?”  Say no, because we’re heading into three insightful, expansive events this week.  Right on the heels of Jupiter’s generous overindulgence last week.  It’s all adding up to one profitable grand slam coming on July 17th (mark your calendars!).  

Spyglasses, black cloak, and a determined concentration on ferreting out secrets is your modus operandi right now.  Like a detective with a nikon camera, your analysis of underlying forces gives you a peek at the future.  Particularly sharp Monday.  

Venus moves into the nurturing home of Cancer Sunday, on her way to uniting a golden triangle of stable relationships, sixth-sense encounters, and aesthetic sensitivity that culminates this Friday.  

The Gemini New Moon at 8:58 AM, PDT, this Saturday is buzzing with ideas and how to express them clearly.  Random shots of genius make flybys, more dazzling that the Blue Angels.

♡ Date Night:  Venus and Mars

Mars is still looking for a stimulating adventure, but Venus would rather stay in for a cozy evening and home cooking.  A bridge is built between you and your partner by Friday’s New Moon which brings a heightened exchange of energy.  It’s the stuff a mind meld is made of.  Can you read his mind?

The Force of curiosity is with you.

Here’s your horoscope for the week of June 2-8, 2013:

(★ Astrology Wonks see bottom of page)

Aries ♈ (March 20-April 19)

The goddess of love brings you a maternal sense of relating, complete with more sensitivity all around.  You may find yourself a little out of synch with those who are trying to communicate with you, either because you are not where you usually are or following your normal schedule, or because they aren’t.  Even so, you’ve got flashes of Einstein inventing new ways of solution based thinking.  

Taurus ♉ (April 20-May 20)

Your Taurus gift for caution is going to be well used this week.  Situations arise in which no compromise will work, you simply have to walk away.  Even so, you’ll find you’re in just the right place at just the right time. Instinct and inspiration are the keywords this week, without much attention to reality, but allowing you to accumulate some valuable information.  You may be handsomely rewarded for your advice.  Enjoy your ability to create beautiful dreams (coming true by July 20th!).   Get out your camera, or take some dance lessons.  On Monday the goddess of love enters the home sweet home sign of Cancer.  Time to re-decorate and beautify your surroundings.  

Gemini ♊ (May 21-June 20)

Saturday’s New Moon in your sign colors your whole week in think, think, think!  Racing thoughts and cerebral overindulgence will make it hard to find the words fast enough to communicate your ideas.  But juggling innovations is easy for you, and knowing how to organize them for effective use.  With Warrior Mars and Jovial Jupiter added to the Sun/Moon in Gemini, you have a power potential to introduce change in your life and others.  Take advantage of every opportunity.  

Cancer ♋ (June 21-July 21)

You’ve never looked better or been more creative! For the next four weeks you have the graceful and artful blessing of Venus on all that you do, including making money.  The force of your ideas and communications may be so strong this week that it’s hard to hear anything but your own thoughts.  Flashes of inspiration are coming so fast that it’s hard to find the right words.  This makes it easy for others to misunderstand what you say.  Just don’t let other people attempt to stifle or manipulate your efforts at self-expression.

Leo ♌ (July 22-August 22)

Are your investments paying off?  Lots of talking heads and stimulating conversations this week, and you’re motivated to get to the bottom line.  You’re building toward material rewards for your hard work and experience, which will occur just before your birthday.  But there’s a but; expect lots of discussion and the need for clarification, over and over.  Saturday’s New Moon heightens your emotional intelligence.  Value it.

Virgo ♍ (August 23-September 22)

People may feel like pouring their hearts out to you this week, but they’ll have trouble telling you their secrets.  As you get a light shone on what’s holding them back, it will also show you alternative solutions that you may have missed.  You clearly see the value of love based on mutual commitment.  Remember you’re digging deep.  You’re intense, and never superficial.  This earns you a position of greater authority where others can benefit your maturity and organizational skills. Dream a better world.

Libra ♎ (September 23-October 22)

So much intellectual material is flying around your head that you’re not sure what to take in, or what to take personally, or what is a global generalization.  Lots or room for misinterpretations.  Double check and repeat yourself. The twin energies of a Gemini Moon paired with a Gemini Sun this Saturday produce enormous curiosity that will open new spaces in your mind. Scientific investigative techniques, and some gentle interrogation, link your perception to a spiritual awareness of how to make your dreams come true.  Head in the heavens sweet Libra, but feet on the ground.

Scorpio ♏  (October 23-November 21)

There’s likely to be a significant change or transition in the way you think about your home and family.  You’re looking for greater personal power and control by excavating some serious material from Pluto’s underworld; beliefs and memories.  This is the stuff dreams are made of.  You’re developing your spiritual craftsmanship with a unique precision. Originality and attention to detail are gifts right now, and paving a farsighted road to material success.  You’re gonna reap all the spiritual gems that you sow by July 20th.  Seriously, it’s your time.  It’s your turn.

Sagittarius ♐ (November 22-December 20)

Nobody’s inclined to share their secret recipes this week, including you.  Communications are plentiful, but know that some information is being kept behind the scenes.  Curiosity, spurred by Saturday’s New Moon in Gemini, leads you to new areas of exploration, which leads you to innovative ideas and multiple ways to use them.  Yes, multi-tasking is involved, but without its usual clumsiness!  You’ll feel clever, because in fact you are.

Capricorn ♑ (December 21-January 19)

It may be difficult to pinpoint where or why, but all week you’ll feel the world is pushing back at you when you try to express yourself.  So play Sherlock Holmes.  Look in the hidden spaces.  There’ll be quite a bit of intensity in the way you think and communicate.  You may inadvertently mislead someone, or someone will mislead you.  This will affect your relationships, particularly with family.  Be curious.  Be a sleuth.

Aquarius ♒ (January 20-February 17)

You may search in earnest, but still come up with the wrong information.  It’s as if you’re up against someone who’s protecting a secret.  It just isn’t the best time for easy communication, or for you famous free thinking.  But hang on because Saturday’s New Moon, new beginnings, is a farmer’s market of fresh ingredients for your dreams--new ones.  Watch them come true by July 20th!

Pisces ♓  (February 18-March 19)

This is a tricky time, even though luck is on your side.  If you find you’re obsessively ruminating about past mistakes, either yours or others, be firm or you’ll lock yourself in in a no-win debate.  You may be very right, but it won’t make you happy!  Even if someone tempts you into a contest of wills, just go around them.  Nothing will be gained in confrontation (not your favorite thing anyway!).  The veil of illusions cast by Neptune in your sign is lifting as you encounter your past.  You’re emerging with a stronger sensitivity to beauty, art, and your potential as a healer.
