For All Signs On June 10 at 7:46pm EDT, we will have an annular eclipse of the sun. This eclipse will be visible in the US, with a narrow ring of the sun circling the dark moon in the middle. Eclipse seasons serve to punctuate the energies already in motion. For many months the Critic has been unusually powerful, whether directed toward others or heard as blame from an inner voice. This eclipse intensifies the magnitude of those toxic communications. Suspect messages (inner or outer) that predict catastrophic and no-win outcomes. It is imperative that we vigilantly maintain calm and hold to a tranquil attitude. Dark expectations can generate negative consequences. Hope opens the doorway to solutions.
Aries A painful experience of the past may reemerge in a different form this week. It is important to seek out what can be learned rather than react with knee-jerk fashion. Don’t fight it. Talk, think, search for understanding and a healing message to carry into the future. Transportation may be unreliable during this period. Allow time to generate a backup plan.
Taurus The full picture should now be apparent concerning all your resources, which includes energy, money, property, and supporters. Many of you have sustained financial damage in the past year. Don’t waste energy in self-flagellation. Now is the time to assess what you have and make a step-by-step plan to move forward toward attainable goals.
Gemini You are gearing up to begin a new life project that will offer you structure and definition for a long time to come. Keep in mind that it doesn’t have to be accomplished immediately. In fact, if you don’t pace yourself in the beginning, you are liable to burn out before you reach the finish line. Long term goals need a firmly rooted foundation. Take your time and lay bricks carefully.
Cancer You are in the mood to take matters into your own hands and press for your points. You may be provoked by another to react in ways that don’t reflect your usual kind approach. Although tensions are high, do the best you can to talk things over and try to find a win-win answer to problems. Old issues that have left unhealed resentment may be replayed. A new response may bring a fresh solution.
Leo Relationships are tricky and fraught with potential battles of will. If it is impossible to talk with dignity about an issue, you might want to set it aside for the next few days. You could say things that you would regret later and they probably won’t promote ultimate resolution. Everyone is too emotionally involved. Step aside from confrontations now.
Virgo Issues that have been hanging in the air related to career and family are at last beginning to take some shape. Even though all the details are not aligned, at least you have a better sense of the direction of things. Some of you are changing careers altogether, and maybe even localities as well. Others are letting go of pain from life history that has kept you bound. Renewal is on the horizon.
Libra In the past year you may have borne losses in the territories of education, church, legal concerns, or activities involving business from a distance. But you have learned a great deal in the process. And even now you are beginning to rebuild from the ashes. You still have much to offer and the opportunity to make a new creation in any of these areas is upon you.
Scorpio You could become embroiled in a battle of wills with someone who mainly wants to wield power. Your strongest ally and best asset is to maintain a squeaky clean ethical position and remain absolutely professional and dignified. Don’t drop even one notch below that stance, no matter how low your opponent stoops. Contemplate reorganizing finances, but wait a few weeks for serious moves.
Sagittarius It may seem as though many of the players in your life’s drama have resorted and reorganized themselves. They aren’t quite finished yet, so you still can’t know the final outcome. Patience, which is not one of your many virtues, is required. Have you ever watched a hawk? They sit quietly and watch intently. They never expend effort until the time is exactly right.
Capricorn It’s time for fresh starts in more than one area of life. Take a look at your daily health routine and decide now where you want to be in six months. Hold to reasonable expectations and design a plan. The need for changes in other routines has also become apparent. Plan, organize details and begin. You may be a target for someone’s displaced anger. Set clear boundaries and hold them firmly.
Aquarius The drama of this eclipse season is tied to the life sector of children, creative enterprises, and love affairs. You could very well be seeing a change in direction in each of these areas. Carefully paced self-discipline is necessary and that should be apparent. The changes you want require effort and planning to obtain the best possible results. Give the current plan six months and then review.
Pisces Your overall life picture may look significantly different than it did roughly a year ago. You have fewer possessions to drag behind you. Some have seen big changes in career and/or family life. It is a lot to absorb. By the end of the summer you will have completed adjustments, unloaded any remaining unnecessary baggage and should be prepared to begin a new life story.
