For All Signs
The summer solstice comes at 3:11pm EDT on the 21st. This is the point of the year at which the northern hemisphere is tilted closest to the sun, so it is also theoretically the longest day of the year. For centuries, pagans (country people) celebrated this day with prayers and requests for blessings from mother earth, who would soon yield the summer harvests. Take a moment to give honor and thanks to the trees, which are weakening in their battle against our pollution. Aries
Now is the time to tackle a major physical project of home renovation. You have excess energy that needs to be directed toward a project that requires the use of your large muscles. This activity must have a highly personalized stamp on it.
Taurus
You have a weakness for things which are beautiful and/or comfortable. If you also have financial concerns, it would be best to leave credit cards at home this week. Don’t purchase based on promises of career growth. Love life looks fun and favorable.
Gemini
It would be ideal if you have a vacation planned for this time, because your mind wants to wander and play. Beauty has a strong appeal right now. There is emphasis on communications, particularly with a lover, or your children, or your partner.
Cancer
You may remember this period as the time when your whole life turned around. Long-term efforts involving the law, education, publishing, or travel may finally yield the results for which you have been working. Suddenly you are free to pursue new things in your life.
Leo
During this period you may benefit from the misfortunes of another, or through insurance, inheritance, your partner’s resources, or retirement funds. Your career is becoming tiresome and you may be seeing a workable way out now or in the near future.
Virgo
In some way you are on stage or out in front at this time. Your aspects are highly favorable for the outcome. There are those who will ask hard questions, but if you remain true to yourself and are honest with the querists, you have the right answers.
Libra
You may be involved in an important educational process, a speaking engagement, or travel this week. You are likely to meet an unusual number of new people and will expand your life territory. These days we can expand via computer, and do not necessarily have to travel in person.
Scorpio
You are bursting with creative energy which you can apply to love life, a business venture, involvement with children, or your personal interests. You may be looking seriously at increased travel for business, or an educational goal. Your energy is high and should be channeled productively.
Sagittarius
This is a particularly good period for probing the depths of yourself and communicating with another about issues in your relationship. The down side of this aspect is that you may be tempted to engage in a mental battle over who is right, which is not the point at all.
Capricorn
For several months you have been giving issues of partnership serious thought. Those in a long-term relationship have a deep need to renovate your sense of purpose in order to maintain it. At this point you do not want to waste your time on frivolous activity or people.
Aquarius
This would be a great week for a vacation, but even if you are at home, it will probably be fun. You are in an unusually creative mode and likely will be drawn to make something of beauty. Relationships with children and/or lovers will be a joy, but you can be quite happy all by yourself.
Pisces
You and others could be shocked by your need to break free of whatever has become old and outdated in your life. This time could herald the beginning of a freshly budding career move or a major change in social life. Your temptation is to overthrow whatever or whoever feels tiresome.
