Gemini
The Twins (May 20 — June 21)
Please note the lead paragraph because it particularly applies to you this week. Your focus of attention will shift over the weekend to matters of self esteem and issues concerning finances. Material reality will have a priority over the next few weeks.
For All Signs Mercury, ancient messenger god, is unusually busy throughout this week. This suggests that most of us will be preoccupied with communication such as phone calls, messages, letters, quick conversations, rapid decisions, and/or papers to write. The period is favorable for probing into causes and finding the bottom line to any matter. Beware of the tendency to jump to conclusions or act before all the facts are clear.
Aries Mechanical items in your life are subject to breakage early this week and your temper may be short. On June 3 your mood brightens and attention shifts to matters concerning children, play, romance and recreation for the next few weeks.
Taurus Beware of a tendency to be hypercritical of yourself or loved ones this week. You may be feeling withdrawn due to emotional pain from a past or a present situation. Don’t isolate yourself. Loved ones want to help.
Cancer Mercury travels rapidly through your sign between June 3 and the 27th. There will likely be greater emphasis on communications, errands and other short distance travels. A decision is pending because your mind says one thing while your heart says another. Set it aside until next week.
Leo Mars, the original god of war, enters your sign this week and will be traveling with you for seven weeks. This energy is best used to handle physically heavy projects or take initiatives that you might not otherwise tackle. Focus the energy productively so it won’t run away with you.
Virgo See the lead paragraph for material that pertains to you this week. You are finishing a work project and making a minor shift of work gears into new territory. Your next task involves focus on communications with friends, acquaintances and building your community network.
Libra Be vigilant concerning your overall attitude now. You may be seeing whatever happens as worse than it really is. That is because of past circumstances which left a scar. Debts or taxes may be of concern at this time. Focus attention on how to whittle down those troubles.
Scorpio Give a lover plenty of space this week. Your temper runs a bit short. Near the 3rd your attention shifts toward career and life direction. Activity in the outer world picks up speed. Use this increased energy to improve your product or your presentation.
Sagittarius One or more relationships with coworkers, employees or renters may seem strained and may strike you as a little weird. There is a peculiar element of subtle manipulation in the air, generating a sense of tension. Make an effort to keep your own nose clean and step aside from the game.
Capricorn It may feel as though everything is serious and a challenge to handle. You do have a lot on your plate, but that is normal for the active Goat. Old hurts and wounds may be bothering you at this time, but that is temporary. Remain conscious of the good things.
Aquarius A close friend or a family member is attempting to persuade you and another to mend your fences. The issues may be deep and challenging. If this is not between you and another, it may be an entirely internal conflict that seems irresolvable. If so, seek the help of a trusted female.
Pisces There is a restlessness which may manifest as an angry edge to your attitude this week. The routine is probably getting on your nerves. Concentrate while driving or handling tools. Dieters beware. This is one of those weeks that it is hard to remain on track. Stay out of temptations’ way.
