We recently spotted a New York City mural by sidewalk artist De La Vega (http://www.delavegainternational.com) that said, “This moment is more important than you think.” It was a nice reminder.

Yes, you can make money in June, but there’s more at stake than just that. Ask yourself: Will my next action bring me closer to my dreams? If not, the Gemini Sun will help you examine your choices. Look at new approaches to creating both financial security and fulfillment. On June 20th, the Sun moves into Cancer, your third house of communication. Cast a wide net and reach out to contacts old and new. Read, study, learn and discuss—your brainstorms could be the start of a bold new path.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
A long, somewhat lonely road comes to a relieving end this month. Since February, love-planet Venus has been in Aries, your foggy, karmic twelfth house. Some element of your past has been pervading your love life for months. Whether it was lingering drama with an ex, your own intimacy issues or the weighty demands of life, your days of candlelight and roses were in short supply. During this cycle, you may have felt like a victim, almost as if things were happening to you, without your permission or control. In reality, your own stubborn nature could have prolonged the suffering. Taurus, you become your own worst enemy when you hold onto pain, anger and attachments that don’t serve your highest purpose.

Now, you’re back in the driver’s seat. On June 1st, sexy Mars enters Taurus for six weeks, revving up your confidence and passion. A week later, romantic Venus (your ruling planet) also moves into Taurus. The spark is lit, and your lusty, pleasure-seeking side reawakens. Assert yourself and go for exactly what you want. Be precise with your aim and you’ll hit the mark.

If you still have past residue to release, do so at the Sagittarius full moon on June 7th. Enough is enough. You’ll need to harden your heart and detach with a quick, definite cutoff. Give yourself space to mourn if necessary, as this letting go might feel like a death. Mourn the death of hope, the death of potential, the death of what “could have been.” Honor your emotions then move on decisively. This is too powerful a month to waste crying over spilled milk.

MONEY & CAREER:
You’re more motivated than you’ve been all year—and it feels great. Ambitious Mars visits Taurus from June 1st-July 12th, giving you the get-up-and-go that’s been missing. You’re ready to thrust yourself back out into the game, perhaps even with an entrepreneurial idea that’s truly close to your heart. With communication planet Mercury in Taurus until June 15th, then in your money sector afterward, a brilliant idea could turn into a profitable venture.

Get started early, because on June 15th, lucky Jupiter will go retrograde (backward) in your tenth house of career until October 12th. Jupiter’s benevolence won’t go away altogether, but this cycle could slow you down and force you to reevaluate your path. Avoid excessive optimism and minimize risk for now. Retrogrades connect us to the past, so call up an old mentor, or check out opportunities with a former colleague or employer.

HEALTH & FITNESS:
Mars in Taurus kicks your butt into shape this month. Old habits and indulgent ways probably crept back (along with a few extra pounds) over the past few months. Much of this was due to emotional stress, a cycle that’s thankfully ended. Now, it’s all about making yourself a priority. You’re a little out of practice when it comes to that!

There’s no easy way to start over, so just dive into the pool and swim like hell. It’s how your sign does everything anyhow—all or nothing. You’re a total creature of habit. Beginning is the hard part. Once you get past the initial discomfort, you’re the most dedicated trooper in town. Remember that if you find yourself digging in your heels when it’s time to make that change.

Begin with what’s right in front of you. Focus on changing your daily habits for the first three weeks of June. After the 20th, you could really get into the swing, especially if you work out with a buddy or trainer. Try a jog through the ‘hood, boxing in a park, even online workout videos. The Cancer new moon on the 22nd, which opposes powerful Pluto, could bring on a complete attitude transformation. Wake up and honor the divine temple of your body.
