Sagittarius (November 23-December 21)
JUNE 2008
Love is in the air! Your relationships—both business and personal—get a clean page this month. On June 3, a New Moon falls in your seventh house of committed partnerships. New Moons mark beginnings. Even if you’re already coupled up, you can always bring a “beginner’s mind” to your love life. Why not? Experiment with seeing your mate (or if single, your chance of meeting The One) with fresh eyes every day.
New Moons are great times to make wishes, because our thoughts and intentions plant the seeds that sprout into reality. Take a little time to free-write how you’d like your love life to look in six months. What do you hope for and desire? A Full Moon falls in this same house on December 12. Picture yourself with the person who’s a perfect match for you, right in the midst of holiday season. What do you see?
Sagittarius, make sure that you’re not confining yourself by “shoulds.” You have an utterly unconventional approach to relationships. If you see yourself backpacking through Southeast Asia with your soulmate-slash-playmate, then by all means don’t wish for Christmas at mom and dad’s with matching sweaters and a downpayment on a house in the suburbs.
Staying true to yourself in a relationship could be an issue that surfaces more than once this month. Mercury, planet of communication, is retrograde (backward) until June 20 in your relationship sector. This could cause a lot of misunderstandings with a partner if you’re not clear on what you say and mean.
To top it off, Neptune, planet of illusions and the imagination, is also retrograde—this time in your third house of communication. This doesn’t help matters one bit if you’re trying to express yourself clearly. Rather than fight it, surrender to the mayhem. Neptune could make you unusually psychic or receptive now. You might channel your true feelings through art, music, watercolor, or meditation. Sounds a bit “woo-woo,” we know. But your usual ultra-direct verbal style won’t be as effective now. Try a softer, gentler approach. Rather than hash things out through a harsh lecture or talk, just go dancing or hit a private karaoke room together. Even a walk through nature or somewhere beautiful will have an incredible healing effect on you and your mate.
If you make it through this cycle, there’s a reward. When the Sun and Venus move into Cancer after June 19, you could experience deeper intimacy than you’ve ever known. It’s a period of bonding with a soulmate. So clear out those nagging issues during Mercury retrograde!
On June 15, powerful Pluto dips back into Sagittarius until November 27. From 1995 until this January, Pluto was in your sign, marking a major period of self transformation for Sagittarians. On January 26, Pluto moved into Capricorn—your second house of money, joining your ruling planet Jupiter. Your approach to finances has already been undergoing a small revolution. With both Pluto and Jupiter now retrograde until September, all the financial action levels off a bit (a relief in some ways).
So now, Pluto turns back into your sign for its final visit in your lifetime. Your hotheaded, fiercely independent side may flare up—and this isn’t a bad thing if you can temper the flame a tad. If you’ve become a little too steady, grounded or even conservative in 2008, Pluto’s here to remind you of your roots. Sagittarius, you’re the sign of the risk-taker, the person who shoots for the moon and not only hits it dead-on, but pockets a few stars along the way. If you’ve gotten a bit too cautious, or abandoned your can-do, entrepreneurial nature, swing out a bit.
Sure you’ve made a few mistakes—ate too much, overspent, uttered regrettable last words. Excess is your Achilles hell, and you probably got burned from sticking your hand in the flame. Still, that doesn’t mean you should transform from a biker chick into a banker or a Buddhist monk. Sagittarius, you’ll always be a little “too much.” It’s time to embrace that fact for once and for all. Even if you take a super-conservative or corporate job, begin living on a budget, or “settle down” into a conventional lifestyle, you can still bring that trademark rock ‘n roll, daredevil edge to the party.
