This has been an amazing year all around, because Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion, is spending all of 2009 in Aquarius. You’re making bold new starts, receiving exciting offers, and getting out there in a big way. On June 15th, Jupiter will slow down into retrograde (backward) position until mid-October. While the fast pace has been exhilarating, you might be relieved to catch a break and get back to yourself. It’s a good time to evaluate all the new opportunities, rather than pounce on them. With so many choices, you may be a bit overwhelmed. Go back to the drawing board and review your goals. Make sure everything you’re doing is really aligned with your greater purpose. And give yourself a well-deserved rest!

LOVE & ROMANCE:
The first three weeks of June are ripe for romance, with the Sun in Gemini, your fifth house of love. For single Aquarians, this is prime time to get out on the market. On the 15th, Mercury enters Gemini, emphasizing that communication is the key to fulfilling love. Mercury also rules technology, so single Aquarians should definitely spice up those online dating profiles with hot new pictures and more assertive copy. Be direct about what you want from a relationship. Ask a friend to read over your personal ad and tell you her honest opinion.  Don’t be afraid to sex it up a little—remember, you’re looking for a lover, not just a best friend.

Of course, true romance begins with loving yourself, so treat yourself to some proper TLC this month, too. With Venus in your nurturing fourth house, you need some alone time to read, nest, cook and putter—just to follow your bliss on nobody’s clock but your own. As cool as you play it, you can get a little obsessive in love, focusing too much on the object of your affections. Keep it balanced, Aquarius. Family and female friends do wonders to shore up your confidence this month, too. With the safe cushion of their unconditional love, it’s so much easier to take risks in the game of love.

MONEY & CAREER:
Slow down spending and focus on your foundation this month, Aquarius. Expansive Jupiter goes retrograde on June 15th for four months—not the best period to gamble. Consolidate your resources and avoid excess. With ambitious Mars in your fourth house of home and roots, make use of what’s right in front of you. Before you buy anything new, look if you really need it. Sometimes, it’s more cost-effective to repair what you already have. Beautifying Venus is also in your fourth house, making it a great time for home renovation or decorating projects. It will be a great outlet for any nervous energy or stress you feel. Involve the whole clan in the action: start a family garden or do a big day of repainting and decluttering.

On June 7th, the Sagittarius full moon helps you create a radical, creative approach to riding out those financial fluctuations. Part of the problem is that you’re feeling unusually sentimental this month. This is causing you to hold on to possessions that are no longer useful, much less financially wise. If you’re hell-bent on keeping something—say, a beloved beach house or that cherished SUV—a communal approach can help slash expenses. In this economy, people are trying innovative approaches like car co-ops, group investments and neighborhood potlucks to save money. So for example, if you don’t want to sell your car, buddy up with someone who uses it for half the week and split the costs, or jump into an office carpool. Your willingness to be innovative will make all the difference.

HEALTH & FITNESS:
Temptation abounds during the first three weeks of June, while the Sun is in your decadent fifth house. Pleasure is an important part of life, so for God’s sake, if you’re going to indulge, enjoy every second of it! On June 20th, the Sun enters Cancer, your sixth house of health and fitness. You’ll be good and sick of all the carbs, sugar and alcohol by then, and ready to purge your system.

The best day to start in earnest is June 22nd, when the Cancer new moon sets off a six-month cycle of well-being. Goals and routines launched around this date get a cosmic boost. In a twist of fate, this moon will oppose powerful Pluto, which is in your twelfth house of healing, endings and release. Just as important as starting new practices is your need to let go of buried resentments, deep-seated anger and other toxic emotions you’ve been storing.

Aquarius, nobody does denial quite like you, but when that dormant volcano explodes, watch out! If a bit of hot lava bubbles out during this new moon cycle, minimize the casualties. In other words, watch a tendency to blame and project onto the people closest to you. It’s all part of a natural healing process, a mind-body-soul transformation that will ultimately take you to a healthy new place. A short cleanse, fast or meditation retreat would be great to try around this new moon. Since it also accompanies the summer solstice, you’ll feel twice as energized by any spiritual healing you do.
