Monthly Horoscope: Aries (March 21-April 10)

JUNE 2010 Bookmark and Share twitter about this

MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
Get ready, Aries—the best news of 2010 arrives June 6th. On that day, Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion, enters Aries for the first time since 1999. Jupiter’s golden touch is upon you until September 8th, returning again next January. It’s been a rocky year for many Aries up until now, with a lot of lessons about patience, surrender and letting go.

With the Sun in Gemini until 21st, you’re unusually social, with no shortage of people eager to hear your new plans. Your ruler Mars moves into Virgo on June 8th, helping you outline the details, but at times, adding stress. After the 21st, you may crash for a spell when the Sun enters Cancer, your domestic fourth house. Pause and take it all in—there’s a lot to integrate. Busy as you are shaking hands and kissing babies, the Cancer Sun will remind you of your roots. Don’t abandon those who knew you when, Aries. Take time for family and familiar places that center you during these changing times.

Just when you start to cool your heels, another round of change sweeps into Aries-ville. On June 26th, a Capricorn lunar eclipse in your career sector finishes the month with a flourish. Eclipses knock us off the fence if we’ve been stalling, and this one brings closure to an episode of your work life that’s been evolving since January. New and better projects await, but you need to finish this one off—with as much integrity and pride as you can—to clear the way.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
Love is hardly a priority for now, Aries. Who has time? With so much change in your personal and professional life, you’re busy keeping up with your own agenda. Romance gets the hold button, for the first half of June especially. Although you may not have the bandwidth for a torrid affair, you do need gentle pockets of peace, which you can share with someone special. Make the time.

With love planet Venus in Cancer until the 15th, you crave relaxation, a massage, a home-cooked meal. Give that to yourself, or allow your partner to provide these creature comforts. Every Aries needs to be babied, and now is your time for spoiling. Cozy up your quarters with feminine touches, and snuggle on the couch with your sweetie and a Netflix rental. Some Aries could talk about moving in with a mate or buying property together, especially near the end of the month. Stay tuned: the July 11th eclipse in your domestic sector could bring new living arrangements.

On June 8th, passionate Mars (your ruling planet) leaves your romance sector, heading into your health house for seven weeks. Caring for your well-being will increase your stamina—and your mojo. Treat your body like a sacred temple, and you’ll soon find a cadre of worshippers waiting. When Venus enters sexy Leo on June 15th, you begin to feel more attractive and playful again. Dress in bright colors, bold patterns and oversized accessories. (Yes, now’s the time to wear that canary-yellow cutout swimsuit or heels on the beach, Aries.) A little attention boosts your pleasure, so why not turn a few heads for your own amusement?

MONEY & CAREER:
“What do I want?” You can no longer avoid the question, nor delay pursuing a major life change. Expansive Jupiter and radical Uranus form a tag team in Aries for the next two months, sending you on a reinvention tour that rivals Madonna’s. If you’ve been hiding in the shadows, it’s time to embrace your purpose. In some way, you’re destined to be the star instead of a backup player. The star of what, exactly, is up to you—but you can expect some leading clues to pop up this month.

The strongest push comes from the June 26th full moon lunar eclipse in your career sector. This full moon will square off with Jupiter and Uranus, forcing a short-term struggle to align your inner and outer reality. Your personal desires may scrape uncomfortably against your need for stability and a solid social standing. You may doubt your ability to make a great living AND be satisfied, for example. That old “you can’t have it all” tape could play—and it’s time to destroy it for good.

If you haven’t been true to yourself, an unfulfilling job or position could be literally eclipsed out of your life, making way for a much better fit. A boss or leader could suddenly depart, leaving you to fill her shoes or adapt to a new regime. Any changes could demand an uncomfortable shift in the way you see yourself or construct your lifestyle. Aries, you can no longer dim your light so someone else can shine. Be willing to post a fresh canvas on your easel and script your life from scratch, however radical the change may be.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
You’ve been quite the hedonist this year, but in June, the celestial boot camp instructor arrives. It’s your ruling planet Mars, all washboard abs with a whistle ‘round his neck, moving into healthy Virgo on June 8th. Mars is here until July 29th, motivating you to whip your body and life into shape. Where have you cut corners or left things sloppy? Bring back the edge to these areas, and you’ll get right into the zone.

After the 21st, the Sun enters Cancer, urging you to spend more time with family and supportive women. If you’re thinking of moving or expanding your family, explore options, but hold out until next month if you can. On July 11th, a Cancer solar eclipse could bring unforeseen options.Next up: your Aries Weekly Horoscope >
