Monthly Horoscope: Cancer (June 21-July 22)

JUNE 2010 Bookmark and Share twitter about this

MONTHLY OVERVIEW:
May had its share of dramatic plot twists, and you’re ready for a break. Relief doesn’t come in a five-star vacation package this month, but in the form of a long to-do list. The Gemini Sun activates your sixth house of health, organization and administrative tasks until June 21st, keeping you extra busy. It’s welcome distraction that helps you refocus on your own life, no matter what craziness is going on around you.

 

With expansive Jupiter moving into your home and family sector June 6-September 8, you could be moving, starting a family or tending to a relative in need. Women will play a major role in coming events. You’re ready to engage again after the 21st, when the Sun enters Cancer, your partnership sector. Committed relationships, both personal and professional, occupy your attention.

The big day comes on June 26th, when a Capricorn lunar eclipse brings the last six months of your life to a powerful head. A personal project or internal change that’s been building since mid-January reaches a peak, and there’s no turning back. This full moon joins forces with transformational Pluto. Molecules shift, and the effect is permanent—you’re not the same person you were when 2010 began. At this eclipse, you could have an incredible epiphany that changes your lifestyle or inspires you to make a bold move on your own behalf. In some way, you’re striking out solo, or defining life on your own terms. Although your first steps may be wobbly, you’re excited to take them.


LOVE & ROMANCE:
Romantic Venus spends the month traveling through Cancer and Leo, the commitment-driven sectors of your chart. Venus is in Cancer until June 15th, helping you smooth out rough patches with your sweetie, or attract a more serious-minded type. You’re not one to take relationships casually, but now you’re extra focused on making sure your love life is in proper order.

Settling is not an option this summer, and the June 26th Capricorn eclipse makes you fully aware of what you bring to the party. Have you been undervaluing yourself? Stand up for your worth, but don’t swing from doormat to dictator. Only you’re responsible for any past self-neglect—it’s not your partner’s job to validate you.

Venus spends the second half of June in Leo, your intimate eighth house. An engagement or pregnancy could be possible for some Capricorns. You could move in or buy property with your significant other. With expansive Jupiter in your domestic sector for the next three months, you need more personal time, even a “room of one’s own.” Rent yourself a beach cottage for the weekend, take an all-girls’ trip, join a crafting or gardening group. Tuck into those lesser-seen “feminine” parts of yourself and just enjoy the pleasure of puttering.

MONEY & CAREER:
Capricorns are comfortable in a structure (you’re the “company man” type), but this summer awakens an entrepreneurial streak. Energetic Mars moves into Virgo, your adventurous ninth house, from June 8-July 29. Saturn, your ruling planet, is also in Virgo until July 22nd. Mars is a speed racer and Saturn is a lead-foot who rides the brake, and their combined energies can clash. How to balance the contrast? Don’t quit your day job, Capricorn, but ask for more flexible hours. Or, draft ideas for your vision, but take time to build a solid business plan before you launch. Stay excited, but remain patient, too!

Working from home is another option to explore. On June 6th, lucky Jupiter starts a three-month tour of Aries, your domestic fourth house. You could start a cottage industry, likely a web-based venture since innovative, technical Uranus is also in Aries until mid-August. The fourth house also rules home and family. You might head up a cutting-edge project centered on women, children or domestic arts. Joining or starting a family business could be profitable now, too. While the Sun is in Gemini through June 21st, get organized. Bust out the paper shredder, clean out your files and streamline your systems.

HEALTH: MIND, BODY & SOUL:
Self-care, anyone? You’ve been a little lost this year, or consumed by big outside commitments, putting your own wellness on pause. The summer is officially Be Nice to Capricorn season. That means putting the focus back on yourself. So you live alone or have an empty nest—that’s no excuse not to cook a hearty, healthy meal for yourself a few times a week.

Whatever you’ve ignored that would soothe, comfort and please you is your new priority. Expansive Jupiter will spend the next three months in Aries, the foundational part of your chart. Do unto yourself what you’ve been doing for others—you’ll end up depleted and resentful if you don’t. Enjoy quality moments with your family and nurturing friends, especially women, but catch yourself when you slip into martyr mode.

Uranus in Aries until mid-August pushes you to crave “me” time and free time. To further this independent streak, the June 26th Capricorn eclipse will square off with Jupiter and Uranus, creating a necessary break in smothering family ties. Are you giving from a sense of duty and obligation, even to avoid living your life? The gig is up. Issues with your mother or a female relative may come to the forefront during this eclipse. Your identity is changing, and it’s time for people to accept the new you—one who doesn’t have “Welcome” tattooed on her forehead anymore. Next up: your Capricorn Weekly Horoscope >
