YOUR STARS 21 March – 19 April
Health and happiness are on your mind in Winter. This is the ideal time to pay attention to your own needs, and to communicate them to others. Selfimprovement programs are likely to appeal. And if ever you wanted to write your personal memoires, then June is the time to start because your mind is sharp and self-expression is highlighted. The lucky planet Jupiter has moved into your Zodiac Sign helping you expand your horizons and express your true self. You may need some home time in July but you are ready to spread your wings and fly in August.
20 April – 20 May
Why is it always about money when it comes to Taurus? Once again, the planets seem to be encouraging your pre-occupation with security and personal finances. Winter starts with both the Sun and Moon lined up in the 2nd House of your Solar Chart calling on you to focus on your income and personal spending habits. Luckily Venus is in your Zodiac Sign bring you good fortune for June. As Winter progresses your social life is likely to be quite diverse. You may even split your time between two homes, or start a busy project at home.
21 May – 20 June
Self-improvement is the name of the game in June. Your ruling planet Mercury is Retrograde in your Zodiac Sign for a few days at the start of this Winter, giving you pause for self-reflection. But life soon picks up speed. You can then enjoy life in the fast lane as long as you choose your direction so that you can make the most of the opportunities that come your way. As a typical Gemini you may have trouble settling on just one path. If this is the case, then try to still your busy mind and follow your heart.
21 June – 22 July
Each year the period preceding your birthday calls for quiet reflection. So, the first few weeks of June are all about what is happening behind the scenes. How are you preparing to celebrate your birth? And what projects are you preparing to bring into the world? Also, how are you going to be of service to the world? These are the questions that arise this month. You may seek to retreat while you consider your next birthday year. As Winter progresses you are then able to move forward with personal plans knowing that you have laid the groundwork.
23 July – 22 Aug
Your social life takes off as Winter starts – both in your personal and professional life. Pleasurable pastimes with other people are important boosting your sense of fun, positivity and vitality. Your need for social connection is instinctual. So, listen to your instincts when it comes to friendships. As you reach out and link up with people from different walks of life, you may also connect with a woman in a position of authority. As Winter progresses you are likely to retreat into a quieter lifestyle. By the end of the season, you are ready to pick up the pace again.
23 Aug – 22 Sep
Achievements, past or present, are the focus. With your ruling planet Mercury high in your Solar Chart its time to focus on your life achievements. Your status as a parent, grandparent, professional worker or public offer is highlighted. If you are satisfied that you are on the right path then you are likely to receive a boost in the form of praise from your boss, a promotion or an award. If you are dissatisfied then it’s time to pivot. As the season progresses your social life picks up speed before you take a well-earned rest for the last few weeks.
WINTER 2022 23 Sep – 22 Oct
Ideally you can take off to distant shores with a loved one with the tune of ‘The Love Boat’ resounding in your mind. It’s time for romance. A cruise, mountaintop hideaway, inspiring concert, rousing sports event or spiritual seminar can be enjoyed with someone close. If an escape to a foreign land or inspirational event is not possible then perhaps you can plan an escape at home. In July your focus switches to your professional life and your achievements. You seek recognition for your efforts at work. August sees your social life take off with a busy schedule.
23 Oct – 21 Nov
Seasons come and go as you are well aware this month. June sees you making changes that help you adjust to the cycles of life. Perhaps you are undergoing a rite of passage, a transition from one season in your life to another. Or maybe you are simply shifting how you invest your time, energy and money. Your changes in lifestyle or attitude may also spark a revised work schedule or health regimen. By July you are ready to escape. An overseas vacation or an inspiring conference can recharge your batteries in time for a busy career month in August.
22 Nov – 21 Dec
Everyday routine is shaken up a little in June. This change of routine may be sparked by your nearest and dearest. Much as you would like to focus on yourself and your own creative projects, the planets are calling on you to support your loved ones – children, parents or a partner. Mid-winter may be a little intense, particularly when it comes to any joint financial arrangements. You need to focus on calmly resolving shared resources. By August you can see light at the end of the tunnel and an overseas venture or adventure may take off.
22 Dec – 19 Jan
Lifestyle is the focus this month. Lifestyle is defined as ‘patterns of behaviour, interaction, consumption, work, activity and interests that describe how a person spends their time.’ So, June sees you examine your lifestyle and make adjustments as to how you spend your time. Your health depends on a balanced lifestyle. As Winter progresses, partnerships become the focus. A change in your partner’s life is likely to affect you and your joint resources. You are well able to cope with this positive turn of events. By August you are tackling joint projects with aplomb.
20 Jan – 18 Feb
The planets are lined up in the private section of your Solar Chart calling on you to enjoy your own company, your home and the company of loved ones. It’s all about having fun. You may have a specific project that involves creativity and working from home. Alternatively, it’s possible that children are showing you the way to live in the present moment. You may also enjoy taking a short break away from work with family and friends. An escape to the country or the seaside could appeal as a way to spark up your outlook on life.
19 Feb – 20 March
Otters live in a den called a holt, or a couch. As a Pisces you are likely drawn to these delightful animals and their playful antics on land and in water. And they are particularly appealing this month because you need to focus on your own den, home and couch. Home and family are the strongest theme in June. It’s time to shelter and to shore up your roots. As Winter progresses, you enjoy some recreation and make positive changes in your lifestyle. Healthy activities and habits are a must by the end of Winter.
