YOUR STARS SUMMER 2022/23

with Stephanie Johnson

21 March – 19 April

As summer begins you are likely to feel like escaping to distant shores. Travel is likely to recharge your batteries. So, too, could communing with nature or a spiritual retreat. You may welcome travellers from afar, people who lift your spirits. Other cultures and associated activities may appeal. As summer progresses then your attention turns to your professional aspirations. You shine in your career. Finally, you have time for your friends and social groups. Two positive planets, Venus and Jupiter, move into your sign this season making for pleasurable months for the Rams of the Zodiac. 23 Sep – 22 Oct

Decisions are never easy as you weigh up the pros and cons and still end up uncertain which direction to take. This is particularly true when Mars, the planet of action, is Retrograde in the sign of duality, Gemini. So, the start of summer sees you in somewhat of a fence-sitting dilemma, or acting yet again as mediator. Take steps to ensure you are in a positive frame of mind. Perhaps a short trip away could give you a fresh outlook? Mid-season sees family as the focus. Hopefully family politics is at a minimum so that you can enjoy pleasurable occasions in February.

20 April – 20 May

Your joint resources are under the microscope as summer starts. Joint resources include any financial matters shared with a personal or business partner, bank accounts, investment properties, stocks, shares and such like. Anything that is considered an asset. You may need to shuffle some of your investments, particularly if you want to extend your credit to pay for a trip or a big-ticket item. Perhaps you are planning to travel mid-season. If so, then you juggle your financial commitments to pay your way. By the end of summer, you are likely to be focussed again on your professional life. 23 Oct – 21 Nov

Your budget is foremost in your mind during December. This could be because you have taken out a loan, or an investment has required extra funds, or a joint project is costing more than you expected. Whatever your personal scenario, the idea is that you need to reassess your incomings and outgoings. Think twice before spending big on luxuries. You may take a short trip during the middle of summer, or spend some time with neighbours or siblings. Your focus switches to home and family during February. And then, you can enjoy moving ahead with home projects.

21 May – 20 June

Love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage, or so the song lyrics go. The start of summer sees someone, possibly a Sagittarius, gallop into the marriage sector of your Solar Chart. If you are already married then your partner is likely demanding attention and/or changes in the status quo. If you are single then be prepared to be swept off your feet. Are you ready to commit? Joint finances may be the cause of discussions mid-summer. And by the end of the season, you are looking for an escape, possibly travel, from everyday responsibilities. 22 Nov – 21 Dec

December, the start of summer, is your month to shine, particularly in your private life. Home and family are highlighted and so you can enjoy spending time with loved ones. Home entertainment is the focus. This is also the ideal time for self-improvement, self-development and anything that boosts your physical and emotional health. Others gravitate to you. It’s your personal magnetism. As the season progresses you may take stock of your personal finances and make some decisions to either boost your income, or cut your expenditure. You may also take a short journey in February, or spend time with siblings.

21 June – 22 July

Incorporating fun on a daily basis is going to boost your energy and help you achieve your goals. You need to get moving in ways that are pleasurable. Rewards are coming your way. You only need to let go and trust in the flow of abundance. The lucky planet Jupiter is high in your Solar chart spreading good will. It’s time for your promotion, if you are due, or to find greener pastures, the publishing of your work or travel plans. Daily practices give you the ability to step out of your comfort zone, dream and fly. 22 Dec – 19 Jan

If you have been thinking of taking a sabbatical then December is the month. Capricorn season is a strange one to have chosen for Christmas. Sensible Capricorns are more likely to adopt a ‘bah humbug’ approach to the silly season. You may be more comfortable celebrating the solstice. You are happy to commemorate meaningful events, and reject anything linked to commercialism. As the new calendar year gets underway then you are more likely to get out and about, socialising in your own unique manner. By the end of the summer season, you are focussed on your personal finances.

23 July – 22 Aug

December is your month to seek fun in the sun. You can go out and about and enjoy the warmth and the radiance of the Solar centre. Your playful spirit is likely to inspire others, particularly if you are a member of a social club or group. As the season progresses you may need to slow down and get yourself in check. Your workaday life is likely to become more of the focus. And by the end of the season, your nearest and dearest is likely to be requesting more time. Partnership becomes the end of season focus.

23 Aug – 22 Sep

You gravitate towards family at the start of summer. As you focus on family, you are willing to change your routine to accommodate your nearest and dearest. You could literally have family visitors staying in your home, or travel to visit loved ones. Alternatively, your home may become your haven with projects that make it more comfortable and fun for yourself and those who share your living quarters. As the season progresses your own creative projects take more precedence, as does your relationship with any children in your life. You also need to carve out time for your own health. 20 Jan – 18 Feb

Your social calendar fills in December. End of year celebrations are delightful for the more gregarious Aquarians. You are not necessarily religious. Rather you enjoy the opportunity to get out and network. If you have been thinking of joining a group or club, then this is the month to step outside your comfort zone and enrol. This could be purely for fun, or perhaps a topic close to your heart, something that inspires your passion. Midsummer sees you a little more withdrawn, taking some valuable down time before you enter your birthday celebrations and end of summer fun.

19 Feb – 20 March

The professional sector of your Solar Chart is lit up in December. Work takes precedence. You may receive a promotion, award or some form of recognition for a job well done. Alternatively, you may seek other employment with the aim of achieving more job satisfaction. This is your opportunity to pursue your professional dreams. Your social life, and your love life, pick up during January and in February as the planet Venus enters your Zodiac Sign. The end of summer is a quieter time as you retreat and commune with nature, or enjoy some valuable serenity.
