Leo, Virgo & Libra Forecast ~~April, May & June 2018

Leo Horoscope - April to June 2018

Fortunately the month begins at the Easter holidays, because all I'm picking up from you right now Leo, is that all you want to get out there, holiday, explore and escape this humdrum. We're all feeling that in our own way though, as Mars meets up with Saturn, giving all that dull, routine, unimportant day to day stuff a focus it's never quite earned the right to.

Things are going to look up in the second week of the month though, whilst I can promise much fun or frivolity (to those of you who haven't already booked a flight to another continent) before the 7th, there will be an uplift in week too. Sure, the earthy meet ups of Venus and Mars with water Neptune may lack some of the adventure and excitement you seek, there will at least be the opportunity to feel inspired, more creative and connected to those who are important to you. Passions will run quite high at this time too, as physical escapism provides a rather decent comparative to the more explorative impulses you have been feeing.

Although, in fact the new Moon in Aries on 16th does indicate an amenable and opportune time to jet set. Responsibilities will take a back sea anyway, when Saturn begins a retrograde motion on 18th April and unless you really do have a lot of ties and responsibilities, why not get away for a while?

Your social life starts to look up too when Venus moves into Gemini from 24th April, perfect for those of you who have decided to escape your day to day lives, and pretty good still if you're staying put for the interminable.

The first week in May is infused with harmonious aspects, as the ground begins to warm up to the Spring (in the UK), the feel good factor is beginning to spread. If you need a wild night out, either of the first two May weekends are appropriate, but the second one particularly. As Mercury meets up with Uranus, the planet of revolution, genius, chaos and freedom, this is one of your last chances to really enjoy Uranus in yours fellow fire sign, Aries. (It will dip back for a few months from November 2018 also, if you do pass up this opportunity for a little hedonism.)

The new Moon in 15th May brings your work life into the spotlight. Are you fulfilling your dreams, do you even know what it is you really want to do with your life? For the last year the nodes have been in Leo, these are actually an imaginary mathematical point but they signify your soul direction in this life. When they join up with the position of your Sun they push you to thinking about what it is you want to achieve in this life. Sometimes it helps to know where the nodes were when you were born, if you want to get a better idea of this.

Alongside the New Moon, this is the day that Uranus officially moves into Taurus, promising to change how and what we value and possibly the entire monetary system as we know it over the next 7 years! To soften the blow, Mars moves into Aquarius, the sign ruled by Uranus, making sure we still have a dose of wildness in our lives for the next few months. Aquarius is your opposite sign, and with Mars here for the majority of the next 6 months, this is the beginning of period of relationship focus for Leos.

Single Leos will be meeting a lot of potential partners at this time, at first the people you meet will probably reflect qualities in yourself you need to work on. Whilst at the end of this period there is likely a happy ending for you, this will be a journey of learning and delving deeper into what it means to connect with a significant other. For those of you in relationships already, be prepared to go more deeply into the mechanisms of how you fit one another, and areas where you both need to learn to 'shake things up' a bit. There may have been a lull in recent months, the one thing about Aquarius is it's never boring; chaotic, unpredictable, hot/cold, overly analytical, but not dull. Mid-May marks the beginning of a very interesting Summer.

Some of the seriousness will be felt towards the end of the month, lifted for you by the Full Moon in Sagittarius on 29th May. This is another date for a bit of frivolity and fun, friendships are also in the spotlight with your ruling planet, the Sun, now sociable Gemini. You will meet a lot of interesting, people at this time.

June continues a sociable focus, you are still pondering whether you're in the right career, or working towards it, and the confusion will be notable around 6th & 7th June. If you are inclined towards meditation, you will this to be a particularly fruitful pursuit from 11th June, as the planet of thought and ideas, moves into emotional Cancer.

Around the 20th and for a few days before, love will be in the picture, whether because of somebody you have met, or due to a more romantic mood that's suddenly hit you I cannot say. What is clear is that you will be looking at what you really want in a relationship. Venus in Leo from the 13th June will make you feel more attractive and charismatic in general.

During the last week of the month, you will start to notice that charm and warmth are not quite enough however, that depth, and connection are the elements that bond people together. As Mars turns retrograde on 27th June, a period of delving deeper into all these areas is just beginning.

Virgo Horoscope - April to June 2018

I know a lot of Virgos don't really love this time of year, the start of Spring, the blossoms on the trees. The truth is, it's quite a messy season really, petals everywhere, random rain showers all the time, and all the extra light just showing up the grime and extra work that needs to be done.

This April though, with Venus moving into Taurus on the 1st, you're going to be feeling a bit more relaxed, in fact you may even be inclined to take a holiday somewhere and escape from it all for a while.

The times are changing, this is quite a big Spring & Summer astrologically speaking. Most people will be feeling the pressure at the beginning of April too, with Mars and Saturn causing a little chaos, forcing people to slow down, focus and do things more accurately. You don't mind this so much, you tend to be methodical anyway in fact as a romantic haze begins to take over mid-month, alongside the New Moon in Aries it's possible you'll find the unrealistic expectations set by others are a little irritating.

Another reason this is a big year for you, Virgo, is your ruling planet Chiron, finally moves out of Pisces. It's been in your opposite sign, your sign of relationship for 7 years now, and you're fully bored of having to grow and work on yourself and how you inter-relate with your partner. Good news, this period ends on 17th April (the bad news is there will be a re-visit from Chiron to Aries later in the year, just to make sure you really have thoroughly learned all you thought you had!)

{if you'd like a personal reading explaining how Chiron falls in your personal chart and what makes it the ruler of your sign – rather than Mercury – then I can do this for £20, contact me at: waxlobster@hotmail.com}

Chiron in Aries means that more people will be irritable and snappy, but also more sensitive with one another too. Violence and aggressive behaviour will become taboo and although this is no bad thing, as we know; things do tend to get a little worse, before they truly start to right themselves.

Towards the end of the month as Venus moves in Gemini, you will be feeling good about your career. Aesthetically things will be falling into place, communication will be upbeat and positive and you will be reaping the rewards of all your hard work a little more noticeably. You've worked hard so far this year, Saturn in Capricorn has made strong work ethics your form of entertainment on some level. You do enjoy getting lost in something with is predictable, methodical and works beautifully afterwards. Appreciation for the amount you do is often overlooked, so this positive energy is very much deserved.

The Full Moon in Scorpio on 30th April highlights communication and community. We've had to deal with Mercury retrograde for the first half of April, showing up flaws and delays in as many areas as it could. Now it's moving at full speed, any areas of misunderstanding whether personally or in a work sense, can be readdressed and will become quite obvious at this point of the month.

May begins quite smoothly with a neat flow, you will be able to get things done easily and feel quite content with everyday life. Although the pressure of so much activity in Capricorn, (the house in your chart which rules fun, sports, entertainment, recreation and creativity) is making you feel a need to make all of the activities in your life have a productive outcome, you are beginning to enjoy this.

On 15th April, after 7 years in Aries, Uranus; the planet of chaos, sparks of genius, revolution and change, moves into compatible Taurus. You may well start thinking about doing a course in something you've been interested in for a while, or even take on lessons in a new language. Some Virgos will get the urge to travel and explore the world, others will do their journeys in their studies, but this will be the beginning of a period of expansion, exploration and discovery on a level you hadn't predicted.

Enjoy! Follow your dreams! You have a tendency to talk yourself out of plans which are just for you, but look at this way, the richer you are in yourself; the more you have to offer others. Whether in terms of knowledge, experience, or just inner fulfilment, it is important to put your needs and desire first for a change!

Mars connecting with your ruling planet on 20th May could indicate some decisions in this area. Certainly you will feel a bit more celebratory on the 25th as Jupiter and Neptune meet up, as if to ensure you are aware of your dreams and ready to take the steps towards giving them more of a focus in your life.

The first week in June focusses on communications and whether or not you are giving your close relationship the time and care that they need. The answer may be, “No”. Certainly on the 7th June there is an indication of demands being made of your time and resources. You sometimes forget how needy other people can be, and how much time and attention they require.

When Mercury moves into your house of friendship on 12th June, you will feel more at ease to address this deficit, although the new Moon the following day will be demanding your work focus once more.

Appeasement is well starred however, Virgo, mid June shows good strong connections and warmth with others. For single Virgos this is the best time of Spring/early Summer for you to be out and about meeting new people. You'll feel more upbeat, sociable and fun-loving at this time. (13th to 23rd June)

Things do come back down to earth at the end of June. Duties are piling up and work demands are pressing, the bubble has burst for just a little while and as Mars begins a retrograde motion in Aquarius on 27th June this will be the backdrop of the Summer. Whether readdressing the feng shui in your home (or workplace), or simply making up for a less than perfect diet over the last few months, this is the beginning of an energetic 'Spring clean'.

Libra Horoscope - April to June 2018

Those of you born in early October are probably reading this reluctantly thinking, “what next?” I know it's been stressful week or so, for all of you in one way or another. Saturn in Capricorn is making itself known, stifling your congeniality and forcing you to look at issues with home, family and areas of your past that would be more easily ignored.

I'm afraid the first week of April, further presses on these point and if you can avoid people (and potentially confrontation) on 2nd April do so.

Things ease up after this point, sure Venus moving into Taurus on 7th April may not be quite so romantic as it being in your opposite sign but the need to 'take time out' is so important for you right now, this more introspective period has come at the right time.

When Mercury ends it's retrograde period on 15th the dust will slowly begin to settle. You've had a lot of memories, old unresolved issues coming up to the surface lately, I'm happy to say that you can rest and take a back seat for most of the second half of April.

Chiron in Aries from the 17th will start up a new level of learning, but only for those of you born from 23rd to 26th September.

{Do you want to know more about how Chiron in your opposite sign from now until 2027 will change your life? Contact me for a £20 Chiron reading at: waxlobster@hotmail.com }

Easy moments will follow for most Libras from the new Moon on 16th April, followed by your ruler Venus moving into compatible Gemini on 24th April. The downturn occurs when Mars and Pluto meet up on 26th of the month, people are going to be conflictive and aggressive on this Libra. I know how uncomfortable that can make you feel and so I'm giving you a headsup to avoid the more cantankerous, confrontative and lairy types if you want to keep things peaceful. The emphasis is on the area of your chart which deals with communication, so you could be dragged unwittingly into the crossfire if you don't know to avoid.

The full Moon in your house of resources on 30th will get you thinking about how much of yourself you share; both energetically and with your finances also.

You've been assessing your friendships in the back of your mind for the last year or so, looking at who really matters to you and vice-versa. This will become more evident to you around 3rd May, and it may turn out that you are closer to some people than you knew. It’s possible you will meet somebody at this time also, who makes quite a lasting, positive influence on your life. It could be a new friend, it could be a new love, stay open minded and socialise if you have chance. The first week of May looks very promising for you Libra and this will be a continuing energy in fact. As, on 13th May, you find yourself feeling more creatively inspired than you have for a while.

Uranus, the planet of chaos, change, revolution and inspiration will be moving into Taurus from the 15th, beginning a 7 year sojourn in an area of your chart which rules the deepest connections in life. Your intuition will start to be a more reliable guide now and your psychic ability will be enhanced going forwards.

From the 19th your ruling planet, Venus moves into the area of your life governing career, enhancing your creativity in the workplace. If you run your own business, or have considered doing so, this is a great time for a launch, revamp, rebrand, or visual campaign.

Creativity will continue to peak and the 25th May is going to have a hazy romantic type of energy. For those of you in relationships, practical long-term concerns can be discussed and shared. Single Libras will be looking for long-term too, rather than casual.

The 1st of June has a particularly positive slant to it, if you do meet somebody at this time Libra, expect it to be somebody different, who has experiences that fascinate and inspire you. A holiday romance is also well featured at this time and you will be inclined towards travel in June.

From 13th to 20th June you will experience quite a rollercoaster of emotions. This is a great time to plan an adventure, but even if you stay home, this be a very eventful week. So many areas of your chart are lit up at this time, a change in your life direction is very possible. You may decide to change jobs, move house, you may fall in love, or take up a new hobby. There are many options available but with Uranus in Taurus, and your intuition so much clearer now than it has been previously, you may feel like you are guided by a higher force in the decisions you make. Synchronicities will be more frequent too.

{if you would like a £20 reading, to explain how Uranus moving into Taurus will personally affect you for the coming 7 years, contact me at: waxlobster@hotmail.com }

After the Solstice on the morning of 21st your focus will be a little more studious and practical. Changes are best made prior to this point anyway, as Mars turning retrograde in Aquarius at the end of the month, marks the beginning of period of reconsidering your domestic finances, family matters and creative plans. With the Full Moon on 28th June, capitulating and highlighting points which will require your focus over the remainder of the Summer. It will be a more introspective Summer than usual, so enjoy the freedom that June will bring you beforehand.

Aries & Gemini & Cancer Forecast ~ April, May, June 2018

Aries Forecast ~ April to June 2018

{a slightly longer write up for Aries this quadrant, since it is your birthday month}

The month begins with Mercury retrograde in your sign Aries, moving in this apparent backward motion up until the 15^th April, those born between 25^th March and 2^nd April will be feeling this most keenly.

Mercury retrograde periods are renowned for their apparent ability to cause computers to break down, traffic to become notably worse and general miscommunication to occur in all areas of life. Since this Mercury retrograde is in Aries, this time around you will feel it more impactfully. It will seem more personal somehow and most likely have a more jarring effect upon your day to day life; forcing you to consider alternatives and refine your usual routines.

Frustrations will be at their most notable on 2^nd April as your ruling planet, Mars meets up with restrictive Saturn in Capricorn, assuaging your enthusiasm, almost instantaneously, like a burst balloon. The issue will most likely lie with work and your views and interactions with the outside world. You will be questioned, have to double-check, correct and be basically stalled and stifled by events on this day. These things are not happening, 'just to wind you up' but to help you recognise that a more measured and steady approach, can at times, bring better long-term rewards. Steamrollering can be wonderfully effective, but not for everything.

Being an Aries you are likely to have a shorter fuse than most, but know that the positives of Mercury retrogrades are in the potential of viewing things differently, having to redo things that perhaps weren't really considered quite so much as they should have been in the first place. It's also an opportunity to slow down, re-evaluate and look at whether the recent life choices you have made are actually appropriate after all. It's easy to run around from one thing to another, to keep busy and active, but it's not always the means in which to make progress in life.

You may be wishing for Spring, impatiently considering all that you would be able to do, if the conditions were more conducive, but in reality there are loose ends and refinements to make beforehand.

Passions will be rising to the surface for Ariens around 11^th to 15^th April, as the Sun in Aries meets with powerful, transformative Pluto. Venus and Mars, also meet up for one of their regular rendezvous' and invite dreamy, romantic Neptune into their waltz. The frustrations of the first half of the month will dissipate in a cloud of hopeful harmonies and a fervour of frission.

The upbeat vibe is set to continue, as you find yourself far more expressive, positive and upbeat during the second half of April. For those born around 17^th April, the lunar proximity will set off a sparkling New Moon energy, throwing the planet of chaos, creativity and vision (Uranus) into the mix and promising you a solar year to remember!

With Uranus soon to be making a temporary farewell to Aries, this is a new Moon which implies a 'last chance', to fulfil your dreams, make that mark and change something in your life you've been thinking about for the last year or few. Although Uranus will make a revisit to Aries later in the year, after 2018 there genuinely won't be another chance of this kind. Uranus won't be in Aries again until the year 2095!

{Contact me at waxlobster@hotmail.com if you would like a £20 report on how best to utilise Uranus in your personal chart}

Your confidence continues through the latter part of April, even as the Sun moves into Taurus on the 20^th. There will be a 'blip' on the 25^th when you find your confidence dipping and your vulnerabilities rising to the surface. This may well manifest in anger also, as your ruling planet (Mars) meets up with Pluto and causes a very potent explosive energy. In fact take it easy around 26^th April as accidents and more widespread issues are more possible when Mars and Pluto collide in this way. If you can expend the passion in a more focussed, expressive and/or meaningful way then all the better. Everyone is going to be edgy at this time, but people will be a bit more sexy too….

The full Moon at 9 Scorpio at the end of the month will add to this tension on 30^th April, so if you've been single up until this point, it could be a good time to change that. Chemistry will be at it's peak, where it lurks already….

Those of you born at the very beginning of Aries (21^st to 23^rd March) are going to have the interesting experience of Chiron reaching your Sun during April and May. Chiron takes around 50 years to go around the Sun, so for many of you this will be a first time experience and one which brings a deep level of sensitivity to your life, in a way you won't have experienced before.

{I can offer you a Chiron analysis for £20 also: waxlobster@hotmail.com}

Otherwise May rolls up some nice upbeat energies, which are mostly congenial and enjoyable, until the big change occurs on the 15^th May. This is the day that Mars moves from Capricorn into compatible, more sociable Aquarius and Uranus moves into Taurus for the first time in 84 years! The calm may be a balm and certainly you will start to notice that there is less upheaval in your life with the loss of Uranus (although you may notice that things are more dull also).

May is a less eventful month and one in which you can take a bit of time out and enjoy; with Venus in Cancer (from 20^th May), it may be fruitful to spend a little more time beautifying and enjoying your home environment. On 25^th May a lovely connection between Jupiter and Neptune will be felt in an uplifting manner for anybody who enjoys creativity that buoyant connected feeling of appreciation and the higher levels of communication that we can learn by observing animals and nature. The month ends with a lovely excuse for celebrations with great friends, topped off perfectly with a full Moon in fun loving Sagittarius on 29^th.

June begins with a lovely set up of harmonious aspects, communications will be great, the romantic backdrop is still having its say, you feel confident to express your true feelings at the moment Aries. Often you are an 'actions speak louder than words' kind of sign, but this is going to change a fair bit over the coming years. As Chiron slowly starts to have an affect upon you and, as always, the backdrop for adjustment is being provided supportively and synchronistically by the other planets, you find that things are gradually changing bit by bit. Uranus has left your sign, and you, with a feeling of being slightly changed by the experiences of the last 7 years. You're not quite the same person you were before and you wouldn't wish to be; there are more strings to your bow and more notes in your heart.

There's going to a be an unproductive, and hazy feeling surrounding 6^th and 7^th June but the new Moon in Gemini on 13^th will reassemble your thoughts, whilst on the same day, Venus strolls into flamboyant Leo, craving a similarly emphatic response in it's fellow fire signs (Aries & Sagittarius) and other animals..

The 15^th & 16^th of June will be you feeling a little less connected again, but Mars is still in Aquarius your house of friends and social focus. Although you may not be feeling as gregarious as you were a few weeks ago, as Mercuy is in more sombre and domestic Cancer, with the Sun following shortly afterwards (moving to Cancer late 21^st June) there is a feeling of possibility and increased connectivity.

You will be looking at the potentials to rejig your finances (with Uranus now in the house which can change this area at the drop of a hat), and you will still be digging deeper into the shadow sides of your personality, as Jupiter completes its year sojourn; exploring the psychological depths of Scorpio.

The month ends with a rather sombre full Moon in Capricorn, which links up with Saturn in the sign he rules and bringing that sense of order and control, with a nod to financial stability, status and all of the parameters set upon those who allow this to be their fulcrum.

No doubt, politically this full Moon will bring an awareness of heaviness and constrictions, but what goes down will inevitably spring back up. Somehow. In some way and the winds of change are now shifting from fire pits (Uranus in Aries) to stubborn, dogged, determined and focused shifts in the money markets (Uranus in Taurus)…. {more about that later}

Gemini Forecast ~ April to June 2018

The month begins at the exact midpoint of ruling planet, Mercury’s retrograde cycle, as it meets up with the Sun in Aries.

You’ve already had that feeling of progress being halted for the last week or so and that will continue. Social areas will be most affected, along with the obvious communication breakdowns, IT issues and transport issues.

With Mars and Saturn also throwing some stalling energy to Mercury during the first week of the month, your intuition will feel blocked and areas of emotions which have been glossed over in the past will rise to the surface for acknowledgement. When Mars and Saturn get together it’s only the most mundane, planned and methodical approaches which work, you may have to resign yourself to this until the more uplifting creative energies begin on 7th April.

The second week of April in absolute contrast to the first; will be uplifting, hazy, romantic and dreamy. There will be a lovely balance of masculine and feminine energy with Venus and Mars bringing harmony on 11th and as they both allow uplifting, esoteric Neptune in on the act, this will be great week to share love and show the important people how much you appreciate them. Single Geminis should get out and about this week to take advantage of the connectivity.

As Mercury finally begins to move in forward motion on 15th April, anything you have been working on can actually start moving. The new Moon in Aries the following day may coincide with a social gathering or two and expect the unexpected, as this is the last chance for Uranus in Aries to throw a few curve balls of its own brand of humourous chaos into the mix.

This also heralds the move of Chiron from Pisces, to Aries. After a number of years of blocks and lack of progress in the career section of your life, opportunities will start to open up again and new recognition is likely (although more pronounced again in 2019).

Venus moves into your sign shining it’s spotlight onto your best traits from 24th April and making you feel appreciated, popular and like your charisma is even more effective and winning than ever. Although there will be problems at glitches to resolve on 25th & 26th April, probably at work, the month will end on a good note, although do watch out for the collision of Mars and Pluto. Together they can create marvellous passion, but suppressed they can explode out into uncontrollable rage. Public places; including roads, may be fraught with tension and geological manifestations such as falling rocks, and earthquakes become more likely.

On the contrary the first week of May is congenial, productive and upbeat. Ideas will be flowing again and your ruling planet, Mercury is now moving at full speed, able to gather and process information at the kind of pace that you most relish.

During the second week there is a notable build up to Uranus – the planet of chaos, revolution, invention and higher though – moving into Taurus for the first time since the 1942, after 7 years in Aries. Interestingly, as if to ease us in gently, Mars moves into Uranus ruled Aquarius on the 15th April also. As Mars rules Aries, this divine timing provides a very symbol transition period from the instant kinds of reactions of Aries, to the more steady, planned and controlled energies of Taurus. For you this is hidden, and less obvious area of your chart, and bringing a subconscious desire for change which can be best utilised through meditation and intuition.

{if you would like to understand how Uranus moving into Taurus affects you on a more personal level, then contact: waxlobster@hotmail.com for a £20 analysis}

Finances will be looking up towards the latter part of May, along with the desire to be a little more inclined to actually spend a bit of time looking into them in the first place!

When the full Moon on the 29th May in Sagittarius occurs, relationships and the balance between you and the closest people in your life will be in the spotlight. Since our solar 7th House is gregarious, fun, loving Sagittarius, this could bring cause to celebrate and indulge. Summer is nearly here, the Sun is in your sign and finally the stresses of day to day life can take a backseat.

June begins with a lovely set of warm, communicative and loving connections in the planet world. The warmth from these will be reflected in the atmosphere, and people are going to be a bit more kind and generous than they have for a while.

There may be a blip around the 7th when misunderstandings are going to be caused by low overall energy, and mid-June will bring us all promptly back down to earth.

On 13th although the new Moon in your sign connects warmly with Jupiter and promises fun and frivolity, the reality will be a lot more complicated, as egos start to inflate and bring to the surface wounds and unspoken words that will bring about a few conflicts.

Later in the month these issues will die down but when the Sun moves into Cancer for a morning Solstice on the 21st June, the crossfire with restrictive, serious, earthy Saturn will take centre stage and come to a head at the full Moon on 28th of the month. The energy is not alarming, as it is controlled and rather restrictive in nature but the beginning of June will be a far better time to celebrate and enjoy until the real Summer months begin.

Cancer Horoscope - April to June 2018

Things aren't very smooth at work at the moment really are they Cancer? The month begins with this is focus, as Mercury retrograde in your career house, meets up with the Sun in Aries, exacerbating these concerns. There's nothing else for it, but to surround yourself with great friends, and live it up a little. Venus in Taurus from 1st can at least promise you some fun, social times.

Relationships are under a bit of strain so far this year also, as Saturn in your opposite sign ask you to focus not just upon what you think you want, but to state your real needs candidly. With Mars also joining up here on 4th April, tensions will be high. The only way to work with this configuration is to stay focussed, planned and be as honest and measured as you can manage.

The second week of the month is far better, for all of us, as Venus and Mars the archetypal feminine and masculine planets join forces and add creative, inspirational Neptune into their circle. There will be a general 'feel good' factor to mid-April. Plan around it Cancer, use it to take a little time out, you've had a lot of stress on your shoulders so far this year but you can only really relax when you feel happy enough to appreciate it. The period from 7th April to 17th April will be uplifting and far more tranquil for you.

As Saturn turns retrograde on 18th the early Cancerians (those born up to 28th June) will start to feel under scrutiny once more. Look at this way; you cannot master anything in life unless you work hard to refine and improve at it, whilst Saturn opposite your Sun may seem oppressive, you will come out of it so much more knowledgeable, strong and capable.

{If you'd like to me to provide a focussed report of how Saturn in Capricorn is affecting you over the next 2 years or so, then I can do so for £20, just contact me at: waxlobster@hotmail.com}

The career focus continues however, despite Mercury retrograde taking his confusion and requests for refinements and flexibility from the focus on 15th April, you may begin to notice that your vulnerabilities are still at the fore, as Chiron joins Mercury in Aries. Interestingly this comes along to, in a sense, replace the chaotic 7 year sojourn of the planet of change and revolution; Uranus.

To surmise, although there will be more stability in your career life from mid-April, you may start to feel a need/desire to bring a more healing and compassionate element into your choice of workplace. With Chiron the planet which rules our deepest most vulnerable areas of ourselves, this area of your life, perhaps it's time to utilise your deeply compassionate and emotional nature and channel it into an area where it can really make a difference?

From 24th April, as Venus moves into Gemini try to take a little time out to nurture yourself, regenerate, and if you are so inclined; also meditate. The meet up between Mars and Pluto in your opposite sign on the 26th will be intense however. If you are in an unsatisfactory relationship at this time, issues will come to a head. If you are single, then this isn't a great time to meet somebody, it is however a great time to assess what you want vs what you need and look to beginning to manifest this into your life. Still things will be explosive in the outside world, as well as personal relationships, so take it easy at the end of the month Cancer.

May begins with a more positive, grounded and productive energy. With April ending on a Full Moon in compatible Scorpio, there is a sense of a new start. Just like an excellent brunch meet-up with friends, Sprummer has actually begun!

For the first half of the month, ideas are flowing, the heaviness has passed and your best qualities are coming to the fore. The new Moon on the 15th makes you want to socialise and let your hair down a little more and this will coincide neatly with Uranus moving into the social area of your chart.

I mentioned earlier about the desire to fined a little more meaning and a deeper level of fulfilment into your work world, and you may start to consider working in more charitable areas. Perhaps, considering whether your day to day life impacts the community and others who need help the most. Whilst Uranus is in Taurus you will have a lot more sway in these areas, and this influence lasts a mighty years. There is much your compassionate nature can accomplish in this time.

There's no rush, the planet of revolution, invention and genius is going to be stick around for a while. This period is the time when you consider potential change. Of course some of you will already be making waves in your lives, and so this is an opportune time to take advantage of your added influence in these areas. You have gravitas, people are willing to listen to you, where you are usually shy the serious caste from Saturn is actually giving you a deep confidence that you can utilise, rather than simply feel restricted by.

The Full Moon at the end of May gets you to the mundane focus. Facts, figures, balance, and are you eating well enough at the moment?

June begins with a loving, romantic essence to it. Single Cancerians will have a far more conducive time of it in the first half of June, although keep an eye on your intensity. Fun at first, depths can be explored in good time.

Mercury will be in your sign on 12th June and the new Moon in Gemini follows. Unexpressed feelings will be brought up for healing at this time. Arm yourself with a few of the close people, so you can be frank and comfortable, should you need to feel connected. (You probably will)

Finances finally take an upturn towards the end of June, in time for your special time of the year, the Summer Solstice – which will be at exactly 10:07am (UK time) – if you wish to note it.

Long-term plans will start to take centre stage at the end of the month as the build to the Full Moon on 28th June asks you to not only answer some serious questions, but also to pre-empt the future ones. No matter your age Cancer, this is a year where you're going to feel more grown up and mature, just try to remember how much more accomplished, experienced, wise and caring you will be at the end of it all though. ♥
