June promises to both industrious and spiritual all at the same time. Change is a constant as the season for eclipse madness officially commences. For the first part of June, you're under the influence of the New Moon lunar eclipse in your work sector. Between now and your birthday, expect your everyday regime to change (and your profession itself may change too). If you've been meaning to make changes to your health or diet patterns, use the powerful energy of the New Moon on 1 June. Mars enters this same work/health sector of your horoscope on 20 June, revving up your productivity levels; you’ll have plenty of ambition to work and to work out. The Full Moon lunar eclipse in your sector of sleep, dreams and spirituality arrives on the 15th, urging you to take time away from the office and get in touch with nature. This would be the perfect week for a vacation or a retreat. At the very least get some time away in quiet solitude around this time. (A beach or spa would both do nicely).

Do they not know I have to deliver an Intranet this month - vacations?! I suspect not this month!

Your June Monthly Forecast: Is June going to be a month of deja-vu? Will you go through what you have gone through before and wind up in situations that seem uncannily similar to past experiences? Will you relive old dramas and revisit familiar scenarios? Yes. But there still can be substantial change, either from some dramatic leftfield development or through some determined decision on your part to start living life differently from now on. In that, your greatest source of power lies. Smile sweetly and say, nicely but clearly, what you want. And you'll yet break amazing new ground.

Oh dear if it's anything like June 2001 I am going to be very busy!

Capricorn

On cruise control, or at the start of something big?

For those of you born in December, your stars are fairly screaming the latter case. The rest of you …well, there’s never much of a coffee break for any Capricorn, but let’s say your stars are less urgent, unless you were born in the years of nineteen hundred and ’52, ‘68 or ’81, in which case you can count yourself a member of the Saturn Reconstruction Club, more of which later.

There are jolly plots afoot for all in June however. The arrival of Jupiter, planet of largesse, in your fifth house this week is a signal that matters of the heart will demand a far more prominent place over the next twelve months, not just love affairs but kids, grandchildren, personal passions/obsessions, and downright showing off. With Venus and Mars briefly in the same zone – in Taurus, fellow earth sign – June looks just the ticket for a spot of self-advertisement and partying.

You might also factor in some me-time of the mind/body/spirit kind. The total lunar eclipse of the 15th falls in the most private, reclusive sector of your ‘scope, where the reckoning is between you and your conscience/karma/creator and, frankly, no-one else’s business. A perfect time, in short, to confront skeletons in the closet and put in a spot of selfless service to deserving souls in your orbit.

Confrontation of a different sort arrives with the summer solstice, when the Sun shifts into your opposing yet associated sign of Cancer. The implications of next month’s eclipse in said sign will follow, enough to say that the Sun’s opposition to Pluto on the 28th is not the time to try and bully anyone, especially anyone close to you.

Pluto! Don’t be fooled by the loveable cartoon hound named after it, or astronomy’s downgrade of it – Pluto is the planet of players and plutocrats. Birthdays up to December 29 have already had a taste of its transformative powers, which can elevate and enrich or meltdown. In the former case, use your power wisely. In the latter, confront the darkness and reclaim the light (psychology can help).

Saturn, Capricorn’s no-nonsense governor, turns to forward motion after several months in retreat. For most of you this is either business as usual with added responsibilities, but those in the reconstruction Club (see above) are at a pivotal point when the consequences of decisions count for years rather than months. How much change do you want, and in what area of your life? Fearless honesty provides the right answers.

Auspicious day of the month: the 16th and 17th. Good for business at least.
