June 2nd – 8th
Aries
The time is now for getting to know your neighbors. Consider the miscommunication of Mercury retrograde as some sort of gift in disguise. Grace is still leading the way. The new moon encourages being with siblings and close friends. This a wonderful time for making art, writing a script or sending a text message.
Taurus
Money is what you’re famous for. Now is the time that you want more. Being ethical about how you deal with your money is also important. Food issues and anything that implies sensuality has got your ears burning. The new moon emphasizes chocolate cake and cherry pie. Spending money on yourself will be more than a temptation.
Gemini
If there was anytime in which you could renew and transform yourself, I would think now is the time. The new moon in Gemini is all about you. Venus in Gemini is making you look good, while Mercury retrograde in Gemini proves that words have power. Take a fresh start at accomplishing lifelong goals.
Koz divines the intangible for the other signs after the jump.
Cancer
Forgive yourself for your weakness and forgive others for their weaknesses as well. The new moon encourages you to pay attention to your dreams. Isolate yourself from things that overwhelm you. Visit someone in jail or in a hospital. Take time out for yourself to be alone, preferably in a beautiful natural setting.
Leo
Move more fluidly through your social universe. You’ll have the free time available to see friends and to make new friends. The new moon in your 11th house rules parties, socials and meetings. You enjoy a greater sense of freedom. Planning for the future is important as well. Seek better business connections.
Virgo
The spotlight is on you. Whatever your talents and skills are now is your time to shine. Think of your mother’s best abilities and know that some of that is with you. The new moon rules career opportunities, technical fields and being a “Jack of all Trades” or a “Jill of all Skills.†Move with a sense of grace.
Libra
This is one of the happiest times of the year for you. It’s also one of the luckiest times of the year. Love may come in an exotic form. The flowers and joys of life are a mystery yet to be explored. Take more chances. Break out of the box. The new moon helps to restore excitement and enthusiasm.
Scorpio
Your truth is real to you even if no one else appears to be listening. You need to be a public leader or performer with a certain place for intimacy with friends. Sex, death and other people’s possessions are the “soup du jour” for you. Be happy about the things we can’t control. Ask for help when you need it.
Sagittarius
Is your head up in the clouds, or is your nose just up in the air? Love comes to you so easy under this new moon. I hate encouraging someone that needs no encouragement like you. You’re in the eye of the hurricane. There is so much peace that you can just rest in it. Take advantage of this magical time.
Capricorn
Good luck needs to partner up with hard work this week. Keeping your nose to the grindstone will produce results. Service work and teamwork are emphasized. The new moon asks you to look at personal health issues, and the need to donate to charity. Get your life more organized. Get fit enough to fit into a bathing suit.
Aquarius
Love is everywhere you make it happen. Consider this a time to be happy. In your heart there is a deep sense of contentment. Personal projects move forward even if at a snail’s pace. The new moon opens your heart to creative expression, love affairs and children. If you have kids, you need to play with them.
Pisces
Being as sensitive as you are allows you to take family matters to a deeper level. Home and domestic issues are your priority. Make things feel cozier. The new moon puts your heritage and your father’s family more in focus. Your psychic levels are high. Your sense of memory and smell is heightened and sharpened.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Moira McGuiness, 6/5/61; Holly Near, 6/6/49; Curtis Mayfield,
