Turn inward, spend some quality time with your inner child and discover where Your Healing Sign sits in your chart. From this knowledge, you can transform your personal trials and tribulations into love and nourishment toward others.

June 21: Sun into Cancer
If you're famous for being objective, rational and thorough, don't be too hard on yourself right now -- because operating from your head is going to be next to impossible. And if you're usually so level-headed, well, let's just say that stocking up on some Kleenex and staying away from the Barry Manilow CDs might not be a bad idea. Either way, before you make any decision -- any decision at all -- be very, very sure that you talk it over with a friend whose judgment isn't affected by emotions. In other words, when it comes to advising others now, we'll all do just fine. When it comes to making our own emotional decisions, it may be a while before we can handle it alone.

June 23: Venus into Gemini
You've been thinking about settling down lately, and you may have done just that over the past three weeks. If so, congrats -- and don't stop now. Loving Venus, ruler of relationships, is off for quicksilver Gemini, a sign that won't waste even one second once it's made a decision. This combination never leaves us short on ideas. With Venus making her way through the sign of the twins for the next three weeks or so, you'll be amazingly creative when it comes to amusing your significant other -- or whoever it is you'd like to have fill that position. If you're single, needless to say, there's a romantic buffet en route. Just be sure the person you're eyeing is really who you want. Otherwise, things could become interesting next week -- and not necessarily in a pleasant way.

June 25: New Moon in Cancer
When you feel a fresh idea stirring, there's a good chance you're feeling it beneath a new Moon -- that particularly potent day each month when the Sun and Moon meet in the same sign. This time around, with the new Moon energizing homebody Cancer, there's a good chance your taste for something new will relate to issues of home, family and security. So call that 'family meeting' with your roommates, start researching your home-improvement project or consider inviting a friend or neighbor over for the first time ... you get the idea. You may not be able to put your finger on it, but you have a feeling that there's something you can do to achieve a greater sense of well-being in your personal space. Don't miss the opportunity!
This new Moon will most affect Cancers born June 23-27, Leos born July 24-28, Capricorns born December 23-27 and Aries born March 23-27.

June 28: Mercury into Leo
With summer in full swing in half of the world, many of us are making plans to get together with loved ones and break out the grill. And even if you haven't made any plans yet, you'll suddenly get the show on the road -- as of today. Movement-oriented Mercury is on its way into dramatic, entertaining Leo, and those two are ready to make a party out of any gathering, big or small. So start making some calls and surrounding yourself with the ones you love. After all, if you play your cards right, you can keep this festive, celebratory energy going straight through the weekend!

From I-Village.com Astrology

Rest up while you can! On June 19, Uranus turns retrograde, bringing his flair for the unusual to a planet near you. Until the ruler of rebellion returns to direct motion on November 20, you may notice an increase in personality transformations or oddball news reports; indeed, the conventional wisdom for the next few months is 'Expect the unexpected.' Now, those of you with well-worn PDAs and perfectly up-to-date planners might find that advice less than reassuring. But the key to success these days is to go with the flow. That mind of yours is brimming with untapped talents and innovative ideas, and Uranus is bound and determined to set them free!

Uranus established his reputation as our solar system's renegade long ago. But this planet is very much a rebel with a cause, namely humanitarianism, creativity and breaking with tradition. During his retrograde journey, that energy -- which typically plays out on a more collective scale -- is focused inward. Is there a cause you want to get involved with? a pottery class you've had your eye on? a certain bohemian side of yourself that you haven't seen in a while? Seize this chance to celebrate your individuality and move beyond the status quo.

Of course, a period known for erratic, unusual behavior might not be the best time to act on every brilliant idea. But these upcoming months are your golden opportunity to think outside the box in ways that the 9-to-5 world of convention doesn't always allow. Experiment with new modes of expression to find the one that suits you best (pens, food, clothes, music ... no doubt you have ample tools all around you). By late November, you may find that you're ready to share what you've learned with the world.

Here's to making Uranus's retrograde period the start of something much bigger!

Moon 20.41 Sagittarius

INSPIRATION. Traditionally the full Moon of Gemini/Sagittarius is celebrated as the festival of goodwill for humanity, a moment in the lunar year to enter more fully into the importance of our role as a member of the larger consciousness of humanity. Our souls are jointly singing humanity’s story at this moment. Listen to that collective chorus. Hear the sounds and words of our histories, our hopes, our plans, our visions, our legends, our myths, our languages, our beliefs and our most deeply held truths. This is a special time to observe the realities and facts we can perceive if we but focus our Gemini intelligence. Let us also invite the Sagittarian spiritual truths and intuitive knowledge that can inspire our minds, for it is through mind that we think ourselves and our world into experience.
