On the 21st the Sun enters your 3rd house. Thus it is time to expand your mind and to catch up on all the letters and e-mails you owe. Good for taking courses, teaching or writing.
A business partnership or joint venture is likely after the 16th – you may or may not do this, but the opportunity is there. (The horoscope never takes away our free will.)

You are just coming off a yearly financial peak and now more is happening. Jupiter enters your money house on the 5th, bringing new financial opportunity and expansion. Jupiter is always a good luck planet, but in your chart he is even more so – for he is lord of the 9th house – one of the most benevolent houses in the horoscope. So the focus on finance is still very strong. Earnings are positive. They can come from foreigners, foreign countries or companies or through investments in foreign countries. This is a good period to take courses that will benefit your financial life. You are spending on higher education and can also earn from this field. Investors should look at ‘for profit’ universities for opportunities.
The planetary power is now mostly in your 3rd house of communication and intellectual interests. Still a good period (actually even better) to do the things mentioned last month.
Health is still excellent overall, but after the 21st becomes more delicate. You have two long-term planets stressing you out (Pluto and Saturn) and now the short-term planets join in (the Sun and Mercury). Rest and relax more. Pace yourself. Enhance your health by paying more attention to your lungs, small intestine, arms and shoulders until the 16th and to your stomach (and breasts if you are female) after the 16th. Be more careful in dietary matters after the 16th.
There are many other significant changes happening this month as well. The planets will start to shift from the eastern sector, where they have been so far this year, into the western, social sector. This month is just the beginning; next month the western sector will be stronger than the eastern. But you are feeling the psychological shift even now.
Also we have two eclipses this month – and these always bring change and upheaval. There is a solar eclipse on June 1 and a lunar eclipse on June 15. These eclipses are basically benign to you, but it won’t hurt to take a reduced schedule anyway.
The solar eclipse of June 1 takes place in your 3rd house. This will test your car, computers, phone equipment and communication systems. If there are problems with these things, you will find out about them now so you can correct them. The eclipse also brings drama in the lives of neighbours and siblings. Students (below university age) perhaps even change schools, or the school itself undergoes changes – perhaps in leadership or in the rules. Every solar eclipse tends to affect your children (or those who are like children to you). It brings drama into their lives, and perhaps changes in your relationship with them.
The lunar eclipse of the 15th occurs in your 9th house. Again, students are affected – but this time those at university or postgraduate level. Perhaps they change their focus of study or the university they’re attending, or have to deal with upheavals. The 9th house deals with a person’s ‘personal religion’ – their philosophy of life, their world view. So these things – your beliefs, your view of the world, your faith – get tested. And this is good. It gives you a chance to correct and modify them. These modifications will affect every area of your life – and if they are good modifications, it will improve every area of your life.

For many months the eastern sector of self – of personal independence – contained 80 and sometimes 90 per cent of the planets. This is a huge, huge percentage. This month (for most of the month), the East and the West are balanced, and by next month the West will contain more planets than the East. So you are in a period to start developing your social skills. Others are less inclined to bow to your will. In fact, your way may not be the best way now. Consider the perspectives of others. You will need to attain your aims by consensus and compromise rather than by sheer force of will. Also, you will now have an opportunity to ‘road test’ your previous creations. Now you have to live with what you created in the past. Adapt to conditions as best you can. In a few more months, when the East gets strong again, you will be able to make the changes or adjustments that need to be made.
Most of the planets are below the horizon and your 4th house of home and family is very strong. So you can downplay career and focus on family and domestic issues. Now you serve your family by being there for them – by spending more time with them. Also it is very good to find and maintain your point of emotional harmony.
Home and family are important for another reason. There is a solar eclipse on the 1st in your 4th house. These eclipses tend to bring crisis in the family – perhaps there is a need for an unexpected repair in the home. If there are ‘underworld creatures’ in the home (mice, rats, bats or other kinds of vermin) they will reveal themselves now. There are dramas in the lives of children (or those who are like children to you) and other family members – especially parents or parent figures. The eclipse forces changes in the home and family situation that have long needed to be made.
Health is still delicate until the 23rd. Don’t allow yourself to get overtired or run down. Review the health tips in the yearly report. Also enhance health by paying more attention to your stomach and breasts (if you are female) until the 2nd, to the heart from the 2nd to the 28th and to the small intestine after the 28th. Happiness – just of itself – is a powerful therapy from the 2nd to the 28th. No matter how many crises you face, you are inwardly free to be happy. You can face them with ‘grim set teeth’ or from a place of happiness. The latter will improve your health.
Once you get past the eclipse, you start to enter a yearly personal pleasure peak. This begins on the 23rd. A time for fun, leisure activities, spending more time with children and exploring your personal creativity. For singles this is a time for love affairs.

Retrograde activity increases this month, with 40 per cent of the planets are in retrograde motion. Also, most of the planets are in the West, as mentioned. So progress is slower. Retrogrades introduce all kinds of delays and glitches, but many planets in the West also slow you down. You can’t act too independently – you have to wait on decisions from others. This often takes time. A good lesson for Aries – learning patience.
With all the delays going
