May is winding down with a full moon capping off the end of the month. The moon on May 29 is known as the Flower Moon or the Milk Moon, and it is all about action. Whatever you have needed to do -- or whatever you have been avoiding -- it is time to take some responsibility. We've got no more excuses for inaction. That's one of the reasons why I was on the ball about making sure I got my horoscopes out before June 1.
My process for horoscope predictions is a pretty simple one: I shuffle my deck, think of an astrological sign and the month of June, and I pull a card. I meditate on what that card could mean over the course of 30 days, and from there I have a set of 12 horoscopes.

Before we get into the horoscopes for the month, let's talk some facts about the month of June.
June is the sixth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars, the second of four months to have a length of 30 days.
June contains the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, the day with the most daylight hours, and the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, the day with the fewest daylight hours.
The Latin name for June is Junius. The month is named after the Roman goddess Juno, the goddess of marriage and the wife of the supreme deity Jupiter; the second is that the name comes from the Latin word iuniores, meaning "younger ones."
Because June is the month of Juno, the Roman Goddess who presides over marriage and the family household, it is considered lucky to get married in the month of June.
Married in the month of June Life will be one long honeymoon
The 2018 Farmer's Almanac predicts a mix of hot and sunny with thunderstorms a'plenty in June. (This, of course, is for the region I am in.)
June presents perfect weather for meditations with the sun, mindfulness exercises, and enjoying water (swimming, fishing, and boating.)
H O R O S C O P E S
ARIES: There's a lack of control around you; you have given your power away to someone and now you are not so sure where to turn. You have the power to alter your path if you will only believe it. Stop making excuses for not changing your situation.
TAURUS: Success is yours...as long as you are prepared to work hard for it. That idea you have been toying with as far as starting a new career path is about to blossom. Be sensible and practical before making any leaps. Tie up loose ends and then jump!
GEMINI: When you are unable to break away from your own limitations, or learn the lessons that have been taught to you over the course of your life, you may find yourself falling into the same patterns again and again. You need to spend some time thinking about what you need to do to free yourself.
CANCER: It's time to celebrate the accomplishments of the people you love. While it is nice to have the spotlight on you, someone who works diligently, spreading the wealth of pride and appreciation will bring greater rewards. What is a home without people in it? What is a party without guests?
LEO: A good dose of self-reflection and alone time is needed right now. Your journey has been a long one. You need a breather before you can continue. Sit down and evaluate all that you have done -- the good and the bad. This is the time to review past actions and see what impact they have had on your life.
VIRGO: It seems like that setback of yours crash landed and you are scrambling as the dust settles. Now is not the time to get cocky; you are out of your depth. This is not the time to go off on your own. Seek out those who already have the tools necessary for the job.
LIBRA: You have been carrying quite a bit of pain with you for some time and it has stalled you on your journey. I ask you to consider what Kahlil Gibran states in the Prophet: "Much of your pain is self-chosen." It's time to forgive and let wounds heal. Only then will you truly begin to live again.
SCORPIO: All that hard work is finally paying off. You and your team have crossed the finish line and it is time to celebrate. Indulge a little bit; get dressed up and go out on the town. Tell people about what you have been working on. You deserve to celebrate all that you have done.
SAGITTARIUS: There is an intense pressure surrounding you and you have never felt so overwhelmed in your life. There is a particular situation that you know you need to distance yourself from, and unless you do it soon, it will consume you. Basically: you are at a breaking point. It is time to save yourself.
CAPRICORN: Something is up with your intuition and you just can't put your finger on it. You aren't trusting yourself to make the right decisions even though your gut has rarely ever led you astray. Don't ignore that inner calling. Seek guidance with the person you trust the most in order to re-calibrate.
AQUARIUS: It's time to get your hands dirty and make your home exactly as you have planned. Why? There's a great deal of growth coming your way and you'll need room to stretch out. A new, clean space will provide you all the comfort and inspiration you need.
PISCES: This is a familiar feeling...the hairs on the back of your neck have started to stand. There's a battle headed your way and you aren't sure from what direction. Know that you have means necessary to defend yourself. You won't be caught off-guard when someone tries to pull the rug out from under you this time.
