Cancer June 21st - July 21st

Collaboration with others to achieve goals can work very well this month and also the power of friendships should not be under-estimated, especially before the 9^th, and if born after July 11^th, social life will certainly be high profile. Good communication with and from friends will inspire. Many of you will also be experiencing a desire to work very hard and enthusiastically for what you believe in. You are very cause-orientated in a very constructive and intelligent way, as Mars is encouraging this energy.

However as the month matures, for some of you, there will be a need for privacy and some down-time, and indeed after the 15^th you may want to commune only with yourself, and behind-the-scenes work that is rather privately done, can be very effective and beneficial for the greater community.

Jupiter is currently in your solar 12^th house, which brings protection on a psychological level and a sense of preparation for a new beginning later this year for some, or next year for others of your sign.

If born June 26^th to July 1^st serious responsibilities are likely to be coming your way re children or romantic issues. Being extremely grown-up in dealing with these in a conscious way is the way forward and it is necessary to deal with them in the here and now and if you do, you are a winner as are those you deal with.

However Uranus, by contrast, and for those born a little later, between the 1^st and 5^th, is creating a little mayhem along with Pluto as he is bringing uncertainty and Pluto is bringing challenge. Feelings of insecurity at work and restlessness and a desire for change can be haunting you now, but be careful that you don’t jump out of a frying pan into a fire, but acknowledge the need to hang loose. Also be aware the dark side of the human condition can be drawn to you now through rather coercive people, and you yourself should draw healthy boundaries around your own behaviour if tempted to dominate or control. With such outer planet activity, the only thing one can do is stop and count to ten before action, thought or speech.

Neptune is sensitising the emotional intelligence now of those born June 26^th –28^th. Spiritual matters call and a new empathy enrich your creative and personal life.
