Horoscope: June 2, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



It’s not that you’ve been deceptive but, rather, you assumed certain facts were unimportant. Only now are you realising  they’re crucial. Unsettling as the resulting chaos may be, what you learn when gathering the necessary information will be essential for you and others, enough to make up for a bit of disarray.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



With both the Sun and your ruler Venus now accenting the wise use of your resources, it’s time to examine certain longstanding arrangements. These have become so routine that you barely give them thought. But circumstances have changed and, once you ask a few questions, you’ll realise these arrangements must as well.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



Hopefully you’re still benefitting from the frank conversations indicated by the superb link between your ruler Mercury and the planet of truth and transformation, Pluto. While some were perfectly clear cut, others don’t yet make sense. Be patient. What you learn once all those facts come together will be amazing.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



You don’t really think of it. But when otherwise serene situations are upset by sudden, and tense, issues, you’ve a knack for calming everybody concerned. Now, however, you’re encouraged to do the reverse. Certain individuals need to be shaken out of their lethargy, and this is the moment to do it.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Relinquishing your control over arrangements you helped create and have kept going won’t be easy. The real problem is you fear others won’t lavish the time, thought and care you have on these. They may not, but that’s their business. You’ve other things to do, and it’s time you moved on.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Ordinarily when others mix up dates or get the details of certain matters wrong, you’re fairly sure the error is theirs. However, with the retrograde Mars in the portion of your chart that accents exactly such issues, mistakes you made in the past are likely to surface, and often with embarrassing suddenness.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



As a Libra, you have a powerful instinct about what others are ready to discuss and deal with and, equally, what could overwhelm them. Thus, recently, you’ve sidestepped certain topics. While that was wise at the time, circumstances have changed suddenly and dramatically, enough these now need to be talked overfrankly.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



While every sign will face some variety of challenge during this rather difficult week, those coming your way are likely to involve practical, financial or business matters. While some will be straightforward and take little time to resolve, others will be far more complex and so demand investigation and considerable reflection.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



By no means are you narrow minded. Yet recently you’ve dismissed certain ideas or offers without even asking questions about them. Your reaction was based on past experience. While sometimes that’s wise, the influence of the coming New Moon is all about a fresh perspective, which is exactly what you need.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



If you’re uneasy about certain already complex arrangements, it’s no surprise. This is a tricky week in a complicated period. However, it’s unlikely things will come to a head until two weeks from now, when your ruler Saturn’s clash with Neptune, planet of illusion, forces everything out in the open.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



After weeks of tiptoeing around tricky issues, you’re exasperated and others aren’t much happier about things. The real problem is that nobody’s willing to take the initiative and ensure these are discussed frankly and dealt with properly. Judging by the current planetary setup, events will give you no choice.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Sometimes the New Moon comes and goes without anybody noticing. However, because this Sunday’s accents the family or domestic issues you’ve been wrestling with, the odds are good you’ll finally make some breakthroughs. However much you anticipate them, it’s likely the form they take will be a complete surprise.
