HOROSCOPES: THE WARM EMBRACE

The sun has officially moved into the sign of Gemini, the time of year when we get curious about the world around us, pay attention to the quality and quantity of information we share and receive, and let our thoughts wander into new territories of reverie. It is the season of fact-finding and fiction-making. Make sure you’re paying attention to which is which. This week is a good time to get serious about relationships, focusing on authenticity over breadth. Who do you consider true connections? With whom can you have difficult conversations, knowing they will still be around on the other side of the dialogue? On Thursday, Venus in Cancer forms a 90-degree square to Saturn in Aries. Think of this as the beautiful lover facing the critical eyes of the strict father. Love can be fun and games, but there are also hard truths that require attention. To work with this transit, acknowledge that all things beautiful require time and testing and try to incorporate that wisdom into your week. We also have a full moon in Sagittarius on Sunday, May 31. What grand belief will you build from the information you gather? How will you integrate the disparate bits of knowledge that you have into a cohesive wisdom? There is a level of faith required just to be alive and to get out of bed in the morning. Use this full moon to realize and nurture your faith, whatever that looks like for you. Here are your horoscopes for Venus square Saturn and the Sagittarius full moon. Read for your rising and sun signs. Gemini May 21 - June 20 Happy birthday season to all of our brilliant Geminis (myself so humbly included). Supporting yourself does not have to be burdensome. There are ways to survive AND experience love and joy. Taking to heart the hard truths that your friends share with you will only help you to achieve the abundance that you deserve. This full moon, appreciate an important partner in your life. Cancer June 21 - July 22 Loving yourself isn’t always easy, but it is absolutely necessary. Don’t shy away from seeing the beauty that you uniquely bring to the world. Feel your oats. That doesn’t mean traipsing around singing your own praises. Under this sky, you are being encouraged to be more restrained at work and in public. Use that as a power source. Under the full moon, get into a new daily routine. Leo July 23 - Aug. 22 You’re not known for your quiet repose, Leo, but solitude and reflection are necessary for everyone at times. What peace and love can you find in the quieter moments? What beauty awaits when you’re alone? Show some restraint in any grand adventures that call you away and choose your peace now. Under the full moon, do something creative to light your spark. Virgo Aug. 23 - Sept. 22 Take some time to appreciate all of the people in your life who show you love. You don’t have to do anything per se, just see and acknowledge. One of the best ways to do this is to be clear about your boundaries. Boundaries create relationships. See how you can negotiate your boundaries with those you love now. Under the full moon, come home. Libra Sept. 23 - Oct. 22 What do you love about the work you do? It doesn’t have to be everything, but it should certainly be something. Turn your focus to the things that you really enjoy and make those bigger in your awareness. An important partner in your life can help you define those things right now if you are struggling on your own. Under this full moon, say what you want to say. Scorpio Oct. 23 - Nov. 21 Pay attention to the adventures that are tugging on your heart strings. Where do you want to go? What do you want to learn? They might just be daydreams right now, and there is a lot of work you need to do — nose-to-the-grindstone sort of thing. But the work you accomplish now can support your dream adventures. Under the full moon, enjoy payday. Sagittarius Nov. 22 - Dec. 21 Vulnerability isn’t always easy, and you want to make sure you’re vulnerable with the right people, but it is something that will allow your heart to breathe out right now. You are getting serious about your creative projects at the moment, and the challenge is to make sure that you still can let your hair down with others. Under the full moon, check yourself out, babe. Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 19 Sometimes, our important life partners are taken for granted. That’s understandable because they get woven into the daily fabric of life. Under this sky, though, look at your partner with fresh eyes and fresh appreciation. There may be some challenges or hard lessons at home, but your partner can be a soothing presence. Under the full moon, find some quiet and retreat. Aquarius Jan. 20 - Feb. 18 Every day, we all have stuff we gotta do. Brush the teeth. Make the bed. Eat the food. Clean the clothes. These constant mundane tasks can be met with boredom and frustration. But you can also choose to approach your daily chores and routines with a love that reminds you that you GET to do them. Try that out right now. Under the full moon, be with friends. Pisces Feb. 19 - March 20 Follow your bliss, Pisces. That is good advice all the time, but right now in particular, there is a creative love in your heart that is just begging to be released. What do you have to share with the world? Make art for your own joy rather than any monetary hopes. Show some discipline in your spending and be creative instead. Under the full moon, show your face in public. Aries March 21 - April 19 Home is where your heart is right now. Being at home and with family, whatever that looks like for you, is a source of genuine grace. You are being more disciplined with yourself, which might make it hard to calm and regulate yourself at home. Do your best to appreciate your sanctuary when you can. Under this full moon, allow yourself to adventure past the horizon. Taurus April 20 - May 20 While you are finding new forms of discipline in your quiet solitude, you do not need to carry those hard boundaries out into the world with you all the time. Your local environment is a source of love and appreciation right now. Find your siblings, whether blood or chosen, and just sit in the harmony they create. Under this full moon, invest in what you want to grow and receive what you deserve.

We are closing out a concentrated period of expansive love and beautiful joy. The astrology of this week includes an extremely beneficial and supportive transit. Venus and Jupiter conjoined in the sign of Cancer on June 9. These planets are considered the two great helpers that provide positive, uplifting energy. Meeting up in Cancer is even more of a boon as Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, and its bountiful qualities are enhanced. We can think of this conjunction as a reminder about all that is good about our home and family, whether blood family, chosen family or our local community. This transit enhances that feeling of being embraced by what we have rather than striving for what we want. It asks us to realize that, in reality, we all already have all we need and all we could ever want. Jupiter has been in Cancer for about a year, and Venus met up with Jupiter last August. This conjunction, like all conjunctions, is a closing of one cycle and opening of a new one. 

Here are your horoscopes for Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer. Read for your rising and sun signs.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

This week is and has been a beautiful reminder of what you value and how you put your values into practice. When you make decisions in line with your fundamental values, you receive that energy back. You are able to meet your material and emotional needs when you find love and joy in the basics. Appreciating what you have now will increase your bounty.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

You are significant. All love begins with self-love, and this week is a reminder that you have the capacity to genuinely treat yourself with loving kindness. Take even the slightest moment to celebrate yourself and see how that energy ripples into every facet of your life. When you are your biggest supporter in a society that feeds you messages of inadequacy, you have already succeeded. 

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22

While Leos tend to grow and thrive under the spotlight, this week is a chance to remember the goodness of the quiet moments. Time spent in reflection, time spent processing your feelings, time spent thinking about how you might self-sabotage — highly valuable right now. Love and growth are waiting for you in your solitude, so relish in the silence you may have avoided.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22 

This week has been a reminder of who is surrounding you and supporting you. Bathe in the wisdom that when your hopes and dreams are clear, there are others who share your values and are readily willing to give you a boost. Who has been showing up for you this week? Hold them close and reciprocate their help because they will get you where you want to go.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

How did you shine in the public sphere this week? Perhaps you received a glowing review or promotion at work. Perhaps you went a little viral. Perhaps you were seen in your element by an audience of people. However you were embraced by the public, lean into that energy. Your public presence is being appreciated, and that is fertilizer for your soul.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

This week has been a joyful renewal of your faith. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you’ve returned to a religious tradition or had a glimpse of the divine (although it certainly could mean that), but rather you have been given something to believe in beyond the humdrum rat race. Embrace your faith in something bigger (or smaller) because faith alone can be fulfillment.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

Vulnerability is a gateway to life’s greatest joys right now. Opening yourself up, being seen by another and standing in your raw form will open a path to genuine love and happiness. How can you connect with another person when you are hiding behind a curated veil? Let trusted others in and you may be surprised just how much you can grow.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

None of us do life alone, no matter how solitary we may feel. This week is a reminder of the beautiful and bountiful power of partnership. Who holds up a mirror to you and is a reliable comrade? Celebrate them! Taking a partner for granted is a sure way to lose them, so relish in their presence and give them their flowers. 

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

Our bodies can do amazing things, particularly when we practice, practice, practice. What routines have you fallen into that bring about wellness and cohesion for you? This week is an invitation to romance the mundane. What daily practices can you ritualize in a way that makes them devotionals rather than chores? Lean into the magic that is available to you in the most routine tasks.

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20

Play is your birthright. There are times for work and for serious business, but the natural state of being for us living creatures is play and exploration in a world full of wondrous offerings. Let yourself experience pleasure and joy in ways that range from the minimal flirt to the grand artistic performance. This is a week of following your bliss, so don’t let any form of self-consciousness get in the way.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

This week, home is quite literally where the heart is. Home and family are balms for the soul right now. Let yourself experience the joy and happiness that are unique to your home sanctuary and the people who have known you the longest. Sure, these parts of life can also serve as great frustrations, but right now is the time to let those go and just embrace your roots.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

While familiarity can sometimes make things more invisible, it also makes things special. Your local neighborhood, your siblings and the way you communicate are basking in a rosy glow right now. Speak your heart to your friends and celebrate your immediate surroundings because you are treasured there. It is easy to miss things when they’re good, but don’t let that happen.
