WEEK OF June 3 – 9, 2024
For the past three weeks, you’ve been hosting quick-change-artist Mercury in your sign, which has probably been equal parts stimulating and exhausting. So when the buzzy messenger planet wings into Gemini and your second house of money and security on Monday, June 3 (until June 17), you can get back to a more comfortable pace. Hopefully, Bull, you managed to capture a few of last month’s shimmering brainstorms because now, during this more grounded two-week period, you can run them through the reality filter to see which, if any, are worth developing. Here’s where normal Taurus speed is a huge advantage! Keep at it and apply steady pressure, and your efforts are likely to hit pay dirt.
Not a trick question: Do you actually know the difference between a want and a need? You might get clarity on that this Tuesday as beautifying Venus teams up with the dramatic Sun in your second house of security and possessions. You work hard for your money and value it, Bull, yet when you encounter a store window laden with gorgeous things, those beaded or fringed “luxuries” suddenly seem obligatory to possess. While there’s nothing wrong with occasionally indulging yourself—and you do have fabulous taste!—if you’re saving up for new wheels or a summer vacay, you need to call up a bit more self-discipline. Don’t turn it into “punishment” or “deprivation.” Focus on your highest goals and how wonderful it will feel to afford those big-ticket items without going into debt!
More good financial news comes this Thursday as the year’s only Gemini new moon powers up your second house of money, values and security. New moons sweep in exciting prospects and a wealth of opportunities—but with a caveat. You have to do your part. The universe is infinite, but you can’t expect to click and receive without paying your dues. Which means, update your resume and professional bios, including flattering, site-appropriate photos. Then hatch a plan that can get you where you want to be by the corresponding Gemini full moon on December 15. Be confident—and patient. The first offer that comes your way might look good on paper but wind up being a 60-hour-a-week slog…or dead-end. And when a truly tempting offer IS tendered, be a tough negotiator.
Get ready for a mega power surge starting this Sunday as high-octane Mars charges into your sign until July 20. The motivational planet hasn’t visited your sign since early 2022—and won’t be back for another two years after this. As excited as you may be to gun your engines, take a minute to adjust. Since April 30, Mars has been revving in Aries, activating your twelfth house of rest, transitions and spirituality. You may have felt simultaneously restless and adrift as you processed everything from sugar addiction to intergenerational trauma to your own intuitive gifts. Now it’s time to decide what to do with all that. Assess your environment and map out a few major, yet attainable, goals. Then set some deadlines and forge ahead till you reach your first milestone. Luckily, Mars comes loaded with motivation, helping you stay stoked. Sidestep any co-dependency tendencies. The universe is cueing you to put yourself back at the top of the priority list.
