If Your Birthday is June 4
(The Day of Critical Expertise) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
The more you do, the more you’ll discover that you’re capable of. The more you’re capable of, the more you’ll want to do. That’s how it is when you get your creative fire pumping, and you’ve certainly been moving energy. Remember, a little discipline goes a long way. Being brilliant counts for triple score when your work comes in on time.

Written in the Planets
Certain inner planet aspects today suggest that you might encounter a scenario or figure that prompts a specific emotional response. Remember that you’re human, not a robot, and that total control over your feelings is neither possible nor necessary. Indeed, instinct can be a handy guide to truths not easily found through analysis. Being open to the full and vivid palette of your emotions might be considered just another definition of being alive.

If Your Birthday is June 3
(The Day of Fluent Expression) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You have every advantage going for you, so take initiative about what you want. Make the conscious choice to live your dreams, and then take action. Creative expression, whether for fun or professional advancement, gleams out of your anniversary chart. So does sex appeal. Be bold, be experimental, and live a little closer to the edge than usual.

Written in the Planets
Synchronicity is surprising in the moment. Yet it often leads to unanticipated developments of the kind that make perfect sense when you look back on them in hindsight. Openness sets the stage for synchronicity; a willingness to step into the unknown — to follow the synchronicity — is what creates the unexpected path that later makes sense. A Venus-Uranus conjunction in Aries is making a trine to the Galactic Core. Today is a day to experiment and be open to synchronicity. Seek new experiences, especially in love and creativity — though not to the point of being aggressively willful. It’s still wise to see the world as it truly is, and to be prudent with your money.

Watching the Wheels

Dear Friend and Reader:

The other day, looking at some astrology charts, and comparing them to the front pages of major news websites, I had an odd feeling. It was the sensation that the planets are going around and around, and the news is going around and around, which came with a question: does this story ever culminate?

Is there ever even a turning point where it’s possible to say that there’s some improvement in the human condition? I reckon that many sensitive, aware people are past the point where they think all we need to do is hope and pray.

Is astrology — and life — a trip on the Mad Teacup Ride?

I started to get inside the feelings of someone who is aware of current events and, following the astrology, is waiting for a day when there’s going to be some breakthrough, some sense of relief. Considered emotionally, the state of the world is, in a word, overwhelming. That counts whether you want to do something about it, or you’re in a position where you know you can’t do anything.

Notice something vital: what we think of as news coverage gives no hint how to process the material spiritually, or how to respond any other way. I’ve long found this to be curious. What, exactly, is the purpose of “the news,” except to influence and harvest public opinion? What are we supposed to do with everything we learn? How is it possible to process all the pain and struggle we’re exposed to?

The other day, The New York Times editorial board published a commentary called The Groundhog Day War in Afghanistan, pointing out that this military action has gone on nonstop for 16 years, at a cost of $800 billion and 2,000 American lives, “Where there is still no peace, and where everything seems to be going backward.”

If Your Birthday is June 2
(The Day of the Problem Solvers) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You may be in a position to try your luck — or even to rev it up a few notches if you feel like you’re already in the flow. This is not the same as being cocky or extravagant. Rather, think of this opportunity as being more like an energy drink in astrological form. Stay disciplined, conscientious and compassionate, and lean into your more productive traits.

Written in the Planets
With a beautiful pattern forming in the mutable signs, you might ask yourself what you’re itching to change or shift. Do you need to reclaim your creativity? Balance your beliefs with some action, or balance your mind and mouth with some soul? Focus your physical and creative energy on healing something? Today the Virgo Moon moves into alignment with Mars in Gemini, Pholus in Sagittarius and Chiron in Pisces. Look for the pattern that has run its course; the first step in the plan; the organizing principle. You may recognize the key that turns the lock by the way it ‘threatens’ to shake things up and let them loose on some unknown trajectory. Hint: that is not actually a threat.

If Your Birthday is June 1
(The Day of the Popular Eye) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You’ve reached an important turning point in your life, where being emotionally honest with yourself is all that matters. This is a big step, and you’re ready to take it. If you’re ever trying to convince yourself of something, stop and ask yourself what you’re really feeling. Don’t be afraid to do what intimidates you, or the people around you.

Written in the Planets
Chiron’s long square to Pholus is one of the defining aspects of this year. Eric has previously suggested that any event with centaurs involved is going to relate to healing past difficulties in some way, because this is the broad theme of the centaur mythology. This particular iteration speaks of habits, and how to break patterns that make us feel stuck. The first point is to understand what needs to change and why. The second is to foster determination. That includes being willing to seek help if you need it. Finally, we may still be wild animals in many ways despite self-consciousness, but we do have the ability to master our impulses, though it takes practice and effort. You can get to where you need to be, if you want to.

If Your Birthday is May 31
(The Day of the Cutting Edge) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
If you were to find yourself face-to-face with the Meaning of Life, what would you do? Or, to put it another way, how do you respond — in tangible, active ways — to the idea of ‘purpose’ in your life? One way to look at this hypothetical situation is that it describes any relationship you find yourself in. Once you see the purpose of the relationship, you’ll know what you need to do within it to serve the higher good of all concerned.

Written in the Planets
You can dig deep today. In fact, you’ll probably enjoy doing so — whether that means sleuthing a mystery, engaging in deep study, or diving into some therapeutic process or introspection. Mercury in Taurus trine Pluto in Capricorn could make this opportunity quite tangible, perhaps having to do with your body. Whatever it is you investigate, you’ll want understand its roots; better yet, you’ll want to feel them. Meanwhile Mars in Gemini opposite the Great Attractor in Sagittarius could make it seem like ‘the truth’ or ‘real meaning’ is outside of yourself. Don’t be fooled — that’s just a mirror. Remember what they say: as within, so without.

If Your Birthday is May 30
(The Day of Nimble Time) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You know that when you put your mind to it, you’re capable of serving a truly great purpose with your ideas. As in, devising or communicating the kind of altruistic project that makes life better for everyone involved. See what you can do to tap into that side of yourself today. Remember that it starts with feeling compassion — which is a function of your heart, not your mind. The brainstorming of solutions happens as a result of that deeper connection.

Written in the Planets
Part of owning one’s sexual energy is knowing what you desire, and then choosing to be clear in attracting it or asking for it. Are you aware of when you use less-than-direct tactics to get someone else to take the lead in giving you something you want? Today Venus conjoins Eris in Aries. On the one hand, this could merge their qualities in a very bold, assertive and obvious way — even if it’s surprising or causes momentary chaos. Yet sometimes a conjunction between planets can create a blind spot in one’s awareness. In this setup, that blind spot could be where manipulation hangs out. As unsettling as chaos can be, ultimately it gives everyone involved the opportunity to choose clearly for themselves how to respond. If you’re feeling compelled to “change and become,” it’s okay to own that process fully, and to embrace not knowing what the outcome will be.

Small Meets Large: A Week of Culmination

The theme of this week is about intimate inner planets (Venus, Mars and Mercury) encountering slow-moving mighty outer planets (Saturn, Chiron, Neptune and Eris).

Even when just one of the local, personal planets (such as Venus) encounters one of the “gods of change” (as they’re sometimes called), it’s noticeable, and there can be a personal revelation: a limit reached, a phase begun, a decision made, a turning point arrived at.

Fractals by Barbara Lane.

From Sunday, through the Memorial Day (U.S.) holiday and well into the week, this happens dependably and repeatedly, so you can expect actual movement in the human realm: lots of shuffling, feelings expressed, people to respond to, and resolving to finally do what you want to do.

Then soon after, Mercury, Venus and Mars all change signs. In the most personal realms of life, there are finally some changes coming, and how you handle them can shape your experience of the next few weeks.

You or others might be feeling internal pressure, impatience, or resolve to finally make some progress, try something new, or even conduct a wild experiment or two. The most important thing is that you not assume everything is done moving and shaking; we’re in the midst of a long series of shifts that persists for nearly two weeks.

If Your Birthday is May 29
(The Day of Quicksilver) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You have some excellent opinions and you feel passionately about them, though you’ll make better progress if you maintain a dignified air when you’re presenting yourself. This is true for written ideas but even more important when you’re in person with people — when you cannot edit or delete. You need to trust yourself when you’re thinking on your feet.

Written in the Planets
Today’s Mars-Saturn opposition might feel as if you have a lot of energy available and are not quite sure where to put it. Having something constructive to focus on, preferably congenial and relevant to a long-term goal, could be useful. Make definite plans as far as you’re able, and minimize loss of time through the less meaningful forms of distraction. Keep your vocation in mind.

If Your Birthday is May 28
(The Day of the Innovative Trailblazer) | Gemini Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You’re in the process of freeing yourself and your ambitions to approach new heights. That means standing in your own power, which might feel a little scary, especially if it’s a relatively new sensation. However, the more you act in accordance with your integrity and ethics, the easier your newfound independence will become.

Written in the Planets
Adherence to laws and social norms is viewed in certain circles as an indicator of moral character. Like other such indicators, it’s only partly reliable; the history of civil disobedience and the civil rights movements make that clear. If progress is to occur at all, sometimes we must break the rules; and this in itself can be a moral imperative. Aspects by Mars today serve as a reminder that you have, at minimum, the right to question a precept if it conflicts with your sense of justice or your conscience. It’s called democracy.
