Ed’s Note..
Well, I have to say it’s really been a bit of a whirlwind this year I can’t believe it’s June already. So what’s in store this month? Will they or won’t they? June 23rd sees the Brexit (EU referendum) vote, if the UK do exit the EU what will it mean for us expats here on the Costa del Sol… Euro 2016 kicks off in France on June 10th to July 10th lots of great games to look forward too there. The 19th of June is Fathers Day in the UK (although I sometimes feel that everyday is Fathers day!) On the 23rd June it’s San Juan, or ‘The Burning of Saint John’s Moustache’, the one night of the year where you are allowed to camp on the beach and have bonfires. This happens along the coast and is a great fun event so pack up your sleeping bag and join in the fun. The tradition is to dip your feet in the sea at midnight for good luck - well it’s a worth a try isn’t it! The 30th of June sees Wimbledon 2016 start… Make the most of June as July sees the kids break up for the oh-so-long summer holidays! Have a great month and remember, keep smiling.

A Woman’s World
MEN V’S WOMEN THE REAL DEAL…
Men are like…Laxatives; they irritate the crap out of you. Men are like…Bananas; firmness decreases with age. Men are like…The weather; nothing can be done to change them. Men are like…Blenders; you need one, but you’re not really quite sure why. Men are like…Chocolate; sweet, smooth & they usually head straight for your bottom. Men are like…Adverts; you can’t believe a word they say. Men are like…Mascara; they usually run at the first sight of emotion. Men are like…Popcorn; they satisfy you, but only for a little while. Men are like…Thunder storms: you never know when they’re coming, how many inches you’ll get or how long it will last.
It’s science baby…
A recent scientific study found that women find different male faces attractive depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle. For example, when a woman is ovulating she will prefer a man with rugged, masculine features. However, when she is menstruating, she prefers a man doused in petrol and set on fire, with scissors stuck in his eye and a cricket stump shoved up his backside.

JAY Z BREAKS SILENCE ON THOSE LEMONADE CHEATING RUMOURS… 'When life gave Beyonce lemons, she made $8,000,000. And in
the process, she left the entire world wondering what happened between her and JayZ. Everyone was desperate to know if it all had something to do with that infamous Solange elevator video, and the 21st century version of a witch-hunt, the social media take-down, began to weed out all possible "Becky with the good hair"s. The B-hive was well and truly rattled. The rapper has released a remix of Fat Joe and Remy's hit, All The Way Up, with some less-than-subtle (ahem, WELL obvious) references to Lemonade and all of those cheating allegations. "You know you made it when the fact that your marriage made it is worth millions/Lemonade is a popular drink and it still is/Survival of the littest,” and to make matters even more DRAMZ, he then goes on to address the Solange elevator slap with, "We never gonna let the elevator take 'em down," See. Solid proof that Jay is trying to tell us something. We’re just not entirely sure what it all means yet. Although it all could just be an extremely well planned publicity stunt..?
LIFE ON MARBS CANCELLED BY ITVBE: 'There are no plans for a second series'.
Natalie Anderson, Alex Weaver and Cassie Rowan became famous on show LIFE on Marbs has been cancelled. To be honest it was great to look and think ‘ooooo I’ve been there’, it’s just down the road etc. but it was a bit of a train wreck… The ITVBe reality series - which starred Natalie Richardson, Alex Weaver and co living it up in the Spanish holiday resort - aired for one season in 2015 but will not be coming back. Alex Weaver continued to make headlines, welcoming a son recently after a surprise pregnancy. TOWIE stars are already flocking to our shores… Bring on the new season later this year!

Ever Wonder...
Why... the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin? Why... do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters? Why... do we leave cars worth thousands of euros in our driveways and put our useless junk in the garage?
Why... do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke? Why... can’t women put on mascara with their mouth closed? Why... don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'? Why... is 'abbreviated' such a long word? Why... is it that doctors and attorneys call what they do 'practice'? Why... is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?
Why... is the man who invests all your money called a broker? Why... is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why... is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours?

And on to the bedroom... A bedroom should be a space where you can relax and feel relaxed,
at any time day or night, close the door behind you and it is your own sanctuary. White Design Company has a large range of beds and bedroom furniture for you to choose from. The beauty of a bedroom greatly depends upon the quality of the furniture. But that's not all. Any interior space can be enhanced using decorative pieces but I cannot stress enough the importance of soft furnishings in this room more than any other.
I absolutely love my bed. My advice is to buy the best mattress you can; We spend a lot of time in bed and should be re charging our batteries. There are many types to choose from. Memory foam
18
(visco) or Latex are very popular, however we sell a lot of orthopaedic mattresses as some people find memory foam too warm. Whether combined with springs or a high density foam core, it will lead to a really good night’s sleep. If you have tried Memory foam or Latex you will not want to go back, just imagine waking up with no aches or pains. You do have to get used to it though and then, believe me you will be back for pillows to match. We have a very good range of mattresses, pillows and toppers for you to try and to suit all budgets, and please do not think you need to buy a British brand name. Memory foam isn’t English, latex isn’t Scottish and springs are not Welsh. My advice is to try them in the store and spend as much as you can as it is an investment. You bought a Spanish property, believe me there are some lovely beds made in Spain. You really do get what you pay for.

Window dressings can make or break a bedroom look. A couple of things you have to take into account are privacy and light as you will want the bedroom to offer you privacy but still to feel light and airy; black out fabric on the windows with voiles or curtains is an option. All this considered they also have to look beautiful; window dressings can make all the difference to a bedroom.
Decorative headboard or feature wall?
This is the question! Wallpaper is very much back in fashion or a Venetian plastered wall may do the trick. With a large range of fabrics to choose from, we can also make large, decorative headboards in any shape or size that look great.
Space savers are important
here as the average apartment does not have enough floor space in the bedrooms to accommodate a chest of drawers. We provide a lot of built in shelving in wardrobes as there can be wasted space on the bottom of the wardrobes. This then allows you to have just a small console table or dressing table in the bedroom instead of a chest of drawers, giving you more floor space.
Rugs, come the winter months,
are a must on the cold marble or tiled floors. Whether, it is just a bedside rug or a larger one under the bed, you feel warmer just looking at them.
Sweet Dreams and see you soon,Dilys. Edif. Butibamba la Cala de Mijas, Mijas Costa email: info@whitedesignco.com | www.whitedesignco.com Tel: 952 494 155 | Mob: 600 583 673 find us on facebook

Ever Wonder...
Why... isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? Why... didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? Why... do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
Why... you know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff??
Why... don't sheep shrink when it rains? Why... are they called apartments when they are all stuck together? Why... If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal? Why... do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why... do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.
Why... is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always clear? Why... are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?

The Youth of Today...
Recently I’ve been looking in the mirror and seeing an old person looking back at me.... where did the years go I think to myself, but dealing with the youth of today I wonder If I’m the one with the ageing brain? REALLY??
the first incident... Recently, I went to McDonald's and I saw on the
menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. 'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter. 'You don't?' I replied. 'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply. 'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?' 'That's right.' he replied.So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets (Unbelievable but sadly true...)
half a dozen please...
the second incident...
I was checking out at the local Mercadona with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those dividers that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed up. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the divider, looking at it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?' I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.' She said 'OK,' I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened. (the lady behind me had a big smirk on her face as I left)...

Recently I’ve been looking in the mirror and seeing an old person looking back at me.... where did the years go I think to myself, but dealing with the youth of today I wonder If I’m the one with the ageing brain? REALLY?? Continued...
the third incident...
A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her DVD drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM thingy. (Keep shuddering!!)
‘do you need some help’?
the forth incident...
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door un-locker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?' Hmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked. 'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk....'

GADGETS &Gizmo’s How about a smartphone with a single screen that gently folds in half, letting you pop it in your pocket like a wallet? Rumours suggest Samsung's foldable phone will be released in 2017. Reportedly called the Galaxy X, the phone is likely to feature 4K resolution twice that of the Galaxy S7.
The Light Rider is an electric motorbike that weighs just 77 pounds and has a frame like an alien skeleton. Created by Airbus subsidiary APWorks, and crafted with 3D printing. The hollow frame is aircraft-grade aluminum with thousands of thin metal layers produced in a bed of metal powder. The frame weighs 13 pounds, roughly 30 percent less than many existing electric bikes and you get 37 miles per charge. Airbus is currently selling a limited run of 50 Light Riders at a price of $56,095. Philips Ambilight TV. Ambilight adds another dimension to your viewing by shining light from LEDs on the back of the TV onto the wall behind it. These lights using the TV’s internal processing replicate the colours you’re seeing on-screen in real time, which makes the picture, appear to expand far beyond the bezel. It reduces eye fatigue, immerses you more in the on-screen action and makes the screen appear larger than it really is.

The current Apple Pencil for the i-pad pro picks up angles, pressure and force, so you can draw delicate lines or slap down thick strokes, but you have to go into the onscreen toolbox if you want to change brushes, or to grab the eraser when you make a mistake. Apple have just filled new patents for a Pencil with interchangeable tips, which would be a lot more natural. The iPad would work out which tip you're drawing with, and change its digital brushes to match. A second sensor at the other end of the Pencil (currently just a cap that covers the charger) acts as an eraser.

All the latest in the world of tech and gaming... Google and Levis have announced that would bring "smart clothing" to the market there's a little Bluetooth-enabled loop you connect to the cuff of your jacket. That cuff lets your phone talk to the jacket, and you can configure exactly what gestures you want to work with which apps.You can swipe to adjust the volume on your music, tap to change tracks, and use another gesture to get navigation directions from Google Maps. Originally designed as a biker jacket, riders can control their phones safely while riding and can be washed and worn like any other garment.
The Dyson Supersonic hairdryer uses a special V9 motor that’s small enough to be tucked away in the handle, instead of in the back of the hair dryer, so you won’t have the all too common and painful problem of pulling hair into the motor. Despite its compact size, it is up to eight times faster than other dryers with four different heat settings, three airflow ones, and three different magnetic attachments for different hairstyles. It's quieter than other dryers, too, even if it isn't completely silent.
A next-gen spinning class experience, courtesy of IMAX - IMAXShift will use the gigantic immersive screens and heart-thumping audio found in existing IMAX cinemas to take you on a dazzling visual journey through skies and other worlds, carving through treetops and exploring the universe. The aim is to make panting away on a stationary bike a less boring experience, has now been opened its first venue in New York. De GRISOGONO in collaboration with Samsung have announced the Gear S3 Super-luxury Smartwatch, the replacement for a limited edition Gear S2 which swapped the standard model’s plastic case for a rose gold bezel with over 100 black and white diamonds, and the basic rubber wristband was replaced with De GRISOGONO's signature black sharkskin strap. There's a good chance the fully circular screen will make a comeback, along with the twisty bezel that lets you spin through settings and screens. The other thing to expect is a price of around 15.000€

the fifth incident...
Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, ' I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five blank copies. A Brunette, by the way!!
the sixth incident...
A mother calls 999 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......' Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency right now!'

The Madness of Edna...
Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.
One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news
and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love... I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.' Edna replied, “He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry......�

A Sign of the Times...
Farmer Jack once lived on a quiet rural highway but as time went by, the traffic slowly built up and eventually got so heavy and so fast that his free range chickens were being run over, at a rate of three to six a week. So Farmer Jack called the local police station to complain, "You've got to do something about all these people driving so fast and killing all my chickens," he said to the local police officer. "What do you want me to do?" asked the policeman. "I don't care, just do something about those crazy drivers!" So the next day the policeman had the Council erect a sign that said: SCHOOL CROSSING Three days later Farmer Jack called the policeman and said, "You've still got to do something about these drivers. The school crossing' sign seems to make them go even faster!" So again, they put up a new sign: GO SLOW: CHILDREN AT PLAY. That really sped them up. So Farmer Jack called and said, "Your signs are no good. Can I put up my own sign?" In order to get Farmer Jack off his back said "Sure. Put up your own sign. The phone calls to the Police Station stopped, but curiosity got the better of the Officer, so he called Farmer John, the problem with the speeding drivers and did you put up your sign?" "Oh, I sure did and not one chicken has been killed." The policeman was really curious and thought he'd better go out and take a look at the sign. He also thought the sign might be something the Police could use elsewhere to slow drivers down. So he drove out to Farmer Jack's house. His jaw dropped the moment he saw the sign. 'NUDIST COLONY' 'Slow down and watch for chicks!'

CHILDREN’S EYESIGHT…
Children rarely complain about their sight, but often show there may be a problem with their vision through their behaviour. This can include sitting too close to the TV, rubbing their eyes a lot, holding objects very close to their face, blinking a lot, or one eye turning either in or out. If you think your child is experiencing any sort of sight problems, take them to an ophthalmic practitioner for a check-up as soon as possible. All babies should have their eyes checked at birth and again at about six weeks of age by a doctor. Young children with suspected vision problems should be referred to an orthoptist, who is part of the eye care team and generally works alongside ophthalmologists and optometrists. Orthoptists work in local health clinics or hospital eye clinics.
SIGNS TO WATCH OUT FOR:
• Needs to have books very close when reading. • Squints or blinks often. • Tilts his/her head to see better (while looking at a picture or the television, for example). • Rubs his/her eyes when not sleepy. • Closes one eye to see better (while looking at a book or watching television, for example). • Avoids close, near-vision activities like scribbling, coloring, playing board games, or doing schoolwork. •Avoids distance-vision activities, like watching birds or planes or playing catch, or has trouble seeing small objects at a distance or reading the blackboard in school. •Has trouble following an object with his/her eyes (visual tracking). •Has recurrent headaches at the end of the day. • Complains of tired eyes. • Seems overly sensitive to light.
Once your child's vision has been checked, it's important to continue with regular sight tests. Your child should have a check-up at least every two years, as problems can occur at any age. Even if none of the symptoms described above are displayed, there could still be an underlying eye condition. If you're concerned about your child's vision, arrange an appointment with a local ophthalmic practitioner – they see children of any age. Many concerns can be resolved completely by the ophthalmic practitioner without the need to refer your child to a specialist such as an orthoptist or ophthalmologist. This is to detect whether a child has reduced vision in one or both eyes. This is important because many children will not realise they have reduced vision, and parents will not normally be able to see it by just looking at the child. It's recommended all children be seen by an orthop-
tist-led service to assess their vision between the ages of four and five. The earlier any problems are picked up, the better the outcome. If you have any concerns about your child's eyes or there is a history of squint or lazy eye in the family, it's important you do not wait for the vision screening at school. Take your child to an ophthalmic practitioner for a sight test. Children do not have to be able to read to have their eyes examined. It's possible to see whether the child has a squint or needs glasses without asking them any questions, using age-appropriate tests and equipment. Eye examinations do not hurt. It might be necessary to put drops in your child's eyes so they can be tested to see if they need glasses and that the backs of the eyes are healthy. If this is the case for your child, it will be discussed with you in advance.

Every night during sleep, every individual will have around five dream episodes, which can last between 15 and 40 minutes. Dream experts explain that our dreams mirror fundamental patterns of human behaviour. They reflect who we are, and what we need and what we believe in. The definitions of the most common dreams are not black and white. Dream symbols are presented in a metaphoric fashion.

Medical Mayhem
Psychiatristic Help:
A woman went to a psychiatrist because she was having severe problems with her sex life. The psychiatrist asked her many questions but did not seem to be getting a clear picture of her problems. Finally he asked, "Do you ever watch your husband's face while you are having sex?" "Well, yes, I did once." "And how did he look?" "Very angry." At this point the psychiatrist felt that he was really getting somewhere and he said, "Well that's very interesting, we must look into this further. Now tell me, you say that you have only seen your husband's face once during sex; that seems somewhat unusual. How did it occur that you saw his face that one time?" "He was looking through the window at us."
Golfing Accident: A man staggers into a hospital with concussion, Multiple bruises, two black eyes and a 5 iron wrapped tightly around his throat. The doctor asked "What happened to you?" "Well I was playing Golf with my wife when we sliced our golf balls into a field of cows. I found one stuck in a cows arse, I yelled to my wife 'this looks like yours', I don't remember much after that ..." Bad Diet: A dietitian was addressing a large audience in Seville:
"The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks erode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. Vegetables can be disastrous, and none of us realises the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. "But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have eaten or will eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?" A 75-year-old man in the front row stood up and said, "Wedding cake."

STRANGE LAWS IN SCOTLAND There are a number of ancient laws that were put in place in Scotland that, technically speaking, that have not been repealed. However, prosecutions for these types of laws are non-existent these days and, even in the past, were extremely rare. In some cases motions weren’t even legally passed due to the common law element of the Scottish system.
1. It is illegal in Scotland to be drunk and in
charge of a cow-Under the terms of the Licensing Act of 1872, drunk in charge of a steam engine, horse or cow could be fined £200 and jailed for up to 51 weeks.We’re still to hear of antone being charged with this in Scotland.
same in Berwick-on-Tweed and Carlisle.The conclusion to this is that local by-law were introduced at a time when cross-border movements were less welcome than they are now. There are a number of laws similar to this, including the town in Kansas state that forbids people from throwing knives at men wearing striped suits or shirts.
3.
In Scotland, it is illegal for a boy under the age of 10 to see a naked mannequinIt’s not been made clear whether the child commits the offence by looking or the retailer for setting up the mannequin in such a lewd way, but this law sounds almost impossible to police.There are no records of anyone ever being charged for spying an unclothed mannequin. more next month....

FINANCIAL NEWS The Euro & World Round Up
UK BORROWING and the BREXIT
UK borrowing has come out higher than expected and typically this would have a weakening effect on Sterling exchange rates against all major currencies but it appears as though market sentiment is favouring Sterling at the moment. At the end of last month the GBP to Euro rate moved into the 1.31’s for the first time since the start of February. The big question for Euro buyers is if this improvement will continue or will there be a drop in the rate before the referendum? The polls seem convinced that the Remain campaign has got a significant lead as we enter with-
in a month of the vote. We think that the rate may well improve a little over the coming days, however if there is new information with regards to how the referendum vote may unfold the rate could start to fall again. Bank of England governor Mark Carney has warned previously that the risks of leaving the EU could ‘possibly include a technical recession.’ The big piece of recent news is that Greece has managed to agree terms to unlock a further €10.3bn in new loans. If there was not a breakthrough in these negotiations there could have

been a repeat of last summer where Greece was a day away from being bankrupt. No doubt this outcome will settle the markets. There has been a general expectation that the GBP/EUR rate was going to fall to the 1.20’s before the referendum but since the Remain has taken a lead that may no longer be the case. If the UK do remain there is a belief that the rate could jump above 1.35 almost instantly. If you are looking to sell Euro’s it may be worth considering cutting your losses as it looks ever more likely that Sterling could be this month.

Capricorn
Aquarius
Pisces
Aries
Taurus
Gemini 66
Capricorn this month will see you hiding your emotions. Things are going on inside you that you can’t express feelings about love and life. Venus and Jupiter will bring time for introspection and analysis. You become aware of subtle details or uncover important information, meant to help you understand your relationship. The Sun, Mars and Mercury will bring with them change at work; June 2016 is going to be a busy month. You have a lot of work to do, you’re burning a lot of energy, and you have to face some emergencies or situations that force you to make quick decisions. Despite all these difficulties, in the end you’ll do a great job and your achievements will be admirable and profitable. Your work is handsomely rewarded and you’ll gain something extra from collaborations and partnerships. Your health could be a hot topic in June 2016. Don’t overdo it and learn to delegate some of your responsibilities! Aquarius, June 2016 will be extraordinary for your relationships. Venus and Jupiter in your skies will bring you happiness and fulfillment. Under the Venus-Jupiter protection you might meet someone who’s going to seem meant to be yours. If you are in a relationship you will feel a real togetherness. The bottom line is clear: this could be the greatest month you’ve had in years. At work June 2016 opens favorable situations and new perspectives. You’re full of energy and adrenaline, and everything you do seems simple and easy to do. You can make a lot of money during this interval, but it’s recommended you avoid speculations because it may lead to losses. You’re energetic enough for two this month, you feel comfortable in your own skin and nothing manages to put a dent in your optimism. It’s a splendid time for having fun, traveling and vacations. Do everything your heart desires, but try not to overdo it! Pisces, the position of Mercury in your sign, suggests that you maybe moving or doing other home-related initiatives this month. Venus, the planet of love, will orientated toward a practical pursuit. Maybe a shared project or if you are single an office romance might also be born. This month will bring with it professional potential for you. All you need is a good approach strategy. Working is a pleasure for you now, you might even be passionate about it, and your greatest success comes when you’re using your talents. It’s an area where things had gone stale for a while, but now they’re looking up again. June 2016 is a good time to analyze, investigate and take energetic measures toward solving any medical issues you might have. Show restraint and don’t give in overindulgent temptations too often! Aries, until June 17th your love life is centered on travel and communication. If you are looking for love then an unexpected meeting could see the beginning of a liaison based on a common interest. But Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Neptune are all putting their oar in this could lead to confused situations or over-the-top emotional reactions. After June 17th 2016, Venus enters a more peaceful state. Things start to calm down and set sail for a calmer sea. On the work and finance front from June 13th, Mercury, ends its prolonged stay your sign. It’s time to draw a line and add things up, calculate how productive last months’ efforts have been, what you’ve earned or maybe not, then restructure the way you work, you’ll soon reap the rewards! Taurus, Mars has returned to your sign it will be in retrograde motion until June 30th 2016, when it will resume its direct motion. It’s a significant time that will have a few critical moments, testing your relationships and filtering the good from the bad. Don’t rush things! You’ll make the best decisions at the end of the month. June is a month with significant financial changes. During the first two weeks the Sun and Venus blesses you with luck but it also makes you look back a bit and draw some conclusions! You will you seek out new sources of income. Collaborations and partnerships deserve particular attention, since they can reach a critical point. Get physical this month, exercise: work out, anything that uses up your physical energy. You’ll feel a lot better for it! Gemini, June 2016 is a much better month for you. Things started to improve beginning with the last week of May, Mars and Venus have brought you luck in love. Venus stays in your sign until June 17th 2016, so you’d better make the most of its good graces. The second part of June 2016 is also good but it focuses on home and financial aspects of your relationship. On the work and finance front June 2016 brings a visible improvement to professional relationships. The second part of June 2016 is favorable for earnings and could bring you material gains. But it’s a month during which you work hard and not everything goes according to plan. The best way will be to schedule your time wisely and don’t overdo it! The Sun’s transiting through your sign this month it will give you a lot of energy and cheerfulness, and confidence in your own abilities.

Cancer
Leo
Virgo
Libra
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Cancer, professional and financial interests mix with relationship ones this month. Venus, the ruler of love, is in your sign throughout June 2016. Different possibilities present themselves: either professional and financial interests are pursued together with your pair, perhaps they influence your decisions in matters of the heart. Either way, the influence will lead to positive results. On the work and finance front with both Benefices’ – Venus and Jupiter – June 2016 brings you good luck with finances. To get that money though, you might have to do some secret maneuvering or resort to some less than orthodox methods. Things develop nicely on the professional front, but it’s possible that acknowledgement and success will come late in the month. In the last week of June 2016, Cancerians will be in incredible shape. Enjoy it! Leo, June 2016 is an interesting month for you, because Venus, the planet of love, begins its retrograde cycle exactly in Leo. This cycle will last until November 8th of 2016 and will involve Leo and Virgo. Your love life is blooming this month. You’ll experience joyful events and you might even meet someone special. But there are concerns that things might not be as they seem, or you might experience some troubled, complicated moments at some point. Venus and Jupiter are helping out your career this month. Therefore, your success is guaranteed. Luck seems to come your way without you making any effort. Opportunities for development and success arise. You are blossoming. You have great energy, both physically and mentally. The only downside would be the tendency to overdo it. Try to relax when you can, maybe take a little long overdue holiday. Virgo, Venus is alongside Jupiter, this month bringing with it happiness and fulfillment. From now on until November 2016, Venus is in retrograde cycle it will go back and forth as if stuck. These five months might bring Virgos important insight into emotions and relationships. But it might also cause trouble...Be careful what you get yourself involved in, it might be complicated! On the career and money front you have three strong allies in Mars the Sun and Mercury whatever misunderstanding or obstacles have risen in the past weeks you now have a clear path in every direction. Not only that, but you’re also lucky when it comes to money! Be careful whom you get mixed up with, both in love and in business! To avoid risks, it’s advisable to be calm, disciplined and cautious. Libra, with Venus and Jupiter in your sign this month, you’re likely to have a great time, to attend parties or various social gatherings if you are single now is a great time to meet someone new at some reunion or maybe under different circumstances somewhere people with shared interests are gathered. On the work front you’re very popular and you’re lucky or skillful enough to find supporters and friends willing to help you out with whatever you intend to do, to back you up and promote you. June 2016 is a very favorable month for group projects anything you touch will be successful. You are also likely to receive gifts, sponsorships or other financial advantages this month. Things are starting to settle down after a very tense patch of both mental and nervous strain. Ask for favors and support, because you’re very likely to get them! It’s also an excellent time to make new friends.
Scorpio, Venus is in your sign this month and is going to be hitting high. Being close to Jupiter does Venus a world of good, you are the center of attention. Therefore, you can expect important and happy events to happen: romantic proposals or declarations of love, reconciliations or, in some cases, even an engagement or marriage. June 2016 is a successful month for Scorpions. The sky is the limit and opportunities seem to pop up everywhere. You might be commended, appreciated or even awarded, you could get promoted, win something, enjoy resonating success. It would be preferable to postpone any financial initiatives for the second part of the month. Vitality is low for the duration of June 2016. It’s advisable not to push it and to take care of yourself. Relax when you can take a trip away or just take a few days off.
Sagittarius, June 2016 will be full of irresistible attractions and bold romantic gestures. Uranus will be in your sign brining with it unexpected experiences. You take charge and go for it to get what you want. In the second part of June 2016 you might finally settle an issue that’s been bothering you for weeks. On the work and finance front, June 2016 is a highly competitive month. You might have discussions or re-negotiations most likely this will be with associates or even competitors. Misunderstandings or errors might occur in the first week try to be patient and have tact! Financially, things also change around the middle of the month. With stress levels running this high, there’s not much of a chance to find a balance in June 2016. Even though you’re rather agitated you’ll rise to the challenge.
