The general accent lies on your domestic scene – family, house, garden, nutrition, security, Mother Nature, parks, vacation (spa or rest type). Get your rest. Stomach, soul, and hibernation are nature’s way of revival. The present “rest spell” (lasting to late July) is more important than most years, because 1) you’re also working harder, and 2) the year starting in September will bring you opportunities that, to succeed, will need to be jumped on eagerly and energetically.
Although your personal luck, popularity and energy have been low for the last 10 months (and will remain so until September) this “quiet period” favours all “management” zones: committee meetings, delegating tasks, dealing with civil servants, agents, therapists and advisors. In the weeks ahead, your ambitions rise, and you’ll deal more with higher-ups, even authorities. This, combined with your “management luck” can put you in a pretty good position. Sunday’s for work.
You’ll be busy but not stressed over the few weeks ahead. Your chores will be light, without big stakes attached. Errands, paperwork, messaging, short trips, that sort of thing. Now through July, you will be face-to-face with 1) assertive/aggressive people; 2) sensual temptations; 3) marriage and/or business partnership prospects, both of which would eventually prove restrictive and burdensome.
The weeks ahead emphasize far travel, international affairs, religion and philosophy, culture, social rituals, fame, media, publishing, intellectual pursuits, legal matters – and love. If single, Scorpio, you’re in a year of increased popularity until September. This can help you find romance – it will tend to pop up in group settings. (Stick with light, flirty, fun romance – the deep, heavy stuff will usher you into a trap/ pitfall/loss, if you dive in before mid-2017.
A money month lies ahead. Chase or cultivate new clients, angle for a pay raise, sell unwanted items – and go shopping (after June 29) for special items. Your sensual antennae will be alive and alert, but might lure you into a “low passion” bond. (If single, you might have made one of these bonds in 2013/14 – a big one – how did that turn out?) A good few weeks for your memory, and for rote learning (e.g., study an airplane manual).
This week and the next few emphasize mysteries and secrets, sexual desires and financial actions, lifestyle changes, medical diagnoses, and… karma. Delve deep, reject surface appearances. You can open the door to valuable data, even to a treasure chest – most of this after Wednesday. Earlier, spend Sunday at home or in the ‘hood. Good friends arrive. You might feel a wee tinge of romantic temptation.
Your energy, magnetism, clout and effectiveness remain high – and might climb even higher – for several weeks. Start important projects, seek attention, tackle jobs you found intimidating before. If you’ve wanted to approach a VIP or that good-looking person, now’s the time (to July 21 – but don’t leave it to the last week.) Career and status matters which have been put on the back burner since mid-April, now come forward for handling, and proceed without further delay.
Relationships fill the weeks ahead. Be diplomatic, eager to join. For the next two weeks, at least, others will greet you with affection and graciousness. A male might aid you, and/or become a lively friend. If single, you could meet a life-mate. If married, your partnership, travel and legal matters go well. Opportunities abound, especially in love, learning, insurance, scientific and public areas. Sunday’s for errands, casual friends, messaging and short trips.
Avoid competitive situations. The more you retreat now, the more the world will love you later. Lie low, rest, contemplate and plan. Every year, you have to undergo a “rejuvenation” in June/July. Seek therapy, new beauty techniques, research, contact government agencies for help, deal with charitable and spiritual organizations. However, don’t dive too deeply into research (nor into financial nor sexual temptations) especially Sunday, when the ease of everything might disguise possible pitfalls.
Work just magically seems to keep growing this week and the next few. You might as well just sigh and plunge in. Though you’re generally favoured for management this whole decade, this month ahead steers you (rightly so) toward hands-on chores. Protect your daily health by eating and dressing sensibly. Sunday’s fine, easy – money’s your focus, so buy/sell, etc. Shop for computers or electronics later this afternoon.
A wish is almost certain to come true over the few weeks ahead, Virgo. It might involve a home, real estate, or your family. (It might also involve school, your social life, or a light romance.) In any case, your heart lightens now to late July. Optimism, popularity, future visions, entertainment, flirtation and wit fill your days. Sunday’s for serious relationships; you might fall in love, or sense it prowling around your heart.
Use the weeks ahead to exercise your passion, Pisces. That passion can be romance, art, creativity, risk (gambling – or better risks such as the stock market) – anything that, when you bend your attention to it, you lose track of time. (This one of the best ways to judge a love, or to know whether one’s imminent: does the time spent with him/her almost race by unnoticed? If so, this is one of the most reliable indicators of compatibility.)
