~ Special Guest Stars: The Full Moon (June 18), Mercury Retrograde station Direct (June 19), and Uranus Station!!!!
Ok! I did the Summer Solstice (S.S.) chart as a solar chart using 0 degree house cusps. The 1st house 0 degrees Cancer, the second house 0 degrees Leo, and so forth. My focus was on us as a nation and what we can expect over the next 3 months. I did a few comparisons with the USA, Gemini rising chart and factored in the above ‘Guest Stars’ ~ all major planetary events happening this week that will surely have an effect on this Summer Solstice.
Major Players, Act I
Sun on the Ascendant, fresh out of the 12th house, coming off an opposition to the Moon.
The Moon, the chart ruler, transitions over the Descendant from Sagittarius to Capricorn, conjuncting Pluto on the Descent, also in opposition to the Sun! ~ Powerful stuff!
Could this mean hidden things coming into the light and triggering an explosive response from our open enemies? A culmination of past undoings blowing up in our face? OR a chance to right some wrongs in a radical and different way that involve our nation as a whole?
Venus conjuct the Sun, certainly softens the blow and gives us a diplomatic edge. It provides a sense of optimism. Combine this with the conjunction to the USA Venus/Jupiter conjunction, in sextile to S.S. Saturn in Virgo falling in the third house. We can derive some practical enthusiasm from listening to the Presidential hopefuls talk about creating us a brighter future. The USA Venus, Jupiter, Sun, Mercury stellium in S.S. 1st, certainly gives us something to look forward to!
USA Mercury, in opposition to S.S. Jupiter, and trine S.S. Uranus, heightens the expectation of this election. Our country is craving some major and much needed change! For the first time we have the possibility of a black or female President who can really make a difference at a crucial time. The quincunx of USA Mercury to S.S. Neptune and semi-sextile S.S. Mars, reminds us that all cannot be fixed by waving a magic wand.
Which brings us to:
Major Players, Act II
Mars conjunct the South Node in the second, opposite Neptune conjunct the North Node in the eighth, tying in a conjunction with the USA Moon! Does anything better describe our rising fuel costs and our dependency on foreign oil????????!!!!!!!! How our need for speed and perhaps careless ways are costing us a fortune and have become our own undoing? Not only is this opposition tight, it falls exactly on the upcoming Lunar Eclipse degree, 24 Aquarius, on Aug. 16th! Being as we are 2 months away, we’re a little bit out of the shadow period for it’s influence to affect us now. However, come August we’ll see if we’ve made any progress with cleaning up our act. It should definitely serve as a warning. The USA North Node falls in the S.S. second and will be with in 3 degrees of the Solar Eclipse, Aug. 1st. I give a larger window to Solar Eclipses which puts the USA North Node already in the shadow. I believe this could have a positive affect of pushing us in the right direction. It’s semi-sextile to S.S. Saturn in Virgo is already evidenced in the abundance of commercials geared towards ‘going Green’. We know astrology works. Let’s try to use it to our benefit.

Sorry for the delay. I’m blaming Mercury Retrograde for the technical difficulties! 
This month ushers in the Summer Solstice, 2 days after the full moon in Sagittarius. The focus will be on our families and our country and the world’s view of us. Look forward to a future article on this subject.
I have also posted a separate blog on the Mercury Retrograde this month.
Happy Summer!!
GEMINI
Happy birthday to the most multifaceted sign of the zodiac!! Your brilliant mind usually has you comfortably scattered in many directions.
2008 should see you calming down after a 2 year period of flux and a 13 year cycle of major transformation around relationships ~ both personal and professional! You could have attracted some really intense, perhaps even violent people. Power struggles may have been an issue.
Reminders of all that change can creep back up on you until early November. You must finish up the past before proceeding with your future. This is very evident in June while your ruling planet Mercury and several others are retrograde.
As you head into December and the new year, you can expect some relief around partnerships and the type of people you’re attracting. Passion increases and new concerns may arise around joint finances. You continue to prosper here, this month, but careful scrutiny is still required. Pay attention to spending.
You are lucky where career matters are concerned the 1st-7th but do-overs may be necessary. Your desire for freedom and independence requires you to take stock of prevous endeavors. Change is immanent but try to figure out which direction you want to go. Be wary of conflicts with money the 12th-22nd.
Destiny suggests relearning some things or a desire to return to school. It’s preferable to patronize an institution rather than doing your classes on line.
Long distance travel, spiritual concerns, and legal or publishing documents may need reviewing. Concentration can be lacking now.
Hard work and discipline are highlighted around the home, family and real estate. It would benefit you to take on a long term project whether it’s remodeling your home or yourself! Rewards come only if you earn them.
Communication, transportation, neighbors and relatives could all pose problems for you ~ not just this month but over the next year and a half. Be cautious with the written and spoken word, drive carefully and check yourself before any verbal confrontation. Aggravation is really possible the 12th-24th.
Your health may need review with certain ailments hard to diagnose. Pay attention to the kidneys, pelvis and reproductive organs.
June starts off with the spotlight on you ~ Happy, happy, joy, joy!! Between the 18th-20th you should feel the energy shift towards your personal finances and nurturing others. A boost in income is also indicated!!
Breath easier this year, Gemini. The universe shouldn’t throw you anything you haven’t already handled!!
This is a preview of
JUNE 2008 ASTROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS ~ Featuring Gemini!!
