Summer Forecast for July and August 2012

June 30th, 2012

ALL SIGNS:   Both Saturn and Venus have gone direct and Jupiter has recently moved into Gemini. Our curiosities are ignited, encouraging us to learn more about the world around us. This is a wonderful time to connect with our communities, whether that’s hanging out with siblings and extending family, friends and neighbors, or sharing a laugh with colleagues. Group discussions where you can share and debate your ideas will be energizing. Pooling resources with others, or teaming up on joint projects is highly favored now as well. Take a class or a workshop in something you’ve always wanted to do. You can expect to have your worldview expanded by what you learn from those around you.

 

 

 

 

ARIES

You’re more inquisitive than usual, Aries. Jupiter is moving through your third house, making you more curious. It’s likely that you’ll be picking up new skill-sets or advancing your training in some way. New fields of study (even just for pleasure) will delight. This is a great time to attend a conference or head back to school. Lively discussions that go long into the night are likely; which can also mean you’re in a mood to find some new friends. Romantic playmates, and lighthearted activities (in or out of the bedroom) will entice! Those in committed relationships can benefit from joint studies — such as taking a class together or teaming up on a new hobby. It is definitely not a boring summer!

You might crave time away from others so you can get cozy with your own thoughts and feelings. You are letting go and releasing painful memories; and limiting thought patterns that no longer serve you. You’ll be doing some valuable emotional cleansing this summer!
