At least 1836 Things You Ought to Know About Texas

June is Recovery from Retrograde Month as Venus is still retrograde, in the sign of the twins. Makes romance a difficult topic, at best, right now. But there are a lot of other nice things happening, so read all about it. Remember: Astrology is supposed to be fun!

Aries [3/23-4/20]: Saturn gets such a bad rap, heÍs almost as bad as a Scorpio, when it comes to reputation. However, this Saturn is bringing little rewards, small things in life you have struggled to achieve, little bonus points for a job well-done. Look for these perks as the month slowly unfolds and remember that every one else is still reeling from that apparent backward motion in the heavens.

Taurus [4/21-5/22]: I promised how this month would be much better, and IÍm sure you will find that this is a true statement. The only problem, like I have suggested earlier, is that you need to settle down and maintain your dignity while the Venus thing gets itself righted and sorted out. For you, this really is Recovery from Retrograde time.

Gemini [5/23-6/21]: There is an unusual configuration in the night sky (actually, itÍs the day sky) wherein Mars and Venus are playing a serious game of tag with your heart. Relationships do figure in an important position in your multi-faceted mind right now, youÍre just a little more confused about directions. Not too worried would be a good position to take.

Cancer [6/22-7/22]: Do you Cancers ever get tired of astrologers who talk in riddles? Tired of fancy metaphors which are empty as the shell of the crab? Feel like you have no life? And tired of my mythical meanderings? Take heart because the middle of the month, you experience a great influx in your popularity rating. Your numbers go off the chart. You feel much better. Trust me.

Leo [7/23-8/23]: The good news is you Leos can go back to being the normal, king of the hill type as this month. Romance is a slow one this month, but I wouldnÍt let that stop you from letting the good times roll. AS always, dear Leo, Party On!

Virgo [8/24-9/23]: Poor (dear sweet) Virgo! This month you seem to have the home front challenged again and again. Just when you get everything all cleaned up, then another storm breaks everything apart. Just be glad you donÍt live some place where you have to clean up after earthquakes or tropical storms, or worse, hurricanes. That leaves quit the mess! Although, you will feel like you are cleaning up too much this month. And itÍs not housecleaning that you like, either.

Libra [9/24-10/23]: ItÍs really not a bad month, per se, for Libra, itÍs just a stellar month. ThatÍs because most of the activity in your sign is pesky little asteroid which are the darned feminists of the zodiac. The little fellers are stirring you up again, and that is the source of a lot of your troubles. Now, the good news is that you have greater than usual insight into one of the problems which has been plaguing you for a while now.

Scorpio [10/24-11/23]: Dear, sweet, kind and ever gentle Scorpio, just remember to be nice to your Sagittarius friends this month because you have blazed a trail for them to follow. And if you look behind you, you will find some Sag types stumbling along where you have been. Lend them a hand.

Sagittarius [11/24-12/21]: Ever try sushi? ItÍs usually considered a raw fish. And thatÍs what you will probably feel like this month, a little raw around the edges. You will find that your emotions are more prone to being on edge than ever before, especially as the Moon gets full. I would advise lots of caution when handling sharp instruments and Scorpios this month. DoesnÍt mean donÍt do it, just wear extra thick (and protective) gloves.

Capricorn [12/22-1/20]: There is something about a Capricorn which suggests the sleek ñjet airplaneî style of the early 1960s. The old cars with the huge fins seem to fit your idea of style and classic automotive grace just fine. The only problem is that all the good collectible cars are gone. You donÍt need any old tanker, either. I would hold out on buying the new car until a little later.

Aquarius [1/21-2/18]: Uranus is considered to be a disruptive force in conventional astrology. But when were you ever conventional? I would enjoy the new, electrifying ride youÍre on right now. ItÍs also a good time to try finding that one form of self-expression which really seems to work for you. Try taking pictures, IÍd wager you are good with a camera.

Pisces [2/19-3/22]: If you didnÍt hear wedding bells by now, then I donÍt think you need to worry about that aspect of your life for next month. Life is good again.
