Star Struck: June

By Virginia Bell

Scoping out your cosmic highlights in June.

ARIES March 21 – April 19
Looks like you mighty rams can do no wrong this month. But that's no reason to rest on your laurels. Take them out for a spin. Love hungry? In early June, dive bars and boxing studios will offer the meal you need. In the favorite words of fellow Aries Bette Davis, "What's next?"

TAURUS April 20 – May 20
In 1950, Taurus Richard Avedon met model Suzy Parker, an untamed Scorpio, whose style inspired his work and thus changed fashion photography forever. Okay, maybe when Pluto seduces Venus on the 17th, you won't change the art world—but you will meet a fiery Scorpio who may transform your life (if even for a night).

GEMINI May 21 – June 21
In the '60s, Gemini Clint Eastwood made his way to Hollywood via Italy. Just like riding Spaghetti Westerns to American fame, you'll have to blaze your own trail. The new moon in Gemini on the 3rd plus brilliant aspects on the 12th gives you a chance to break out of a rut. Let your curiosity lead you to new places, even if you take the long way around.

CANCER June 22 – July 22
Scientists claim there's a low, constant hum emanating from deep inside the earth. People too have their own vibe (so to speak), if we'd only listen. Axe the uncertainty of early June, all will be crystal clear by the 18th when our gal Venus enters Cancer followed by the sun on the 20th. Meantime, stop listening to the psychics, Eckart, and Oprah and tune in your own radio station.

LEO July 23 – August 22
Forget the Skinny Bitch Diet. Mars in Leo will do more for your confidence and metabolism than all the diet books and green juices combined. Plus, with those four planets in your social 11th house, it's your time to shine. Watch out for that pushy full moon on the 18th—he's got passion and jealousy in his bag. There are two kinds of Leos: the divas and the saints. Try being the latter, even if you have to fake it.

VIRGO August 23 – September 22
Ol' Saturn (in Virgo) probably has you contemplating going back to school, starting a little brood, or turning that T-shirt hobby into a legit biz. Get those ducks lined up before the new moon on the 3rd, and pounce when Mercury turns direct on the 19th. For those of you approaching your Saturn Return, the stakes are even higher—get off your duff and start doing.

LIBRA September 23 – October 23
Libras love harmony and hate confrontation. Too bad the skeletons are coming out of the closet when Pluto revisits your house of communication beginning on the 13th. Don't be afraid of the cold, hard truth—it'll do more for your looks than an oxygen facial. When Venus and the sun enter your 10th house of destiny late June, you'll have the zip to tear the truth a new one.

SCORPIO October 24 – November 21
A triple conjunction of the sun, Mercury, and Venus in your mysterious 8th house from June 7th to the 9th has you reading about UFOs and playing with the Ouija board instead of sample-sale cruising. When the sun and Pluto face off on the 20th and you return to the wonderful world of money, sex, and power, your trip into the mystic just may have you seeing deeper meanings. Or not.

SAGITTARIUS November 22 – December 21
When Pluto left your sign in January, you thought life would go back to normal. Sucker. On June 13th Pluto reenters Sadge (until November), and though your life won't fall apart, you may have to shack up with some old ghosts, especially on the 17th when bad-boy Pluto gets into a hot mess with Venus. This would be a good time to drop the attitude and fess up to how much you want a relationship.

CAPRICORN December 22 – January 19
You always have reasons to work hard, but with lusty Mars in your steamy 8th house swap the boardroom for the bedroom. Don't be surprised if you're drawn to unconventional types of people and unconventional types of fun. Brush up on Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer or see Fellini's Satyricon. Both those libertines were Caps in touch with their erotic sides. Go find yours (it's behind the couch).

AQUARIUS January 20 – February 18
No sign loves their freedom more than you, but lately you've been acting like a Leo—wearing your heart on your sleeve and weeping over Hil and Barack. Blame it on that damned Mars in your 7th house of true love and four planets in your 5th house of romance. Can the analysis, shut yer yap and give in to passion. Yeah, it can be a tad icky, but trust me, it's exactly what you need.

PISCES February 19 – March 20
Water signs are far stronger than they realize. When life throws up a reef, they just swim around and blow bubbles. Remember that when a power struggle breaks out on June 17, and one of the boardroom muckety mucks tries to sabotage you, hold off on the counterattack. Once Mercury turns direct on the 19th, you'll have fresh intelligence. Meantime, rent the 1976 film, Network, watch, and learn.
