Hello all my favorite.... "Blame It On The Stars", Astrology fans.


Those stars are giving me a needed vacation. So instead of just leaving this page blank and not up-to- date, for a few weeks. I have decided to turn to one of my favorite, Astrology sites... "Astrology.com", to keep you informed about the most important celestial happenings as we greet this new month of June 2011...

Hope you enjoy it and find it helpful? All Cut and pasted for you, from...


ASTROLOGY.COM'S MONTHLY HIGHLIGHTS: GEMINI

June 1: Solar Eclipse in Gemini

How much information is too much information? With a partial solar eclipse in Gemini occurring close to that sign's south node, you may feel like your mind is speeding along like a hamster on an exercise wheel! As always, eclipse periods indicate dramatic world events, so watch for plenty of breaking news that might make you shake your head and wonder if we should all be reminded of our Miranda Rights ('You have the right to remain silent ...'). On the other hand, this fountain of information may be just what you need to be successful. Saturn in Libra trines this new Moon eclipse, which shows that someone in authority is there to help you with your plans. Keep your eyes and ears open!

June 2: Mercury enters Gemini

Mercury in its home sign of Gemini usually likes nothing better than to chat, read the news and run errands. However, with the immediate square to nebulous Neptune in the first degree of sensitive Pisces, you'll be better off if you sit quietly and meditate or commune with nature before you go about your daily business. Minimize distractions whenever possible so you can hone in on ideas and contacts that are most important to you.

June 3: Neptune turns retrograde

Today marks the first time that spiritual Neptune turns retrograde since entering Pisces on April 4. Pay close attention to the themes currently emerging in your life since you'll be working with them for the next 14 years! Retrogrades are always about returning to previous territory to more fully assimilate your experiences, and since this one occurs at zero degrees of Pisces, any planet in your birth chart at zero degrees will receive a message from Neptune. Don't expect much logic or material sensibility from this mystical planet. As you focus on your personal plans, maintain a big-picture view and do what you can to develop a more spiritual life; you can also help yourself by becoming more inclusive of others. And as always, for extra insight, examine the house in your own chart through which Neptune is traveling.

June 4: Jupiter enters Taurus

Jupiter is a worldview-shifter that directs your attention to new philosophical, social and economic themes. Each time this enormous planet changes its sign, it offers a new lens through which to view the world. Jupiter spends one year in each of the twelve Sun signs, so it's certainly been a while since it has transited through Taurus! As Jupiter leaves fiery Aries and enters Taurus, a sensible Earth sign ruling money and values, all discussions -- global, local and personal -- will focus on getting your financial ducks in a row. Pay attention to those areas of your life you wish to make more secure in order to reap the most benefits from this transit. And if you know through which house this optimistic planet is transiting in your own chart, take steps to expand your sphere of influence in that life area.

June 8: Jupiter sextiles Neptune

When these two planets connect with each other, people come up with great big visions. Jupiter is one of the two social planets (the other is Saturn), while Neptune is a collective planet with a global influence. Perhaps you have a plan to serve humanity in some way, or to create something the world has never seen. This transit marks a highly idealistic time, and one in which your spirituality may move to the foreground. Connections between these two planets also seem to coincide with floods -- so take sensible precautions!

June 9: Venus enters Gemini

June 10: Venus squares Neptune

Since Neptune entered Pisces on April 4 and remains in zero degrees of this sign until the first week of August, once each planet enters a new sign, it immediately makes contact with Neptune's magical, yet nebulous energy. Venus, the planet of love, enters curious and talkative Gemini, which means you'll want to get out of the house, meet new people and cultivate fresh experiences. If you're presently in a relationship, come up with a plan to get yourself and your partner out of your day-to-day routines -- it's time to mix things up! If you're single, attend events where you're bound to meet interesting people. Just remember to keep your feet on the ground ... and if you're convinced you've met your soul mate, ask a friend for feedback and a reality check!

June 12: Saturn turns direct

Finally, some forward movement! Saturn has been retrograde since January 26, but now that it's changing direction, your projects and plans begin to gain momentum. If you keep your eye on the ball and plan well, you'll gain traction by the end of the month. Decide now what you want to be responsible for, as well as what you need to let others do. Your Saturn motto for this month is, Discipline and inspiration bring success! For much more information, be sure to look at your birth chart to see where Saturn is currently located.

June 15: Lunar eclipse in Sagittarius

Since the transiting north node is currently in Sagittarius, all eclipses in this Fire sign help you create a bigger and better vision for you and your life. Don't allow yourself to be distracted by conversations or extraneous thoughts that may divert you from your path. You know what you want, so remain faithful to your life philosophy. This lunar eclipse heightens emotions, and there are those who may try to sway you to their point of view. Listen carefully for information that can help you, and do your best to emulate the tree that bends -- but doesn't break -- in the wind.

June 16: Mercury enters Cancer and trines Neptune

Feeling sentimental? As communicative Mercury leaves chatty Gemini to enter this Water sign, thoughts are colored by emotions. Put your rational, logical mind in hibernation for now and speak from your heart. This is a wonderful transit for going through old letters or photo albums -- memories from the distant past can comfort you now. You may even want to contact a family member you haven't spoken with in a while. Sharing your innermost thoughts with those close to you will feel especially rewarding now. Also, Neptune's connection with Mercury enhances sensitivity and empathy, making this a great time to mend fences.

June 17: Venus trines Saturn

This aspect not only helps stabilize your relationships, but brings support from people who hold positions of authority. Use this time to socialize and advance your personal and business relationships. It seems like everybody loves you now, so take advantage of all the good will!

June 20: Mars enters Gemini

Mars is both a warrior and an advocate. When this planet is placed in such a vocal sign, you and everybody else have plenty to say! This is a wonderful placement for debating the merits of an idea or getting your message out into the world -- as long as you don't get too pushy. If you have an idea to sell, you can be quite persuasive now. To succeed, though, you'll have to know when to back off; otherwise, an energetic discussion can easily turn argumentative, which may sabotage the very thing you're trying to advance.

Enjoy the Sun's transit through Gemini!

Tuesday, May 24, 2011

A Gemini Sun, in negative square aspect, to the planet of allusion Neptune, over this past weekend created some difficulties!


So when your Monday, May 23, 2011 might still feeling a bit cloudy?

You can just...Blame It On The Stars!

Yes confusion in many areas of life have been the norm lately! Including the reason that this Star-cast blog was NOT in place at the usual time?

So if you are now just reading this...and it is Monday eve, or Tuesday Morning? Or perhaps even later in the week? The Sun, Neptune Square over the weekend and on Monday is responsible! Showing that I am affected too, even with all my advantages of astrological knowledge... there will be times when this blog will be impossible to post!

And Monday's Aquarius moon aspects... can make it one, that is difficult to plan? Add a Venus, Mars, conjunction that is with us all day on Monday, May 23, 2011 and you have intense feelings connected to your energy, that are hard to control?

The best way to cope would be to stay as flexible and open to changes as possible.

Tuesday, May 24, 2011, eases up on the emotion some? But a Pisces Planet Neptune conjunction, in Square to our Gemini sun... will continue the confusion! Not an easy day to deal with details...and see things clearly.

Wednesday, May 25, 2011, I am happy to say... that muddy feeling should be over, as the moon will be in favorable aspect to...Venus, Mercury, and Mars. Making Wednesday my pick of the week as most favorable for accomplishments and a positive thinking.

Thursday, May 26, 2011 the moon still in Pisces keeps you dreamy and sensitive.

If you can... let it work for you? Some of the best ideas come from our imagination...which will be increased on Thursday, adding new creativity into Thursday Evening.

Friday, May, 27, 2011, getting ready for your long holiday weekend? Try to slow down and think! The Aries moon on Friday, and Saturday, will make you impulsive, which can lead to arguments and accidents.

All sun signs would be wise to enjoy the fun...with a cautious eye? But for the signs of Cancer, Capricorn, Aries and Libra it is a must!

Sunday, May, 29, 2011, a Morning Moon Jupiter conjunction...can bring inspiring thoughts and answers to prayers! What a great way to begin a wonderful day to be with family to celebrate memorial day...Enjoy!

Sunday, May 15, 2011

Mercury and Venus align again!!! However, this time both in the romantic earth sign of Taurus, for the next 17 days!


So when you find yourself wanting to sing silly love songs this... Monday, May 16, 2011...you can just...

"Blame It On The Stars"!

It is true, that our work week begins with an offer of both sensuality and pragmatism...which can get you to think about love, and in general of... what makes you feel good!

Why? Because a conjunction of Venus and Mercury, both newly into the earth sign of Taurus, gives us an unusual combination, about what we desire, that can make our lives much more comfortable... enjoyable ... and romantic!

It is the sign of Taurus... that is very practical... loves to be pampered, and is always enamored with all things beautiful, expensive, and sensual.

Having it now connected with the planet Venus, that rules romance and beauty, and you are likely to be in for more loving romantic date nights and wanting extra time with your significant other?

This is also a great time of year for a total makeover too, either for yourself, your home or garden?

Whatever area of your life that needs sprucing up? Even perhaps, a new financial plan for your budget...Venus & Mercury now in Taurus can help!

While this conjunction is going on through Friday of this week... Mercury, in Taurus too... will help keep ideas and conversations firmly rooted in reality... no pie-in-the-sky dreams, only common-sense plans will do now!

Also Monday... Mercury and Venus in Taurus, will form a pleasant alignment with the planet, Neptune.

Expect to feel a bit dreamier than usual and you could even perhaps experience moments, that are close to near-bliss? Or is it... startling intuition?

Tuesday, May 17, 2011, the Full Moon in Scorpio... will leave you more emotional, with hints of jealousy to contend with.

It's best at this time to focus on areas where you and your partners are sure to see eye-to-eye. And try to avoid unnecessary power struggles!

With three planets, including Mars... lining up in sensual Taurus, with a full Moon in seductive Scorpio... the time is right to boost your love life! Think new spring romance...a time for new beginnings.

Wednesday, May, 18, 2011, a little fire is added to all the emotion...with a Sagittarius moon. Perhaps just the spark you will need to get you to be more direct in asserting yourself towards your future goals?

Especially if you are an Air or Fire sign? Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Sagittarius, Leo, Aries?

Thursday May 19, 2011...the Sagittarius moon in positive aspect to its ruling planet Jupiter, can make Thursday, a lucky one.

With Prayer and positive thinking... bringing positive results!!! Sagittarius, Leo, and Aries, are the signs most likely to notice.

Friday, May 20, 2011...we will wind down the cycle of our Sun's stay in practical Taurus. Expect to put the finishing touches on projects that you began last April 20?

Also with Friday's moon in the sign of Capricorn, a serious mood might get the best of you? Try not to let that happen, because it could spoil what could be a good weekend.

The planet Mars, is co-joined the planet Mercury all day on Friday...which might make you go over board talking too much? Or is it accident prone?

Saturday, May 21, 2011, we welcome the Sun newly into its cycle of Gemini. Happy Birthday...to all those born in the air sign of the Twins, Gemini.

Saturday, is about paying attention to those practical serious issues!!!

And Sunday, May 22, 2011...is about being more flexible! With a need to get away from it all?

Just be sure not to run too far... your judgement might be off? Try to keep your expectations open all day on Sunday! Because forcing others to see it your way, will just bring needless arguments with possible unexpected endings!

So Slow down everyone, to have a safe and fun Weekend!

Monday, May 9, 2011

The general mood over Mothers day, Sunday, May 8, could have made it difficult for you to easily express your true feelings!


However, that changes nicely on Monday, May 9, 2011!

So that when you find yourself really telling someone just exactly how you feel, as this work week begins?

You can just... "Blame it On The stars"!

Yes, our stars will be in a more direct... get it said, and get it done... mode this Monday... coming from a fire Venus, Mercury, conjunction, along with a fire, Leo, moon!

Ending some of the last few day's frustrations! Happily, making Monday, a good one for direct action, and feelings of accomplishment!

Especially when it comes to our personal relationships, and particularly if you were born under a fire sign? Leo, Aries, Sagittarius.

Tuesday, May 10, 2011, the Leo moon, gives us another day when we will feel motivated and enthusiastic! Lending its traits of desire to lead and be noticed!

In fact, it is a Leo moon, that can help us to go after what in the past, we have not had the courage to do? The only possible hang up on Tuesday, could come from an over blown ego, and an unyielding attitude from a moon, sun square, at around 4:00 PM EDT.

Wednesday, May 11, 2011...a very powerful three way, conjunction of the planets... Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter all in fiery Aries, with a positive trine... to the Leo fire, moon, early in the morning, makes Wednesday, this week the most significant for important happenings and changes!!!

Venus has been in a conjunction to Mercury for a few days, bringing lots of thoughts concerning love...and love's responsibilities... but on May 11, a happy meeting with Jupiter...

brings out Venus's fun and frivolous nature; with this you can now find yourself more free and happy. Also on May 11, Mars moves from Aries into Taurus. This transit tends to bring out your sensual side, while also adding more of our desire for pleasure-seeking and materialism.

Thursday May 12, 2011...a Virgo moon will slow us down and put us in a more detailed frame of mind. A good day to pursue your career goals, especially if you are a earth sign. Virgo, Taurus, Capricorn.

Friday, May 13, 2011...the planets, Venus and Mercury still in close connection... along with afternoon, moon Uranus, opposition...

can make Friday, one of surprises. It might be difficult to process, or set your mind to something. Take your time when making decisions and stay flexible.

Saturday, May 14, and Sunday, May 15, 2011, Venus, and Mercury are once again, hand and hand, in a conjunction! Bringing thoughts and feelings...strongly together!!!

Expect to want, and need to be with loved ones. And with the Libra moon at our weekends helm... many new love ties can, and will be made!

Not a weekend to spend alone!!! Spring... brings new romance...enjoy!

Sunday, May 1, 2011

After an extra energized weekend from a cluster of planets, in the Fire sign of Aries....including the moon!


Our work begins... with the moon ending it's monthly phase. So when you find yourself finishing up a cycle of your own this Monday, May 2, 2011...

You can, just "Blame It On The Stars"

If you have been trying to clean out or put an end to something unfavorable in your life?

Monday this week is the day! A day that the moon is ending it's monthly cycle... along with a helping positive aspect, to the planet that rules endings, Pluto! Giving you just the added willpower you need to be very successful to...go on a diet...stop smoking...or anything that you want to weed out of your life!

Tuesday, May, 3, 2011...is just the opposite, because at 2:51 AM EDT the moon begins a new phase, called new moon. A time of new beginnings!

Anything that you want to expand and increase will be helped if you began it on Tuesday this week. And in fact, the new moon's influence will give a helping hand with increases for the next 7 days!

This new moon, is in the earth sign of Taurus on Tuesday, and is particularly helpful with spring activities... like planting seeds and sprouts in the garden. Or the beginning of anything new...even a new loving relationship?

Wednesday, May 4, 2011... the Taurus moon, still with us in the EDT morning hours, helps us to begin our day calmly, with our minds on the practical.

However, that trend can quickly change? When the moon changes sign into Gemini, at 1:09 PM EDT, and makes a difficult aspect to the our intuitive, imaginative, planet Neptune! Bringing out our desire, to deal with longed for fantasies? Detail and fact, maybe, a bit foggy at best. So at the very least, you might experience a sudden desire to break from routine, during Wednesday afternoon.

With some sun signs, really feeling edgy ... and experiencing unexpected disruptions... they would be the signs of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, and Pisces. And all sun signs, would be wise to apply extra patience, when dealing with communication...giving things a second try?

Thursday, May 5, 2011...things smooth out nicely, as the Gemini air moon... lifts all of our spirits, as it positively aspects... the planets, Saturn, Mercury, and Venus! Making Thursday, this week, my pick of the week to be the most productive, and positive!

Friday, May 6, 2011...gets off to a really good start too, as the Gemini moon, ignites, optimism when it makes a positive aspect to the planet that rules our belief's and luck, Jupiter... during Friday's EDT morning hours.

Then Friday afternoon's hours... will be helped by the Gemini moon's air influence to our Aries, Fire, Mars...giving us the energy and enthusiasm to get most anything, accomplished!

Late Friday evening...the moon enters home loving, Cancer at 10:32 PM EDT, and will help our intuition as it positively aspects the new position for the planet, Neptune.

Saturday May, 7 2011...early morning can be a bit disruptive...due to a moon Uranus aspect, called a square...at around 4:00 AM EDT. The best way to deal with possible disruptions at that time? If you can, would be to sleep late? Or if you are up early morning, on Saturday? Best to try to stay as flexible and as open for unexpected changes as possible.

The stars get calmer, late Saturday afternoon. But our moods can be a bit down, coming from a moon Saturn, square. It could be...that feelings, that are attached to emotional ties, need to be given their proper attention! Perhaps just the right frame of mind to make those mother's day plans?

Sunday, May 8, 2011...Mothers Day!

I find it interesting, that the moon is actually this Mothers Day... in the very sign, that rules home, family, and Mothers..in the water sign of, Cancer!

However, unfortunately for everyone's mood, and activities on Sunday. .. this water Cancer moon, will be in difficult aspect to 4 planets that are in, the fire sign of, Aries! Water, and, Fire? Can make steam!

Meaning, that we will need to exercise extra caution, and patience, to make this Mother's Day, a good and safe one! Try to let annoyances, pass, calmly keeping them, small... and do not let your feelings get ruffled into needless disputes.

That way, you can hopefully have a mothers day that any Mother, would be proud of!

Mother's Day, Blessings everyone!!!!
