Your horoscope for the week ending 22nd June predicts drama ahead
The week ahead is nothing short of dramatic, so don't do anything rash. Most importantly, stay in your lane. Mars in Leo squares off with Uranus in Taurus on 15th June, urging us to embrace our freedom and autonomy at any cost. Later in the day, Jupiter in Cancer shares an intense aspect with Saturn in Aries, pushing us to be assertive and domineering when it comes to the way others feel. Mars rolls into Virgo on 17th June, giving us a chance to be practical and demure in the way we express ourselves. Jupiter and Neptune in Aries share a fraught connection, dissembling our dreams in place of realistic ones. The Summer Solstice coincides with the Sun's entrance into Cancer on 20th June, bringing the longest day of the year and beginning of a new season. The following day allows us to ignite our intentions for the next three months, when Mercury in Cancer and the Nodes of Destiny link up. We can begin to manifest our ideas and hopes for the next three months. Whoo-hoo! You like to win, however, that does not mean you shouldn't take accountability for your actions in a bad situation, instead blaming someone else. Take a long, hard look in the mirror and understand that it takes two to tango. You're one of the rams taking the lead. Some of the secrets you've been hiding are coming out. The skeletons are re-emerging, due to the fact that you've told different stories to various members of your squad. They'll be putting the pieces of the puzzle together and finding out the truth. Get ahead of the game and confess. Your friend group is dwindling, but the quality of people who are remaining are worth their weight in gold. It's okay to let go of pals who aren't serving your best interests and not on the same level as you. TBH they're lowering your vibration, which is beginning to peak. Even though you're killing it at work, there are issues with your boss. Upper management is still waiting to give you the raise you were promised, which is making your frustrations heighten. Before you go off, take a moment to calm down and send a firm, direct, and assertive email. Consider this your moment to start planning a short spa holiday for one. Although you want to bring your crew with you, it's best to take some time to rejuvenate your senses alone. The truth is that you need some one-on-one time to decompress and unwind, like Eat, Pray, Love. You might hit a bump in the road within your BFF when they hit you up to borrow money, which will make you uncomfortable saying 'yes' or 'no' to. Since they put you in an awkward situation, set terms that are realistic so no further issues occur in the friendship. You are finding that your 'ship is distracting you from work obligations. Your partner requires more energy than you're prepared to give. They can do so after hours if they want to be extra and messy. They should know better than to bring the drama into your place of business. You can't choose your family but they'll always be by your side through thick and thin, opposed to someone who is a friend that can split on a whim. Rather than give your brood a hard time by judging them, focus on the positives that they bring to the dynamic. You don't have to answer to anyone, so when people question your actions, you should not give them a response. It's your life and up to you to make your own choices. If anyone has an issue, they should talk to your hand because you don't need to hear it. Your financial problems are reaching a feverish pitch, making this week seem like you're out of control regarding your money situation. Hang tight, because a prosperous investment is coming your way that will help you get out of these circumstances and hopefully bring you financial success. You're sussing out your frenemies one by one. At the moment, you may feel extremely upset and lost; however, you'll soon come to realise this is for the best. You don't need any negativity around you, especially from people whom you thought you could trust. Life's too short for fakeness. You don't have to flex to prove you're a force to be reckoned with. Once people get to know you, they'll find the layer underneath your sensitive spirit is tougher than they know. Your resilience allows you to be the quick and agile fish who swims away from wacky energy.

It's The Most Fabulous Time Of Year — Venus In Taurus Is Here
It's the most fabulous time of the year. Venus and Taurus bring us positivity, creativity, and luxury from June 6th to July 4th. In the weeks ahead we will surround ourselves with art, beauty, and pleasantness. There will be good food, good sex, good rest, and no real cares in the world. Doesn't that sound nice? And you're not dreaming. This will be our reality. You can let out a long sigh of relief. When it comes to style and flare, Venus in Taurus is a step above the rest. This placement is known for its fine palette and indulgent desires. Luxury, elegance, and taste are elements of Venus in Taurus's aesthetic. If you have super fine fits, take them out and wear them during this time. If not, you might consider going on a hunt for some items to align. When Venus is in Taurus not only do we want to feel good, we also want to look good. The same applies to our makeup, perfume, and self-care routines — look, we didn't make up the rules, we're just following the ideals of the Venusian placement. Venus in Taurus makes it a habit to go to spas to decompress. Physical touch through massage, acupuncture, or facials helps Venus in Taurus heal since it appeals to its earthly senses. Even cuddle parties can transcend Venus in Taurus to a better state of being. Put a class or treatment on iCal to lean into a healthier vibe in the weeks ahead. You may even start going weekly. If you cannot, walking in nature or forest bathing will also be fulfilling. So, let's talk about sex, bb. This transit is all about embracing our sensual pleasures. Say 'yes' to hedonism. Don't deny pleasure to yourself! Sex without a grand finale won't cut it, and we'll want to experience multiple orgasms both solo and with company. We may become momentary flirts and players. Anything with anyone is possible now that planetary ruler, Venus, is riding the Bull. Pop a bottle and have fun. This time around Venus in Taurus is a little friskier than ever. Venus will square Pluto on June 9th, intensifying relationships and power struggles within them. Reconciliation is possible and a stronger foundation will be built as a result, but it will take some time to resolve matters because Venus in Taurus hates when its peace is disrupted. The romantic planet is also making decisions about relationships on June 26th, when it connects with the Nodes of Destiny. We are defining partnerships and deciding how to proceed on July 4th, when Venus connects with your Uranus (the freedom seeking planet wants us to be autonomous on Independence Day) urging us to grant ourselves space to think. Acting aloof on this day is totally acceptable because we will want alone time away from the fireworks. Shake-ups and breakups are possible if boundaries aren't respected. All in all, this doesn't spell out doom or gloom in matters of love, we are in our heads and not our hearts trying to figure out our own lives. It's only until we get pressed by others will relationships start to get a temporary clap back. Most likely, we'll switch up the dynamic and evolve — for the better. Important Dates: June 6th: Venus glides into Taurus, bringing a lusty and relaxing vibe our way. June 9th: Venus in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius, creating drama and intense dynamics since our emotions are at a high. June 11th: Venus in Taurus and Mercury in Cancer link up, allowing us to communicate our innermost feelings. June 26th: Venus in Taurus connects with the Nodes of Destiny, pushing us to contemplate our romantic futures and present situations. July 4th: Venus forms a conjunction to Uranus in Taurus, urging us to reveal our true selves and state our deepest needs to those we love.

Your weekly horoscope for the week ending 25th May predicts big change for that next step in your life
The week ahead is full of changes, all of which are propelling us forward into the next stage of our lives. The more we resist, the harder it'll be to reap the benefits. Mercury in Taurus squares Mars and Leo on 18th May, making communication passionate and intense. Be careful and watch out for things that are said because they might be detrimental to relationships. On the same day, Jupiter in Gemini shares a fraught aspect with the Nodes of Destiny, asking us to take a moral choice - whether or not we take the high or low road depends on our personal circumstances and peer pressures. Think matters through before embarking in any direction. The sun in Taurus harmonises with Saturn in Pisces on 20th May, urging us to adult our lives. Being responsible is key and aspirational at this time. Gemini season begins on 20th May, welcoming in the last month of spring with a fresh and flirty vibe. On 22nd May, Venus and Aries will harmonize with Mars in Leo, creating a sensual and passionate energy. The Sun and Neptune and Aries link up on 22nd May, urging us to embrace our wildest dreams and fantasies. Mercury connects with the Nodes of Destiny on 23rd May, bringing people into our lives who will pay an important role in the future - make sure to get the contact information or follow them on IG to stay in touch. Saturn makes a big splash into Aries on 24th May, teaching us to fight for what we want and to challenge authority. This is a major turning point for us, since we'll try to be less passive and more active in the months to come. The sun and Pluto in Aquarius come together on 24th May, heightening our desires and escalating power struggles later. Don't engage in arguments that are petty. Later in the day, Mercury and Uranus form a conjunction in Taurus, suggesting we set aside the drama and give peace a chance instead. Everybody seems to want to rule the world, and they're swerving into your lane when you're in charge. Having a mature approach to handling matters will show them who's the boss. Suggest ways in which you can effectively work together rather than ice them out to be a good leader. Stop being hard on yourself, Taurus. No one is perfect, including you. Instead of critically analysing everything you've done wrong in the past and present, know that you're amazing the way you are and doing your best. Give yourself the love you deserve and treat yourself to a "you" day. You're taking a break from the never-ending drama circulating your social circle. You don't have the emotional bandwidth to play games and keep your guard up constantly. When you reappear on the scene, you'll be full of love and light, but you will know your limits and set necessary boundaries. Although your career is hitting a high, you might have issues seeing eye-to-eye with your boss and management. Before you assert your frustrations to colleagues, sit down with the department head and work through matters. They might meet you halfway and praise you for your directness. You got this, Cancer! Being a spiritual warrior means always fighting for what you believe in. You might find that your opinions are waffling back and forth; however, your core philosophy remains the same. Don't back down from a friendly debate that makes you question matters. An open mind is pivotal for your journey. Your finances may be in a bit of a crunch, which is why you shouldn't flex your credit card. Make sure the items you purchase are returnable in case you realise they were a financial mistake. It might appear as though people are shading you, due to their comments and side-eye that they're throwing your way. They're just jealous of your charm and swagger, knowing that it's a projection of how they feel about themselves. You're fabulous and great. Don't forget that you're a star, Libra! It might be more complicated than ever to get your points across in a discussion, which means that you should take a step back from the argument and find better uses of your energy. Everyone wants to be right, even though no one knows at all. Disconnect from the situation. A push from the universe seals the deal when it comes to a DTR. Before you change your social media status to 'in a relationship,' consider soft-launching the ship. The reason is that you do not want to be in the limelight, even though you're proud and enamored with your boo. You're feeling like you have to get your sh*t together, but in reality you do. So you don't own a five-bedroom house or drive a luxury car. These aren't things that define you. Outside forces are bringing you down, even though you're doing better than ever and thriving now. Rather than putting on your party shoes and going to the new hotspot, you can relax at home. Dance to Doecchi in your satin PJs and watch Kate Hudson rom-coms with a bowl of buttered popcorn. You should focus on your happiness and self to get you through the week. Your confidence needs a boost! Look in the mirror and state five amazing things you adore about yourself. If the list is longer than that, recite them all. As long as you feel how incredible and beautiful you are inside and out, you've begun the work to evolve your self-esteem.
