Today’s I Ching Hexagram for June 2 is 12:Standstill
12: Standstill

During periods of stagnation, inferior elements can rise to power. When the inmates are overrunning the asylum, summon up your fortitude, hide your worth and withdraw. Concentrate on your personal affairs with a quiet dignity, even if that means giving up short-term rewards.
Desiring to change a situation too quickly often creates extra conflict. By accepting hardship, while striving to maintain integrity, you are preparing for future growth. A seed of prosperity is often hidden inside the husk of misfortune.
Your Daily Number for June 2: 2
You’re more sensitive and intuitive than usual. You may find yourself having vivid dreams or even premonitions. Today you may wear the hat of mediator in a dispute, and you’ll do so with great success. Love and romance are also likely to have an effect on you today.

This Tarot Deck: Lord of the Rings
This represents a good time to be philosophical, to study and meditate upon the position you find yourself in, and form resolutions for the moment you become free again. Only those who possess wisdom, patience and optimism will be able to see through limitations, including possible humiliation, to grasp the inspiring lesson one can gain from such an experience.
Your Horoscopes for June 2

Although you might be a bit sleep deprived from all the energy that you have been expending lately, you’ll probably still be raring to go today. Mental Mercury enters airy Gemini, fanning your fires and fueling your enthusiasm. Keep in mind that you can push yourself too hard now, so don’t overdo it by piling more distractions onto your already busy schedule. If you spread yourself too thin, you’ll end up being exhausted by tonight with very little to show for your efforts.

You’ve been waiting for the right time to express a thought that’s been on your mind for a while. Although today may not actually be better than any other day, your frustration could provoke you to start a difficult conversation. However, your friends will lose focus if your words wander aimlessly, so be direct and keep your message short and sweet. Reassure everyone that you’re not seeking a quick answer; you just want to be heard and acknowledged.

Yesterday’s Gemini Solar Eclipse hit the emotional reset button and today when quicksilver Mercury enters your sign, your sense of starting anew is confirmed. But you may have so many possibilities before you that it’s difficult to pick only one. Take some time to think about something in your life that’s already served its purpose and then consider what you want to replace it. Concentrating on your current needs now can have a positive impact on your future.

Your thoughts may be running in many directions today, but communicator Mercury’s shift into your 12th House of Secrets hides your inner process from others. You are self-contained now and your loved ones might not realize the magnitude of your unsettled emotions. Even if you choose not to express your feelings, be sure to stay conscious of them because avoiding your truth isn’t healthy in the long run.

Your co-workers may be placing unspoken demands on you today and you aren’t sure how to deal with them yet. You think that you’re clever enough to work around whatever you don’t know, but you may soon realize that logic won’t be able to help you regain control of your day. You might attempt to guess the true motives of those around you, but this strategy will only bring frustration. Instead of trying to be the perfect employee, practice emotional detachment to alleviate the current pressure.

You are uncertain how to respond as you try to establish new objectives at work. It’s challenging to separate the useful information from everything you’re being told today as your key planet Mercury enters noisy Gemini and your 10th House of Career. Thinking about all the possibilities can be a daunting task if you need to make long-term decisions now. Thankfully, you have more time than you realize and should be able to gain more clarity over the next few days.

You could have more bounce to your step today, as if a lightness of being has entered your body and activated your cells all the way down to the tips of your toes. However, your head is also affected as the changing clouds move quickly across your mental landscape. Luckily, Mercury shifts into your 9th House of Future Vision, encouraging you to reach further than usual. Give yourself permission to fantasize about what’s ahead without worrying about whether or not it’s actually possible.

Mercury’s shift into airy Gemini today brings intellectual acuity to your 8th House of Intimate Sharing, reinforcing your need to intensify your emotional interactions. Naturally, digging deep is an important part of being a passionate Scorpio, yet now you can explore the shadows from a more lighthearted and logical perspective. Nevertheless, you must be careful, for you could still be overwhelmed by unconscious desires if you don’t monitor what you feel as you go along.

Interactive Mercury enters your 7th House of Others, shifting the emphasis onto how you respond in a relationship, rather than what you might choose to do on your own. The focus seems to be on everyone else but you today. Unfortunately, if you attempt to play the lead, things could get complicated quickly. Keep in mind that you can have more fun if you’re willing to step out of the spotlight for a while and play a supporting role, instead.

It’s not easy to remain serious today, even if you have critical responsibilities to fulfill. Mercury’s entry into flighty Gemini can scatter your thoughts as fast as you refocus them. Every time you concentrate, something exciting comes along to pull you off track and down a curiously fascinating detour. Stop resisting the inevitable; instead of trying to be productive, just let go and see where the intellectual currents take you.

A plethora of pleasing planetary positions pulls you away from your obligations today. Initially, you may set your goals high, but as the day progresses, the opportunity for play outweighs the potential rewards for hard work. Mercury’s shift into your 5th House of Spontaneity indicates that it’s wiser now to put aside your previous plans and simply make up new ones as needed.

Although you could be required to go to work today, you may consider staying home anyway. Your friends might think that your current desire for solitude is a sign that something is wrong, but they couldn’t be further from the truth. Carving out a bit of time to focus on your home and family is a smart way to get in tune with Mercury’s move into your 4th House of Roots. Don’t worry about what others say; your inner security counts more than anything else now.
New Moon Report for June 2 – Mercury in Gemini

Mercury in Gemini
Thursday, June 2, 1:03 pm PDT, 4:03 pm EDT
Mentally mobile Mercury becomes even more agile in its airy home sign. Clever thinking and facility with words enliven conversations and send messages with playfulness and humor. Concentration is likely to be much more difficult to come by in this curious sign but it might be hard to notice the difference in these Twittery times. We tend to zip from one subject to another, which is ideal for broadening a base of interests, but makes it difficult to slow down and settle into deep contemplation on one issue at a time.
