As mentioned in yesterday’s calendar entry, tensions reappear rather quickly on the partnership front following yesterday’s Moon-Venus union. The cosmic troublemakers this morning are Juno making an abrasive, 45-degree link to distant Pluto (1:07AM PDT) and Venus forming a contra-parallel with underworld-ruling Pluto (6:17AM PDT). This double-whammy from the shadow zone of the universe reminds you to be extra careful when dealing with affairs of the heart. The business and financial realms are also sent into temporary disarray via the Venus-Pluto encounter. Some productivity in your key areas of expertise may be regained around the time of a subtle, 30-degree link from the Sun to Ceres (3:04PM PDT). The dark-of-the-moon monthly vibration is becoming more entrenched since the next New Moon happens tomorrow morning. It is wise to be finishing up old projects from the last few weeks tonight as Mars and Saturn forge a 30-degree connection (10:04PM PDT). Reading, writing and research remain a top interest as the Moon continues its march through versatile Gemini.

The Daily Cosmic Calendar for June 15
Here’s another gift from the gods and goddesses who run the show from the invisible universe. The Moon continues its exalted march through earthy Taurus. Planting and growing your favorite flowers, herbs and vegetables makes sense with the Moon in this resourceful sign. In addition, the lunar orb makes a supportive, 60-degree link to the healing-comet known as Chiron (5:12AM PDT). Shortly thereafter, the Moon and Venus link-up in a subtle and yet still substantial, 30-degree rapport (6:23AM PDT). Of course, if conducting business as an expert is your cup of tea, then today’s lunar transit in Taurus can also be rewarding and a delight. Discover new ways to amplify your investments and pad your bank account. Giving you an intellectual boost is a supportive, 60-degree tie from the Moon to Mercury (5:01PM PDT). If you have a lot of tasks and errands on your to-do list, it may be better to accomplish them today than tomorrow as Saturday contains a long stretch of void lunar vibrations. Have an impromptu party at your place tonight or attend a play, poetry recital or film debut.
