Gemini
From the start, there is change in the air and a clear sense that you aren't just moving into a new month, but the second and very different half of the year. Normally, apart from the date on the calendar changing, as one month ends and another begins nothing else changes, with the planets in the same place that they were 24 hours earlier. However, this time, that is not necessarily the case and especially for the largest and most powerful planet in the solar system, with another shift set to be personally significant. The shift began on 29th June, less than 48 hours before moving into the new month.
It is then that eight days after the Sun left Gemini, bringing your birthday month to a close and handing the reins to the planets that here for the long haul, will quietly keep things on track, that Mars' return changed everything. Your birthday month might have ended, but Mars has returned to begin a new two year Mars cycle, making it clear that you haven't even begun to explore all your options, while having returned to spend the next six weeks fuelling your passions, drive, warrior and competitive spirit, while looking for something to channel this into. It was a day later that two events happened, the second with implications for the rest of this year and the first half of next year.
It began with Mercury's retrograde turn in your income sector, something that in the final hours of Jupiter's 12 month push for income growth and expansion put the brakes on, but in order to spend until 24th July going back over old ground to ensure no untapped income potential is overlooked. This saw Jupiter move on and as you move into the new month, on 1st July, he will be settling into his first full day in your communication sector and of what he will be working to make a powerful year for all aspects of communication. With Venus here until 10th July, this will give her mission to give your heart and your relationships a voice a significant boost, before she turns her focus onto things close to home.
