Happy Monday! My weekend was spent in a classroom at at the University of Calgary, taking a GMAT prep course. The GMAT is a masterful profit driven entity, owned by Pearson Publishers. I am not looking forward to taking the GMAT as 4 hours of computer dictated testing does not sound overly enticing. Unfortunately the test is a necessary evil for the pursuit of higher education. Like my horoscope suggests i am in a state of planning, and visioning what I want for my new year. The universe always has a funny way of presenting new opportunities, and tying up loose ends. This week, I want to challenge myself by letting go of self expectations, and to remember that it is okay to be in state of uncertainty. Like
Greg Brown said in his commencement address, "plans change and evolve."
With that, here are your Georgia Nicols horoscopes for the week of June 4-10.
Gemini:
Your future's so bright you're gonna need
shades. Fair Venus has been in your sign since April - so unusual! (It's
normally there for three weeks once a year.) And it will stay until August,
making you charming and boosting your social scene. (I repeat: Shop for
wardrobe goodies.) And now the Sun is in your sign, giving you a chance to
recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. In about a week, lucky
Jupiter returns to your sign for the first time since 2001 to stay until the
summer of 2013, magnifying your good fortune and attracting favourable
circumstances and important people to you. All these opportunities guarantee
that you'll be working hard at something you like in about a year 'cause you're
on a roll!
Cancer:
This is a time of preparation because your
birthday is about three weeks away. Since this marks the beginning of your
"personal" year, why not prepare for it? If you clearly define some
goals, the odds that they will become a reality hugely increase. If you know
your goals it is easier to do or go after what you want and, secondly, when you
know where you're headed, it's easier to make choices. Take a moment to think
about how you're doing at the art of living. What do you want in your new
"personal" year? It's curious how we make plans for sport events,
parties, business and family occasions, and yet we rarely plan our future.
(Even though the future is where you're going to spend the rest of your life!)
Sheesh.
Leo:
In astrology, there's something called a
"sextile." (And yes, it can be sexy.) Essentially, it describes when
planets are 60 degrees apart and it's considered to be highly beneficial. (It
has a sort of Venusian influence.) This fantastic Gemini hit that is embracing
the world is sextile to your sign. (Surely you didn't think you would miss out
on all this good stuff?) So you're in for a fabulous year ahead. In particular,
it will boost your popularity, attract all kinds of people into your life, and
help you make your hopes and dreams a reality. Yeah, yeah, it's a bit like the
tooth fairy, which, of course, you know is your Mom. (But how does she get into
the other kid's houses?)
Virgo:
This is the only time all year when the Sun
moves across the top of your chart acting like a spotlight on you. This is why
others now notice you more than usual, especially authority figures. And
because this lighting is flattering to you, these authority figures will ask you
to take on increased responsibilities. (You look so competent to them.) Don't
worry. Just say yes. You don't have to be a rocket-scientist to fill the bill.
This special "lighting" will dazzle them and you'll come out smelling
like a rose. And hey, with Mars still in your sign (foreeeeever) you have the
energy, drive, guts and determination to do anything. I say, grab the baton and
run with it!
Libra:
You want to explore the world because you
need to blow this pop stand. You need to grab every chance to travel or learn
something new from people from other backgrounds and countries. You're hungry
for something stimulating and exciting. Incidentally, you should know now is
the perfect time to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine,
the law and higher education. (These areas are blessed for you.) But do travel!
Meanwhile, romance with someone more educated or more experienced might rev
your engines. What you are hungry for is something to expand your world and
juice your life.
Scorpio:
This is a fortunate time for you in terms of
benefiting from the wealth of others. It's an excellent time to ask for a loan
or get a mortgage or a line of credit or establish a better situation regarding
debt because, whatever the result, it will probably benefit you. Many of you
will receive an inheritance or money back from the government. You might also
benefit indirectly through your partner or a third party. Essentially, you can
get money, gifts, assets and favours through others this month and in the
coming year. Therefore, take a look at these things and get your ducks in a
row. If there's something you want, this could be how you will get it.
Meanwhile, romance swoons dizzily along!
Sagittarius:
Many planets now make you focus on
partnerships and close friendships. (This focus is stronger than perhaps ever
before in your life.) It's a beneficial influence and can prompt you to become
seriously involved in a committed relationship, especially with someone older,
richer or more experienced. It could also mean existing friendships and partnerships
will become enriched and more meaningful. Naturally, this is an excellent month
(and, for that matter, the year ahead) to enter into professional partnerships.
It's a good time to consult experts and people who can help you simply because
others CAN help you. (Nevertheless, marriage will continue to be the main cause
for divorce.)
Capricorn:
Keep in mind you have a big chance this
month (and for the coming year) to improve your job. You can get a better job,
or better duties, or get rid of your evil boss (legally). Possibly, it means
you'll put a new spin on your job or develop a different attitude to it. The
upshot is something will change so that you feel greater fulfillment and
happiness and a sense of accomplishment from your work. In the same way, you
can beautifully improve your health in the coming year. Traditionally, you are
a long-lived sign who looks young when you are old. Think of what you can do
now to improve your health. Meanwhile, a work-related romance might begin for
some, which is always a boost to mental health!
Aquarius:
This continues to be a playful, romantic
time for your sign. Lucky Aquarians will take a vacation this month. Many of
you will explore opportunities to express your creativity because you're alive
with the desire to do your own thing. Playful activities with children will
also delight. (In fact, your ability to deal with children is excellent now.)
Naturally, romance is beautifully blessed because it's another fun diversion,
which is where it's at for you right now. You feel confident about who you are,
with no need to pretend to be anybody you aren't. Because you have a playful,
fun-loving year to look forward to, start to alphabetize your blessings. The
gods are smiling on you!
Pisces:
You're pleased that things at home are
smoothing out and becoming more enjoyable, more pleasant and happier for
everyone in the family. Many of you are redecorating and enjoying your home
more, or you're enjoying your home more because family relationships are more
loving and mutually generous. All this is happening because a fortunate
blessing exists very strongly this month and, in fact, will linger for the next
year in the part of your chart that's related to home, family and real estate.
All these areas will beautifully improve! In fact, you are looking at the best
year ahead for real-estate opportunities that you've had since 2001. Sweeeet!
Aries:
Grab every opportunity to take a short trip,
be chummy with neighbours, siblings and relatives, tackle your To-Do list of
errands and grapple with reading and writing, which so engrosses you. Yes!
You're busy! (But it's fun busy and you like it.) Schmoozing is delightful
because Venus makes you diplomatic and charming right now. And yet, on top of
this, you're working hard at your job as well as getting better organized in
your personal life. Bravo! You're even on a health kick. It appears you have
lots of reasons to give yourself a pat on the back. No wonder a lovely career
peak promises much in 2018.
Taurus:
Your money-making ideas are sound now, so
don't hesitate to explore them. Even your purchases look delightful, especially
those related to art and beautiful things. However, at a deeper level, you're
searching for something more than just money and treasures. What you really
want to discover is what matters, because you don't want to put your money on
the wrong horse and regret it when it's too late. It's important to define your
values because if you have the ability to attract what you want (which you do
right now), wouldn't it be smart to know what it is you want? If you give
thought to the car you drive or the clothes you wear, why not give thought to
what matters most to you in life?
