Weekly LoveCast™ Week of June 21-27 by Cortney Litwin

Source California Psychics®

The Summer Solstice on Monday includes an emotional wake-up call from Uranus, which can inspire a fresh perspective (or sudden change of direction) concerning love. Tension escalates this weekend ... First, a stressful planetary line-up on Friday can wreak havoc on social activities. Next, Saturday's Full Moon in Capricorn connects with Pluto and Mars, which can fire up both passion and anger. Finally, a Mercury-Pluto opposition on Sunday can prompt both deep discussions and obsessive thinking. Strive to stay flexible and objective during any storms that come your way this week. Best days for socializing: Tuesday and Wednesday.

Aries: Everyone around you needs something from you this week, which can prompt a tug-of-war between freedom and commitment, both in love and at work. Exploring a new locale can bring romance toward the middle of the week. Rash actions or words cause conflicts during the Full Moon this weekend, so be considerate of the needs of others.

Taurus: Your vision of what you want in a relationship is being expanded this week, which can propel you out of your comfort zone. Paying attention to your intuition will help clarify your direction. This weekend, the Full Moon can being romance during a spiritual or educational activity, but verbalizing your desire may be difficult.

Gemini: Friendly gatherings widen your social circle this week, but you'll need to weed out the people who are unreliable or incompatible. That goes for coworkers who want to spend time with you, too. Love is unpredictable on Friday. This weekend's Full Moon inspires a sexy rendezvous, but an old emotional issue may need to be resolved, first.

Cancer: Romance sizzles at the start of the week, but relationships of all sorts seem to get complicated as the week progresses. Analyzing and then releasing negative feelings will help you stay centered and move forward. That's especially true during this weekend's Full Moon, when old relationship patterns can hinder a commitment.

Leo: Feelings are intense/prickly at the beginning of the week. Then your sense of adventure takes over mid-week, which can either inspire or rattle romance, depending on how far into the freedom abyss you're willing to go. You'll likely come back down to earth during the Full Moon this weekend, when love requires you to pay attention to the details.

Virgo: Any relationship rut you've gotten into is likely to be purged (or at least illuminated) this week. Whether it's a person or a relationship pattern, look to release what's not working in your love life. Your creativity is getting a wake-up call as well. This weekend's Full Moon evokes your sense of daring in the boudoir!

Libra: The challenge this week is to express your independence while cooperating with those close to you. It's all about finding a balance between fulfilling your needs and the needs of others. A conflict may produce an "ah-ha! moment" on Friday. This weekend's Full Moon prompts you to analyze/release a family pattern that impedes your love life.

Scorpio: Feelings escalate at the start of the week, which can intensify passion, but also cause you to overreact. Diplomacy and objectivity will be needed during a heated discussion on Friday. Issues over power and control may be in your face during the Full Moon this weekend, so strive to hold love gently in your hands.

Sagittarius: A serene lakeside retreat (or other watery locale) can inspire romance at the beginning of the week. Others may find you unpredictable mid-week, when you'll feel pulled in different directions. Focus is the key to success. Freedom clashes with duty on Friday. The Full Moon this weekend challenges you to be honest about your deepest desires.

Capricorn: An ordinary event may trigger the need for a change in your relationship -- or at least a discussion about how to improve your connection. If you're solo, you'll be inspired to see love in a whole new light. This weekend's Full Moon in your sign illuminates the inner and outer blocks that hold you back from fulfillment in love.

Aquarius: An inner pathway between your unconscious and conscious can open up this week, which will reveal any emotional issues that hinder your ability to manifest true love (and other goals). Taking some quiet time will help you perceive the insights coming to you. This weekend's Full Moon awakens your intuition/inner voice as well.

Pisces: The need to stand up for yourself may collide with your natural sensitivity this week, but may be necessary, nonetheless. Look for a moneymaking opportunity mid-week. Your intuition will help you see through a communications quagmire on Friday. Saying good riddance to negative people in your social circle is must during this weekend's The Full Moon.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Monday 21 June 2010



Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Making your home a comfortable haven from the outside world is becoming an increasing priority. The demands of public life are weighing on your shoulders. You need a place where you can let your hair down and put your feet up. Creating a tranquil bedroom will bring you the peace of mind you crave. Choose mellow earth tones for the colour scheme, and splurge on comfortable pillows, a firm mattress, and quality bed linens.

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Spending time with close relatives strengthens your resolve. It's nice to know you have people who love you unconditionally. This knowledge will help you start a family, buy a home, or launch your own business. In the past, you had doubts about putting down roots. Now you have a better sense of your needs, and are willing to act on them. If you're still too young to make a commitment, focus on getting the training or experience you need.

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) The time has come to spend money on your education. Starting college, buying textbooks, and purchasing a computer are among the possibilities. Although these tremendous outlays of cash are distressing, they will pay off. Think of them as investments in your future. Taking a management course will come in handy quite soon. You could be asked to oversee a team of workers. Knowing how to get the best out of your team will make you an able and effective leader.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Your first priority is your family; taking care of your nearest and dearest gives you a sense of purpose. Whether this means fixing your offspring nutritious meals, looking after a frail relative, or putting money away for a youngster's education is immaterial. The important thing is to respect and protect your nearest and dearest. Your nurturing side attracts favourable attention. Don't be surprised when you're asked to take charge of a large group of people.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Flying beneath the radar is a good strategy. Don't give your rivals reason to think you have your sights set on a promotion. By fooling them into thinking you are content with your current position, you'll gain an advantage. A secret love affair gives you a new lease on life. It's so exciting to sneak around with the object of your affection. If you're already in a relationship, arrange a romantic rendezvous for you and your partner. The two of you need to get away by yourselves.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Friends care passionately for your welfare. If a trusted person warns you against a course of action, you'd be wise to take notice. At times, you take on projects just to prove your ability. Unfortunately, such assignments leave you exhausted. Do yourself a favour and pass up such opportunities. Make more time for social pursuits instead. You've earned the right to rest and relax with your loved ones. Going on a trip by the sea will be tremendously therapeutic.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Career prospects are improving. You'll have a chance to make a name for yourself through your excellent taste and strong leadership skills. An interview with an impressive company will go swimmingly. Be sure to wear something attractive and sophisticated. Remember, you are selling yourself. If you are thinking of a government job, this would be a good time to do so. Stress your ability to work with others, as your predecessor lacks your diplomatic skills.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Spending more time on spiritual pursuits keeps depression at bay. You're so weary of dealing with practical matters like money, work, and chores. Studying with a respected expert will lift your thoughts to a higher plane. It will also teach you valuable skills for coping with mundane problems. Never underestimate the power of prayer. Meditation has significant benefits, too. If you don't believe in a higher deity, you can always submerge yourself in Nature.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Your sex appeal is at an all time high. Luring the object of your affection into a web of intrigue will be child's play. If you're already in a relationship, work on spicing up your bedroom routine. It takes work to keep passion alive. Fortunately, you're an adventurous lover who isn't afraid to venture into new territory. Your amour may be a different story. Find ways to entice your lover into greener pastures. Draw on your powers of persuasion.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You attract strong, capable people wherever you go. Be sure to make full use of this gift. If you're faced with a difficult job, enlist the aid of your friends. Don't be afraid to let others steal your thunder. You'll still get the credit for completing the project on time and under budget. Actually, you'll probably develop a newfound appreciation for the talents of your nearest and dearest. Relaxing with people and working with them are two different things.

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You take pride in your work, and seek to express yourself through an important project. Your efforts will make life easier for a large amount of people. Don't be surprised if you're given a promotion as a result. If you're unemployed, you could find a prominent position related to childcare, hospitality, or property. Even if you don't have experience in any of these fields, you will take to your new industry like a duck to water. It's all about having a positive attitude.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Spending more time on pleasurable pursuits gives you a contented glow. Lately, you've been spending most of your time on domestic responsibilities. Although you love waiting on your family, it has taken a toll on you. Put duties on the back burner and devote yourself to your favourite pastimes. Anything creative and imaginative gives you the thinking space to chill out. If you're considering putting down permanent roots this is a good time to see how the land lies.
