D  e  s  e  r  t     E  x  p  o  s  u  r  e  June 2005

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)—Life can feel like an endurance test during times like these, Gemini. Just remember that all your efforts will come to bear fruit. And know, too, that when you feel like you are getting nowhere, you are in fact making progress. Your actions do matter. And when you work and endure through the futile-feeling times, you are actually making the most valuable progress.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)—When you feel the space to exist in your truth and to be heard, you are very willing to lay down your sword and to give equal space for others to be. You are not threatened by opposition as long as you find enough ground to exist safely and fully in your own truth. You may not be received, but you are OK as long as you feel the room to exist alongside others in mutual respect.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)—It is amazing how we can feel abundance in the midst of circumstances that seem to suddenly inspire us through a simple change of focus. You find wealth and you revel in it now, Leo. Wealth is varied and relative and personal. There is nothing with greater value than the peace that comes from living in honor of the truth of your own soul. And every choice that empowers this makes you richer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)—It can seem like an easier choice to stay in relationships that are not for the best, but you, Virgo, have the strength to move on. With the willingness to grieve the loss of what you have had comes true liberation and a genuine openness to receive higher experiences into your life. We grow at different speeds than others and things are changing for you for the better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)—You get what you want, Libra. Victory does not always come at a price. You are able to achieve while maintaining a balance of honor. You show others how to be gracious and how to grow and gain without violating others. You are both sensitive and strong, which is beautiful to see.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)—Scorpios delight in the simple pleasures of existing in truth and depth. Your capacity to be present frees you now to enjoy the luxuries of this world. Your pleasure brings us all to a better place—because depth is beautiful thing and you, Scorpio, show us just how wonderful pleasure can be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)—To be seen by another and loved is a magnificent thing and you connect to that now, Sag. We cannot make ourselves be lovable, but we can exist more and more authentically and fully. That is where our power lies. And gradually, we draw to us those who can see the beauty in that expression. Yippee!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)—No one can hold ground quite like you these days, Capricorn. When you find yourself opposed, you find yourself more than capable to rise to the occasion and hold tight through the struggle. You are a force to be reckoned with and enjoy the strength these challenges bring you. There's nothing like a good workout.

AQUARIUS (January 20-February 18)—What makes you feel nourished, Aquarius? You are able to satisfy your cravings now. You see the world as plentiful and wherever you look, you seem to find what you want. It's like changing the channel. On one level, things remain the same while in an instant they become suddenly abundant.

PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20 )—You emerge from the cloudy pool of sensitivity and snap into piercingly bright and new clarity, Pisces. Your mind is sharp and you are able to remain true to your course. You need to be alert and to stay on target and you do it gracefully and are unwavering. Ah, won't it be nice to dive back into that pool soon. . . ?

ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19)—Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries. There is nothing more vital to you now, Aries, than delineating those boundaries and strengthening your sense of self and well-being. It is important to be stern when it comes to other people who try to infiltrate your space and interfere with your life. Turning your thoughts upon the issue of where you end and they begin and clarifying that to yourself is highly beneficial.

TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20)—The gifts of solitude are many, Taurus. You find a great wellspring of peace when you are alone. Remember that and know you deserve it. The payoff is high. When you give yourself the time and permission to be alone, you see yourself completely. And you get to enjoy, truly enjoy, your own company.
