The Cosmic Connection
with Ursula Duffy
Astrology, by definition, is the study of time and light. It is an art and science that has been utilized by humanity for millennia to provide a better understanding of how the Cosmos affects life on Earth. One’s personal horoscope, also known as a ‘birth’ or ‘natal chart’, is a snapshot of the Sun, Moon, planets and more at the moment of one’s birth date, time and birth location. This snapshot holds many keys and secrets to one’s personality, characteristics and can be considered one’s personal map, guidebook and lesson plan for life! Everything in the Cosmos continues moving beyond the moment of your birth and influences your life in various and cyclical ways. Cycles according to the rhythm of the Sun, Moon, planets, stars, seasons and even at specific ages influence your life and possibly your attitude towards life. The weekly horoscopes provided here by Shore Local Newsmagazine are written based on your Rising Sign. These horoscopes are intended to provide guidance and insight based on these rhythms and the Cosmic connection to your lived experience. So much is written in the stars! It is my intention that these entries will assist you in deciphering what is encoded within you.
Horoscopes for
June 13 – June 19
♈ Aries: A new self-image and perspective are still blossoming within you. This new way of being hasn’t quite become clear yet and may still seem a little confusing. Continue the inner journey and dialogue with confidence and consistency.
♉ Taurus: Ideas and insights received, perhaps through unconventional sources, have captured your attention. Remember that action plans can take some time to gain traction, particularly with things that are new beginnings. Remember your intentions and remain focused on your goals.
♊ Gemini: Cross-pollination between yourself, your group of friends, and work is in the early stages of creation. Diffuse any challenges to your unique vision with empowerment in knowing that there’s only one of you in the entire world.
♋ Cancer: Hints about a career development in the works may be delivered. The news may not be well-received by others. Remember to hold firm boundaries around your own empathic tendencies and that you deserve all the abundance resulting from your hard work and dedication. Sometimes no response is the better response.
♌ Leo: You may begin to see the forest through the trees regarding a fresh lesson. Moments of pressure and doubt are part of the process. Feel through the emotions and release them, especially those that have bruised your confidence.
♍ Virgo: Seeing our shadows is usually the first step toward facing them. The people with whom we have closest relationships can help us learn more about ourselves. Asking for help and having supportive conversations open the door for shifts in perspective.
♎ Libra: Mirrors of you usually come in the form of another, whether the experience is favorable or unfavorable. It is not always perfect, but there is always a lesson. Hold in your heart the one that assists you in shifting your perspective.
♏ Scorpio: New routines grow step by step into habits. The ones that create a healthier you, and assist in a deeper connection with yourself, should have the highest priority. The evidence will reveal that eventually.
♐ Sagittarius: Sparks of inspiration can become solo projects, or even better, collaborative efforts. Keep an open mind about the path of creation and how the result could become something greater in working with others.
♑ Capricorn: Clarity around your true home will come. Daily efforts in communicating your feelings and needs are important, even if they seem futile. Practice makes progress is a helpful affirmation with plenty of room for adaptability.
♒ Aquarius: Your relationship to your own resources and self-esteem can be challenging, especially if you’re not feeling heard. Doing something that brings you joy and lights you up can help with feelings of frustration. Blow off some steam by going out and doing something fun!
♓ Pisces: How do you feel about your own independence? The journey in satisfying a yearning for home begins with coming home to yourself. Begin there, whatever it takes, and the next steps will reveal themselves.
Weekly Summary:
This week will require some reflecting back on mid-April, around the time of the Solar Eclipse (April 8) and the week afterwards. Think about what new ideas, friends and/or information came into your awareness then, and the ways they’re unfolding now. Also pay very close attention to themes arising around relationships to that experience as well as to other people. Things may feel or seem a little unclear now, but clarity will come in the weeks ahead. Remembering to keep moving forward through any confusion is important. The vibe of June will shift this week from a more social, exciting experience to one of more sensing, feeling and possibly wanting more time alone. See the above horoscope for your Rising Sign for more specific information.
