This week begins with a healthy reality check as Saturn squares the curious Gemini Sun on June 5. Then love planet Venus enters Taurus on June 6, stabilizing your relationships and turning your attention to money and values issues. And, the full Moon in restless Sagittarius on June 7 reminds you to expand your vision beyond what you already know.

June 5: Sun square Saturn

Saturn, when it aspects a planet or the Sun and Moon, is like a parent that gives you a reality check so that you can assess your situation. Your responsibilities are highlighted now and, with this square, you're challenged to weed out superfluous activities and impractical plans and ideas. The Sun's placement in Gemini can indicate that you are being pulled in too many directions and have too many interests. Saturn says: pare them down into something that is useful and practical.

June 6: Venus enters Taurus

Finally this relationship planet enters a new sign for the first time in approximately four months! Because Venus turned retrograde and set-up camp in active, bold Aries for so long, you may feel a bit disoriented as Venus enters her home sign, Taurus. Now it's time to turn your attention to your financial life and the material nuts-and-bolts aspects of your relationships. This is a great transit to make a plan with your partner, your child or your accountant about how you spend or save your money.

June 7: Full Moon in Sagittarius

A full Moon in Sagittarius occurs when the Sun is in Gemini. These are both signs of travel, ideas, beliefs and education -- making this a restless Moon, physically and mentally. This is a great time to explore and move beyond what you already know. Expand your understanding and your sphere to make the most of this time. Curious and optimistic, this full Moon yearns for something new and different. Make sure though, with serious Saturn forming a T-square to this Moon, that you incorporate practicality when making plans. All full Moons signal periods of heightened emotions, and mark a culmination of the plans set in motion during the previous new Moon, which occurred on May 24.
