This week in astrology: June 24 - 30, 2013

This week Jupiter moves from Gemini to Cancer and brings about tremendous energies. It takes Jupiter 12 years to travel though all the zodiac signs. Along the way Jupiter sends down blessings, expands horizons and makes resources blossom. Jupiter can also convince you to be wasteful, gamble with what you have or indulge in questionable behaviors. Keep your choices on the positive side by watching and thinking about choices. Jupiter and Cancer work together to fulfill themes of family and home. Watch! There will be an addition to your family or you will remodel your current home. There will be thoughts and ways to feel secure in who you are. Cancer likes to be in charge. They do not want to let go of the reins. Be careful if you give Cancer an opening. They will make over your home. Go after what you want and realize how lucky you are.

Mercury retrogrades this month. Take things slow an easy. If you are ready to communicate with loves, you will be closely observed and criticized. Review what is going on in your life. This is not the time to move forward. You are more contemplative this week. You think about what you can do better and why you are feeling stagnant. Before making a definite decision, decide what is important. Change careers to bring in excitement rather than partners. Change up your environment or go on a road trip. Explore who you are and where you are.

One more planetary event this week is Venus moving in to Leo. These planets stay together until the 22nd of July. Great time to find a soul mate. Watch out for splashing shows of affection from someone who wants to be close to you. Venus loves beauty and peace while Leo has expensive tastes. Go overboard in pleasure if you must. Show how much you care in creative ways and be careful not to overspend your bank account. When Virgo and Venus move together next month you will highly regret spending on frivolities. Keep energy close to you and express yourself in different ways. You can shine a little brighter this week so let your life go!

When you feel good that your emotional foundation is rock-solid then it is time to take on different energies and situations. Move ahead when you are secure. July is a time to sign contracts, buy a new car or look at new computers. Enjoy what you have done the last several months. Planets are orbiting around your house of family and emotional stability. Focus on the moment and be enthusiastic. It is your job to create the best possible life for you and your family.
