Keep close to your Nikes this month, Child of Mercury. They’ll be ever so handy for the quick escapes you’ll inevitably need to make as your Ruling Planets careens through the zodiac sign of Cancer, hurling messages from one rambunctious god to another.

You spring into action on June 21, almost the instant you enter this new zone. You’re doing a lot to help someone but won’t necessarily be getting much recognition for it, so don’t expect any. Be careful from June 27 – 29 not to jump out of the frying pan into the fire. You feel nervous and defensive but can’t put your finger on why. Or perhaps you know the source of your tension perfectly well, but are also perfectly impotent to change it. At any rate, it behooves you to be aware of this excess of tension at the end of June. That gives you power to recognize, avoid or divert potential troubles. And that’s power to control the only thing possible – yourself. Don’t let your 4th of July be ruined by abrasive or insensitive words. Tell a silly joke instead – especially one that’s on you. Your Ruling Planet changes signs on July 5. Check back here then to see what this means for you!
