Gemini (May 21-June 20) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Mars and Jupiter are in your 11th house of groups and communities all month. This is a great time to recruit new members to your ensemble. Do you know a great clarinetist looking for a place to perform? Invite them to a concert and connect them with your conductor. Do you perform with a local flute choir? Do some outreach at a local college. There may be flute students searching for a few more community ensembles to participate in. Invite them to audition!
June 3rd – Mercury goes direct in your 12th house of behind-the-scenes activities. This is a great time to start working on new repertoire. Mercury will no longer be causing any confusion when it comes to those difficult technical passages or exhaustingly long phrases. Work on that really challenging work you’ve always wanted to play but never had the nerve to try. Mercury will help you make the impossible possible.
June 13th – Mercury moves into your 1st house of identity. Ask for what you want when Mercury moves into your sign. Do you need more practice time? Do you need a better position in a better orchestra? Do you need a new flute? Write it all down. Start taking the first steps toward your most important goals.
June 14th – A Full Moon appears in your 7th house of relationships. There may be a toxic relationship in your environment that will need to change or even end around the time of this Full Moon. Do you have a student that does not practice (no matter how many different ways you try to encourage them)? You may need to have a rather direct conversation about practice expectations with them. Ask them honestly if they enjoy playing the flute. They may be taking lessons just to appease their parents or add an extra-curricular to their college resume. What is their motivation?
June 21st – The Sun moves into your 2nd house of income. Your attention will shift onto your job when the Sun moves signs. Check out the job boards around this time. There may be a position opening in your field that perfectly meets your qualifications and interests. Go for it! The Sun wants you to shine. Time for a new challenge.
June 22nd – Venus moves into your 1st house of identity. Venus will ask you to think about your most important goals. What would bring you the most joy if you were to achieve it? Is there something that you can buy in the interim to bring you closer to this goal? Venus likes to shop – So let her! Take that beautiful new flute on a trial or buy that gorgeous new flute bag if it encourages you to practice more!
June 28th – A New Moon appears in your 2nd house of income. This New Moon may very well bring you a new job opportunity. Did you apply to a new job recently? Crush it on your interview and wow your audition committee to the best of your ability. You are an excellent candidate and poised for a new opportunity in your career. Take it!
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Mars and Jupiter are in your 10th house of career goals. This is a great time to make some serious headway on your career goals. Where do you see yourself in the next year? The next five years? The next 10 years? What are the steps that you can take now to get your closer to your goals? Perhaps this means applying to a super competitive job or taking an audition that your inner critic warns you is over your head. Take the leap of faith and apply to everything. Your dream job is out there!
June 3rd – Mercury goes direct in your 11th house of groups and communities. Schedule a few sectionals with your flute section when Mercury goes direct. Chance are that the Mercury retrograde stirred up a few miscommunications between yourself and your fellow fluties. Perhaps intonation was a mess. Or perhaps random interpersonal drama got in the way of great music making (it literally happens to everybody). Clear the air and work out obstacles with a bit of patience and understanding.
June 13th – Mercury moves into your 12th house of behind-the-scenes activities. Blog about some of your favorite practice routines when Mercury moves into your 12th house. What works best for you? Do you have a set routine or do you change it up every day? What is one thing that you typically add to your routine that is a bit outside the norm? Write about it! You may be taking a unique approach that other flutists would find quite useful in their own practices.
June 14th – A Full Moon appears in your 6th house of daily work and health routines. Something in your daily routine is just not working anymore. A Cancer likes to help everybody out, often to the detriment of their own needs. Perhaps you have volunteered for way too much. You won’t let anyone down if you need to step away from a responsibility that is taking far too much of your time. Others will understand. Try to be open and honest with them and provide a few good suggestions for alternative resources. This Full Moon is asking you to make yourself more of a priority in your daily life.
June 21st – The Sun moves into your 1st house of identity. Your focus will shift onto your top priorities when the Sun moves signs. Are you living your best flute life? What stands between you and being your most authentic flute-playing self? Are you devoting enough time to the flute activities that make you feel your best? Do you need a bit of flute retail therapy? Start putting yourself and your flute needs first!
June 22nd – Venus moves into your 12th house of behind-the-scenes activities. Practice from the heart when Venus moves signs. Dig out those old pieces that bring back the very best memories. Was there a competition you won in high school by performing a French Flute School work? Or an excerpt that you absolutely nailed on a live audition? Relive those awesome moments by playing through these works one more time. Can you find something new in these old favorites?
June 28th – A New Moon appears in your 1st house of identity. You have been focusing on your top priorities this month Cancer, and the Universe is about to reward you for your hard work.

Gather everything that you have been interested in. Did you hear a piece at a recital recently that you would love to program on your own upcoming recital? Get your hands on a copy and start working on it. It may be far less intimidating than you think. Is there a challenging new etude book on the market? Start working on it. The exercises in this book will help improve some of your weakest areas of technique.
June 3rd – Mercury goes direct in your 1st house of identity. Back in January you might have set a list of New Year’s Resolutions. How many of these resolutions were related to your flute playing? Revisit that list. Are you on track to accomplishing some of these goals or have you been distracted by other things? Time to get back on track! Create a new list. Perhaps call these your Mid-Year’s Resolutions. What would you like to accomplish in your flute playing by the end of the year? Make sure you are using SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound).
June 13th – Mercury moves into your 2nd house of income. Mercury will ask you to apply to new jobs. Brush up your CV and cover letter. Search for job listings on a career track that you truly want to be on. Audition to your dream group. Most importantly, do not sell yourself short. Go after opportunities to increase your income, support your work-life balance, and make you truly enthusiastic about your job. Wealth is not only measured in dollars. Create wealth by going after opportunities that make you happy.
June 14th – A Full Moon appears in your 8th house of banking and finance. You may be making the final payment on a loan or a credit card balance around the time of this Full Moon. Congrats! Make sure that you are paying all of the final fees and completing all of the final paperwork on time. You finally officially own that awesome flute! Celebrate your financial accomplishment with a glass of bubbly.
June 21st – The Sun moves into your 3rd house of communications. Your attention will shift onto writing projects when the Sun moves signs. Do you have a flute blog yet? If not, this is the perfect time to set one up. What do you love about the flute? Is there a composer whose work you love? Is there a genre of music that you enjoy performing? Write about it on your blog! You have a lot of great ideas about the flute and an internet audience of flutists ready to read your work. Get to writing!
June 22nd – Venus moves into your 2nd house of income. You will be very popular at work when Venus moves into your 2nd house. This is a great time to host a recital. Perform works that really resonate with you and your unique playing style. Invite everyone to your performance – friends, colleagues, family, advisors, old flute teachers, and flutists you admire (even if you barely know them). Share your performing gifts with your entire community.
June 28th – A New Moon appears in your 3rd house of communications. You may be inspired to start writing an article or a book at the end of the month. As your flute blog begins to take off, you may stumble across a really great idea for a larger writing project. Start brainstorming! Create an outline for your work. Where will you start and what is the main objective for your writing? Then just start writing!

Happy June!
