Up first this month - the twins of GEMINI!

For a pinch more foodie info on your Sun Sign, see the all-star Quickfire!

Gemini - May 21 to June 20
With your ruling planet Mercury in your sign this month people are drawn to you. Take time to stop moving while you eat so you can meet these new possible friends. Relaxation is critical this month and your digestive system will be grateful. Listen more and talk out assumptions for clarity, but avoid confrontations at mealtime. New moon in Cancer bodes well for caution, especially with monetary risks so keep your spendy twin’s fingers out of the cookie jar! Happy Birthday!

Cancer - June 21 to July 22
The full moon and new moon this month make it all about you… it’s about time! Create aggressive goals for nurturing a community fundraiser that includes summer socializing and fabulous healthy foods. You are among the favored few right now and can’t go wrong with any thought-out plans. Climb out of your crabby shell and enjoy it… people want to hang out with you!

Leo - July 23 to August 22
Pluto in Capricorn can trigger tension and make you prone to a summer cold. Get outdoors in the sun and get in shape by volunteering to coach for local kids’ org. The full moon will give a fitness assist and promote summer romance. Grab some healthy box lunches for the team or treat them to a Leo-licious barbecue and ice cream bar. Mix business with pleasure, you’re the only one who can pull that off!

Virgo - August 23 to September 22
Normally you appreciate the freedom of home, but the full moon clashes with Saturn causing you to feel trapped. Do your chores before you play, but don’t get consumed in the details; I know it’s hard, but try! Then get out to a meal with friends who center you and take your teens… the planets zipping around alignments this month will require them to have special attention. Be open to a new biz op.

Your pairing: Asian-influenced avocado salad with crisp veggies and a Riesling

Libra - September 23 to October 22
The full moon in Sag may cause an appliance failure, but other planetary alliances are good for getting your kitchen in order for summer. Nostalgia may consume you, don’t let the past hold you back. Good news… Venus in Aries balances favorably for socializing and romantic encounters and Mars in Taurus et al writes a recipe for profit that can earn extra funds, which you’ll need to host the best Father’s Day party ever.

Your pairing: Antipasti pizza picnic with a Bordeaux Sangria

Scorpio - October 23 to November 21
The new moon this month begs you to postpone travel for the comforts of home. Venus is your lucky charm so use the mix to reinforce ideas for creative performances at work. Planetary alignments smooth the way for love and important human connections around the barbecue where you can attract positive attention. Choose words well and success will follow. Set aside time for a mid-year budgetary review and you’ll find the funds needed for entertaining.

Your pairing: Grilled surf and turf with spicy notes and a hefty Sangiovese

Sagittarius - November 22 to December 2
The June 7th full moon in your sign starts this month off with abundance. Host your first party of the summer during this week; it will be a smash. Later in the month, try to budget income, but not your optimism. You can achieve a great deal at work with an emphasis on teamwork… and check into company policies about volunteerism. Choose the local food bank, it would be a positive bonus activity for you.

Your pairing: Seared Ahi tuna tacos with peach-habanera salsa and a cheerful Asti Spumante.

Capricorn - December 22 to January 19
Use the path of Mars this month to get in shape, but in a relaxing way – yoga with friends is perfect. The full moon compliments Mars promoting your health and sleep-filled nights. Tread softly on those hooves around the 21st, the new moon could stir up some quicksand. Take a short get-a-way weekend nearby as an opportunity to spend quality time with family and try out that new gourmet diner you’ve been salivating over!

Your pairing: Pulled pork and gorgonzola panini and a fruity Rosé

Aquarius - January 20 to February 18
Planetary alignments inspire creativity… remodel the patio exactly as you want for lots of summer fun and host a casual party to break it in! The new moon in Cancer on the 22nd  may spur some conflict, although nearly impossible for you – try to keep comments to yourself that week. Unexpected funds may appear, use the boon to indulge a foodie craving.

Pisces - February 19 to March 20
A few challenges may arise when the Sun and Mercury bump with other astro-bodies. Be careful driving, leave your PDA in your purse while you travel to lunch with friends. You relish in lots sunny attention and quality time with kids. Relax on indecision, it’s your birthright and it really doesn’t matter whether you go rock climbing or swimming, as long as you end up with a sunset and great meal.

Aries - March 21 to April 19
Venus in your sign early this month will bring you lots of new friend requests. Use the connectivity to pursue new positive relationships and explore new restaurants. The bright colors of summer and June 7th full moon perk you up and inspire vacation plans. Remain steadfast at work, avoid difficult people and triumph over power plays.

Taurus - April 20 to May 20
Venus entering your sign on June 6th heightens your magnetic charm and boosts the laws of attraction. Show gratitude and take your boss out to lunch. New moon in Cancer on the 22nd prompts you to jump on the bandwagon of out-of-towner wannabes… don’t do it, a trip right now would be chaotic. Enjoy friends at the local tavern instead and indulge in the peppery malted chips! Finances are looking up, relax a little.

Your pairing: Grilled rib-eye steak with horseradish walnut sauce and a peppery Cabernet Sauvignon
