CHAPTER LI

JUNE

The zodiacal influence for the month of June in general. Its effect on the character, disposition, finance and health of persons born in this period of the year.

The Zodiacal Sign of Gemini—the Twins—commences on May 21ˢᵗ, but for seven days being overlapped by the “cusp” of the previous Sign, it does not come into full power until on or about May 28ᵗʰ.  

From this date onwards it is in full force until June 20ᵗʰ, it is then for seven days gradually losing its strength, on account of becoming overlapped by the “cusp” of the incoming Sign of Cancer.       

People born in this part of the year, namely from May 21ˢᵗ to June 20ᵗʰ, and in the “cusp” to June 27ᵗʰ, have the characteristics of Gemini—the Twins—and may be considered more or less dual in character and in their mentality.

Their brains are subtle, versatile and brilliant. Of all the Signs of the Zodiac, they are the most difficult to understand.

They are mentally quick and rapid in thought and in matters where a subtle mentality is required they can out-distance all rivals.

They are charming in society and if taken in their mood of the moment, they are the most delightful people possible to meet, but one must not expect to have any deep hold over them or expect them to keep to their promises or plans, unless it suits their purpose to do so.                                                         

In their heart they believe they are constant and faithful, and so they maybe at the moment, but each moment to them has a separate existence.

They quickly grasp any project presented, and can pick things to pieces, or reduce all to nothing by their wit, sarcasm or criticism.

If they exercise their will-power to stick to one thing, they make most brilliant successes of whatever they undertake.

One class under this combination in June succeed best as far as making money is concerned, in speculative matters, on the Stock Exchange, as company promoters, or exploiting inventions or new ideas in business. They also do well in diplomatic negotiations, interviewing people, travelling through countries and making themselves charming to strangers. 

Their personality is so fascinating that people leave their presence thinking what a delightful interview they have had, and they generally become idolised by those under them.

In matters of affection they are the greatest puzzles of all. They can love passionately and yet be unfaithful at the same time. They often keep two homes, and usually by their wonderful tact escape being found out.

They make hosts of friends and are kind-hearted and generous to the person who fills their thoughts at the moment, but “out of sight, out of mind,” explains their fits of “forgetfulness” as nothing else can.       

They are highly strung and restless. If they are rich and can travel, they are always on the move. They love speed and rapid movement. They are good patrons of express trains, fast motor cars, airplanes and any invention that can eliminate distance and time.

They often have great “ups and downs” but nothing makes much impression on them. If they are depressed one moment, they may be equally gay the next.                                                

They change their outlook on life many times during their career, but if they once change in their feelings or affections for a person, it is as if that person for them had ceased to exist. They often abandon their ambition at the very moment of success, and they equally easily give up some position of responsibility just because it fails to hold their interest.             

The combined planetary influence and the position of the Sun in the intellectual and dualistic Sign of Gemini, also called the House of Mercury, (Positive), exerts a strong Mercurial influence upon the whole nature, giving them much intellectual mental powers, but at the same time a disposition which is involved, enigmatical and very difficult to understand.          

Such persons are largely governed by an insatiable craving for variety, and go to any length to break through a spell of monotony and routine. The intellect usually is brilliant and shows good reasoning ability, but the mental activity is so intense that, as a rule, it must seek expression in several directions at the same time.   

Persons born in this part of the year seldom, however, derive much satisfaction from work accomplished, for their nature has always the tendency to object it to severe criticism afterwards. Such persons often attain a prominent position in the centre of some progressive movement, but they generally follow two professions, one to suit the public and the other to suit themselves.                                                                                    

They are ingenious, inventive and energetic, but they should cultivate persistency and tenacity of purpose. If such persons cultivate concentration of their mental powers, they can always achieve success.

FINANCE

June is a difficult month to describe the financial condition of persons born in this part of the year. It being the House of Mercury, (Positive), whose “cusp” runs from May 21ˢᵗ to May 28ᵗʰ, the qualities of the planet Mercury begin to overlap those of Venus of the preceding Sign.                                         

The intellect appears to become sharper, keener and more ambitious as birthdates approach May 28, and from that out become more and more active underthe Mercurial influence.   

As Mercury is essentially “a planet of the mind,” it all depends on what direction the mentality is stimulated. It may be that the desires will develop for purely intellectual things, such as for science, art, literature, music and such like studies. If such is the case, one may be sure the ambitions will be strong and will compel the man or woman to excel in any of these lines of work.                                                                                                    

If however, the mind runs in the direction of the accumulation of material matters, such as finance, the tendency will be to get into lines of work where money can be made quickly and in consequence business, and particularly speculation, will attract the individual. The danger of being born under the influence of Mercury in this part of the year, is, that the man or woman will never be satisfied with whatever their success may be, and in the pursuit of especially money, they will be inclined to risk too much as speculators and so over-reach themselves in their efforts.  

In the same way, if the mind runs on the more intellectual side of life, the individual will be inclined to exhaust their energies and so bring on some form of nervous breakdown that may impair the continuation of their efforts. In both cases, the result in the end would amount to the same thing—namely, periods of cessation of effort and in consequence uncertainty of finance.                                                                       

If the nature is kept well under control, such periods need not happen, but the danger will be there just the same.

HEALTH

The question of health is governed by similar conditions for persons born in June. It is purely a question of the effect of “mind over matter.” If individuals born in this period of the year are successful and happy, they will baffle or prevent the attacks of disease. If not, they are liable to become the victims of all forms of illness that can be laid down to defects of the nervous system.                                                                                   

In health, persons born in this part of the year are seldom physically very strong. They live on their nerves and deplete their nervous system. They are like electric batteries that must be recharged from time to time. If they can do this by sleep they may then escape the breakdown that such persons are so often threatened with.

They have a tendency to suffer from nervous illnesses, such as stammering of speech, affection of the tongue and in some cases, catalepsy. The lungs are inclined to be delicate and pleurisy and pneumonia develop with them easily.

They are prone to eczema, scurvy and diseases of the blood.    

MARRIAGE, UNIONS, PARTNERSHIPS, ETC.

Marriage, unions or partnerships are seldom a success with those born underthe influence of the Zodiacal Sign of Gemini governing the month of June. There are exceptions to this, of course, as there are to all rules. June being the “First House of the Air Triplicity,” those born in this period will find their most likely chances of success in unions, marriage or partnerships with those born in their own Sign, May 21ˢᵗ to June 20ᵗʰ, First House of the Triplicity of Air. In the Second House of the Air Triplicity—September 21ˢᵗ to October 20ᵗʰ; or in the Third House of the Air Triplicity—January 21ˢᵗ to February 19ᵗʰ and in the seven days of the “cusp” at the beginning or ending of each of these periods. 

They are also attracted to persons born in the month of the year the exact opposite to their own, in this case to those born from November 21ˢᵗ to December28ᵗʰ.
