By Jeff JawerProvided by Tarot.comIf you have a chance to travel this month, Libra, do it. Planets are piled up in your 9th house of faraway places for the first three weeks of June, creating opportunities to inspire romance when you hit the road. If you're unable to take a trip, you can still benefit from these patterns by experiencing different cultures in your own hometown. The energetic Sun, vivacious Venus and communicative Mercury are all aligning positively with your sign, making you more comfortable meeting strangers, heading into unfamiliar territory and speaking from your heart.
However, Mercury is moving backwards until June 19, marking its retrograde period when words tend to get tangled and details overlooked. Be careful in what you say and how you interpret information, especially involving the nuance-free worlds of text message, IM and email. June 6 offers up some fun as your ruling planet Venus hooks up favorably with passionate Mars in outgoing Leo. If you're lonely, count on a friend to enrich your social opportunities. If you're already with someone, make it a point to go out and play.
Personal matters can be wobbly on the 12th as surprising events may shake you up. Another level of intensity could be reached on the 18th when Venus opposes potent Pluto, a pairing that can strip away politeness and take you to the emotional heart of the matter. In fact, this sets the stage for the rest of the month when feelings frequently overcome facts. Cool detachment and reason give way to more instinctual responses and less rational people.
