Come in, my dears, don't be shy. The cards have revealed to me that a rather voracious bunch of students would appear in my studio today... And, well, here you all are now. Have a seat, and do choose the chair that calls out to you first, and good luck will surely follow you the rest of the day. My name is Helena Trelawney, and I come from a very long line of Seers. Oftentimes, I even refuse to give my surname simply to have my readings speak for themselves. After discussion with your Head of House, we both agreed that I would be perfect to take over the position of reading Horoscopes for the lovely snakes, as I myself was a Slytherin during my school years. I have so many wonderful memories at Hogwarts, and it is with much love and preparation that I bring these future readings to you, and free of charge at that. I can't promise the information bestowed on you will always be good news, but the fates are not to be ignored, and happen upon us all even when we try our hardest to banish them.
So, with open hearts and minds, let us begin this journey together! And, who knows, my dear cousin Sybill may even step in for me should I leave suddenly due to a vision of an outbreak of Dragonpox.
Now, let's get started with the stars of June, Gemini and Cancer!
GEMINI - May 21 - June 20:
You are embodied by the mark of the twins, and often wish you could clone yourself with the overwhelming workload you're dealing with lately. However, this is your month, Gemini, so ask for that much needed help, and regain balance by taking a day or two off to reflect and enjoy the finer things in life. Perhaps a break at the Hogwarts lake is in order, or a shopping spree in Hogsmeade. Whatever you plan will do, but be sure you get that much deserved me time.
CANCER - June 21 - July 22:
The adaptable crab, you are able to survive almost anything life throws at you. However, you may find June especially difficult, and see yourself waving a white flag of defeat. I caution you now so that when the time comes, you instead hold your head high, for if you do, success is right around the corner. From poor O.W.L. scores, to Quidditch World Cup tickets lost, whatever the cause, your outlook should be to make lasting connections with those around you and the rest will fall into place.
LEO - July 23 - August 22:
The royal lions will find June to be a month of an abundance of creativity. Perhaps it's in the stars for you to create the next big broomstick game? Or maybe an art or writing project will earn you top marks. Whatever it is for you, Leo, there is nothing to hold you back this month. One word of caution would simply be not to expect this all to just fall into your lap. Think of your goal as a Floo Network fireplace. You must speak very clearly to reach the location you desire.
VIRGO - August 23 - September 22:
For the Virgos of Slytherin, now is the time to prioritize your fall and winter plans. Sure, summer is here, and that often means having lots of fun, but if you can have the patience to wait it out just a bit longer, your reward will be all the greater. June is your month to plant the seeds of your future so that what you put forward will come upon you tenfold. Trust that good things are coming soon, and reign in your over confident nature. It will all be worth it.
LIBRA - September 23 - October 22:
Scales with scales. Slytherins truly make the best Libras, and I'm not just saying that because I am one. You see, it is our balancing nature that allows for us to equally harness the best of our house's traits. Now, June will be a time of inspiration, though, not necessarily right away. By the middle of the month, things will come into focus for you, and I expect that for those 5th and 7th year students to feel as if a fog has lifted and suddenly they know just what their career focus will be from here on.
SCORPIO - October 23 - November 21:
Ah, yes. Our dear scorpions. So full of life and passion. This will be an especially fiery month for you, and it may be an overwhelming combination of intensities that mingle with your own. But don't let that get you down. Organization is key, and the better planned you are, the more prepared you will be for whatever war you are battling through. Now, this could be a simple reminder not to party too hard over the summer, and to make sure you do your class reading sooner rather than later. Whatever it is, a well organized mind will do you wonders.
SAGITTARIUS - November 22 - December 21:
This could be a testing month for our archers, but do not get discouraged. You may struggle for clarity, and it is certainly not a time for fair weather friends. Instead, find encouragement from those more supportive of you and your endeavors. This may even be the time to take a vacation and rest before jumping back into heat of things. It will be up to you whether or not you are successful, as this is all leading up to the final act later this year. Just think of June as one big quest, and you will do just fine.
CAPRICORN - December 22 - January 19:
The middle of June will demand you to put yourself first. Do not let the voice of others try to sway you against some much needed me time. You are not being selfish for desiring a time to recuperate, and your dreams are within your reach. Now, reflect on the perfect day, perhaps sipping a Butterbeer at The Three Broomsticks? Or maybe relaxing in a garden is more your thing. Whatever you choose, do so with your future in mind, and seize the day!
AQUARIUS - January 20 - February 18:
The wistful water bearers may find this month a bit of an awakening. Take a step back and confront your mirror image. Are you being too smug with current prospects? Then take a moment to meditate on ways to better one's self before taking the leap on what you think would be a great job or relationship. This will be a great month to focus on what you have already, and to take comfort in those things. Remember you are not in a rush in life, so enjoy the present, for the future will be there again tomorrow.
PISCES - February 19 - March 20:
Your sign is already a symbol of the division in your mind. Like two fish swimming in opposite directions, you paddle your way through the currents of life. June will lead you into an act of self discipline, such as joining your neighborhood's Quidditch team or applying as a summer intern to The Daily Prophet. Anything that will keep your mind and body active is going to benefit you this month, so find like-minded individuals to keep you accountable with whatever you do.
ARIES - March 21 - April 19:
The ambitious rams of our house are going to need some major patience this June. This may not be easy, but it will be worthwhile. Allow yourself time to perceive the moment in which you can move forward, but refrain from rushing. The Universe will show you the way, after all. There may even be a new person in your life that will be a positive influence on your future. Now I don't know if it is romantically or academically, but either way, take your time and unwind a bit as you wait.
TAURUS - April 20 - May 20:
A typical bull might spend June basking in the summer sun, but this month will likely be plagued with some doubt. However, it will not prevent you from exiting your comfort zone, so try to remain in the here and now to fret less about the distant future. To keep your mind off things, why not purchase a new cookbook, as I've heard the author of Charm Your Own Cheese has a new title releasing this month. An exciting hobby will inspire the rest of your summer, after all.
And that is all the time we have this month, but do check back with me in July. I can't wait for the discussions we will have together.
Until next month, my dearies,
-Ms. H. Trelawney
