You will be working hard as the month opens, getting projects done and delighting in checking finished items off your to-do list. While pressure will be high for the first four days of June, after that you'll be able to chill out. Soon you'll feel quite accomplished for all you have achieved and you'll be able to relax.
From the start of the month until June 25, Mars will still be brilliantly lighting your house of fame and honors, so it's very likely you'll get praise, publicity, or the opportunity to try for a top position. The whole month shines for your career, and those in authority will be much more aware of your work. Look your best because you'll be singled out, for sure. When praise or an offer for a better job comes, it'll make you feel like a million.
One day in particular should stand out for career matters, and that would be June 4. A project you turn in will have legs - and take you places! Right to the top!
Try to be as productive as possible during the first few days of June, as soon Mercury will retrograde, from June 15 to July 9. Although you may assume you have two weeks to squeeze in all that you have on your schedule, actually you don't. You will begin to feel the slowdown of an out-of-phase Mercury. I will recommend that you not formalize any new deals until the new moon in Cancer, due next month on July 16.
Mercury rules all analytical thinking, information, communication, commerce, contracts, agreements, data, research, transportation, shipping, and machines / electronics. When Mercury goes out of phase, all these areas suffer.
Your printer may suddenly start to eat paper (instead of printing it!) or your DVD-VHS player may start smoking. (Mine actually burned the old fashioned way - by fire, much to my horror - on the last Mercury retrograde.) If any parts in your electronics are wearing out, you'll know it now.
It is never wise to spend for expensive items, like a car or computer, because you are not likely to enjoy your purchase and later will wonder, "What was I thinking?"
Mercury retrogrades three times a year for three-and-a-half weeks, and this time you may feel things more directly than most, for Mercury will retrograde in Cancer.
Don't accept or start your new job when Mercury is retrograde because too many conditions will be in flux. When it comes to employment, no matter how honest your prospective boss may be, no one is fully able to anticipate how things will change during these retrograde periods. You may accept the position only to find out later that the job is nothing like the one you discussed at the interview. Try to slow the process by saying your lawyer is in court, or that you will be going on vacation. Usually the process will go slowly anyway. Contracts signed under Mercury retrograde always need to be renegotiated afterwards, if at all. (Most people never want to work with the other party again.)
Practical matters like making more money may be on your mind too in June, and if so, a meeting with a potential employer or new client on June 19 will go well and you should come out with the price you name. With Venus and generous Jupiter collaborating so beautifully, you may even be surprised by the generous increase you get. If you had already made hints that you'd like to raise your compensation or fees, you will find things easier, as Mercury in retrograde allows us to return to earlier conversations and get things settled.
An opposition of Jupiter to the Sun on June 5, and a similar opposition of Saturn to Neptune on June 25, suggest you need to find ways to work more profitably, especially if you are self-employed. You might want to start charging a separate fee for your expenses associated with the job, if you aren't doing that already, as one example. These planets will open your eyes to certain realities and give you a chance to fix them. Think of these planets as loving little relatives who are trying to help you work smarter, not harder.
The new moon, June 14, will fall in Gemini and light your twelfth house of memories, dreams, and habits - all things covered by your subconscious mind. This new moon will help you get to the root of a bad habit you've been trying to quit by addressing your motivations. Often we repeat patterns that we wish we would break but we don't know why we can't stop. This new moon will help you plumb your depths so that you can start fresh. If you feel you need a doctor, coach, friend, or relative to help you, ask - you'll get the help you need.
As you get to the end of the month, the Sun will move into Cancer, indicating that soon it will be your birthday. The Sun will give you lots of extra energy and a highly attractive sense of authority. Your health will begin to glow and you'll feel more optimistic about life - and you should! You are moving into a really positive phase, with each day brighter than the day before.
Romantically, single or attached, Venus will still be finishing up a visit to Cancer during the first four days of June, a lovely placement that won't happen again for a year. While Venus will help your love life, it will also be a good time to spiff up your appearance too to improve your "package." Once Mercury begins to retrograde on June 15 shopping won't be productive. Go at the start of June while your satisfaction factor afterward will remain high!
If you and someone special have been an "item" lately, at month's end it will be time to decide where you'd like the relationship to go next. On June 30, we will have a full moon that for you will light your relationship sector. This is nothing to be wary of, however, for on this full moon, you are likely to see highly usual, surprisingly happy developments within four days of this date.
If you were born on June 30 or within five days of this date, the effects of this full moon will be more evident and dramatic than it will be for your Cancer friends who are born on other dates.
Are you sad not to have a special someone in your life? You won't be pining for love for long! You may bond quite closely this month when you work late at the office - one coworker seems to have become quite smitten with you. This is likely to be someone you hadn't considered as a potential romantic interest but who will begin to attract your eye, especially when this person volunteers to help you get a project done. It would be hard not to have feelings for someone who has such impressive mastery over the material he or she is working on. Your boss may later send out a memo praising you and your coworker. If you both remain discreet, you'll have your cake and eat it, too!
Best date nights; June 7 - 8, 16 - 17, 21, 2 4- 26, 29 - 30

How woman judge men
Did He Dress Well for the Date?
"She's watching to see if you put some energy into your dress and grooming," says Aline Zoldbrod, Ph.D., a psychologist and sex therapist in Boston. "If you don't take the trouble to dress well for her now, she could see it as disrespectful."
Is He Depressed?
Does he stare at my breasts? Does he have any sense of humor? If you're a total loser, it pays for her to ascertain that on the first date, says Zoldbrod.
Is He Like My Ex?
Yes, we always pay for the last guy's sins. "What women want is often based on their past negative or positive experiences," says Kauffman. So when she talks about past boyfriends, heed well.
Is He Bitter About Past Relationships?
She needs full use of your closets. There's no room for baggage.
Can He Talk About Himself and Listen to Me?
She'll carry 80 percent of the conversation load. Just make sure your 20 percent is about something.
Is He Generous?
Women somehow see a correlation between leaving a 10 percent tip and having a propensity to drown kittens.
Does He Make Me Feel Understood and Appreciated?
If you can't succinctly state her values, her politics, and her ambitions, you're probably failing here. Ask more questions. Listen to the answers this time.
Is He Open to a Relationship but Not Needy?
Ace the other nine criteria here and your odds of appearing needy will edge toward nil.
Does He Keep Promises?
If you're not reliable, you're not viable, especially not for the ultimate goal of all this. . . .
Does He Have the Potential to be a Good Father?
"For long-term potential, she considers whether you have the values she wants in a man," says Jean Koehler, Ph.D., president of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. If she can't see tykes on your knee, she's wasting her time. How you interact with your own family can be a strong indicator here.

Gift ideas
10. Scrapbook
We bet there's a shoebox full of old photos of you two under her bed or a drawer full of concert tickets and cards that you've given her in the past. Maybe she even still has the napkin you first wrote your number on the night you met. She's been meaning to put all these things into a photo album, but probably hasn't gotten around to it yet. Buy a scrapbook and start to organize a book of memories for her. You can purchase the book, background paper, stickers and other supplies here. If you don't have the creativity to do it yourself, you could always send it to a professional scrapbooker to put it all together for you.
9. In-Spa-rational
Any woman loves to be pampered, and although your foot massages are incomparable, maybe you need a break from kneading her heels. Send her away to a day spa, where she can receive all-out treatment for relaxation and revitalization. The Spa Index guide to day spas and stay spas features a clickable map that you can use to locate the best day spa near you.
8. Babes in Toyland
If your lady is the nostalgic-type, this idea may score you some major brownie points. Better hope you're on speaking terms with your mother-in-law or else the plan will fail. Talk to your lady's mother to find out what her daughter's favorite toy or belonging was when she was a little girl. If you find out there was certain toy, like a vintage Barbie doll or Cabbage Patch Kid, do your best to track down the original. It may still hide in the attic. You can also search on Ebay for it (find one still in the original box), and surprise her with a blast from the blast.
7. Make it "Me" Day
Surprise her with a day dedicated to her. Get up early and take her shopping to pick out an outfit to wear for a night out on the town. Then drop her off at the salon to get her hair and nails (manicure and pedicure) done however she pleases. Foot the bill and watch her kiss your feet all month long.
6. Closet Case
Are her clothes so cramped together that her closet looks like the clearance rack at TJ Maxx? Here's a surefire way to make her feel like a princess. If the kids are finally out of the house, or you have an extra bedroom or bathroom that's hardly being used, think about turning that room into a custom closet for your woman. Whether you have three feet of space to spare or an entire room, this company lets you design your own storage for her specific needs.
5. Fly Away
You can never go wrong with planning a weekend getaway. There's something about staying in a hotel that sparks the adventuress in her. Whether you can only afford to drive in and stay in your nearest city, or you've saved up enough dough to fly her to Paris for baguettes, your lady will love the change of scenery. What are you waiting for? Search for cheap flights and hotels.
4. Jewel of the Smile
She deserves a one-of-a-kind work of art. Anyone can drive to the local jewelry store and pick out a necklace or ring, but you want to go the extra step and design a custom piece that suits her personality and style, and also fits in your price range. The Jewelry Experts can help you pick unique gemstones to couple with gold or silver contrasts to create a gorgeous heirloom that no woman other than she possesses.
Is she more interested in artwork? You can order her a custom painting. Choose a specific art theme, get a copy of a masterpiece, or send a family photo, and artists will reproduce the image in a painting. Each work is hand-painted using top quality oil paints. To receive a price quote, click on custom orders on the homepage and send an E-mail that describes your painting expectations.
3. A Stitch in Time
If your lady's anything like the average woman, odds are she's cold right now. Order her a handmade quilt to keep her snug on those cold February nights when you're not available for cuddle time. You can specify her favorite colors, or if you really want to make her cry, you can collect a bag of sentimental pieces of cloth (old baby clothes from your child's christening, birthdays, Holiday celebrations, and Halloween costumes) and find a quilter to sew a custom quilt that will last forever. She can hand it down to loved ones for decades.
2. Nookie Nights
If it's a wild night of lovin' you're after, you're going to need some props to set the sex scene. Avoid the embarrassment of walking into an adult store by shopping online. Toys in Babeland and Eden Fantasys offer everything under the sheets for all your kinky aspirations. May we suggest some massage oil and a G-spot vibrator. Add a Kama Sutra game and you're bound to turn your Valentine's Day upside down, backwards, and so forth...
1. Romantic Night In
For a more traditional Valentine's Day, plan a passionate itinerary. Search cookbooks or the Internet for recipes and cook a gourmet dinner together. Turn up the love songs and pop open a bottle of wine to sip while you whip up ingredients. Set the table with candles and feed each other bites of your delicious feast. Don't forget the dessert--anything rich and chocolaty will work up your sensual appetite! After dinner, draw a warm bubble bath, add fragrant rose petals, and light as many candles as possible (without burning down the bathroom). Then relax in the tub with your lady and let the rest of the night take its own course.

Valentine's day
Note: If u do well this year u have to do even better for the next...so always leave room for improvement.
1. You should never ask a woman, "What do you want for Valentine's day?" The best present is to show that you "get her," which means you don't have to ask.
2. If you listen to her, she'll throw you a few hints. Look out for comments like, "I really need a ___," "Her necklace is so beautiful," "When's the last time we spent the day together?", or "We've never been to that restaurant!" If she says anything like this, that means she wants it.
3. Avoid any stuffed animal holding a cheap, red heart-shaped box. The entire red and pink aisle at CVS and Brooks pharmacy should only be scouted by high school freshmen boys.
4. If she bugs you for a massage every night, book her one with a professional. Can't bear someone else's hands all over her? Pretend she's at a spa and you're the masseuse. Buy massage oil, set up a table, and rub her back until she tells you to stop. It'll be happy ending for all...
5. Valentine's Day is not all about material objects. In fact, the more material it is, the less impressed she'll be. An electric razor? She'll be more likely to let her legs go prickly in protest than use it. If you want to purchase something, stick to the jewelry and lingerie.
6. You can cook a nice dinner, light a few candles, and share a decadent dessert, and it'll be more meaningful and intimate than any high-priced restaurant reservation.
7. Pick up or order a pricier bottle. Life's too short to drink cheap wine.
8. Don't wait until the last minute to pick out flowers. All you'll get is the last dog-eared bouquet. Actually, forget the flowers. They're overpriced this time of year, and you should really only give them when you want to cheer her up or say, "I'm sorry." They're the most last-minute gift you can give.
9. ...Unless you use the flowers more creatively. For some reason, women get wound up seeing roses torn up in little pieces and covering the bed or floating in a warm bubble bath you've drawn for us.
10. In the beginning of a serious relationship, get her a baby-potted plant. Attach a note that says, "I hope our relationship grows." If she waters it, she wants to keep you. And if you end up marrying her, it'll be a great memory.
11. Write her a poem. Even if it sounds like one of Adam Sandler's ballads, nothing says love like, "Your butt looks so good in those jeans -- I promise next time, I'll lay off the beans."
12. If it's booked, don't panic. You want to take her on a Valentine's weekend getaway, but all the places you choose aren't available. Don't ditch the idea. Choose another weekend. We won't mind the wait -- as long as you tell us what's in store.
13. Don't leave all the nasty chocolates in the box you gave her.
14. Never sign a card with just "Love, Larry." We skim over all the commercially printed words on there to see if you've written a message from your heart. If words really can't express how you feel about us, then you better draw a picture.
