Astrology June 1-8: Avoid TMI During First Dates

Talking about our fears and insecurities is probably not the way most of us would choose to spend our time with that "special someone," yet that's exactly what we're being encouraged to do under the influence of communication planet Mercury's meeting with Chiron, a celestial body known as "the wounded healer," from June 1 to 8.

Of course it's not suggested that you bare your soul and let it all hang out when you go on your first date with that cute guy you just met, but that's just what you might feel compelled to do as these two planetary bodies meet in a tense 90-degree angle (called a "square" by astrologers).

There are creative ways to channel the desire to divulge your skeletons rattling in the closet, so do try remedial measures before the pressure builds to the point of no return. Journal writing, therapy and conversations with close friends can bridge the gap, though they may not heal the wound right away.

Of course, trying to hide a painful experience that is all too obvious is not the ticket either, so share your pain, just don't dwell on it. Acceptance can come as you acknowledge that you've been wounded but avoid jumping into victim mode.

This is a time to keep communications simple and straightforward, without too much information potentially complicating things. In other words, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything. You'll avoid conversational land mines and other areas of forbidden territory if you remember this and only speak when you really have something meaningful to say.
