*JUNE forecast*

It has finally arrived, a peaceful month for Tigers. June will hold a few surprises and offer some positive changes. But these ups and downs will be mild in comparison to those you have recently been through. April was all change and chaos and May was simply frustrating. By comparison, June will be as warm and pleasant as the best kind of summer's day ... not too hot, not too cloudy, just right. Last month life was a battle against red tape and human stupidity at its worst. In June, you will finally start seeing sanity return to your little corner of reality. Instead of wanting to roar in fury you will find yourself purring contentedly. Be prepared to be pleasantly surprised in ways you least expect.

You are going to be bumping into an old lover. Someone you haven't seen in years or even decades. It might be that first-kiss person you never forgot or the luscious dream girl you took to the prom. In any case, it is someone you could never quite forget... and never quite got over. There were always a few wistful "what if" thoughts tucked away in your heart when you walked out of this person's life. Now, this June, you are going to turn a corner, enter a shopping mall or visit an old neighborhood and walk right smack into your past.

Do remember that I said you should be prepared to be pleasantly surprised in ways you least expect. This meeting will be what you least expect and you will walk away smiling. You may not be given a chance to rekindle an old fire, but under the right circumstances that could happen. My hunch is that you may just use this meeting to finally let go of an outgrown fantasy. Could be your dream girl now has five kids and almost as many chins. Or perhaps she is as beautiful as in your dreams. But when she starts talking, your brain starts to melt. That gorgeous football hero Romeo from your past might now be wearing a gold lame suit and smell like fish. Or perhaps he is as wonderful to look at as he ever was, but all he can talk about is how much it cost him to have liposuction on his "abs". At first you will be shocked at how much he or she has changed, but slowly an even more amazing thought will begin to take shape in your mind.

They haven't changed - you have. You no longer would fit this person from your youth because you have moved on. In fact when you are finally back home alone, sipping your favorite drink on your patio, you will find yourself realizing that she always was a little boring or that the real reason you walked away had to do with his incredible vanity. Sitting there, surrounded by the comfy life you have created for yourself today, all those wistful little "what if" wishes will vanish forever. You will feel incredible relief.

Celebrating your good fortune will be a recurring theme in June. There is also a suggestion of Lady Luck holding out a long-awaited repayment of some kind. It could be that insurance claim you had almost given up on. After all those fights in May over your holiday home wood rot or rising damp problem being described as an "Act of God", this June the insurance company will suddenly change its mind. You will have given up all hope of ever hearing from them again. And out of the blue there will be a letter or a phone call. They have decided (by some miracle) you are entitled to some form of compensation. Or the repayment might be closer to home as in a family member finally repaying you that money you lent him or her so far back you both cannot remember when. Something owed you will be refunded in June. Enjoy it.

Since your bank balance is healthy, and you actually managed to sell that holiday home to a land developer at a profit, I'd say you could consider using this money for some little treat. What about redecorating your home? With some careful planning and shrewd buying you can stretch this windfall to whatever your daydreams have been toying with. There are always clever ways to make cheap look chic with some imagination and a good set of decorating magazines to steal ideas from. Check out the bargain shops that sell copies of designer items. Those crazy cushions selling for a small fortune in one shop can be almost matched by copies from the shop downtown at a tenth of the price. Throw in a few little extra touches to enhance your color scheme and voila! You have a newly decorated pad. That divine divan on page seven? It's really just an old couch with the legs sawn off and a lush mohair throw flung over it. Use your imagination and have fun. In fact, have a party. Invite all your nearest and dearest to a painting party. Tell them to wear something old and that you'll provide the music and tasty snacks. Just keep the alcoholic beverages till after the walls are painted. Don't forget to cover the furniture and remove the breakables before the "guests' arrive.

The final turn of good fortune in June hints at new life. Have you been hoping for a pregnancy for yourself or someone close to you? Have you have been considering adoption? If yes, then this is the month to stop dithering and finally decide if it's yes or no. From July 4th till the 29th, Mercury will be retrograde and during that time decisions - even the best ones - can lead to disappointment. So make your big new life choices in June. Who knows? Maybe your next painting party will be decking the back room out in pastels with teddy bear and bunny motifs.
