Ian has carried a passion for the built environment much of his life. No matter the scale, Ian enjoys crafting the details of every space. He aims to use his skills in architecture and engineering to elevate our standards of living in the world for a much healthier future. Mindful of the impact architecture leaves on a community, Ian is committed to designing for those of today, tomorrow and many years to come.
You should know that… Ian converted a school bus into a tiny house and lived in it with his one hundred and fifty pound dog throughout his final year of graduate school.


When the cold weather hits, outdoor work like gardening can become even more challenging than it already is. The Cutter Goatskin Leather Original Thermal Gloves CW200 feature a thermal fleece lining to improve your grip and dexterity in tough conditions. Designed with padded palms, the gloves offer protection where you need it most for tasks like wood handling and planting.
The Cutter Original Thermal Gloves are available in four sizes to fit most hands. Please measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding your thumb) with your palm open and your fingers together. Next, measure the length of your hand from the tip of your middle finger to your wrist.


Having a problem with your passport sounds a classic summer holiday crisis. For once, the issue is not related to Brexit, but actually refers to something far more dangerous!
In 2005, the US Congress set NASA a task to identify 90% of near-Earth asteroids of 140 metres in size or larger by 2020. Asteroids of this size are known as 'problems without passports' because they are expected to affect whole regions, if they collide with the Earth. Scientists estimate it will take them another 30 years to fulfil the congressional directive.
Could it be a case of ignorance is bliss? Should we really worry?
Well, NASA has just announced that a huge fireball exploded in the Earth's atmosphere in December 2018. An asteroid exploded with 10 times the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. The blast was the second largest of its kind in 30 years and the biggest since the fireball over Chelyabinsk in Russia six years ago. NASA say a fireball this big is only expected about two or three times every 100 years.
Why are we learning about this only now? The fireball went largely unnoticed because it happened over the Bering Sea, off Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula. Imagine if this had happened over a densely populated city.
Meanwhile, PM Theresa May is also living on borrowed time. She should expect plenty of fireballs from Parliament given the latest delay to Brexit. With Brexit postponed until 31st October, at the 'latest', it has now officially become a horror show!
Another Brexit delay, US and EU trade friction, cautious messages from central banks as well as a warning about the global economy from the IMF, yet global markets seemed to take all this news in their stride.
The IMF described the global economy at a 'delicate point' and nudged its growth forecasts down slightly to 3.3% for 2019 and 3.6% for 2020. Risks include trade tariffs, particularly on cars where President Trump is considering possible action against European manufacturers. The US is expected to slow further in 2020, with projected growth of slightly less than 2%. The biggest downgrades were in the EU, specifically Germany and Italy.
US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin told CNBC that the US and China have pretty much agreed on an enforcement mechanism to enable a potential trade deal between them. However, just as markets are looking forward to the US and China settling their trade dispute, there was a renewed outbreak of hostilities between the US and EU over Boeing and Airbus. The US is considering imposing tariffs on $11bn of goods from the EU, although this time seems to be sticking to World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules. The WTO has previously suggested that four European governments have failed to withdraw contested subsidies on large civil aircraft. The US is keen for the WTO arbitrator to make a final ruling on this, no doubt mindful that Boeing is likely to lose market share to Airbus over the Ethiopian 737 Max crash. Potential EU goods under threat from US tariffs include salmon, cheese, cashmere clothing, helicopters and undercarriages for aircraft.
EU leaders have granted the UK a six-month extension to Brexit with a new deadline of 31st October, so avoiding the UK crashing out on 12th April. The UK will be able to leave sooner if MPs vote in favour of the current Withdrawal Agreement, otherwise the UK must hold European elections in May, or leave on 1st June without a deal. PM Theresa May has defied Conservative Brexiteers by pledging to stay on during the first phase of new talks with Brussels. Sterling remained in 'holding pattern' at just under $1.31.
In the UK, retail sales for March were slightly distorted by the timing of Easter but revealed weaker spending by consumers on big ticket items. However, economic activity is holding up surprisingly well, despite Brexit. The mild weather in February helped the Construction sector and the UK economy grew by 0.2% in the month.
In Europe, Germany's trade data for February revealed weaker than expected exports and imports illustrating the challenges facing the Eurozone economy. Mario Draghi, President of the European Central Bank (ECB) seemed even more concerned about the Eurozone growth outlook than at his last press conference and said the ECB will consider if the effect of negative interest rates upon the banking sector will need to be mitigated.
In the US, factory orders in February remained sluggish. The Federal Reserve (Fed) published the minutes of its March meeting which revealed 'significant uncertainties surrounding the economic outlook' and signalling that it would be 'patient' in assessing whether signs of weak growth in the first quarter would persist. Some Fed members thought it might be appropriate to modestly increase interest rates later this year, but the majority thought the outlook warranted leaving rates unchanged.
Brent oil edged up to $71 with some attention focused on military activity in Libya.
Finally, Debenhams went into pre-pack administration last week, yet another high street victim of the shift to online consumer buying, too much inherited private equity debt and Brexit uncertainty. It floated on the Stock Market in 2006 with a value of £1.7bn!

DrakeWatch: Drizzy and JLo Cuddling on Instagram..Can We Say They're Dating Now?
Instagram: @Jlo
Jlo needs to get back on that 6 Train and who better than the 6 God?
Early Wednesday morning, both Drizzy and JLo took to the 'gram to post the same photo of them cuddling and it appears this is the new couple confirming they are indeed dating.
I really hope these two are a couple because they're two of my faves.
It all makes sense.....Jenny is fresh over her break from Caspar Smart and Drake just needs to get over Rih Rih...even though I liked them together too.
Apparently, Rihanna has unfollowed Lopez on Instagram...I wonder if this was the cause.
Just a few weeks prior, Jenny from the Bronx also took to the 'gram to for a selfie with her and the Summer 16 rapper after he showed up for back to back shows of at her All I Have Vegas residency.
Look who rolled up to my show tonight to say hi!! @champagnepapi #lovehim #jlovegas #ALLIHAVE
A photo posted by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) on Dec 11, 2016 at 2:30am PST
The 30 year old rapper and the 47 year old baddie apparently were seen leaving West Hollywood hotspot Delilah together earlier this month as well after an "intimate" dinner reports E! .
The Shaderoom, also posted this video online of the duo taking part in a "trust fall" which...they fail.
#PressPlay #Jlo look shook 😂 If this was the trust test it looks like #Drake was about to hit the floor 😂
2016 has been a big year for Drake, just the other day news broke that he had tied his mentor, Lil Wayne, for most entries on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Now he's dating one of the hottest chicks in the game!?
I guess we'll have to wait and see what these two are up to..but in the meantime I'm enjoying the pics!
Get it JLO!

Stars Express Their Condolences After the Death of George Michael
Instagram: @georgemofficial
Damn, 2016!
We had only a week left of the year that took so many legends away from us and it took another.
While many of us were listening to Wham!'s Last Christmas on Christmas Day, 53 year old George Michael was found dead at his home in Goring in Oxfordshire, England.
The New York Times reported, "A police statement said: 'Thames Valley Police were called to a property in Goring-on-Thames shortly before 2 p.m. Christmas Day. Sadly, a 53-year-old man was confirmed deceased at the scene. At this stage the death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious. 'Mr. Michael's manager, Michael Lippman, told The Hollywood Reporter that Mr. Michael had died of heart failure 'in bed, lying peacefully.' "
Michael's current partner Fadi Fawaz tweeted that he found the singer dead in his bed.
ITs a xmas i will never forget finding your partner dead peacefully in bed first thing in the morning.. I will never stop missing you xx
— Fadi Fawaz (@fadifawaz) December 26, 2016
"It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period," his publicist Connie Filippello said in a statement. "The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and emotional time. There will be no further comment at this stage."
Michael rose to fame as a teenybopper idol as a part of the group Wham! and his face was plastered in every 80's teen's bedroom aka DJ Tanner. With a series of hits like Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go, and Freedom. He became a solo artist where he turned to more serious songs and was commended for his vocals, He sold over 100 million albums globally, earned numerous Grammy and American Music Awards, and recorded duets with legends like Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Luciano Pavarotti and Elton John.
According to the Associated Press:
Throughout Michael's career "his drug use and taste for risky sex brought him into frequent brushes with the law, most famously in 1998 when he was arrested for public lewdness in Los Angeles. Yet, he managed to turn the incident into fodder for a popular song that poked fun at his behavior, and his acknowledgment of his homosexuality at that time made him even more popular with his fans.
Michael, with startling good looks and an easy stage manner, formed the boy band WHAM! with his school friend Andrew Ridgeley in the early 1980s. Helped by MTV, which was an emerging music industry force at the time, the cheerful duo easily crossed the Atlantic to become popular in the United States with Michael, as lead singer, usually the focal point.
He started his solo career shortly before WHAM! split, with the release of the megahit single "Careless Whisper," making a seamless transition. Critics generally viewed his WHAM! songs as catchy but disposable pop and gave his solo efforts far higher marks.
His first solo album, 1987's "Faith," sold more 20 million copies, and he enjoyed several hit singles including the raunchy "I Want Your Sex," which was helped immeasurably by a provocative video that received wide air play on MTV.
The song was controversial not only because of its explicit nature, but also because it was seen as encouraging casual sex and promiscuity at a time when the AIDS epidemic was deepening. Michael and his management tried to tamp down this point of view by having the singer write "Explore Monogamy" on the leg and back of a model in the video.
At the time, Michael had not disclosed his homosexuality, and much of his chart success was based on his sex appeal to young women. His look was raw and provocative, with tight jeans, tight T-shirts, black leather jackets and designer stubble, and his videos pushed the accepted limits with many lingerie-clad models vying for Michael's attentions on screen.
But Michael's situation changed abruptly in 1998 when he was arrested for lewd conduct in a public toilet in Los Angeles after being spotted by a male undercover police officer.
The arrest received international media attention, and seemed for a brief time to jeopardize Michael's stature as a top recording artist.
But instead of making excuses for his behavior, he went on to release a single and video, "Outside," that made light of the charges against him and mocked the Los Angeles police who had arrested him.
Like all of his efforts at the time, it sold in prodigious numbers, helping him put the incident behind him. The arrest also prompted him to speak openly about his sexual orientation.
These years represented the height of Michael's commercial success, which at times was marred by a protracted legal dispute with his record company Sony.
He remained a strong musical force throughout his career, releasing dozens of records and touring to adoring crowds despite a growing number of run-ins with police, many of them stemming from a series of driving-under-the-influence-of-drugs incidents, including several crashes.
Michael was an admitted user of marijuana and prescription sedatives and several times was found slumped over his car's steering wheel after using both at the same time.
His driver's license was finally revoked for five years in 2010 after Michael drove his Land Rover into the side of a Snappy Snap photo shop with so much force that his vehicle dented the wall.
A passer-by remembering Michael's early career wrote the word WHAM on the spot his SUV had hit.
He was also arrested a second time in public toilets -- this time in North London in 2008 for drug use, an incident that prompted him to apologize to his fans and promise to get his life in order.
He also offered an apology to "everybody else, just for boring them."
A year earlier, he had told a television interviewer that his problems stemmed from a self-destructive streak and his attention-seeking nature.
He said at a press conference in 2011 that he felt he had let young people down with his misbehavior and had made it easier for others to denigrate homosexuals.
Despite these personal setbacks, Michael's musical performances remained strong even as his material moved farther from the teen tunes that first brought him to stardom.
The Telegraph newspaper in 2011 described a London concert appearance as an impressive event, calling his voice, "A rich, soulful instrument, it's capable of serious emotional heft, expertly matching the confessional tone of his own material."
Michael, with strong Greek-Cypriot roots, was born Georgios Panayiotou in England. He and schoolmate Ridgeley formed a ska band called the Executive when they were just 16 before moving on to form WHAM!
"I wanted to be loved," said Michael of his start in the music field. "It was an ego satisfaction thing."
Michael was active in a number of charities and helped raise money to combat AIDS, help needy children, and support gay rights. He had a long-term relationship with Kenny Goss, but announced onstage in August 2011 that the two had broken up.
Many stars and close friends of the singer took to social media to express their condolences.
Mariah Carey took to her website to honor Michael, where she says, "George was not only a great musician, he was an active ambassador in the LBGTQ community, pushing for greater understanding, acceptance, and love for all people. He touched so many lives and inspired us all.
"One More Try" on Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse is a tribute to his influence, in many ways."
George Michael, you were such an inspiration to me and I am honored to have not only been your fan, but a friend as well. May you rest in peace. 😢❤

Kanye aka Blondeye West and Donald Trump Hang Out at Trump Tower
Just a month after professing his support for President-Elect Donald Trump, blonde Kanye aka Blondye and the Donald hung out and talked about life at the Trump tower in NYC on Tuesday morning. He arrived around 9am.
"We've been friends for a long time," Donald Trump says as he stands next to Kanye West. https://t.co/pgnHGJru9p
— CNN Newsroom (@CNNnewsroom) December 13, 2016
According to the Associated Press, "West stood silently next to the president-elect for photos in the lobby of Trump Tower after their meeting. Asked why he wasn't speaking, West said, 'I just want to take a picture right now.'"
Trump called Yeezy a "good man" and "just a friend".
Why do they sound like lovers?
I'm not sure what this meeting means, but Kris Jenner's boy toy was there...to babysit? I don't know. Could Trump offer 'Ye a job? Secretary of the Interior? He may think that's a design job. LOL.
Could he be performing at the inauguration? Trump has been having trouble booking an artist.
Let's not forget Kanye's wife Kim, publicly declared her support for Hillary a few months back.

Mick Jagger Welcomes Baby Number 8
Remember in Father of the Bride Pt. 2, where Steve Martin's character George Banks was freaking out about being an older dad?
Well, little did he know 20+ years after freaking out about that....it would become the norm.
Rolling Stone Mick Jagger has just become a daddy for the eighth time at 73 years old.
Yes, eighth!
Jagger and his 29-year-old girlfriend, American ballerina Melanie Hamrick, welcomed a baby boy Thursday in NYC. Hamrick and Jagger started dating in 2014.
In 2014, Jagger became a great-grandfather when his then 21-year-old granddaughter, Assisi Jackson gave birth to a baby girl.
Jagger now has children ranging from 45-just days old. He's only been married once, to Bianca Jagger, with whom he had daughter Jade. Jagger has seven children with four women.Jagger is following suit with bandmate Ronnie Wood, who back in May welcomed twins at 68 years old with 38 year old wife, Sally Humphreys.

Kim Kardashian Allegedly Wants Out of Marriage with Kanye
Instagram: +Kim Kardashian
Whoa whoa whoa!
I thought these two were perfect for eachother!
According to US Weekly, Kim Kardashian West wants out of her marriage with husband of 2 1/2 years, Kanye West.
According to the article a friend to the couple says Kim is planning the next steps to take to make this happen." 'It will take some time before she can do anything' claims the friend, alleging that she's trying to build a case for full custody of kids North, 3, and Saint, 12 months, 'but she doesn't want to stay married.' "
The magazine reports that, ever since Yeezy was discharged from UCLA Medical Center's Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital after his 9 day stay, "West has been receiving outpatient treatment at an L.A.-area rental." Meanwhile, Kim is at their Bel Air home with the kids.
The family was together on December 5th for a low-key 1st birthday for baby Saint.
According to the article and other reports, Kim has had it with Kanye for a while. Things definitely came to a head after being robbed in Paris in October. She was usually Kanye's rock, but she was so emotionally traumatized, she couldn't....and Ye couldn't be to her, what she was to him.
Add that to also closing in on the 9 year anniversary of his mom, Donda's, death anniversary.....Kanye was just not in his right state of mind.
Here's hoping this couple works it out!

Here we go with another retrograde! This is the last personal planet retrograde for a few months, so we've just got to make it through this and then we can breathe a sigh of relief! First we had Mars to start the year, then another Mercury, then Venus, and now Mercury. Just a little while longer!
The shadow of this Mercury retrograde begins June 26th and ends August 21st, lasting eight weeks. The first storm period will be from July 5th - 25th, and the second will be from July 31st - August 14th. The exact retrograde begins July 14th at 10:16PM ET and ends August 8th at 1:40AM ET.
Mercury continues his retrogrades in the fire signs, with just one more in Sagittarius in November. He turns retrograde at 12 degrees Leo, right in the middle of the sign, and the retrograde will occur entirely in Leo. Can anyone say drama queen? You think people throw temper tantrums now, just wait until this retrograde starts. We're pulling drama out of thin air and making an Everest out of a molehill. Everything we say, we say with flair, and everything we think, we think with flair. But because it's Mercury retrograde, that flair is in all the wrong moments and gets completely misunderstood or goes berserk.
Leo rules actors/acting, so watch for problems in Hollywood (as if that place is ever problem-free). Scandals, perhaps? Leo also rules children, so kids collectively are going to be more temperamental, especially in groups. Since Leo is naturally ruled by the Sun, and the Sun rules our physical bodies and vitality/strength, that might be on the lower end during this retrograde. The Sun also rules men, so this may be a period that's better for women than men (or maybe has something come out that's not such good news for males).
The only saving grace of this retrograde is the fact that Mercury won't be making any difficult aspects during it. Hallelujah! In fact, he'll be sextile Venus when he turns retrograde, so hopefully, the effects won't be so horribly unpleasant. Or, we'll be stuffing our faces with junk food over all of the drama and that makes it feel less unpleasant.
Mercury turns direct at 1 degree of Leo, so those July-born, early-sign Leos (say July 22nd - 26th) may have the most trouble around the direct. August 2nd - 7th Leos may have the most difficulty with the turn retrograde at 12 degrees.
Now come on people, we're almost through it!
July 2012 Full & New Moons: Full Moon in Capricorn & New Moon in Cancer
A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are exactly opposing one another in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of endings, culminations, and things coming to fruition. A new moon occurs when when the transit Sun and Moon are in the exact same spot in the zodiac. It tends to signal a time of new opportunities, growth, and optimism.
For information on how the new/full moons/eclipses may impact your sign, read the monthly horoscope.
July 3rd 2012 Full Moon in Capricorn
A full moon occurs at 2:52PM ET at 12 degrees 13 minutes of Capricorn. In Capricorn, we may see a lot of people having issues resolved at work, getting recognition for their work, or having long-term goals realized. This Moon is one where you really reap what you sow. Our moods overall may seem more somber and serious, and we're more sensitive. You may see more people prone to emotional public displays and outbursts. There may be a lot of talk about achievement, and what it means to achieve your goals or how to achieve your goals. There could also be a focus on older people, mentors, parents, the skin, bones, or nails. To use this Moon constructively, try to finish a goal of your own. If it's something you've been working at for a long time or have wanted to do for a long time, even better. If you're a Capricorn Sun, Moon, or mid-Capricorn rising, you may feel the effects of this moon most.
A new moon occurs at 12:24AM ET at 26 degree 54 minutes of Cancer. In Cancer, we feel like being at home and with loved ones more. Focus may be put on housing or real estate (maybe some good news in that sector, although Mercury is retrograde at the same time, so caution needs to be exercised, and perhaps that good news is found out later to not be as good as we thought) or on family values and dynamics. Spend some time with your loved ones, whoever they may be. Be nurturing to another person and connect emotionally. Our emotions are more heightened during this time, but not in a negative way. Cancer is the natural ruler of the Moon, so she's at home here, and our emotions are more like what they should be. This is also a good time analyze our spiritual foundation and figure out if it's as strong as we've thought it to be. If you're a Cancer Sun, Moon, or late Cancer rising, you may feels the effects of this moon most.
Mercury enters Cancer on June 7th, and your communications may be centered around your home and what you need to do to it. Thinking about the projects you need to get done can be what's on your mind most. You could talk a lot with family members, having an important conversation with one of them. You may think better at home than anywhere else. On the 25th, Mercury moves into fellow fire sign Leo, and your mind becomes a little lighter and focused on having fun. You don't want to feel bogged down, and may spend time being creative or pursuing a new hobby. If you have children, you could converse easier with them. If single, you could meet someone through a neighbor, sibling, or online. The Sun enters Cancer June 20th, and you may feel most comfortable and like yourself when you're at home or with loved ones.
Venus turns direct on June 27th after being retrograde since May 15th in the sign of Gemini. With this Venus retrograde, you likely have been and may continue to feel it's difficult for you to communicate clearly without starting a fight. Maybe it's been hard for you to clear your head enough that you can communicate what you really think. Aries has a reputation for impulsive speech, and you may find that speech rubs people the wrong way. If you have a sibling, you may have less patience for dealing with them, and if they have an issue, you don't want to help. You could have a dispute with a neighbor or problem within your community. On June 11th, Jupiter will enter a new sign, Gemini, so once we're done with Venus, you can have an easier time communicating, knowing all the right words to say. Your mind may be more active, and you feel more curious and have a more optimistic mentality. This could be a good year for pursuing mental endeavors, taking short trips, buying new technology, ending sibling rivalry, or doing work in your community.
A lunar eclipse in Sagittarius takes place June 4th. You could end a long-term project or class, or decide something you've been learning isn't for you any longer. If you've been spending time in a foreign place, you could come home. If you have to deal with the law, that could be resolved. Make sure you don't break the law - you probably won't get away with it with this eclipse. And watch for anyone trying to come after you legally. You'll be more likely to feel emotionally tied to your beliefs, and fight for what you believe. Remember that eclipse effects can last up to six months. On June 19th, there'll be a new moon in Gemini. You may see an opportunity to do something in your neighborhood, through/with a neighbor, or through/with a sibling. You could come up with a new idea and feel more mentally active. Taking short trips could be more frequent, and you could become interested in something new.
On June 7th, Mercury enters Cancer, and you could see a surge in communications overall. The volume of communications increases, and you may get more emails, texts, phone calls, or mail than usual. People want your opinions, or they want to share something with you, and all the new news is coming straight to you. Your mind could be more active and you process things with more logic and reason. Mercury leaves Cancer and enters Leo on June 25th, and your mind may slow down some in general, except at home. You could find that you do your best thinking at home or with loved ones, getting their input. You may also spend some time dwelling on your spiritual foundation and come up with a plan to strengthen it. The Sun enters Cancer on June 20th, and you could feel most like yourself when you're intellectually engaged, learning something new, and find it easier to communicate accurately. You could find a sibling, neighbor, or your community in the spotlight.
Taurus, your ruler is the lovely planet Venus, and she's been retrograde since May 15th in the sign just after yours, Gemini. That retrograde continues through most of June, when she turns direct on June 27th. With this Venus retrograde, you've probably been experiencing problems regarding your finances, your security, and your values, and that continues in June. Make sure you're being careful with your finances, and don't be tempted to splurge unnecessarily, especially in an attempt to make yourself feel better. And you may overindulge more, so be sure to exercise more! In June, we also see a change with Jupiter who leaves your sign of Taurus and enters Gemini on June 11th. With Jupiter here, this could be a good year to make more money than before. You may be presented with new money-making opportunities, or find a way to manage your finances smarter so you feel you have more. You may feel better about yourself and have more confidence. Just don't get lazy and not use this influence, otherwise you won't see much of the positive benefits.
On June 4th, a lunar eclipse in Sagittarius occurs. You may feel more serious with this eclipse, and focus on serious subjects.

It might be a change that's hard for you to deal with, but one that needs to be made. Face the demons.

Your self-esteem may seem higher, and you feel better about yourself.
Happy birthday to June-born Geminis! Mercury enters Cancer on June 7th, and it could be a good time to sit down and plan a budget or manage your finances. Your head can be clearer about how to handle money in an objective way, and you can be less prone to financial indulgences. Consulting an accountant or financial planner might make your to-do list. If you want to purchase an electronic, that could happen during this transit. Mercury moves into Leo on June 25th, and you become a super Gemini! No one will get a word in edgewise in conversations with you, your mind is in overdrive, and you bounce from one thing to the next at record speed. Just make sure to slow down and take a breath or drink of water! On June 20th, the Sun enters Cancer, and you may focus on your value system. What it is you value most in life, what your beliefs are, and what makes you feel safe and secure in the world get your attention.

You could quit your job or lose your job, or see some sort of change to your work environment (move to a new cubicle/office/building, new employees, new boss, new computers, etc.).

Mercury enters the sign before yours, Cancer, on June 7th. You may feel more inclined to hide your thoughts and ideas, keeping your views to yourself.

Leos aren't known for being quiet, but you could seem that way because you don't feel like sharing. The Sun enters Cancer as well this month, on June 20th, which adds to you keeping to the shadows. You may not want any focus put on you, which is shocking for a Leo, but you'd rather keep to yourself and away from people. Mercury enters your sign of Leo on the 25th, so your super-introversion may only last a short while, and you become a chatterbox. Everything you kept inside of you, you let out now. People are probably going to hear what you have to say whether they want to hear it or not.

On June 7th, Mercury enters watery Cancer, and you could find that you communicate best in groups or with your friends. You may spend a lot of time conversing with friends, all of them having something important to talk to you about. It may be easier for you to lay out your thoughts and ideas with multiple people at once, and you could be more involved in a group you belong to. That's especially true when the Sun enters Cancer as well, on June 20th, and you feel most like yourself when you're with your friends, being socially engaged, or doing work for a group or charity. You may seem more idealistic as well, something that's not very common for a Virgo. Your ruler, Mercury, moves into Leo on June 25th, and you don't feel much like sharing at that point. You may need to spend more time alone to recharge your mind and feel like others are mentally draining. You could focus on a subconscious issue and figure out what you need to do to work it out.

On June 19th, a new moon occurs in Gemini, and you may get the opportunity to pursue something new in your career or advance your ambitions.

Maybe one comes to fruition during this time, or you decide to make a new goal for yourself. You may also get recognition for something you do.

For Libra, you've likely been butting heads with those who don't believe the same things you do, thinking they're incredibly stupid and doing what you can to convince others you're right. Normally Libra tries to show some tact and be neutral, but you might find that hard to do during this time. If you're taking a class, you may have no passion for it and have difficulty focusing, and you may need to redo work. If you take a trip, there may be problems, or all the people you encounter are rude and ridiculous. Overall, you could just feel like you're out of sorts and have a hazy feeling. Jupiter moves into Gemini on June 11th, and after your ruler is done with her retrograde, this could be a great year for you to do some traveling (especially to a foreign place), meet people who live in an entirely different way than you do, study something new, do some writing (or get published), and just expand your mind overall. You may feel more buoyant and optimistic than usual as well this year. I'll also note that Saturn has been retrograde in your sign, Libra, and will turn direct on June 25th.

This is a great period to explore your sexuality, and find the passion that you want in a partner, and you may find more people are attracted to you as you give off a magnetic quality.
