ROBIN ARMSTRONG’S ZODIAC PREDICTIONS FOR JUNE 2012:

ARIES: MAR. 21 to APR. 20:

Take your time! Hurry up! You will accomplish more with charm than you will with words or force. As long as you don’t try to explain or share your ideas with others you will avoid the main pitfalls. Be careful about how much your freedoms make demands on the energies of others. Avoid direct confrontations with anyone in authority!

The Full Moon eclipse of June 4^th will be a positive one. Trust your instincts and go with the flow.  The New Moon of June 19^th will be positive and the most sensitive lunation of the year for Geminis. Try to get a little time to be alone.

Special Focus:

If you were born between Apr. 11^th and 14th you will feel that the world is resting onyour shoulders. You will feel restricted and even somewhat depressed. You will be tempted to walk away from the hassles, but you actually have too much to lose. You need to bide your time. Put up with the limitations around you and look for small ways to add new skills to your life. Be patient! This will pass!

 

TAURUS: APR. 20: to MAY 21

Steady progress and easy action will be the lot of most Taureans this month. Clarity will return and complications will lessen. Keeping physically active will be the key to success.

The way ahead and the space around can now be seen for what it is. Unreliable people will be seen for what they are and will move away. Take a deep breath and relax!

 

GEMINI: MAY 21 to JUNE 21:

This will be a month filled with much charm and even more indulgence. You will be pumped up and quick to enjoy whatever comes your way. The undercurrent to all of this will surface whenever your enjoyments will be interfered with. This will show as a rather rowdy or argumentative temperament. Don’t complain! Let it go!

The Full Moon eclipse of June 4^th will bring contradictory energies to the surface for Geminis. A sarcastic impatience is likely to be the result. Don’t argue!. The New Moon of June 19 will be another sensitive and impressionable new moon one for Geminis. You will feel more unstable and would be wise to maintain a low profile.

Special Focus:

Those Geminis born between May 27^th and June 7^th will be especially charming this month. You will attract what you want. Taste and style will be accentuated. You will also find sudden minor disruptions to your indulgences. Don’t make a big deal about this disruptions, or you will spoil the very things that you like.

 

CANCER: JUNE 21 to JULY 23:

What if it should fail? What if it should fail? A little worry can make things more secure, but too much worry will cause further losses. This is a month when action will speak louder than words. Keep active and work to improve things. Worry about it and it will never get done. Take care of the little things and the big things will take care of themselves.

The Full Moon eclipse of June 4^th will be a relatively uneventful one. No big ups or downs. The New Moon of June 19 will also be a relatively calm one. Don’t explain. Just keep busy doing your own thing.

Special Focus:

Those of you born between July 11^th and July 13^th will feel as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders. There will be delays and a sense of inertia making you worry. The challenge here is to redefine your goals. One step back and five steps forward. Reassess your priorities. There is a need to make adjustments. There is only so much you can do. Effort towards a new direction will bring progress.

 

LEO: JULY 23 to AUG. 23:

This will be a month of spontaneous initiative for most Leos. Your ideas will meet with appreciation. Your choices will be very good ones. The pressures of responsibility will be easily handled. Relax and enjoy yourself, and enjoy the people around you. A little bit of effort will go a long way.

Special Focus:

If you were born between July 23^rd and 28^th then there will be many opportunities for advancement or gain presenting themselves to you. The challenge will be to select properly. If something is not right or it disadvantages someone else, then leave it alone. If it helps others and hurts no one, pick it up quickly.

 

VIRGO: AUG. 23 to SEP. 23:

June will be the last month when the Force will be with you. Don’t squander it. Your initiatives will accomplish a lot. Anything you still have to do, try to get it done this month. Don’t let your energy get dissipated by choosing too much. You are better off cutting back on indulgence and driving hard for another month.

The Full Moon eclipse of June 4^th will be a stressful lunation for most Virgos. You will be pulled out in too many directions. Slow down. Drive carefully. The New Moon of June 19 will also be a stressful one for Virgos. Poor choices and hasty decisions could cost you. Be patient. Don’t push the river!

Special Focus:

If you were born between Sept. 1^st and 11^th then you will be sidetracked by personal preferences. You will be prone to making sudden purchases which are probably not in your best interest. A fool and his money will soon be parted! Let your mind concentrate on what you have to do rather than what you want to get!

 

LIBRA: SEPT. 23 to OCT. 23:

Life for Librans will be filled with contradictory priorities this month. There will be a spontaneous tendency to enjoy the moment. On the other hand there will be increasing worries about stability and future direction. Take care of the serious problems, and enjoy the little things. Do not try to communicate your worries to others.

The Full Moon eclipse of June 4^th will be a positive one. A little restraint will have a magical effect. The New Moon of June 19 will also be a positive one for Librans. Independent initiatives will work in your favour.

Define your goals. Discipline your activities to better activate your goals. There is no room for indecision here. You need a game plan!

 

SCORPIO: OCT. 23 to NOV. 22:

Misunderstandings will start to fade away. Your perception of people and things is getting clearer and you are less likely to exaggerate. A new wave of positive energy is approaching. This month communications will be highlighted. This will be an excellent month for self expression. When you talk, others will listen.

The Full Moon eclipse of June 4^th will be relatively uneventful for most Scorpios. Don’t be in a hurry to give away your best ideas. Enjoy what others have to say. The New Moon of June 19 will also be a relatively uneventful one. Expressions of sympathy will be appreciated.

Special Focus:

If you were born between Nov. 15^th and 18^th a deep feeling of uncertainty will prevail. You will be challenged to accentuate the positive. Negative expressions will cause further alienation, while sympathetic and supportive expression will be deeply appreciated. If you don’t have something good to say then don’t say. If an opportunity arises for you to give a compliment then do not hesitate.

 

SAGITTARIUS: NOV. 22 to DEC. 22:

This will be a very active month for Sagittarians. There will be many changes, but in matters of taste there will be challenges. You will not be able to please everyone, so prioritize your wish list. Protect the most import choices and be prepared to compromise on the others. Try not to argue over matters of taste.

The Full Moon eclipse of June 4^th will be a stressful one for Sagittarians. Your instincts will be off and your timing will suffer. Slow down! The New Moon of June 19 will also be a stressful one. Do  not act on gossip or hearsay, until it is confirmed. Even then a minimal reaction is advisable.

Special Focus:

If your birthday falls between Dec 6 and 20 then your patience will be tested this month. You will be trying to accomplish too much, too fast. You need to take a deep breath and slow down a little. Or at least become more efficient. Less talk more action! To dissipate adversity would be much wiser than to confront it.

 

CAPRICORN: DEC. 22 to JAN. 20:

Follow the energy and not the words. Don’t be distracted. Maintain efficiency. If you try to explain you will lose energy and invoke stupid reactions. If something has to be done, just do it! Don’t expect others to improve your circumstances. Avoid following the trivial pursuits of others. Stay on track!

The Full Moon eclipse of June 4^th will be a relatively uneventful one. Don’t get distracted by the conversation of others. The New Moon of June 19 will be a relatively uneventful one for Capricorns. Do not contend! Avoid loud and aggressive people!

If someone lets you down, let go! Don’t look back. Maintain your personal discipline. Try to minimize vulnerabilities. Keep busy!

 

AQUARIUS: JAN. 20 to FEB. 19:

June will be a positive month for Aquarians. Communications will be highlighted. You will be very talkative and friendly. Laugh and enjoy yourself. Good will, will remove obstacles. Give people the benefit of the doubt and be prepared to laugh at silly little things. This is the time for social niceties rather than serious strategies.

The Full Moon eclipse of June 4^th will be a positive one. Trust your instincts. Smell the roses! The New Moon of June 19 will also be a positive one. A little appreciation for the ideas of others will open doorways and attract new friends.

Special Focus:

If your birthday falls between Feb 9^th and 12^th you will benefit from following a time plan this month. It will be easy for you to get distracted and go off track. The challenge will be to get the chores done quickly at the beginning of each day, so that there will be more time for playing as the day goes on.

 

PISCES: FEB. 19 to MAR. 20:

This will be a month of hard work and muscle power. If you start to complain, you will only make matters worse. Move out of the way! Let go of personal judgments. Just because you are being temporarily inconvenienced, does not justify a holy war! Chill out! Slow down, and drive defensively.

The Full Moon eclipse of June 4^th will be a stressful one. Keep your opinions to yourself. Silence is golden! The New Moon of June 19 will also be a stressful one. Arrogant dragon will have cause to repent.

Special Focus:

Those Pisces born in March will need to exercise anger management this month. Your impatience will cause your own demise. Acts of kindness, especially in the face of adversity will have long term positive repercussions. Give yourself extra time to get places. Unless you are cautious you will attract speeding tickets and mechanical problems. Go Slow!

Healthy Mother’s Day Recipes by Carolyn Scott Hamilton

It’s the day we ask mom to stop, relax, kick her feet up and be pampered by the very people she pampers all year long. Be sure you shower her with gifts, take her to be primped at her favorite spa and finish the day with a lovely meal. Check out these healthy and vegan Mother’s Day recipes as well as last year’s brunch menu!

Pink Le-MOM-Ade

• 10 sliced lemons
• 2 cups raspberries
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 6 cups water
• 2 1/4 cups tequila (optional)
• Mint, for garnish

Combine lemons, raspberries, and sugar in a large pot. Pound the mixture firmly with a large wooden spoon, extracting as much juice as possible, about 10 minutes. Stir in water. Pour through a sieve into a large bowl. Press the solids until all juice is extracted. Discard the solids, stir in tequila and serve over ice.

Water-Cado Salad

• 2 avocados, pitted and peeled and cut into small chunks – about 1/2 inch
• 1 1/2 lbs. watermelon, seeded and cut into small/med chunks – about 1 inch
• 2 limes, juiced
• 1/2 red onion, peeled and sliced thin
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped
• salt and pepper, to taste

Add all ingredients into a bowl and toss gently.

R & R Risotto

• 3 quarts water
• 1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 1 stick vegan butter
• 8 ounces mixed fresh mushrooms, such as porcini, chanterelle, and oyster, sliced if large
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• 2 cups Arborio or Carnaroli rice
• 1 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup grated vegan Parmesan (recipe below)

Bring water, dried porcini mushrooms, and peppercorns to a boil in a medium pot. Reduce heat, and simmer gently for 1 hour. Strain stock (you should have 7 to 8 cups); discard solids. Return to pot; cover to keep warm.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook mixed mushrooms until tender and slightly browned all over, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Stir in rice, and cook until coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine, and cook until almost completely absorbed, 3 to 4 minutes.

Ladle 1 cup reserved stock over rice, and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until almost completely absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring constantly and waiting for each addition to be almost completely absorbed before adding the next, until grains are al dente but not crunchy, about 30 minutes. (You’ll probably only use 6 to 7 cups stock. Add remaining stock to loosen the risotto, if desired.)
Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the vegan Parmesan. Top risotto with sauteed mushrooms (reheat if necessary), and garnish with some more Parmesan.

Vegan Parmesan

• 1 cup soaked and dried Brazil nuts
• 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
• ⅓ teaspoon salt
• Pinch nutritional yeast
• Pinch oregano

Place all ingredients in a food processor with the “S” blade on. Process until well incorporated and the consistency of bread crumbs.

Sweet and Spicy Sorbet Sandwiches

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted vegan butter, room temperature
• 1/3 cup plus 5 teaspoons sugar, plus more for rolling and flattening
• 1 egg replacer
• 1/4 cup molasses
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped candied ginger
• 1 pint vegan strawberry sorbet
• 1 pint vegan lemon sorbet

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk flour, ground ginger, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves in a bowl.

With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in egg replacer, then add molasses and candied ginger. Reduce speed. Gradually mix in flour mixture. Wrap dough in plastic, and refrigerate until slightly firm, 15 minutes.

Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop balls of dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Roll each one in sugar, and return to sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Using the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar, press dough to flatten into 3-inch rounds. Bake until edges are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely.

Sandwich one scoop of sorbet with 2 cookies. Repeat, alternating sorbet flavors. Serve immediately, or freeze in airtight containers up to 3 hours.

Laughing Buddha and Feng Shui by Jenny Lin

In Feng Shui, the Laughing Buddha, also known by Buddhists as Matreiya, is one of the most supreme symbols of joy and wellbeing. When this jolly character is placed within any home, he will do wonders for all the residents inside; in addition to revitalizing any dead or negative chi and relieving tension, he will also summon fortune and riches for all family members. The Laughing Buddha is now also displayed in the office and prominent places in business venues, such as the front counter, lobby or cashier. He is also a highly revered figure worshipped in many temples.

The Laughing Buddha himself is a vision of happiness; his face is always in a happy, laughing expression and his position is jolly. He is a manifestation of wealth luck due to all the auspicious symbols that he holds, some of these being a Ru Yi, Wu Lou, and various gold ingots and coins. He also usually keeps beside him pots and bags filled with treasures.

The Laughing Buddha is a sure mood lifter when looked at, no matter how down one can be. Everyone could definitely use one of these in their home or office.

In Feng Shui, the Laughing Buddha can be used in many ways to best reap his abundant rewards:

1.) If your family suffers from arguments and tensions, then an image or figurine of the Laughing Buddha will solve these problems. Simply place him in the East Sector (Family Luck) (Feng Shui Bagua Formula) or a location where he can be seen when everyone is sitting around in your living room or main hall.

2.) For those who wish to enhance their luck in the aspects of wealth, self-development, wellbeing and victory, displaying the Laughing Buddha in your personal Sheng Chi direction (Feng Shui Kua Formula) will serve to help you achieve your goals.

3.) When the Laughing Buddha is displayed in the Southeast Sector (Feng Shui Bagua Formula) of the main hall, dining room or bedroom of your home, he will bring family members windfall luck and increased income.

4.) For those in competitive careers or high positions, such as CEOs or politicians, a Feng Shui Laughing Buddha placed in the workplace or household will serve to summon luck and eliminate enemies‘ effects. It will also allow for a clear mind and reduction of tension.

5) To prevent betrayals and arguments with colleagues, display this Feng Shui product on your desk at work. This will also allow you to excel in your career.

6) For students who are seeking to enhance educational luck, a Feng Shui Laughing Buddha positioned on the study desk will allow you to attain your academic aspirations.

7) It is for many reasons that the Laughing Buddha makes the perfect present for almost any auspicious occasions; for people you know who are suffering through misfortunes and bad luck, the Laughing Buddha would make an perfect good luck gift.

*Note* The Laughing Buddha is highly revered in both Buddhism and Feng Shui, and so he should be treated with respect; never place him in the kitchen, in the bathroom or on the floor.

READ: Comic Book Hero Healthy Eats by Carolyn Scott Hamilton

Superheroes, humans with powers beyond what any ordinary man or woman possesses, have the weight of the world on their shoulders. Surely they have an extensive fitness regimen to keep them in tip top shape but what do our favorite men of might eat that gives them the fuel they need to keep the world safe? Well, since we’ll be meeting a slew of crime fighting hunks this summer, let’s break down what these comic book kings most likely feast on for overall health and fitness!

Spiderman – Well, spidey is only part spider so insects are just not enough in the nutrient department to keep him so limber. Seeing as how he needs to be light enough to swing from building to building, lean enough to fit in his body hugging suit and flexible enough to crouch and flip at will, it seems that Spiderman’s diet is one heavy in good fats, high in fiber and lean protein.  To keep trim, Peter Parker probably loves avocados and stir fried veggies cooked in a light coconut oil. These good fats flush the body of HDL’s (bad fats), keeping his system clean and efficient. Parker most definitely loves his fruit and veggies to keep him regular and healthy while the lean proteins, perhaps from legumes, nuts and seeds keep his muscles and joints in proper working order.

Batman – The well-to-do bachelor turned crime fighter is more of an intellectual than an athlete. Sure, he’s great at martial arts but Bruce Wayne is all mental focus, always one step ahead of the villains. To keep his brain sharp, the dark knight’s diet is high in omega 3’s as well as colorful, antioxidant vegetables. Surely he starts his morning with a powerful smoothie rich in fresh fruit, flax and a killer protein powder made of raw foods and tons of amino acids. His meals always include freshly steamed vegetables such as sweet potatoes, kale and even some seaweed, all rich in nutrients. He loves brown rice pasta as the good carbs are good for energy and the tomato sauce is filled with lycopene, great for his heart, mind and eyes. I’m pretty sure Bruce and Iron Man have the same nutritionist and personal chef.

G.I.Joe – The most human of them all, he is THE All American Soldier. Ripped with muscles, Joe can out push-up anyone. In order to build and keep such a manly physique, Joe steers clear of processed foods, simple sugars and carbohydrates, oils and stimulants. He is a clean machine that feasts on protein and vegetables with a light smattering of good carbs such as brown rice and quinoa. He eats 5 small meals a day, perfectly balanced, and wholesomely nutritious. His choice of lean protein is cooked without oil and always grilled, never fried. His veggies, lightly steamed, perhaps water sauteed in garlic. This soldier eats to live, he doesn’t live to eat. I’m willing to bet the G.I. and Thor have a lot in common when it comes to diet.

The Hulk – This green guy with an anger problem, most likely eats like G.I. Joe but really hits the green veggies hard. His morning smoothie is probably chock full of spirulina, chlorophyll, kale, celery and every green veggie he can get his giant hands on. In order to keep his nice green hue, he’s getting it from the inside out along with some high quality lean protein.

Have fun this summer with all the superhero summer blockbusters as well as cooking up some healthy and delicious superhero eats!
