June’s featured denizen of the Dark is none other than Cristofer Sanders! He is an accomplished actor, television producer and the very picture of Gemini versatility. “I am certainly an eclectic, gregarious spirit,” says Cristofer, “with a wide variety of interests and inclinations. The Gemini stereotype of having multiple personalities is an accurate one, although I attribute that more to being multi-dimensional rather than bi-polar. Geminis are able to access and identify with a whole spectrum of personality, ideas, and outlooks and that often comes across as baffling and insincere to more grounded individuals, which can be a source of frustration for Geminis because we feel that all our sides and demeanors are genuine.”
When I asked which of the stereotypes did not apply to him, Cristopher said, “Geminis are often depicted as flaky and dishonest and, personally, I pride myself on being reliable, loyal, punctual, and a man of my word. This is not to say that I don’t sometimes find myself pulled in many different directions, but I can be relied upon to be a superb multi-tasker and maintain my commitments.”
One might find this Mercurial man rocketing about the Los Angeles Goth/Industrial scene in impeccably stylish and theatrical attire. “I was raised with both the values and sensibilities of a Southern Gentleman and a whacky Austin bohemian,” he explains, “with a penchant for the macabre, and I maintain an assortment of stylish and vintage ties, jackets, fancy outfits, and costumes in my wardrobe. I tend to lean towards the darker and richer color tones, and my favorite item of clothing is a jacket that has pentagrams on the buttons. which was once the uniform for a Japanese schoolboy.”
Cristofer embodies the dynamic and perpetually transformative nature of our beloved subculture with his enthusiasm, curiosity and wit. Happy birthday, Good Sir!
And now, your ‘Scopes.

June’s rapid succession of big changes will keep you pleasantly occupied while the rest of the world races to keep up. You are just naturally more equipped to deal with sudden growth and upheaval than other people. The best thing you can do for yourself this month is clarify, reiterate and even repeat all communications. With close friends and lovers in particular, you can steer your life around some big, gaping potholes if you would begin most of your conversations with, “Hey, I know you’ve already heard this but …” They won’t admit it but, no they didn’t hear you the first time.

Jupiter enters your sign on June 4th, encouraging growth, expansion and generosity. On the downside, he also encourages sloth and gluttony. Sneak a workout or two into your hedonistic schedule so you can still fit into your party pants, come July. You’ll be craving more intellectual stimulation after the 9th when Venus, your ruling planet enters the cerebral terrain of Gemini. By the 19th, crucial conversations will be held regarding your relationship needs and boundaries. Just be honest. You’ll never get what you really want if you don’t have the balls to ask for it.

Happy Birthday! For our first present, June is going to suck considerably less than last month did. Secondly, it will be so fast-paced and full of shiny, new information that even you, with your miniscule attention span, will remain constantly entertained. The new moon at the top of the month is amplified by an eclipse and it all happens right in your very own sign. New rules work in your favor when they go into effect around the 12th. By the 19th, you’ll have enough distance from the whole situation to really see the big picture and maybe even make sense of it. It’s all about perspective.
Cancer

June begins rather pleasantly for you, especially in the professional and financial arena. Your natural talent for pulling answers out of thin air will be amplified in the later part of the month. Write down your dreams and take your hunches seriously. Instinct may have to temporarily replace your usual sources of information. Don’t rely too heavily on the logical, rational mind or there will be a pervasive sense of disorientation throughout most of June. The third eclipse in a single month happens in your sign on the night of the 30th/morning of July 1st. That’s when you’re most likely to embody the moody Cancer stereotype.

Petty drama buzzes around your luxurious mane in the first two weeks of June, threatening to annoy you just enough to risk becoming disheveled. Stay composed and graceful; it’s not worth your attention. If you can hold out through the 20th, some very positive feedback from the ‘Verse reconfirms the value of your aversion to bullshit. A peaceful, easy feeling gently descends over the latter half of the month. Your focus shifts to family and home life as your ruler moves out of chatty Gemini and into cushy Cancer. If the aforementioned irritations don’t happen to live with you, you’re golden.
Virgo

Another boost to the old bank account is coming right up! Jupiter moves into Taurus, forming a helpful trine to Virgo that will last all the way through the end of this year. You’re welcome. In other news, it would be helpful for you to run a diagnostic on your relationship history. Find out what your patterns are and – if it turns out that they suck – make an effort to re-route your energy. This month brings friction with friends and lovers, both past and present. At first, they’re just talks. After the 20th, they get kind of aggro. But, it’s a fight with a purpose. If you don’t wuss out, you could learn a lot.
Libra

There is no way you are getting out of June unchanged. Out of every sign in the Zodiac, yours is the one that gets hit the hardest when Saturn stations direct in Libra on the 12th. It’s squared by Pluto, opposed by Uranus and the sun gets in on this action with another square by the end of the month. Imagine the most ruthless teacher you ever had in school singling you out and making an example of you. It’s like that. You can’t beat him so, you might as well join him. What kind of example do you want to be? For what higher cause would you do a semester’s worth of detentions? Hell, some crimes are totally worth it.
Scorpio

You’ll consider yourself pretty lucky, this month, as people around you are freaking the fuck out, your life seems peaceful by comparison. Of course, given your customary paranoia, you’re not likely to let your guard down, in any case. New and potentially valuable information comes to you through friends in low places and by the time the full moon hits on June 15th, it may very well affect your bottom line. It might not be a bad idea to cut a business deal with a Virgo. They seem to be having a good money month, too. But, then you’d have to trust somebody.

The full moon lands in your sign, this month and it’s turbo charged with some crazy eclipse action. Your independence is going to be tested as friends, partners and colleagues run out of resources to share and leave you entirely to your own devices. Have a plan B ready to go so that their drought doesn’t have to mean your disaster. You’ll feel a natural inclination to slow down and cultivate some Zen in your life as your ruler, Jupiter shifts out of Aries and into Taurus. Depending on how many people wind up flaking on you, you might need all the Om you can get.

Tensions are running high as you get ready to receive some final answers to long standing questions in your life. From the 11th to the 21st there will be a series of figurative earthquakes that do everything but leave you alone. You are well-equipped to make the most out of June’s newly sharpened edges and hard lines. While others are struggling against this upheaval in reality, you are surveying the terrain and devising a flawless, new plan of action. Chances are, you probably knew this was coming, all along. Buddy-up with some Aquarians. They can relate.

Truth. It’s what you’re all about, right? So, when the seemingly disparate pieces of June’s puzzle begin to coalesce and reveal a brand-new Big Picture, you would be wise to spend some time actually looking at it. Later, there will be plenty of time to re-invent it if you still insist on doing so. The 17th through the 19th will be … fucking insane. There’s really no other way to put that. The 26th will serve up a nice little shock, as well. Good thing you’re crazy enough to roll with all of these punches. I sure as hell wouldn’t want to be an Aquarian, this month. Oh … wait … shit.
Pisces

Your living situation is a subject of discussion, throughout June. You’ll be compelled to re-assess the resources you have at your personal, individual disposal and the ones you have been sharing with others. Your usual philosophy of “peace, love and lollipops for all” may give way to “get your own damn lollipops.” Oh, and you’ll get this weird sense of maturity and pragmatism, too.
It’s temporary. You’ll be your compassionate, altruistic self again by mid-summer. In the meantime, you can see what it’s like to actually have appropriate boundaries! Whoa.
