Dear Reader,

I broke my leg. There is no other way to say it. It seems incredible, but I did, and I cannot have surgery to mend it as my team of doctors at NYU Langone agreed it would be too dangerous. I was born with a rare condition that causes excessive bleeding in my left leg. Mother Nature will knit my tibia bone together, and it will take three months to heal. One month has past, so I have two months to go. Physical therapy will begin after that to be sure I get strong and so that the left knee will not buckle when I walk.

On the evening of April 20 I arrived at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch to speak at a retreat. I went to dinner at a steakhouse that was a mile away. My cousin Maria, who lives in San Francisco, came with me to the Ranch and was with me when the accident happened. We had both been looking forward to being in the fresh air of Simi Valley at the retreat for the weekend.

After dinner (it was in a very isolated area) I called an Uber. The driver seemed a little confused, even though I had detailed what we looked like and were wearing, but he finally saw us waving to him.

He stopped the car, and as my hand was about 4 inches from the Tesla doorhandle, the driver moved forward about 12 inches unexpectedly. I fell backwards onto the street’s sharp concrete cobblestones, seriously wounding the tailbone of my spine, and at the same time smashed my left leg against the pavement, breaking my tibia under my knee cap. It was no one’s fault, just an accident.

My left thigh bone is where my birth defect is—not only is my circulatory system messed up, but  due to that, the left leg has no marrow. That means I am as breakable as a china tea cup. I have broken that leg five times.

I can’t sit upright yet, as the tail bone still is very painful, but I figured I could type on my laptop in a reclining position, and I can! I love writing for you, and nothing will stop me!

I wear a leg immobilizer, which is made of steel rods and Velcro, and it extends from my ankle to my hip, and I need to have it on day and night—even when I sleep. It is heavy, but the leg likes to be cuddled in it. The bone does not move inside this cast. I am on crutches (what I call my “chopsticks”), and I go slowly, like a little turtle. All this is tricky as I live alone, and I’m not strong enough yet to even go to my mailbox in the lobby of my building. I am careful not to take pain pills during the day. I have to be clear as a bell when I write for you.

I have lived with the birth defect all these years, and I am grateful that Mother Nature can heal it in time. The doctor said he wished that he could have operated, as doing so would have made the entire episode quicker, and the repair would have been more precise, but that’s not an option. (When I broke the femur for the third time, simply walking across my carpeted apartment twenty years ago, they operated that night. During surgery I had 18 blood transfusions (in all I have had 40 transfusions in my life). I agree—no more ordeals like that!

I feel my birth defect has opened my heart for the plight of others, and I feel I write with much more compassion than I would had I not had my congenital problem. You will be the judge of my writing, of course. When I am writing I am always asking myself, have I covered every topic I see in the chart? Have I explained it thoroughly and clearly? If I see a troublesome aspect in one part of life for that sign, do I see good ones coming ahead to help the situation. These are the questions I keep asking myself as I write.

One afternoon, when I was doing Instagram  Live, I mentioned that I was thinking of doing a five-part video series on the concept of pain in all of its forms, with interaction from readers. I got such a huge, enthusiastic response from the audience. I was taken aback—I never expected that. As a result, I am still thinking about that—emotional pain, physical pain, financial pain, plus sadness and grief from loss. There are so many type of pain in life. We don’t talk about these questions. Does pain have value? As it is part of life, I think it does, and it is my job to find that purpose. I am still pondering about this, and I welcome your input. Please send me your thoughts at [email protected].

Now let’s have a look at June.

This will be an exciting month as Jupiter will make its legendary move to Leo for the first time in 12 years. It is important that you read about what is coming June 30! Everyone will have new things to look forward to doing as the planets again start to play musical chairs. In your forecast I detail precisely how you will benefit from this new placement of Jupiter, the planet of happiness, growth, and good fortune.

Pluto is in an air sign (Aquarius), Neptune and Saturn are in fire (Aries), and Uranus is in air (Gemini). Jupiter, until now has been in water-sign Cancer, but will join the crowd of planets in air and fire when he goes into Leo, a fire sign. All these major outer planets will be compatible, which should help us! We have to see how this goes as it’s very rare to have all the outer planets in compatible signs.

Mercury is due to retrograde from June 29 to July 23, so do your best to get all your most vital actions done in the first half of the month.

The June 14 new moon will be a void moon, which is unusual, and if you don’t know the concept of a void-of-course moon, you will understand it when you read your June forecast. When a moon is void, it is not wise to make any important actions, for they will likely fall flat and come to nothing.

I have created an entire app devoted to the moon void of course called “Moonlight Phases,” which is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. It only costs $7.99, and it goes through the year 2050, detailing every day—yes, every day!

Both my apps (my other app is “Astrology Zone Horoscopes,” which gives you detailed long daily forecasts that I write) have GPS built in. That way, when you travel, the app automatically knows and calibrates the correct time of the aspect for your location. You will always get accurate data and advice from me on my apps as you move through various time zones.

If you allow notifications, you don’t even have to check the app. For example on “Moonlight Phases” the app will show you on your screen when the moon goes void and when she comes out of void—that way, you will know because the pace will pick up. I use this app every day.

On another note, I want you to know my predictive, astrological calendar is now 50 percent off, selling for $15.00, plus shipping, so be sure to order your copy. It is simply stunning with Izak Zenou’s inspirational illustrations. Readers say that they had no idea how beautiful the calendar is in real life.

You will see all my predictions for the days in the months ahead, as well as all the retrogrades, and the rest of the planetary movements along with my explanation of what those aspects mean. You will get all of 2026 plus January 2027, as I always give you an extra month in my calendar.

If you live in Europe or beyond, please be aware of Malini, our wonderful exclusive distributor in London, also sells my calendar. Go to www.astrologyzonecalendar.co.uk. The shipping from London will be lower than from us in the United States. You can follow Malini on Instagram at @astrologyzonecalendar.uk. You can follow me on Instagram (and other social media sites) by searching for either Susan Miller or @Astrologyzone.

We have eclipses coming in August, so we have lots of change in the wind. You will see what I wrote about those eclipses in my Year Ahead 2026 Astrological Wall Calendar—there is plenty of detail. They are due August 12 and August 28.

Enjoy June as you look forward to the new placement of Jupiter, dear reader. I am anxious to know the new benefits you receive from this planet of good fortune!

Sincerely,

Susan
