the fortunate day of the week. The ancient Hebrew tribe over which this
sign rules is that of Issachar. The ruling angel of the sign is Ambriel.
The floral emblem is the mayflower.

June, according to Ovid, was named in honor of Juno. Others connect the
term with the consulate of Junius Brutus. Without doubt, it has an
agricultural reference, and originally denoted the month in which crops
grow to ripeness.

At the time of the Julian reform of the calendar its days were only
twenty-nine. To these Julius Caesar added the thirtieth. The Saxons had
several names for the month of June. They called it "the dry month,"
"midsummer month," and in contradistinction to July, "the earlier mild
month."

In modern times June has been called "the month of roses," and "the month
of brides." There is an old rhyme to the effect that--

Married in month of roses, June--
Life will be one long honeymoon.

A prediction which, unfortunately, has not always been carried out.

The summer solstice occurs in June. The principal days now observed are:
June 11, St. Barnabas; June 24, Midsummer Day (Nativity of St. John the
Baptist); and June 29, St. Peter.

Jay Gould, born during the Gemini period, was a type of the mental ability
and restless aspirations of this sign. Julia Ward Howe, Emerson, Margaret
Fuller Ossoli, and Alexander Pope are excellent illustrations of the
literary genius of Gemini people. Queen Victoria was born upon the cusp of
the sign.
