Welcome to June,
This month the full moon June 3 is in Sagittarius. There is a change in the air for all of us as the cosmos support us to alter the course of our lives. This full moon is a significant turning point as significant planets move into retrograde.
Eclipse season may be behind us, but the retrograde season’s just getting started. On June 11, Pluto, the planet of transformation, retrogrades back into Capricorn, where it’ll remain until the start of 2024. Major themes from that point in your life will circle back to be acknowledged and dealt with.
June Horoscopes
ARIES:
The Gemini Sun is beaming on your sign until June 21. Gemini is the sign of intellectual curiosity, so expect a mix of intrigue, adventure, and introspection. Mars, your ruling planet, moves through Leo, igniting your passionate, fiery spirit. Venus enters Leo on June 5, kindling romance as well.
Both relationship planets (Venus and Mars) are in a fire sign most of the month. Love is among the month’s highlights for even the most individualistic Aries. The Gemini Sun highlights communication. Together, these influences signal a time to express your feelings, declare your love, and say yes to love in all its forms. If you’re single, start by looking in the mirror. It’s one thing to conceptualize self-love, but have you had a recent somatic experience of it? It begins with accepting – no, loving – the most cringe-worthy aspects of yourself. Then, work on cultivating compassion for all the past versions of yourself.
You’ve always been one for blazing trails and conquering new territories, and this month is no different. The Sagittarius Full Moon on June 3 drives you towards daring and exciting endeavours. Accept invitations, be spontaneous, and break a habit to change the routine.
Neptune begins its retrograde journey on June 30 in the most mystical sector of your chart. It’s a gentle nudge from the universe to turn inward. Listen to your intuition and pay attention to your dreams during this phase; they could be a powerful source of guidance.
As we approach Cancer season, starting on June 21, your focus may shift toward home and family. Balancing your inner free spirit with your focus on home life might be challenging, but if anyone can strike a balance, it’s you. Create boundaries around your time and space.
TAURUS:
This month calls for financial caution. While you may see some growth, avoid making hasty decisions, especially concerning investments. However, keep a balanced approach. The Sun shines in Gemini, helping you prioritize your values and realize your worth. Expect random acts of kindness as helpful people appear to be teachers and messengers of these lessons. Receive.
June calls for you to channel your steadfast Taurus energy into your goals and ambitions. We start the month on the heels of a challenging aspect pattern between Pluto, Jupiter, and Mars. You may feel pulled in multiple directions by different obligations. We can’t make everyone happy, but we can align with our own goodness, kindness, and empathy. Then, it’s possible to speak and act with grace. The Sagittarius Full Moon is a time of truth-telling. Have a conversation about anything weighing heavy on your heart.
Venus moves into Leo on June 5, inspiring your creativity. Indulge in the arts, try a new recipe, or take up a DIY project. As Mercury enters Gemini on June 11, you may feel encouraged to bring your creative ideas to life through the written word.
The Sun enters Cancer on June 21 at the solstice, shifting your focus to learning, teaching, reading, and writing. Communication. Express your thoughts and feelings; remember, your voice matters, Taurus. Let it be heard.
Your journey this month is about acknowledging and celebrating your growth while making room for new experiences. Your mantra for June should be: “I am open to the abundance of the universe.” Hold this close, and the universe will respond in kind.
GEMINI:
“It is never too late to be what you might have been.” The words attributed to George Eliot might be your mantra this month. Imagine the myriad paths you could have journeyed, the diverse trails you could have blazed. Now, consider your present-day life. As a Gemini, you have a potent talent for self-reinvention. You were destined to probe the boundless realm of possibilities. You often flourish within the exhilarating heartbeat of novelty and exploration.
So ask yourself, what’s new? If the answer is ‘nothing,’ it’s time for a change. The Sagittarius Full Moon on June 3 awakens the urge for adventure. Unfurl your map, plot a spontaneous journey, or dabble in a new hobby. Your imagination hungers for wonder, for the thrill of the unknown.
Mercury enters your sign on June 11, allowing you to express yourself in new ways. How do you want to be known? Reflect on this question as the messenger planet moves through your sign (from June 11 – June 26). Its influence can help clear a misunderstanding, supercharge your work, or launch a PR campaign. The Sun is shining in your sign until June 21, supporting your efforts and expanding your reach.
You sense a burgeoning cultural shift on the horizon at the end of the month, but you may- need more context for what movements will arise. Pluto’s retrograde returns to Capricorn on June 11, reminding us to reimagine our understanding of power and money. Because you’re often the messenger to others in your community, be ready to ask questions, research facts, and express your ideas. Mars shines in your communications sector all month, and Venus joins on June 5. You can speak, write, and sign with power and grace. Use this bonus courage to face fear.
CANCER:
Change is in the air, and we all sense it. Breathe easy; you are ahead of the curve. You’ve been on a cathartic journey of spiritual growth, which started in 2008 and has intensified in the last three years. Though the ground beneath you may still seem unsteady, keep the faith. Jupiter in Taurus helps stabilize your life.
Pluto re-enters Capricorn on June 11, which may resurface a familiar and challenging dynamic related to finances or relationships. You may recall a situational self-abandonment. If circumstances repeat, stand strong. Ground yourself in the knowledge and wisdom you’ve gained. You are capable of seeing the silver linings of even the darkest clouds.
The Sagittarius Full Moon on June 3 can shine a healing light on a health challenge. If you’ve had questions about a condition, you could receive a diagnosis around this time. With the Sun moving through Gemini until June 21, you’ll reflect on what habits, priorities, and dreams to carry into your new solar year.
The Gemini New Moon on June 17 invites self-compassion and acceptance. Saturn stations retrograde that day, calling you to relinquish regrets and grudges. You’ve grown in your power; don’t let anything diminish that.
The Cancer Sun brightens your life, revealing previously obscured desires. Mercury enters Cancer on June 26, improving commerce and communication. Mercury animates your mind, even if you need a break. (I encourage you to take one!)
You’re in a period of fertility and growth. It’s the perfect time for planting seeds, both literally and metaphorically. Whether it’s initiating a new project, fostering a relationship, or nurturing personal growth, the conditions are optimal. It’s your season. Align yourself with this abundant energy and make the most of it.
LEO:
How do you feel about your love life, Leo? No matter how you answered the question, this month’s astrology indicates romantic shifts. Both relationship planets, Venus and Mars, are moving through your sign, and you are walking the axis line between self and other. On June 5, Venus enters Leo to embolden you to make the first move or declare your commitment. It is a time of high romance with an undercurrent of desire, thanks to Mars. Let’s be real; relationships sometimes stretch us in uncomfortable ways. This month is no exception. On June 26, Mars squares Uranus, and tensions stir. Stay tender, despite the fear responses, like fight, flight, freeze, or fawn.
The Gemini Sun animates your curiosity about others’ lives, and you might host a gathering to be the hub connecting different spokes. On June 11, Mercury enters Gemini, making your social life more engaging. Make time to tell stories and share from the heart. Listen, too.
June could feel calm after the storm of last month’s eclipses and Mercury retrograde. You weathered highs and lows, healing realizations, drastic changes in life plans, and chance encounters with people from the past. It was intense! So, you might need a break, and the astrological skies encourage it when the Sun enters Cancer on June 21.
Pluto retrograde re-enters Capricorn on June 11, easing its pressure on your sign since March. You teach what you most need to learn. Are you familiar with that phrase? Pluto teaches you hard-won lessons, and then you become the guide for others. You’re learning all about power over these next several years. Write the curriculum you most need.
VIRGO:
Any number of miracles could happen at any moment. How open is your heart to receiving goodness? Answer this question honestly to decipher how to overcome obstacles. You can achieve great things this month, but you must remember to let go of your desire for control. Embrace the spiritual forces of the universe and allow them to guide you. The Sagittarius Full Moon on June 3rd tests your ability to remain neutral in a heated situation.
On June 21, as the Sun enters Cancer, its light can help you expand your network and connect with helpful people. Your work life will be bustling, and you might yearn for a well-deserved vacation. If the stressors of the previous month have caught up with you, give yourself a break.
The Gemini New Moon on June 17 sets the tone for the entire summer. Pay close attention to your thoughts towards the end of the month, for your manifestation power intensifies. As Neptune begins its retrograde journey on June 25, it serves as a reminder that genuine relaxation is an antidote to anxiety. However, it’s essential to engage in true self-care. Ask yourself, “What is the most loving thing I can do for myself?” Doing so will strengthen self-acceptance and help you realize you are the agent of your own life.
As Saturn stations retrograde on June 17, you’ll learn to balance independence and interdependence. Embrace relationship transitions and honour your commitments. It’s a time of rediscovering the foundation of significant relationships in your life. Trust in your ability to navigate change gracefully and remember that while you may not control all aspects of your life, you can adjust your responses and cultivate a sense of inner peace.
LIBRA:
Imagine your life as a canvas. If last month’s tableau was reminiscent of abstract expressionism — gestural strokes, bold colours, and raw emotion — then this month could be likened to minimalism. We’ve cut out distractions and eliminated some of the chaos. We have calm patterns of gentle hues held within defined lines. While still abstract, it doesn’t evoke a desperate desire for comprehension. It simply is.
The Sun shines in Gemini until June 21, casting its beams upon our aspirations. It kindles a spiritual yearning, a quest to encounter something greater than ourselves.

The divine operates in mysterious ways and is reaching out to you now.
The New Moon on June 17 in Gemini paves the way for fresh opportunities in publishing, directing, learning, or teaching.

So, Libra, indulge yourself. Prioritize fun this month. You might be surprised by what doors open in your life.

Keep this question in mind in those rare moments you feel a lack of financial well-being or love.

“Never let the fear of failure stop you from trying. Failure is not the opposite of success but a part of it. It’s through the trials and errors that we learn and grow.”
The above paragraph is brought to you by AI technology. Your sign is associated with network technology and the internet.

Saturn in your sign helps ground those ideas into a tangible form, but it takes the right action steps.
