June opens on a restless, curious note as Gemini energy encourages fresh ideas, movement, and connection. But that buoyant airy energy quickly begins to shift. By mid-month, emotional themes deepen as the planets drift into Cancer, ushering in a new cycle of care, grounding, and personal truth. This is a month that balances heart and head — where intellect meets intuition, and where bold dreams must face a reality check before they can truly take root.

As the Sun transitions from Gemini into Cancer on the 21st, the mood turns inward. Venus moves from fiery Aries into earthy Taurus by the 6^th, softening our desires and craving deeper comfort and stability in relationships. Mercury journeys through three signs this month: starting in quick-thinking Gemini, diving into emotional Cancer on the 8^th, then roaring into bold and expressive Leo by the 26^th — a clear shift from fast thinking to heartfelt expression, then into charismatic confidence.

Jupiter makes a major move, entering Cancer on June 9^th after a fast-paced stint in Gemini. This shift supports emotional growth, family focus, and expansion through vulnerability and connection. Jupiter will spend the next year helping us nurture what truly matters. But its early weeks in Cancer are not without challenge — on the 15^th, Jupiter squares Saturn, testing how we hold space for growth while honouring responsibility. Just days later, on the 19^th, a square to Neptune raises questions about trust, vision, and the fine line between inspiration and illusion.

Meanwhile, Mars finishes its stay in Leo by the 17^th, turning up the heat and ambition — before sharpening its focus in Virgo, where action becomes more precise, planned, and purpose-driven. The urge to create gives way to the need to refine. Saturn and Neptune continue to move slowly through the earliest degrees of Aries, initiating a long-term cycle of pioneering vision (or visionary action) and purposeful change. And Uranus, still in late Taurus, keeps disrupting the status quo — pushing us to upgrade our values and redefine what “security” really means.

Throughout the month, a series of potent aspects and lunations stir up key turning points. The Sagittarius Full Moon on the 11^th brings an emotional and philosophical peak — spotlighting the search for truth, freedom, and meaning. Mid-June is volatile: Mars squares Uranus, and Jupiter clashes with both Saturn and Neptune, calling for patience, clarity, and a reality check on idealistic plans. Things settle somewhat as we approach the Cancer New Moon on the 25^th — a chance to reset emotionally, reconnect with what feels like home, and set fresh intentions around family, roots, and belonging.

June ends on a powerful, proactive note. As Mercury aligns with Saturn and Neptune on the 28^th and 29^th, deep insights, structured decisions, and intuitive downloads help us crystallise new plans. Mercury opposing Pluto on the 29th may stir intense conversations or deep revelations — but truth brings clarity, and honesty puts you back in control. June closes on a powerful note: a crossroads moment. Let intuition lead — and support it with structure.
