Keep reading for the full horoscope!
June 1: Mercury → Cancer
Mercury Enters Cancer
The planet of communication, ideas and intellect enters the sign of Cancer, switching our mental focus to something that’s more nurturing, emotional and focused on care. Our conversations become filled with ideas and plans surrounding safety and wellness for all of us.
However, we can’t forget that this isn’t only about comfy, cozy vibes. Cancers are the mama bears of the zodiac, and they’re not afraid to fight for what their families need to thrive.
June 2: Sun Sextile Saturn
Sun in Gemini Sextile Saturn in Aries
Our willpower, energy and desire finds support from Saturn in Aries. Saturn brings structure and boundaries to our long term goals. During this transit, we can more easily access the energy and motivation to get things done!
June 3: Mercury Trine the North Node
Mercury in Cancer trine North Node in Pisces
Today brings an increase in thoughts, communication and the sharing of ideas. To put it plainly, this is the day for yapping! And with Cancer and Pisces in the fray, we can expect these convos to be emotional, dreamy and cozy. But don’t be surprised if things get a little deep too. This is a great day for having your friends over and enjoying the company of people you love.
June 4: Mercury Square Neptune
Mercury in Cancer Square Neptune in Aries
Get ready for things to be confusinggg. Mercury connecting with Neptune brings a lack of clarity. Words get mixed up. Ideas don’t land. This is not a good day for trying to figure things out because the details may fall through the cracks.
June 9: Venus Conjunct Jupiter
Venus Conjunct Jupiter in Cancer
Babe, wake up Jupiter and Venus just got together!
Jupiter is in his sign of exaltation, meaning he has free reign to express his energies of luck, abundance, wisdom and expansion. Venus is also in Cancer, bringing nurturing, cozy, relational vibes. The two benefics getting together in a conjunction is a fairly rare occurrence, happening roughly once a year.
Today is a great day for connection and manifestation, especially with topics surrounding the home, safety, security, nurturing, love and care. You can also look at your chart to see where this is happening for you personally.
June 10: Mercury Square Saturn
Mercury in Cancer Square Saturn in Aries
Communication feels strained there’s a little extra tension to contend with. Mercury with Saturn can signal the need to work harder to communicate your ideas. Pay attention to moments where you feel extra critical of yourself and do your best not to succumb to pessimistic throughs.
June 13: Venus → Leo
Venus Enters Leo
Bust out the sequins and big hair! Venus is in Leo, right on time for summer shenanigans. Venus in the sign of the lion is flirtatious, fun, and brings big Queen energy! But she’s also extremely generous and creative, setting the stage for enjoyable connections and aesthetic exploration.
June 14: New Moon in Gemini
New Moon in Gemini
Welcome to the first New Moon in Gemini ft. Uranus! This one is all about having a fresh start and welcoming new opportunities, especially the ones that come out of the blue. Communicate your ideas. Follow your curiosity like a map. And leave your heart and mind open to new perspectives! This New Moon is ruled by Mercury in Cancer who’s sitting alongside Jupiter. This feels supremely healing and lucky.
June 15: Venus Sextile Uranus
Venus in Leo Sextile Uranus in Gemini
Sextiles are subtle transits that still bring some good and enjoyable energy. With Venus in Leo making this nice connection with Uranus in Gemini, we have a little opportunity to connect with new and interesting people. Relationships feel extra exciting and fresh. This is a good tday to socialize, and connect with people in new places.
June 16: Venus Trine Neptune
Venus in Leo Trine Neptune in Aries
Put on those rose colored glasses! Venus getting together with Neptune feels like being drunk on love. This feels passionate and kinda sexy! On the other hand, this combo can be pretty distracting and confusing. Make sure you don’t make any big relational commitments. But! If you’re enjoying a casual fling, exploring creative outlets, or playing with your personal aesthetic, you’ll find you have an extra Neptunian boost!
June 17: Venus Opposite Pluto
Venus in Leo Opposite Pluto in Aquarius
Just when we were having fun with Neptune, Pluto comes along and bursts our bubble. Pluto is really good at showing us the reality of a situation. He digs down deep and pulls out the truth. With Venus involved, this could be an uncomfortable truth about ourselves, the values we hold or a relationship (maybe you didn’t heed my warning about not taking things so seriously yesterday…) Hidden resentments come to the surface and some of us are forced encouraged to make changes within our important connections. Depending on the angle, these changes can be helpful and constructive, or a bit destructive. So tread lightly.
June 19t: Chiron → Taurus
Chiron → Taurus
The wounded healer Chiron enters Taurus, the sign that deals with our values, finances and what we need to feel physically secure. After spending 8 years in Aries, Chiron now moves on to explore lessons around the wounds surrounding self-worth, our bodies, and the things that cut us off from our abundance. We’ll also collectively be reminded of the value of our Earth and how we “use” her. Chiron will be in Taurus until 2034.
June 20: Uranus Square North Node
Uranus in Gemini Square North Node in Pisces
This transit brings an increase in sudden events, mental or emotional activations and disruptions. Uranus is the spark and the North Node supplies the fuel. And this feels like the spark of revolution. Topics surrounding spirituality, beliefs and the spread of ideas come to the forefront.
June 21: Sun → Cancer - Summer Solstice
Sun Enters Cancer
Welcome to the season of the Crab! Happy birthday month to all my sweet Cancer bbs!
Cancer is a sign that’s known to be empathetic, intuitive, sensitive and sentimental. But that’s not all there is to this hard shelled sign. People often overlook the fact that they walk around bedecked in armor, pincers ready to defend! Cancer season is the time to devote yourself to your loved ones, explore your emotions and take action on the things that are important to you.
And, as if we need more of a reason to celebrate, welcoming Cancer season means welcoming Summer! For everyone who enjoys a beach day, a BBQ or a picnic in the park, may we all find reasons to enjoy each other’s company during this season.
Sun Sextile Chiron
Sun Sextile Chiron
Right as we kick off the summer season, the Sun hits a healing sextile to Chiron, the wounded healer. This aspect feels like nurturing, care, and healing familial bonds. We might even find ourselves feeling a bit nostalgic as we look to the past for soothing memories from days gone by. On a practical note, this is a good day to fortify yourself and work on protecting your boundaries.
June 24: Sun Trine the North Node
Sun in Cancer Trine North Node in Pisces
Today, we feel an increase in energy and confidence as well as a nice spike in our intuitive nature. Because we’re dealing with two very potent water signs, this is a good day to indulge in the psychic stuff. Pull out the Tarot cards and see what comes up. Book an Astrology reading! Or even do some bibliomancy with your fav romantasy novel. Today is very dreamy, but not necessarily grounded. So try not to get too caught up in the vibes, especially if you have some normal human responsibilities to be aware of.
June 25: Sun Square Neptune
Sun in Cancer Square Neptune in Aries
Phew, today is confusing! This feels like such an energy crash after the Sun trine North Node aspect we had a couple of days ago. With Saturn making things feel heavier than usual, we might be facing moments where we lack confidence and courage. Don’t force it and remember this will pass soon. Today might show your your weak points, but the good thing is, you’ll know what to strengthen going forward.
Venus Trine Saturn
Venus in Leo Trine Saturn in Aries
A Venus in Saturn combo means shit is gonna get done. This transit is great for hard work and effort, especially in things regarding your relationships, values and your creative endeavors. Focus on fortifying the connections that are important to you in a way that helps you feel stable and supported.
June 28: Mars → Gemini
Mars in Taurus Sextile Jupiter in Cancer
On his way out of Taurus, Mars makes a positive connection to Jupiter. This is a subtle, yet productive transit. Mars provides the energy, and Jupiter provides the optimism. Together, these two make a great combo for going after the things you desire in small yet meaningful ways.
Mars Enters Gemini
Mars is finally out of the sign of its fall, and now he can really get going! Mars in Gemini brings an increase in mental energy with quick witted thinking and fast paced ideas. Be careful of people’s feelings during this transit. You might find that your thoughts teleport straight to your mouth with no filter along the way. And with Mars involved, it’ll be important to avoid mental burn out.
June 29: Full Moon in Capricorn
Full Moon in Capricorn
Right before Jupiter leaves the sign of Cancer for good, we have a Full Moon in Capricorn.
Capricorn Full Moons usually feel a little dense and heavy. We experience the tension between the emotional sign of the crab and the more pragmatic sign of the sea goat. The intuitive and changable sign of the Moon tugging against the more structured Saturnian sign.
When the Moon is full in the sky, it symbolizes a culmination point. A time of release. And maybe this Full Moon is about releasing unnecessary expectations set by work, your family or even yourself. Instead of giving power to the tension, find the middle ground.

Happy Mercury Retrograde! Along with this kind of heavy Full Moon, we have Mercury appearing to move backwards in the sign of Cancer. The good news is, this one isn’t as intense as the Pisces Mercury Retrograde we had at the beginning of the year. It’s pretty small potatoes compared to that one.
But of course, the usual Retrograde faire applies. Have patience when conversations go awry. Watch out for technical malfunctions. And if you have to travel, double check your itinerary.
Because this one is ruled by the Moon, we can expect to feel the more emotional side this transit. Feelings going up and down. Moodiness. Familial confusion. Just do your best to go with the flow!
This Mercury Retrograde lasts us until July 23rd.
June 30th: Jupiter → Leo
Jupiter Enters Leo
Today, we bid farewell to Jupiter in Cancer for the next 12 years! Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, meaning this is where he does some of his best work. During his time in this sign, the planet of luck, abundance, and wisdom buffered us from some pretty harsh Astrology. So as he leaves one of his favorite signs to be in, send some gratitude to Big Daddy Jup for holding it down for us!
And now we have a whole new ballgame. Jupiter in Leo expands solar qualities of celebrity, power, and taking center stage. It also encourages Leonine endeavors such creativity, generosity and individualism. He hits an opposition to Pluto in Aquarius right out the gate, something we’ll be discussing next month. Expect this transit to shake things up! Especially when it comes to our individual desires and the will of the people in power.
