MONTH OF June

At last, some lightness! During the first three weeks of June, you’ll be craving novelty and excitement, just like the good old days. Find ways to safely sate your appetite for adventure. There’s romance in the air—but it could come served with a dash of confusion (and the possible return of an ex) while Mercury’s retrograde until June 22. Midmonth, tough Saturn in Aquarius will lock into its second of 2021’s three challenging squares to disruptive Uranus. Since these are your planetary co-rulers, you could feel a major internal conflict, with a particular tug between the pursuit of your own goals and the demands of home and family. Identity crises are never fun, but they’re certainly informative, and this one serves up a prime opportunity to learn about yourself. With both Jupiter and Neptune turning retrograde later this month, you may want to temporarily tap the brakes on a fast-moving project and scale back. Finish what you’ve already started before barreling ahead into something that might eat up more time and money than planned, Aquarius. Speaking of plans, the last week of June brings the urge to buckle down and tend to your work and health. Let your wilder urges drive the wagon until the summer solstice on June 20. Then you’ll have a full tank of fun so you won’t feel deprived getting back to business. The full moon near month’s end unveils a possibly dramatic conclusion to a longstanding, deeply felt issue. What might it be? The past holds a clue. If you’re ready to finally let something go, this lunar release can bring much relief.

The Sun is in Gemini until June 20

With the Sun in sociable Gemini and your fifth house of passion and good times until Sunday, June 20, it’s okay to surrender to the pent-up urge to get out there and celebrate your personal pursuit of happiness. After all, all work and no play makes a dull Water Bearer! Do you feel ready to switch on your dating profiles, or take a chance on some al fresco restaurant nights out? As long as you’re safe, Gemini season is a green light.

But while fun is definitely on the menu, be prepared for a side order of crossed wires and mixed messages since messenger Mercury is retrograde in the same zone as the Sun until Tuesday, June 22. Is that a whiff of romance on the rocks we’re sensing? With tech-savvy Mercury reversing through your love corner, there could be a surprise in your inbox or message feed, perhaps a note from an ex. You might be tempted to reach out to an old flame—and hey, maybe the second (or fifth) time around could be the charm? For couples, an issue you’d resolved could flare up again. Deal with it at a core level so you can put it to bed for good. Be extra careful with data and devices now and pay special attention to details, which can be easily missed. Go to great lengths to NOT send mixed signals if you’re feeling uncertain about the fate of a budding relationship. Be honest, but don’t run hot and cold.

Mars and Pluto get heated on June 5

Ouch, did you really just say that? On June 5, Mars in your critical sixth house will oppose shadowy Pluto in your twelfth house of sacrifice and endings. Something you’ve been holding in for way too long could suddenly surface. This could provoke volcanic anger and passive-aggressive showdowns. Buried resentments can bubble up, and you could fling cutting, critical words that hit below the belt. Careful, Aquarius! It will be hard to take those caustic comments back.

With Mars in your health house, some well-being issues could also present themselves. If you’ve been pushing a nagging ache aside or putting off a checkup, this mid-June Mars opposition will force you to deal. Better to get to the root of what ails you than to let it snowball into something bigger. The mind-body-spirit connection will be strong, so any issues are likely to have an emotional underpinning. Don’t just treat the symptoms now, Aquarius.

The sixth house rules helpful people, and with Mars here, a service provider or employee could become a source of stress. Is a certain member of Team Aquarius acting selfish or unreliable? Maybe you’re short-handed and need more assistance to pull off a project. Don’t try to DIY this one. Invest in the resources you need so you can do this right.  

The June 10 Gemini solar eclipse brings a fresh start to love and creativity

Revved up for romance? Although the cosmic weather for summer lovin’ is partly cloudy due to Mercury retrograde, the Gemini solar (new moon) eclipse on June 10 won’t be stopped! These supercharged beams blast into your passionate, creative fifth house, awakening both the muse AND your mojo. It’s a powerful day to revive slumbering passion or put the universe on notice that you’re available for connection. Just avoid getting too hung up on happily-ever-after. With foggy Neptune sending a loose jab to both the new moon and Mercury, your idealized hopes (and fears) about the future could prevent you from just enjoying the present. This eclipse will unfold over the course of six months, culminating at the Gemini FULL moon on December 18. 

Saturn and Uranus clash again on June 14

Boat-rocking alert! Mid-June could find you torn between tenaciously pursuing your personal goals and putting out fires at home, with family or your own turbulent emotions. One part of you is trying hard to plant roots and create traction, while another side wants to be free. You could file that under “day in the life of an Aquarius,” but at these rare alignments, the duel gets extra fierce.

On June 14, Saturn and class=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” Uranus meet in their second challenging square of 2021 (their first was on February 17, their next will be on December 24). As rule-obsessed Saturn and rule-breaker Uranus lock into this showdown, forcing you to find a new balance between security and upheaval. This dynamic mashup will clarify your goals with steely-eyed precision, but it could also create a chaotic curveball that topples existing structures, assumptions and agreements in your life. People-pleasing, especially with loved ones, is not a sustainable strategy. Where have you been suppressing YOUR needs just to keep others off your back, Aquarius? For a reminder of why class=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” your desires are as important as everyone else’s top your summer reading list with The Audacity Queen: The Unapologetic Art of Dreaming Big and Manifesting Your Most Fabulous Life by Gina DeVee.

With your primary ruler, disruptive Uranus, in your home and family sector, changes could happen in your personal life, whether you’re ready for them or not. Is it time to set firmer boundaries with loved ones—or, on the flip side, to be more accountable to your clan? Prepare to work through this balancing act, which will force you to get crystal-clear on what really matters most to you.

It’class=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” s Cancer season (and summer solstice) starting June 20

A big day arrives on June 20, the convergence of the summer solstice, Father’s Day and the start of Cancer season. (Jupiter also turns retrograde, but we’ll cover that separately.) The Cancer Sun is unpacking its bags in your dutiful sixth house, getting ready for a no-nonsense monthlong visit. After four weeks of drama and decadence, that doesn’t sound too bad! Curb the indulgence and get your early summer cleanup going, inside and out. Fill up your fridge with healthy foods and plan a few meals before a long Zoom workweek resumes. Fire up your Fitbit and map out some time blocks for movement. Putting things on the calendar now will exponentially increase the odds that they get done.

But Jupiter also goes retrograde on June 20

On Sunday, June 20, Jupiter—the planet of growth, luck and expansion—starts its annual four-month retrograde (backward) spin until October 18. This year, Jupiter will split its reverse commute between Pisces and Aquarius. The red-spotted planet will back through Pisces and your second house of work and money, where it’s been hanging out since May 13. Promising new opportunities to boost your revenue and cash flow could hit a snag, or at least, you may need to scale back a bit if a project is creeping over budget or scope. 

Mercury retrograde is OVER June 22

At last! class=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” The three weeks of technology, communication and plan-making mixups, courtesy of Mercury retrograde, are over. While you may still feel some “retroshade” from Mercury’s shadow period until July 7, you’ll now start to get much clearer about what you want from a relationship. If you’ve been creatively blocked, the ideas should start flowing again.

Release the past at the June 24 Capricorn full moon

Surrender, Aquarius! When the full moon in Capricorn arrives on Thursday, June 24, it’s time to release something that’s been holding you back…or let go of something that you’ve been holding onto. This game-changing lunar eclipse in your twelfth house of closure and healing holds the possibility that a difficult situation could come to an end or go through a major transition. Look back to January 13 Capricorn new moon for clues about what could manifest now. This full moon could also awaken a slumbering spiritual practice or creative pursuit. Freely express your “woo-woo” side today: Pull an angel or Tarot card, make a vision board or drop into a guided meditation for clues about the path ahead.

One more retrograde (Neptune) starts June 25 (total of 4 planets)

Keep an eye on your funds for the next few months and curb any excess spending. Nebulous Neptune turns retrograde in Pisces and your second house of work and money from June 25 until December 1, which could bring slowdowns and confusion with youclass=”body-el-link standard-body-el-link” r finances.

Plug the money drains in your life, whether that’s a bunch of unused app subscriptions or a distracting coworker who leaves you stuck working late. With mystical Neptune here, check the Feng Shui of money-related areas of your home. Leaking faucets, toilets that don’t stop running, clogged drains? In Feng Shui, the water element represents money, so make sure yours isn’t leaking away. Adding some houseplants or decluttering can also open up blocked channels of abundance. Try it all!

With Jupiter, Saturn AND Pluto also retrograde, a more measured and responsible approach to all things is in order. Feeling at a crossroads about a major part of your life? When in doubt, wait it out! You don’t have to be pressured into a decision you’re not ready to make. Take your time to evaluate the options.

Venus gets cozy in Cancer on June 2

Sensible meets sensual from June 2 to 27 as ethereal Venus enters Cancer and your healthy, natural sixth house. You’ll be in the mood to move your body and bask in self-care with a focus on wellness. Ahhh, it feels so good to pay attention to your vitality again! That glow-up won’t go unnoticed, especially since passionate Mars is also in Cancer until June 11. 

Mars has actually been here since April 23, which may have motivated you to do some self-improvement, but not with the same graceful and self-loving ease that Venus brings. If you’ve been extra critical of yourself or your partner or driving yourself way too hard, pleasure-loving Venus invites you to slow down and drop the “no pain no gain” approach. Yes, relationships take work, but “dedication” doesn’t have to involve struggle! If you’re been micromanaging your mate or trying to force an outcome with a love interest, Venus invites you to relax and follow the flow. 

While you don’t want to waste your energy on a going-nowhere connection, you can’t demand that people conform to YOUR timeline just to quell your anxiety. Work on self-calming techniques (guided meditations, movement and focusing on YOUR interests) if you begin to fixate. You may find that when YOU chill out a bit, the other person takes initiative. 

Mars roars into Leo on June 11

Twosome time! From June 11 to July 29, Mars will blaze through your committed-relationships house, heating up your urge to merge. But beware: With combative Mars in your opposite sign of Leo, your own oppositional tendencies could flare. Be careful not to take your stress out on a partner or project your own perfectionistic standards onto them. With speedy Mars in this officializing zone, you could meet someone with long-term potential or seriously consider taking that next big step.

Venus joins Mars in Leo on June 27

The bonding and togetherness energy becomes even sweeter when Venus joins Mars in Leo from June 27 to July 11. Hosting both love planets in your partnership zone is a rare invitation to bring balance and romance back to an existing duo or to do some real manifesting work to call in the partner you desire. With this much magnetic energy on your side, the universe is definitely ready to serve—so be as specific as you can about what you want, and don’t forget to ask! Whether you do that through creative visualization, a collage or a prayer—or by asking your friends to introduce you to their most eligible and compatible prospects—being proactive will work in your favor now.

Get it together, Aquarius! With activator Mars in Cancer and your organized sixth house all month, it’s cleanup time. But as fast as you can implement one system, it seems, another thing breaks. Blame it on Mercury retrograde, which is exposing where all the dramatic and disorderly parts of your life are. One solution: Upgrade your core team, either outsourcing to a specialist or hiring someone to help complete any difficult or technical tasks. Have you been doing something worthy of buzz and fame? Get ready for your closeup! On June 10, the Gemini solar eclipse beams into your attention-grabbing fifth house, which could bring the recognition you deserve. Not sure whether to carry on with a certain project? The June 24 Capricorn full moon will shine a spotlight on the weaker links and people who don’t have your back. Take in what you see instead of going into denial. You don’t have to make any binding decisions, but DO process everything so you can decide whether to stay, go or institute some major changes.
