Your ruling planet Venus, now in Cancer, makes a harmonious connection with Neptune in Pisces on June 2, which can connect you with inspiring and glamorous people! A love letter may arrive. It’s a powerful time for romance, connection, and creativity. You might get whisked off your feet or go on an exciting adventure.

The full moon in Sagittarius takes place on June 3, which could mean you’re settling a debt or resolving some other lingering issues.

A partner might share something important about how you approach money as a team.

Mercury and Uranus meet in your sign, Taurus, on June 4, which may find you sharing surprising news. Astrologers often refer to Taurus as predictable and stubborn, but at this time, you’re anything but! You could be shocking everyone around you. Your need for freedom is very strong.

Your ruling planet Venus enters Leo on June 5, inspiring a warm, welcoming atmosphere at home. This is a lovely opportunity to redecorate or entertain loved ones. You could be connecting with family or inviting someone special to get to know you a little better and meet your loved ones. In general, a cozy and comfortable energy flows, but June 5 might bring drama as Venus opposes Pluto in Aquarius. You’ll have to set firm boundaries at work, or create a better balance between your private life and public life. Perhaps your fans don’t need to know so much about what goes on behind the scenes! There may be power struggles in your career, or more abstractly, between expectations of success and what success really means to you.

June 11 finds Pluto reentering Capricorn, Mercury connecting with Pluto before entering Gemini, and Venus squaring off with Jupiter in your sign, Taurus.

Or you might be focused on school, diving into a subject that you want to know absolutely everything about. Important messages can be shared now, and if you’re working on publishing something, Mercury’s connection with Pluto helps you make great strides toward sharing your ideas.

Mercury’s alignment with Pluto can also bring a deep, meaningful discussion with someone. Mercury in Gemini kicks up discussions about money, and Venus’s clash with Jupiter brings an abundance of fun! Just be careful not to over indulge: Venus is all about feeling good, but Jupiter doesn’t always know when to say when! A special moment could arise at home or in your close relationships at this time.

Mercury squares off with Saturn in Pisces on June 15, which might stall a discussion about money. People are in a grumpy mood, while others are focused on work and get irritated if distracted.

Good news about money or home could arrive, and in general, you feel a deeper sense of peace and security. It might feel easy to get what you want.

Saturn retrograde begins on June 17, which could find you and the people you work with reassessing shared responsibilities and goals.

The new moon in Gemini takes place on June 18, marking the beginning of a new financial conversation.

Maybe you’re ready to take a new approach to building wealth, or discovering new talents at this time.

You might not feel ready to jump into commitments as the sun squares off with Neptune in Pisces on June 18. The best way to work this energy is to rest. Neptune is the planet of fantasy, and when it squares the sun, we might overthink, assume, or feel sensitive. A more productive, confident energy flows on June 19 as Jupiter connects with Saturn! Jupiter is the planet of possibility, and Saturn is the planet of responsibility: When they work together harmoniously, we can make incredible strides toward our goals and make the best of any opportunities.

Mercury is the planet of logic and communication, but Neptune is all about fantasy, so watch out for fibs and exaggerations. Even people who mean well can get carried away! 

People are especially impulsive as Mars squares off with Uranus on June 26. You might feel the urge to make sudden changes at home! Think twice before selling your furniture or moving across the country: You might be over it in a few days! That said, this can still be a powerful time to make radical changes that you’ve already been mulling over, as you may have the energy and confidence to make it happen now. Mercury enters Cancer on June 26, which bodes well for communication. You could be tackling paperwork, getting on top of your emails, and busy in your social life.
