Capricorn, June 2016

June is a big month for the planet of fantasy, Neptune, and the planet of reality, Saturn. Because Saturn is your ruling planet, this means it'll be a big month for you! Will you be frustrated by Neptune's confusing, foggy vibe? Probably, but if you can go with the flow (Neptune's all about flow) and face some disappointments gracefully (you're basically a professional pessimist, so you'll live), you will be all right with Neptune.

Neptune and Saturn start the drama early in the month, on June 3, when sweet Venus clashes with illusory Neptune, creating a very sensitive, even weepy, vibe. Neptune creates confusion, so expect uncertainty around Venus-ruled stuff, like love and money.

You could be very annoyed today that someone's not communicating well about the responsibilities they're supposed to be managing or you could feel frustrated over delays in communication during a commute.

Both Venus and the Sun oppose taskmaster Saturn on June 3. Oppositions create confrontations, and because Saturn rules responsibility, you can expect that someone will get "grounded" by Saturn today. This isn't a day to expect to get what you want, and, unfortunately, neither is the next day, when a new moon arrives in Gemini.

New moons bring new beginnings, and this new moon in Gemini will be activating the sector of your chart that rules your daily tasks and chores, as well as your health and habits. This is a great time to make a fresh start around getting your tasks done or for picking up a new wellness routine; however, with Sun and Venus square Jupiter, the vibe will be pretty gluttonous. This new moon, take a serious look at what's important to you and ask yourself whether you're living your healthiest, most productive life.

On June 12, Mercury, the planet of the mind, enters logical Gemini. This will be a fantastic time for you to figure out you need to do in order to have a more efficient schedule that supports your health instead of just burning you out.

For example, if you're working or studying someplace that has a terrible commute, communicative Mercury in Gemini will have your back as you try to adjust things. Or, if your problem isn't that you're working too much but rather that you're working too little, busy Mercury in Gemini will aid you in finding something you can dedicate some time to. Just try to be conscious of how much you promise—Mercury in Gemini can be all talk, no walk, and it's crucial that you get your shit done, Capricorn.

Your intuition will kick up a notch on June 13, when psychic Neptune turns retrograde in dreamy Pisces. This retrograde will be activating the sector of your chart that rules your mind, logic, and communication, so expect to feel a little more poetic. Neptune in Pisces is imaginative and whimsical, which is great. However, sometimes we don't want our communication to take the form of metaphors and fairytales—we want facts, too. Pay attention to what you're saying to people. Is all of it really true? And how honest are others being with you?

The biggest clash this June occurs between reality-loving Saturn and whimsical Neptune, and it takes place on June 17. At this time, you could learn that you have ways of communicating and thinking that don't work for you at all. Or maybe you'll stick your head in the sand and pretend you're not doing anything wrong—that's totally possible whenever Neptune, the planet of escapism, is involved. The best way to work with this energy is to take ownership of how you communicate. If you're grumpy because you didn't sleep well last night, perhaps stop going out until 3 AM. If you're in a bad mood because you haven't had your coffee yet, don't make that phone call until you do.

When Saturn and Neptune collide, we can feel lost, deflated, or even paranoid. Try to work positively with these two planets by being your most responsible self (Saturn) and allowing yourself some form of healthy escape though art or spirituality (Neptune).

June 17 does bring some good news: Sexy Venus enters empathetic, nurturing Cancer, lighting up the sector of your chart that rules relationships! This is fantastic for any kind of partnering, but especially for romance or business, since Venus rules love and money.

The Sun enters Cancer, again highlighting the relationship sector of your chart, on June 20, and brings the full moon in Sagittarius with it! This will be a very revealing full moon for your relationships. Take time today to reflect on what you want from your partners and what you're able to give them. This could be an exciting day to spend with a lover—full moons are always magical! However, do try to keep things light (as you can for a full moon, at least).

Saturn and Neptune bring drama during this full moon, too. Mercury opposes Saturn, creating a difficult vibe around talking, while Mercury squares Neptune, bringing general confusion. So, basically, don't try to have a deep talk or ask anyone for anything important because they will likely say no—and even if they say yes, they'll be too confused and flustered to be useful.

One of my favorite days this month is June 26, which is when lucky planet Jupiter connects with power planet Pluto, creating fantastically healing, productive energy. Today is especially powerful if you're traveling or taking a class. Learning something new is a great way to use today's energy.

Also on June 26, Mercury will connect with genius Uranus, which will create helpful vibes around your home and family. This transit will also send you help around any chores or projects you need to complete. Communication has been rough for you this month, but June 26 could bring some forward movement.

Speaking of forward movement, Mars turns direct on June 29! Plus, Mercury enters Cancer on June 29 as well. Chatty Mercury hanging out in the relationship sector of your chart will be great for communicating with your partners, and Mars ending its cranky, irritable retrograde in Scorpio will definitely boost your social life.

June is confusing and stressful, but if you can have a sense of humor (and you know you're super funny, Capricorn), you'll be able to navigate through Neptune's fog and around Saturn's walls. See you in July!
