Gemini is the sign of the twin, and Scorpio, we all have multiple sides to ourselves: the side we share with the world, and the side we hide. The person we have been, and the person we are becoming. The person we wish we could be, and the person we deny that we are. This is a powerful time to examine your many sides. The Sun in Gemini is lighting up the sector of your chart that rules transformation, so open up to new ways of being.

Mars, the planet of passion, enters fellow Water sign Cancer on June 4, igniting the sector of you chart that rules higher learning and travel.

A full moon in Sagittarius arrives on June 9, illuminating the sector of your chart that rules your personal finances—and your self-worth. Your focus has been on your partnerships, Scorpio, but this full moon wants you to return to your needs. Full moons are powerful times for release—during this full moon, Scorpio, let go of negativity, especially relating to what you deserve or what you're worth.

If you find yourself thinking that's what I get for doing or thinking something or other, examine why. Sagittarius has an abundant, generous energy—and during this full moon, as tiring and sensitive as it will make you feel, I want you to remember that you deserve all the wealth, love, and happiness the world has to offer.

This full moon will illuminate self-worth issues, allowing you to work on self-healing. As emotional as full moons can be, Venus will make a harmonious connection with Mars, bringing you good vibes, especially in your relationships. Find someone you trust who you can process your feelings with!

This is also a time to cast spells to help you cease self-destructive habits of spending. Full moons are wonderful times for letting go—so cut up those credit cards you don't need!

Romantic vibes continue to flow as Venus connects with the planet of fairy tales, Neptune, in fellow Water sign Pisces, on June 20. This is an especially dreamy day to connect with your partners.

The summer solstice arrives with the Sun entering Cancer on June 20, or 21, depending on your time zone. Mercury enters Cancer and joins the Sun on June 21, delivering profound philosophical breakthroughs.

You'll be inspired to travel and break out of your everyday life, Scorpio, and you may think about going back to school—or working hard at a program you're already in. This is a time for writing and getting your work published. Mars entered Cancer early this month, lighting a fire under your butt, so put yourself out there; after the summer solstice, there will be no stopping you! Gemini season was time to gather information—Cancer season is time to act!

Circle June 23, the date of the new moon in Cancer, as a day to watch for. These themes of travel, school, and publishing will reappear. On June 28, when Mercury and Mars meet in Cancer, new information will come your way.

You'll be inspired to travel and break out of your everyday life, Scorpio, and you may think about going back to school.

Venus, in Taurus, trines (one of the easiest astrological aspects) power planet Pluto, in Capricorn, on June 24, which will be another excellent day for communication, especially in your partnerships. Intimate information will be exchanged—again, you fucking hate small talk, Scorpio, but there will be none of that this month! You'll have an easy time connecting with people, especially when Venus and Pluto meet.

Mars, in Cancer, clashes with Jupiter, in Libra, on June 24, or 25, if you're on the East Coast, encouraging you to trust your inner voice and take some risks. I would warn you to pace yourself (Mars and Jupiter's energy combined can be explosive), but I think you'll have it under control (you always have it, whatever it may be, under control), especially since Mars makes an easy connection to Neptune on June 25/26, which will create a gentle atmosphere. This is a fantastic day to be lazy with a lover.

The month wraps up with Mercury opposite Pluto, in Capricorn, on June 29, an intense combination of energies sure to bring powerful conversations, especially about secret, taboo, or sensitive subjects.

Pluto (which happens to be one of your ruling planets, along with Mars) can be a difficult energy to work with. It's the planet of death and transformation, but its influence can draw out people's dark sides, so watch for manipulative people and shady behavior. If someone is trying to convince you of something, Scorpio, it would be smart to get a second opinion.

Have a great month, Scorpio, and see you in July!
