As Gemini season draws to a close, expect eclipse hangovers, a mercury retrograde, and a period of rapid change. Buckle up!
ARIES//ARIES RISING
June begins with Mercury retrograde in Gemini, asking you to switch gears and slow your roll. We are in the age of information, and this retrograde is a perfect time to tune out all of the excess media and focus on returning to your sense of safety and seclusion. The Solar Eclipse on the 10th occurs in your sector of communication, clearing out your cerebral patterns and asking you to decide on mindfulness rather than impulse. Look out for information from the past that helps you form a clearer understanding of how you perceive yourself. Venus enters your area of home and safety on the 2nd, infusing your living space with warmth and joy, and encouraging you to get cozy and intimate in your own field. Mars, your ruler, then moves into Leo on the 11th, creating a little bit of a push-pull between your desire for safety and comfort and the desire to express yourself. You have inclinations to be receptive, but not trampled on. Be wary of fears connected to other people “stealing your spotlight”.
TAURUS//TAURUS RISING
With Mercury retrograding through your sector of finances, it’s a good time to triple check your pocket book. Jupiter in Pisces means that you have the opportunity to dream up and visualise new mediums for earning, and draw success towards you by building it in your head. You have access to a wider community of artists and collaborators waiting to assist you in your journey to greatness. Your social circle is expanding, and so expect prosperous opportunities to arrive. In June, your ruling planet moves through sensitive Cancer, asking you to embody greater empathy and compassion for yourself and others. The Solar Eclipse in Gemini wants you to get real honest and start speaking your truth, proudly. This is a chance for you to examine what you say and how you say it. As a Taurus, you can be stubborn to change, but you are being prompted to build new friendships and practice greater openness in your communication.
GEMINI//GEMINI RISING
Happy Birthday, late Geminis! With your ruling planet Mercury retrograding in your sign, you are being asked to re-evaluate your steps and double check what you say and how you say it. This retrograde asks you to upgrade your social sphere. You are done with fake people and circumstances, and eager to meet like-minded individuals. With so much emphasis in 2021 on your own independence, the eclipses have most likely brought some relationships to a close. The Solar Eclipse in Gemini on the 10th marks the beginning of a new chapter for you. Use this day to set intentions for your personal success and the new relationships ahead. Eclipses are wild cards events, and can eclipse old circumstances out, and bring new ones in. With Venus moving into gentle, sensitive Cancer, you may find yourself in pursuit of people who display more empathy. Mars also moves into Leo, sparking your sense of creative inspiration and urging you to lead with pride about the person you are becoming.
CANCER//CANCER RISING
Happy Birthday, early Cancerians! The month begins with Mercury retrograde, prompting you to dial out of the information overload, put down your phone, and give yourself some breathing room. Pleasure planet Venus then enters your sign on the 2nd, bestowing you with a sense of romance and amping up your appetite for affection. Venus adds a rose tinted hue to your life, so although we are in eclipse season, this is a good time to connect blissfully with yourself and your fellows. Don’t be afraid to give yourself adoration and share your joy with those around you. Mars entering your house of finances gives you a boost of energy, so don’t be afraid to go after what you need to feel prosperous and resourceful. The Solar Eclipse on the 10th conjoins Mercury retrograde, creating a crossfire of information and misinformation. Utilise your ability to curate safety and harmony in your home sphere and seek comfort within yourself. Expect all signs to be on emotional overload! The Full Moon on the 24th lights up your sector of goals in partnerships, so take inventory about the longevity of any romantic connections and think about how you are spending you time with others. You deserve reciprocity.
LEO//LEO RISING
It’s a dramatic month in the heavens, dear Leo, so try and tame your propensity to be in the center of the storm, and instead focus on radiating that infectious warmth you wear so well. With Mercury in retrograde until the 22nd, the temptation to engage in verbal rebuttals and gossip may be high, but try and think before you speak (or hit send). The Solar Eclipse in Gemini on the 10th gives you a chance to reboot and clear out mental clutter. Perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate friendships and groups where you feel unseen. Anything hindering your progress will be wiped away by the magnitude of these eclipses. Warrior planet Mars enters your sign on the 11th, giving you a sense of physical vitality and a clearer direction. You are geared up on your mission to personal success. Be wary of impulsivity and irritability during this transit, and avoid turning petty conflict into battles. This energy is best channeled towards your professional pursuits.
VIRGO//VIRGO RISING
Career moves may need to be re-evaluated in June, as Mercury retrogrades through your career sector, helping you assess the steps you are taking into adulthood. What brings you the biggest sense of accomplishment? What skills are you here to master? How can you achieve professional advancement without going into overdrive? The Solar Eclipse in Gemini on the 10th will spark a six month period of new beginnings in your work life. Use the energy of the eclipse to set intentions that gear you up for greater visibility and personal success. On the 20th, when the Sun moves into sensitive Cancer, you may be drawn back into your home sphere, eager for reflection, retreat, and comfort. With such a heavy upheaval of the cerebral Gemini energies of early June, this will be a welcomed change of pace into the emotional.
LIBRA//LIBRA RISING
Welcome to June, dear Libra! This month you are encouraged to communicate loudly and proudly about your need for reciprocity in your relationships. With Mercury retrograde in Gemini, you may feel a tad overlooked by your fellows. Whether it's a missed text or a conversation gone awry, it's important to allow everyone to make mistakes and not take things too personally. Venus, your ruler, moves into sensitive Cancer on the 2nd, encouraging you to seek safety in your connections. You are in need of comfort and nurturing, so switching into the energy of receiving rather than overextending yourself is a plus. With a Solar Eclipse in Gemini occurring on the 10th, all signs can be caught in a crossfire of information. Take this time to disconnect from your socials, and listen to your thoughts as a gentle observer – without judgement. Ask your inner guidance system for a healthy change in perspective.
SCORPIO//SCORPIO RISING
You thrive in intensity, and June offers you just that, but watch out for your adept ability to sting with words. Mercury is retrograde in Gemini until the 22nd, creating a crossfire of information for all signs. A Solar Eclipse in Gemini on the 10th can bring hidden information to light, and may help you formulate a new outlook on how you experience intimacy. This Eclipse is occurring in your arena of transformation, and offers you the chance to learn how to be more self revealing in relationships. As Venus moves into nurturing Cancer, you are best suited for leading with compassion and empathy when connecting to your fellows, rather than resorting to power plays. When the Sun moves into Cancer on the 20th, your focus shifts to more philosophical questions, as you begin to question your place in the Universe as a whole. Let yourself travel down roads unexplored, and follow the impulse to ask unanswered questions.
SAGITTARIUS//SAGITTARIUS RISING
With Mercury in Gemini retrograding through your sector of partnership, you may find yourself cruising down memory lane, processing and examining relationships past, present, and future. You think in abstract, bigger picture ideals, and the messy, cerebral storytelling going on around you might make you feel as though your mind is in a blender. Try and steer clear of the drama and lean back into your strong suit: your journey ahead. Is this journey free of unnecessary conflict? Think about what you need to shed in order to remain clear headed and focused – particularly in the realm of relationships. The Solar Eclipse in Gemini on the 10th offers you a six month window of creating brand new partnerships that are in alignment with your highest expression. Set some clear intentions around this date about what type of dynamic you are welcoming in, in friendships, business, love, and beyond.
CAPRICORN//CAPRICORN RISING
Welcome to June and eclipse season, dear Capricorn! It may feel as though everyone around you has lost their marbles – and your usual groundedness is being tested by Mercury retrograde in Gemini. June asks you to examine your health and wellness routines, check in with your body, and develop a plan of action for preventing physical burn out. What are you spending energy on, and why? How can you be more gentle and caring with yourself? The New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini occurs on the 10th, prompting you to make some resolutions to your own self care. It’s also affecting your area of service to others, and it may be an opportune time to lend a helping hand to a friend in need. As the Sun glides into Cancer, your opposite sign, your relationship dynamics are accentuated. Here, you have the chance to ask for more reciprocity in your connections to others. The month culminates with a Full Moon in your sign on the 24th, prompting you to work through buried emotions and establish balance by leaning into your capacity to feel.
AQUARIUS//AQUARIUS RISING
It’s heating up in the heavens, and with a retrograde and a solar eclipse all occurring in the duplicitous sign of Gemini, you will certainly have to double check your movements and words in June. Gemini oversees your sector of romance and fun, and it might be time to check in with your relationship to play. Are you being hedonistic, or level headed? Are you having holistic, wholesome experiences, or have you been pushing the limits? These questions are accentuated in June as you start to take inventory of how you spend your free time. The good news is that you’re creatively inspired, and any and all experiences can be churned into powerful art. Remain dedicated to your own self expression, while avoiding the chaos and drama that this season will bring. When the Sun moves into sensitive Cancer, we will all be in need of some tender love and care. Try and find ways of connecting with your own love, rather than sourcing it externally.
PISCES//PISCES RISING
Happy June, dear Pisces. Last month, when Jupiter entered your sign, and new potentials for the direction of your life were unlocked, doors were opened, and your realm of probable success is heightened. Remember to utilise this transit to match your dream world with reality. You possess the gift of imagination, and you can use it to heal yourself and build new paths ahead. The Solar Eclipse in Gemini on the 10th brings family and home matters to light, and may clear your headspace of early childhood programming that interferes with your growing sense of identity. It’s a good time to take inventory of the stories – true or otherwise – that you have taken on from your family. How can you nurture your inner child? Luckily, the Suns ingress into soft and compassionate Cancer brings answers for you.
