Gemini Season is in full swing, and it’s not here to be predictable. It’s here to stir things up – mentally, socially, narratively. This month isn’t about staying in your lane. It’s about veering into unknown territory just to see what’s there. The energy is fast, chaotic and brilliant. You might contradict yourself, do something for the plot, start three things at once – that’s the point. Gemini teaches you that you don’t have to be consistent; you just have to be stimulated by what you’re doing. Our appetite for change and adventure is amplified by Saturn’s recent entry into Aries, reminding us of the importance of taking risks, pairing ideas with action, and being radically honest. This energy is blunt and straightforward, while the Sun in Gemini sharpens the contrast.

Early June highlights the polarities between those acting from fear, ego and self-interest, and those aligned with their spiritual truth. Gemini provides the data. The texts. The receipts. The clarity can sting. But it also liberates us and gives us the courage to make changes. It’s a fast-paced, occasionally combative start to June, but things soften when the planets move into gentle Cancer. This marks a shift from the mind to the heart, and a return to what feels like home.

Venus enters Taurus on June 6, offering us some much-needed grounding. With Venus in her home turf, our finances and relationships flourish. Venus in Taurus favours quality over quantity. It’s less about flashy chemistry and more about sustainable connections. Think security, sensuality, and the kind of love that lingers. This is an invitation to slow down, savour what’s already yours, and invest in what feels nourishing, not just exciting.

On June 11, the Full Moon in Sagittarius arrives like a truth serum, illuminating the spaces where we’ve outgrown old beliefs, outdated routines and limited perspectives. This lunation brings a surge of awareness

On June 10, Jupiter moves into Cancer, amplifying our emotions. This transit lasts until the summer of next year, expanding whatever helps us feel held, protected and at home. Jupiter’s magnetic field is so vast, its sheer magnitude acts as a shield, catching comets, deflecting meteors, and absorbing what might otherwise strike Earth. Against impossible odds, Jupiter protects. Now, as Jupiter moves through Cancer, that protection takes on a softer form. It wraps around us like a maternal forcefield, cradling us in emotional safety. This is a reminder that true growth begins when we feel nurtured, as our ability to feel increases. There’s a collective nostalgia that sweeps in under this transit – a longing not just for the past, but for the version of ourselves that felt protected, intuitive and whole. Don’t be surprised if you feel compelled to call your mum, dig through old photos or binge-watch familiar favourites. Jupiter in Cancer teaches us that luck comes when we honour our feminine faculties, family and heritage, while moving from the heart. This bodes well for women’s movements, mutual aid networks, and any effort towards familial healing or ancestral reclamation. 

Even as our craving for safety and emotional grounding intensifies, Jupiter hits a few bumps along the way. Mid-month, Jupiter butts heads with Neptune and Saturn, stirring up emotional fog, mixed signals, or doubts about where we belong. If things feel unclear or hazy, trust that it’s a temporary test of faith. On June 11, the Full Moon in Sagittarius arrives like a truth serum, illuminating the spaces where we’ve outgrown old beliefs, outdated routines and limited perspectives. This lunation brings a surge of awareness, revealing what needs to grow and what needs release. You might feel a sudden urge to zoom out, to travel beyond your comfort zone, or to reconnect with a sense of purpose that feels bigger than the day-to-day. Sagittarius energy seeks truth and adventure, but it also comes with a warning: not everything needs to be broadcast. Choose your words wisely.

Cancer Season begins on June 20, marking the solstice and a shift from stimulation to sensitivity. After the fast-talking, idea-surfing chaos of Gemini, Cancer invites us inward. We move from intellect to intuition, from external motion to emotional depth. Suddenly, home becomes the centre of the universe. We crave cosiness, care, and the space to retreat. The New Moon in Cancer on June 25 offers an opportunity to tend to our inner landscapes and set intentions for deeper emotional safety, spiritual grounding, and the kind of care that begins within. This lunation asks us to get radically honest about what we need to feel nourished and protected – and to plant seeds for a future that feels emotionally sustainable, not just impressive.
