Astrologer Valerie Mesa shares your horoscope for the month of June
The summer solstice is approaching, and your June horoscope has officially arrived. With Gemini season in full swing, your mind is likely buzzing with questions and curiosities—don’t get caught up in the details. The astrology ahead beckons us to use our discernment and be mindful of our decision-making process.
The month begins on an empowering note, as Jupiter in Gemini meets Pluto retrograde in Aquarius in a positive trine on June 2. This is a rare alignment occurring between two Air signs, as it will not only support us as we break free from limiting beliefs and thought processes but also help us elevate our communication style.
Mercury will return to its sign of rulership, Gemini, the following day, joining the sun, Venus and Jupiter in this mutable Air sign. Ideas and communication become more fluid and versatile at this time, making it ideal for brainstorming and networking with your peers. The mind is just as sharp as it is fickle, but stimulating conversations will broaden your perspective.
On June 6, a new moon in Gemini presents us with the opportunity to set intentions, specifically when considering mercurial themes such as communication, thought processes and the dynamic within your immediate environment. Reflect on your choice of words, communication style and how you relay information. Consider what you can change or adjust to get your point across, whether personally or creatively.
Go-getter Mars enters Taurus on June 9, grounding our desires while adding a layer of determination and practicality to our pursuits. Although the red planet is in its detriment in the sign of Taurus (meaning it is not comfortable or able to express itself fully, as it is ruled by Venus), Mars is committed and intentional when transiting this fixed Earth sign, which helps us do the same.
Mercury and Venus will enter the sentimental sign of Cancer on June 17, heightening our emotional awareness while inspiring a more nurturing approach to connections and relationships. Communicating from the heart takes precedence over logic, as this highlights the value of empathy and understanding.
The sun makes its debut in Cancer on June 20, ushering in a period of introspection and emotional renewal. Themes surrounding the home and family are brought to the forefront as this season encourages us to find solace in our personal sanctuary.
This month’s full moon couldn’t come at a better time, as it will peak in Capricorn during the solstice on June 21, bringing feelings to the surface that need to be released, specifically those that have been hindering our power and emotional fulfillment. Capricorn’s planetary ruler, Saturn, will also station retrograde on June 29, urging us to reassess our boundaries and re-evaluate our long-term plans.
Read on for your horoscope for the month of June, per your zodiac sign.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Expand your network and share your ideas with others, Taurus. June brings opportunities for personal and professional growth as long as you’re open to experimenting.

Venus and Mercury will also shift into sensitive Cancer on June 17, heightening your intuition and emotional awareness, followed by the sun on June 20.

This, however, could seem easier said than done during the full moon in Capricorn, as it will shed light upon outdated belief systems that no longer serve you.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Happy birthday, Gemini. Your solar season is in full swing, so it’s time to shine. This is especially true with the sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all conjugating in your sign—the cosmic gang is on your side.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
With your solar season approaching, the cosmos is urging you to surrender what no longer serves you so you can start your birthday season with a clean slate, Cancer. The sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are already activating your 12th house of introspection, but a new moon on June 6 invites you to go within and explore your inner world. Whether emotionally or in terms of an outdated mindset, reflect on what you’re ready to let go of. On June 9, Mars will enter your 11th house of community affairs, emphasizing long-term goals and your sense of belonging in the world.
With determination and practical solutions, this transit supports and empowers you in pursuing your endeavors. Venus and Mercury will debut in your sign on June 17, heightening your intuition and emotional awareness. You’re back in your element at this point, which is only emphasized upon the sun’s ingress into your sign on June 20. The next day, a full moon brings emotions to the surface in your closet relationships. Reflect on what’s out of balance, specifically when considering you and your partner’s needs.

Commit to a plan of action, and pursue your goals with confidence.
However, if you’re feeling called to go within mid-month, follow your intuition as Venus and Mercury will slip into Cancer on June 17, followed by the sun on June 20, igniting your sleepy 12th house of introspection. This is an excellent time to catch up on rest and spend time in solitude to recharge your batteries. Either way, your well-being is top of mind during the full moon in Capricorn on June 21, as it will shake up your sixth house of health and daily rituals.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You’re taking the lead in June, Virgo. With the sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter activating your 10th house of notoriety, there’s no denying your presence in the public eye. A new moon will also ignite this area of your chart on June 6, inspiring you with ideas and new perspectives. Be sure to grab a journal and take note of your ah-ha moments. Mars will also debut in Taurus shortly after, motivating you with passion and determination while challenging you to venture into unknown territory. The growth you seek is outside of your comfort zone.
On June 17, Venus and Mercury will slip into Cancer and your 11th house of social endeavors, encouraging you to nurture and connect with loved ones in your community, but a full moon in Capricorn shortly after highlights your passion projects and self-expression.

This could simultaneously shed light on what’s no longer of value to you.
On June 17, Venus and Mercury will slip into Cancer and your 10th house of authority. The sun will join both planets in this area of your chart on June 20, heightening your intuitive awareness while adding an emotional layer to your professional endeavors.

If emotions are suddenly running high on the home front, use this time to reconnect with your loved ones.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
As June unfolds, your focus turns toward your intimate unions and exchanges, Scorpio. This area of your life is especially prominent with the sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in Gemini, igniting your taboo-loving eighth house of interpersonal relationships and other sources of income. On June 6, there will be a new moon in this area of your chart, urging you to re-evaluate themes of give and take and how you’re communicating your needs in the process.

Just in time for Venus and Mercury’s debut in Cancer on June 17, followed by the sun on June 20, your attention shifts toward emotional connections, specifically regarding matters of intimacy and your shared resources.
