June Horoscopes
By ALLI SCHWARTZ
Illustrator ELLA BLUE
This summer starts on a high note for everyone. The first week of June is supercharged with momentum that is here to help, ultimately peaking on June 9th when Venus and Jupiter make a conjunction in Cancer. Mid-month, energies become more tender when the wounded healer Chiron enters earthly Taurus and will point toward what needs healing in our lives and where we can offer wisdom to others. Two important transits begin on June 29th when Jupiter enters Leo and Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer. Jupiter in Leo is gregarious and encourages us to take up space. The incoming inflation of egos is balanced out by Leo’s equally prevalent inclination to be generous with others. Think: “Go big or go home.” Mercury retrograde may add some stickiness to all of this summer’s expansive energy, but it’s coming to highlight what wasn’t built to last so that we can adjust accordingly. Check your Sun & Rising signs to see how these transits will impact you personally.
Important Dates
June 9th: Lucky Day: Venus and Jupiter make a conjunction in Cancer. This auspicious day speaks to the culmination of something that began in mid-August 2025 pertaining to connection, art, beauty, or creativity.
June 29th: Do a Double Check: Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer. This watery retrograde reviews what we care about and how we show it. Mercury is the planet of communication, and retrogrades often coincide with tech glitches and mix-ups. The pre-retrograde shadow begins June 12th, which is when you should start proofreading your emails and paying attention to shaky technology that could use an appointment at the Apple Store. Mercury will be retrograde until July 23rd.
Readings for the Signs: Check your Sun & Rising Signs
Aries
If you are moving, signing a lease, decorating your home, or planning a visit to your hometown, use the helpful momentum of early June to tackle these tasks. You just might strike gold on Facebook Marketplace or get approved for that apartment that seems too good to be true. Equally importantly, this month could teach you what it means to feel secure in your finances or resources. Later in June, consider your relationship to your primary caregivers and the ways in which you care for the people closest to you. This summer is romantic, creative, and expansive for you—it’s time to play.
Taurus
In early June, the days fly by. You’re connecting with people and relishing your routines. This month asks you to look inward, as you are being called to embrace your natural essence. When you connect to your own life force, you find healing. Crack open your journal or take yourself on a solo date—this self-discovery is also a great excuse to treat yourself. The rest of this summer casts a spotlight on your home life. You’re the host with the most at your place, and when you visit your old stomping grounds, you’re the guest of honor.
Gemini
The beginning of the month offers a beneficial boost to your finances. By the end of June, you will be reviewing your talents and resources, as well as how you relate to them. You might pick up a new hobby or incorporate something fun into your routine. You have the opportunity to experience deep healing this month if you’re willing to introspect. The bright warmth of summer is more rewarding when you allow yourself to explore the shadows of the night with the same vigor.
Cancer
June comes in hot this year, and so do you. For the first week, you feel like you’re hitting every green light. Enter a raffle or be bold in asking for what you want. You’re lucky right now. Mid-month, pay extra attention to the groups you’re a part of—you are a grounding force when a conflict arises that needs solving. While you nurture your community and social circles, make sure you also prioritize self-care. Your talents enjoy a confidence boost this summer, so allow your skills and gifts to make themselves known. Take up space and lead with what you know.
Leo
Whatever transformations you’ve been undergoing, the shedding process comes easily at the top of the month. Allow yourself to cleanse what no longer serves you so that you may create space for a new chapter that more closely aligns with your truth. While it’s important to work hard, you cannot do so unless you equally prioritize rest. You are the main character this summer—welcome that spotlight and bask in its glory. You will need to make compromises to maintain connections with others, but remember there is no such thing as being “too much.”
Virgo
Good fortune is headed for your communities this month when you show up and make it known that you care. If you find yourself interested in a new subject, check out that book from the library or watch that documentary. See what you learn about yourself when you follow your curiosity. You are being encouraged to loosen your grip on perfection, and anything hiding under the surface will find its way into the light this summer. You shine the brightest when you allow all parts of yourself to be seen.
Libra
Use the beginning of the month to make strides in your career or revel in your positive reputation. The first week is a great time for you to apply to jobs, network, give a presentation at the office, or even just post on Instagram. Pay close attention to who you CC on your emails and exactly what you post to your Close Friends versus Main when Mercury stations retrograde at the end of June. This summer feels like a never-ending party for you and your friends, and you’ll have to carefully discern which functions you actually want to attend. You’re a social butterfly this season.
Scorpio
If you’re planning travel, taking a new class, finishing a degree, or publishing, the first week of June is here to help. You and your career are the talk of the town, and people can’t get enough of your work. Make the most of this lucky break because by late June, Mercury Retrograde could induce writer’s block or make a headache of your travel plans. Take a lover or best friend on a nature date with you this month—you both will benefit from convening with an element during this time. Your public approval rating is high this summer, and people are looking to you for leadership.
Sagittarius
Use the beginning of this month to secure funding, a grant, or any kind of assistance that you have your sights set on. People want to help you if you’re willing to put yourself out there. However, to do the work you wish to do, you must take good care of yourself first. Indulge in the organic produce at the farmers' market or take your favorite yoga class. But be sure to keep an eye on your bank statement and actually look at the bill before tapping your card during this Mercury Retrograde. This is a great summer for you to travel, apply to graduate school, start a Substack, or take a random class just because it piques your interest.
Capricorn
Early June is a gorgeous time for you to go on dates with your people,platonic or romantic. Things are going well in your 1:1 relationships, but you will review these dynamics at the end of the month and determine what you really care about. Your creative projects reveal a something personal this month. Whatever your medium of choice, allow yourself to “fingerpaint” and see how you feel afterward. If you’re involved with projects that need funding or are applying for a grant or scholarship, this summer brings helpful opportunities to you. Open yourself to new experiences; your mantra through August is that “nothing changes if nothing changes.”
Aquarius
Your work life is abundant at the beginning of June, as is the work that you do to take care of yourself. If you’ve been considering it, this could be a good time to get a pet. Spending time near animals will feel extra connective right now. If you owe your parents a call or are craving a visit back to your hometown, it could be worthwhile—you might learn a thing or two. It’s extra important that your living space feels comfortable and beautiful to you. Deep clean your room, redecorate if you feel called to, or buy those new linen sheets. A summer fling is looking highly promising.
Pisces
For you, the beginning of June is all about having fun. Flirt, date, create, and play. If any of your creative projects have been stalling, the first week of the month is the time to hit the ground running. It will pay to establish a daily ritual that feels good to you, whether it’s a walk through the park, Morning Pages, or the perfect iced coffee. If you’ve been feeling underappreciated for your work, that will change. Your work life gets a boost this summer, and you may encounter some new opportunities.
