Continue reading for complete scopes for each sign:
Aries — March 21-April 19: You may feel like you’re “all over the map” for the first couple weeks this month. Mars — your ruler — direct now and moving forward again, is still in the sign of its detriment and still ticking off tense aspects to other planets. Your relationship ruler (Venus) forms some nice aspects early in the month, making things a bit more pleasant in the love department. But pay attention to storms that may be brewing there too, especially around the 13th / 14th. Between a Venus / Saturn opposition and a Mars / Pluto square, you or your partner may have some splainin’ to do. Then there’s the opposition to Uranus on the 25th. This aspect can produce fireworks — or it can manifest as a knock-down, drag-out confrontation.You can avert the latter by being proactive and funneling that tempestuous energy into something physical. Physical as in physically exerting yourself rather than taking part in any risky or dangerous behavior. That aspect can be both impulsive and volatile, so use it to release those pent up frustrations rather than taking them out on someone you love. The New Moon a few days later falls in your 4th house — the area associated with home and family. Plan to spend time with loved ones or to get some much needed work done around the house over the last weekend of the month.
Moon in Aries: June 19, 20 and 21
Taurus — April 20-May 20: You start the month with Venus in your sign and beautifully aspected — for the first couple weeks anyway. Venus is Taurus’ natural ruler and as such is most comfortable in that sign. Treat yourself to a makeover or a spa day, or use this energy to pamper a loved one. A family member — sibling or child — may ask for money or need you to bail them out around the 7th. Only you can decide whether to offer assistance, but chances are good you’ll end up writing off any loans as “gifts” in the end. You could run into an emotional snag on the 13th when it turns out that what you hoped for (or what you assumed about your relationship) is revealed to be one-sided. That doesn’t mean everything falls apart. But it is a good time to step back and think about how much you’ve projected your ideals onto another. If you’re smart you’ll lick your wounds in private, as you’re unlikely to find a lot of external support. Rather than throwing salt on an open wound, take a few days to recover (emotionally) before you get back on the saddle. If you’re involved in an established relationship, things should smooth out by the 18th. Venus moves into your money house on the 23rd, making this an ideal time to put your relationship woes aside and focus on your finances instead.
Moon in Taurus: June 21, 22, 23 and 24
Gemini — May 21-June 21: The recent New Moon in Gemini was in exact square to Neptune. Between that and the upcoming Mercury retrograde (on the 7th) is it any wonder you’re feeling disjointed? These two influences can have you feeling bewildered and befuddled — struggling to make sense of things. But their is the added benefit of forcing you to look at things differently. Perhaps it’s Universe’s way of telling you it’s time to get out of your left brain — you Geminis love your facts figures and details — and the explore the right for awhile. Speaking of that retrograde, it starts on in your money sector — giving you incentive to pay better attention to your finances — and back into your sign on the 17th. Even though it’s moving backwards, it’s forming mostly harmonious aspects for the entire month. In the meantime, a grand trine between Jupiter, Saturn and Chiron, is spanning your work and money sectors. While all is not perfect in these areas (for one thing Saturn is still retrograde), you’d be wise to focus your attention on developing your “brand.” Steer clear of any speculative ventures, particularly the last two weeks of the month. The Full Moon in your relationship sector on the 12th should shine a spotlight on your love life. If you’re going to take a gamble ,do it there and leave your money in the bank.
Moon in Gemini: June 24, 25 and 26
Cancer — June 22-July 23: You start the month with Mercury in your sign and a beautiful Moon / Jupiter conjunction (also in Cancer) lighting up the Night Sky. If you can keep this image in your mind this month you’ll stand a good chance of staying out of your own way. Things start out good. But then Mercury goes retrograde in your sign (on the 7th) and moves into your 12th house on the 17th. From this point forward, things get tricky. Misunderstandings can cause you to jump to conclusions or make assumptions based on misinformation. Until you have all the facts, don’t just assume that you’re right and everyone else is wrong. This is especially important regarding family members and relationship partners. An opposition between Venus and Saturn on the 12th could see you clinging too tightly to someone who wants to put you in the friend zone. If you’re presently involved and notice that your partner seems aloof and disconnected, don’t make it worse by pushing for intimacy. Take a step back — at least until the 18th, when Venus and Jupiter shift things back into sync. The Sun moves into your sign on the 21st, followed by the New Moon there on the 27th. The end of the month marks a new beginning for you, so tap into that New Moon energy and turn over a brand new leaf.
Moon in Cancer: June 26, 27 (Full Moon), 28 and 29
Leo — July 24-August 23: You want to make room in your calendar this month for unexpected opportunities to arise, both in the love and the friendship departments. For starters, the Sun (your ruler) is moving through your friendship sector for the first few weeks of June. Add to that both Mercury and Venus making appearances throughout the month and the Full Moon stretching over into your romance sector on the 12th, and you’ve got the makings of a full social calendar. An old friend may pop back into your life around the 17th, or reach out to you unexpectedly. A new friend (or new romantic interest) could pop in around the 23rd. With Jupiter squaring the Nodes that day, be mindful though of what you’re getting yourself into. As Jupiter rules your romance sector and the Nodes are linked to “fate,” you want to be conscious of the karmic implications of any connection you develop. Your career should be moving in a good direction for the better part of the month, though you may experience a setback on Friday the 13th. Are you dealing with tension on the job? Everything comes out in the open then. Don’t let yourself get caught up in someone else’s drama and definitely don’t let yourself be the fall guy for someone else’s screw up. Things get smoothed over the following week, but you can prevent them from getting ugly in the first place by being forewarned and forearmed.
Moon in Leo: June 1, 2, 3, 4, 29 and 30
Virgo — August 24-September 22: You could be feeling stretched to your limits this month with so much going on for you in the money, work and professional arenas. This is not a bad thing (for you anyway). You feel most alive when you’re being productive and getting things done, even as one priority takes the place of another as soon as you cross it off your list. What’s potentially taxing for you though is all of the other obligations — family, friends, people who barely know you who reach for your assistance and expertise anyway — these are the added stressors that you’re going to have to find a way to make time for. Relationships will probably take the biggest hit. With both your relationship rulers going retrograde between the 7th and 9th, it may be easier for you to put them on the back burner for now. In the meantime, the Full Moon stretches across your career and home sectors on the 12th, with Pluto and Mars butting heads the following day. You could be spending money as quickly as you make it — on repairs around the home. Don’t be shy about asking others for help. Or asking them to lighten a bit of your load. With Jupiter gliding through your social sector — and with the Full Moon taking place there on the 27th — you’ve got more support than you realize. Be open to help when it’s offered, as it may come from the most unexpected sources.
Moon in Virgo: June 4, 5 and 6
Libra — September 23-October 22: You should be getting your ducks in a row right now as far as your career goals go. Whether you’re consciously thinking about changing jobs, or just day-dreaming about where you might see yourself a few years down the road, the planets are favorably aligned for you to start doing something about it now. Maybe you just need to dust off your resume. Or maybe you’re seriously entertaining the idea of changing careers. Either way you want to work on being ready for opportunities as they arise. With Mercury retrograding on the 7th, you may not want to make an actual change right now. But it’s an excellent time to send out feelers, particularly to those you’ve had dealings with in the past. The Sun moves into your career sector (joining Jupiter which is already there) on the 21st; The New Moon also takes place in this area on the 27th. You can make important connections during this time that will reverberate into professional opportunities for months to come. Relationships may be a bit tricky for you though, especially the weekend of the 13th/ 14th. You may have to fend off unwanted advances — from someone who just won’t take no for an answer — or cut someone off who has misread your cues. Work on being firmer and more direct: that Mercury retrograde coupled with some nasty Venus aspects can get you into hot water if you don’t.
Moon in Libra: June 6, 7, 8 and 9
Scorpio — October 23-November 22: Love is in the air for you this month, thanks to a nice Venus transit (and several nice Venus aspects) in your relationship sector. Venus is in its own sign, and as your relationship ruler, it’s also in its own house. What this means for you is that even while other areas of your life may feel like they’re falling apart, you can count on your relationships to provide you with a safe haven. This doesn’t mean you should be putting your relationships to the test. That will backfire on you big time, especially around the 13th and 14th when both of your relationship rulers take hits. You may have to stop yourself from reverting back into fight or flight mode which is customary for you. Things smooth out again around the 18th, again thanks to Venus and this time a nice contact from Jupiter. If you’re not currently involved, you may be surprised to hear from a voice from the past. A far-off voice to be precise. Between Jupiter (your romance ruler) moving through your long-distance sector and Neptune (your other romance ruler) retrograding in your romance sector, reconnecting with a long-lost love is a definite possibility. The New Moon also takes place in this area — the area related to travel and long distance communications. Because of this, you could very well end up making plans to rendezvous before the month is over.
Moon in Scorpio: June 9, 10 and 11
Sagittarius — November 23-December 20: With Jupiter (your ruler) moving through your 8th house (the area associated with joint resources and other people’s money), you’ll be focusing on your financial situation for the better part of the month. You may want to pool all your resources together and find ways to make them work: through investments, or a high yield savings account for example. Because Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and considered “lucky,” money may also come to you through unexpected sources. But be careful: you’re also known for your generosity and may see a sudden influx of friends hitting you up for a loan. This is not only not the time to be lending friends money, it’s also not the best time to try to call in old debts. No matter what kind of currency you’re talking about. Speaking of friends, things could get heated with one or more of them this month, A minor tiff can escalate into an all-out war if you’re not careful, especially around the 14th. Mercury retrograde (after the 7th) could be the culprit, as misunderstandings are more likely during a Mercury retrograde. Cutting a fair-weather friend out of your life may be just what the doctor ordered, but be sure it’s not something you’ll regret down the road. Mercury retrogrades back into your relationship sector on the 17th and Venus joins in on the 23rd. A blast from the past, reuniting with an old flame or reigniting a faltering relationship are all possibilities.
Moon in Sagittarius: June 11, 12 (Full Moon), 13
Capricorn — December 21-January 20: This month you’re going to be thinking about revisiting an old career plan and breathing new life into it. Maybe you’re stuck in some kind of limbo at work, or maybe you’ve grown so accustomed to just punching in that you’ve forgotten your original goals. If so now is the time to dust them off and work on bringing them up to date. With your ruler in mutual reception with Pluto — joining together the sectors related to your drives and your ideals — now is an excellent time to think about bringing them together in real life. Mars moving through your career sector ought to be telling you right now what you don’t like about your current gig. But what about what you do like? You may have established yourself in your career and see no reason to make a change. But this isn’t about changing jobs (necessarily) it’s about reigniting the passion you once had for your job and turning it into a calling. Saturn and Pluto are both retrograde all month, so it’s not the time to act. It’s the time to review, revisit and revise. The New Moon on the 27th falls in your house of partnerships, Whether this refers to romantic partnerships or business partnerships, you’ll have an opportunity to start anew. You’d do well in this area by putting your heads (or hearts) together, and proceeding as a team, rather acting as than separate entities.
Moon in Capricorn: June 13, 14 and 15
Aquarius — January 21-February 19: This month it’s going to be about work and making money — with a little bit of health thrown in for good measure. With Saturn, Chiron and Jupiter spanning your professional and financial sectors (in a loose grand trine) for the better part of the month, these areas should all be relatively in sync.You don’t want to rest on your laurels though, because there are a few bumps in the road — such as on the 14th and the 24th when Mars makes hard aspects to first Pluto and then Uranus. The Mars / Pluto aspect — on the 14th — is significant because it refers to a potential business rival who may try to undermine your success. The Mars / Uranus aspect — on the 24th — relates more to communications, both written and verbal. In this scenario having a disagreement with someone or just not seeing eye to eye is more likely. Jupiter, Mercury, the Sun and ultimately the New Moon will all move into your work sector during the month.This area is associated with health as well. You could be thinking about taking better care of your health — starting with dietary changes or a new exercise regimen. Jupiter in your 6th helps to motivate you and give you the confidence to stay on track. With Venus moving into your romance sector on the 23rd (and potentially bringing in a new love interest), you couldn’t start a moment too soon.
Moon in Aquarius: June 15, 16 and 17
Pisces — February 20-March 20: The focus for you this month will be on home and family — including extended family and close friends. Parents, siblings and children all feature prominently, with all of your personal planets but Mars moving through these three sectors. While you may want to stay closer to home this month, that doesn’t mean you’ll be alone. You’ll be busy socializing, interacting and even entertaining on your own turf. You’ll have opportunities to showcase your talents in your neighborhood or community. Both of your relationship rulers (Neptune and Mercury) go retrograde this month: Mercury on the 7th and Neptune on the 9th. So don’t be surprised if someone resurfaces from your past. It won’t be about rekindling an old romance if they do; it will be more about tying up lose ends and resolving old hurts. A lot of healing can done there so don’t let this opportunity pass you by. The New Moon on the 27th falls in your 5th house — the sector related to creativity, self-expression, children and yes romance. If you’re in the market for a new love interest, that’s the time to start looking. And if you’re already involved, see it as an opportunity to renew and replenish. Your focus this month though should be more about your relationship with yourself and with those you consider family. In the end they’re the ones who know you inside and out, and have decided to keep you around anyway.
Moon in Pisces: June 17, 18 and 19
