The great energy of Gemini and Mercury
Gemini season is in full swing as the month begins, with the Sun shining in the sign of the Twins along with Venus, the planet of love, and Jupiter, the planet of luck (the latter just started a year-long stay in Gemini on May 25). Mercury, Gemini's ruler, joins the party on June 3, amplifying Gemini's breezy, chatty vibe and giving your brain a major mental boost.
It’s time to put on your social butterfly wings and start fluttering towards new concepts and conversations. On June 4, quick-thinking Mercury joins expansive Jupiter, blessing everyone with great ideas and auspicious social connections.

The Moon will merge with values-oriented Venus, making this a powerful time for expressions of love, money, and all kinds of delightful new beginnings.
Mars swings steadily in Taurus
After two months in its home sign of Aries, Mars is shifting from an impulsive goal-chasing style to a more reliable approach as the action planet enters grounded Taurus on June 9. Mars likes to move fast, but Taurus energy knows that slow and steady wins the race—so be patient with yourself when pursuing what you want, and take your time to make sure every step you take leads you to right direction.
Just be sure you don't do any low blows to get ahead, as the annual square between Mars and power-hungry Pluto will reach its peak on June 11, dramatically bringing competitive tendencies to the surface. .

This conjunction may spark an important conversation or productive mental breakthrough that helps you get your plans on track—or may inspire you to make new plans entirely. Speak your truth, listen to others, and be open to inspiration.
Venus and Mercury in Sensitive Cancers
On June 17, romantic Venus and logistical Mercury enter gentle Cancer side by side, giving us an early taste of the emotional energy to come in Cancer season. With both personal planets in fellow water sign Cancer for the rest of the month, everyone will be operating in a more sensitive space, so approaching communication and relationships with a more tender and compassionate attitude will be helpful. Venus and Mercury will also be squaring illusive Neptune at this time, so try not to take things too personally, as not everything is as it seems in this hazy cosmic weather.
Cancer Season and Summer Solstice
June 20th is a special day among the stars, as the Sun moves from Gemini into Cancer, kicking off both Cancer Season and the Summer Solstice. Cancer season is a powerful time to tune in to your feelings, connect with your family, and let your heart follow your head. Connecting with your closest friendships and getting lost in the magic of a nostalgic summer playlist is the perfect way to connect with this gentle and sensitive energy.
Full moon kicks off summer
The June full moon reaches its peak immediately after the summer solstice, allowing everyone to welcome the new season with sparkling and inspiring lunar energy. On June 21st, the full moon appears in practical Capricorn, making it an excellent time to bring some soul power into your current trajectory and begin to show it wholeheartedly. If you focus on aligning your plan with your true core values, you can take exciting and productive steps toward your long-term goals.
Saturn retrograde starts on June 29th
You can't escape this month without a planet going retrograde, and this time it's rule-oriented, responsible Saturn. Saturn will be retrograde in 2024, starting on June 29 and lasting until November 15. This annual retrograde is a good time to slowly look for solutions to any long-term challenges that have arisen over the past year. Use the next few months as an opportunity to take a step back and gain clarity on the direction of your future plans.
