June 2023, Holiscopes
We flitter through Gemini season as June begins, moving quickly as we embrace our curiosity, communication, and connections. The month opens up with a Full Moon in Sagittarius, exact on the 3 or 4 depending where you’re located. It is a time to confidently celebrate your truth and greater beliefs about the world, as well as the culmination of something that started 6 months ago. Give back to those around you and gain clarity on the actions that will move you forward on your path.
Venus moves into the sign of Leo on the 5, bringing bold, generous playfulness and celebration in relationship. The planet of love and values will have an extended stay here thanks to Venus Retrograde beginning next month. With Mars also in the fixed fire sign, you may find it easier to go after what you want with good times abound thanks to Jupiter in Taurus’ alignment, but Pluto’s opposition could bring forth unhealthy obsessions and power struggles in your relations.
Pluto Retrograde dips back into the sign of Capricorn on the 11. Integrate how you’ve transformed when it comes to the Capricorn-ruled house of your chart, and reflect on how different structures and authority figures have changed on a global scale. Anything that needs to be transformed once and for all will make itself apparent to you, especially by the end of July.
Mercury changes signs twice this month, to Gemini on the 11 and then to Cancer on the 27. At home in Gemini, our minds are quick moving, with increased chatter, new inspiration coming to the forefront, and the ability to connect the dots between ideas. In Cancer, we can find wisdom in feelings by speaking directly to vulnerabilities and channelling our emotions in healthy ways.
Two planets join the Retrograde parade in June — Saturn and Neptune. Both currently in the sign of Pisces, Saturn makes its Retrograde station on the 17, urging us to navigate our emotional and spiritual boundaries, and intensifying the themes that have emerged since Saturn first moved into the water sign on March 7. Neptune Retrograde beginning on the 30 can help you understand the illusions in your life and let go of false beliefs in the Pisces area of your chart while amplifying themes of spirituality, intuition, dreams, illusion, addiction, fantasy, and longing.
The New Moon in Gemini arrives the evening of the 17. Fittingly, it has dual promises of fun and deep, subconscious transformation. Set intentions related to the thoughts you wish to focus on and how you’d like to do things differently while making time for pure joy.
The Summer Solstice arrives on June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, symbolizing a transition to even more light and more yang energy. Cancer season also begins, a time to become more resilient through vulnerability, and to remain brave in initiating new ways of being.
