Particularly on June 4, which features a Mercury-Jupiter and a Venus-Sun conjunction in Gemini, your daily devotional practice renews itself to commit to the thing that’s fully grabbed your attention and curiosity. You might be on fire with your morning journaling, plugging away bit by bit at your novel, or finding time to read again. You might also be reconnecting with your siblings, cousins, and besties in a meaningful way, or becoming more invested in your local scene. This month, look for the kindred spirits showing up at your side, and embrace the connections fully.
More day and weekend trips out of town could also be on the menu with this planetary weather, but watch your wallet, because it’ll be easier to burn through your stash once Mars enters Taurus on June 9. Yes, this might partially be a hangover from last month’s indulgences, or a credit card balance coming due. This may also present as a cosmic imperative to hold your ground or defend what’s yours, especially between June 9 and 11.
After Mercury and Venus sail into Cancer on June 17, you’ll be heeding the homebody siren song, or more likely, feeling pulled into closer communion with your roots. Hosting friends and family at your home can be a satisfying use of this energy, but so can pulling out the recipes, songs, and handicrafts of your ancestors. Perhaps a pilgrimage to one of your heritage places is the ticket?
Taurus Rising
The wheels in your mind have been actively spinning lately, and this month, they get busy cooking up new income-generating ideas. On June 4, when Mercury conjoins Jupiter and Venus conjoins the Sun in your second house of money and resources, your inner salesperson is activated. This could be the right time to monetize an offering, ask for a raise, adjust your prices, or buy that investment piece you’ve had your eye on. Just be aware that Venus will square Saturn on June 8, which could present as some initial disinterest in what you’ve got to offer. You know a good idea when you know a good idea, and you also know your own value. Don’t get discouraged—just keep refining your pitch. Growth will come, but it’ll be slow and patient going over the next year.
While your market stall becomes a livelier place in June, you may also find yourself needing to become somewhat more cut-throat to get ahead, or defend your turf. Mars enters Taurus on June 9, and over the next couple of days, it approaches a square to Pluto. No, you’re not beating the “bull-headed,” “obstinate” allegations. But who, or what, is raising your hackles in the first place? You may need to swap your usually peaceful comportment for a more formidable one, but be mindful that your sacred self-defense doesn’t become hard-headedness.
In any case, the second half of the month looks livelier from a social perspective, and maybe you’ll be traveling to visit some friends or cousins you haven’t seen in a while. Mercury and Venus enter Cancer on June 17, and there’s a Full Moon in Capricorn, your ninth house of long journeys, on June 21. This summer solstice is a popping one, and it may involve going on, or pulling the trigger on, a long-awaited trip. If nothing else, make time for philosophical banter over coffee with your faves. Your perspective is ripening, and this can catalyze some shifts that make your world bigger.
Gemini Rising
June is frequently your time to shine, but this year’s Gemini Season puts the confetti sprinkles on your cake. During the first half of the month especially, there’s a party happening in your rising sign, and you’ll be feeling celebrated and/or celebratory—perhaps as a direct result of something you’re launching into the world. That “something” can be as loud as a big career announcement, or as subtle as a personal glow-up. A renewed sense of confidence and self-knowledge is worth shouting about from the rooftops too, you know.
