This June, Gemini’s transitional energy of imaginative exploration flows into Cancer’s inborn emotionality and sensitivity. Cerebral, thought-driven air meets intuitive, nurturing water, providing ample opportunities for us to connect with others on an intellectual level and then deepen that connection through heart-to-heart contact.
We can take security this month in the fact that Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are all in direct motion. This is an ideal time to form new relationships, deepen existing connections, and tackle projects in earnest before Mercury slips back into retrograde in early August.
June 2024 Monthly Astrological Forecast
June kicks off with the Sun in Gemini (May 21-June 20), promising a period of curiosity, exploration, and an enhanced desire to connect and communicate. Gemini inspires us to be social butterflies, seeking stimulating conversation and forming new relationships with greater ease than at other times of the year. The twins of Gemini bring out a dual nature in us that enhances our adaptability and makes us more open to new ideas and connections. However, all that mutability has a dark side: it can be easier to lose sight of our own convictions and individuality, and sometimes the connections we form aren’t as deep as we first think.
As the month progresses, the sun will move into Cancer (June 21-July 21), tempering the outgoing changeability of the mutable air sign with the nurturing, compassionate energy of the cardinal water sign. Relationships you begin in the first half of the month will have a chance to mature and grow into steady, long-lasting connections. Use your deepened intuition to strengthen your bonds with others, while bearing in mind that you might be more sensitive than usual to negative energies and criticism.
Love Aspects as Influenced by the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Sun Signs Transits
June’s full moon will take place on the 21st, the day after the summer solstice. While the dominant energy at the beginning of the month is air – the element of mental acuity, analysis, and communication – we will embrace a transition into water on the 21st, and the enhanced intuition and emotional sensitivity that comes along with it.
Full Strawberry Moon in Capricorn – (June 21, 2024)
There is no better energy to support finishing projects and striving for success than the full moon in Capricorn – especially so close to the solstice. The long days stimulate us, making us feel alive and ready to take on the world, and the full moon in Capricorn supports that energy by giving us the focus to zero in on our goals and carry them to fruition.
This month, Capricorn’s grounded, rigid confidence is met with Cancer’s deep emotionality, which can create conflict as we try to balance our internal and external focuses. However, there is harmony to be found in integrating our emotional needs and desires with the external boundaries and systems that define the world around us. If you are thinking about asking out a love interest or popping the question, you might feel bolstered and encouraged by the marriage of cardinal earth and water around the Strawberry Moon!
Moon Ritual - Get a white stone or crystal (preferably moonstone or selenite), a black stone or crystal (such as onyx, obsidian, or black tourmaline), and a white candle. Meditate on the boundaries that keep you safe and focused on your goals – without blocking the desire to connect and be vulnerable with the people you love.
Mercury in Taurus Direct (May 15 – June 2)
Taurus has a stabilizing effect on changeable, talkative Mercury, making us less likely to ramble or get carried away by our imaginations and instead inspiring us to make concrete plans and take the time to say what we mean. Mercury in Taurus clashes with Sun in Gemini’s propensity for imaginative conversations and new ideas, so it is only fitting that the messenger planet will be moving on to more expansive pastures early in the month.
Mercury in Gemini Direct (June 3 – June 16)
As the ruler of Gemini, Mercury is right at home as it moves through the sign of the twins. Heightened mental acuity and sharpness is enhanced by Gemini’s curiosity and enthusiasm for exploration and social connection. With Mercury in direct motion, communication will be at an all-time high this month. You will be constantly inspired by the ideas and opinions of the people around you, and may find yourself particularly eager to explore relationships with those with whom you have stimulating conversations.
Watch out for an impulse to talk over others or be combative in asserting your opinion, as this can hurt new connections and give others the impression that you aren’t interested in what they have to say.
Mercury in Cancer Direct (June 17 – July 1)
As Mercury moves into Cancer, conversations will become more focused on feelings than ideas. The desire to deepen and define relationships through communication may overtake the impulse to seek out new connections.
Cancer’s influence on Mercury can make for emotionally charged conversations, inspiring us to speak from the heart. Use your judgment and remember to take others’ feelings into account as well as your own as you navigate the shift into deeper, more fulfilling communication.
Venus in Gemini Direct (May 23 - June 16)
As the ruler over desire, attraction, and love, Venus in Gemini inspires us to expand our hearts as well as our minds and seek connections in new and unexpected directions. Existing relationships might be challenged by this energy – or they might experience a “second honeymoon,” rife with stimulating conversations and a desire to explore new things together. A well-balanced relationship will thrive during this time, as each partner inspires the other with their charm, wit, and confidence.
Venus in Cancer Direct (June 17 – July 10)
Venus continues its direct movement into Cancer about halfway through the month, bringing with it a tide of deep feeling and emotional stability. Nurturers will feel bolstered and energized in their caretaking during this time, and those in long-term partnerships may feel inspired to recommit to each other or take their relationship to the next level.
A rivalry between Venus and Cancer’s ruler, the moon, may block some of these energies, so try not to get frustrated if your emotional wellspring is not as easily accessible as you expect it to be. Exercise patience and empathy for yourself and in your romantic and platonic relationships during this period.
Mars in Aries Direct (April 30 - June 8)
The daring, can-do attitude of Mars in Aries carries on through the first week of June, bringing a touch of aggression and fire to relationships and interactions at the dawn of the month. The red planet in the cardinal fire sign infuses Gemini’s propensity for conversation with a driven enthusiasm that can border on belligerence, so it is absolutely crucial to self-monitor during this period to ensure you’re not bulldozing over anyone’s boundaries. Expect a higher sex drive and an increase in passion that can feel overwhelming if it doesn’t have an outlet.
Mars in Taurus Direct (June 9 - July 20)
After spending more than a month in Aries, Mars will move on to Taurus in the second week of June. Fixed and steadfast Taurus slows down the raucous and action-oriented energy of Mars without diluting its confidence; if anything, you will have more trust in your ability to make decisions and in the lasting value of the connections you choose to form. Toward the end of the month, the sun’s transition into Cancer will create an ideal atmosphere for long-term commitments in your romantic life.

There is a lot of support this month for playing the long game, both in love and in other aspects of your life. Mars in Taurus infuses you with confidence and bolsters your communication with loved ones, making you more determined than ever to get what you want. Take advantage of this heightened energy to step out of your comfort zone and try the things you’ve been putting off so far this year. You may find yourself with the urge to brood or over-analyze your relationships when Venus in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces. Remember that this feeling is fleeting, and try not to make any major or lasting decisions during this time of insecurity.
Best days: June 2, 9, 11, 29
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
The Sun in Gemini conjunct to Venus in Gemini enhances your already sociable nature and makes you the life of the party. You’ll find yourself better equipped than ever to charm love interests with your loquaciousness and natural gifts for scintillating conversation. The new moon in Gemini activates your innate curiosity and inspires you to seek out new stimulation in your romantic pursuits. Be prepared for a slump on the 8th when Venus in Gemini squares Saturn in Pisces – you’ll find it easy to get distracted from your true desires, and you might also find yourself more apt than usual to overanalyze your current relationships.
Best days: June 4, 6, 14, 21
Cancer (June 21 – July 21)
The moon in Cancer trines Saturn in Aquarius heightens your focus and brings a clarifying energy to recent emotional pain and disappointments in your personal life.

Leo (July 22 – August 21)
The Moon in Leo trines Sun in Gemini fills you with the urge to connect with others through communication, both by sharing your own perspective and taking in the perspectives of those around you. A surge of fiery creativity ignites you when Vesta enters Leo, inspiring you to take center stage and show off your talents and accomplishments in their best light. A disagreement over values could produce friction between you and a loved one when the Sun squares Lilith. Breathe and work through your issues with a clear head to avoid saying things in the heat of the moment that you might wish you could take back later.
Best days: June 11, 13, 19, 21
Virgo (August 22 – September 21)
Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Gemini all conspire to coax you out of your comfort zone at the beginning of the month. Your natural elegance and poise shines through in conversations with people you feel at ease around, so if you are single, grab your favorite wingman and get mingling. A sudden emotional surge brought on by Mercury in Cancer conjunct to Venus in Cancer could prove overwhelming, so take some time in the second half of the month to center yourself and think methodically through your goals and desires.
Best days: June 2, 12, 21, 26
Libra (September 22 – October 21)
You will find it even easier than usual this month to charm and win over the people around you thanks to the friendly influence of Mercury and Virgo in Gemini – although with Mars in Aries at the beginning of the month, you run the risk of overdoing it. Mars moving into Taurus provides a stabilizing effect that keeps you grounded and in control. Diplomacy flourishes when Venus in Cancer is sextile to Mars in Taurus, providing a great opportunity to resolve any outstanding conflicts between loved ones.
Best days: June 3, 16, 28, 29
Scorpio (October 22 – November 21)
If you are on the shy or reserved side, you may find the abundance of social butterflies at the beginning of the month pretty overwhelming. Spending time with close friends and planning solo trips for yourself can help take the edge off and give you enough energy to indulge in the joys of the season with pleasure. Inner conflict spikes when the moon in Scorpio squares Pluto, requiring you to take a close look at your desires and parse out what you really want from what you think you should want.
Best days: June 4, 18, 24, 26
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
The dawn of June sees both Sun and Jupiter – Sagittarius’s ruler – in Gemini. The twins’ opposing force inspires adventure-loving, individualistic Sagittarius to consider channeling their tremendous wit and compassion into meaningful conversations with potential love interests. Jupiter trine Pluto brings a flood of self-confidence and the strength to transform your life for the better at the beginning of the month. Try not to get scared off by an increase in emotional sensitivity when the Sun transitions into Cancer. Instead, take advantage of the bolstering energy of Venus in Cancer sextile to Mars in Taurus to show off your romantic side to the ones you love.
Best days: June 4, 10, 17, 29
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
The Sun in Gemini sextile to the North Node provides clarity this month for communicating your life goals to your loved ones. Take advantage of the opportunity to tell those who may not be aware how much they mean to you and how they fit into your plan for the future. The full moon in Capricorn sheds light on your accomplishments and the hard work you have put in so far this year – seize the chance to celebrate yourself and bask in the appreciation of those who love you. Prepare yourself for the end of the month when Saturn goes retrograde in Pisces; you may find yourself thrown out of balance by a sudden inability to act with the discipline that usually comes so easily to you.
Best days: June 4, 20, 18, 21
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
This is a good month to step out of your comfort zone and share your unique perspective with others. The moon in Aquarius trines Jupiter in Taurus brings stability and helps you clarify your point of view on the people around you, particularly those you love. You will feel less of a tendency to overanalyze your words and more of a desire to share and connect with new people. The air is ripe for conflict between tradition and innovation when Mars in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius. Choose your battles carefully and remember that walking away is sometimes the best option when an argument gets too heated.
Best days: June 2, 6, 24, 30
Pisces (February 19 – March 21)
You will feel particularly inspired this month to flex your creative muscles. Talking with others about your passions will bolster you and help you stay focused on the end goal during a time of wild energy. Get lots of rest and take plenty of breaks during this social month to avoid burning out or becoming overstimulated, especially when the Sun in Gemini squares Pisces in Neptune on the 20th. Saturn goes retrograde in Pisces on June 29; if you’re striving to make a romantic connection, try to lay your cards on the table before then so that the sudden loss of focus doesn’t throw you off.
Best days: June 3, 10, 26, 28
