June 30 brings the second Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn this year. The first planetary alignment occurred on April 4, and the third connection will happen on November 12. This is a big one, so mark your calendar!

This time around, both Jupiter and Pluto are retrograde. Remember the goals we manifested in April? Well, we’re rethinking and revising them now. This is a time to assert our dreams and to take action toward our goals. But now that both Jupiter and Pluto are backspinning, we may have second thoughts—in fact, we may be regretting the actions we took to pursue our goals. Was crushing the competition really necessary after all?

The Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn last occurred in the 1770s, coinciding with the Russian Plague and resulting quarantine—so it’s interesting that 2020’s Jupiter-Pluto conjunction in Capricorn is taking place during the coronavirus pandemic. Right now, the country is beginning to open up restaurants and bars, which didn’t seem like a possibility in April. Let’s hope it goes well.

Here’s what this conjunction means for you:

Aries

You’re not feeling so hot when it comes to your career. You’re being ignored, and good luck getting an ounce of praise or thanks. However, you can use your frustrations to manifest a new professional path in which you’ll be more appreciated.

Taurus

Intense, life-changing experiences will come from embracing higher-minded ideals. Just don’t expect your friends and family to follow your lead. You might have to go solo for a while.

Gemini

By using your own personal history as reference, you can help others open their hearts. Talk to your crew and you can help them evolve, even if you’re unsure about your own future right now.

Cancer

Love is a battleground, but you can overcome the drama by having a heart-to-heart with your boo/crush/FWB. Giving your all to your relationship is great—if it’s reciprocated. But if it’s not, it’s time to move on. Thank you, next!

Leo

It’s easier than ever to find answers to issues that have plagued you. However, you may uncover more truths than you’re ready to hear. Use this information to your advantage, and work on becoming the most evolved version of yourself.

Virgo

Love doesn’t come easy these days for you, Virgo. Every step forward is followed by one giant leap backward. Rather than argue with your boo/crush/FWB, talk about what you want from each other and how you can grow together.

Libra

This is how you win, Libra. You know what you want, so keep pursuing it, even if it takes a few tries. Don’t let minor setbacks stop you. Be brave and bold, and you can get what you want.

Scorpio

You’re the zodiac’s detective—you always want to uncover the full story about what’s going on. Well, be prepared for some major truth bombs. They might be hard to hear, but they’ll bring you clarity.

Sagittarius

You’re so consumed with material sh*t that you’ve lost track of your spiritual and intellectual compass. It may be hard, but put down your credit card. Spend some time thinking about what really matters instead.

Capricorn

You’re so occupied with winning that you aren’t seeing clearly. Contrary to what you’re feeling, life isn’t about who has the most IG followers. Take a moment to pay attention to all the small, beautiful things around you—and maybe log off for a few days.

Aquarius

You want to go deep, Aquarius, but are you ready for all your old feelings to resurface? It’s hard, but you have the opportunity to heal from the past. If you allow yourself to let go of pain and heartache, you’ll feel reborn.

Pisces

Current events are forcing you to change, even if you’re not ready for it. In order to make this transition as painless as possible, you’ll have to lean into what motivates you. Live your dreams.
