What June's Gemini Horoscope Means for You

It takes the sun approximately one year to complete a full rotation. We track the sun's orbit in years, celebrating our birthdays when the sun returns to its exact position at the moment of our birth (fittingly, astrologers often refer to birthdays as "solar returns"). Solar returns are invigorating: When the radiant star illuminates our zodiac sign, we feel renewed, restored, and revitalized. Simply put, our birthday season is our time to shine.

On Wednesday, June 13, the moon — the celestial body that governs emotions — will meet the sun in your own sign, perfectly aligning your inner and outer worlds. This lunation will signify exciting beginning, so embrace this new cycle by setting goals and creating manifestations that support your hopes and dreams.

In perfect Gemini season style (the sign is symbolized by the twins), another cosmic event on June 13 will put you in an extra chatty mood. Romantic Venus moves into Leo, highlighting the area of your chart connected to your communication, peers, and your local network. Through July 9, don't be surprised if intriguing flirtations pop up in unexpected places. What exactly happens when friends become lovers? You'll be sure to find out later this month. But don't fret, Gemini babe: You're no strange to duality, so go ahead and celebrate your playful sensibilities.

Alas, your birthday season concludes on Thursday, June 21, when the sun shifts into watery Cancer — but that doesn't mean the party is over. The sun's glide will activate the area of your chart connected to personal finances, so this is a great time for monetary growth. If you went a little too hard during your birthday season, the sun's movement will help get you and your bank account back on the right track. If you're strapped for cash, consider a side hustle that could help with this shortfall. Money can't buy happiness, but an extra source of income could help you feel more secure.

Mars's retrograde begins on Tuesday, June 26, when the planet of action goes reverse in the sky. Retrogrades are often associated with Mercury, your planetary ruler, but in fact, all planets go backward at some point. This year, Mars's about-face spins across Aquarius, the like-minded air sign that triggers your discovery and expansion zone.

Have you bitten off more than you chew, Gemini? Through August 27, Mars's cycle will encourage you to slow down your pace. Use this period as an opportunity for reflection: The changes you're making are meaningful, but everything, especially personal growth, takes time. You don't need to rush the journey.

June concludes with a full moon in Capricorn on Thursday, June 28. This nocturnal illumination will activate your eighth house, the mysterious area of your chart connected to deep emotions and radical transformation. Under the moon's mystical light, you'll be able to explore the dark recesses of your psyche: This is your chance to look under the hood, so go ahead and poke around. The universe will always reward fearless self-discovery.
