All leaders need followers, and likewise, most performances require an audience. How can you build a community to support your endeavors, darling Leo? As the sun moves across the Gemini sky, the radiant star illuminates the area of your chart connected to teamwork and collaboration. Suddenly, you realize that you're indirectly linked to some very influential people. This is a great time to reach out and introduce yourself: Fortune favors the go-getters.

On Wednesday, June 13, a new moon in Gemini will provide an excellent opportunity to plant the seeds of future projects. New moons correspond with beginnings, so during this lunation, focus on ways you can cultivate and sustain an extended network that shares your values, supports your ambition, and, yes, celebrates your talents.

But that's not all: Gemini is symbolized by the twins, and accordingly, there's a second important astral occurrence on Wednesday, June 13: At 5:53 p.m. (EST), Venus moves into your own sign. Although your birthday season doesn't kick off until July 23, when the planet of love, beauty, and money sashays in, it's a huge cosmic deal. Expect to be craving epic, cinematic romance through July 9. You'll want to be admired, pampered, and adored, and in turn, you'll be thrilled to share the warm, generous affection that defines the Leo spirit. Cupid's arrows will be pointed in your direction, so look out for some seriously steamy summer nights.

Then, on June 21, the sun moves into Cancer, your zodiacal neighbor. As you begin preparing for your solar return, the Cancer spirit activates your psychic zone, encouraging you to take emotional inventory. You've evolved tremendously over the past year, and now is the time to reflect on exactly what has changed: Which areas of your life have developed, and which are stuck in the past? If your current realities are holding you back, the next few weeks will be an important time to release dead weight. Remember, by letting go of what no longer serves your soul, you make room for exciting opportunities.

When we think of retrogrades, communicative Mercury often comes to mind, but that's mostly because Mercury goes reverse so frequently — three or four times a year, in fact. The truth is that all planets have backward-moving cycles. Happening only every two years, Mars retrograde is the rarest, and on Tuesday, June 26, the red planet will begin one of these infrequent about-faces.

Through August 27, Mars will be reversing in your partnership zone, so you can definitely expect some significant interpersonal shifts through your birthday season. But don't fret, lion love: This is a time for reflection, not necessarily action. This transit won't necessarily fuel dramatic breakups, but if something clearly isn't working, it may be time to have some honest dialogues with your partner.

On Thursday, June 28, a full moon in Capricorn will activate the area of your chart linked to daily routines, health, and wellness. Let's face it: When lethargy sets in, it's not easy to find motivation. Rather than beat yourself up about what you're not doing, shift your perspective to the internal domain. How do you feel emotionally? Are your needs and wants being met? Ultimately, our physical output is directly correlated with our internal experiences.

Embrace this lunation by finding the light within the darkness and focusing on practices that nourish you. Milk Makeup's Matcha Toner Mini fits in with this goal nicely, offering your skin dynamic hydration, a cooling sensation, and on-the-go revitalization. As you reevaluate your day-to-day schedule, easy-to-use products like these are your best bet for healthy skin without extra fuss.
