Your June Horoscope Is Here, And You Need To 'Be Strategic' Before Making Any Big Moves
To quote iconic film franchise High School Musical, what time is it? SUMMER TIME! So as the weather warms up, what’s going on...in the skies above? Donna Page, a professional astrologer with a graduate degree in counseling psychology based in Atlanta, is here with all of the tea to prepare your zodiac sign for vacation season.
“There is an energy of redoing things and slowing the pace,” says Page. “While there could be four areas in which you want something done yesterday, the planets are telling you to slow it down. How do you get what you want? Be strategic about it.” Basically, it’s chess, not checkers, astrology lovers. This month is about planning the perfect moves to propel you forward for the rest of the season.
Two major shifts in the sky are Saturn, the planet that highlights your life’s purpose, and Neptune, the planet that deals with your dream life, both moving retrograde. This ups the ante on the energy of both planets, which could lead to major transformations across the zodiac. Other dates of importance: There will be a full moon in Sagittarius on the 3rd, and Venus, the planet that rules over love, moves into fiery Leo on the 5th. Mercury, the planet that deals with communication, also shifts twice this month, opening the door for any deep convos you avoided while this planet was retrograde last month. Naturally, the new moon in Gemini closes out this air sign season, and on the 21st–with the summer solstice–we jump right into watery, intuitive Cancer season.
What does all this mean for you? Ahead, Page shares her June 2023 horoscope predications for every zodiac sign:
ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 19)
You are feeling fired TF up this month, Aries, and with good astrological reason! The full moon in fellow fire sign Sagittarius on the 3rd starts things off hot—in a good way. Expect to feel extra motivated, especially in the days that follow, as Mars, your ruler and the planet of action, lights up your house of professional pursuits. Looking for a promotion, a new job, a title change, a salary increase (or all of the above)? Now is the time to advocate for yourself. Just make sure you have your evidence prepared beforehand...this is time for diplomacy, not rash demands.
On the 18th, the new moon in Gemini brings easy communication into your life, inspiring you to, as Madonna would say, express yourself. Whether it’s at work, with friends, or in love, it's important to share what's on your mind. Of course, there are lots of ways of self-expression–conversation, creating art, journaling, even networking. Pick what feels best for you and let it ride. Venus, the planet that rules your love life, enters fellow fire sign Leo this month, adding even more creative fuel to your fire. This month is full of opportunities for you, Aries—all you have to do is pick a direction.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 - MAY 20)
Opportunities for growth are flowing your way this month, Taurus, starting with the full moon in Sagittarius on the 3rd. This lunation is in a part of your chart focused on career and money, highlighting your need for give and take. Translation: This is a great time to check in with yourself and see if you are being fairly compensated. If not, it’s time to speak up, and put together your research. Go get that raise, Taurus!
Also of note...Venus, your ruler and the planet that reigns over love, is moving into Leo, bringing a real emphasis to family and creating a cozy, safe haven for yourself. June is definitely a month ripe with opportunities for home improvement projects. Organize those closets, buy that table you’ve been eyeing at the thrift store, and make sure to schedule a Buy Plants and Drink Iced Coffee Date™ with your bestie.
By the time the new moon in Gemini rolls through on the 18th, you’ll feel more focused on money, as you may be presented with an opportunity for financial growth and abundance. Seize the opportunity—you need money to lead the luxurious lifestyle you love! And when Mars, the planet of action, moves into Leo near the end of the month, your motivation will be dialed up another notch. Take advantage of this planetary energy and plan some creative projects. The world is at your fingertips!
GEMINI (MAY 21 - JUNE 20)
The planets are aligned for you to have a pretty fabulous month, Gemini! The Full Moon in your astrological opposite, Sagittarius, has you ready to hit the town and keep the birthday celebrations going well into June, as is your right! Venus, the planet that rules our love lives, moves into Leo this month, highlighting your communication skills. You may find it easier than ever to share what’s on your mind, which is convenient because you’re charged up and ready to move ahead at work with networking opportunities and salary negotiations. This energy only becomes stronger on the 18th, with the New Moon in your sign highlighting new beginnings and personal growth. If you have been putting off taking a class to sharpen skills, or even just to expand your mind, this is a perfect opportunity to do so! Mars, the action planet, also moves into fiery Leo this month, which adds even more motivation and drive to your plans. You’re basically on fire, Gemini, and there are many financial opportunities should you choose to take them. As the sun moves into Cancer at the end of the month, your focus will shift to your values. Does your life now feel aligned with the one you desire to live in the future? If not, take steps to match the two.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 22)
Cancer, get ready! Because transformative, introspective June is in store for you, as we approach Cancer season on the 21st – also the day of the summer solstice! You can expect big shifts in your day-to-day life as you dive into shadow work and your inner world, leading to some pretty big breakthroughs. This month starts on a powerful note for you, Cancer, as Venus, the planet that rules our love lives, moves into fiery Leo, only upping the ante on your usual charm and magnetism. It may feel like everyone wants something from you this month. (And why wouldn’t they – you’re totally crushing it!) While it is definitely in your sensitive nature to prioritize everyone else BEFORE yourself...consider this a sign to fill your self-love cup first, or you risk burnout. So back to that big energy of change....when the New Moon in Gemini comes around on the 18th, it puts a spotlight on your spiritual practice. If you’ve been slacking on the rituals that keep you running smoothly – perhaps it’s meditating, a Hot Person Walk, your journaling practice – it is time to get back on track. If you want to level up this month, make sure you’re taking care of yourself! When the sun enters Cancer near the end of the month, it is your time to shine! Let your intuition and emotions be your guide, as you prepare for a fun-filled birthday season.
LEO (JULY 23 - AUGUST 22)
Leo, you’ve been patient in your career these last few months...keeping your head down, doing your best work possible, and really just stepping it up. Well, I’m happy to report that you will be rewarded in June, as Jupiter, the planet of expansion, moves into your house of career! This is your time to shine, literally and metaphorically. So give people something to look at! Show them all of your creative ideas that will *totally* make your company buckets of money or whatever you have cooking up in that beautiful brain of yours. Chances are, people will be receptive! As the sun moves into Cancer, you’ll be feeling a bit reflective because your birthday season is almost here! Take stock of all that’s happened over the last year, and perhaps make a vision board. Your next turn around the sun is about to be epic, so get ready Leo babes!
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 - SEPTEMBER 22)
Virgo, June starts out on an introspective note for you; with the Full Moon in Sag landing in a part of your chart that deals with the subconscious. It’s possible this will illuminate new perspectives on your life. Maybe you’re not as excited about that job, or new person you’ve been talking to as you thought you were. Sometimes all it takes is a little mindset shift to uncover the truth of the situation. While this can be a bit emotionally and mentally challenging, you’re up for it, Virgo, and it will ultimately lead you to a more authentic and fulfilling place in your life. Mercury, the planet that rules our communication, is popping into Gemini this month, leading to a great time for communication and career acceleration. Keep your eyes on LinkedIn for any new positions that may catch your eye, and definitely let your circle know you’re ready to uplevel. Your work bestie just might know of the perfect new spot for you. The New Moon in Gemini on the 18th will solidify any new career plans or projects you’ve been kicking around, so get ready to take action! By the time the summer solstice and Cancer season arrives, you’ll be ready for some much-needed R&R with the people you love the most. Book a weekend away by the beach or just a fun-filled day for you and the besties to recharge!
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 - OCTOBER 22)
Feeling bolder and chattier than usual, Libra? You can thank the Full Moon in Sagittarius for this, as your month starts with the illumination of your house of communication, which can lead to major developments in your personal and professional life. This is a great time to share any new tips and tricks you’ve found to make your work more efficient and really show yourself as a leader. (You know you have it in you!) If you need a bit of a boost in the skills department on your resume, consider taking a certificate program or class that can make you even more marketable. It’s possible a major job opportunity could float across your desk sometime soon, and you want to be prepared! The New Moon in Gemini on the 18th doubles down on the importance of education in your life and puts you in the mindset to buckle down and become the best version of yourself. And what could be more beautiful than that? By the time the sun moves into Cancer and the summer solstice arrives on the 21st, you’ll be feeling the recognition you’ve been craving at work and in your personal life. Soak it in, Libra; you’ve worked hard for this!
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21)
Scorpio, the Full Moon in Sagittarius, is putting a laser-sharp focus on your career and your financial goals. Before you skip over to the next sign...this is going to be a good thing for you once you get past any preconceived ickiness you feel around budgeting. Scorp, you have a love for the finer things in life, but sometimes we all must make sacrifices on the little splurges to reach our greater financial goals. So cool it on the Amazon purchases and direct that money into a High Yield Savings Account or some other fiscally responsible venture. You’re longing for a paycheck that can fund your dreams. Whether traveling the world, buying a home, throwing an epic birthday celebration, or some combination of the three, you can’t live a lavish life if you don’t pay attention to what is coming and going in your bank account. Sorry! The good news is Mars, the planet of action, is in your house of career, providing even more motivation to get your sh*t together, and secure financial well-being. When the sun moves into Cancer, a fellow water sign, you’ll feel a bit of that pressure ease up, and a greater sense of ease and emotional flow. Consider this the reward for all the hard work you can get done at the beginning of the month!
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 21)
Happy Full Moon month, Sagittarius! It's time to live it up and embrace the fun-loving energy that comes with this time. Call up the gang, and plan an epic weekend for you all – music, drinks, elaborate outfits, whacky conversations...all the things you love! You may find yourself playing a bit of the devil’s advocate during this time, though, let’s be real...when do you not? But this trait will be embraced by your circle as you draw out thought-provoking chats. This time is all about your personal growth and freedom, though, so make sure you are staying true to yourself and what makes you feel recharged. The New Moon in Gemini on the 18th has you feeling unusually idealistic, especially when it comes to love. Venus, the planet that rules our love lives, is also in fellow fire sign Leo, adding even more heat to your romantic relationships. This a great time to get clear on who and what you want in a partner and make sure that lines up with who you are currently dating (if you are). Share your dreams and plans for the future with that special someone...if you don’t tell them what you desire, it’s hard to get on the same page. When the sun enters Cancer at the end of the month, it highlights the intimacy in your partnerships even further. Stay open – honesty can lead to a much closer, healthier bond.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 19)
Feeling a bit burnt out this month, Capricorn? It happens to the best of us! The Full Moon in Sagittarius highlights 12th House, which is associated with retreating from the world. Not only is this energy encouraging you to go into hermit mode (at least for a few days) to recharge, but it is shining a big, uncomfortable spotlight, on the ways you may be holding yourself back. Are you stopping yourself from throwing your hat into the ring for that new promotion because of your imposter syndrome? The Full Moon is telling you — stop it! Calculated risks pay off. The New Moon in Gemini is in your house of the daily grind, which presents tons of opportunities for new projects, and fresh starts, which is perfect, if you’ve done the work to move through any emotional blockages at the beginning of the month. Focus on all you have to offer, maintain your Big Workhorse Energy, and most importantly, shoot your shot, Cap!
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18)
Aquarius, the Full Moon in Sagittarius, illuminates your house of friendships, bringing joy and fun to your social connections. Yay! As an Aquarius, you seek out...weirdos! Much like your unique and unconventional self. The beautiful thing about this trait is it brings unconventional ideas and adventures into your life, which really gets you charged up! This Full Moon is about embracing your desire for freedom and getting out of the boxes people put you in. Chatting with your friends about this could be just the medicine you need. However, before you jump into some farfetched (expensive) venture, check on your finances here. Practicality and affordability are of the essence here! Mars, the planet of action, is in your house of partnerships this month. Translation? You’re feeling a real push-pull dynamic between what YOU want, and what bae (or potential bae) desires. Compromise and understanding is important, but not at the expense of your own goals. Venus, entering Leo in your house of other people, will bring harmonious energy to your life that should smooth some of this friction out.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 20)
Pisces, you are feeling hyped up and ready to go this month, thanks, in part, to the Full Moon in Sag on the third. It’s shining a light on your house of recognition and career, making this an excellent time to go after what you want and get that promotion you deserve! But before you start throwing out demands in the workplace, do your research, and come up with a compelling pitch. Why do you deserve to move up in your place of business or in your career at large? When you get clear on this, the opportunities will start to flow. Saturn, the planet that rules over our ambition and life’s path, is in your sign for the next few years, so it’s important to focus on your long-term goals. The New Moon in Gemini is bringing up your subconscious and is closely tied to dreamy Neptune (which is also retrograde this month!) This is a perfect time to bring your artistic vision to life and really get things moving at home and work this month! Venus, the planet that rules our love lives, is in Leo, emphasizing the importance of routines in attracting and maintaining love of all kinds in your life. The key here is finding a balance between spontaneity and the beauty of everyday rituals.
