Your Weekly Horoscope Predicts Shock, Surprises and Secrets—Here’s Why

Your horoscope for the week of June 12 to 18 is setting the stage for a summer of unexpected plot twists and adventure. There are several key transits to keep an eye out for this month; and trust us, you’ll need all the energy you can muster to make it to the weekend. Luckily, there are also a few bright spots in the Astro forecast that will help keep your spirits high.

The week starts out with a retrograde Pluto re-entering the sign of Capricorn on the same day Mercury moves into Gemini on June 11. This shift in the stars could cause some explosive information to bubble to the surface–and it might be difficult to keep yourself from gossiping about what you know. Be mindful of who you share your secrets with.

The Moon will connect with Mars and Venus on June 14 to give you the chance to get curious about what lights your fire. When these three planets come together, it’s almost impossible to keep ourselves from expressing how we feel. This energetic alignment may also have you feeling sentimental about a past version of yourself.

And finally, the weekend might have you feeling like you’re entering another dimension thanks to a New Moon in Gemini and Saturn stationing retrograde Pisces on June 17. When Saturn, the planet of structure and routine, goes retrograde–it can feel like all of the boundaries holding us back have suddenly disappeared.

Aries are known for impulsivity, and this week you’ll want to be extra careful to think before you act. Ask yourself if where you’re at right now is where you want to be. It may feel tempting to say what’s on your mind when Mercury moves into Gemini—but it’s best to wait until you have all the information. Don’t allow yourself to be pressured into making decisions that you might regret later. Instead, focus on the big picture and ask yourself how what you’re doing today benefits your dreams tomorrow.
