This is the calmest month of the year for most of us anyway. This is a time to catch your breath and get ready for July when we are back in the fray.

During the first 2 weeks of June, the May 31 Full Moon at 9 Sagittarius is still in effect. That Full Moon intensified our quest for the truth. There are still hidden corrupt matters to be uncovered.

The major news today is Mercury turning retrograde in Cancer on June 29 for most of July. Check out the house in your natal chart that contains Cancer. A few matters may take longer to achieve than you had planned. See Meaning of The Houses here.

And at the very end of June, Jupiter leaves Cancer to enter Leo for one year.

Highlights for this month:

Note to my Astrology Clients. Use your Planetary Placement and Ascendant sheet to find if you have a personal planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, or Mars) or the ascendant within 2 degrees of the degree of the transits listed below. If so, the transit will have a significant impact on you.

Jun 1 – Mercury enters Cancer and turns retrograde in Cancer on June 29. He will remain in regrade motion until July 23 and will not enter Leo until August 22. The mind and voice are deeply influenced by emotion, intuition, and memory. Instead of relying on pure logic, thinkers and communicators will process information through their feelings and prioritize emotional safety, empathy, and nurturing. Astrologically, Mercury represents how you process information and communicate, while Cancer is a water sign ruled by the Moon, symbolizing home, roots, and feelings.

Jun 3 – Mercury square Neptune at 4 degrees of Cancer/Aries. Fuzzy thinking. Beware of believing everything you hear or trusting everything you see on YouTube. AI is on the rise bringing deception and fake narratives.

Jun 9 – Venus Conjunct Jupiter at 25 degrees of Cancer. This is a highly auspicious, expansive astrological event that magnifies themes of love, joy, abundance, and pleasure. Typically occurring once every 10 to 15 months, this alignment generally blesses you with increased luck, social charisma, and a heightened desire to enjoy the finer things in life. Being a Saturn type, watching Jupiter Venus types enjoying themselves ( Yes, I mean you Sagittarius and Libra) depresses me). So I automatically look at the dark side of this aspect. For instance, this transit could see you diving into tubs of ice cream, getting fat, spending too much, money going broke and trusting the wrong people. Otherwise, it’s a good time to have a party.

Jun 10 – Mercury Square Saturn at 12 degrees of Cancer/Aries. This transits shows a clash between your ideas and practical limits causing mental friction, communication blocks, and self-doubt. It tests your patience, often leading to delays, heavy decision-making, or harsh feedback. However, it is an excellent time to edit, strategize, and focus on details. Navigating this transit successfully requires you to slow down, adjust your approach, and embrace its structured energy.

Jun 13 – Venus enters Leo until July 9. You express love and affection with passion, drama, and generous, grand gestures. You crave admiration, fun, and loyalty, treating romance like a grand performance where both you and your partner are in the spotlight. This is why Leo are known as showoffs.

Jun 14 – New Moon at 24 Gemini. This new moon invites you to integrate contrasting perspectives, renew your mindset, and plant seeds for new writing, learning, or networking projects.

Jun 16 – Venus Trine Neptune at 4 degrees of Leo/Aries. This is a magical, harmonious period that awakens deep compassion, romantic idealism, and artistic inspiration. This transit dissolves rigid boundaries, encouraging you to connect with others on a profoundly spiritual level. However, it can make you highly susceptible to power mad people trying to take a bite out of you. If you are a Pisces with lots of Neptune aspects in your birth chart. The Vampires will be out hunting you. Capricorns and Taurus types will be OK, nothing gets to them.

Jun 17 – Venus opposite Pluto at 5 degrees of Leo/Aquarius. This can be nasty. It can trigger intense, transformative energy in your relationships and finances. This aspect demands raw honesty, often bringing hidden power dynamics, jealousy, or deep-rooted control issues to the surface. The ultimate goal is to strip away superficial connections and heal toxic patterns. If you have personal planets at 3 to 5 degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Taurus or Scorpio maybe you need to get help before you destroy all of your relationships. You need to face your control issues, your possessiveness and how you try to manipulate others. Try not to fall for the Pluto person who is coming around. You will be able to spot them--he/she wears black clothes, doesn’t laugh, is somber, piercing eyes, and is very sexy - you know the type.

Jun 19 – Sun Enters Cancer until July 22. The Sun enters Cancer on June 21, coinciding with the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and marking the official start of summer. It’s outdoor barbecue time. Enjoy your home and family.

Jun 25 – Venus Trine Saturn at 13 degrees of Leo/Aries. Venus is being stabilized here. No more flirting and trying to be a honky-tonk woman. This transit blends passion with practicality, creating grounded, long-lasting commitments in both relationships and creative endeavors.

Sun Square Neptune at 4 degrees of Cancer/Aries. This is a foggy period where your vitality and sense of purpose may temporarily wane. Your energy is scattered. Recognize the difference between intuition and illusion. You are confused about your direction in life and you want to escape. Neptune rules water. To the beach, anyone?

Jun 28 – Mars enters Gemini until Aug 11. Our physical energy shifts toward communication, curiosity, and multitasking. Mars’s transit through Gemini brings a wave of rapid communication, curiosity, and mental agility. During this time your brain is ignited with fresh, out-of-the-box ideas. It is a fantastic period for writers, students, and journalists. You will find it easier to tackle research, learn new skills, and communicate your desires clearly. But be careful, Mars in Gemini can cause you to burn out from spreading your energy across too many projects at once. Additionally, because it pushes us to "speak our minds," words can act as weapons, leading to heated debates or impulsive arguments

Jun 29 – Mercury turns retrograde at 26 degrees of Cancer. And will remain retrograde until July 23. This transit asks that you focus on home, family dynamics, and emotional roots. You may find your feelings are easily hurt or that past domestic issues surface to demand your attention. Try not to panic if things seem unmanageable, but use this time to successfully self-reflect and reconnect with loved ones.

Full Moon at 8 Capricorn represents a powerful peak of energy focusing on achievement, boundaries, and long-term structures. This Full Moon will ground us demanding practical results, responsibility and ambition.

June 31 – Jupiter moves into Leo until Nov 2027. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck, transits the fiery and expressive sign of Leo. During this cycle, themes of creativity, confidence, leadership, and bold self-expression are amplified. It is a period for taking courageous leaps, celebrating your individuality, and stepping into the spotlight. More about this transit next month.

OUTER PLANET TRANSITS FOR JUNE 2026

JUPITER is in Cancer until July 1 2026. This month he travels from 24 to 29 degrees of Cancer. Jupiter is expansive by nature, amplifying whatever it touches. In Cancer, its influence centers on home, family, and emotional foundations. You may feel a stronger pull toward domestic life or nurturing connections. At times, this can manifest as crowded schedules, increased family involvement, or unexpected developments within the household. While this transit often brings blessings and growth, it can also feel overwhelming if boundaries are unclear—especially for those with natal planets between 22 degrees of Cancer or Capricorn and 2 degrees of Leo.

SATURN is in the fiery, assertive sign of Aries. This month he will move from 12 to 14 degrees of Aries. Saturn governs structure, discipline, and the material aspects of life. If your ascendant or personal planets fall between 10 to 16 degrees of Aries, you may encounter lessons that highlight responsibilities connected to the house Aries occupies in your chart. Saturn in Aries encourages greater self-reliance, confidence, and focused action toward long-term goals, particularly in career and personal ambition.

URANUS is in Gemini until August 13, 2040. This month he moves from 2 to 3 degrees of Gemini. Uranus symbolizes change, awakening, and liberation, often prompting sudden shifts that lead to greater authenticity. If Uranus forms strong aspects to your ascendant or personal planets—especially between 0 and 5 degrees of Gemini or Sagittarius—you may feel an urge to break free from limiting patterns. This can be a powerful period to embrace change intentionally rather than resist it.

NEPTUNE travels through Aries all month, and stays at 4 degrees. Those with ascendants or personal planets between 2 to 6 degrees of Aries may experience heightened sensitivity, periods of uncertainty, or a search for clarity. Neptune can blur boundaries but also inspires creativity, spirituality, and compassion. Having spent many years in Pisces since 2011, Neptune’s move into Aries marks a shift from passive reflection to active imagination, encouraging individuals to envision a future shaped by courage and initiative.

PLUTO remains in Aquarius until 2043, This month he is moving retrograde from 5 to 4 degrees of Aquarius. Pluto’s influence is transformative, often bringing deep psychological material to the surface for examination and renewal. Those with ascendants or personal planets between 2 through 6 degrees Aquarius may feel this energy most strongly. Pluto’s process can be intense, yet it ultimately supports empowerment by revealing what must be released in order for growth and rebirth to occur.

Let’s co-create the future together.
