Your Monthly Horoscopes: June 2018

June is an interesting month as the heavens push us to communicate with vulnerability and honesty while also holding onto our idealism. The energy is nearly chaotic as it ebbs and flows, sometimes highly emotional and passionate, and at other times completely cerebral and detached.

It's a dizzying and sometimes confusing blend of energy that's tricky to get a hold of. But regardless of whether or not you can make sense of everything that's swirling about, the key is to act on what feels right to you and you alone, even if it looks strange to others. Mars the planet of action and drive is in the revolutionary sign of Aquarius and on June 27, he turns retrograde, allowing us to review how willing we've been to march to the beat of our own drum and how brave we feel about standing in our own uniqueness even if we're misunderstood.

The axis of Leo - Aquarius reminds us everyone in the collective gets to shine, and that without our willingness to stand out and be different, progress comes to a standstill. This month, challenge yourself to be in the chaotic mix and respond to in ways that feel authentic and true to you regardless of what's expected. In doing so, you'll see exactly what you're made of and how far you can go despite what the world may tell you. Click through the gallery below to learn what June has in store for your love, health, and career according to your zodiac sign:

Aries

June is a month of reflection and appreciating how far you've come since the beginning of the year, Aries. After slaying dragons and leveling up like a boss during the last six months, you get to wind down a bit and pay attention to your needs. If you've been feeling overworked or stressed from the amount of heavy lifting and obstacles you've had to overcome, use the first three weeks of June to decompress your mind, dump it out onto paper, document, and release your thoughts, as opposed to carrying it all in your head. Health is maintained by creating to-do lists that keep you on task but also leave you time to daydream and connect with your upcoming vision of the future.

Use the energy between June 5th through 7th to connect with close friends that you can confide in about what you want manifest next. The desire to lay low at home will be strong until around the 13th when Venus in Leo moves into your House of Romance and Creativity, pushing you to go out and fall in Love with life again. It's okay to play, Aries. You're learning how to strike a healthy Career and home balance that doesn't leave you drained or missing out on important family occasions. The Full Moon in the 28th will point out old patterns around your work that may have to be surrendered so that you can feel both fulfilled and challenged by the work that you do without it taking over your life completely.

Taurus

With Uranus shaking up your soul perspective, Health is maintained when you sit down to consider all the warring aspects of yourself that need to be satisfied so that you can function from a place of peace. There's you, your changing world view as you let go of limiting ideas of who you can be. There's Mars spending extra time and energy in your House of Career and Reputation pushing you to assert yourself in your work to make a mark and potentially throw hands at anyone who gets in your way (try not please, especially not during his retrograde starting June 27th).

And then there are your relationships with family, friends and lovers who're also demanding your time and attention. What's a steady, stable Bull to do, Taurus? The only response is to evolve with the demands and go with the flow, even if it pushes you out of your comfort zone. Venus the planet of Love will move into your Home sector on June 13th and demand that you take pride in where you've come from while also cherishing how a healthy homebase is the starting point for everything else in your life. Rest up as as you learn to juggle your changing reality. The pace will only pick up from here so it's best to prepare rather than deny the inevitable.

Gemini

June offers you the unique opportunity to look yourself in the eye and see if you like what you see, Gemini. The first week of the month has Neptune, the planet of Illusion and Spirituality touching upon your sense of self and the way that you communicate, so try not to get lost in the image of who you think you are, as it may not be the reality. Neptune is tricky as he can present our highest dreamlike possibilities of who we aspire to be and he can also present lies and fake news. Don't get caught up in falsehoods, especially when it comes to your Career and reputation. You can still be who you wish to be in the long-term without faking it or misleading yourself or others. Part of staying honest means learning to Love and respect what you value without hesitation or regret. If it works for you, own it. If it doesn't, toss it.

The Full Moon on the 28th will have you noticing what patterns need to be ended around what you're passionate about and want to work for seriously, and how they relate to your beliefs and values. The secret to your Health and peace of mind is being brave enough to stay in your own lane and not chase down what you think is the current wave. Sound like any other Geminis you know? Everything starts with you first. Decide who you want to be and the rest will follow.

Cancer

You're going to be chilling out for the first two weeks of the month, Cancer. After a few months of dealing with the heavy demands of relationships and career, it's time to plant a new dream for yourself going forward. The New Moon on the 13th will ask you to connect with your heart and soul for who and what you want to be next. You'll be better able to express yourself and communicate your needs in Love when Mercury enters your sign and has you speaking from the heart. You'll have to learn to stand your ground around the 16th when Saturn pushes back at you in the form of demanding, hard nosed people in your life who seem like they want to tell you "no" at every turn.

Don't take anything to heart, it's just a challenge to see if you can maintain your boundaries, as part of maintaining your Health requires you to know your limits and not overextend yourself trying to take care of other people's emotional needs and desires ahead of your own. Stay in your lane and stay in your own passion, Crab. Identify what you want, connect with your deeper drives and passions, and keep your eyes on your own paper. Keeping this internal focus will support you in your Career, as work becomes much easier when you're doing it for you as opposed to everyone else.

Leo

You get to enjoy rebranding yourself with Uranus electrifying your Career and reputation, Leo. As you envision what kind of impact you want to leave upon the world, you'll also have to consider who in your network is on the same page with you. The New Moon on the 13th will ask you to focus on what's the overarching hope and wish for the future and who will be by your side to assist you in making those wishes come true. Know that not everyone is going to agree with what you're dreaming of, and that's okay. Honesty is a form of Love and with Mars spending time in your House of Partnership for the next few months, know that your lovers and partners will have no problem telling you what's what and how you can do better. Try not to fall into unnecessary fights because of bruised egos.

Ultimately, this is all for your growth even if ruffles your feathers. The Full Moon on the 28th will be highlighting your Health and asking you to assess how your underlying fears and unwillingness to appear vulnerable to others may be blocking you from receiving the care that you need. Don't wait til the last minute to get your physical and emotional needs met, Leo. The name of the game is responsibility and accountability when it comes to your wellbeing. If you're feeling overstimulated, take a break from the world when you need to, I promise it won't fall apart without you.

Virgo

Congratulate yourself Virgo because you stuck to your creative principles even when it seemed like you were only getting but so far. June is the month that you can see clearly that your hard work is definitely paying off as you reach new heights in your Career. This is just the beginning for you, so be sure to use the New Moon in the 13th to set new intentions and goals about what you want to achieve next. Remind yourself that your work requires you to take your creativity and the things that bring you joy seriously, not as a side but as a main course. Mars in your House of Health and Daily Routines has been pushing you to get more done in unique ways so work with him but also pay attention to the snags you hit during your day to day, as well as how you feel in your body since his retrograde starting on the 27th will bring up these issues to be addressed.

There's a such thing as delegating and teamwork too just in case you're thinking that burnout is the only way to get thing done. It's not. Opening yourself up to being supported by others also brings in opportunities for love in your life, Virgo. It's a social month, so be amongst the people who share your interests and want to support you. The Full Moon tied up with serious Saturn in your House of Romance and Creativity on the 28th may have you letting go of old patterns that block your Love blessings so that you can finally get you the hugs, kisses, and giggles you've been missing out on.

Libra

Sky is the limit and you know that you keep on, Just keep on pressin' on is you mantra for the month Libra. Whatever you have in mind to claim for yourself can be achieved with patience and creativity. When it comes to Career advancements, it's a good idea to hit the books. The New Moon on the 13th in your House of Higher Learning may urge you to finally take that certification class you've been meaning to sign up for and do extra research just to see what's out there. Anything that broadens your possibilities and rewards you with additional wisdom and skill sets will be of benefit to you in the long term. You may want to pay attention to how emotionally fulfilled you feel around what you do on a day to day basis, do you enjoy your routines, do you value what you do, or are you just phoning it in?

Your Health can be impacted by living out of alignment with your own needs and overextending yourself to placate others. Mind your boundaries, Libra. Practice saying "yes" or "no" with authority and confidence. Mars will be encouraging you to review what brings you joy and pleasure when he retrogrades on the 27th ahead of the Full Moon. When's the last time you truly had fun and expressed yourself and what you Love without fear of seeming weird? Love is about taking risks and daring to be seen by others as you are. With the Full Moon, notice what old stories you've been holding onto since childhood that says you have to do X or be Y in order to get what you need and be successful. Chances are those stories aren't true any longer.

Scorpio

Let's take it back to your roots, Scorpio. Mars has been poking around in the underworld of your chart to bring up all matters related to your childhood memories, familial roots, and hidden motivations. This is your jam believe it or not, because the better you know yourself, the more you understand how you can help others transform and bring their darkness to the light. Do the sorting and the purging of old hurts, have those heated conversations with family members, and let it go as all this venting and processing will definitely give your Health a boost. There's no rush as Mars will go retrograde on the 27th and give you plenty of time to make sense of what you're feeling.

Connecting with your passion will definitely make Love a lot easier for you this month as the grand trine in water at the top of the month and the New Moon on the 13th in your House of Secrets will urge you to open up and share what's on your heart without fear of rejection or abandonment. You're learning that things change, people come and go, and it doesn't mean anything about you. With Uranus electrifying your one on one relationships, you're learning the value of freedom as opposed to clinging to partnerships for security's sake alone. Lightening your emotional load means more energy left over for chasing your Career ambitions, which should see a boost of luck as Venus blesses you with extra charm and grace on the world stage from the 13th onward. Pack light, Scorpio.

Sagittarius

You've been adulting so hard lately, Sag, that you might have forgotten that this whole life journey thing is meant to be fun. You're doing the work, you're being responsible, so congratulate yourself for your growing maturity and authority! However, you have to learn when to A.) Cut yourself some slack for being human and B.) Know when to ask for help. Because, guess what? Your Health suffers when you drive yourself to the brink too often. Remind yourself that this isn't a race to the top, this is a supposed to be a life shaping experience. The New Moon in the 13th will be energizing to your House of Partnerships, encouraging you to Love and be loved and supported by those who just want to hold your hand through it all.

Let them, they're reminding you that you don't have to be perfect or know all the answers in order to succeed in life. The point is to remain open hearted enough to learn. Mars in your House of Communications will be pushing you to talk more, while Mercury in Cancer on the 12th helps you to be vulnerable about your experiences. Imagine Centaur, the more you open up and release guilt and fear, the lighter you'll be on the way to going after your Career ambitions. Even better is that what you learn about yourself during this process will likely give you more fuel to succeed no matter what. Less focus on the destination, try to enjoy your journey.

Capricorn

Health takes center stage this month for you Capricorn, especially if you took up the invitation to play all day and indulge to your heart's content during Taurus Season. Pleasure is good for you, Seagoat, so don't sweat the extra pounds you put on while enjoying that second slice of caramel custard pie or if you can't remember the name of the person you were kissing at the last party you stayed out all night at. Life is for living after all, just be sure to get back into a healthier routine by the time the New Moon asks you to set new intentions about how you take care of yourself and still manage to have a good time. Stay in pleasure mode as the Heavens will be sending potential partners your way to enjoy and get close to.

You may find that you have to let go of ideas you have about yourself that block you from fully allowing yourself to Love and be loved in return. Like anything else in life, love takes prioritizing and effort to get off the ground, so assess how good you've been about making time for it in your life the way you do with your Career and work. Career takes a backseat this month in a good way. You're learning to make room for life beyond what you do. Tap into how you take action on your values and whether or not you're able to get outside support, rather than going at it alone. Open up to the idea of merging with others Capricorn, it may be just the thing you need.

Aquarius

Just when you were ready to step out into the world and assert yourself, the Heavens decide to put you on hold for just a bit longer. Mars the planet of Action and Aggression has had you fired up and feeling more able to put yourself forward after a long period of laying low. Watch your confidence and energy level before Mars turns retrograde on the 27th, as it will clue you into what aspect of your drive and ambition can be tweaked. Since this Mars transit will be with you for a few months, it will make an impact on just about every area of your life. In terms of Love and partnership, you may be pushed to put yourself out there. The New Moon on the 13th in your House of Romance and Creativity says come out to play and be expressive with the people who stir your creative juices.

Live a little, Water Bearer, carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders isn't the wave and it will definitely impact your Health if you don't take steps to lighten up. The Full Moon on the 28th will point out what mental/psychic patterns (like obsessive thinking or worry) may be draining you of your physical vitality and messing with your ability to get things done on a day to day basis. Toss the habits that leave you feeling hopeless and filled with doubt. It's not that you can't achieve what you desire, it's that you need to practice a bit of patience and compassion for yourself. Work on your self-care, enjoying yourself despite the circumstance and when the time is right you'll have the energy you need to start knocking your Career and reputation out the park. Slowing down can be a good thing if you let it.

Pisces

Take a knee Pisces. With all the activity and rushing about that took place during the first half of the year, you deserve a break. Your Health improves when you take a moment to slow down and enjoy the quieter side of life at home. The New Moon in the 13th will encourage to clean up your home and make it a refuge that you can enjoy when all you want to do is cozy up with a good book and a cup of tea before shutting out the world. You won't be a homebody forever, Love is in play when Mercury and the Sun will energize your house of Romance and Creativity on the 12th and 21st, encouraging you to go out and get into mischief with others who are interested your mystifying energy.

The Full Moon in the 28th will point out whether your core group of friends are on the same page as you when it comes to your Hopes and Wishes for the future and if they encourage you to create the life that you've always dreamed of. If they don't, it may be time to say goodbye to them and any behaviors that keeps you from tapping into your creative potential. Career gets to hit the pause button this month as you redirect your energy towards self care and pleasure, take care of you first, gain some perspective on what you want to go after and the energy will appear when you need it to go after your more worldly ambitions.
