After the intensity of eclipse season, there’s a certain bounciness to June that can’t help but put a little spring in your step. Connection, conversation and curiosity reign supreme as Gemini season inspires us to loosen our attachment to perfect outcomes and play, just for the fun of it. It’s a time to experiment, explore and be OK with a few mistakes. Sometimes a detour will take you on the scenic route you never would have known about had things gone exactly to plan. When things feel a little off course, ask yourself, “What’s the serendipitous moment this little deviation has presented?”

I always recommend reading for your rising sign rather than your sun sign. You can find out your rising sign by casting your chart here. Want to learn more?

Feeling frisky? It’s not just you, it’s in the sky. With Venus joining your ruling planet Mars (from 5 June) and blazing through your pleasure sector all month, June has the potential to be extra steamy in the best possible way. It’s all-out sexy with a generous dash of exhibitionism. Find someone who’s brave enough to handle your naughty side and keep them within arm’s reach. Adding to the fun, a lighter, brighter mood courtesy of Gemini season (until 22 June AEST, 21 June GMT) helps blow away the cobwebs. After the funkiness of the past month, let yourself think “why shouldn’t I say yes to that date/job offer/invite?” 

Tip: Pay attention to instinctive pings around the new moon (18 June) when your intuition will be 20/20.

Coming off the past month, there’s a lot to process, and process you will. With a newfound levity (thank you, Gemini season–until 22 June AEST, 21 June GMT ), especially after 11th (when Mercury joins the Sun), there’s some much needed flexibility to the overall mood. Seeking a second opinion and generally being open to a different perspective could help alleviate some of the heaviness that’s been weighing you down of late. Side note: be careful what you wish for mid-month when lofty ideas could result in some reckless spending. 

Tip: Set an open-ended money goal on the new moon (18 June) with a focus on how it will help you connect with people that matter, rather than making your bank account heftier.

With your home season in full swing, (until 22 June AEST, 21 June GMT) the vibe should feel like a breath of fresh air quite literally inspiring you to loosen up, reboot and live a little. Brace yourself for a surge in energy from 11 June once Mercury joins the party and puts you in an extra chatty mood. Don’t let the ‘optimum banter mode’ go to waste! There’s scope to sow some pretty epic seeds, especially at work. Finding a mentor could be the perfect place to start to helping make your big professional dreams a reality. 

Tip: Don’t be afraid to reach out to someone you admire for professional mentoring, especially around the 16th.

With the solstice (22 June AEST, 21 June GMT) marking the start of your home season, there’s excitement on the horizon. But before you get there, the first few weeks of the month are an invitation to retreat from the world and go within. With the Sun, Mercury and Neptune supercharging your sixth sense, it’s a magical window to dip your toe into anything a little bit esoteric. Tarot, reiki, acupuncture, whatever you’ve always been curious about, but never gotten around to exploring…go do that! 

Tip: Pay attention to your dreams–particularly around the middle of the month when your subconscious could be sharing some important messages.

There’s a lot to like about June for Leo folks. With both Venus (from 5 June) and Mars strutting through your home sign, you should have even more swagger than usual. With Uranus also in the mix, it’s the kind of weather that will have you diving head first into a massive hair/nails/wardrobe reset…or even contemplating a complete career change. But before you go sign up for a H&M artist apprenticeship, try and pace yourself–you’ve got a very interesting couple of months coming up and you’re unlikely to have all the facts in front of you to make a truly informed decision, at least not just yet.

Tip: Hold onto your Hydralyte! Gemini season (until 22 June AEST, 21 June GMT) sets the scene for boozy lunches and very late nights.

Work will take up all your focus this month as Gemini season (until 22 June AEST, 21 June GMT) lights up your professional sphere. With both Saturn and Neptune in the fray, there’s a sense that whichever road you take, there’s a lot at stake. Be on the lookout for a ‘we’ll worry about that when we get to it’ kind of vibe that could make for crossed wires. If the details seem sketchy, take a deep breath and (nicely) push back. Don’t be afraid to explore all the options, now is the time to be curious and ask lots of questions.

Tip: Look to your closest relationships for advice on where to go next, career-wise.

June kicks off with a burst of Big Air Energy courtesy of Gemini season until (22 June AEST, 21 June GMT) which should feel like a delicious reprieve after the murkiness of April and May. With Venus, your ruling planet, moving into your social sphere you’ll be on fire socially and feeling more schmoozey than you have all year. Capitalise on the key change by scheduling plenty of long overdue catch-ups and savouring the sudden surge of social action. 

Tip: Indulge any fleeting curiosities around learning and enrol in a short course–nail art, yoga, Spanish–whatever takes your fancy.

If you were looking for a reason to take some time out, consider the astrology of June your note from home to lay low. With one of the shadiest corners of your chart coming into focus (until 22 June AEST, 21 June GMT), it’s the perfect moment of 2023 to spend time reflecting, processing and healing. Talking to a therapist, coach or even your doctor to discuss things you’ve been sweeping under the carpet will do you a world of good. Anything that combines words and healing will be hugely cathartic.

Tip: Hit up the self-help section on Audible for a mid-year mindset reset.

It’s all systems go this month as Gemini season (until 22 June AEST, 21 June GMT)  pulls focus on your closest bonds. Romantic relationships, business partnerships, best friends–they’re all up for discussion and likely to take a significant amount of your energy. Beyond the quality banter on offer, there’s the potential to make a decision that helps bridge the gap between long-term plans and your more imaginative hopes and dreams. All you have to do is start the conversation and see where it leads… 

Tip: Take advantage of the chatty weather and get away with your main squeeze to talk Big Future Stuff, especially around the new moon (18 June).

There’s plenty of day-to-day back and forth this month as Gemini season ensures the pace of life picks up considerably. After a couple of heavy months, there’s a “getting it done” kind of flavour to June that should feel quietly satisfying for Capricorn people. If you’re in the mood for turning over a new leaf, the new moon (18 June) looks especially sweet for committing to something practical, yet healing (think: 3pm sugar binges or sneaky Friday night vapes).

Tip: Keep your eyes peeled for surprises, power plays or revelations on 11th when Pluto retrogrades back into Capricorn after a three month holiday in Aquarius.

Aquarians take note: June is your time to play. With Gemini season bringing some much needed levity to the overall mood, reconnecting with people or past times that make you laugh should be your top priority. Dust off your tennis racquet, join your high school reunion Facebook group or sign up for a tap-dancing class. A little bit of leisure for leisure’s sake is not an option, but a necessity this month. It’ll also be a welcome escape from the fireworks that could unfold in your closest relationships. 

Tip: Pay attention to the relationship issues that pop up this month–they’re the beginning of a more meaningful thread that will continue to develop over the next three months.

With your domestic sphere in focus the first few weeks of June, there’s never been a better time to immerse yourself in a little interior styling bubble. Reactivate your Pinterest and let yourself get lost in a sea of dream bedrooms and sculptural sofas. With Neptune and Saturn also coming to the party, your creative vision is literally off the charts. Don’t be afraid to back yourself, especially when your partner is questioning your choice of paint colour–WYKYK.

Tip: Look out for A big intuitive download at the end of the month when Neptune stations direct and dials your sixth sense up to 11(30 June GMT, 1 July AEST). There are no coincidences!
