Monthly Horoscope: Leo, June 2021

As fun as Gemini season can be, you’ll feel a shift in energy as Venus enters Cancer on June 2, putting you in a very private mood, especially when it comes to romance and money. You’re valuing the alone time you share with people you’re closest to, and this is a great time for a secret getaway with a partner. 

A wonderful moment for discussing plans for the future, especially in your partnerships, arrives on June 3 as the sun makes a harmonious connection with Saturn in Aquarius. Also on this day, Venus connects with lucky Jupiter in Pisces, creating an emotionally expansive, open-hearted atmosphere that’s fantastic for bonding and connecting with yourself on a deep and spiritual level.

Mercury retrograde in Gemini clashes with Neptune in Pisces on June 5, which could find you thinking back to May 22; some confusion or delays may be taking place, too. Also on this day, an argumentative mood is in the atmosphere as warrior planet Mars in Cancer opposes the planet of the underworld, Pluto, in Capricorn. Long-held frustrations are released, and people who have short tempers may be especially sensitive at this time, so be cautious as you navigate disagreements. What would be a small argument on another day might end up being a big deal at this time.

A lot that’s been brewing beneath the surface comes up for healing as the solar eclipse in Gemini arrives on June 10. A new cycle begins, especially in your social life. The sun meets Mercury retrograde, bringing some important realizations. Mercury retrograde may have found you reuniting with old friends, and during this solar eclipse, you could find yourself entering an exciting new social circle or experiencing some kind of fresh start regarding community. Eclipses have a fated feeling to them, so the connections you make at this time will feel especially important. A wish you make can carry even deeper weight! 

Action planet Mars enters your sign, Leo, on June 11, bringing a burst of energy! As a bold, fearless fire sign, you can sometimes be intimidating. With Mars in your sign, don’t be surprised if people find you more confrontational than usual! Still, it’s an exciting time to tackle your goals, and to cut off whatever you’re ready to let go of in your life.

Venus connects with Uranus in Taurus on June 13, bringing creative inspiration, but the sun also clashes with Neptune on this day, which may bring some delays or miscommunications. People are feeling especially sensitive at this time, unsure of where they fit in: It’s important to remember that staying true to yourself is the best compass for navigating confusing times. It feels like everything is changing as Saturn clashes with Uranus on June 14, especially when it comes to plans and commitments, and the way you approach and structure your partnerships (in love and business). Think back to February 14, as similar themes may come up for you to reflect on.

Jupiter begins its retrograde on June 20, finding you reflecting on how you and your partners will approach sharing money, and you’re thinking about how to best approach themes like debt, taxes, and inheritances. June 20 is also the first day of Cancer season! This may find you in a quiet, reflective mood, feeling more introverted than usual.

Romance and creativity flow as Venus connects with Neptune on June 21: There’s a whimsical energy the atmosphere and it’s an exciting time to explore fantasies. Mercury retrograde ends on June 22, finally helping conversations move forward. June 23 finds the sun connecting with Jupiter, bringing a big boost to your intuition. This is a wonderful time for meditation and dream work! Also on this day, Venus opposes Pluto, finding you exploring themes concerning power, as well as issues like jealousy and manipulation. It’s crucial that you carve out time for yourself now: Notice if anyone is upset with you setting boundaries, or who is trying to control your schedule, as those are people you need to address things with. A third party may be helpful for mediation.

The full moon in Capricorn arrives on June 24, bringing a project you’ve been working on to its completion. Full moons are all about release, and at this time, you might be letting go of a routine or habit you’ve outgrown. Neptune retrograde begins on June 25, finding you reflecting on boundaries (or the lack thereof) in your relationships. Neptune is the planet of fantasy: Consider how wishful thinking may be affecting your partnerships. Ending the month on a romantic note is Venus entering your sign, Leo, on June 27! This may find you feeling especially attractive and eager to connect with people. While Mars in your sign helps you let go of what you no longer need, Venus in your sign helps you attract what you do! 

Good luck this month, Leo, and see you in July!
