Monthly Horoscope: Taurus, June 2021

The sun in Gemini illuminates the sector of your chart that rules money and your belongings, finding you focused on finances and security. However, Mercury is retrograde in Gemini, which may find you facing delays or confusion concerning cash. Paperwork regarding money may need to be redone, or misunderstandings about payments may have to be resolved. But Mercury retrograde can also have its advantages: You might find something you previously misplaced, a lost check could appear, or conversations about value and worth may be revisited and reworked for the better. Mercury retrograde is an important time to slow down and revise things. You’d be wise not to make new purchases, but to rethink your budget instead, or maybe reassess the worth of things you already own.

Your ruling planet Venus enters water sign Cancer on June 2, illuminating the communication sector of your chart, bringing messages of love your way and finding you valuing the intellectual connection you share with your partners. Verbal acknowledgement means a lot to you at this time! Venus is the planet of harmony, and as it moves through Cancer, a sweet, caring approach to communication is valued.

A supportive atmosphere flows in your career—especially while you connect with your bosses—as the sun mingles with Saturn in Aquarius on June 3. Also on this day, Venus connects with lucky Jupiter in Pisces, making it an especially expansive time in your social life: An easy energy flows around connecting with people and you’re feeling especially popular!

The energy shifts on June 5—watch out for confusion, especially about money, as Mercury clashes with Neptune. Also on this day, Mars in Cancer opposes Pluto in Capricorn, which finds people especially short-tempered, and arguments that have been building may reach a breaking point. People are feeling defensive and are ready to cut ties. The chances of getting into a heated fight online are high. Arguing with strangers on the internet is one thing, but fighting with people you love is another: Take it slow with commutation today, don’t jump to conclusions, and be sensitive to the fact that patience is in short supply.

The solar eclipse in Gemini arrives on June 10, which also finds the sun meeting Mercury retrograde journey: Important information or conversations regarding money or your belongings, or more broadly, your sense of security, stability, and abundance may come your way. Also finding you focused on stability is action planet Mars’s entry into fire sign Leo on June 11. Mars in Leo is major for you home and family life and you may be moving or rearranging your living situation in some way. You take important action toward creating a firm sense of privacy and comfort for yourself.

Venus connects with Uranus, which is currently in your sign, Taurus, on June 13, bringing unexpected thrills your way! The mood is flirtatious and there’s plenty of fun banter, but this day may also have a tinge of laziness as the sun clashes with Neptune. Saturn clashes with Uranus on June 14, making for one of the most transformative times of the month—think back to February 14, as similar themes might be up for consideration. Saturn is the planet of tradition, but Uranus is all about the future: Their clash means the rules are being rewritten. For you, Taurus, this might mean that ideas about who you thought you’d be when you “grow up” and what you want your legacy to be are undergoing a major shift. The way you want to show up in the world, the kind of impact you want to make, is maturing and evolving, and it might be in a very unexpected way. 

The solstice arrives on June 20 as the sun enters Cancer, the same day Jupiter begins its retrograde. Cancer season creates a busy atmosphere around communication, and Jupiter retrograde finds you reflecting on your social life and the communities you belong to: Who do you want to be connecting with, Taurus?

Your ruling planet Venus connects with Neptune on June 21, making for one of the most romantic days of the month. Neptune is all about fantasy and Venus attraction: Their harmonious alignment creates a magical energy for intimacy! You won’t just notice this play out in your love life, but in your social life and the world in general, an open-hearted energy flows. This is a powerful time for communication, as sympathy is high. Mercury retrograde ends on June 22, finding conversations moving forward after a few weeks of delays and reconsiderations. If you’ve been eyeing something you want to purchase, this might be the time to go for it since Mercury, the planet of commerce, has completed its retrograde.

June 23 has some mixed energy: Your social life is opening up as the sun connects with Jupiter, but some complicated conversations take place as Venus opposes Pluto. The sun and Jupiter’s connection makes for an expansive atmosphere in your social life—it’s an exciting time to share ideas and network, and you’ll likely be inspired by the conversations and people you meet. However, Venus opposing Pluto may also stir up jealousy and control issues. Notice who makes you feel smothered, and keep an eye out for folks who get upset when you don’t share their opinions—this might be a good time to bring in a third party to help mediate the situation.

The full moon in fellow earth sign Capricorn arrives on June 24, bringing a climax to a conversation that’s been building. New information may be revealed, or a new perspective may dawn on you. Issues regarding travel or schooling may also come to a culmination. An important message could be broadcasted…what news do you want to share with the world?

Neptune retrograde begins on June 25, inspiring a sensitive atmosphere. This is a powerful time to connect with your friends, and to spend energy on causes you are passionate about. Your ruling planet Venus enters Leo on June 27, inspiring you to redecorate or beautify your home. Leo is known for being theatrical, so Venus in Leo could find you adding more drama to your personal style. Safety precautions considered, this is a wonderful time to entertain in your space. Venus in Leo inspires warmth at home, making this a fantastic opportunity to connect with family and loved ones, and in your love life, you’re appreciating partners who put effort into making your home life more cozy, and who inspire a sense of safety and comfort.

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