Libra, June 2017

As an Air sign, Libra, you know how important clear communication is. People will be speaking from an honest, thoughtful place early this month. There's a focus on commitment, and this is a great time to reimagine the structures within your partnerships, thanks to eccentric and electric planet Uranus meeting Venus in Aries on June 3.

Trying something new in your relationships will be a theme early this month—whether that is something kinky or more mundane, like redefining your commitments to each other. Expect to see an unusual side to your partners; Uranus brings out the weird in people. You'll find it entertaining—or totally annoying. You never know with Uranus, the planet of surprise.

Saturn is all about tradition and structure, while rebel Uranus wants change, so when these two planets are working harmoniously with your ruling planet, Venus, it's actually pretty nice—the energy is supportive yet flexible!

Action planet Mars enters sensitive Water sign Cancer on June 4, putting people in a cautious mood, especially when it comes to confrontation. Unfortunately, this could mean passive aggression; however, you can beat anyone at that game, Libra, so no worries on that end.

Mars in Cancer will energize the sector of your chart that rules your career and reputation. Expect to feel more ambitious—but watch out: An argument with a boss or authority figure could arise!

Your ruling planet, Venus, enters sensual Earth sign Taurus on June 6, highlighting a sensitive, intimate sector of your chart. This is an intense time for getting closer to your partner. You'll learn just how much they're willing to give you, and how deep your relationship can be. This is a powerful time for physical connection and lovemaking.

Venus in Taurus will also affect your finances—especially debts and taxes—and even inheritances. If you've been waiting for the right time to return something to someone, here it is. Venus knows how to be charming, so that will help if returning the item could be awkward.

Communication planet Mercury enters fellow Air sign Gemini June 6, activating the sector of your chart that rules higher learning and travel. This may put you in the mood to explore new places and ideas. This is a great time to publish writing or get the word out about the projects you're working on. Exchanging ideas is a theme this month, especially due to the full moon in Fire sign Sagittarius, which arrives on June 9.

The first part of June finds the Sun in Gemini, encouraging you to think about the big picture and putting you in a philosophical mood; you'll wonder what else is out there, and if you'll ever discover the meaning of your life. You're feeling like, if you remove yourself from your situation, you will finally get the perspective you need to understand what's going on, what it all means, and why you're making the choices you're making. But don't run too far looking for perspective. Sometimes running away is just running away—and the full moon in Sagittarius will remind you of that. During this full moon, Libra, look inside yourself for answers, not in books, in other people, or wherever else you might be searching.

A conversation that's been building will finally happen during this full moon—I mean, can you think of two more verbose signs than Sagittarius and Gemini, the signs the Sun and Moon are in, respectively? Clearly, this will be a big full moon for communication. Expect emotional outpours.

Luckily, during this full moon, your ruling planet, Venus, will connect with Mars, which bodes well for people getting along, generally, and for the conversations to be productive for everyone.

Venus connects with the planet of dreams and fairy tales, Neptune, in Water sign Pisces, on June 20, creating a sweet, romantic vibe. The atmosphere is peaceful—and exciting. Also on this day, Mercury connects with Uranus, bringing surprising conversations and chance meetings. Mercury rules the mind, and Uranus is the planet of genius, so profound breakthroughs will arrive, especially concerning your relationships. Someone will tell you something unexpected.

You'll feel the energy shift during the summer solstice when the Sun enters Cancer (June 20, or 21, depending on your time zone). Mercury enters Cancer and meets the Sun on June 21, illuminating the sector of your chart that rules your career and reputation. Toward the end of this month, expect talk about your achievements, Libra!

The new moon in Cancer arrives June 23, and this is a powerful time for you professionally. If you want to rebrand yourself, now is the time—new moons are all about fresh starts. Watch out for meetings with your bosses or authority figures. If you're feeling witchy, casting a spell for success is a great way to use the energy of the new moon.

Your ruling planet, Venus, connects with the lord of the underworld, Pluto, in Capricorn on June 24. Whenever love-and-money planet Venus mingles with power planet Pluto, drama is in the air—and this will be an especially passionate, emotionally charged time for you—in romance as well as in your private, personal life. You're craving depth in everything you do—so any relationship that doesn't deliver the intensity you're seeking, you should toss aside. You're looking for the real thing!

Changes need to be made this month, Libra, and things need to be said. Your relationships will look quite different by the time July rolls around, but that's probably for the better. Growth is good! See you next month!
