Virgo, June 2016

June is complicated, but, as the sign of analysis, you'll be fine!

June isn't as much of a drag at May was with all its retrogrades, but you'll still have plenty of bullshit to untangle this month—which is fine, because that's what you do. You're the analyzer of the zodiac, and you make sense of nonsense. Let's take a look at your June astrological forecast:

The new moon in Gemini is going to bring some fresh vibes to you career and your professional goals, as well as to themes around popularity and success. You're the sign of flawlessness, right? This new moon in logical Gemini is a reminder of your talents and importance; however, there is a chance that you will feel like you're not being rewarded for the right things.

It might feel like you're winning a Grammy for your singing in that movie, but really you wanted an Oscar for your performance. This is all due to the Sun and Venus in Gemini challenging Jupiter, the planet of growth and luck, which is currently in your sign. You're going places, but are they the places you want to go?

You have a tendency to be pessimistic, and this new moon will be an extra bummer because it will oppose Saturn, the planet of "no." This tension will manifest around your home and family, so be extra conscious of how you interact with your parents, roomies, and landlord.

You're going places, but are they the places you want to go?

June 9 brings tension when your ruling planet, Mercury, opposes Mars, which is currently cranky and retrograde. Don't discuss important stuff today, because everyone is going to think that they are right. Some people will take things super seriously today, while others will be intense AF. Try to find a comfortable place in the middle—care, but don't lose your mind about a disagreement.

Mercury is the planet of logic, and it knows it's right. Mars, conversely, just wants to fight, especially when it's pissed off, which it is due to the retrograde. (Which by the way, will finally end on June 29! At the end of the month, communication will begin to feel way less heated once Mars goes direct.)

On June 12, your ruling planet, Mercury, enters Gemini and again highlights that same sector of the chart that the new moon in Gemini did: the area of fame and fortune. This is a great time to collect information concerning your goals or to organize meetings that will help you climb up whatever ladder you're working your way up.

Also on June 12, sexy Venus in Gemini will connect with wild Uranus in Aries, which will bring some unexpected payoffs your way, as well as some surprise solutions to problems concerning debts, taxes, or even an inheritance. It could also connect you to people who could invest in you. The most unusual people will appreciate your potential today—which is exciting, Virgo, because you work so hard!

On June 13, dreamy (and confusing) Neptune begins its retrograde in Pisces, your opposite sign on the zodiac wheel. During this time, pay special attention to your intuition about your partnerships, both romantic and nonromantic.

June 17 is one of the most intense days this month, thanks to the planet of rules, structures, and boundaries, Saturn, squaring nebulous Neptune. When the planet of reality (Saturn) clashes with the planet of dreams (Neptune), some disappointing wake-up calls can be the result. This astrological aspect will be stressful for everyone, but it will be especially hard for you because it will be acting out in your relationships, as well as in your career or public life.

It's time to accept things for what they are, not what they could be. Plans for the future can only pan out if you're being honest with yourself about your present situation. Don't dream about getting promoted if you can hardly get up in time everyone morning, and don't fantasize about a wedding ring when you're also fantasizing about the cutie next door. Be real about what's happening now so you can set more appropriate, achievable, and rewarding goals for yourself.

Also on June 17, the planet of love, beauty, and luxury, Venus, enters nurturing Water sign Cancer and activates the sector of your chart that rules you social life. This is a great time to connect with friends and do some networking!

The Sun enters Cancer on June 20, again lighting up the part of your chart that rules your social life. This date also brings the full moon in Sagittarius, which will be stimulating for your love life as well as for your creative or professional endeavors; however, do note that people are feeling very prickly about their boundaries and will not be very open to discussion, due to Mercury in Gemini opposing Saturn in Sagittarius. Don't push anyone to explain themselves. Mercury is also squaring foggy Neptune, so people won't really know what they want anyway.

People will be making plenty of promises they can't keep on June 22.

June 22 brings more frustration around communication when Mercury in Gemini squares Jupiter in Virgo. Jupiter loves to exaggerate, so watch out for deals that are too good to be true. People will be making plenty of promises they can't keep today. Watch out about overcommitting around your professional goals or in terms of what you're capable of providing to others, both in a romantic or nonromantic context.

Good news arrives on June 26! Lucky Jupiter connects with power planet Pluto in Capricorn today, which will bring good vibes to your love life. Invitations to party or even perform could come your way. You'll be in the mood to explore, try new things, and travel, and inspiration around your artistic pursuits will be abundant.

Also on June 26, Mercury in Gemini will connect with Uranus in Aries, which will bring some exciting conversations your way about some rarely discussed, possibly secret, or otherwise sexy or exciting topics.

On June 29, Mercury enters Cancer and brings more news around your social life, as well as the groups and organizations you belong to. And, again, Mars will go direct on this day! Hopefully June isn't too much of a drag—for all the obstacles, there will be lots of possibilities for fun and excitement. See you next month!
