Aries, June 2017

Excitement arrives on June 3 when Venus meets electric Uranus in your sign. Uranus is all about freedom and innovation—and its energy is quite a contrast from the vibe between Venus and Saturn, which we just talked about.

Saturn wants to create structure; Uranus wants to break out of it—but that doesn't mean that this energy will create conflict in your own life, Aries. Rather, this is a fantastic time to get grounded and settle into the things you feel like settling into. Take risks and experiment in other parts of your life! Freedom and security—two wonderful things to have.

Your focus shifts toward your family and your living situation when your planetary ruler, Mars, enters sensitive Water sign Cancer on June 4. On a practical level, this is about taking action concerning your home—perhaps moving or reorganizing your space.

Emotionally, this is a powerful time to reflect on boundaries, security, and how you protect yourself. Cancer is the sign of the crab, which wears shell-like armor as protection from the outside world. Where are your safe spaces? What does privacy mean to you? If you're feeling witchy, this is a perfect time to read up on psychic protection.

Venus enters grounded Earth sign Taurus on June 6, bringing you blessings for your finances and helping you with your self-worth. Taurus is a sensual energy, so take this time to reconnect with your body.

Another planet changes signs on June 6: Communication planet Mercury enters Gemini and activates the sector of your chart that rules your mind, sharpening your mental acuity and putting you in a busy, curious, talkative mood. Gemini season, which we're in now, is all about information collecting, so watch for news to come your way.

The full moon in Sagittarius arrives June 9, which will bring profound realizations. Sagittarius is the philosopher of the zodiac, so expect to feel deep as hell. All full moons are exhausting and emotional, but this one will be especially climactic. Express your feelings, speak your mind, or converse with someone you've been waiting to talk to. Try to balance differing points of view.

Helpful energy flows during this full moon thanks to Venus connecting with your ruling planet, Mars, on June 9. Despite the intensity, you will find a way to ground yourself and connect with people who want to help you.

You'll feel the energy shift during the summer solstice—when the Sun enters psychic and emotional Water sign Cancer on June 20, or 21, depending on your time zone. Mercury enters Cancer June 21, meeting with the Sun.

Gemini season was about communication, but Cancer season finds you settling down at home, connecting with your family, and the people you live with, and focusing on your living situation.

Expect to be in a more nostalgic mood than usual. You're not the most domestic person, Aries, but this is a lovely time to bake your favorite grandparent's cookie recipe—and cry into the batter. You'll be super in touch with your feelings! Use the energy to reflect on your family—not just the family you were born into but the home you've built for yourself and the people you've accepted as your family.

A new moon in Cancer arrives on June 23, bringing a fresh start to your home and family life. If you're looking for a new place to live, this new moon is a lovely time to look. Set new boundaries around how you want to connect with the people you're closest to.

And don't forget about your relationship with yourself: Use the energy during this new moon in psychic Cancer to tap into your inner voice. This is a wonderful time to energetically cleanse your home, so throw out the garbage and burn some sacred plants!

I'm sure when you started reading about "home and family" in this horoscope, you couldn't have been more bored, little ram, but you're actually pretty fucking sensitive—you're the baby of the zodiac! As you continued reading, you likely became more and more emo. Don't worry, you're not broken—you're just more sentimental than your tough ram horns make you look!

Your ruling planet, Mars, squares (a tense astrological aspect) Jupiter, in Libra, on June 24, or 25, if you're on the East Coast, heating up your relationships! The energy is over the top. Don't pick fights; they will end badly. Enjoy yourself and the enthusiastic atmosphere without taking things to the extreme (which is pretty much your favorite activity, ram).

Balancing out this energy, we have Mars making an easy connection, to dreamy Neptune, in sensitive Water sign Pisces on June 25—or 26, again, if you're on the East Coast. The connection will create a tender, creative, imaginative vibe.

The gentle and sexy vibe will also apply to your romantic partnerships—you'll experience a deep psychic connection. Even in your nonromantic relationships, the vibe will be one in which people want to encourage and understand each other.

You're speaking your mind this month, Aries, and redefining what home means to you—not bad! Enjoy your month, and see you in July!
