Cancer, June 2017

Happy summer solstice, Cancer. Your season is here!

Welcome to Gemini season! Gemini has a bad reputation for being shady, but let's be real, Cancer, you Water signs are probably the shadiest. Don't be surprised if you engage in cloak-and-dagger, hush-hush activity during Gemini season. You'll probably get away with it, too. You're cautious; you usually don't do sneaky shit unless you can pull it off.

Even if you're not up for being sly, you'll still find yourself drawn to secret or hidden things. You're also in a quiet, private mood. One of the most psychic signs in the zodiac, you're empathetic, but while the Sun is in Gemini, you'll be even more sensitive to other's emotions, so surround yourself with supportive people you feel comfortable around.

Your psychic abilities will heighten as the Sun spends time in Gemini, so break out your tarot cards, read up on psychic development (and psychic protection!), and pay attention to your dreams—while you're at it, catch up on sleep!

Dreaming isn't all you'll do this month, sweet crab—you'll cross a lot of things off your to-do list, too, especially early this month. On June 1, Venus, in confident Fire sign Aries, connects with Saturn, in Sagittarius, which is good news for your career. The planet of love, Venus also rules money, so if you've been working hard, its meeting with Saturn will bring success.

Don't be surprised if you engage in cloak-and-dagger, hush-hush activity during Gemini season.

Solid foundations are being laid now—and unexpected recognition, for your hard work and talents, arrives on June 3, when Venus meets Uranus in Aries. This is a time to take professional risks. Is it time for the public to see another side of you, Cancer? Uranus is the planet of innovation, so don't be afraid to break free of tradition or challenge people's expectations.

Warrior planet Mars enters your sign, Cancer, on June 4, boosting your energy and putting you in a more aggressive mood than usual—don't be surprised if people notice this! Mars is a planet we associate with war, and you, little crab, are more about making love and enjoying life than going to battle.

That said, you do know something about being a fighter. You have a tough shell after all—your armor protects you from the world. Don't be surprised if people (including yourself) are more defensive than usual while Mars is in your sign.

Sweet Venus enters sensual Earth sign Taurus on June 6, bringing blessings to your social life. This is a fantastic time to connect with friends and meet new people. Is there an interest you've been on the fence about pursuing? Do it now. Venus is a kind, easy planet, so now is a good time to join a group or start a hobby; people will be welcoming.

Mercury enters chatty Air sign Gemini on June 6—secrets will be shared! This is a magical time for meditation or spiritual work. It's also a wonderful time for introspection: Mercury rules the mind, and it's especially sharp in Air sign Gemini, so expect to learn things about yourself.

The full moon in Fire sign Sagittarius arrives on June 9, illuminating the sector of your chart that rules your health, daily habits, and your routines and schedule, including your day job. Full moons are exhausting, but this one will demand that you focus. If an issue at work has been building, or if you have been ignoring your health (basically—if you haven't been taking care of your responsibilities!), this full moon will bring things to a head.

Emotionally, Cancer, I want you to reflect on what you have been running from. This could manifest in small ways—like procrastinating so you don't have to fill out a form. Or it could be major, like going out of your way to get home at certain times so you don't have to run into the roommate who annoys the hell out of you. Find someone you trust; talk to them about how you can move past this!

The Sun enters your sign, Cancer, on June 20, or 21, depending on your time zone, bringing the summer solstice! Mercury enters your sign, too, on June 21, meeting with the Sun. You won't be in such an introspective mood now that the solar spotlight is on you. Expect to feel less reserved than you did while the Sun was in Gemini—more talkative and sure of yourself.

A new moon in Cancer arrives on June 23: This is a magnificent time for reinvention. New moons are all about new beginnings, and because this one is in your sign, this is certainly a powerful time for change, crab.

It's important for you to listen to your emotions—they are your internal compass, pointing you toward your correct path. Ignore your heart, and you'll never be happy. Honor this new moon by reconnecting with your needs and committing to taking care of yourself emotionally. Also, get some new clothes, or a haircut, because this is a great new moon for a makeover!

Sweet Venus makes a harmonious connection to power planet Pluto, which is in Earth sign Capricorn, on June 24. This is a day to connect with people; an intriguing and unlikely person may cross your path. The energy in your relationships will intensify—if you're hooking up with anyone, this is a day to circle on your calendar!

Just watch out for recklessness—Mars will clash with Jupiter on June 24/25, which means enthusiasm but also excessive behavior. Avoid getting into fights; things will be blown out of proportion.

More good vibes flow on June 26 when passionate Mars mingles with Neptune, the planet of fairy-tale romance. Anticipate a gentle yet sexy atmosphere. Even if you're not interested in love right now, you'll feel this energy play out in your creative pursuits—make time to dance, paint, sing, whatever feels right to you!

Summer is your season, Cancer—have a great month, and see you in July!
