Sagittarius, June 2016

This month opens with an intense new moon on June 4: It takes place in Gemini, your opposite sign on the zodiac wheel. New moons bring a chance to create a fresh start, and this one will be all about your relationships, both romantic and nonromantic.

This new moon in Gemini won't be easy. Lucky, abundant Jupiter, your ruling planet, is currently in picky, practical Earth sign Virgo, and it will be square both the Sun and Venus, both of which are currently in Gemini. Jupiter in Virgo says less is more, but you absolutely hate that phrase. Obviously, more is more, and more is what you want—but over-consuming during a clash between Venus and the Sun to Jupiter is ill advised.

You're especially itchy to seem popular and to be seen during this new moon, but it's unlikely that any amount of attention will satisfy you. Take a step back and balance today's vibe by trying to be humble. You're one of the most generous signs in the zodiac, and it's rare that you come across as a spoiled brat, but there's a season for everything.

Again, this new moon will be highlighting the sector of your chart that rules relationships, but also be on the look-out for changes happening in your career or involving your professional goals, and be conscious about putting your best foot forward.

Lots of talk will go down in your relationships starting on June 12, when chatty Mercury enters Gemini. Also on June 12, sexy Venus connects with wild Uranus, bringing some unexpected fun to your partnerships. Uranus is electric and unpredictable, zapping boredom and bringing inspiration wherever it goes. If you're not in the mood for love, Uranus and Venus will still bring happy, helpful surprises to your nonromantic partnerships, and they'll supply plenty of inspiration to your creative projects.

The Sun will also connect with Uranus on June 14 and Mercury on June 26, bringing more adventure and exciting conversations. The dates that Uranus is active will certainly be some of the most fun for you this month!

On June 13, dreamy Neptune in psychic Pisces goes retrograde! Retrogrades, in general, intensify the vibe of the planet. Neptune is nebulous: It's foggy, mystical, emotional, and spiritual. It rules art and photography, escapism via drugs and alcohol, and meditation. Essentially, Neptune rules anything that lifts you to another realm.

This retrograde will be taking place in the sector of your chart that rules your home and family, so this is a great time to connect with your ancestors, research your family history, or reach out to family members. This is also a great time for cleansing your home energetically or redecorating your spot so it's a more peaceful, magical space for you to retreat to.

Neptune is very busy in June; one of the biggest aspects we'll be working with this month is the Saturn/Neptune square on June 17. Saturn is the planet of rules and regulations, reality and boundaries, and it is currently hanging out in your sign, inspiring you to behave much more conservatively and maturely than your typical self.

When Saturn clashes with mystical, hazy Neptune, shit gets real—and it can be very uncomfortable and disappointing. Belief systems that once anchored you emotionally will be tested. Watch out for paranoid vibes, and find trustworthy people you can vent to. This is certainly an emotionally exhausting transit.

Also on June 17, sexy Venus enters emotional, empathetic Cancer, which will activate a very intimate, personal sector of your chart. Venus rules love and beauty; you can bet that, over the next few weeks, you'll be working with a lot issues around sex and getting closer to your partners. Venus also rules money, so themes concerning debts, taxes, and even inheritances will come up for you to work with.

The Sun enters Cancer on June 20 and brings the full moon in Sagittarius. This will be a very revealing full moon around your money—and other people's money, too. On an emotional level, you'll also be figuring out what's important to you, what you value, and whether or not your relationships are "fair," whether that means getting enough attention or always paying for the drinks when you go out.

Saturn and Neptune kick up more drama during this full moon, too, so expect some extra confusion and obstacles. Communicator Mercury will oppose Saturn, creating difficulties around communication, and Mercury will square Neptune, making it hard for people to focus.

Full moons are very revealing, but the energy of this full moon doesn't make it the best time to actually talk about whatever information you receive. Sit on the info for now and chat about it later. On June 22, Mercury will square over-confident Jupiter, so don't pick this date if you need to have an important conversation—everyone's inner car salesmen will be at full force.

Instead, wait for June 26, when Mercury connects with genius Uranus and lucky Jupiter trines (one of the easiest astrological aspects) power planet Pluto. This date will be very productive and potent around any financial or career-related goals.

On June 29, logical Mercury enters psychic Cancer, majorly boosting your intuition. Late night conversations will go down about serious secrets, spirituality, and "insider" information about everyone's dirty laundry (especially yours— let's be real, Sag, you have a lot to get off your chest).

The highlight of June 29, however, is certainly Mars in Scorpio ending its retrograde (it began on April 17)! This will be a huge weigh off your shoulders. You'll certainly be able to sleep better, and you'll feel less like so many things in your life are out of your control. You did learn a lot about your subconscious fears and feelings during this transit, but it's time to move on. See you in July!
