Monthly Horoscope: Cancer, June 2021

Welcome to Gemini season, dear Cancer!
Gemini and Cancer
Robin Eisenberg

The sun in Gemini illuminates a very private sector of your chart, dear Cancer. You might feel more shy than usual, wanting to catch up on rest. This is a powerful time to explore your subconscious: You might feel called to go to therapy, start keeping a dream journal, or dive into a meditation practice.

The energy begins to shift on June 2 as Venus enters your sign, finding you feeling charming and attractive! While you’re still craving rest, you might also be feeling more eager to flirt and connect with people. Venus is the planet of values, and as it moves through your sign, you’re getting clear on what’s important to you. Venus is all about unity, and while warrior Mars has been in your sign lately, finding you more confrontational than usual, Venus will likely soften any snippiness you’ve been feeling lately!

June 3 finds the sun connecting with Saturn in Aquarius, helping you set emotional boundaries, and creating a supportive energy around discussing issues that you usually avoid talking about. Saturn is the taskmaster of the zodiac, but as it makes a helpful connection with the radiant sun, an ease flows around tackling things. Adding a dash of luck is Venus’s connection with Jupiter in fellow water sign Pisces on June 3, creating a whimsically wonderful day for love, adventure, and creativity! The energy is fun and expansive. A generous mood is in the air.

You may have been feeling especially forgetful and running into miscommunications and delays thanks to Mercury retrograde in Gemini, but things may be especially frustrating, confusing, or nonsensical on June 5 as Mercury retrograde clashes with Neptune in Pisces. Think back to May 22, as similar themes may come up for you to contend with. These frustrations may be especially exhausting as Mars, currently in your sign, opposes Pluto in Capricorn on the same day, bringing a climax to an argument that’s been brewing. The mood is confrontational, so be cautious about starting (or inserting yourself into) disagreements.

The solar eclipse in Gemini is on June 10, the same day the sun meets Mercury retrograde in Gemini, finding you having an important eureka moment about your subconscious. You may also find yourself feeling especially tired! Eclipses are emotional and exhausting, so don’t overbook yourself during this time. You might have some especially wild or inspiring dreams, or explore some secret or hidden parts of yourself or the world around you.

Action planet Mars enters Leo on June 11, firing up the financial sector of your chart. Mars is all about action, and while it’s in proud fire sign Leo, you feel loss of motivation around achieving your financial goals. Venus mingles with wildcard Uranus in Taurus on June 13, finding you connecting with some exciting social circles and communities. This is a fun time to network, but do be mindful of possible miscommunications and delays as the sun also clashes with Neptune on this day. As exciting as the mood is in your social life, let yourself rest if you feel tired…between Mercury retrograde and the sun squaring off with Neptune, you might need extra downtime! 

Saturn clashes with Uranus on June 14, bringing great changes: Think back to February 14, as similar themes may be coming up for you at this time. What you need from your partnerships is undergoing a change, and it may take a moment to figure out your new standards and boundaries.

Jupiter begins its retrograde in June 20, finding you reflecting on your dreams for the future. Themes like travel and education are on your mind, and you’re thinking about where you want to go next. Also on June 20, the sun enters Cancer: Happy solar return, dear crab! The sun in your sign finds you feeling eager to take on the next year, ready to express yourself creatively, and to simply have fun and celebrate! Romance abounds as Venus connects with Neptune on June 21—this is a wonderful time to snuggle with your crush, enjoy yourself, or make some art! Mercury retrograde ends on June 22 and conversations will begin moving forward. If you’ve been sleeping through your alarm lately, you might finally get back into your regular schedule! 

June 23 is a complicated day: On one hand, romance and creativity flow as the sun connects with Jupiter, but on the other, sweet Venus opposes power planet Pluto, making for an intense moment in your relationships. The truth about what’s important to you both will be confronted. This is a powerful time to go deeper with intimacy, but watch out for envy, too.

A climax regarding your relationships takes place during the full moon in Capricorn on June 24: An important ending or compromise may take place. Either way, Capricorn energy is all about hard work and patience; relationships require both, and you and your partner are learning how much you have. Neptune retrograde begins on June 25, finding you reflecting on spiritual concepts and daydreaming about future travel and adventure. Your mind turns to finances as Venus enters Leo on June 27, activating the sector of your chart that rules wealth and your belongings. This is a lovely time to exchange gifts with your partners! This is also a beneficial time for negotiations. 

Good luck this month, Cancer, and see you in July!
