Taurus, June 2017

Venus meets with rebel planet Uranus on June 3, which will stir up some surprises in your private life. (And you, Taurus, are feeling private lately!) Your psychic intuition will also heighten, so listen to your inner voice.

Speaking of voices, the Sun is in chatty Air sign Gemini for the first part of the month, illuminating the sector of your chart that rules your finances—and your self-worth. Expect to talk about these themes when the planet of communication, Mercury, enters Gemini on June 6.

Action planet Mars enters Cancer on June 4, which means you can bet you'll speak with more confidence—and, likely, more harshly—than usual. But people will find you as charming as always. Your ruling planet, Venus, enters your sign on June 6, so you'll feel like yourself: cute and calm. Venus is the planet of love, money, and beauty, so having it in your sign is a boost.

The full moon, in Fire sign Sagittarius, arrives June 9—expect to be ultra-emotional. All full moons are wonderful for releasing old emotional patterns, but this one will be especially cathartic.

Full moons are a time of culmination, so expect a turning point in your intimate relationships. Sex and intimacy will be your focus. Your finances, and material security, have also been on your mind, thanks to the Sun in Gemini, but during the full moon, your focus will shift to what your partners can offer—emotionally, materially, really on every level. Other complex financial issues, like loans, debts, or taxes, as well as inheritances, may be secondary themes during this exhausting and emotional full moon.

You ruling planet, Venus, connects with Mars on the day of the full moon, June 9, which will help you communicate your complicated (and profound—anytime Sagittarius energy is involved, you know it will be deep as hell) emotions. The energy is helpful and understanding when Venus and Mars connect in the sky, so it's unlikely you'll feel alone.

You'll hit a rough patch on June 15 when the Sun, in Gemini, opposes Saturn, in Sagittarius, and on June 18, when Mercury, in Gemini, opposes Saturn. Saturn is the planet of obstacles and boundaries, so don't expect things to go your way.

Commit to your self-care routine—there are major downer vibes in the air, and your self-esteem may suffer as rejection seems to come from all sides. Stress about money will flare, and you'll feel like you don't have enough or "what it takes." People will be ultra-critical.

But don't be too hard on yourself. Failure is a part of life, and you might find areas where you can improve—but don't forget, your value isn't based on how much you can offer others, or how much money you make. You're important and special simply because you are. Don't let anyone, not even Saturn, make you feel shitty about yourself!

Easier vibes flow on June 20 when Venus, in your sign, Taurus, connects with dreamy Neptune in Water sign Pisces. Hang out with friends and forget about all your problems! Neptune loves to escape, and Venus loves to indulge. Grab a friend and get lost in music, cocktails, prayer—whatever it is you're into!

You'll feel a shift in energy during the summer solstice when the Sun enters Cancer, on June 20, or 21, if you're on the East Coast. The next day, June 21, Mercury enters Cancer and meets with the Sun. Your mental acuity, and your curiosity, will sharpen; you'll crave stimulation and excitement. Cancer is a psychic Water sign, so expect your intuition to get a boost, too.

Cancer season is a wonderful time to connect with your community, explore your neighborhood, and find new spots to call your home away from home. Call your siblings and catch up with your favorite friends.

A new moon in Cancer arrives on June 23. New moons are all about fresh starts and intentions. For this new moon, reflect on communication, or have a conversation that clears the air.

Again, tapping into your intuition is a wonderful way to work the energy during Cancer season, especially during the new moon. Tap into lunar energy by carrying moonstones or pearls, and brush up on your occult studies; read about psychic development and psychic self-defense.

Your ruling planet, Venus, trines (one of the easiest, smoothest connections a planet can make) power planet Pluto, which happens to be in fellow Earth sign Capricorn, on June 24. Expect passion! Pluto's vibe is complicated: It's the planet of death, it can be shady, but it's also super sexy. Its energy is hot—while this is likely to transfer to your sex life, the energy could also manifest wherever else you choose! Connections made on June 24 will be meaningful—no small talk!

The month wraps up with Mercury, in Cancer, opposing Pluto. Oppositions between two planets are stressful—people are polarized, and it's important to find balance. Mercury is the planet of the mind, and Pluto is an intense energy, often obsessive, jealous, manipulative.

Is there a bright side to Pluto? Yes, it's the planet of transformation—something most people are terrified of. Pay close attention to your communication toward the end of the month. Track how much of it is based in fear. See you in July, Taurus!
