What does June have in store for your career, love life and friendships? Astrologer Ashley Otero reveals all

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUN 21

You’ll be filled with a sense of purpose and fuelled to speak your mind while the sun and Mercury transit through your sign this month. Your attention will also be directed towards sex and relationships during the full moon on June 9, and while things might get steamy, don’t be surprised if it then becomes a bit stuffy between you and your partner. Commitments could feel complicated around mid-june, so give yourself time to think about any major decisions. Later in the month, the focus will shift towards your sense of self-worth. Try not to let your self-esteem get too tangled up in how much you do or don’t have.

CANCER JUN 22 – JUL 23

During the first half of the month, you’ll have a hyperactive mind, with spurts of energy motivating you to pursue personal projects. Work may require more dedication from you when the full moon arrives on June 9, but don’t feel bad about taking time to look after yourself, too. Late June ushers in your birthday season, bringing you love and attention, and the new moon in Cancer on June 24 offers the perfect chance to update your look or set new health goals. You’ll be feeling quite ambitious around this time – and people will notice your passion. Just be careful you’re not being too pushy.

LEO JUL 24 – AUG 23

June arrives with a boost to your reputation and positive developments on the work front. You have a tendency to gravitate towards the spotlight, and you’ll certainly get to shine this month. But it would also be smart to rest up and enjoy some alone time when you have the chance, because life is set to get busy at the end of June. The new moon on June 24 will bring fresh perspectives and a chance to heal deeply buried wounds. Your intuition will be heightened, but stay open to learning new things, even if you thought you already had the answers.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEP 23

This is a big month for your career goals and you could experience some pivotal moments when it comes to what direction you want to take, especially around June 14. Although much of your attention is on work, the full moon on June 9 will encourage you to take a break and make family your priority. Your ruling planet, Mercury, accompanies the sun’s shift into Cancer on June 22, turning your attention towards your social circle. You’ll love catching up with friends, just keep an eye out for mood swings around June 28. Remember to play nice, Virgo!

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

The first half of the month asks you to broaden your world view and focus more intently on your future plans. Philosophical explorations will have you keen to go beyond your boundaries, but don’t miss out on the satisfaction of smaller accomplishments by forgetting to be present. By the end of the month, you’ll be making progress towards professional goals. The new moon’s arrival on June 24 is a great time to make any wanted changes to your career path (perhaps you’re looking to establish more security) or start a project that speaks to your creative side.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

You can expect your relationships to be much smoother this month. In fact, there will be plenty of opportunities for romance, especially around June 9 and 20. Late June may bring a sense of adventure and dreams about your distant goals. Around the new moon on June 24, consider creating a mood board that illustrates what kind of growth you want to accomplish. Any uncertainty about long-term plans could make you restless, but don’t sweat it – your thirst for knowledge of the larger world will steer you towards productive ideas for whatever lies ahead.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 22

This month is buzzing with activity in the relationship department, but the full moon will shine a spotlight on you on June 9. Make sure you take care of yourself and give yourself special attention – with partnership matters coming into focus around June 18, it’ll be easier to give to others once you’ve been taken care of. Intense issues involving shared resources will be a major theme by the end of the month. Keep in mind that you might need to adjust your expectations to cater to certain deals or agreements between June 25 and 27.

CAPRICORN DEC 23 – JAN 20

Your relationships will be fuelled with passion as much as they’ll be wrapped in tenderness. Early June will make you focus on the mundane details of the every day, but it won’t be without some romance on the side, especially around the full moon on June 9. If you’re single, the new moon on June 24 could mark the start of a new relationship. Coupled up? This is a chance to either renew your appreciation for your partner or part ways if things just aren’t working. If the mood gets too intense between June 25 and 30, take space to cool off before you say something you regret.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

It’s important to make time for things that bring you joy in June. Consider exploring a new hobby or planning a get-together at the start of the month. The full moon on June 9 will present a great opportunity to go to a party and meet new friends, but you’ll also want to prioritise snuggling up on the couch at home before life gets too hectic at the end of the month. By then, you’ll be busy sticking to a daily regimen that will help you move closer to your five- or 10-year goal, and it could zap your energy, but you’ll find yourself increasingly motivated after the new moon on June 24.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

Feelings of confusion around your future and the kind of person you’re evolving into may arise, but there’s also plenty of passion to look forward to. Your world (and the direction it’s taking you in) is shifting a lot lately, and you can expect a change in your status around the full moon on June 9. Look to your relationships for support – those closest to you will be happy to provide it. Come late June, you’ll be encouraged to harness your imagination into creative endeavours. There’s even a chance to enjoy sparks of sexual chemistry if you so desire.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

This month, you may need to adjust some of your long-term goals as you juggle a very busy schedule. The full moon on June 9 will bring attention to your vision for what’s just over the horizon while also highlighting your partnerships (romantic and professional) and where they’re headed. With Mars in Cancer making a number of challenging configurations to other planets, you’ll work hard to find common ground with family members or mend issues in a living situation. Consider initiating any necessary changes to your living space around the new moon on June 24.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

You’re already one of the most attractive signs of the zodiac, but this month there’s an added allure about you. It’s a great time to indulge in a spa treatment or change up your look, especially around the full moon on June 9. The past few months have given you some perspective on your self-esteem and June is all about reclaiming your confidence and enjoying some of the good life. Your schedule could become non-stop towards the end of the month – just be careful you don’t pack too much onto your plate or you could burn out. Your wellbeing comes first.
