Your June 2024 Andscape horoscope

During the first week of June, intellectual Mercury moves home to curious Gemini, which should spark new ideas, engaging conversations, and fun experiences. Whatever ideas we want to run with or connections we hope to make, the new moon in Gemini will offer us an opportunity to plant the seeds. However, since this new moon will be receiving some pushback from serious Saturn in Pisces, we should be prepared to put extra thought and care into achieving our goals. Plus, once ambitious Mars enters laid-back Taurus, we’ll need to shore up all the patience and determination that we can to succeed since progress will be slow going.

With summer just around the corner, many of us will welcome a slower pace. After Mercury zips through Gemini, it moves to tenderhearted and intuitive Cancer. While Mercury is there, we may discover our emotions and intuition driving our thoughts and words more than logic. This might not necessarily be a bad thing, since we could use some extra kindness in many of our interactions and conversations. Too, by following our instincts, we can keep confusion and misunderstandings to a minimum. When loving Venus gets to Cancer, familial bonds and heartfelt connections will be what we crave most. Pleasure will be found in spaces of comfort and nourishment, like being at home or surrounded by lush waters and greenery.

In keeping with this month’s theme, we’re encouraged to slow down once Cancer season begins. Of course, this is easier said than done but since hardworking Saturn is going retrograde in dreamy Pisces at the end of the month, it’s a great time to reconsider our responsibilities and commitments. Before we completely clock out for the summer, the full moon in disciplined Capricorn will aid us in tying up any loose ends so we can fully enjoy the break.
