General Daily Insight for June 18, 2024

An unusual intensity is surrounding our current emotions. Venus is in the early stages of its tour through security-conscious Cancer, and at 10:12 am EDT, it will squabble with severe Pluto in rebellious Aquarius. This could make it difficult to grasp the best way to channel our feelings. Fortunately, a trine from the Moon in Scorpio to Saturn in Pisces should help calm our nerves, while another lunar angle to Chiron will encourage healing and personal growth at a natural, healthy pace.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

The urge to assist others could be unusually powerful on a day like this. An unusual angle between Venus in your emotional 4th house and Pluto in your altruistic 11th house is encouraging you to open up and share your feelings with others. You may decide to go a step further and do some volunteer work or donate some items that could better serve someone more in need. It’s always good to give, but there’s rarely been a better time, cosmically speaking, to do it.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

There’s pleasure everywhere you look — but that isn’t all there is to focus on. You’re more than happy to stop and smell the roses while Venus tours your upbeat 3rd house, showing you the pleasure on offer. Conversely, the mismatch between Venus and Pluto in your 10th House of Career will force you to change tact. A sudden obligation or assignment may snap you out of your reverie, so don’t be shocked if someone needs you with the best you’ve got to offer.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

You may find yourself questioning certain long-held assumptions or beliefs. A strange angle between Venus in your materialistic 2nd house and Pluto in your philosophical 9th house could leave you wondering if there’s any point to work or ownership or what you’re even aiming for in the long run. It’s okay to ask these questions! You deserve time to acclimate to any internal attitude shifts regarding consumerism. Still, don’t overthink something that doesn’t need to turn your world upside down. Think molehill, not mountain.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Your desire for satisfaction may come at a higher cost than usual. There is a complicated energy overhead as Venus in your intuitive sign locks into an uncomfortable quincunx with Pluto in your 8th House of Shared Resources. You may find yourself checked by someone else’s financial concerns. This may involve a debt or loan, or perhaps an issue of inheritance. Specifics aside, you’ll probably have to stand up for what you want — even if it requires you to be your most serious self.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

You may feel like you’re missing something obvious today. There’s a degree of uncertainty in the air as Venus moves through your foggy 12th house, but that will come into the spotlight when Venus makes an awkward angle to Pluto in your partnership sector. Someone may want or expect something from you, but you can’t imagine why. On the other hand, perhaps your usually clear feelings are impossible to clarify. You’re allowed not to know all the answers, no matter what others expect from you.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Prior obligations may stand in the way of more exciting activities. Pals could be calling you to come play while Venus dances through your outgoing 11th house, but its tense angle to Pluto in your responsible 6th house impacts any potential fun. You’ll probably need to check off a few chores at work before you can meet up with others, or, since this sector also rules your health, you may feel under the weather or more tired than usual. Don’t exert yourself unnecessarily.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

Yes, it is possible to take life too easy. As Venus tempts you to play around and schmooze, the confusing encounter between Venus in your reputation sector and intense Pluto could push you overboard in your search for pleasure and fun. Someone might misinterpret your attitude the wrong way or think you’re not taking things seriously, even if you ultimately are handling things well. Keep up a positive front before allowing yourself to kick back once people aren’t keeping a close eye on you.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

It’s tempting to fly far away, but pressing matters may keep you homebound. A conflicting alignment between Venus in your travel sector and Pluto in your family sector could leave you pinging back and forth between embarking on energetic adventures and curling up on the couch. Perhaps your plans for an exciting day get put on ice by a relative or roommate, or you need to deal with chores around the house before you can dust off your passport. The world will wait.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

People may pry into your private business without even meaning to. With Venus huddled in your private 8th house, you’re possibly prone to keeping your cards close to your chest. Watch out for the miscommunication between Venus and Pluto, currently in your chatty 3rd house! It could have everyone blowing up your phone and knocking on your door — ignoring any “no trespassing” signs. You can’t avoid people easily at this time, so play your cards more carefully than usual.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Money matters may arise in a relationship without warning. Loving Venus is shining a light on your partnership sector right now, but its odd angle to nefarious Pluto in your income zone could leave you feeling insecure about your finances for one reason or another. There may be an imbalance in an important connection that needs to be equalized. Whatever’s going on, this doesn’t need to be a completely awkward process. Lead with compassion — that way, everyone’s needs can be met.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

Be wary of overreacting to something at present. There is an uncommon alignment between Venus in your productivity sector and transformative Pluto in your expressive 1st house. This increases the risk that others will misinterpret your actions, or perhaps the other way around. Someone may do or say something that leaves you scratching your head, only for them not to understand why you don’t seem more pleased with the results. Communication is important, but don’t twist anyone’s arm into seeing your version of things.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

A cosmic fog could obscure your path forward. The planets are narrowing your field of view to encompass solely the positive aspects of life while fun-loving Venus moves through your passionate 5th house. That said, a connection to Pluto in your subconscious sector could leave you concerned that something is off, even if you don’t know what. Don’t force yourself to figure out what is going on! Instead, allow yourself to get comfortable in this temporary phase of unknowing. Clarity should arrive soon enough.
