June is Japan’s rainy season, when the humidity and heat really start setting in. With mutable, social Gemini season closing off the spring, June is a time to embrace flexibility and your innate sociability. We’re starting the month in full swing: We’ll be seeing a planetary parade on June 3 – the six planets of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will be in alignment. Planetary alignments of five or more planets are a pretty rare occurrence, and you might feel that you can trust your senses more than usual at this time. Communication planet Mercury also enters its home sign of Gemini on the 3rd, allowing you to connect more effectively with those around you.
On June 20, the summer solstice brings the start of emotional Cancer season. After enjoying the whirl of excitement that comes along with Gemini’s solar return, expect your sentimental and nurturing tendencies to make their presence known. We’ll be having a full moon in ambitious Capricorn on June 21 or 22, depending on your time zone; this mid-year full moon will bring a reality check on your current progress and what lies ahead. Speaking of reality checks, Saturn goes retrograde on June 29, where it’ll continue its backward spin until mid-November. With the planet of structure in retrograde, you’ll need to be honest with yourself about what responsibilities you need to honor.
