MONTH OF June
It’s been hard to find your footing, Fish, after a spring of so many cosmic changes (Mercury retrograde, two eclipses, Saturn entering your sign!). June offers you a chance to get anchored as the Gemini Sun hunkers down into your fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations. Connect with the people and pastimes that help you feel rooted.
And welcome a few new faces too! Expansive Jupiter is starting its first full month of a year-long trip through Taurus and your locally sourced third house. Get curious about the people in your neighborhood and maybe even get more involved in the community. Support an area business or set up a pop-up shop yourself! Make an impact in the schools, parks or commerce of your town. If you’re not loving where you live, you might start exploring other districts or regions that feel more in sync with your soul.
Retrograde high season begins in the second half of June as Saturn (June 17) and Neptune (June 30) join Pluto in reverse position for the next few months. Both Saturn and Neptune will be reversing through YOUR sign, Pisces, a prompt to slow down and integrate a lot of the new energy that’s come in this spring.

Structured, stoic Saturn moved into your sign on March 7, and it may have felt especially harsh. Perhaps you experience a strong urge to create firm boundaries with people or to pull back from activities that took a lot of time and energy. Your responsibilities may have increased as well. Now, as two planets take reflective backspins through Pisces, you’ll become even more discerning about where you direct your energy.
Editing your friend circle may be part of that process. On June 11, Pluto backs out of Aquarius and into Capricorn until early next year. With this potent planet back in your group-activity zone, the company you keep will influence you greatly. You may reconcile or reconnect with people from your past as well. Did you lose touch with someone who could play an instrumental role in your life mission? Don’t be surprised if they come back into your orbit now.
Ready for some fun, Pisces? Here it comes. Starting June 21, Cancer season begins, and the Sun shifts gears into your playful, pleasure-loving fifth house for a month. Shake off the heavy vibes, get out of the house and go have some laughs with your favorite people. This is also a summer lovin’ season, so welcome some romance into your world as the Sun heats up this passionate zone of your chart!
It’s Gemini season until June 21
Ease into summer with an extra dose of self-care, Pisces. The Sun is in Gemini and your domestic, emotional fourth house until June 21, putting you in the mood to nest and rest. Lighten your social calendar—and your workload, if you can. Even if your job is hectic, slow down and add a personal touch to everything you do. This is a better time for building bonds than locking yourself away to beat an insane deadline. You need (and deserve) some extra support, especially since your feelings could fluctuate hourly during this emo time.
With the Sun journeying through the bottom of your solar chart, focus on fortifying your foundations, especially with home and family matters. Spring-clean, declutter and redecorate Chateau Pisces. Let your creative and crafty side come out, in the kitchen as well. Find some healthy, nourishing summer recipes or check out meal-delivery services with organic ingredients. From guided meditations to a seasonal skincare routine, mindful micro-moments will help anchor you.
Career spotlight at the June 3 Sagittarius full moon
There’s ONE day you won’t want to go off the grid this month, Pisces. The June 3 Sagittarius full moon is your moment to step into your leadership. This annual lunation in your tenth house of professional goals could bring a promotion or recognition you’ve been working toward all year. Since full moons can bring endings, you may transition from one career or professional role into a new one.
Your father or another important man could play into events as the full moon illuminates this sector. Interestingly, Father’s Day in the U.S. this year falls on the NEW moon in two weeks, which will be in your fourth house of mothers. So maybe get an early start on celebrating the special padres in your life today?
Pluto retrograde backs into Capricorn on June 11
Who are the people in your Pisces posse—and how many of them have earned their place on that roster? For the next year and a half, prepare to ponder that question deeply. Shadowy Pluto, the ruler of transformation and the unconscious, has been retrograde since May 1, when it began its backward slide through Aquarius and your healing twelfth house.
On June 11, Pluto will slip back into Capricorn for the rest of the retrograde, staying in your zone of teamwork and friends until January 21, 2024. Next year, Pluto will volley between Capricorn and Aquarius, finally settling into Aquarius for a 20-year run in November 2024—and won’t come back to Capricorn again in your lifetime.
Do you see potential red flags with someone in your circle? Listen to your intuition and take your time. You might have second thoughts about teaming up with someone. Have you checked their references and done enough research? Better to slow down the process and observe, or to test your chemistry on a small trial project. Minimize risk by getting all your questions thoroughly answered rather than just leaving it all in other people’s hands.
Friends who consistently cause drama or just bring you down to a lower vibe might not make the final cut when Pluto moves on to Aquarius again in late 2024. Instead of dropping down into negativity (gossip, complaining or worse), hold a high standard. Others can choose to elevate their energy to meet you up there, and if you refuse to compromise, there’s a much better chance that they will.
Saturn turns retrograde in Pisces on June 17
Pause those ambitious solo plans—or at least slow down and assess your progress. On June 17, structured Saturn turns retrograde in Pisces and will reverse through your sign until November 4. If you’re feeling overloaded by something you’ve recently taken on, that’s okay. But don’t keep pushing ahead without getting the real support you need.
First agenda item: Make sure your grand vision is being built on a firm enough foundation, with a clear idea of the steps you need to take and how much time and money are required to pull this off. Saturn’s annual four-and-a-half-month retrograde is ripe for personal growth or to get advanced training in an area where your skills need development. While it might feel frustrating to pace yourself, later this year you’ll be so glad you took the time to do this right. Think of your dreams as a marathon, not a sprint!
The Gemini new moon is on June 18
Time to plant some roots, Pisces? The June 18 Gemini new moon opens a new six-month chapter for home and family. If you’re considering a move, this is the perfect day to begin a serious search, put the word out for a roommate or to list your property with a reputable agent. Set your sights on the corresponding November 27 Gemini full moon since seeds planted today could take until then to fully manifest. Love where you live? This new moon could inspire you to refresh your decor or tackle a part of your home that you haven’t finished.
The fourth house rules women and mothers. A key female or a maternal figure could play into events now, perhaps opening doors for you or sparking up an important conversation. Quality time with your loved ones becomes a priority at this new moon, which also happens to fall on Father’s Day this year. Although the ladies in your life will play a central role, share some love with the special dads too. If you spend time with your own father, you might help him with a household task or look through some nostalgic old photos together.
Summer solstice! Cancer season starts June 21
On June 21, you can finally surrender to the spirit of fun! Right as the summer solstice arrives, the Sun swings into Cancer and your passionate fifth house for a monthlong soiree. Romance can heat up, along with your desire for adventure. Craving a summer fling—or just a bit more excitement?
With el Sol in this passionate and flirty sector, turning heads could become your new hobby. Pump up the glamour and don’t play TOO coy—if you’re interested, let ’em know. You could also make major headway on a creative brainchild. Pour your imagination into a passion project. Let yourself get messy with paint, instruments, ingredients—the point is to express yourself fully and passionately!
Mars-Uranus square June 25
When push comes to shove, your surrendered sign is happy to hand control of the reins to someone else and just ghost the scene. You’re more lover than fighter! But with combative Mars in Leo and your micromanaging sixth house until July 10, things are different now. You’re not prepared to roll over and submit, and in the last few days of the month, that class="body-el-link standard-body-el-link" could set off serious fireworks.
When Mars squares off with volatile Uranus in your communication zone this June 25, a rebellious comment could be taken as fighting words. We’re not saying someone doesn’t deserve to be put in their place. But when you take that job into your own hands, it seldom works out. Find a healthy outlet for your frustration, even if that means writing an angry email and pressing “save to draft.” The most important thing is to get these upset feelings out of your head and heart and to regain your compassionate Piscean perspective.
Neptune turns retrograde June 30
Starting June 30, your planetary ruler Neptune will turn retrograde in Pisces, joining staunch Saturn in its backtrack through your sign. Between now and December 6, Neptune retrograde could prompt an internal review and deep self-reflection. With the foggy planet making a U-turn in your first house of self and identity, you might (rightfully) question the trajectory you’ve been taking this year.
Examine everything from your priorities to your appearance to where you’re spending your time. Are you getting the ROI you want? If not, Neptune retrograde could deliver a wakeup call. As the planet of sacrifice, Neptune can tempt us to give too much of ourselves to others. But there’s a limit to your compassion, especially if it starts leaning toward co-dependence. If you’re feeling tapped out while everyone else is thriving, put your own metaphorical oxygen mask on first.
Healthy living and loving is on the menu this June as both love planets, Venus and Mars, spend the majority of the month in Leo and your sixth house of wellness. Whether you’re tackling a fix-it project with your partner, working out together or analyzing your own dating habits, your mission this month is to balance your mind, body and heart. Make “acts of service” your go-to love language while this helpful zone of your chart is activated. (Ask for what you need too!)
Watch for a critical streak under the influence of Mars, which is in Leo from May 20 to July 10. Mars can ramp up tension, and while it’s in this flaw-finding zone, bickering and finger-pointing could turn things petty. With summer approaching and more skin showing, body image issues can also flare. Ease up on overanalyzing every little move. Thanks to Mars in this fitness-focused zone, exercise could be a mood-saver. Channel your worries into a good workout instead of scrolling through an ex’s Instagram or fretting about what they meant when they said THAT.
Luckily, sensual Venus comes to the rescue on June 5, joining Mars here and helping you relax into your natural beauty and a state of greater self-acceptance. Slow down, spend time outside and reconnect with the rhythm of life. Give your body some TLC! Make a concerted effort to reduce stress in your own life and in your relationships. The sixth house rules pets, and with Venus and Mars here, you could adopt a furry friend or even meet someone intriguing at the dog park. (Stranger things have happened!)
Venus is in Leo for an extended visit, staying until October 8. This is a mixed blessing since Venus is retrograde from July 22 to September 3, a time that can challenge even the strongest relationships. While this is still a few weeks off, you could get an instant sneak preview: The day Venus enters Leo (June 5), it will oppose shadowy Pluto in Aquarius, flashing some of the buried issues—or intriguing secrets—that could come to light during Venus retrograde next month. Do you flip-flop between dropping your boundaries too much and becoming overly rigid and controlling? This could be a revealing time that helps you find a healthier middle ground instead of letting anxiety run the show.
Are the basics of your work in place, Pisces? From May 20 until July 10, motivator Mars is in Leo and your sixth house of efficiency, helping you focus on practical matters. The sixth house also rules helpful people, so you may decide to hire a service provider or outsource part of your work to a capable specialist.
You’ve probably made headway on sorting through files, decluttering and revamping your most basic systems. Pay attention to your budget, the finer points of contracts and the details of big projects. The so-called “little stuff” is hardly insignificant.
Does one of your ideas have potential to turn into a business? This month, curious and expansive Jupiter settles firmly into Taurus and your communication sector, helping you develop your concepts and explore an entrepreneurial path. Jupiter also rules education, and in this curious, info-hungry sector of your chart, you might sign up for a class to polish up your skillset or to gain new subject matter expertise that you can teach, write or speak about.
Getting a little extra knowledge certainly won’t hurt, especially since some of your plans will warrant deeper study and research. With structured Saturn (June 17) and your ruler, hazy Neptune (June 30), both turning retrograde this month, some of your ambitious plans may be up for reevaluation. Do these truly feel aligned for you, Pisces? Saturn’s move into Pisces on March 7 may have taken you by surprise, redirecting your priorities and creating new opportunities for leadership that you didn’t have before.
