Pretty Venus moves into Cancer on Sunday, June 16, just in time for Father’s Day. You may find yourself thinking about the big life or death questions around this day. If you’re on good terms with your dad, make sure to give him a call. If this holiday is challenging for you, make sure to continue to self-sooth and connect with friends. The following day, on Monday, June 17, Mercury joins Venus in Cancer, and all these planets aligning in the fellow water sign could leave you feeling extra philosophical.
The sun moves into Cancer, kicking off Cancer season, on Thursday, June 20. This date is also the Summer Solstice, aka the witchy holiday Litha, aka Midsummer. Yes, that’s the holiday of wearing flower crowns and burning cheating boyfriends in bear suits. It’s also when they say the fairies come to hang out with humans. While summer generally has a fun reputation, with the sun in your philosophical 9th House, you actually might be a little bit prone to melancholia. It’s okay. Just remember to keep practicing self-care, Scorpio. Wear sunscreen to take care of your skin during the summer months and soothe your emotions with ample rest.
Ongoing conversations may come to a head during the full moon in Capricorn and your 3rd House of Communication on Friday, June 21. While this sounds healing, keep in mind that full moons can be intense times. Continue the theme of self-soothing to avoid fights. Remember that you can avoid an argument by rehearsing a conversation beforehand, keeping your calm, and listening to the other person’s side with empathy. June asks you to grow up in many ways, and part of that is learning how to keep your cool through self-care.
Finally, June comes to a close when the strict planet Saturn goes retrograde in dreamy Pisces and your 5th House of Pleasure on Saturday, June 29. Saturn’s backward dance sparks a reevaluation, and with it affecting your 5th House, that means that you’ll allow yourself to unwind in new ways and take an important look at what actually makes you feel good. See you in July.
