The Horoscope for June 1st - 9th, 2024

Welcome to June, stargazing pals!

May's astrology has blessed us in so many ways—some we've already noticed, while others are quietly brewing in the background of our lives. With several powerful planets in play, we've been nudged towards deeper connections, broader understanding, and greater flexibility, even as big changes unfold.

For some of us, May was a welcome break from the hectic pace of recent months, urging us to settle into projects, places, and relationships that offer stability, reliability, and security.

But for others, May highlighted areas where we're itching for change. The Universe gently pushed us to let go of rigid beliefs, inject innovation into our relationships, and ditch the idea that dependable resources are scarce.

No matter how you slice it, May was a pretty stellar month, and if it doesn’t feel that way quite yet, I invite you to take a beat as we enter June and reflect on all the steady trajectory of your growth. Especially since  June comes equipped with enough stimulation, and a few more sweet treats, to kick up dust as we connect the dots of our journey.

Get those notebooks and voice memos ready to record, because the first week of June brings a big gust of exciting ideas, networking opportunities, and big “ah-ha” moments as the New Moon in Gemini sets us up with fresh cycles of information, and Venus and Mercury bounce their way through Gemini season to dominate the beginning of June’s astrology!

On June 6th, 2024, we are graced with our first lunation of the month, the New Moon in Gemini, joined by Venus and squared by Saturn, creating a cosmic agenda that blends excitement with a touch of restraint. New Moons signify fresh beginnings, and in Gemini, the energy is vibrant, communicative, and intellectually stimulating.

With Venus in the mix, there's a focus on relationships, stability, and harmony. This alignment infuses the air with social charm, making it an ideal time for connecting with others, expressing affection, and appreciating the beauty in our surroundings.

However, the square aspect to Saturn introduces a note of caution and discipline. Saturn's influence encourages us to approach our desires and relationships with maturity and responsibility. We may encounter obstacles or limitations that require patience and perseverance to overcome. This aspect reminds us to be mindful of our commitments and to prioritize long-term stability over short-term gratification. Not always the easiest ask for Gemini energy!

Overall, the New Moon in Gemini conjunct Venus and squared by Saturn invites us to embrace the duality of life: the excitement of new beginnings and the need for conscious groundedness and discipline.

Remember, New Moon signify the beginning of a 6 month cycle that will come to fruition later in the year, during the Full Moon in Gemini, and while all new moon cycles are a great time to rest, reflect, and set intentions, no one loves a good journal session the way Gemini does!

Here are a few prompts to consider as you set the tone for the New Moon in Gemini:

1. How can I embrace curiosity and intellectual exploration in my life during this lunar cycle?
2. What new ways can I communicate and connect with others to foster deeper, more meaningful relationships?

June 8th, 2024 - Venus in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces

We wrap June’s first week on June 8th with one of the first constricting currents of the month unfolds when Venus in Gemini forms a challenging square aspect with Saturn in Pisces. This cosmic combination is known for creating a tension between the planet of love and stability and the stern taskmaster of the zodiac.

This alignment may bring about a sense of restriction or limitation in our relationships and financial matters. Venus in Gemini seeks variety, stimulation, and light-hearted connections, but when squared by Saturn, there is a need to confront reality and adhere to responsibilities with firm compassion.

This transit encourages us to take a sober look at our values, desires, and commitments. We may feel a sense of frustration or dissatisfaction in our relationships or financial situations, as Saturn's influence prompts us to address any underlying issues or limitations.

June 9th, 2024 - the Sun in Gemini square Saturn in Pisces
