As we wade into the emotional waters of Cancer season, this week is an invitation to explore the depths of our relationships. On the 26th, Venus finds herself at the crosshairs of the nodes of fate, encouraging us to confront our fears around intimacy and take bold steps towards deeper connections. This influence may push us to leap into new romantic adventures with courage and openness.
Mercury trine Saturn on the 26th brings a grounding energy, highlighting the importance of persistence and perseverance in anything that’s feeling a little scary right now. Then on the 29th, Mercury sextile Uranus sparks stimulating conversations and keeps things exciting!
Adding to the vibrancy, Venus sextile Mars on the 29th brings a playful, sensual vibe to relationships. Connections that have been nebulous get clarified now. This is a wonderful time for dates and making auspicious connections.
Everything leads to Saturn stationing retrograde on the 29th. Think of Saturn retrograde as the summer vacation that comes after a long school year. While we still have some responsibilities, this period is more about integrating the lessons we've learned rather than taking on any new tasks. Saturn won’t station direct until November. I recommend taking this time in between to reflect, regroup and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)

Your Monthly Horoscopes: June 2024
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
A lot of your growth over the past year has been mental rather than material. Taking a step back from your usual grind and doing some much needed work behind the scenes will pay off in the long run even if it feels like a lonely slog right now. As Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, take a moment to compare your mindset now to what it was a year ago. Isn’t it amazing how far you’ve already come?
This week’s mantra: “Distance.”
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
A big question for you over the last year has been: where do I belong? As you step into a new career, purpose or life direction, it’s become obvious that you can’t hang out with the same people you did five years ago. Your community is changing in all areas of your life. As Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, take a moment to reach out and thank everyone who’s been in your corner through this transformation.
This week’s mantra: “Quality.”
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
The last year has seen you take on an immense amount of responsibility. Whether you’ve been awarded, promoted, become a mom or all of the above, you’ve had no choice but to take your current role very seriously. This resoluteness has brought you closer to some people and alienated you from others. As Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, take a moment to pause and sit in gratitude for all that’s transpired. You really did that.
This week’s mantra: “Recognize.”
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
The last year has opened up a whole new world of opportunities for you. You’ve gone abroad or back to school or down self-guided research rabbit holes. If the goal was expanding your vision, you’ve more than exceeded expectations. As Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, it’s time to pause the active world-building and take a step back. Take note of how much you’ve already accomplished as you regroup for what’s next.
This week’s mantra: “Clearing.”
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
For the last year you’ve been put in many uncomfortable situations. Each has forced you to speak up and create boundaries where you previously had none. None of this is glamorous work (and trust me, I know you love to look glam). As Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, give yourself a break from all the catharsis. Think about where you were this time last year: are you proud of how much you’ve reclaimed?
This week’s mantra: “Divide.”
Virgo (August 23 - September 23)
Whether you broke up or got married this year, you’ve learned so much about how you want to structure your closest relationships. As Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, you might find yourself in the midst of another big talk about commitment. This week brings one final compromise before you can take a step back and enjoy what you’ve already built.
This week’s mantra: “Devotion.”
Libra (September 23 - October 21)
In the past, you did what you had to do to get through some hard times. This year has been about finding more supportive ways to meet your needs. In the process, you’ve dealt with challenges to your health, fitness and daily routine. As Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, you might be going through one last crunch to get a lot of stuff done. Clear your calendar for lots of rest on the other side.
This week’s mantra: “Health.”
Scorpio (October 22 - November 21)
You’re not interested in casual sex or random parties in the way you used to be. Over the last year, you’ve discovered that commitment and devotion can just be as fun doing things purely for the LOLs. As Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, you’re sitting with the deep satisfaction that comes with sticking to something. Take a moment to pause and think about where you were this time last year. How have you opened your heart?
This week’s mantra: “Constant.”
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
Things have gotten very serious for you at home over the last several months. Whether you’re moving in with your long-term partner, dealing with family affairs or renovating your garage, the point is to make sure that your foundation is solid. As Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, this week brings one final push to get those systems in order. Take a moment to reflect on all that’s gotten more reliable since this time last year.
This week’s mantra: “Ground.”
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
You’re known for being a “serious” person with “serious” goals, but most of your growth over the last year has taken place through tiny moments in your daily life. While taking a long walk with a friend this week, you might have an unexpected "aha" moment. As your ruling planet Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, you might be feeling sluggish. But take a moment to be grateful for all the things you love about your little life.
This week’s mantra: “Routine.”
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
So much of the last year has been about frugality. It hasn’t been easy to get real about your money like this, but all that work has actually helped build your self-confidence. As your ruling planet Saturn stations retrograde on the 29th, this week brings one final push to save or meet another financial goal. Once you get there, take a moment to step back and feel proud of yourself. That was all you.
This week’s mantra: “Collect.”
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
It hasn’t been easy to be you this year, Pisces. Not saying that everything has been bad, but you’ve had to face constant challenges to your health, image and sense of self. As Saturn stations retrograde in your sign on the 29th, you, more than anyone else, are feeling the burnout and exhaustion. But when you take a step back, you might realize that you’re stronger than ever. What’s helped build that muscle?
This week’s mantra: “Repeat.”
