Happy June and welcome to Gemini season, Stargazers! We’re changing plans, going with the flow, and treating our problems like a fun breakout room puzzle that needs to be solved.
Warm, clear summer nights are here — the perfect occasion to ponder the stars, life, the meaning of the universe. Unless that sort of thing makes you break out into a cold sweat, in which case just stick to enjoying the stars.
The month starts off with a blessed occasion, Mercury returns to direct motion in Taurus on June 3. Can you feel the balance returning to your weary soul? Good. The month continues on with the Summer Solstice on June 21, and a new moon in Cancer on June 28.

Your June horoscope
Gemini
Happy Birthday, you Gorgeous Gems! This is your month to do absolutely zero people pleasing. You are under no obligation to make anyone other than yourself a priority this June (unless you are literally in charge of keeping pets or babies alive, be sure to make space for that). On June 3, Mercury goes direct and we can all lower our shoulders and take a beat to reflect.
This is especially important for you, a sign ruled by Mercury. If your home looks like it was hit by gale-force winds, take some time to make it habitable for yourself. If your personal life is in equally dire straits after that retrograde, make time to journal and rebuild any important bonds that might have gotten a little frayed at the edges.
The Summer Solstice on June 21 will bring warm summer nights and plenty of chances to do some star-gazing. There is a new moon in Cancer on June 28. A moonless sky is the perfect reflecting surface. If you look into it hard enough, you might be able to reveal what you really want for yourself in this next year of life. Be gentle with yourself, but more importantly — let loose! You earned your time to dance.
June strain: You’re standing on the launch pad this month, get ready for the count down to your next adventure. Space Queen is a hybrid strain that’s loved for its sweet, vanilla aroma and users report that it’s a great strain if you’re looking for a mood boost or to forget a stressful day at work.
Cancer
Ah, June! Crabs almost always feel good in the sun (even goth Crabs — admit it). This month will have a lot of sunshine, both real and metaphorical, to go around. On June 3, Mercury returns to direct motion. Breaking that retrograde spell is going to feel so good.
On June 4, however, Saturn goes retrograde in Aquarius. This backwards dance will last a few months, so buckle in and get ready to say “No” a lot. “No” to wasted energy, “no” to people who abuse your kindness. In better news, your ruler, the moon, will be full in Sagittarius on June 14. This is a pairing that encourages us to be playful and warm with those we love.
On June 28, there is a new moon in your sign. Take time to appreciate the blank canvas this presents. If it’s in your control and you want to change it, change it!
June strain: The planets are aligning in your favor this month, crabs. Planet X is an indica strain that was made for days spent melting into the couch or passing a joint around with friends.

Leo
Summer was made for Leos and Leos were made for summer. June will be no exception for you, Lions. Mercury ends its retrograde in pragmatic Taurus on June 3. Friends’ feelings and intentions will begin to align again. On June 4, Saturn goes retrograde in Aquarius. This change will last several months so be prepared to protect your energy and your time.
On June 21, we celebrate perhaps the holiest day of the year for Leos, the Summer Solstice. Be sure to carve out some space to celebrate the glorious sunbeam that you are. Let people know your worth. June 28, there is a new moon in Cancer. Use the energy this produces on creating a routine that is sustainable for you and will make life easier. You’ll be shining bright this month and the right people will notice.
June strain: People will be able to see your sparkle from outer space this month. Spark up some Space Dawg to really get the effect of being weightless in zero gravity. With a modest 18-19% THC, this is a great indica strain to smoke when you need a help settling in for an afternoon nap.
