Mars enters Taurus on June 9th at 12:32am EST
Mars, the planet of action, drive, and passion moves into the steady and practical sign of Taurus on June 9th. This transit brings a shit from the impulsive and fast paced energy of Aries to a more deliberate and grounded approach.
Increased patience and persistence: With Mars in Taurus, our actions become more deliberate. It’s a time to focus on long-term goals and take steady steps toward achieving them. You may find yourself more patient and willing to work through challenges methodically. There’s always a new and better way of doing something, you just have to focus and find it. Implementing new methods is sure to bring different results.
Sensual Pleasures: Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty. This influence can enhance our appreciation for the finer things in life. Enjoying good food, nature, and physical comforts can be particularly satisfying during this transit. Honor your sexual desires and libido through self intimacy or with partner(s). Satisfy cravings with comfort food or treat yourself to gourmet eats. Whatever looks or tastes good, indulge in moderation.
Financial Focus: Taurus is also associated with material possessions and finances. This period is excellent for making strategic financial decisions, budgeting, and investing in things that bring lasting value. Half way through the year is great for a self check in.

Venus, the planet of love, beauty, and all things pleasure moves into the nurturing sign of Cancer on June 17th. This transit emphasizes emotional connections, family, and home life.
Deepening Relationships: Venus in Cancer enhances our desire for emotional intimacy and security. This is a wonderful time to strengthen bonds with loved ones, express your feelings, and create a warm, nurturing environment. Visit your loved ones, plan a date to spend some time, or if you’re unable to physically see them due to distance or schedules, plan a time to have a virtual chat/check in session. These are all great ways to catch up and reconnect after some time apart.
Focus on Home: Cancer rules the home and family. You may feel a strong urge to beautify your living space, engage in home-cooked meals, or spend quality time with family. It’s an ideal time for home improvements and creating a cozy atmosphere. There are multiple ways to go about this as well that can accommodate any budget. Moving, relocating, or taking some time away from your home environment are also options depending on where you are in life and what you need.
Heightened Sensitivity: This transit can also make us more sensitive and empathetic. Be mindful of your emotional boundaries and take time for self-care if you feel overwhelmed by others’ emotions. Use outlets that can double as effective tools such as journaling, vlogging, dancing, creating music/art, etc. All of these are healthy ways to express to how you’re feeling.
Mercury enters cancer on June 17th at 5:06am EST
June 17th seems it will be an eventful day. On this same day, Mercury, the planet of communication, thought, and travel, enters Cancer, joining Venus. This alignment further emphasizes the themes of emotional expression and intuitive thinking.
Emotional Communication: Don’t just expect this coming from other people, check how you interact with others. With Mercury in Cancer, our communication style becomes more heartfelt and intuitive. This is a great time for deep, meaningful conversations where you can express your feelings and understand others on an emotional level.
Intuitive Thinking: Cancer’s influence can enhance our intuitive abilities. Trust your gut feelings and pay attention to your dreams and subconscious messages. You might find new insights emerging from within. It may be helpful to write your dreams or visions down somewhere if you struggle with remembering them.
Focus on Family: Just like Venus in Cancer, Mercury’s presence here draws our thoughts to family and home life. It’s a good time to reconnect with family members, reminisce about the past, and share stories that nurture your sense of belonging. For those no contact or healing family wounds this may be a good time to unpack that part of your life in a safe space such as therapy to gain closure or find meaning.
Embracing Those Gem’s energy
While these significant transits bring shifts in our focus, let’s not forget the core energy of Gemini season. Here are some tips to make the most of this vibrant time:
Stay Curious: Gemini season is all about exploring new ideas and experiences. Go sightseeing, start reading a new book, join a class, or begin studying a subject that interests you.
Socialize: Now that the weather is getting consistently nicer, everyone wants to be outside and enjoy the start of summer. This is the time to plan those dates, trips, and events. Engage in conversations, attend social gatherings, and connect with friends old and new. This is a time to share ideas and enjoy the company of others. It’s important to note that if your social bandwidth is small or your social battery is low you don’t have to force it. It’s important to connect with others when you’re comfortable that way it’s genuine.
Embrace Flexibility: Gemini’s adaptability helps us navigate change with ease. Stay open to new possibilities and be willing to adjust your plans as needed. A huge part of adaptability is being tied to no outcome. Regardless of what happens, being able to pivot well is a major key in life. This lesson might hit different for fixed signs (Scorpio, Leo, Aquarius, Taurus) during this time.
As we navigate these dynamic energies, remember to balance the excitement of Gemini with the grounding influence of Taurus, and the nurturing presence of Cancer. Embrace the duality and adaptability of this season for a harmonious and fulfilling June.
