This is another high-intensity month for you, Leo, with the potent Gemini New Moon from the end of the previous month lighting up your social sector and with Mars also highlighted in your sign. This month also features Saturn and Neptune conjoined in Aries, or your sector of higher mind. They were sextiled by Mercury in this recent New Moon that governs most of the current month, implying that you are seriously investigating in your own way the mystical side of life that counterbalances the strictly logical and rational world of consensus thought. The emphasis on your eleventh or social sector includes your societal contribution, a thought-provoking consideration of where your creativity goes as it moves out into the wider world of your surrounding community. It is also possible that inner wounding comes into the equation of where your philosophical inquiry is taking you. You are primed for action of one kind or another that includes inward-looking investigations of long-buried internal complexes and of finding spiritual glory in the course of ordinary day-to-day activities. The Sagittarius Full Moon of the 11th could be a valuable signpost which casts new light on your creative self-expression as relates to how it manifests, along with your hidden depths, representing a culmination of your developmental arc for this current monthly cycle. The Cancer Solstice of June 20th represents another powerful juncture that more fully emphasizes what is going on below the surface layers of your psyche. Your current evolution leads you toward unconscious elements within you becoming more fully conscious, providing significant clues as to where your most sincere values lie.

Your month begins in the afterglow of the Gemini New Moon from May 26th, activating your eleventh sector of friends, community, and goals. This lunation is light on its feet but deep in its implications. Mercury’s rulership here – alongside its co-presence with the Sun and Moon in Gemini – lends you mental agility and an openness to new connections, while its trine to Pluto in Aquarius in your seventh or partnership sector suggests that certain relationships may carry deep transformational weight for you right now. Adding further dimension, this is the first lunation with Saturn and Neptune freshly conjunct in early Aries! They also now form a sextile to Mercury nearby Sun and Moon in one direction and Pluto in the other. Transformation is in the air for you along with profound shifts in your relationships, also affecting your beliefs and values. The presence of Saturn and Neptune together in your ninth sector of higher mind opens a new life chapter, and points to an emerging spiritual or philosophical framework that can support your collaborative personal growth. You might feel called to reflect upon the values that underpin your attitude toward groups and communities that you favor, or to reflect on the long-term ripple effects of the work you're doing now. There’s something stirring within you including who you’re doing it all with, so that clarifying those underlying shared intentions could be helpful in shaping your path forward.
On June 5th, Venus enters Taurus moving into your tenth sector of vocation and public presence. This brings warmth, charm, and possibly new visibility to your professional life. It’s a time when creative expression and aesthetic values may influence your career path. You’re supported in forging a direction that feels both beautiful, authentic, and aligned with your voice and values. Pay attention to what draws your desire, not just your sense of duty.
Another major alteration arrives on June 9th, as Jupiter enters Cancer and your twelfth sector of dreams, imagination, and unconscious process, beginning a year-long cycle of introspective growth. Jupiter’s exaltation there is subtle but profound for you. This presence doesn’t shout, but it sings in your dreams, intuitions, and moments of quiet knowing. This is a time to replenish your spiritual reserves, tend your inner flame, and prepare for future emergence. Yet Jupiter’s square to Saturn and Neptune in Aries may stir questions about belief, meaning, or the direction of your growth. You might wrestle with tensions between faith and fact, or between your personal truth and collective narratives. These aren’t distractions – they’re essential waypoints on your evolving path.
On June 11th, the Sagittarius Full Moon lights up your fifth house of creativity, romance, and self-expression. This is a Fire sign lunation in harmony with your own fiery nature, offering a potent release and illumination. Your creative self-expression is kindled, with the balance of questioning for who and for what subset of society you are aiming. You may feel an urge to create, to declare yourself from the heart, or to let go of a dysfunctional storyline in favor of a better one that does not stifle your joy. Jupiter is emphasized again, being the ruler of this Full Moon, echoing its reverberations from the depths. There’s an energy here encouraging you to link your creative outlets with your subconscious, allowing your inner palace to be made manifest through your pen, paintbrush, or poetry. This Full Moon reminds you: pleasure and passion are not frivolous. They’re fuel for the soul.
The Cancer Solstice arrives on June 20th as the Sun enters your twelfth house, conjoining with Jupiter in his square to Saturn and Neptune. This is a powerful moment of luminous stillness and psychic depth for you. The Sun–Jupiter conjunction of this lunation can inspire dreams of vast scope, while the square to Saturn and Neptune challenge you to sort flights of fancy from your central truth. There’s also a pair of Yods unfolding – involving the square between Sun-Jupiter with Saturn-Neptune, as well as their focus on Pluto in Aquarius and Mars in Virgo. This energy is complex and dynamic, but its point of outlet indicates the importance of managing your resources and prioritizing your sense of self-worth. This timing asks that you also keep a close eye on your evolving experience of personal power in the context of relationships. You may want to ask: How do you share and balance the reciprocal nature of power in your close connections? There’s a sense of precision being called for in this time; clearing away the clutter and tending with discernment to where you put your energy becomes paramount.
In the last full week of the month, the Cancer New Moon of June 25th deepens this inward pull. Conjunct Jupiter and surrounded by supportive aspects, this lunation marks the beginning of a cycle of spiritual renewal, quiet creation, and trust in what is unseen. It may not feel flashy, but it may very well be foundational. This may be a time to retreat, recharge, and realign with your deepest intentions. You could notice your dreams and inner voice with important messages for you, so that the following month might be a potent time to tend to potential forgotten places within your inner garden. Sometimes the most courageous thing you can do is listen in the dark and follow a meandering path to places less travelled. You win when you allow yourself time and space to peer with compassion and curiosity into the corners of your own internal mysteries… and you may be surprised by what you find there.
