June 2020 Horoscopes

June begins with a game-changing Lunar Eclipse in philosophical and adventurous Sagittarius (June 5), which pushes us to let go of outdated or counterproductive beliefs, thinking, and habits (especially where love and relationships are concerned). This eclipse will also demand that we improve our fact-checking abilities, and focus on small, incremental goal setting.

Fact-checking and keeping things simple will be particularly important when communicative Mercury goes retrograde in intuitive Cancer on the 18th. As Mercury retrograde periods are better for tying up loose ends rather than beginning new projects, Mercury retrograde in Cancer will also make it difficult to remain objective; making it a better time for sorting out emotional entanglements or matters relating to home and family finances.

By the 20th, the summer officially kicks off, bringing Cancer season along with it, putting the focus on our emotional security and nourishment, especially with the Solar Eclipse in Cancer on June 21. Under this eclipse we can expect emotions to be running high, making self-care and tenderness important. Additionally, this eclipse will push us to focus on things that bring internal reward rather than external.

August 2018 Horoscopes

If things have felt "stop and go" thanks to last month’s eclipses and all the retrograde planetary action we’ve been getting; this month brings us some much-needed momentum. Not only is Mercury moving forward again, but aggressive Mars also turns direct; which should help us with getting plans, projects, and initiatives off the ground. Meanwhile, we’re still in eclipse season with one more eclipse to go; the Solar Eclipse in Leo on August 11, 2018. Under this eclipse, we should expect dramatic new beginnings, fresh starts, and life-changing opportunities that span themes that cover confidence, creativity, romance, and authenticity. With the shifts and changes that are still afoot, it’s a good thing that Mars will be moving back into grounded and responsible Capricorn by mid-month. With Mars in one of their favorite places to be, the energy in the air shouldn’t feel as jarring as it has been over the past few weeks, especially with Mars turning direct by August 27. Couple Mars grounding vibes with the earthy energy of Virgo season (August 23) and we should be able to find the motivation, energy, and the clarity to move into the next phase of our lives. Meanwhile, the Full Moon in Pisces on August 26 will stop by to help us with turning a dream into something real.

July 2018 Horoscopes

Even though Mars, the planet of action is still retrograde, that doesn’t mean that it won’t be an action-packed month. That’s because we’ve got two influential eclipses happening in July, plus Mercury retrograde. The first eclipse lands on July 12, which promises to be an emotional Solar Eclipse in Cancer. Solar Eclipses, which are super-powered New Moons, often mark profound new beginnings in our lives. As a tender and intuitive water sign, eclipses in Cancer often trigger major shifts and opportunities with themes associated with women and children, families, home and our sense of emotional security.
