Monthly Horoscopes June 2017
Here comes a month to really hone in on your self-care as motivator Mars moves into the homey sign of Cancer on June 5. This isn’t the most cozy placement for the planet that rules ambition, drive and competition. Mars wants to go faster, stronger, higher and Cancer’s is all about the chill life. Mars will actually be in this part of the sky through July 20, and is joined by the sun as we officially enter Cancer season on June 20. If anything, the message from the cosmos is loud and clear: Focus any excess energy this month on things that make you feel good at soul level.
It’s a feel-good vibe that’s further enhanced by Venus’s move into Taurus on June 6. Venus governs love, sensual pleasure, fashion, and delicious food and drink, and she is oh so at home in Taurus! (One of the signs she rules, along with Libra). Can you try to practice the concept of healthy indulgence this month? Get in the kitchen and whip up some decadent vegan desserts, book a massage, and check out your local consignment store for some ethical designer finds.
The other big news this month is Neptune going retrograde in Pisces on June 14. Neptune is the planet that rules our imagination, our intuition, and that connects us to the idea of a universal love. When Neptune is at full power, we can become confused, and prefer to see the world through rose-tinted glasses. When it’s in retro however, it’s like the mist clears and we can effortlessly read between the lines. Kind of like the opposite of a Mercury retro phase! This retro will last through November 22, and it’s time to trust every hunch or gut feeling, and pay extra attention to messages in your dreams.

Mantra: “I am ready to practice radical self-care.”
In the stars: Time to cultivate some “higher-selfishness,” Cancer! Your sensitive nature means nurturing others comes easy for you, but when was the last time you turned that super sweet mama energy on yourself? And this goes deeper than cooking yourself a nice meal or making sure you get your vitamins. Mars in your sign all month is asking you to prioritize your own needs across the board— as alien as this might feel to you. BTW this does NOT mean hiding away out of sight. If anything, it will help you get clear about the people who truly fill you up and make you feel amazing. Making the time in your diary for these folks will feel like a self-love practice in itself! You could also find yourself drawn to books that help cultivate feelings of self-worth—in fact Ruby’s new book Material Girl, Mystical World is a great place to start!
In your life: Imagine yourself surrounded by all the things that make you feel amazing in the most loving, healthy way. If this brings images of being surrounded by a sea of hotties or chocolate cake, fine — but dig a bit deeper. What truly feeds your soul? Hip hop dance class? Gardening? Volunteering at an animal shelter? Organizing a beach clean up day? Your days should be full of the things that bring you the most joy and the most love. Let this task be yours in the coming month. Yes, you still have to do laundry. But do it somehow like you love it. With a bestie. Playing your fave tunes. Turn everything into an act of love.
In your closet: Anything that triggers body image issues has gotta go. Each item of clothing you put on can ADD something to your vibe, so be careful not to wear things that take energy away or make you feel uncomfortable. Any time you are triggered with comparing your body or look to others, reframe it. Tell yourself a new story: that you are amazing and strong and takes good care of you.

Mantra: “Hurt feelings are ready to be healed.”
In the stars: Time to let is go and move ON, Leo! You’re not one to hold a grudge — you’re way too proud to hang out in victim territory if you ever feel like you’ve been wronged. But somewhere in the not too distant past is a situation that hurt more than you let on, and this month Mars wants you to find a healthy outlet to process any lingering anger about it. Situations in your work or school life will prove time and again how freaking awesome you are, boosting your self-esteem as you rack up some serious accolades. So how come you keep allowing the haters to burst your confidence bubble? After Neptune goes retro on June 16 will be the perfect time to enact a witchy ritual to lay that to rest once and for all. Don’t even know what that means? Sign up for Moon Club and find out at the June 24th New Moon!
In your life: Newton said “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” This is true for life Leo! Anytime you make waves, you stand up for yourself, you make changes in your life and there is an impact. The people around you feel the changes and they can react with jealousy, rage, or love. But your growth and shifts will have reactions. Don’t let it get your down. Block and delete. Shake it off. Use some sage and cleanse it out. Do a ritual and protect your vibes. You have major shining to do and we want nothing to stop you!
In your closet: What does a gentle lion wear? A sensitive lion? A lioness protecting her baby cubs? How does this apply to your look? Well, translate that into how you dress. Less need for attention and asserting yourself into the limelight. Enjoy the subtlety of this and how your magic and personality have the ability to speak volumes beyond cloths.

Mantra: “I am surrounded by people who make me come alive.”
In the stars: Your excitement about life is rising with the summer temperatures, Virgo! You’ve been going through some pretty emo times lately, and as the days get lighter and lighter so does your mood. Time with your tribe shoots to the top of your priority list from early June through the end of July, and everything from picnics with friends to group work projects will feel especially enlivening to you. Recent discoveries about yourself and the world could also have left you feeling more confident than you have in ages, and sharing your always on-point opinions with others could lead to progress in all areas of life. When it comes to one-on-one relationships, you’re super psychic about the needs of others after Neptune goes retro on June 16. Pay attention and play nice.
In your life: You can go into your own zone sometimes and be a lil worker bee with your head down, keeping things to yourself. Now is not that time. Be in your mighty wolf pack and let your voice, your spirit, and your amazing personality shine there. As summer approaches it’s time to get out in the world, shine bright, and do your thang for everyone to see. Whether it’s a new project, an adventure group who you go weekending with, or some movement at work — it’ll be a time to stand up and hold your head high.
In your closet: Pull out the sparkles, the vavoom outfits, the head turners, the statement pieces. Big hats, big sunnies, bold colors! And a HUGE smile. It’s shine-on time here, Virgo, so do whatever you want. This will also inspire your friends and you may notice them also dressing bolder and brighter to stay in line with your pizazz.

Mantra: “I have the self-worth to stay true to my path.”
In the stars: There’s no stopping you this month, Libra, as Mars powers into your career zone through the end of July. Joined by the Sun at the end of the month, this could see you reaching way beyond your comfort zone — but you really don’t have much choice! It’s a case of strike while the iron is hot, as some scorching opportunities present themselves. Your general MO is to bend over backwards to accommodate the needs of others, meaning you naturally shy away from competition, but acting fast will mean putting yourself first for once. You can do it! Especially since Neptune will be inviting you to look at ways you can truly be of service in the world from mid-month onwards. You have a beautiful healing message for the world Libra, you know you do, and now’s the time to claim what you need to bring it.
In your life: It’s not time to be shy — or to worry about how everyone around you is going to react to what you’re doing. Or who you are becoming. You don’t have time for that. You don’t have time to pick up everyone around you and make sure they come with you as you step into your greatness. That would slow you down so much. It’s okay to focus on YOU for a while. Not worry about everyone. Not worry about what others think. Just be you for you and do you for you. Sound scary? GREAT. That’s the point.
In your closet: Step out of the comfort zone! How can you budget a little funds towards getting a few pieces that you LOVE and feel amazing in? Devise a summer look that brings a little lightness into your feet.

Mantra: “My world expands as I focus on the big picture.”
In the stars: It’s within your power to reshape the way you see the world this month, Scorpio. The planets have you in full-on seeker mode, as you take a moment to look up and look out and take in the big picture. You tend to get super-focused on the task in hand, which is great for getting s*it done. There is literally no stopping a Scorp with a prize in her sights. But what tends to get left out of the equation is space for simple awe and wonder for the planet we inhabit. Mars in the part of your chart that appreciates other cultures could find you craving adventures of the mind, body and spirit, and with Venus accenting your long-term love prospects, you may even get swept off your feet by an exotic stranger! Hello summer of love.
In your life: This month is a great month to look outside yourself Scorpio. Where in your community could you put some time and effort? Who or what needs help? How could you join forces with some other people to give back your time, energy, and effort to others or the planet? It could be as simple as helping in your local community garden. Or adopting a grandparent at a senior’s home. Perhaps it’s organizing a book club for your posse to keep in the know about current events. This energy is going to sweep you into a new zone where all kinds of fun will happen.
In your closet: Let your clothes tell a story of how much you care this month. Let your fashion choices be conscious. Let your clothes have a voice that tells who you are. Notice what you wear that buys into old habits and old stories about your body, your finances, and your identity. What are you willing to shed? What can you let go of? There is lightness and joy to be found in the way you express. Play with it. Find it. Don’t be afraid of it! It will make you shine.

Mantra: “Feeling my feelings is the key to my well being.”
In the stars: You could find yourself more introspective than usual this month Sag, as the cosmos puts the focus on your feelings. It’s not that you’re afraid to go there when it comes to your emotional life—your natural optimism and outward looking mindset means you’re usually too excited about your next big adventure to stay still long enough to listen. But now Mars is forcing you to pay attention, joined by the Sun in the deepest part of your chart on June 20. This may not feel comfortable at first. Watch out for any times you feel angry or frustrated as clues that it may be time to look more closely at what’s lurking underneath. Staying super healthy through diet and exercise will help you maintain a positive mindset, as will doubling down on your self-care.
In your life: I know you love to make plans, go on trips, adventure big and hard, soar to the moon. But sometimes this can be an escape of your feelings Sag friend. Deep in the muck and mud and grime under your feet there are jewels hiding. They may seem like they are covered in sh*t. Like annoying emails. Friends that are you pissing you off. Work projects that aren’t feeling good. But if you can pull them out of the mud and wash them off you’ll find what you are looking for. But pulling them out means dealing with the frustration, the annoyance, the sadness. Whatever rises and not overlooking any detail.
In your closet: This month it’s focus more on body and health than your look Sag. That may sound boring but it isn’t! It’s essential. Gentle yoga. Walks with good tunes. Caring for your body vs. putting on wild looks. You don’t have to become boring, don’t worry! It’s more like just shifting the focus for a moment so you can strengthen and cleanse the underneath part. Think salt baths. DIY foot scrubs and face masks. Self massage. Enjoy it and take time with it!

Mantra: “I open up to love AND I protect my heart.”
In the stars: Your closest relationships get an injection of passion this month, which could be as fiery as it is exciting. Who are the people that really light you up? The ones you love madly and the ones who drive you mad! You’ll find yourself drawn to them like a moth to a flame, and with Venus entering the part of your chart ruling passionate love affairs, the stage is set for a serious summer fling! Just be careful not to get burned. One of our favorite authors Danielle LaPorte is all about protecting your heart so that you can keep it wide open, which means one word Capricorn —boundaries. Neptune going retrograde in your communication zone mid-month could also see you reading between the lines, and what feels like paranoia could be your intuition at work. Listen to your gut first and THEN follow your heart.
In your life: What makes your heart open the widest? What softens you up like no other? How often do you feel that way? I want you to practice that feeling. In the shower. Before bed. Wherever you can. And then practice having a beautiful, strong sturdy fence around you. That you can see over. You can wave at neighbors. But a fence that keeps people from traipsing on your roses. You get my drift? Practice this! So then when the lovers show up you know how to discern. Practice truly makes perfect-ish.
In my closet: What clothes can you feel vulnerable in AND also protected? Make the metaphor above into a practical practice with the way you dress yourself this month. What does it mean to be revealing, but not show too much? To be soft and open and flow, but still have structure. Think flowy skirt with structured blazer. A hint of leg or cleavage balanced with a high neck or long skirt. Think in duality here. Clunky shoes with lace. Practice your own balancing act in fabrics, colors, and looks.

Mantra: “My well being is my number one priority.”
In the stars: Home is where the heart is this month, Aquarius, as Venus puts the spotlight on family and self-nurturing. The summer social season may be kicking into gear, but all you wanna do it nest! Embrace it. And step up your self-care while you’re at it, as this is a time to really honor your emotional needs and your overall wellbeing. This could also mean a renewed focus on a lapsed fitness regime, as taking care of yourself physically is also top priority with Mars in your health and service sector. Why do these two concepts live together in astrology? The healthier you are, the more energy you have to step up and make a difference in the world! Remind yourself of this and follow your intuition to practices that will feed you, mind, body and spirit.
In your life: The idea of investing time and money into your home and health may be a bit unlike you. Unless investing in the home means collecting exotic treasures and books - investment in the practical may be unlike you. Same goes with health. You may be keen to try the latest flotation tank or alt massage but the basics may bore you. Time to embrace the basics tho! You gotta get the check ups. Do the maintenance. Take your vitamins. Replace stained sheets. Etc. etc. Are you yawning yet? Think of it as having a beautiful foundation for adventure, innovation, world conquer and all the things you love best.
In your closet: It’s the time to fix snags, mend holes, dry clean, organize by color. Get the staple pieces you need. Think practically. It’ll serve you well to do the due diligence. Buying new socks may be the last on your list but do you really want to keep wearing that one with the giant hole in it? Definitely not. Time to let that one go! You don’t have to make a grand statement or prove you’re different every time you leave the house. People will still think you’re amazing even in something simple. Experiment with this! It will give you an inner boost!

Mantra: “My creativity is the gateway to my wildest dreams.”
In the stars: Your mojo is in FULL SWING this month Pisces, as Mars in your creativity and romance sector fills you with a serious lust for life! You’re not known as the most outgoing sign, but you could be mistaken for the life and soul of the party as summer gets underway. With Venus moving into your communication zone, the ideas are also coming thick and fast—make sure you pause long enough to write them down! What’s surfacing now is pure gold, and by the end of the month you’ll get an extra shot of solar energy to help you put them into practice. You’re always super psychic, and this only intensifies when Neptune goes retro in your sign on June 16. Pay close attention to your intuition, and take note of any extra vivid dreams. The cosmos is trying to have a conversation with you!
In your life: The Aerosmith power ballad “DREAM ON” just popped into my head for you. No dreams are too big now. You may have spent a slot of time getting your finances and home in order in the last few months. Years even. That may still be sorting itself. But let yourself pop back into what you do best: Being creative! You are a creative force to be reckoned with and it’s time to let that come center stage again. Let the ideas rip, pitch new projects, stand tall, be loud and proud.
In your closet: Let your look speak a little louder right now. Maybe you’ve been playing it safe for a while but what aspects of your personality do you wanna highlight right now? That you are a creative mastermind? Cool. Show it with your look. Your earrings. Nails. Bag. Let it rip. Share it. Gather images and inspo that support this. Bowie. Prince. Whatever icon speaks to your heart, put them on your desktop and iPhone BG. Get creative. Break fashion rules. Invoke that part of yourself that hates boxes and be whatever you want to be on whatever day! Have fun.

Mantra: “It feels good to park my drive and just enjoy the view.”
In the stars: Self-care, self-care, SELF-CARE! You’ve been the busiest sign of the zodiac for the past few weeks, willfully burning the candle at both ends, and now the cracks are beginning to show. Yes, Aries, you have more energy than most—but even you need a break now and again. This month brings exactly that, as you’re asked to focus on your most tender, babyish needs. Even better, doing so will give you time to work out what truly brings value to your days, be it your material possessions, the work you do, or the people in your life. Your time and energy are your most precious assets—how will you chose to spend them going forward? Taking a minute to stop and smell the roses, to daydream and just drift for a bit could also be super healing on a spiritual level.
In your life: OK if you put your amazing drive aside — who are you? Who are you without your career? Your work? How would people describe you? Your interests? Your persona? Is your career or intense drive overshadowing everything else about you? Spend some time letting the other parts shine! Your hobbies! The books you love! The things that light you up from the inside out! You’ll notice as you embrace your kinks, your quirks, your -isms that people around you will smile with love at all the cute bits of you that are poking their heads out again.
In your closet: Dress for fun this month! Pick themes! Pick looks based on fave songs, movies, icons, poets! Just enjoy it. Do things you haven’t done in a while. Take some risks. Pull the stuff out of the back of the closet that’s been hiding and put it on. Go to dinner in full regalia and laugh your way through it all. Think pleasure, not business this month. It’s going to be so fun! Share you wildness and weirdness online and in pictures and feel the joy spread.

Mantra: “Progress means focusing on one thing at a time.”
In the stars: You’re an ideas factory this month Taurus, as your mind kicks into overdrive! It’s as if every conversation, book, tweet, and magazine article inspires another BRILLIANT idea, to the point you could find it hard to keep up. And with Venus in your sign from June 6 through the end of July, people are also paying attention to all you have to say. Make it count, and also remember to give credit where credit’s due. Neptune goes retrograde in the part of your chart ruling group projects mid-month, which could find you questioning the motives of others. The best way to deal with this? Practice utmost integrity in all that you do and go with your gut when it comes to who to trust. The Sun’s move into Cancer on June 20 will be the time to fuel up your tank and let your ideas fly.
In your life: You may get overwhelmed by all the things going on with you and want to check out with food, drink, sex or something to escape. But instead of being overwhelmed by all the goodness and ideas you have- pick one at a time and break it into baby steps. Whether it’s a home project. A business endeavor. A fitness plan. Break it down into tiny actionable steps. Enjoy each part. Remind yourself “The journey IS the destination.” Each thing you do is the fun part. Make it fun. Appreciate whomever you’re doing it with as well! Express your gratitude for them and find ways to enjoy it all together.
In your closet: Okay, I know you looooove to focus on dressing in major ways. This month trust you know how to do it. Don’t worry as much about your looks. Do you hate hearing that? Sorry to say it but the truth is that that can become a distraction for you! Focus on the tasks at hand and don’t get too caught up in the exteriors this month. What would dressing your inside mean for you this month? If you could couture the shi*t out of your Heart and Soul what would that mean for you? Find a way to make your insides match your outsides this month and it won’t matter what you wear.

Mantra: “I am capable of so much more.”
In the stars: Here comes a month to put some serious thought into your long-term career goals. Yep, just as everybody else is getting ready to kick back and enjoy summer! Mars highlights your self-worth in early June, and through the end of July you could find yourself feeling extra assertive—you know deserve a raise and / or better grades! Being open to this realization could be super healing for you, as it will likely require you to let go some long-held beliefs about what you’re capable of. The space that opens up as a result will be an invitation to dream BIG about your future, especially as it relates to ways you can truly gain influence to make a difference in the world. When the Sun moves into Cancer at the end of the month, it’s time to put your plan into action.
In your life: What big leaps are you working towards? Where in your life is there room to say goodbye to something in order to make room for something else? How to gauge this: ask yourself- “what in my life doesn't feel 100% good?” And then ask “what would make it feel 100% good?” And start breaking down the steps in between. No more times to waste and the stars are in your favor to make waves. But you can't do that from the shallow end! Take the steps to go big and go deep and you'll see the rewards.
In your closet: By reinvigorating your long term goals this does not mean forgetting to reinvigorate your wardrobe! Spruce it up! Throw out those mismatched socks, dress like you are already the the thing you wanna be. Wanna be an award winning director? Study how they dress. Want to be a stylist who turns head on the street? Start now. Don’t postpone your amazingness til you reach where you wanna go — play like you are there and the gap between will become smaller.
