In this week's episode we breakdown the astrology of June 2023 and highlight everything you need to know about your June horoscope! We start off June moving through the mutable air sign of Gemini, and end with the cardinal water sign of Cancer. This is a month of many squares imploring us to take action. There are still sweet sextiles and opportunities to tap into our intuition thanks to the water trines from the planets in Cancer to Saturn in Pisces. The Summer Solstice takes place this month, which is a portal for change, and will also experience some of the outer planets beginning their retrograde motion. June is a pivotal month of change and movement.
