Gemini season is here to rile up the zodiac and get your travel plans back in motion. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, this fast-paced sign knows a thing or two about jam-packed itineraries and the art of the city break.
On 1 June, Mercury slips into Cancer to slow the pace down ever so slightly. An uplifting conjunction lands on 9 June, when romantic Venus reunites with globetrotting Jupiter for a period of play and pleasure. Whether you’re a proud earth sign or a water baby, this is a supportive conjunction that bodes well for adventures with a romantic or educational twist.
On 14 June, a new moon in Gemini arrives like a breath of fresh air days before the Summer Solstice. All of this fresh-start energy in the air comes to a grand climax on 29 June, when Jupiter springs into fiery Leo for the first time since 2014/2015. This is a monumental year-long transit for the travellers out there, who’ll begin to experience a dramatic shift in a specific area of their chart. Look back to major themes from 2014/2015 for clues and a preview of what’s to come.Â
We recommend using your rising sign for a more accurate reading. All you need is your birth date, time, and location to work out your rising sign. If you don’t know your birth time, you can refer to your sun sign.
Capricorn Rising
Time to reset and get your systems in place. The Sun in Gemini will be illuminating your house of rituals and routines over the next few weeks. Mercury’s movements in Cancer (1 June) bring out your soft side – a rare treat – prompting you to spend quality time with a loved one somewhere on a spa day or a rural retreat by the sea. Articulating your emotions takes priority during this transit, at least before Mercury retrograde commences on 28 June. Before then, choose somewhere secluded under starry skies to make the most of this sentimental transit. Anytime around 9 June bodes well for a creatively fulfilling solo date or cosy movie nights with your SO. The month concludes with a Capricorn full moon and the Summer Solstice, a prime time for exploring new pastures and showing the world your shine.
Aquarius Rising
Adventure is close to your heart this month following May’s potent full moon in globetrotting Sagittarius on 31 May. Staying local? The cosmos insists that you prioritise play and pleasure either way – whether you’re in Lisbon on a city break or on a neighbourhood amble. Mark 9 June in your calendar, when Venus and Jupiter reunite at the same point in the sky. Did someone say wedding bells? Or business buddies? Jupiter’s time in Cancer comes to a grand finale on 28 June, entering Leo and your seventh house of partnerships for the first time since 2014/2015. Look back to this moment in your life for a preview of what’s to come in your partnerships – romantically and platonically. Development, personal growth and commitment are key themes.
Pisces Rising
June kicks off with a roster of fast-paced planetary shifts in your house of domestic pursuits. Instead of resisting the scattered chaos of Gemini season, it can be more helpful to lean into it and ride the wave. Plus, Mercury moves into fellow water sign, Cancer, on 1 June, to keep your feet on steady ground – sort of. This transit amps up your creative juices in more ways than one, giving you the green light to elope to a remote Greek island or do something spontaneous in the name of art. Circle 9 June in your calendar as this is set to be a sweet, sweet moment in the cosmos for your creativity. With Venus and Jupiter reuniting in the sky on this day, you can look forward to high-octane romance wherever you end up in the world.
Aries Rising
When the Sun hangs out in Gemini, your childlike curiosity comes out to play in a way that’s infectious and inspiring to those around you. Your zest for life and innate sense of adventure make a comeback this month, with weekend trips and daycations on the agenda. First things first: Mercury enters Cancer on 1 June – a transit that brings about a wave of nostalgia to your travels, whether you’re visiting familiar ground or embarking on an epic ancestral adventure. Then comes a Venus and Jupiter reunion on 9 June, which is set to be a sweet celestial collab. Globetrotting Jupiter makes bold moves on 28 in Leo, a transit that’s set to send you on a path of creative self-expression.
Taurus Rising
June kicks off in the thick of Gemini season, which, for you, means keeping things local and getting down to business. On 1 June, Mercury makes its way into Cancer and your fun-loving fifth house, where short-haul sojourns reign supreme. Instead of flitting off on a fast-paced adventure, you’re slowing things down and resisting Gemini’s airy influence. One thing you will be leaning into this Gemini season is the sign’s love of travelling in twos: on 9 June, dynamic duos take centre stage when Venus and Jupiter link up in the sky. This delightful conjunction bodes well for doubling up and taking bold, creative risks. On 29 June, the revelatory full moon in Capricorn brings an epiphany your way.

All eyes on you! There’s chaos in the cosmos this month in the best possible way. You’re making the most of your solar return with travel plans and dinner outings in the city. Though it’s your birthday month, you could be refraining a little from splashing the cash – at least in the first week of June. Money’s on your mind with Mercury, your planetary ruler, entering Cancer on 1 June – a transit that gets your budgeting systems in place. That all changes on 9 June, when Venus and Jupiter link up for a harmonious reunion. On the road this month? Sprinkle your itinerary with little luxuries along the way, with stop-offs at galleries, boutiques and anything that takes your fancy. Staying local? Treat yourself to a much-deserved pamper weekend.
Cancer Rising
Time to nourish and nurture your emotional inner landscape. June begins with the Sun in Gemini and your restorative twelfth house – a transit that calls for heightened solitude and you-time. Feeling scattered? Take yourself on a beach break, or for a long, slow walk in a local park to counteract the season’s flurry of Gemini planets. There’s a prime moment around 9 June when your confidence receives a boost of cosmic uplift. Use this time to take life by the horns and put yourself out there as Venus and Jupiter reunite in the sky for a rare double-planet conjunction. Chiron in Taurus caveats this transit a week later – a transit that prompts you to break away from friendships that no longer serve you. Towards the end of the month, Mercury retrograde could cause a few travel snags and tech mishaps. At least you can slow down and enjoy the scenic route.
Leo Rising
Can you feel it? There’s a buzz of energy in the air that’s getting you inspired. The Sun’s shining its bright, bountiful rays in Gemini, landing in your house of community. Whether you end up in a subterranean salsa bar in London or a remote farmhouse retreat, you’re bound to be meeting kindred spirits along the way. The only cosmic caveat would be to refrain from stimulation overload at this time with regular, daily exercise. Extensive physical activity will ward off the scatty, wayward energy often caused by a build-up of Gemini placements. Look to 9 June for a group getaway – this is likely to be a harmonious period for all parties in attendance, with Venus and Jupiter linking up in the sky. The main transit to look out for is Jupiter’s movements in Leo – a shift that brings back your magnetic, main character energy in spades.
Virgo Rising
Hello, high achiever. Someone’s got a spring in their step, especially in matters of work and public recognition. For the first time in a long time, you could be getting the recognition that you finally deserve. Once Mercury slinks into sentimental Cancer on 1 June, your words carry weight and the world is listening with eager ears. This transit can be a bit slow and muddy to begin with, so take your time to enunciate and articulate what’s on your mind – and in your heart. Travel plans could pick up around 9 June, when Venus and Jupiter reunite in the sky for a rare celestial link-up. As it’s Gemini season, your itinerary should include a mix of panel discussions, gallery visits and hot, new restaurant openings – all in the space of a day. Take a breather and some time for solitude on 14 June, when a new moon resets your big-picture goals for the summer ahead. Where to next? Jupiter’s movements in Leo on 29 June shake up your bucket list destinations, with spiritual sojourns taking the lead.
Libra Rising
Gemini season has arrived to bring back your travel mojo. It can feel like the world’s your oyster when the Sun hangs out in your fellow air sign – landing in your globetrotting ninth house. Double up with a Gemini or Leo on 9 June for a double dose of spontaneity, sparked by Venus and Jupiter’s rare reunion. This rare conjunction blesses the whole zodiac with some good juju, landing directly in your career-focused tenth house. The only cosmic caveat to look out for is Chiron’s movements in Taurus on 19 June, which is more a life lesson than a major celestial conundrum. This transit teaches you to shed old habits, so you can come out of it feeling brand new. On 29 June, Jupiter leaves Cancer for Leo, bringing community and group-based adventures to the forefront of your travels for the next year or so.
Scorpio Rising
June’s astrological landscape is ripe for inner healing and treating yourself to a spot of self-care.

Sagittarius Rising
Time to ditch your solo travels for a slice of double duo magic. Though you’re a pro at exploring the world alone – and meeting interesting friends along the way – this month’s astrology puts your relationship zone in the spotlight. For the foreseeable, you could be investing time in a friendship or a romantic liaison that’s about to turn serious with someone who gets your need for freedom and autonomy. Jot down 9 June in your calendar and keep note of this date, when Venus and Jupiter double up in the cosmos for a dazzling planetary conjunction.
