June horoscope: What your star sign has in store for love, work & life this month according to the tarot cards
JUNE Is going to be the "best month of 2025" for a certain star sign, according to tarot reader Kerry King. Meanwhile, another star sign will ''come out stronger and wiser''. 13 Aries 13 Love & Relationships – Five of Swords Heal, compromise, understand, resolve, repair, rekindle. Do not, Aries, pour any more fuel on any more fires or engage in drama. Enough! The Five of Swords wants peace and love and an ending to feuds and tensions. Be the bigger person (because you are, you're the first sign of the zodiac, the alpha) and make it right. And you'll feel better. Set yourself a career, purpose, education, or project challenge! Something that lasts from now until August at the latest and overcomes a hurdle or climbs a mountain you feel compelled or inspired to tackle. Prove to yourself you can do it. Set the goal, break it down into mini milestones, create a reward, and set off. This will be the making of 2025! Exploring the Dark Side of the Zodiac: Worst Traits of Each Star Sign Omen to look out for – Justice Look for the number 8 or repeats of it. Look for Libra folk who you should, on paper, disagree with, but you find common ground. Look out for a situation where there's been injustice and unfairness, and it sticks in your throat. If you notice one of these omens then you're being urged to step in and help right a wrong. You're a natural warrior and have true force, put it to good use and make a bad situation better. Taurus 13 Love & Relationships – Nine of Swords Tell them the truth, say what's on your mind, reveal the emotions you've been struggling with and trying to hide. There's no point not being honest because it'll all spill over at some point (probably explosively..). The Nine of Swords wants you to talk to your inner circle openly and tell them how you feel. The relief, help, and rom dread and anxiety will be massive. Don't bottle this all up. Work & Purpose – Ten of Wands Take it easy, Taurus, take it steady. This card can warn of burn out so it's likely you're overworking or even overthinking. For the next 3 months, focus on the priorities, get the tasks done, and try to compartmentalise work's worries and stresses from the rest of your life. Don't let it bleed out into other areas. Don't take work home. Tackle the issues in the workplace AT work, and if they can't be resolved then start looking elsewhere, you're not trapped, don't feel stuck if you're unhappy. Omen to look out for – Judgment Look for the number 20 or repeats of the number 2. Look for beautiful mirrors and portraits that catch your eye or show your reflection unexpectedly. Look out for Scorpio folk who tell it like it is and make you see things plainly and clearly. If you notice one of these omens then you're realising your pressures and hardships are teaching you truthful and invaluable lessons about your true nature and desires- use this intel wisely! Gemini 13 Love & Relationships – Ace of Coins You've built the right foundations by getting the right people in your life, and you love your inner circle now (there were some changes in the last year!). Now it's time to build. Create sparks and chemistry with each person individually, and maybe mix'n'match a few of them to create new mini groups. You're a natural host and organiser. Make your social life glam, exciting, and 'the place to be'. Work & Purpose – Queen of Coins Hustler Time, Gem! The Queen of Coins sees you stepping up and taking control of your finances, career, and leadership aspirations. You are ready to take on more responsibility and work harder than ever, and of course also ready to now demand the necessary rewards you expect. Make things happen, pitch and propose, apply and create. Entrepreneurial work is well starred this June, it IS your month after all! Omen to look out for – Two of Wands Look for the number 2 or repeats of it. Look for cross roads, forks in the path, parallel pathways. Look out for situations that require you to prioritise, focus, streamline and separate the wood from the chaff. If you notice one of these omens then you're being urged to let something go so that you can re-prioritise something else that is simply a better opportunity- don't try and do it all. Cancer 13 Love & Relationships – Two of Coins Abundance! Whatever you've been hoping for MORE of in your relationship landscape, expect it to arrive in droves, like 3 buses all at once! And say yes, welcome everyone in- the more the merrier, right? Look out for Earth signs this June- Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus, they could be the dependable ally or lover you're yearning for. Socialise lots. Get out and about. Great folk are entering your life. Work & Purpose – The Sun Blessings and good fortune coming your way at work or in a personal project, possibly a chance to travel or see more of the world somehow too! The Sun is the tarot's most positive card and brings luck, joy, success, and new opportunity. It's a great month to seek a new role if you're unhappy, or to consolidate your place if you love where you're at. Shine brightly, showcase what you got! Omen to look out for – Page of Coins Look out for courses, classes, lectures, workshops, forums, great non-fiction books or podcasts, and lessons- posters locally, online ads, word of mouth from friends, invites at work. Look out for opportunities to take on learning, skills or education about a topic of interest to you or that might be useful in work (now or in the future). If you notice one of these omens then you should sign up and do a course or some other means of education- knowledge IS power. Leo Love & Relationships – Death A period of transformation begins- renewing, refreshing, revamping and repairing all that needs attention in your love life and wider relationship realm. Don't cling onto anything or anyone, change is needed and whomever leaves your life was always meant to. Look out for sexy Scorpios, a great love affair could be in the offing. Work & Purpose – Seven of Coins You've been in a period of transition for a while now and that will really unfold this June. Whatever you've been slowly dismantling, untangling, building or creating behind the scenes will be ready for showcasing and performance this month. So, ramp up the pace and start taking overt, pro-active action that gets you closer to your goal. Change is afoot. Run towards your new path. Omen to look out for – Judgment Look for the number 20, or repeats of the number 2. Look for unusual mirrors, reflective surfaces that show you in a strange light, and pieces of feedback from long ago that land differently with you now. Look out for situations where you need to understand yourself better and clarify what it is you do, enjoy, want, or need. If you notice one of these omens then you're being asked to reflect on your true nature and desires – enlightenment is coming and will illuminate the way ahead. Virgo 13 Love & Relationships – The Emperor Power dynamics are on your mind because you can see that you're not getting a fair shake in a close relationship, somehow you've lost that upper hand or even an 'even hand'. And you're tired of being told, over-ridden, backed into corner, or ignored. So, speak up. Change your behaviour. Step back and let distance help them rethink and recalibrate. Look out for inspiring Aries folk with whom you experience immediate sparks. Work & Purpose – The Hanged Man You've felt stuck recently, in a bit of a limbo situation. And the trick to finding a way out of this is to change your mindset, outlook and perspective on it. Ask for different opinions and feedback, look at it from other points of view. You've gotten trapped in your own head and the answer will not be found there. Something offbeat and radical is needed, go find it, and use it. Omen to look out for – Eight of Cups Look for the number 8, or repeats of it. Look for broken objects or items that are still being used but carry a flaw, dent, scratch or even breakage. Look out for situations that are not panning out as you hoped, that aren't delivering the good and you find yourself making excuses or pretending things are going better than they are. If you notice one of these omens then you're being asked to get real about a situation you should be honestly calling out for what it is, and drawing to a close. Let it go, better opportunities are coming in to replace it. Libra 13 Love & Relationships – Nine of Swords Whatever is bothering you and you've been trying to keep a lid on it… just say it. Tell the truth. Express your true feelings and ask for help, insight, honesty or feedback. You will get what you need, people are there for you. And in being so open, you will invite honesty and care in return. This is how true intimacy is built- sharing vulnerability. Look out for wise, world-weary Air signs who you feel safe around- Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. Work & Purpose – Knight of Wands You're pushing ahead with your plans, ideas, and schemes. You're taking risks, seizing opportunities, being pro-active, and going bigger and bolder with everything that's already working. You are seen as a great example in the workplace right now so push on that goodwill and ask for more! Hook up with creative and passionate Fire sign folk (Leo, Aries, Sagittarius) to create new projects and offers. You're on fire! Omen to look out for – Five of Wands Look for the number 5 or repeats of it. Look for interesting cloud formations or smoke patterns (from incense or candles or bonfires) that reveal shapes or symbols that mean something to you. Look out for opportunities to take the initiative and mend a fractured connection or relationship. If you see any of these signs, then it's the right time to reach out and mend something that you wish could be how it once was. It can! Scorpio 13 Love & Relationships – The Wheel of Fortune All change, all new news! The Wheel of Fortune is the tarot's totem of transformation, and the best bet is to grasp the tail of the swirling energy and make changes of your own that you have a gut feeling about. Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius folk are important to you this June. And you're all about upgrading, repairing, improving, and amplifying the relationships you care about. Someone new could be entering your life too. Work & Purpose – The World The World is the tarot's final card of the major arcana and therefore a symbol of completion, achievement and success (… leading to a new goal or mission, but celebrate the completion of this one first). It also relates to global travel and connections so perhaps you're going from a national to an international scope or territory, or perhaps you should! The world is your oyster this June. Omen to look out for – Six of Wands Look for the number 6 or combinations of it. Look out for golden cups, awards, medals and medallions, symbols and objects associated with victory and winning. If you notice one of these omens then you're being gifted the chance to activate a 6-week lucky, winning streak! Do something chancy and bold to start it off and then keep on playing the boldest hand you can! Fortune favours the bold. Sagittarius 13 Love & Relationships – Queen of Wands You're on fire, full of confidence, and your powers of attraction are beaming outwards drawing in like-minded, positive, adventurous folk (other Fire signs- Leo, Aries, Sagittarius). You are feeling in control of your relationship realm, happy with the folk in it, and ready to make more amazing plans and adventures together. Take the initiative and create invitations for wonderful outings and events this Spring and Summer. Work & Purpose – Seven of Swords There could be someone a bit shady in your career realm, someone who perhaps envies your position or reputation, perhaps wants what you have, or is just a troublemaker. Note their actions, sidestep their traps, and keep your distance. Let them show their hand by giving them plenty of rope (bot don't stand too close). They will reveal themselves. Omen to look out for – Knight of Cups Look out for serene, charming men who treat you with great politeness and chivalry. Look out for a sensation of deep, strong, true attraction to someone you've only just met. Look out for symbols of royalty or status, extreme wealth or honour i.e. medals. If you notice one of these omens then you're being presented with a new lover or future best friend, don't be shy, speak to them and start this beautiful love story. Capricorn 13 Love & Relationships – Queen of Swords Find the space and solitude you need. Don't feel pressured to do everything in company or deliver someone's every whim or need of you. All Caps like their own company and like to pursue solo projects- make sure you can do this. And look out for an older Air sign female (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) who will give you the greatest idea you're going to get all year! Listen to her. Work & Purpose – Ace of Cups Something new is coming your way and you're going to love it! This is a new role, colleague, project or activity / task that absolutely lights you up, plays to your strengths and desires, and provokes a new sense of enthusiasm and optimism about what you do. It's all about doing what you love, right? So lean into that, focus on that, ask for more of that… and you will receive! This will all happen really quickly. Omen to look out for – The Moon Look for the number 18, or repeats of 1 or 8. Look for info or imagery about the moon cycle, opals or pearls, stories about the moon and its magical effect on folk. Look out for people whose emotions or presentation doesn't match the things they're saying or doing, look for facades that are crumbling. If you notice one of these omens then you're being led towards the uncovering of a major secret or illusion in your realm. Dig, probe, ask, validate, check, research. It WILL come to light. Aquarius 13 Love & Relationships – Page of Wands Play time! The Page of Wands unleashes your inner child and lets you run wild and free with friends and acquaintances, visiting new places and doing new things. It's enlivening and fun. Look out for exciting and daring Fire sign folk who are as up for it as you are- Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Look out for children in your home or family who need some fun- perhaps you can join forces too! Work & Purpose – Justice Whatever you've felt has been unfair or unjust in your workplace or community, things will be corrected and put right. The truth will out. Your position or actions will be vindicated. Act with good grace, let bygones be bygones and move on (feeling proud of your stance). Look out for things that you can help make better too, mistakes that can be addressed, mis-steps that can be put right. Trouble shoot! Omen to look out for – Eight of Swords Look out for the number 8 or repeats of it. Look out for distortions, warped imagery or reflections, shattered mirrors or windows. Look out for folk who irritate you intensely and you take a strong dislike to. If you notice one of these omens then you being asked to notice your shadow self (usually a projection of what you dislike in other people). Look within and notice traits you suppress. Bring them into the light, accept them, and stop hiding them. Pisces 13 Love & Relationships – Two of Wands Choose your side. Pick your favourites. Prioritise the people who truly matter. Don't get sidelined or distracted with fake friends, distant acquaintances, or folk who over-promise and under-deliver. Know your true circle and focus your energy there. You might feel temptations around you this June… be very careful what you lean into. If in doubt… don't! Work & Purpose – The Empress A wonderful new era of passion-led work and content is unfolding for you. Follow your interests, do what you're good at, help other people, build a strong, positive network and new alliances. Bring your full personality into your workplace or community and be yourself wholly, let the right opportunities and people be drawn towards YOU.

Dani Dyer and Jarrod Bowen's wedding guests belt out very rude football chant
Reality TV star Dani Dyer tied the know with West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen, with their family and friends unable to resist singing a well-known football chant as the newlyweds enter the reception Dani Dyer's wedding guests sang a hilariously X-rated football chant after she tied the knot with West Ham player Jarrod Bowen. The Love Island star and Jarrod, both 28, got married today in front of their family and friends. But as the couple entered the room for the first time as husband and wife, their guests couldn't help but belt out the widely-known West Ham chant at the reception. Waving white napkins in the air, the party sang: "Bowen's on fire, and he's sh***ing Dani Dyer." Sang to the tune of Freed from Desire by Gala, guests welcomed the newlyweds with the apt tune, which is usually reserved for footy ace Bowen's on-pitch performances. The couple's ceremony took place outdoors at the stunning Langley Hotel in Buckinghamshire. The five-star estate was built as a hunting lodge for the third Duke of Malborough in 1756, and boasts 150 acres of gardens and parklands. It also includes a serpentine lake, outdoor pool and subterranean spa, having been reopened as a luxury hotel in 2019. The £500 a night lodge is close to Pinewood Studios, making it an A-List favourite - Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie and Jeff Goldblum have all stayed there. On Saturday afternoon, it was the setting of Dani and Jarrod's big day, with a huge marquee erected in the grounds and two security guards located at the front of the gated complex. A local said: "The marquee is the biggest I've ever seen. I've never seen anything like it - and we've had Sheikhs get married here. They spent days building it. "It's all been very civilised so far, but we'll see if that continues as the night goes on. They've had Angelina Jolie stay and Tom Cruise landing in his helicopter. Jeff Goldblum also stayed here for months while filming a Jurassic Park film at nearby Pinewood Studios." During the swanky ceremony, Dani's brother Arty, 11, and her son Santiago, four, from her relationship with Sammy Kimmence, were page boys. Meanwhile, Dani and Jarrod's twin two-year-old daughters, Star and Summer, were the couple's flower girls. Dani shared two photos of her and her new husband on their wedding day. The reality star looked incredible in her show-stopping off-the-shoulder Suzanne Neville dress, her hair swept back into a chic bun. She carried a personalised satin bag by designer Aoife Mullane, which had her and Jarrod's initials. Jarrod looked dapper in his three-piece black suit as he kissed his wife. The night before her wedding, Dani admitted she was an "emotional wreck" as she prepared to walk down the aisle with her partner. In a make-up free clip on Instagram, she revealed: "I can't believe that I'm packing my bridesmaid's bags. "I am such an emotional wreck at the moment, I'm going to be a cry-y bride and I really don't want to be, but I feel like I'm going to be." She added: "But I've packed all their essentials, I've got slippers and flip flops for the evening, some cute little earrings, mirrors. I feel like I've been really good with the organisation side of things of what they would need, so we are on the ball with it."
