Your Horoscope This Week: 29th June To 5th July
Cosmic beings, we're closing out June and welcoming July with a moon in Virgo, giving us just the right amount of discernment, organization, and quiet introspection to set the tone for the month ahead. With the sun in nurturing Cancer and the moon in detail-oriented Virgo, there's a collective desire to keep it clean — emotionally, mentally, digitally, and physically. Whether it's editing your camera roll, purging unnecessary obligations, or just finally changing your sheets, this earth–water combo is all about practical care and conscious tending. What seeds did you plant during the Cancer New Moon a few weeks ago? This week, you may feel called to water them, slowly and deliberately. By 2nd July, the moon enters Libra and forms its first quarter square to the sun, creating a cosmic checkpoint between our intentions and our actions. Libra's all about beauty, balance, and diplomacy, so this quarter moon might spotlight imbalances in our relationships, work–life dynamics, or even our inner peace. The tension here isn't a punishment, it's a prompt. Are you giving too much? Holding back out of fear of rejection? Or people-pleasing your way through discomfort? This moon wants you to choose yourself without discarding connection. Easier said than done, but necessary. On 4th July, things get interesting. Venus enters Gemini, and suddenly, love speaks in memes, voice notes, and 'omg I forgot to text back but I still love you' energy. Venus in Gemini brings a flirtier, more curious energy to romance, money, and aesthetics. You may feel more inspired to experiment with your style, send a risky DM, or finally get that haircut you've been romanticising on Pinterest. But keep in mind, this vibe isn't necessarily about settling down — it's about exploring your desires through conversation, stimulation, and a touch of chaos. But wait, there's more. A few hours later on 4th July, Neptune stations retrograde in Aries, kicking off a five-month collective soul-searching mission. Neptune in Aries is already a vibe shift, having just entered Aries in 2025 for the first time in over 160 years. But now, with the retrograde, we're being asked to go inward — to reflect, to reimagine, and to ask: Am I walking my talk? Am I creating the life I dream about, or just posting about it? With this retrograde beginning on the United States' birthday, don't be surprised if some collective identity questions also bubble up globally. Revolution starts in the mirror. All of this is happening while Uranus is in its final days at 29° Taurus, the last stretch of a seven-year journey. That 'final boss' degree means the energy is heightened, edgy, and unpredictable. As Uranus prepares to shift into Gemini next week, you may feel a sense of restlessness, like something big is around the corner — because it is. For now, focus on hydration, boundaries, and keeping your phone on 'do not disturb' at least once a day. The cosmos is stirring, but you're remaining grounded. Aries Sun & Rising: Aries, this is the week where you return to yourself… but not the self you were before. The First Quarter Moon in Libra activates your relationship sector and brings up the tender question: 'Do you still want what you once asked for?' Whether it's that situationship you thought would lead somewhere or a contract you signed months ago when your needs were different, you're realising that honouring your current self may mean renegotiating, reorienting, or walking away. Expect an urge to declutter your emotional and physical space. You might suddenly mute people on social, clear unread DMs, or finally say the thing you've been rehearsing in your head for weeks. Remember, the goal isn't perfection, it's clarity. Venus enters Gemini on 4th July, activating your communication sector, so expect your words (and texts) to start carrying more weight. Suddenly, you're flirting without trying, pitching ideas that stick, and making people laugh in a way that opens doors. But just a few hours later, Neptune retrograde begins in your sign, asking you to pause and reflect on whether your current image or identity is sustainable or just smoke and mirrors. You're entering a five-month season of radical self-honesty. Think: less autopilot, more soul-searching. Take your time. The pressure to 'have it all figured out' is melting away. You're not behind, you're just aligning. Taurus Sun & Rising: Taurus, this is the week you realise just how much you've grown. The First Quarter Moon in Libra activates your wellness and routine sector, giving you that cosmic push to finally follow through on your goals: not because you 'should,' but because you finally feel ready. Your inner perfectionist might flare up early in the week, whispering that you're not doing enough. But the truth is, you're doing plenty. This is the time to focus on sustainable habits: drinking water, putting your phone down before bed, actually resting. It's okay to be in a slow build era. You don't have to 'transform' overnight to prove you've evolved. Venus, your planetary ruler, enters Gemini on 4th July, officially ending its luxurious home tour in your sign. As Venus shifts into your sector of income and self-worth, you might start craving new streams of revenue, new ways of expressing your value, and new clothes to match the glow-up (budget permitting). But with Neptune in Aries beginning its retrograde in your sector of spirituality and dreams, you're also learning that not every opportunity that looks good on paper is meant for you. Watch for mirages. Some deals might sparkle now but fade with time. Your intuition will be your compass, so trust it, even when logic lags behind. Gemini, this week is the mirror moment where you look at your reflection and see your power more clearly. The Libra Quarter Moon lights up your creativity sector, encouraging you to share something you've been sitting on. Maybe it's a post, a pitch, or a part of yourself you've kept hidden because of fear or timing. Now the timing is ripe. Don't wait until it's perfect — share it because it's real. You're rediscovering joy in the process, not just the outcome. Allow yourself to flirt with life again, even if you're still figuring out the next chapter. Then on 4th July, Venus enters your sign for the next four weeks, and you become the cosmic favourite of the zodiac. Everyone suddenly wants your energy, your ideas, your time — but don't let the attention distract you from what you're really building. Neptune in Aries beginning its retrograde in your social network sector later that day might make you reflect on who's actually rooting for you, and who's just there for the aesthetic. Some illusions may be shattered, but it's for the best. You're not the same version of yourself from six months ago, so why pretend like you are? As you start July, honour both your power and your softness. Cancer Sun & Rising: Cancer, this week nudges you to look inward, and you're down for it. The Virgo Moon early in the week helps you clean up your mental clutter, and by 2nd July, the Libra Quarter Moon in your home and emotional security sector brings up important themes about what (and who) makes you feel safe. You could suddenly feel the urge to rearrange your space, cleanse your home with intention, or draw firmer boundaries with people who drain you. It's not drama, it's discernment. Trust yourself. You're evolving, and your environment needs to evolve with you. Then on 4th July, Venus enters Gemini and activates your subconscious and dream sector. Pay attention to what your body and spirit are whispering in the quiet moments — your deepest desires are trying to get your attention. A few hours after Venus shifts, Neptune in Aries begins its retrograde in your career sector, asking: are you chasing someone else's dream or carving your own path? The next five months will ask you to get super honest about your ambitions and how much of your current identity is shaped by external expectations. The spotlight's yours now, but what will you do with it? Leo Sun & Rising: Leo, this is the week where you remind yourself that healing doesn't mean hustling. The First Quarter Moon in Libra lands in your communication sector, so it's the perfect time to reset your throat chakra. That includes your inner dialogue. If your self-talk is stingier than your bank account, it's time to rewrite the narrative. Take time to acknowledge what insecurities you feel about speaking your truth, and lovingly begin the process of transmuting them, perhaps through mindful affirmations. Venus enters Gemini on the 4th, stimulating a desire to make new friends. Neptune also stations retrograde in Aries that same day, beginning a five-month journey of philosophical unlearning. You're being asked to reconsider belief systems you've outgrown, especially around success, spirituality, and even romantic love. The veil is thinning, but it's not scary — it's clarifying. This is a gentle wake-up call to lead with softness, not illusion. No need to rush. You're blooming behind the scenes. Virgo, you start this week with the moon in your sign, and baby, the clarity is loud. After a whirlwind June, this lunar vibe helps you tune back into your body, your needs, and your purpose. And when the Libra Quarter Moon lights up your income and self-worth sector on 2nd July, you're likely to have a breakthrough about your relationship to money and value. Have you been underselling yourself? Overgiving? Accepting crumbs? This moon says: no more. You deserve to thrive, not just survive. Treat yourself like the main character, even if it means saying 'no' more than usual. Venus enters Gemini and activates your career sector on 4th July, kicking off a social, sparkly glow-up in your public life. You might land a gig, get recognised for something you didn't think people noticed, or find more joy in your current role than you expected. Meanwhile, the start of Neptune in Aries' retrograde in your intimacy and psychological depth zone stirs up questions around who you trust with your secrets — and your soul. You're not paranoid, you're perceptive. Let yourself question what vulnerability really looks like for you now. And most of all, allow yourself to be seen by the people who've earned access to the real you. Libra Sun & Rising: Libra, this week is your quarterly glow-up checkpoint. The moon reaches its first quarter phase in your sign on 2nd July, so don't be surprised if old insecurities or self-image thoughts resurface. But this isn't about spiraling, it's about surfacing. You're learning how to witness your inner critic without letting it run the show. Think: growth, not perfection. You might feel the urge to switch up your look, refresh your IG aesthetic, or do something bold just for you. Do it. The universe is giving you a confidence boost, but it's your job to receive it. Then, on 4th July, Venus (your ruling planet!) enters Gemini for the next four weeks and activates your travel, learning, and expansion zone. Expect your curiosity to spike and your craving for novelty to return full force. Planning a trip? Signing up for a workshop? Chatting with someone from another culture or worldview? You're not just learning, you're evolving. But with Neptune retrograde in Aries also beginning in your relationships sector, you're being asked to stop romanticising red flags. Or at least, pause long enough to notice them. This retrograde will help you decide which connections feel nourishing versus depleting. Fall in love with peace before people. Scorpio Sun & Rising: Scorpio, this week asks you to let go in order to grow… even if it's bittersweet. The Libra Quarter Moon illuminates your sector of endings, closure, and intuition, so don't be shocked if a ghost of the past makes an appearance — in your dreams, texts, or thoughts. But this isn't about going back. It's about understanding the lesson. Let your inner mystic guide you this week. Reflect, retreat, or even block and bless as needed. You're shedding to reveal something more aligned. Remember: rest is not avoidance and stillness is not stagnation. Then on 4th July, Venus shifts into Gemini and activates your intimacy, soul-bond, and shared resources sector. You're craving deeper conversations, more transparency, and real emotional connection — no fluff, no fakery. But Neptune begins its retrograde in your wellness and routines sector that same day and reminds you that clarity doesn't always come fast. You may be called to review the mind-body-soul connection and how you've been either numbing out or neglecting your needs. The truth? Your rituals are sacred and your slowness is strength. Let that be your mantra. Then comes the cosmic pivot: Venus enters Gemini on the 4th, highlighting your relationship sector and adding sparkle and flirtiness to all things love and connection. You're magnetic, but Neptune beginning its retrograde in Aries in your creativity and inner child sector, asks: are you being adored for your truth, or just the fantasy of you? It's a tender week, full of mirrors. Express yourself clearly. Prioritise mutual joy. Reconnect with what makes your heart beat faster — not just who. Capricorn Sun & Rising: Capricorn, you're craving deeper conversations this week — no surface-level small talk. The Libra Quarter Moon lights up your career sector, asking: does your professional life reflect your true values? You may feel pressure to make a big decision or be put in a visible role that forces you to evaluate your long-term direction. There's power in pausing to review before responding. You don't always have to be 'on.' As Venus enters Gemini on the 4th, your wellness zone gets a glow-up. Daily rituals, movement, and acts of service feel more delightful and less dutiful. That same day, Neptune begins its retrograde in Aries in your home and family sector, uncovering hidden feelings about your past, lineage, or current living situation. Expect some emotional fog to lift over the next five months, revealing what still needs soothing. Ground yourself through nourishing habits. This is a week of slow clarity, subtle shifts, and unexpected sweetness. Aquarius, your worldview is your mirror right now… what is it reflecting? On 2nd July, the Quarter Moon in Libra illuminates your expansion and wisdom sector, making this a week where something you read, hear, or witness could shift your entire perspective. Travel plans, publishing projects, or spiritual pursuits could reach a turning point. If something's felt stagnant or out of alignment, now's your cosmic nudge to course- correct. Venus entering Gemini on 4th July sparks more romance, fun, and curiosity in your love life. Your dating energy gets a major upgrade, and you're more magnetic when you're being playful. But Neptune retrograde begins in Aries that same day, touching your communication sector. Be mindful of misinterpretations — especially via text or social media. It's time to reflect on how your words create your world. Express your truth, but don't rush the message. Pause, feel, then share. Pisces, near the start of the week the Quarter Moon in Libra is moving through your intimacy and transformation sector, inviting you to face your emotional depth with a little more courage. This lunar transit might bring up themes around trust, vulnerability, and power dynamics in relationships or finances. There's beauty in the unraveling… even if it's messy. This isn't about fixing it all; it's about acknowledging what needs healing. On 4th July, Venus enters Gemini and activates your home and family sector, helping you beautify your space, reconnect with loved ones, or find a new sense of safety within yourself. But here's the kicker: that same day, Neptune, your ruling planet, begins its retrograde in Aries — the first retrograde in Aries of your lifetime — happening in your financial and values sector. Expect deep introspection about what you give your energy to, and what you're truly worth. You're being asked to untangle illusions around scarcity and learn how to hold your power. Softness is strength, and your evolution is unfolding.

Even if it feels like people have been distant lately, don't take it personally… check in, not check out.

Daily Horoscope for June 25, 2025
General Daily Insight for June 25, 2025 A little work and a little play can take you exceptionally far. The Moon is in Cancer, encouraging us all to feel our way forward. We may need to consider our actions a bit more carefully when the Moon squares stoic Saturn in Aries, though we'll still want to enjoy ourselves when it conjoins lucky Jupiter. The Moon and Sun will also line up for a special Cancer New Moon at 6:32 am EDT, setting us up for a day when anything seems possible. Aries March 21 – April 19 Focus on your foundations. It's a good day to get in touch with your roots, thanks to the New Moon in your 4th House of Inner Needs. Whether you're hanging out with your roommate or your relatives, surround yourself with those who want the best for you. These people can boost your spirits at the most difficult of times by reminding you that you're not alone in this difficult thing called life. The ground beneath your feet will feel more solid than ever. Taurus April 20 – May 20 Something interesting is bubbling up. A spectacular New Moon in your quick-thinking 3rd house is encouraging you to use your mind to the best of your ability. Focus on your ideas, regardless of their current state. You can come up with new ones or improve the ones already on your plate. This lunation is here to help you manifest them! It also highlights partnerships, so don't be shy about doubling up to achieve your ambitions. Be vocal about what you want. Gemini May 21 – June 20 The seeds you plant right now can bear impressive fruit. Your thoughts are turning toward your financial security as your 2nd House of Salary plays host to a glorious New Moon. There is no time like the present to pursue your goals! If you've been on the lookout for a new source of revenue, or perhaps looking for a fun way to spend a recent influx of cash, this lunation can bring you plenty of both. Do the work, and success should follow. Cancer June 21 – July 22 2025 started months ago, but you get your own New Year today. A grand New Moon in your sign is opening up a fresh window of opportunity and possibility, ushering in a world of wonderful change. Consider the projects or desires that matter most to you, and once you've got clarity there, start moving toward them without letting anyone else hold you back. This is your time, Cancer, so don't let naysayers tell you otherwise. You know exactly what you need! Leo July 23 – August 22 Live and let go, Leo. There is a refreshing New Moon in your 12th House of Endings, which may seem like a rather odd place to host an alignment all about beginnings. However, the opportunity here is to begin eliminating things from your life which no longer serve you, be they negative behaviors, mental patterns, or overreliance on certain substances. Start clearing out your life, and by the time the corresponding Full Moon arrives in six months, you should feel worlds better. Virgo August 23 – September 22 Expand your social network. There has rarely been a better time to meet people as your 11th House shines with a lovely New Moon, putting a premium on building connections and working together. This sector highlights altruistic and humanitarian efforts, so it might be the right moment to donate your time, money, or other resources to a cause close to your heart. The more people you get involved, the more impact you will be able to have where it matters most. Libra September 23 – October 22 Something unfamiliar is starting. You have been on a certain path for a very long time, following a pre-paved road to a specific destination, but a New Moon in your destined 10th house is showing you a way forward that you might not have considered before. That doesn't mean your previous work does not matter, nor that your goals are outdated or expired — simply that it couldn't hurt to explore this additional option. What you discover could change your life forever. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 You don't need to be in school in order to learn. Life is a continual process of growth and acquiring knowledge, and that theme is underlined as a beautiful New Moon arrives in your 9th House of Research. If you have gotten a bit too comfortable in your surroundings or feel like you're in a bit of a mental rut, then this energy can help you open yourself to updated ways of being. That, in turn, can drastically improve the quality of your life. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 This is no time for superfluous matters. You can focus on the intense side of life under this New Moon in your 8th House of Shared Resources — that sector that asks a lot of you, but has a lot to offer in return. This can be terrific if you're looking for a loan, credit extension, or hoping to acquire some other form of capital. If you play your cards right, you could wind up with a nice chunk of change to show for it. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 One is the loneliest number, but two can change the whole playing field. Even the most self-reliant and competent of Capricorns should open themselves up to fresh connections as today's New Moon in your partnership sector brings different yet important people your way. A contractual agreement of some kind may also present itself at this time. You'll probably want to sign on the dotted line — once you've read the fine print, that is. You can accomplish a lot when there are two of you. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Take things one step at a time. Today's New Moon is setting off a surge of productive energy in your 6th House of Daily Work. It empowers you to tackle any outstanding issues in your life, but also to implement modern programs and behaviors that can make your future flow much more smoothly. A co-worker or other supportive figure could step forward to offer a helping hand with a task or project. They may prove more helpful than you would expect! Pisces February 19 – March 20 Don't let your talents go to waste, Pisces. Even if you don't tend to think of yourself as very artistic or expressive, the New Moon in your 5th House of Creativity is reminding you that you don't need to be Da Vinci in order to let your Muse out to play. You can find immense satisfaction in the very act of creation right now, so don't worry about the end results! Instead, focus on the process, because that's where you will build your happiness.

Your Horoscope This Week: 22nd To 28th June
We've made it to the last full week of June, and with it comes the first full week of Cancer Season: a time of emotional reset, intuitive deepening, and sacred softness. The previous week may have felt turbulent due to Jupiter squaring both Saturn and Neptune, and the aftershocks are still rippling through our psyches. But this week, things quiet down just enough for us to reflect, repair, and reset. Cancer energy invites us to come home to ourselves, to slow our pace, listen more intently, and tend to what really matters. We're now entering the dark-of-the-moon phase, as we approach the Cancer New Moon on 25th June. These days leading up to the New Moon may feel heavy or emotionally intense, not because something is wrong, but because our shadows are surfacing, asking to be seen. Especially in the United States which is a Cancer Sun nation (born 4th July), this lunar phase activates collective emotional memory and national reckoning. Whether it's unhealed ancestral wounds, environmental trauma, or systemic injustice, the Cancer New Moon doesn't let us look away, but it does remind us we can choose to care more deeply, and act more intentionally. Cancer's wisdom is this: you can heal what you're willing to feel. So as the New Moon arrives, give yourself permission to rest, to cry, to dream. Tune out the distractions and tune into your inner knowing. What are you craving emotionally? What would help you feel more safe, more seen, more whole? The 10 days following the New Moon are ideal for setting intentions: not just for yourself, but for the world. Whether it's through prayer, protest, meditation, or boundaries, this lunation asks us to practice mutual care with each other and the Earth. With Uranus in the final degrees of Taurus, the Earth is speaking to us loud and clear: give back to what has always given to you. Then, on 26th June, Mercury, the planet of communication, enters fiery Leo, sparking bolder conversations and unapologetic expression. This energy, coming right after the tender Cancer New Moon, gives us the courage to say what needs to be said, whether it's to a loved one, to an audience, or to ourselves. Mercury in Leo is dramatic, yes, but it's also brave. Just be mindful not to speak over others in the process. All zodiac signs will feel more passionate, more ready to stand for something: just remember to stay open to listening, too. The medicine of this week is gentle truth-telling. Tell the truth with tenderness, and let it liberate you. Aries, this week asks you to slow down and tend to your inner world. The Cancer Sun is lighting up your home, roots, and emotional foundation, and with the New Moon in this sector on 25th June, it's time to consider what 'home' really means to you. Have you been craving a deeper sense of safety or belonging? Maybe it's time to clear your physical space, set firmer emotional boundaries, or even imagine new chapters of where and how you want to live. The days before the New Moon may stir up old family dynamics or unresolved emotional patterns. Rather than pushing through, pause and nurture what's asking to be healed. This is a beautiful week to write intentions for what kind of family, chosen or biological, you want to build and sustain in the next six months. Once Mercury enters Leo on the 26th, your creativity and passion come roaring back online. This transit activates your sector of fun, romance, and fertility, so don't be surprised if you feel more flirtatious, inspired, or ready to share your talents with the world. Mercury in Leo brings bold ideas and outspoken joy, especially after such an introspective New Moon. You may find yourself making declarations of love, launching a creative project, or simply reminding yourself that life is meant to be enjoyed. Just make sure you're not seeking external validation too heavily — the real gold comes when your joy radiates from within. This week, balancing your inner peace with expressive passion is your magic key. Taurus Sun & Rising: Taurus, the Cancer Sun is activating your sector of communication, curiosity, and learning, and the Cancer New Moon on 25th June is here to help you refine your inner and outer voice. The days leading up to the New Moon may feel foggy or introverted — that's the dark-of-the-moon phase working its shadow magic. Use this time to reflect on what kinds of conversations you're no longer interested in having, and which messages or ideas you want to give more energy to moving forward. After the New Moon strikes, you'll feel clearer and more intentional. This is a great week to begin journaling again, pitch an idea you've been sitting on, or reconnect with your writing practice in a more soulful and structured way. Once Mercury enters Leo on the 26th, your attention shifts to home and emotional security. This part of your chart rules your relationship with comfort, family, and ancestry, and Mercury here may bring both powerful realisations and important conversations with loved ones. You might feel called to express what you need to feel safe, whether it's physical space, emotional honesty, or simply a reset in your routine. Leo energy adds fire and flair to your inner life, so don't be surprised if you're suddenly inspired to redecorate your home or initiate a vulnerable but healing family dialogue. Just be mindful not to bulldoze others with your perspective… the loudest voice isn't always the most grounded. Speak from the heart, not from the ego. Gemini Sun & Rising: Gemini, the Cancer Sun is activating your sector of income, values, and self-worth, making this the perfect time to recenter your relationship with money and stability. The Cancer New Moon on the 25th helps you gently but powerfully rewrite your money story. Before the new moon strikes, the dark-of-the-moon phase could bring up insecurities about how you've been managing your finances or your sense of value in relationships and career. Use this time to pause, reflect, and reset. Post-new moon, you'll feel energised to cultivate sustainable habits, whether it's finally setting that budget, asking for the rate you deserve, or launching a product or offer aligned with your gifts. Slow and steady wins this financial race. Once Mercury enters Leo on the 26th, your sector of communication lights up with flair and boldness. You may find yourself speaking your mind with greater conviction — and charm. Whether you're promoting a new idea, defending a cause, or simply flirting your way through summer, your words will have magnetism. Just make sure your need to be understood doesn't overshadow your ability to listen. Mercury in Leo wants the mic, but true confidence is quiet. Share your truth, and be just as curious about others' truths too. Cancer, this is your week to come home to yourself. The Sun is now in your sign, and the Cancer New Moon on 25th June is your cosmic rebirth moment. In the days leading up to it, the shadows of self-doubt or emotional overwhelm might surface, especially if you've been overextending yourself. But this is just the cocoon phase before your next butterfly moment. New moons are cosmic reset buttons, and this one is urging you to prioritise rest, nourishment, and radical self-love. Cancel that call. Book the massage. Cry if you need to. You're shedding skins and remembering your power. The second half of 2025 will mirror how intentionally you treat yourself now. Once Mercury enters Leo on the 26th, your attention may shift toward money and security. You might suddenly feel more motivated to monetise your ideas, share your talents more boldly, or raise your rates. Mercury in Leo in your sector of income wants you to think big and shine bright. You don't have to play it small to stay safe. Just be sure your spending matches your intentions, because it's easy to impulse splurge under this influence. Let confidence, not comparison, guide your financial choices. Leo Sun & Rising: Leo, the Cancer Sun is now in your spirituality and healing sector, and the Cancer New Moon on the 25th is encouraging you to slow all the way down and tend to your inner world. This is your annual 'soul bath', a time to take inventory of what you've been suppressing or avoiding emotionally. The days leading up to the new moon may feel raw, dreamy, and a little nostalgic. Let it all flow. You don't need to solve everything; you just need to feel it. Once the new moon hits, give yourself permission to start a new emotional cycle, one where peace, softness, and divine trust take the lead. Prioritise alone time and listen to the whispers of your spirit. Then, it's showtime: Mercury enters your sign on the 26th (for an extended stay due to Mercury's upcoming retrograde), and your voice becomes even more magnetic. This is your cue to speak your truth, like fellow Leo Doechii, who recently took the mic at the BET Awards to call out oppression and uplift collective liberation. You may feel inspired to do the same in your way, whether it's through art, conversation, or activism. Your throat chakra is wide open now, so don't hold back. Just make sure your fire is guided by purpose, not ego. When Leo speaks with heart, the world listens. Virgo Sun & Rising: Virgo, Cancer Season soothes your community and future vision sector, and the New Moon in Cancer on 25th June invites you to reimagine what kind of support system and collaborative spaces you want to build. In the days leading up to the new moon, you may feel more introverted or emotionally reflective, even if you're usually the one checking in on others. Let yourself retreat and pour into your own cup. Once the new moon strikes, it's time to set intentions around community care, social activism, digital presence, and long-term goals. Who are you becoming, and who do you want beside you as you evolve? Choose your collaborators with intention. When Mercury enters Leo on the 26th, your spiritual and subconscious realm lights up until September. This is a transit that can bring clarity through journaling, dreams, and solitude. You may feel more comfortable being vulnerable and expressing what's usually hidden — like grief, fear, or longing. Mercury in Leo says it's safe to let your healing be seen, and even celebrated. You're allowed to ask for help and still be strong. This is a powerful week to begin therapy, confide in a trusted friend, or start a reflective creative project. Honor your progress, and trust that your vulnerability is your brilliance. Illustrated by Wenjing Yang. Libra Sun & Rising: Libra, the Sun's presence in Cancer activates your career and public reputation zone, and the Cancer New Moon on 25th June is your annual invitation to reset your relationship with ambition. Before the new moon, you may feel emotional or uncertain about your path — and that's okay. You're releasing past definitions of success that no longer resonate. The new moon encourages you to clarify what success feels like to you now, not what the world told you to want. This is a potent week to start fresh with a new work project, launch a brand, or simply affirm your worth without needing external validation. You've already earned your seat at the table. Then on the 26th, Mercury enters Leo, lighting up your friendship and community zone. Your inbox might light up, invitations may roll in, and your voice will carry extra influence in your group chats and social platforms. This is a great time to pitch ideas, host events, or share a message with the collective. Just be mindful not to overtalk or overshare, as Mercury in Leo can get dramatic. Lead with sincerity, and others will naturally gravitate toward your vibe. You're becoming a louder (and prouder) version of your future self. Scorpio Sun & Rising: Scorpio, Cancer Season is now activating your expansion, travel, and higher learning sector, and the Cancer New Moon on 25th June is a beautiful portal for planting new seeds when it comes to your education, travel or publishing goals, or spiritual growth. The days before the new moon might feel heavy or filled with questions about the state of the world — and your place in it. Trust that those feelings are preparing you to shed outdated philosophies and limiting beliefs. This is a wonderful week to plan a future trip, take a leap with a big idea, or apply to something that's been calling your name. Let faith and curiosity lead. When Mercury enters Leo on 26th June, it activates your career and legacy sector, giving you the green light to speak up and be seen. If you've been hesitant about putting yourself out there, whether online or IRL, this is your cosmic push to take the stage. You're done dimming your shine. Mercury in Leo helps you craft your message with flair; just make sure it's rooted in authenticity. You don't have to perform to be respected. Show up as you are, and you'll attract the opportunities that match your truth. Sagittarius Sun & Rising: Sagittarius, Cancer Season is here to help you deepen intimacy and heal emotionally. The New Moon in Cancer on 25th June activates your soulmate, merging, and transformation sector, making this one of the most potent times of the year to release fear, face emotional truths, and open yourself to deeper love. In the days leading up to the new moon, you might feel extra sensitive… let it all flow. It's your soul shedding armour that's no longer needed. Set intentions around the type of intimacy, sexual healing, and soul-merging partnerships you want to attract or cultivate these next six months. And don't forget: merging with someone else doesn't mean losing yourself. When Mercury enters your fellow Fire sign of Leo on 26th June, it lights up your expansion and travel zone. This is your sign to speak more boldly about your beliefs, write the book, teach the course, or book the flight. You'll feel like telling your story with more fire — and people will listen. Mercury in Leo boosts your confidence, but just make sure you're also listening. The best kind of leadership now is reciprocal and heart-centred. Share what lights you up and be open to perspectives that challenge and inspire your evolution. Capricorn, Cancer Season shines a light on your partnership and relationship zone, and the Cancer New Moon on 25th June offers you a sweet reset in how you connect with others. Before the new moon, you may feel uncertain or nostalgic about past dynamics… this is natural. Use this introspective time to examine what you're truly craving in your connections. Once the new moon hits, you'll feel ready to plant new seeds, whether it's reigniting intimacy in your current relationship or calling in a new one rooted in safety and emotional availability. Let your vulnerability lead the way. Then, on 26th June, Mercury enters Leo, activating your intimacy and transformation sector. Conversations around sex, trust, shared finances, and emotional truths may surface — and that's a good thing. Mercury in Leo wants you to be honest about your needs, even the ones you've felt were 'too much' in the past. This is also a powerful time for diving into a new creative project that feels spiritually aligned or sensually charged. What matters most now is that you're not settling: you're owning your power and letting others rise to meet it. Aquarius Sun & Rising: Aquarius, welcome to your annual wellness and routine reboot. The Cancer New Moon on 25th June highlights your health, work, and lifestyle sector, encouraging you to make sustainable changes that bring more flow and gentleness into your day-to-day life. Before the new moon, you may notice where you've been overextending or running on empty. This is your cue to rest. Post-new moon, take small but intentional steps: revamp your sleep habits, drink more water, reorganise your workspace, or say no to draining obligations. It's the little shifts that change your life the most now. When Mercury enters Leo on 26th June, your partnership sector lights up. This is a great week to speak your truth in relationships, both romantic and platonic, and be clear about your expectations and desires. Mercury in Leo can bring bold declarations of love or new levels of clarity in your connections. It's not about drama, though. It's about taking up space with your voice and inviting others to meet you in your fullness. You're ready to co-create something powerful… just be willing to listen as much as you speak. Pisces Sun & Rising: Pisces, the main energy of this week is the Cancer New Moon on 25th June, which opens a dreamy, nurturing portal in your creativity, joy, and true love zone. The days leading up to the new moon may feel emotional or creatively blocked, but that's just a sign that your soul is prepping for a soft reset. Use this lunation to set intentions around pleasure, romance, play, and creative expression. Let yourself feel giddy about life again. Whether you want to start a new relationship, a new art piece, or a new baby (literally or metaphorically), the cosmos say: it's time. Then on 26th June, Mercury, the planet of communication, enters Leo, activating your wellness and work sector. You'll start to feel more focused on optimising your daily rituals and communicating your needs more effectively. This is a great time to advocate for yourself at work, rework your schedule to reflect your natural energy cycles, or get more vocal about the support you need. Just be mindful not to take on too much at once… Mercury in Leo can make you feel invincible, but pacing yourself will serve you better in the long run. Your power this week is in doing less, but with more intention.
