June 2025 Astrology Forecast: Shift, Soften, and Strengthen
June marks a month of transition and recalibration, where the benefics (Venus and Jupiter) settle into strength, Mercury bridges insight and emotion, and Mars finally moves on after months of high tension. We’re entering new terrain—softening in some ways, but still feeling the pressure of long-range shifts with Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune forming a tense square from Cancer to Aries.
With planets clustered around early and late degrees, those with placements in the cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) will likely feel this month more intensely. But everyone will notice the vibe shift as Mars leaves fiery Leo for earthy Virgo, and Mercury slows down toward retrograde prep at the month’s end.

Key Astrological Themes for June 2025
1. Mercury Magic: The Messenger Moves FAST
Mercury begins the month in its home sign Gemini, moving fast and full of ideas. The Mercury-Jupiter conjunction (8th) at 29° Gemini is a rare moment of mental expansion, insight, and opportunity. Then Mercury slips into Cancer, softening the pace and inviting emotional integration.
By month’s end, Mercury has zipped into Leo, trines Saturn and Neptune, and opposes Pluto—setting the tone for a deeper retrograde journey beginning in July.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Write down your ideas and insights around the 8th—what downloads are coming through? Later in the month, slow down and notice what emotional truths are ready to be voiced.
2. Venus and Jupiter Step Into Strength
After many months of shaky ground, the benefics get a boost. Venus enters Taurus (6th)—her home turf—and Jupiter enters Cancer (9th) where it's exalted. This is beautiful energy for creativity, comfort, and heartfelt nourishment.
Still, both face tension from Saturn and Neptune, reminding us that ease doesn’t mean escape. On the 24th, the Sun meets Jupiter in Cancer, amplifying both hope and pressure.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Seek beauty that feels rooted and real. Enjoy the sweetness—but also notice where boundaries or emotional maturity are needed.
3. Sagittarius Full Moon (11th): Inspired Expansion
This Full Moon carries the signature of growth, movement, and meaning, especially now that Jupiter is in Cancer. Mercury sextile Venus adds a harmonious note, though the Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune Square is still active in the background.
It’s a powerful lunation for releasing limiting beliefs or outdated plans that no longer reflect your truth.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Reflect on your personal truth. What beliefs are ripe for release? Where are you being called to expand with intention?
4. Mars Leaves Leo for Virgo (17th): Precision Over Performance
Mars has been in just two signs since autumn 2024—opposing Pluto, squaring Uranus, and stirring things up. When it enters Virgo on the 17th, the vibe shifts sharply from dramatic assertion to focused problem-solving.
If Mars in Leo said, “Look at me!” Mars in Virgo says, “Let’s fix this.”
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Channel your energy into tasks that refine, organise, or heal. Make it sacred by setting clear intentions before you begin.
5. Cancer Season and a Nurturing New Moon (25th)
The Sun enters Cancer on the 21st, just after Mercury trines the North Node and just before squaring Saturn and Neptune. This sets a complex tone: a desire to nest and restore, while feeling the weight of responsibility and ambiguity.
But on the 25th, the Cancer New Moon conjunct Jupiter offers a moment of hope, protection, and heart-centred vision.
✨ Everyday Magic Suggestion: Tend to your inner world. Create a nurturing space to dream, restore, and begin again—especially around home, family, and emotional security.
