The astrological energies of June, 2025

Written on 05/29/2025

Alright, exhale. Seriously. After the wild ride of fire and air that was the merry month of May, June is like walking barefoot on cool grass after dancing all night. The energy shifts to something softer and way more heart-led.

Mercury and Jupiter both move into Cancer this month, so we’re moving out of the head and into the heart. It’s less “what can I do?” and more “what do I actually want?” Add to that Venus lounging in her Taurus meadow and honestly… the universe is pouring us a herbal tea and asking us to relax.

This month is about nurturing what really matters, clearing out what doesn’t, and building your life around the people and places that feel like home. Whatever that means to you.

MOON MEDITATIONS

Full Moon, 11th June, Sagittarius, 8.44am

Crystal: Sodalite owl

Meditation: Home Truths

Lie down or sit comfortably. Bring attention to your body. Recall a time you said yes and it felt right. Maybe small, maybe huge, but it felt like alignment. Where did that live in your body? Did your shoulders drop? Did your gut feel steady? Now recall a YES that cost you. That hollow, pressured, soul-draining kind of yes. Where did that live? Did your jaw tighten? Did your stomach sink? Did something in you go quiet? Allow your body to teach you the difference. It knows. It always has. Now focus on your question. What do you instinctively feel? Breathe into that knowing.

New Moon, 25th June, Cancer, 11.32am

Crystal: Herkimer diamond necklace

Meditation: Create a sacred space for your manifestations

Choose a safe area of your home and clear it intentionally, decluttering and smudging with purpose. Sit in meditation and visualise the horizon in deep twilight, everything still, everything open. See the silver glow of the new moon begin to rise, wrapping around your safe space like a veil, clearing the static and opening the space to something new. Now bring your attention to your heart. In this sacred stillness, imagine a single seed resting there. A seed of intention. Rest here a little longer. Let the vision settle. Let the roots take hold. When you’re ready, open your eyes, knowing your space is holding what you’re growing.

THE ASTROLOGY OF JUNE

Venus in Taurus – The art of feeling good again

Venus is officially coming home to Taurus, and she is loving it. This is slow, sensual, grounded energy. It’s not about glitz or grandeur. It’s about what actually feels good in your body. Think long walks, your favourite playlist, moisturising with intention, cooking something just because it smells amazing. This is where you start remembering that pleasure isn’t extra. It’s essential.

Under this energy, you might notice your body asking for more rest, more nourishment, more presence. There’s a quiet recalibration happening around self-worth too. Not the kind built on productivity or performance. The kind built on remembering you are enough just as you are.

What this can look like:

Choosing quality over quantity in your relationships, your wardrobe, or your calendar
Reconnecting to your senses through scent, touch, taste and sound
Saying no without overexplaining
Letting your body lead instead of pushing it to keep up
Slowing down your routines so they actually feel like rituals

Ways to work with it:

Curate your mornings like they matter. Light a candle. Play music that makes you feel delicious.
Cook something slowly, with love. No rules. No rush. Let the process be the pleasure.
Upgrade one daily habit to feel more luxurious, even in a tiny way. A body oil you actually love. Fresh sheets.
Say no to anything that feels forced or fast. Let your calendar reflect your values, not your old people-pleasing reflex.
Start a “senses journal”and each day, note one thing that delighted you. Train your nervous system to notice beauty again.
Practice stillness without guilt. Rest isn’t laziness. It’s integration. Venus wants you nourished, not just functioning.

Jupiter in Cancer – Growing where you feel safe

Now for the big shift. Jupiter moves into Cancer on 9 June for the first time in over a decade. Jupiter rules growth, abundance and wisdom. But in Cancer, that growth comes from emotional richness, not external wins. It’s the kind of expansion that doesn’t need a microphone. It just needs a heart that’s ready to soften.

This energy can feel deeply nostalgic. You might find old memories resurfacing or feel the urge to reach out to family or revisit places that shaped you. It’s not just sentimental. It’s an invitation to understand where you’ve come from so you can decide what you want to carry forward.

It’s also a powerful time to build real foundations. Not flashy ones. Safe ones. This could be about your home, your inner world, your chosen family, or your sense of belonging in the world.

How this might show up:

A desire to deepen your emotional connections and feel more held
Revisiting childhood themes or healing family dynamics
Letting go of people pleasing and learning to nurture yourself first
Redefining what “success” means in your current season of life

Ways to work with it:

Start a gratitude jar focused on emotional wins
Make your home feel more like a sanctuary, even if that’s just decluttering one corner
Cook something from your childhood or honour your ancestry through ritual
Let yourself rest without guilt
Journal or speak aloud the kind of support you’re calling in

Mercury in Cancer – Heart over head

On 8 June, Mercury joins the party in Cancer and everything starts to feel a little softer. A little slower. This isn’t about quick wit or clever comebacks. This is communication that starts in the gut. The kind that makes you say “I don’t have the words for it, but I feel it.”

You might find yourself more sensitive to tone, more emotional in conversation, or more aware of what’s not being said. It can feel like you’re tuning into a different frequency. Less logic, more feeling. Less data, more depth.

Mercury in Cancer also amplifies your inner dialogue. The way you speak to yourself matters more under this energy. Be gentle. Be kind.

How this might show up:

Deeper conversations that bring tears, clarity or both
Nostalgic memories coming up out of nowhere
Needing space before you respond, because you’re feeling things more intensely
Realising that emotional safety is just as important as being understood

Ways to work with it:

Journal before big decisions to process what you’re really feeling
Speak your truth, even if it’s quiet or vulnerable
Reconnect with someone from your past if your intuition says yes
Write a letter to your younger self or to someone you miss
Listen more deeply in conversation and respond from the heart

This is a truth-teller of a moon. But not the loud, preachy kind. This Sagittarius full moon is ruled by our now-Cancerian Jupiter, which changes the vibe. It’s less about broadcasting your opinions and more about tuning into your deeper knowing. The kind of truth that sits in your bones, even when it’s inconvenient.

You might feel pulled in two directions. One part of you wants clarity. The other part might want to run. But this moon says: pause. Don’t rush the answer. Your gut already knows.

There’s also a big theme here around internal freedom. Where have you been shrinking to stay comfortable? Where are you ready to expand, even if no one else gets it yet?

How this can feel:

A craving to make a bold decision, but also a fear of what it might disrupt
Frustration with people-pleasing or diluted versions of your truth
A sudden need to unplug from noise and tune in to your own rhythm
Feeling like the “old you” is falling away, and the new one needs space to land

Ways to work with it:

Journal your personal YES/NO list: what feels expansive vs what feels heavy
Take a 24-hour break from social media to reset your perspective
Light a candle or a small fire and speak your truth into the flame
Make a private declaration, even if it’s just to yourself, about what you’re no longer willing to tolerate

This moon is about clearing the clutter between you and your intuition. Your next chapter wants a cleaner page.

Mars in Virgo – Quiet power, clear action

After all the emotional navigation of Cancer season, Mars moving into Virgo brings a welcome dose of clarity. Mars in Virgo is like that friend who shows up with a notebook, a schedule, and a cleaning playlist. It’s not here to hype you up. It’s here to help you get things done.

This energy is precise, focused, and refreshingly practical. It’s the kind of motivation that doesn’t come from excitement, but from alignment. You might suddenly find yourself tackling things you’ve been putting off, organising your space, or wanting to upgrade your health routines in a realistic, sustainable way.

There’s no rush here, just steady, intentional action. Small things matter.

How this can feel:

A desire to simplify your routines and make things more efficient
Feeling frustrated by mess, literal or metaphorical
More sensitive to what’s draining your energy and wanting to clear it
Motivation returning, but only for things that genuinely serve you

Ways to work with it:

Declutter one space that’s been stressing you out
Create a flexible routine that supports your nervous system
Focus on completing tasks instead of starting new ones
Begin a wellness practice you can actually maintain. Think “daily-ish” not “perfect”

Mars in Virgo reminds you that power doesn’t always have to be loud. Sometimes it’s just doing the thing you said you’d do.

A Jupiter-infused Cancer season

Cancer season starts on the luckiest day of the year, when the sun meets Jupiter in Cancer. This is a deeply nourishing, heart-opening kind of astrology. If the first half of the month felt like emotional tidying, this is where the warmth starts pouring back in. Expect big feelings and big reminders of what really matters.

This energy is all about emotional expansion. Letting yourself be held. Trusting that softness doesn’t make you weaker, it makes you real. It’s a chance to call back the parts of you that have been hiding or bracing for impact and say, “You’re safe now. You can exhale.”

How this might show up:

A breakthrough around what makes you feel emotionally fulfilled
Feeling extra sensitive, but also more connected to your intuition
Wanting to prioritise family, home, or self-care in a deeper way
Realising you’ve outgrown performative versions of “having it together”

Ways to work with it:

Host a small, cosy gathering with people who feel like home
Write a letter to your future self from a place of hope, not fear
Start a “Joy File” of things that make you feel whole and safe
Create a vision board based on how you want to feel, not what you want to achieve

This is the heart of June. Big, warm, quiet transformation that begins from the inside out.

New Moon in Cancer – Click HERE to read the new moon astrology forecast

This new moon is one of the most powerful emotional resets of the year. The sun, moon, and Jupiter are all lined up in Cancer. Mars in Virgo is offering structure and support. And even though Saturn is in the mix, it’s actually helping ground the whole thing.

This is the kind of new moon that can heal deep emotional wounds and help you build a softer, safer version of your future. It’s not a flashy rebirth. It’s a sacred one. You might feel tender. You might feel clear. You might finally feel ready to let something go that’s been weighing on your heart for years.

What this can feel like:

A quiet but powerful readiness to start again, emotionally and energetically
Deep reflection on your roots, your family, or the home within yourself
Realising how much you’ve grown simply by surviving and softening
Wanting to create a daily life that’s built around emotional nourishment

Ways to work with it:

Cleanse your space with smoke, sound or water. Whatever feels intuitive
Write three intentions focused on emotional safety and support
Cook something healing and eat it slowly, with gratitude
Place a bowl of water by your bed with herbs or flowers to “catch” your dreams overnight

You don’t need to do anything dramatic. Just plant the seed. Let it grow from a place that actually feels safe.

Mercury into Leo – Bold voice, honest truth

Just when things start feeling sweet and sentimental, Mercury swaggers into Leo and the tone changes. Suddenly your voice wants to be heard. There’s pride. Passion. Maybe a little drama. But before you get too comfortable on your soapbox, Pluto steps in with a reality check.

This opposition is no joke. Hidden truths can surface. Power struggles can flare. But ultimately, it’s about courage. The courage to speak from your soul, not just your ego.

And just after that, Mercury trines Neptune. So whatever comes up could inspire a wave of creative or spiritual clarity too.

How this can feel:

Wanting to say something bold, but feeling the emotional weight of it
Feeling pulled between self-expression and fear of confrontation
Discovering a deeper truth beneath your usual thoughts or opinions
Having a sudden creative idea that feels wild and exciting

Ways to work with it:

Speak your truth, but check your intentions first
Avoid playing small just to keep the peace
Write out what you’re afraid to say before saying it out loud
Capture creative ideas, even if they feel too big to act on right now

This energy is a little spicy. But it’s the kind of fire that clears the way for clarity.

This month isn’t about explosive breakthroughs or public wins. It’s about building the kind of life that feels soft, sturdy and sacred from the inside out. Let June remind you how to rest without guilt. How to honour your inner rhythms. And how to create a life that feels like home in every sense of the word. Have a wonderful month!
