But don’t be surprised if you’re craving carefree parties over political discussions when the disciplinarian planet Saturn goes retrograde in dreamy Pisces and your 10th House of Social Status on Saturday, June 17. Because Saturn rules, well, rules, when it goes retrograde, you’re all about staying out late, making out on the dancefloor, and, if you can, taking an afternoon off work. Summer is here, and it’s time to celebrate. This whole weekend is about adventure and good times, Gemini. A new moon in your sign on Sunday, June 18, brings a welcome fresh cycle to a relationship, whether you and an acquaintance become besties over drinks or a summer fling starts to show long-term potential. Expect the relationship in question to continue to grow stronger throughout caring Cancer season, which begins on Wednesday, June 21. 

When your ruling planet, Mercury, enters Cancer and your 2nd House of Possessions on Monday, June 26, you may feel a little guarded. While our 2nd House of Possessions can refer to money, and some Geminis will have financial discussions around this time, it’s important to know that the 2nd House also rules our emotions, which, whether we like it or not, we are responsible for. While everyone associates Cancer with the home, remember that crabs have hard shells and pinching claws. Don’t clam up too much, Gemini, or else you’ll risk impeding the beautiful growth discussed above in your relationships. 

Finally, when Neptune, a planet often associated with fantasy, goes retrograde in its home sign of Pisces on Friday, June 30, you’ll be pulled into reality and even confronted with tough truths about yourself. Can you show enough maturity to take constructive criticism? Work on that Gemini, and June should be all about deepening relationships, boisterous sweaty nights, and realizing what’s truly important to you. See you in July.
