Take a breath. We are going into one of the most dynamic and emotionally-charged months of the year and if you're starting to feel a little tender, stretched, or reborn in places you didn’t expect, you're not alone.
June isn't just a month of cosmic events it was a soul season. An emotional rollercoaster where clarity and confusion danced, where roots are shaken and then replanted, and where the universe hands us both growing pains and growing wings.
Let’s gather around the metaphorical fire and talk through what this wild month is going to be all about and how we can carry its medicine forward.
Energy Overview:
June is a month of intensity, insight, and initiation. It asked us to:
Speak our truth more boldly (Mercury’s many aspects lit up the sky)
Re-examine old beliefs and build new structures (hello Jupiter-Saturn & Jupiter-Neptune squares)
Reconnect with our emotional truth (Cancer season + New Moon)
And let go of what was never truly ours to carry (Full Moon in Sagittarius)
It isn’t always easy, but it was real. Realignment wont always come wrapped in softness, but June offers us the courage to step out of confusion and into conscious clarity.
Collective Impact:
Collectively, we walk a delicate dance between…
Vision & Discipline: Jupiter square Saturn had us asking are my dreams built to last, or am I rushing the foundations?
Clarity & Confusion: With Mercury squaring both Neptune and Saturn, and the Sun squaring Neptune, we navigate fog and reality checks. We learn to feel our way through, not just think our way out.
Love & Power: Venus square Pluto shows us where control is masquerading as connection. We face what is hidden in our hearts and emerge more empowered.
At the centre of it all? A deep desire to belong. To be seen, heard, held, and to finally come home to ourselves.
Most Affected Signs:
This month will hit tender spots for many but especially for…
Cancer: Emotional rebirth and new beginnings
Gemini & Virgo: Major mental recalibrations
Pisces: A blur of dreamy insight and deep feeling
Sagittarius: Letting go of outdated philosophies
Capricorn & Scorpio: Inner authority and shadow truths rising.
So, let’s do a quick overview of each of the Cosmic Events happening this month coming kind of like a June 2025 Cosmic Forecast. The Theme for this month is centred around Heartfelt Expansion, Truthful Expression & Emotional Renewal

How to Work With What June Is Bringing:
Let’s not just move through June let’s integrate it.
1. Rest + Reflect
You’re asked to do a lot of energetic work. Create a little space for silence. Even 10 minutes of stillness can help integrate the insights. Ask: What am I no longer willing to carry into the next chapter?
2. Ground Your Goals
Once that the mental fog has lifted (mostly), revisit your plans. The Mercury-Jupiter and Mercury-Saturn aspects helped shape your voice use it wisely to commit to what truly matters.
3. Nourish the Heart
Cancer season reminded us that vulnerability is sacred. Soften your edges. Tend to the heart. Reach out to chosen family. Let yourself be comforted.
4. Release with Ritual
With the Full Moon this month, honour it by burning, burying, or bathing away what no longer fits your truth.
June in Summary
June 2025 is a month of expansive shifts, emotional renewal, and truth-telling. We start with harmony (Venus-Jupiter), dive into deep truths mid-month (Pluto squares, Full Moon in Sag), and close with creative breakthroughs (Mercury in Leo, trines to Neptune and Saturn).
Mantra for the Month:“I honour my heart’s truth, trust my soul’s compass, and bloom in every becoming.”
July Teaser:
If June was the deep emotional reset, July is your invitation to rise heart-healed, soul-aligned, and ready to make moves that come from love, not pressure. Expect bold solar energy, forward motion, and a bit more lightness in the sky.
Closing Note:
Your evolution isn’t linear. Some days you’ll feel expansive, and others like you’re circling the same old lesson. Both are sacred. Both are growth.
So, as we step through the doorway into June, hold this mantra close:
“I honour the path that led me here, and I trust the one unfolding ahead.”
You’re doing beautifully. Keep going. Keep glowing. And remember you were never meant to walk this path alone.
