These months (May - July) are major – we have outer planets changing zodiac signs, including Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus. This does not happen often, so when it does, it causes major shifts with all of the zodiac signs in different ways. The first change comes on 9 June as Jupiter enters Cancer – which the planet is exalted in – for a year. This is a happy combination that brings a lot of humanity to the surface. On 7 July, the planet Uranus ingresses Gemini for the first time in 84 years. This is the start of the technological revolution, which encompasses both the good and the bad, depending on how we all deal with the planetary shift.
Notable Astrological Dates

21 June – Summer solstice, 3.42
25 June – New moon in Cancer, 4 degrees
Gemini
There is a real focus on the financial aspect of your life this month as your ruler Mercury travels in your 2nd solar house. This is magnified on 10 July by the entrance of the planet Jupiter, which will be transiting in your 2nd house for the next 12 months. This is going to be a period of huge developments in terms of how you value yourself in relation to your work, but also how you manifest positions and opportunities that increase your confidence.
Cancer
On 10 June you have the planet Jupiter transiting into your own zodiac sign for the next 12 months. Many changes will occur during this time period, including elements of new educational and training avenues, as well as expansion in how you deal with others and the opportunities that come your way. However, Jupiter is also making a square aspect to Saturn, so this month you may feel a little restricted or restless in what you can do.
Leo
Up until 17 June the planet Mars is travelling in your own zodiac sign, increasing your energy levels and your confidence to get things done. The subtle forces of Neptune, now travelling in your 9th house, are also at play. You are about to enter a 14-year journey of exploration which will take you far and wide in terms of the more metaphysical aspects of life.
Virgo
There could be a chaotic feeling to the beginning of this month as the planets keep you busy in the career sector of your chart. However, it is important that you don’t get carried away with idealistic visions that have no tangibility. In essence, this month is about staying grounded and secure within yourself and your own abilities. You should find that you are more able to be adaptable to situations that normally might overwhelm you, which should be celebrated and absorbed in a positive way.
Libra
For the majority of the month your ruler Venus is transiting through your 8th house, putting a certain emphasis on how you invest in other people – this could be your partner or those that you work with. There is a need for you to take a deep dive into your inner being for an internal transformation to occur. The question is whether you are able to trust your own instincts and reactions to those close to you. Pay attention to your own motivations.
Scorpio
There is always a time to proceed and a time to reflect. The balance for you is knowing when to do what during this month. First of all, you have Mercury in your 10th house until 17 June, which means work matters will need your decisive attention. Then, Mercury goes retrograde straight afterwards, which will mean that you need to step back and be objective (and not impulsive) in decisions regarding work.
Sagittarius
The big news is that your ruler Jupiter switches zodiac signs on 10 June and begins its journey through your 8th house, ruling other people’s resources. That means the art of sharing and communicating your deepest needs is going to be a feature over the next year. The Archers are open people who enjoy connecting with others. However, Jupiter is encouraging you to be much more honest with yourself and your own fears so that others can help you move forwards.
Capricorn
Your planetary ruler Saturn starts its journey through Aries and into your 4th house for the next two and half years. This will see a period of stabilisation within the home environment, and duty and responsibility that creates structure but also slow delays. However, this can be a period in which you are fully grounded and committed to the home and family, with a sense of a new maturity in your responses.
Aquarius
The transit of Saturn, now in your solar 3rd house, contributes to much more structure in your ideas and general communication. This process could initially take some time to develop, since Aquarians can shoot from the hip. But there is now a need for you to achieve a lot regarding how you want to be seen by others, which is in a more serious and responsible way. This may surprise the people that are close to you.
Pisces
The first week of the month sees the last dance of Jupiter’s travels in your 4th house. There should have been major expansion in the home placement or family matters over the past 12 months. Jupiter is about to travel in your 5th house, which is a more freedom-orientated combination. This should make you feel less restless to move or like you want a change in where you live: it’s time to settle down.
Aries
On 17 April your ruler Mars enters your solar 5th house, the placement of joy and leisure. You will find that you are able to express yourself directly and with more purpose. On 10 April Jupiter enters your 4th house for the first time in 12 years. For the next 12 months, expect expansion in home life and family matters.
Taurus
On 6 June your ruler Venus enters your own zodiac sign, helping you to focus on what is important in your life and how to achieve your ambitions. From 10 June Jupiter travels in your 3rd house, creating a need to keep busy with various projects that enable you to feel that you are progressing in life. This is a major month for you, and you should feel ahead in the game of life.
