Aries Horoscope for June 2023

Transformation of your life direction is in the air for you, Aries, in a good way, ever since your recent birthday, aided and abetted by last month’s potent New Moon. Your values, both hidden below the level of consciousness and more overt, are a huge part of this, and are the subject of your deepest thoughts and meditations. Important partners in your life may well provide guidance to help you more fully understand the way your own moral compass underlies your evolving future plans; your agreements there are of an elevated significance for you in this consequential month of forward motion. Resources, including financial ones, are at your service in this quest of yours that takes you, however, far beyond material gains. One thing is certain, this is a month of change. The answers you seek are far-reaching so that carrying on as you have been in the recent past is not really an option. Your dreams and intuitional stirrings are vital for you now, and might just be the perfect set of clues to flesh out where you are heading, and where your Higher Self and Spirit itself are asking you to go.

The recent late Taurus New Moon that took place last mid-month in your sector of values, finances, and resources has signaled that the time may have come to put the pedal to the metal regarding change that you have long been contemplating. If so, the perfect time to take action on some part of this metamorphosis might be in the current month. A new developmental period awaits, regarding the material layer of reality and your principles and values that inform it. As June begins we might note as well that Mercury is out of its retrograde shadow, having traversed the Taurus sign all the way back to the 15-degree mark where it began its retrograde journey in late April. Your mind is clear and hopefully refreshed and thus ready for new decisions concerning your future. You may now have more clarity about your values and a strategy for your finances moving forward.

The June 3rd Sagittarius Full Moon takes place in your higher mind, travel, and philosophy sector, and suggests your expansive pursuits may be assets themselves. This lunation illuminates the value of fiery inspiration to get you moving forward. You may want to notice what skills, concepts, or connections excite you because you can likely leverage these creatively in your financial sector. Across your cerebral axis, this Full Moon may also reveal a pattern of perception regarding deeply rooted beliefs about money that you may want to release. The Full Moon is also toned by the Mercury-Uranus conjunction in Taurus, which may offer original solutions to practical problems. With Jupiter growing things in your financial house for the next year, pay attention to any flashes of entrepreneurial insight or unexpected opportunities; the unconventional may prove lucrative. You might also consider the security of your assets before this date, particularly regarding online transactions.


On June 5th, Venus enters Leo, joining your ruling planet Mars there, in your sector of self-expression, joy, and children, and in opposition to transformative Pluto. With both of the cosmic lovers now in Leo, this makes it a particularly potent time to express your unique gifts and explore your desires, with a reminder that forging a unique path in life is an inherently creative act. The opposition with Pluto suggests relationship transformation, conceivably a passionate or volatile romance, perhaps a new or changing connection with any children you may have, or an artistic reawakening that is connected to transformations in your social environment or dreams for the future. You may also meet powerful benefactors or mentors that can help you manifest creative goals.

June 11th sees retrograde Pluto crossing the threshold back into Capricorn, your vocation and public reputation sector; announcing the path to the future might require a detour through the past. You could consider what you need to release or complete, including past projects, skills you need to develop, or an attachment to beliefs about success or prestige that no longer serve you. There could be a degree of instability surrounding career and leadership positions reflected in the slow culmination of Pluto's cycle here. Although in flux, your expertise and experience remain valuable resources to meet the demands of a stage yet to come. The power of accepting the changes in your vocational reality is further supported by Mercury's trine to Pluto as well as Venus's square to Jupiter across your financial and creative houses, suggesting you possess commitment, resources, and good fortune right now to manifest a new vision. You may also want to be conscious of excess and overspending around this time.

The Gemini New Moon on June 17th shifts the focus to your communication and local environment sector. This lunation opens a new cycle of learning or creative communication endeavors, networking, and getting to the details of emerging goals. Consider harnessing Mercury's mental agility and connection to all things mercantile by talking about your business plans or skills you are cultivating—you may find allies or receive insight within your familiar environment. Lean into the sextile between Mercury and Venus in Leo and enjoy a day of lively conversation and fun with a romantic interest, friend, or children. The New Moon is toned by action in your subconscious sphere, with Saturn's station retrograde and the Sun and Moon making a square aspect to Neptune in Pisces. Their combined influence may evoke feelings of anxiety or disillusionment, perhaps arising from a sense that your current reality is so far from your ambitions for the future. This transit asks you to prioritize your mental and emotional health and channel Neptune's visionary qualities to supplement your rational intelligence with the intuitive.

The Sun moves into Cancer at the solstice on June 21st, shining its light on the roots of your chart. For the next month, themes concerning the home, real estate, family, and how you nourish yourself could become prominent.

A fixed sign square between your ruling planet Mars and Uranus occurs on June 24th to the 26th across your creativity and resources sectors, in the context of the Moon’s first quarter. This may possibly raise issues around creative or financial autonomy. Be aware as well that this transit can be unpredictable and could trigger explosive anger or accidents. If you can avoid impulsive reactivity, today may yield significant artistic or financial breakthroughs. The Libra First Quarter Moon in your relationships sector suggests this tension could also be related to a clash of values with your romantic or business partners.

Neptune joins the procession of current retrograde planets on the final day of the month, calling your attention back to more subtle dimensions of your psyche. Be it artistic, spiritual, or psychological, the emphasis in your Pisces domain reflects your soul's need for the numinous along with the necessity and creative potential of solitude.

On June 30th, Mercury conjoins the Sun in Cancer, possibly revealing information or inspiration to do with home and roots. This transit may facilitate communication by helping you express the wisdom of your heart into words. Supportive aspects from Saturn and Jupiter in the days surrounding this conjunction suggest that resources may have become available for you to create a sanctuary space in your home, invest in real estate, prioritize spiritual or artistic growth, or that it may be time to monetize a skill you have been working on being the scenes. The end of this month has a redemptive quality that may leave you more inspired, connected, and engaged with the subtle dimensions of your process moving forward, and, indeed, yourself.
