Libra Horoscope for June 2023

This is another month of transformational impact, Libra, when you are entering into another stage of your ongoing developmental evolution. over these past five weeks you have been asking yourself questions, perhaps confined to the deeper layers of your psyche, about relationship and intimacy, and you are now taking a new step forward based on the internal revelations of the past few weeks. Partnership agreements are part of this as well. Relationship is a changing landscape for you right now, and includes new takes on old situations where something must be let go, and other patterns augmented. With the Sagittarius Full Moon of June 3rd, corresponding to your sector of curiosity and learning, you may find yourself articulating more of what your deep principles and true values are all about, which, in these fractious times, might also connect to environmental concerns or ideas about social activism. You have lately been exploring your connection to Nature and to elements of natural law, and the New Moon of the 17th might bring all this more directly home for you, as you mature in the metamorphosis of your worldview and bring in further dimensions of your goals for a more vibrant future.

The effects of the recent May 19th Taurus New Moon in your personal transformation and intimacy sector reverberate into the first half of June as you explore the energetic and material give and take of life. Your creativity, sense of identity, and community involvement are all in a state of flux this month, following the huge Pluto emphasis of this recent lunation. Mercury finally escaping its retrograde shadow as June begins also indicates you have more clarity about what you want to give and receive in your deeply merged relationships. While change may have been thrust on you, June also has a sense of freedom through endings as you continue to navigate the ways you are bound to others and yet also to your own developmental process and your psychological depths.

On June 1st, Jupiter joins the Lunar North Node in Taurus bringing a redemptive sense of faith in life and its inherent generosity. As you navigate a period of profound personal and relational transformation, you may feel that you don't have to shoulder everything alone and can embrace the support and gifts of those around you.

The June 3rd Sagittarius Full Moon in your communication and local environment sector indicates your world is expanding again. This lunation highlights the meaning you find in the familiar and the joy you take in the unfamiliar and that both are spaces of learning for you right now. You may also recognize how your local environment and the people you share it with impact your well-being. Shifts within your eighth sector have likely freed up emotional, energetic, or material resources, possibly quite suddenly, after a long period of feeling stuck. This sudden shift is indicated by Mercury's conjunction with Uranus in Taurus, which suggests your perspective is also changing and that you want to voice this within relationships. This lunation welcomes expansive conversations about exciting new dreams, travel plans, and friendships you now have the resources to invest in.

Your ruling planet, Venus, enters Leo on June 5th, joining Mars there, corresponding to your sector of friends, community, and higher aspirations. Put on a fabulous outfit; this is likely a fun and flirtatious time when you feel seen and appreciated by your social circle. The cosmic lovers infuse confidence into your connections with others and a sense of inspired synergy that supports collaborations and leadership opportunities. Venus' concurrent opposition with Pluto located in your sector of self-expression and joy suggests you are in the process of significant metamorphosis, which includes changing how you want to be seen and express yourself in the world. This transit highlights your creative potency, which may be fueled by your inner explorations, and is now manifesting as a physical, aesthetic, or artistic transformation.

On June 11th, Pluto returns to Capricorn, your sector of your home, family, and your psychological roots. This ingress may prompt a reexamination of past patterns and structural conditions within your family and ancestry. While it may be painful, deep foundational shifts are possible. You may also be experiencing major domestic changes regarding cohabitation, home renovations, or a move. Mercury enters Gemini the same morning, and in its trine to Pluto encourages you to express your needs and assert boundaries regarding things you will no longer tolerate, even if it temporarily disrupts the peace.

Also on the 10th and the 11th, the square between Venus in Leo and Jupiter in Taurus reiterates the power of articulation. You possess the creative energy to build a life you want to live – sharing your ideas will likely attract allies or benefactors who want to join forces.

The June 17th New Moon in your sphere of outer world exploration opens a new cycle of learning and curiosity, with perhaps a sense of rebirth after a period of uncertainty or feeling stuck. A same-degree sextile between Mercury in Gemini and Venus in Leo supports connecting with kindred spirits and collaborators through new learning, travel, or spiritual pursuits. The New Moon is modulated by action in your sector of health, service, and daily schedule, with Saturn's station retrograde and the Sun and Moon making a square aspect to Neptune in Pisces. Both transits reflect a need to clarify what and in whom you want to invest your energy and call on you to prioritize habits that support health. This may also prompt conversations regarding responsibilities, care, and boundaries with those in your daily life.

The Sun moves into Cancer on June 21st, shining its light on your vocational sector. Your hard work and adjustments in your daily routine may now yield growth or a sense of excitement about your professional goals. You might also feel a sense of belonging amongst your colleagues or, in the absence of this, note that camaraderie and connection are a priority in the future.

On June 26th, the First Quarter Moon in your sign therefore falls in your identity, vitality, and independence sector, suggesting that a process will enhance your sense of agency and be palpable. The fixed sign square between Mars and Uranus in this quarter Moon continues the conversation between your community sector and that of deeply merged relationships. This combination carries a powerful energy that can spark intense physical connections or trigger instinctual responses related to trust, autonomy, or past intimacy wounds. This lunation has a quality of liberation through severing outdated patterns of relating to others or release from painful ties to the past.

Mercury's conjunction with the Sun in Cancer on June 30th brings revelation and excitement to your public image and professional aspirations. It's an opportune time to share ambitious ideas or potentially receive recognition and rewards for your expertise. Neptune's retrograde station this same day prompts caution around idealistic workload expectations and the need for continued clarification around shared responsibilities. However, supportive aspects between the Sun and Mercury to Saturn and Jupiter in the days surrounding the conjunction indicate you have resources at your disposal, allies who want to invest in your vision, and the work ethic to get there.
