Budding romances are ready to blossom as the astrology of June 2024 ushers in the abundant vibes of the summer solstice and very special alignments involving love planet Venus. Summer love awaits! Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or involved in a few spring flings, your June love horoscope is here to turn up the heat, just in time for the sunshine of a new season.
Gemini season has everyone in social butterfly mode through June 20, so flirt your way through the first few weeks of the month and use your quick wit to woo someone special. Amorous planet Venus is in Gemini for most of that time too, and on June 4 it’s aligning with the sparkling sun to form a special aspect known as a Venus cazimi or Venus Star Point. A gorgeous new moon rises two days later, making this the perfect time to manifest romance, beauty, and more authentic connections in your love life. Be serious about your intentions though, because both the new moon and Venus will clash with down-to-business Saturn, propelling you to decide on what (or who) you’d like to commit to.
Sexy planet Mars spends the first chunk of the month in its red-hot home sign of Aries, but it’ll zoom into sensual Taurus on June 9, emphasizing your physical senses and revving up your carnal desires. Take charge of your pleasure, but don’t get carried away in power games. There’s a fine line between desire and obsession. On June 17, sweet Venus enters tender-hearted Cancer arm-in-arm with communication planet Mercury, aligning everyone’s hearts with their heads. Remember that rose-colored glasses may be altering your vision. Things aren’t always as they seem.
The summer solstice hits on June 20 alongside Cancer season, officially kicking off hot girl summer while simultaneously putting everyone in their feelings. Even the baddies’ hearts are especially soft and sensitive for the rest of the month, so proceed accordingly. A powerful full moon in Capricorn rises the very next day, putting you in touch with what you truly value and reminding you that everything good requires some effort, including relationships. The month wraps up with lover Venus and lusty Mars vibing with one another on June 29, making it a fun time to connect with a new cutie or have some fun with a current fling.
Here’s your love horoscope for June 2024.
