Ready to play catch-up this summer? June opens with Mercury retrograde, asking you to dial in on projects, finances, and business ventures. So keep collecting data on the neighborhood you want to move to, on your mortgage options, or even on investment strategies. Hold fast on any big decisions until after June 11 when Mercury gets the communication green light.
If you’re feeling the urge to jump into a long-term lease or even buy your own place, hold your horses. In fact, avoid signing anything binding until June 12 or beyond. (Better safe than sorry.) Late June sparkles and shines as Venus visits Jupiter, bringing gregarious gratification, elaborate expansion, and the perfect cosmic weather to host a housewarming party — or make that investment you were researching during Mercury retrograde.
Aren’t you glad you waited?

ARIES
Vacillating Venus enters your house of risk and joins joyous Jupiter near the end of the month. You’ll feel like a million bucks, but don’t let your happy mood carry you overboard.

Don’t be surprised if you find networking opportunities or inspiration for researching that dream house with the midmonth new moon.

TAURUS
Harmonious Venus skips into the area of your home in June and joins idealistic Jupiter near the end of the month. If you’ve been daydreaming about a new DIY project or even a more complex overhaul, the timing is highly favorable now. But keep a level head: these two planets together can be exaggerated. House hunting? Keep up your home search momentum and you could land the house of your dreams this month! Set intentions related to increasing your earned income streams with the new moon on June 16.

GEMINI
Mental Mercury, your ruling planet, has been moving backward since May and forcing you to play catch-up. Take advantage of this time to weigh the pros and cons of moving into that bigger apartment you’ve been eyeing or do a risk assessment related to paying off a mortgage (early, perhaps?). Talk to the appropriate people and do your research. But wait to make your move until midmonth. With the new moon on June 16, you may want to consider how you are perceived in the world to ensure you have a clear representation of yourself before moving forward.

CANCER
Last month, Jupiter was in your house of earned income. If you didn’t take action, now is the time: This month is your last chance to act BIG as Venus graces Jupiter. With both planets in your house of material resources, look for new ways to increase your financial security. (Convert your garage into a rental space?) Or even make your move on buying that cottage in the country! Midmonth, set intentions related to the positive karma you’ve accumulated.

VIRGO
Your ruling planet, meticulous Mercury, has been moving backward in your house of the career path and worldly reputation.

LIBRA
It’s time to pare down, my balanced friend. Dutiful Saturn is in your house of earned income and material resources until August. Take advantage of Saturn’s last jaunt by spending modestly and being responsible with your credit, such as paying down student loans or credit card debt. If you put in the hard work, Libra, Saturn will always thank you later. Channel your energy toward finding a mentor or taking a class during the midmonth new moon.

SAGITTARIUS
Neptune the dreamer is in your area of the home for an extended stay, Sagittarius, idealizing your perfect pad or living situation. Use this to get inspired — visit design showrooms or embark on home and garden tours this summer. But don’t get completely carried away in the fantasy. Create a concrete budget and a plan to be ready to make a move when you come back from dreamland. With the new moon on June 16, look into collaboration or partnership to obtain your goals.

CAPRICORN
Gregarious Venus enters your house of other people’s money and joins grandiose Jupiter near the end of the month, creating opportunity. But you might need to know how to negotiate with or charm those in charge of your opulence! Now is the time to secure the investor, loan, or interest rate you deserve, dear Capricorn.

Call up your real estate agent, mortgage broker, financial adviser — or even a buddy to go halfsies with on a supersweet duplex! Set new moon intentions related to playing the stock market for a quick turnaround midmonth.

Check out the neighborhood or visit local businesses to get a more detailed report on living expenses. You’ll be happy you’ve done the work when Mercury moves forward later this month. Set intentions for what you really want in your next housing situation by midmonth.
