The celestial taskmaster Saturn stations retrograde this June, heralding a period of introspection and reevaluation. This is a time to pause and take stock of the structures, responsibilities, and commitments that shape our lives. Saturn’s retrograde motion asks us to look inward and assess whether our current path aligns with our long-term goals and values. This experience is likely to be most prominently felt by six signs of the zodiac: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
During this retrograde phase, we may feel the weight of our obligations more keenly, prompting us to question whether we’ve taken on too much or perhaps not enough. It’s an opportunity to examine the boundaries we’ve set for ourselves and others, considering if they continue to serve our growth and well-being or if they’ve become too restrictive or permeable. Saturn’s retrograde encourages us to reflect on our approach to challenges and obstacles, inviting us to refine our strategies and develop greater resilience and discipline in pursuit of our ambitions.
This is not a time for hasty decisions or impulsive actions, but rather for careful contemplation and measured adjustments. Saturn’s retrograde reminds us that true progress often requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to learn from our experiences. By embracing this period of reflection and realignment, we can emerge with greater clarity, purpose, and the strength to build a more solid foundation for our future endeavors.
Aries
Attention is turning to your professional life this month, Aries – are you prepared to shoulder more responsibility? It’s a good time to examine your long-term plans and aspirations, but be aware that the full Moon in your 10th house of career may bring fluctuations in your mood and the whims of authority figures around you. Saturn is preparing to station retrograde in your 12th house, indicating that those undermining you are likely to cause their own problems. That should give you the space you need to make progress that’s meaningful to you in various places in life. You’ll be drawn to a lot of internal thoughts this month, as your inner world seems busier than normal, so be sure to allow space for your closest relationships. If your cash has been burning up quickly lately, help appears to be on the horizon.
Taurus
There’s a push and pull between “here” and “there” in your full Moon horoscope, Taurus. The full Moon in your 9th house brings attention to things far away, but near-term obstacles may need to be sorted first. It does seem like there’s a lot in your immediate environment to attend to, and much of it positive, so don’t feel as though you’re missing the train for life’s bigger things. If you’ve been hesitating to learn a language, book a vacation, enroll in a course, or start therapy, now is the time to take a meaningful stride forward. Venus’ benevolent kiss toward Mars in Taurus improves communication and dissolves some hesitation. This full Moon wants to work in your favor, but you need to get moving.
Gemini
The theme of this full Moon is financial for you, Gemini. Question your purchases, even the small ones, as they will inevitably add up. Remember, for everything you say “yes” to, you have to say “no” to something else. A helpful exercise might be to pay attention to where you’re overspending yet underinvesting, where the returns aren’t matching expectations. Saturn stationing in your career house may slow things down, which can be frustrating if you were expecting a promotion. However, with Jupiter in Gemini, you have more luck around you than you realize. Unknown forces may have been frustrating your efforts recently, but the astrology shows you surrounded by allies who can help you make your case.
Cancer
Your first house is busy this month, Cancer, with Mercury, Venus, and the Sun gathering in tight proximity. The full Moon pinging them one by one suggests an interactive week where you’ll be shown other perspectives and the focus will inevitably fall on what someone else brings to the table. Don’t worry, your perspective’s value is not in contention, but this full Moon highlights your 7th house of partnerships, so it’s a good time to let the minds and messages of others shine. The position of Mars in your 11th house might mean that a friend of yours is going through a hard time, perhaps due to job insecurity or another meaningful loss. You’re well-positioned to offer support and empathy.
Leo
Irritation around work or personal relationships may have been present lately, Leo, but good news is coming from many angles. Be gracious as the friction softens, as conflict and tension can always return if sensitivities aren’t respected during the healing stages. Saturn stationing in your 8th house indicates that the next few months are ill-advised for taking out major loans or signing new financing terms. A better time will come later this year. Saturn’s station here may also suggest that the financial realities of your partners, romantic and professional, are in for a change, so keep a watchful eye. There’s a lot of joy with friends and in social company over the next few weeks, so lean into that if you feel ready.
Virgo
For you, Virgo, the full Moon highlights the house of creativity, enjoyment, and leisure. While it can be hard for you to relax and enjoy life’s good things, it’s your turn now. However, international journeys may kick up avoidable frustrations due to Mars’ position in your 9th house. Consider something more local, connecting to community and your own interests. Interested in getting a project off the ground? Venus is beautifully placed in your house of friendships and benefactors, which suggest you’ll have much-appreciated support when the time comes. This symbolism is repeated with Jupiter crowning your 10th house of career, bringing additional luck and favor from those in authority. Next month’s full Moon will make a helpful trine to that Jupiter. So, start thinking about how to take advantage of the coming uplift.
Libra
Full Moons around this time of year often bring competing priorities in your inner and outer worlds, Libra. The full Moon in your 4th house encourages deep retreat, but the activity in your 10th house, which is more public and professional, suggests advancement and good fortune in your career, especially when helping a colleague secure a win. Keep doing what you’re doing, as your ruling planet, Venus, will soon become visible again after traveling close to the Sun. You’re about to emerge with fresh energy, glowing in wonder. However, be cautious about borrowing at this time. Give only if you can accept not being paid back, and hold off on big financial decisions until Mars moves out of your 8th house.
Scorpio
This full Moon highlights a lot of thought activity for you, Scorpio. The Moon in your 3rd house of communication suggests you’ll be receiving messages, gossip, and information. Some of what finds you will be useful, while some of it may stir up trouble if handled carelessly. Be thoughtful and deliberate in what you choose to engage with. The astrology also suggests that your attention has been too focused on the destination rather than the journey, in a metaphorical sense. Appreciate the counsel of those you meet along the way, even if they’re not going where you’re headed. It’s also time to plan your next vacation if you don’t have one on the books, allowing you to appreciate the journey in both literal and metaphorical senses.
Sagittarius
Dear Sagittarius, have you been putting yourself at the disposal of others lately? Now might be the time to reclaim some of that energy and attention. This full Moon focuses on your 2nd house of finances and resources. It will highlight times when you seek nostalgic comforts and emotional satisfaction through material means. You’ve been responsible lately, so enjoy the fruit of your diligence and labors. Saturn stationing retrograde in your 4th house suggests that unresolved family issues and increasing home responsibilities will start to crop up. These might demand your undivided attention. A sense of being burdened, a need to relocate, or a redefining of your living situation may arise. You’re a straight shooter, so play to your strengths and face these head-on.
Capricorn
This month’s full Moon falls in your first house, Capricorn, emphasizing personal needs and subjective experiences. If you’re desiring a fresh start or a new cycle, the ball is in your court—take it and run! Venus’s tour through your 7th house eases expressing affection and compromising with others. With Mercury, Venus, and the Sun in your 7th house, there’s abundant potential for new romance or refreshed connection in existing unions. Get intellectually engaged with closer partnerships, as mental stimulation and exchange of ideas await you. Mars touring your 5th house of fun suggests that dedicated energy in artistic projects will bring rewards. It’s also a great time for competition and sport. This full Moon rewards you for initiating and driving the conversation.
Aquarius
You may be feeling a need for more private time, Aquarius, which could mean more solitude or one-on-one time away from big crowds. Embrace it if you’re feeling that way. The vibrancy will likely return next month when the full Moon falls in your sign. With Saturn turning retrograde in your 2nd house, it’s time to reassess your relationship with the material world. This transit encourages you to build inner resilience and self-reliance rather than depending on external resources. Are you managing your resources responsibly? Are there areas where you need to establish clearer boundaries or be more disciplined? Use this retrograde period to restructure your approach to money and possessions, ensuring they align with your true priorities and support your personal growth.
Pisces
The big focus for you this month, Pisces, is Saturn’s station in your first house. The next few months will be a period of self-reflection for personal growth. This transit encourages you to turn inward and reassess your identity, self-image, and the structures you’ve built in your life. You may face increased responsibilities or challenges that test your resilience and self-discipline. However, this is an opportunity to strengthen your foundation and let go of past patterns or limitations that no longer serve you. This time is a chance for personal restructuring and laying the groundwork for significant accomplishments in the future. Remember, true growth often involves discomfort, but the rewards of self-mastery and inner transformation are immeasurable.
