Maraschino’s June 2026 Horoscope
Words: Maraschino
Welcome to June 2026. Color me optimistic, but aside from a maybe dicey Mercury-Neptune square on the 3rd, the first nearly-two weeks have a dreamy oasis quality to them thanks to the Venus-Jupiter conjunction building up in Cancer and perfecting on June 9th. It’s a great time to hang with loved ones, crack open a book you’ve been meaning to get to all year, spin your favorite records, or make art you’ve been daydreaming about. Rest, enjoy, and indulge in communal joy while you can, because the second half of the month will be a return to the high-octane Maniac Olympics that have defined much of 2026 so far.
Mercury in Cancer will square Saturn in Aries on June 10th, so there could be snags in communication that become emotionally charged. On June 13th, Venus enters vivacious Leo, followed by the New Moon in Gemini on June 14th, welcoming in spritely starts in matters regarding writing, communication, progressive thinking, and the house that Gemini occupies in our personal charts. Venus in Leo will be building up to an opposition with Pluto in Aquarius on the 17th, which can be super sexy or conversely, bring about power struggles, obsessive or jealous behavior, and uncomfortable emotional truths.
On June 19th, Chiron the “Wounded Healer” leaves Aries – the sign of war and conflict– after 7 exhausting years and kicks off a new journey in Venus-ruled Taurus, which can sometimes bring painful lessons but, ultimately, healing in matters involving resources, security, and self-worth, to name a few. Not a bad time to learn how to grow your own vegetables or connect with a community garden, and pun intended - get firmly rooted in what matters most to you.
The Sun enters Cancer on June 21st, bringing a little more sweet, sentimental energy, and marking the Summer Solstice. Indulge in nostalgia, live at the beach, laugh and cry at the same time, cuddle a cute, fluffy animal. On June 28th, the energy will return to ‘26 warp-speed mode as Mars enters Gemini and zips toward a conjunction with erratic and anything-goes Uranus in early July.
On June 29th, the full moon in Capricorn will bring culmination and closure surrounding responsibilities, and long-term goals. Mercury also goes retrograde in Cancer that day, so there is a strong possibility of loose ends that require revisiting or revision later. Jupiter leaves Cancer and shifts into Leo on June 30th, bringing a year-long cycle of expansion and blessings through confident self-expression, creativity, fun, and following your heart. Good luck, angels!

Keep Your Dreams
Hey Aries. Your home life is going to feel a lot more idyllic and dreamy than it has in a minute. Enjoy the wave of bliss, and use the time and wherewithal it affords to plant new seeds for the future. Good fortune and fun will find you around the New Moon, liberating you from some of the ick that’s been weighing you down as of late. Set the past on fire and rise from the ashes, brand new.
Tarot: The Devil
Let Go of the Illusion of Control
Hey Taurus. A journey of profound healing surrounding your identity and place in the world commences this month. Focus less on growing pains, and do your best to express and embody gratitude for every element of your life that makes you feel more grounded, nurtured, supported, and safe. Shaky as the ground may seem, positive shifts and new opportunities arise when you take bold, courageous action to bring your dreams to life.
Tarot: Wheel of Fortune
Ca-ching
Happy birthday, sweet Gem. While you know better than most that there’s always more to learn, you’re currently sitting on a gold mine that can set you up for long-term success, locally and even globally. Turn your wealth of knowledge into cold hard currency. Your offbeat, but uncannily timely, perspective will slough off stagnation of all stripes. Share what you know however you feel called to, and marvel at how far it takes you.
Tarot: The Chariot
Get It
Happy birthday, lovely Cancer. You’re still Jupiter’s favorite for a few more weeks, so seize the day and take steps towards any dreams that need a little extra luck to come to life. Don’t let fear of success or failure slow you down. The days leading up to June 9th (and a few after) will be especially auspicious as Venus and Jupiter smooch in your skies - so lock in, send the email, pitch the idea, shoot your shot. The world is yours, crazy as it is.
Tarot: The World
All the World’s a Stage
Hey Leo. Venus and Jupiter will be in your sign this month, bringing blessings and good fortune your way. Some will be expected, others beyond your wildest dreams. There may be caveats with Pluto oppositions in play, but there’s an opportunity to transmute weaknesses into strengths if you can bypass egoic indulgences and see the bigger picture. Amped as you will be, try to relax, read, and create in the splendor of your home as time permits.
Tarot: The High Priestess
You Already Know
Hey Virgo. Your power is palpable, but you can make an even more impressive show of strength if you’re grounded, rested, and clear-headed. Focus on your internal expansion as much as the external growth that’s underway. Release dusty narratives about your place in the world, and let your lucid mind animate a more inspired reality to explore.
Tarot: The Magician
Make It Happen
Hey Libra. You’ve come a long way, baby, and still have a long way to go. Frazzled? Fried? Fair. Still, give thanks for every effort, plot twist, ending, or windfall that got you here. Feed your mind, body, and soul what they need to prepare you for the road ahead. Heal, meditate, and visualize your next evolution. Take a leap of faith if only to prove to yourself how looked after you truly are.
Tarot: The Fool
No Rearview
Hey Scorpio. Time has been moving at a whiplash pace, and it’s only going to speed up from here. Your career is going to take off in phenomenal ways, and while it will be rewarding, it will also be exhausting. Rest is mandatory, as is touching grass, meditating, and checking in with yourself regularly to make sure you’re still here. Trust your intuition to lead you to the faces and places that align with your vision of success, and be sure to schedule time to actually enjoy the life you’re creating for yourself
Tarot: The Sun
Be Like A Child
Hey Sadge. You’re likely still processing revelations gleaned from your expansive and jubilant Full Moon at the end of May. More psychic intel is on the way, and communing with nature will increase your receptivity to it. Let your dreamworld illuminate new internal and external horizons to explore, and seek creative, meaningful ways to weave them into your reality.
Tarot: Strength
Flex
Hey Capricorn. You’re carrying a lot on your shoulders right now, especially at home and in your relationships. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need, or to receive it when it arrives. You’re more loved than you realize. Believe the receipts. The Full Moon in your sign brings closure to an iteration of self that you’re ready to transcend. If you’re feeling spacey or cagey, make a little more time to rest and dream so you can build the next phase on steady ground.
Tarot: The Star
Hey Aquarius. You’re entering a brand new phase in your life, and while you might not feel totally ready for it, it’s right on time. Good spiritual hygiene is your friend always, but especially now. Ground, meditate, journal, move your body, and find healthy emotional and creative outlets to help you navigate the shifts. The better you feel, the more gracefully you’ll roll with the changes unfolding around you.
Tarot: Justice
All’s Fair
Hey Pisces. Life feels bittersweet. Ripe with potential and steadily decomposing. Summon the courage and discipline to make whatever changes necessary to realize your most cherished dreams. There’s no time wasted when you’re living and embodying your truth. You don’t have to be the same person you were yesterday, but leave behind some gifts for future selves to enjoy.
