!! OMG Stars: Horoscopes for June 2025 !!
Happy June, everyone.
Every time Pride rolls around these days I love to constantly be reminded that Pride began as a riot. The bricks, the fighting, the chorus line of men taunting the cops, I love this stuff of legends. This year as Jupiter prepares to move into Cancer (on June 10th), I’m thinking about the interpersonal elements of the event, which itself took place during Cancer season, the sign of home and family. I’m thinking of how Stonewall was a riot of homeless youth, queer and trans people, and sex workers facing the possibility of having nowhere else to go: Stonewall was a home, and the first pride was a rebellion to save it.
Cancer is the most vulnerable sign of the zodiac, and wherever we have it in our natal chart is our most vulnerable side of ourselves. For people with Cancer in very public parts of the chart (your sun, rising, or midheaven), it means constantly facing the world with your vulnerability in front. In some ways the opposite of the notion of pride. Pride as a celebration started the year after Stonewall, but the event itself was about anger, justice, and protection. Stonewall occurred with the sun in Cancer, the ascendant in Aries (anger), and the moon in Sagittarius (Justice). This month, Sagittarius’ ruling planet Jupiter moves into Cancer, and our collective desire for justice, growth, knowledge, and opportunity all shift into the lens of this family-oriented sign.
In more recent gay history, I also love the overused meme of a blubbering RuPaul earning her Emmy with the phrase “we as gay people, we get to choose our family.” With Jupiter moving into Cancer, where the giant will stay for a year, I invite this to be a year of considering your relationship to home and family. Jupiter is also about abundance (or of too-much), and about opportunity (or of burnout), and its movement into Cancer will definitely be a relief for Cancerian people.
Jupiter’s move out of Cancer also means a move out of Gemini, where it’s been for the past year, and whose season it currently is. Gemini, you of thoughts, of much to say, of chitchat and research. How has having Jupiter in this sign affected us? I think much will be said of the explosive growth of generative AI (easily the most mercurial and Gemininian recent invention) during the year that the planet of growth was in the sign of communication, but in your personal life, look at what house Gemini rules in your chart and think about how you grew, expanded, and learned in that area of your life.
These horoscopes offer invitations for things to consider with this astrological shift, and spaces for opportunity over this next year. I hope above all hopes that this year can be one of liberation and reconnection. Move your meetings to in-person and connect with your people in real life. It’ll be lucky this year.
Happy Pride,
Amelia
