June 2025 Astrology Forecast: Key Planetary Shifts and Their Impact
May 30, 2025 | Philip Young, PhD
Astrology is a tool of time and space. As the Solar System runs through its cycles, astrologers follow the patterns the same way a meteorologist follows the weather. Each month points in the sky form important relationships, which we call aspects, that indicate emerging, changing, and enduring patterns. This article will look at the June 2025 Astrology Forecast and discuss the most prominent aspects, and how they impact us. These astrological “weather” events can help you navigate each month successfully.
What is Ongoing? Ingresses, Transits, and Retrogrades
Transits
Transits occur when two Points form a certain type of angular relationship with one another. The most powerful among the transits are the conjunction, square, and opposition. Points that conjunct merge together by sharing the same sign and degree. Points that square align by the degree in signs that are 90 degrees (or four signs) apart. Take the sequence Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn – Libra and Capricorn are four signs apart and square one another. Points oppose one another when they are 180 degrees apart.
Conjunct Points merge energy. In sextile, points compliment each other. Points squaring challenge one another. Points trining collaborate. And Points opposing one another try to harmonize and attain balance.

Ingress
Ingress occurs when a Point changes signs, causing the Point to change its tone. If a Point is in Aries, the tone is active, aggressive, and ready for action. But when the Point ingresses into Taurus, the tone becomes slow, steady, and settling.
Retrograde
The term retrograde describes forward motion that “appears” as backward motion. Astrology views the Solar System from an earth-centric rather than sun-centric point of reference. As a result, there are times of the year when points in the sky “look” like they are going backwards. Retrograde motion occurs when a faster-moving body passes a slower-moving body. Therefore, the observer on the faster-moving body watches the slower-moving body “go backwards” as they pass each other.
The Sun changes signs on June 20th. As the Sun transitions from Gemini to Cancer, we shift from Gemini’s light, curious energy to Cancer’s nurturing, emotional depth. Gemini encouraged exploration, conversation, and mental stimulation—sparking connections and new ideas. Now, with the Sun in Cancer, the focus turns inward toward emotional security, home, and heartfelt bonds. This transition invites reflection, care, and deeper intimacy. It’s a time to honor your feelings, nourish close relationships, and create safe, supportive spaces. Let Cancer’s protective spirit help you anchor the insights gained during Gemini’s season into meaningful personal growth.
Mercury
Mercury starts out June in Gemini and goes into Cancer on June 8th. As Mercury moves from Gemini into Cancer, communication shifts from quick, witty exchange to thoughtful, emotionally attuned expression. In Gemini, Mercury thrives on variety, curiosity, and mental agility—sharing ideas freely and absorbing new information. But in Cancer, words carry deeper feeling and memory. This transition invites us to listen with empathy, speak from the heart, and reflect before responding. It’s a time for nurturing conversations, intuitive insights, and protecting what matters through meaningful connection.
Next, Mercury will ingress from Cancer into Leo on June 26th. As Mercury moves from Cancer into Leo, communication shifts from emotionally reflective to bold, expressive, and creative. In Cancer, Mercury encourages heartfelt dialogue, protective listening, and sensitivity in speech. Then in Leo, the tone becomes confident, passionate, and dramatic—ideas are shared with flair and a desire to inspire. This transition invites us to speak from the heart with courage, tell our stories proudly, and lead conversations with warmth.
Venus
Venus goes into Taurus on June 6th. As Venus moves from Aries into Taurus, the focus in love, beauty, and values shifts from bold initiation to grounded appreciation. In Aries, Venus sparks passionate pursuits and spontaneous attractions—fast, fiery, and full of excitement. As it enters Taurus, the energy softens into a desire for stability, sensual pleasure, and lasting connection. This transition invites deeper intimacy, slower rhythms, and a renewed appreciation for comfort, loyalty, and physical presence in relationships.
Mars
Mars enters Virgo on June 17th. As Mars moves from Leo into Virgo, our drive shifts from expressive boldness to precise action. In Leo, Mars fuels confidence, creativity, and a desire to lead with flair. Entering Virgo, the energy becomes more focused, methodical, and service-oriented. This transition invites attention to detail, efficiency, and purposeful effort. It’s a time to channel motivation into refining systems, solving problems, and taking practical steps toward improvement. The energy is less about grand gestures and more about thoughtful, meaningful progress through dedicated work.
Jupiter
On June 10th, Jupiter goes into Cancer. As Jupiter moves from Gemini to Cancer, expansive energy shifts from intellectual exploration to emotional nurturing. In Gemini, growth comes through learning, communication, and curiosity. When Jupiter enters Cancer, it encourages personal and collective growth through emotional connection, security, and care. This is a time to seek meaning in home, family, and inner life. Generosity becomes more protective, wisdom more intuitive. The focus turns inward, fostering belonging and emotional richness as sources of abundance and fulfillment.
June 2025 Astrology Forecast: Retrogrades
Pluto
In June, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius signals a deep review of collective systems, power structures, and personal detachment. This retrograde invites reflection on how we relate to societal change, technology, and our role within communities. It’s a powerful time to question outdated ideologies and reclaim inner authority. Rather than pushing forward, the work lies in examining where control, rebellion, or alienation block true transformation. Inner shifts now lay the groundwork for future, more sustainable evolution.
Current Positions
Saturn
Saturn entered Aries on May 24th. It will be there until September 1st, when it will retrograde back into Pisces. It will spend the last of its time in Pisces from September 1st until February 13th 2026. After February 13th it will permanently be in Aries until it touches Taurus on April 12th 2028. Saturn moving between Pisces and Aries signals a tug-of-war between surrender and assertion. In Pisces, it urges spiritual discipline and emotional boundaries. In Aries, it demands bold structure and self-leadership. This back-and-forth offers a chance to balance inner vision with outer action and grounded beginnings.
