Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
June 2020 Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
There is much going on under the hood for you this month, dear Cancer. It's not a time to push ahead for all, and this may be particularly the case for you, although the last week of June is certainly a motivating period.
This is an important time of the year for renewal, healing, rest, and reflection. You'll find that you're often thinking about the past, assessing individual projects (and on occasion for some of you, relationships) for their viability, and dealing with culminations. You could find you're playing a waiting game often enough this month, but for the most part, you do it in style! Activities that repair and heal your spirit and help you renew your energy stores are particularly appropriate and beneficial. You're not in the best position to move your projects forward, but it's a great time for getting your bearings. Keeping things low-profile seems appropriate.
Still, Mars is moving in harmony with your sign until the 27th, and you'll find it natural to assert yourself. Energy and confidence run higher than they usually do in the weeks before your birthday. You believe in your dreams! Certainly, Mercury spends all of the month in your sign, and some of it retrograde (from the 18th forward). Small problems are likely to crop up, but with Mars in your corner, you mostly feel on top of things.
Until the 25th, Venus remains retrograde, and it's tucked away in your solar chart, out of sight. More information may surface about a private or past issue that will help you make better plans and future decisions. From the 3rd forward, you may be a little clearer about which actions to take based on recent revelations. Still, it's best to process and digest things rather than finalize. Slowly but surely, life feels a little more straightforward in love and with pleasure and comfort from the 25th forward.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 5th is a signal that eclipses are beginning to transition out of your sign axis. It's likely to pull up some discontent and dissatisfaction, but it's also good for motivating you to make improvements. Work, health, and routines or habits come into strong focus now. There can be a bit of a scramble to get your life into better working order, and the benefits of doing so are significant. You'll be doing a lot of balancing of work/rest and emotional health and physical health in the next couple of years, and realizations occurring now can spur this process along. The first week of June tends to bring dysfunctional areas of your life to your strong attention. Desires can come on with great force, and while you should certainly listen to them, take your time with their pursuit, as emotions are heightened and it can be difficult to be objective.
Tensions can arise if you have too much on your plate or feel the need to rush things. Philosophical debates can all too quickly escalate into arguments or run into personal territory with the Sun in conflict with Mars and then Neptune from the 5-11, so watch for wasting energy on them. These transits work behind the scenes in your solar chart, obscuring the real source of your discontent. If you're becoming restless with your routine, it's best to make changes to it rather than avoid it. You're looking for experiences that add more meaning to your life and that nourish your spirit. Entertain new feelings and desires, but take your time when it comes to pursuing them.
While it's a go-slow month in many respects, there are some real opportunities to enjoy yourself. You might feel you're growing through your contact with someone special, and sharing a perspective philosophy can bring a relationship to a higher level of understanding.
The Sun enters your sign on the 20th, and then a Solar Eclipse occurs in Cancer the next day. This potent New Moon is one of the final nudges in a set of eclipses that prompt a new direction with a better understanding of your relationship needs and sense of independence. Reshaping your image if it needs tweaks can also be in focus. This is the final Solar Eclipse in your sign for many years, so make it count! It's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. Still, ease yourself into this dynamic phase of your life.
Keep in mind that situations can appear more complicated than they are with Neptune's retrograde station happening around the eclipse, but you'll get used to things sooner than later. Mars moves to the top of your solar chart on the 27th, and you might be tapping into strong ambitions or a new sense of direction. You may have been focusing on making your life more enjoyable and interesting, but you're gradually shifting your attention towards taking care of business, performing, and handling your responsibilities. You can feel highly motivated to go forward on a professional or lofty project or goal.
You're likely to enjoy a sense of purpose in the last days of June. You have more stamina and patience than usual to see something through, or to work on an endeavor that doesn't have immediate rewards and results but that will produce for you over the long term. It's a good time to quit a bad habit, or to take steps towards that end, and for a boost in your reputation or credibility.

June 2020 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until June 20th:
The Sun continues to shine its light on your solar twelfth house. This is the time to listen to your intuition, to take a break from the hectic pace of your life, and to reflect on what you have learned in the past year. You might naturally retreat a little and take more private time for yourself now.
Your physical energy levels may not be up to par for the time being, and this is your body signaling you to take a break. This is not an ideal time for pushing forward with new personal projects and plans. It is better to finish up projects and tie up loose ends now.
From June 21st forward:
The Sun illuminates your first house now, bringing issues surrounding your personal identity, appearance, outward behavior, and self-expression to the forefront. This marks the peak of your physical solar cycle, and you are in the position to make an impression on others, and to assert your personal influence. Spontaneity of expression is what this transit is about. You are ready to put your past behind you and to start a new personal cycle. You have presence and you project confidence. Increased energy and a renewed feeling of confidence is with you now, so take advantage.
It's a great month to do something entirely new and pioneering—to go solo in some area of your life. This particular season of the year smiles on your personal endeavors. This is a time when you more easily get in touch with a true sense of your identity and purpose. The most enterprising side of your nature surfaces, and it's time to seize opportunities. Existing problems in your life may be overcome now by bravery and a straightforward approach to your life.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of self-centeredness during this cycle, but avoid taking it too far. It's not the best time for teamwork and other cooperative endeavors. The spotlight is on you and your ability to lead, so make it a good one! Take steps to improve how you come across to others. It's time to carve your own path in life.
Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on June 5th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar sixth house. Surprises surrounding work, working relationships, daily routines, or health issues are in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Flaws come to light and demand a clean-up. This could manifest as, for example, a work project coming to an end or bearing fruit, a surprising announcement on the job, a circumstance that calls for you to support a co-worker, a flurry of activity prompted by the demands of work or for your services, a surprising health matter, and other such possibilities. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind.

Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar first house, suggesting a new approach to your personal life, the manner in which you come across to others, and the way you assert yourself. A focus on ways to improve or enhance your appearance and mannerisms may be part of the picture in the coming months, as well as a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to how you assert your needs and express yourself to others. This is a phase when you have an increased awareness of your own needs. It's a very powerful time for you--a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. This is a personally busy time of year, when you feel energetic and enthusiastic. Think about how you present yourself to others, focus on changing personal habits in such a way as to improve your confidence in yourself, and concentrate on putting your best foot forward, as this is a time when you will get noticed and make a personal impression on others. However, factor in the importance of authenticity in your presentation of yourself. You do not have to, of course, reveal all of yourself to others, but the sign of Aries associated with the first house reminds us of the importance of acting on our impulses and believing in ourselves. This is a time when you can be brave and enjoy new experiences.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
All month:
Venus continues to transit through your solar twelfth house now. The twelfth house is a sector of endings, privacy, and mental health, and with Venus here, it's possible that you are reviewing your feelings for someone, or enjoying a more private love life for the time being. You may not be open with your affections for whatever reason now, and this shouldn't be a problem—it may be difficult to articulate, verbalize, or intellectualize your feelings for the time being. Doing some soul-searching as well as an enhanced ability to perceive other dimensions in love can lead you to a deeper understanding of your own love needs and possibly of a love relationship. Love might involve some form of sacrifice or simply a lot of giving and lending of support as opposed to receiving during this cycle.
Venus is retrograde from May 13th to June 25th Venus retrograde in general: As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what--and who--we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or predestined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for "eyes wide open" or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends.This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs for the most part in your solar twelfth house of all that lies beneath the surface of things. People from the past may resurface--physically or they might simply come to the forefront of your mind. You may be dealing with past karma now. What you want from love--your desires--are very ambiguous and obscure during this cycle. Deal with your past so that you can put it behind you, but don't do it at the expense of your present.
Relationships with friends and family may be a little strained, or they can be up for review, as these are Venus-ruled areas of your chart.
Delays and problems slowly but surely begin to clear after June 25th.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
All month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar first house. During this cycle, you are more communicative than usual. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that conversations are at their best right now, simply because you are more interested in expressing yourself than listening! You are especially alert and a little cerebral now. You have a receptive audience for your ideas.
Mercury is retrograde from June 18th forward (until July 12th)
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal communications in general as well as communications about the past because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your intuition usually serves you very well, but may not be up to par for the time being. Take care when it comes to presenting ideas, writing letters, and any detail work. You may not be seeing the whole picture.
Occurring in your solar first house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to your body language. Others may misinterpret your body language, and you should be aware of a tendency to give off mixed signals. People in your life may complain that you seem emotionally distant. You may appear uncommunicative and hard to reach, or what you say comes out wrong. This is a time to review the manner in which you come across to others--not so much whether it truly reflects your nature, but more in terms of whether it is working for or against you. Don't worry too much if others aren't quite "getting" you for the time being. Things will change once Mercury turns direct, so you might decide to try to keep status quo for the time being. You might spend more time than usual when it comes to making decisions now, and this is natural. Rushed decisions may be regretted when you change your mind later on.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 27th:
Mars continues to animate and energize your solar ninth house. Your energy levels and sense of timing are good during this cycle. You are strong and bold in your beliefs and convictions as well, and others tend to naturally follow your lead. You actively seek out new learning experiences and have a strong desire to set out on new adventures, however big or small. Others find you easy to be around, even inspiring and energizing, and are attracted to your assertiveness and courage.
From the 28th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar tenth house. This transit stimulates your ambition and/or your desire to be recognized for your accomplishments. Whether it's professional or personal, you are likely to have an increased desire for others to notice you. This can be a good time to become self-employed or start a business if other factors (and Mars itself) are favorable. Conflicts with those in authority are possible now. You may pour more energy into self-promotion or business/career activities.

June 2020 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar twelfth house. This indicates a new approach to the ways you handle your inner world, the ways you compassionately serve others, and the manner in which you handle guilt. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries". Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. These themes will be with you for the next six months.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Venus is retrograde from May 13th to June 25th Venus retrograde in general: As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what--and who--we value.

This month:This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs, for the most part, in your solar eleventh house of friendships, groups, and aspirations. Your friendships or associations with groups may be a little strained during this period--a time when you may withdraw and others might misinterpret your intentions, or when friends are distant. You may get the feeling that friends are either disinterested or insincere during this cycle.
Relationships with friends and family may be a little strained, or they can be up for review, as these are Venus-ruled areas of your chart.
Delays and problems slowly but surely begin to clear after June 25th.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until June 7th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
From June 7th forward:
With Mercury in your solar first house, you are most inclined to speak up about matters that you previously were only mulling over. Your disposition is more intellectual than usual now, and self-expression comes easily. You are sharper than usual--more observant, and more inclined to "live in the head". Relationships with siblings, neighbors, classmates, and casual friends may become more prominent in your life now.
It is likely that you will initiate discussions during this period, evaluate your appearance and the impact you have on those around you, and make contact with others rather than stay chained to any one place or activity.
This is the time to be direct and to communicate your needs and interests. You are more inclined to talk about yourself and your personal past now. This may also be a restless time when it is difficult to turn the thinking process off when it would be better to relax! It is an especially fruitful time for any endeavor that requires dealing with words, ideas, and facts and figures.
Your demeanor is more youthful, perhaps mischievous, light-hearted, and non-threatening so that others may be more inclined to turn to you for advice or pleasant conversation. Using the power of words to attract what you want or to further your interests works best for you now.
Mercury is retrograde from June 18th forward (until July 12th)
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal communications in general as well as communications about the past because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your intuition usually serves you very well, but may not be up to par for the time being. Take care when it comes to presenting ideas, writing letters, and any detail work.

Overview Horoscope:
June 2020 Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
There is much going on under the hood for you this month, dear Cancer. It's not a time to push ahead for all, and this may be particularly the case for you, although the last week of June is certainly a motivating period.
This is an important time of the year for renewal, healing, rest, and reflection. You'll find that you're often thinking about the past, assessing individual projects (and on occasion for some of you, relationships) for their viability, and dealing with culminations. You could find you're playing a waiting game often enough this month, but for the most part, you do it in style! Activities that repair and heal your spirit and help you renew your energy stores are particularly appropriate and beneficial. You're not in the best position to move your projects forward, but it's a great time for getting your bearings. Keeping things low-profile seems appropriate.
Still, Mars is moving in harmony with your sign until the 27th, and you'll find it natural to assert yourself. Energy and confidence run higher than they usually do in the weeks before your birthday. You believe in your dreams! Certainly, Mercury spends all of the month in your sign, and some of it retrograde (from the 18th forward). Small problems are likely to crop up, but with Mars in your corner, you mostly feel on top of things.
Until the 25th, Venus remains retrograde, and it's tucked away in your solar chart, out of sight. More information may surface about a private or past issue that will help you make better plans and future decisions. From the 3rd forward, you may be a little clearer about which actions to take based on recent revelations. Still, it's best to process and digest things rather than finalize. Slowly but surely, life feels a little more straightforward in love and with pleasure and comfort from the 25th forward.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 5th is a signal that eclipses are beginning to transition out of your sign axis. It's likely to pull up some discontent and dissatisfaction, but it's also good for motivating you to make improvements. Work, health, and routines or habits come into strong focus now. There can be a bit of a scramble to get your life into better working order, and the benefits of doing so are significant. You'll be doing a lot of balancing of work/rest and emotional health and physical health in the next couple of years, and realizations occurring now can spur this process along. The first week of June tends to bring dysfunctional areas of your life to your strong attention. Desires can come on with great force, and while you should certainly listen to them, take your time with their pursuit, as emotions are heightened and it can be difficult to be objective.
Tensions can arise if you have too much on your plate or feel the need to rush things. Philosophical debates can all too quickly escalate into arguments or run into personal territory with the Sun in conflict with Mars and then Neptune from the 5-11, so watch for wasting energy on them. These transits work behind the scenes in your solar chart, obscuring the real source of your discontent. If you're becoming restless with your routine, it's best to make changes to it rather than avoid it. You're looking for experiences that add more meaning to your life and that nourish your spirit. Entertain new feelings and desires, but take your time when it comes to pursuing them.
While it's a go-slow month in many respects, there are some real opportunities to enjoy yourself. You might feel you're growing through your contact with someone special, and sharing a perspective philosophy can bring a relationship to a higher level of understanding.
The Sun enters your sign on the 20th, and then a Solar Eclipse occurs in Cancer the next day. This potent New Moon is one of the final nudges in a set of eclipses that prompt a new direction with a better understanding of your relationship needs and sense of independence. Reshaping your image if it needs tweaks can also be in focus. This is the final Solar Eclipse in your sign for many years, so make it count! It's a time to reinvent yourself in some personal way, such as with a new look or manner of expressing and presenting yourself. Still, ease yourself into this dynamic phase of your life.
Keep in mind that situations can appear more complicated than they are with Neptune's retrograde station happening around the eclipse, but you'll get used to things sooner than later. Mars moves to the top of your solar chart on the 27th, and you might be tapping into strong ambitions or a new sense of direction. You may have been focusing on making your life more enjoyable and interesting, but you're gradually shifting your attention towards taking care of business, performing, and handling your responsibilities. You can feel highly motivated to go forward on a professional or lofty project or goal.
You're likely to enjoy a sense of purpose in the last days of June. You have more stamina and patience than usual to see something through, or to work on an endeavor that doesn't have immediate rewards and results but that will produce for you over the long term. It's a good time to quit a bad habit, or to take steps towards that end, and for a boost in your reputation or credibility.

Cancer (Born July 13 to 22)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Cancer:
June 2020 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June 2020
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until June 10th:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now.
You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.
From June 10th forward:
The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break.
It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.
Eclipses
A Lunar Eclipse occurs on June 5th:
A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.
This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar fifth house. Surprises coming from a romantic partner or child may be part of the picture. Something that has been brewing or "in hiding" comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Your house of creativity, romance, pleasure, and children is involved. This could manifest, for example, as a romantic proclamation from a lover, a creative project bearing fruit, a child revealing something significant to you, and other such possibilities.
A Solar Eclipse occurs on June 21st: A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings. The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar twelfth house. This indicates a new approach to the ways you handle your inner world, the ways you compassionately serve others, and the manner in which you handle guilt. This is a period of review, letting go, and recharging your spiritual and, in effect, physical "batteries". Focus, now, is on fulfillment through service, empathy, and awareness of other's needs; but it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in a social sense, depending on your personal and natural predisposition. Some kind of soul-searching is in order, and the urge to find some level of emotional peace of mind will be apparent. These themes will be with you for the next six months.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
This month:
Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.
Venus is retrograde from May 13th to June 25th Venus retrograde in general: As the planet of love and values, Venus retrograde periods are periods during which we re-assess what--and who--we value. It is a period that most astrologers consider inopportune for getting married or starting a new relationship. Major financial undertakings are not advised during this period as well. Venus retrograde cycles are good times for creating budgets and financial plans, and for re-thinking our personal relationships. Old friends and lovers may re-appear, perhaps complicating current relationships. We are called upon to deal with relationship issues from the past. Events occur that seem fated or predestined. It can be a real challenge getting close to a lover during this period of time. Unorthodox, experimental, and non-intimate relationships may be favored. Relationships that have been especially challenging may come to an end during this cycle. However, strong relationships will survive it, even if there are a few bumps and bruises along the way. For singles, this is a good time for "eyes wide open" or experimental dating. It is not a time when people recognize the need for another person to complete them, or some people may be questioning whether they are with partners who actually fulfill them. This period is good for re-evaluating our relationship needs; but, again, major love decisions are best saved for after the cycle ends.This Venus Retrograde cycle occurs, for the most part, in your solar eleventh house of friendships, groups, and aspirations. Your friendships or associations with groups may be a little strained during this period--a time when you may withdraw and others might misinterpret your intentions, or when friends are distant. You may get the feeling that friends are either disinterested or insincere during this cycle.
Relationships with friends and family may be a little strained, or they can be up for review, as these are Venus-ruled areas of your chart.
Delays and problems slowly but surely begin to clear after June 25th.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
This month:
Mercury continues to transit your solar twelfth house. This is a cycle in which clear decision-making does not come easily. You are paying more attention to unspoken or hidden elements of any circumstance. You are seeing all sides to any given story, and forming a definite opinion does not seem "right" for the time being. Thoughts turn to the past. It's a strong period for gaining different perspectives on problems or issues in your life, as well as for reflection and research, but not the easiest time for presenting your ideas.
Mercury is retrograde from June 18th forward (until July 12th)
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of personal communications in general as well as communications about the past because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your intuition usually serves you very well, but may not be up to par for the time being. Take care when it comes to presenting ideas, writing letters, and any detail work. You may not be seeing the whole picture.
Occurring in your solar twelfth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition. Perhaps you're picking up the wrong cues or reading too much into situations. Whatever the case may be, for the time being, you may not feel that your intuition is serving you well. Be as non-judgmental as you can, but do keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. You might unwittingly reveal something that you'd prefer to keep private. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 12th:
Mars continues to energize your solar eighth house. This is a less outwardly assertive or aggressive stage for you as you take the time to process recent events in your life and to develop strategies for going after what you want in the future. You are more observant than active during this cycle, and more strategic and deliberate when you do take action. There may be an increase in sexual appetite now. It's an excellent period for eliminating wasteful activities. Shared finances can come into focus, and you might feel an increased need to take charge of these matters. This could lead to disputes and disagreements if you are not careful or sensitive in your dealings with others.
From the 12th forward:
Mars animates and energizes your solar ninth house. During this period, you are especially enthusiastic and more bold than usual. Some restlessness and hunger for adventure is experienced now. Essentially, you are looking to expand your activities, and you may find that you have a lot of energy for higher studies, travel, or simply new subjects. Negative potentials include being excessively opinionated or getting easily fired up over differences in points of view, or legal fights.
Overview Horoscope:
June 2020 Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
There is much going on under the hood for you this month, dear Cancer. It's not a time to push ahead for all, and this may be particularly the case for you, although the last week of June is certainly a motivating period.
This is an important time of the year for renewal, healing, rest, and reflection. You'll find that you're often thinking about the past, assessing individual projects (and on occasion for some of you, relationships) for their viability, and dealing with culminations. You could find you're playing a waiting game often enough this month, but for the most part, you do it in style! Activities that repair and heal your spirit and help you renew your energy stores are particularly appropriate and beneficial. You're not in the best position to move your projects forward, but it's a great time for getting your bearings. Keeping things low-profile seems appropriate.
Still, Mars is moving in harmony with your sign until the 27th, and you'll find it natural to assert yourself. Energy and confidence run higher than they usually do in the weeks before your birthday. You believe in your dreams! Certainly, Mercury spends all of the month in your sign, and some of it retrograde (from the 18th forward). Small problems are likely to crop up, but with Mars in your corner, you mostly feel on top of things.
Until the 25th, Venus remains retrograde, and it's tucked away in your solar chart, out of sight. More information may surface about a private or past issue that will help you make better plans and future decisions. From the 3rd forward, you may be a little clearer about which actions to take based on recent revelations. Still, it's best to process and digest things rather than finalize. Slowly but surely, life feels a little more straightforward in love and with pleasure and comfort from the 25th forward.
The Lunar Eclipse on the 5th is a signal that eclipses are beginning to transition out of your sign axis. It's likely to pull up some discontent and dissatisfaction, but it's also good for motivating you to make improvements. Work, health, and routines or habits come into strong focus now. There can be a bit of a scramble to get your life into better working order, and the benefits of doing so are significant. You'll be doing a lot of balancing of work/rest and emotional health and physical health in the next couple of years, and realizations occurring now can spur this process along. The first week of June tends to bring dysfunctional areas of your life to your strong attention. Desires can come on with great force, and while you should certainly listen to them, take your time with their pursuit, as emotions are heightened and it can be difficult to be objective.
Tensions can arise if you have too much on your plate or feel the need to rush things. Philosophical debates can all too quickly escalate into arguments or run into personal territory with the Sun in conflict with Mars and then Neptune from the 5-11, so watch for wasting energy on them. These transits work behind the scenes in your solar chart, obscuring the real source of your discontent. If you're becoming restless with your routine, it's best to make changes to it rather than avoid it. You're looking for experiences that add more meaning to your life and that nourish your spirit. Entertain new feelings and desires, but take your time when it comes to pursuing them.
While it's a go-slow month in many respects, there are some real opportunities to enjoy yourself. You might feel you're growing through your contact with someone special, and sharing a perspective philosophy can bring a relationship to a higher level of understanding.
The Sun enters your sign on the 20th, and then a Solar Eclipse occurs in Cancer the next day. This potent New Moon is one of the final nudges in a set of eclipses that prompt a new direction with a better understanding of your relationship needs and sense of independence. Reshaping your image if it needs tweaks can also be in focus. This is the final Solar Eclipse in your sign for many years, so make it count!

About These Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t abruptly change as the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The Lunar Cycles section reveals lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as “Your Personal New Moon” and “Monthly career peak” repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
