Overview for this Month: Cancer (All)
June 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
While the month can keep you busy, dear Cancer, there is a retiring side to you as the Sun (until the 20th) and Mercury (all month) transit your privacy sector. This go-slow period is well-timed! While some other signs may be fighting it, you’ll find it natural to want to review your work instead of pushing for a launch or significant change. Even so, you can feel strongly on the verge of a meaningful change – something big – but you’re inclined to pace yourself, and it's a good idea.
There is much going on behind the scenes and inside your mind in June. This is a powerful time for putting an end to situations or attitudes in your life that have become more burdensome than rewarding or that have grown toxic for you emotionally. Your private life is especially animated. Rest, reflection, and focus on mental and spiritual health are prominent themes.
However, Venus is in your sign from the 2-27, and others see you as especially desirable and likable, and perhaps more importantly, you treat yourself more gently! Venus boosts your charm--you are especially attractive and friendly, and your most gentle, refined, and appealing traits are enhanced for all to appreciate and enjoy! Your idealism and romantic nature are in the spotlight, and you're likely to find it natural to dream of beautiful things, experiences, and situations.
Mercury's retrograde until the 22nd is a little tricky, mainly due to possible communication breakdowns and misunderstandings or problems with transportation. Decision-making can be problematic as you play with different possibilities. You can quite easily put your foot in your mouth or reveal something that you'd prefer to remain hidden. However, it's a good cycle for redoing and refining work already underway and backtracking over the past to find answers you previously overlooked. If you let go of expectations and allow your mind some free rein, it's a good time for creative visualization and pursuits.
The Solar Eclipse on the 10th challenges you to start fresh with your attitude toward downtime, rest, recuperation, and attention to emotional or mental health. Watch, however, for the traps of escapism and avoidance, which can lead to difficulties relaxing, unwinding, and perhaps sleeping, or a general sense that you’re behind or out of the loop.
You can be very busy with your memories, and you may be coming to some important conclusions. There could be a secret revealed, a eureka moment, or you could otherwise be seeing old problems or a past matter in a very revealing new light. You can be directing a lot of attention to past events and relationships, but this is a turning point that sets you on a new path. You are coming to a new understanding of a past problem that allows you to move forward with less baggage. An important blank might be filled through the events at this time, which helps you see things with new eyes. It's a time for putting a long-standing problem behind you.
From the 11th forward, Mars brings more energy, courage, and initiative to your financial life or business. It can also be a time to build up your resources or put your natural talents to good use. The drive to improve your resources is strong, but there can also be some tensions surrounding personal finances and possessions. Questions of ownership and values can be hot topics.
You can experience a real sense of joy through your connections, boosting a sense of intimacy with someone special or honesty with yourself this month. You can be breaking down emotional walls.
Challenges can emerge as your social life is a little more eclectic (or unreliable), and you’re getting serious about your inner world or intimate life. The desire or need to experiment can feel at odds with your need to specialize and focus on one absorbing project or relationship. There can be clashes or cross-purposes between a friend and a lover.
The Sun moves into your sign on the 20-21, awakening your desire to take charge of your life and set new personal goals. People notice you! On the 24th, there can be relationship drama or the discovery of real feelings--you're awakening to your feelings about someone or relationship needs.
Mercury ends its retrograde period on the 22nd, getting you back in the game, slowly but surely. You are more comfortable and at ease with others, and there can be some pleasant opportunities related to mind-expanding activities emerging in the last week of June. Reviving an old plan, project, or idea can be in focus now. It's a beautiful time to publish or promote. There is a strong desire to distinguish yourself from others, take the high road, and do the right thing. Aim to try something new instead of sticking only with the routine, which will help your creativity flow.
As you pay more attention to your duties, you feel more confident in yourself and your profession or direction. You may very well make a substantial commitment or form a powerful alliance or attachment. You can benefit from some self-discipline, and it's an important time for positive lifestyle changes.
From the 27th, your powers of attraction increase when it comes to money, gifts, favors, and valuables, although generally speaking, you’re less visible. Your appetite for luxurious or beautiful objects might increase, as building and collecting appeal to you more than usual. You are exceptionally skilled at making the best of your resources, especially since you’re more patient with business and money concerns during this cycle that runs until July 21st.
Cancer (Born June 22 to July 1) and Cancer Ascendant 0 to 10 degrees Cancer:
June 2021 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June 2021
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.
Eclipse
A Solar Eclipse occurs on June 10th: 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, Pleasure
Until June 2nd:
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.
From June 2-26:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
From June 27th forward:
Venus transits your solar second house and, as the natural ruler of the second house, Venus feels right "at home" here. This is a rather content position for Venus, although there can be some restlessness when it comes to money and spending it—you are more inclined to want more things around you! Financial security and enjoyment of the good things in life are important to you, although you also value simple pleasures. The ability to relate well with others might enhance your own personal finances during this period. You may find yourself in a position in which there is a blending of financial matters with social or public affairs. This is a stable position for love matters and close relationships. You value those who make you feel comfortable, and familiarity is more important to you than someone new during this cycle.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde until June 22nd:
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.
Mercury is direct from June 22nd forward:
Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers.
This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities.
You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until June 10th:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.
This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.
You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
From June 11th forward:
Mars energizes your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones.
You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

Cancer (Born July 2 to 12)
AND Cancer Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Cancer:
June 2021 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June 2021
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.

Mercury is direct from June 22nd forward:
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.

AND Cancer Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Cancer:
June 2021 Cancer Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
June 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until June 11th:
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 11th 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.
Eclipse
A Solar Eclipse occurs on June 10th: 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
Until June 18th:
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.
From June 19th forward:
You could find it hard to deny yourself much of anything during this cycle! This is a time when you naturally let loose your softer, receptive side. Romantic matters, as well as pleasure-seeking activities, come to the fore now. You are more likely to pay closer attention to your physical appearance and mannerisms, aiming to improve and enhance your attractiveness. Others find you especially agreeable and cooperative. You are more gracious, well-behaved (superficial if you are not careful!), and likable now. Take advantage! It's a time when you turn heads, and it's also a period for extra attention to pleasures, pampering, and enjoyment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Mercury is retrograde from May 29th to June 22nd:
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 eleventh and twelfth houses this time, your instinctual judgment may be compromised, and extra care should be used when communicating with friends. You may find that communications with friends or with groups can easily get sticky. Group meetings may be postponed or cancelled, and friends may be uncommunicative or giving off mixed signals. On the other hand, old acquaintances may appear during this cycle. 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. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends and co-workers during this cycle; or, better yet, take this time to rethink concerns and grievances before talking about them prematurely.
Mercury is direct from June 22nd forward:
Mercury continues to journey through your solar eleventh house. This is a time when conversations with friends and various networking activities are much appreciated and offer learning experiences. Your ideas just now are especially progressive and unconventional, as you are questioning the rules you typically live by and entertaining some wild ideas.
Not all of these ideas are necessarily going to last or lead to new projects, but it's a time of dreaming up new possibilities and new possible solutions to problems. You are especially interested in spending time with people who are like-minded. Social interactions are more frequent, light, and fun during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.
This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.
You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
Overview Horoscope:
June 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Cancer:
While the month can keep you busy, dear Cancer, there is a retiring side to you as the Sun (until the 20th) and Mercury (all month) transit your privacy sector. This go-slow period is well-timed! While some other signs may be fighting it, you’ll find it natural to want to review your work instead of pushing for a launch or significant change. Even so, you can feel strongly on the verge of a meaningful change – something big – but you’re inclined to pace yourself, and it's a good idea.
There is much going on behind the scenes and inside your mind in June. This is a powerful time for putting an end to situations or attitudes in your life that have become more burdensome than rewarding or that have grown toxic for you emotionally. Your private life is especially animated. Rest, reflection, and focus on mental and spiritual health are prominent themes.
However, Venus is in your sign from the 2-27, and others see you as especially desirable and likable, and perhaps more importantly, you treat yourself more gently! Venus boosts your charm--you are especially attractive and friendly, and your most gentle, refined, and appealing traits are enhanced for all to appreciate and enjoy! Your idealism and romantic nature are in the spotlight, and you're likely to find it natural to dream of beautiful things, experiences, and situations.
Mercury's retrograde until the 22nd is a little tricky, mainly due to possible communication breakdowns and misunderstandings or problems with transportation. Decision-making can be problematic as you play with different possibilities. You can quite easily put your foot in your mouth or reveal something that you'd prefer to remain hidden. However, it's a good cycle for redoing and refining work already underway and backtracking over the past to find answers you previously overlooked. If you let go of expectations and allow your mind some free rein, it's a good time for creative visualization and pursuits.
The Solar Eclipse on the 10th challenges you to start fresh with your attitude toward downtime, rest, recuperation, and attention to emotional or mental health. Watch, however, for the traps of escapism and avoidance, which can lead to difficulties relaxing, unwinding, and perhaps sleeping, or a general sense that you’re behind or out of the loop.
You can be very busy with your memories, and you may be coming to some important conclusions. There could be a secret revealed, a eureka moment, or you could otherwise be seeing old problems or a past matter in a very revealing new light. You can be directing a lot of attention to past events and relationships, but this is a turning point that sets you on a new path. You are coming to a new understanding of a past problem that allows you to move forward with less baggage. An important blank might be filled through the events at this time, which helps you see things with new eyes. It's a time for putting a long-standing problem behind you.
From the 11th forward, Mars brings more energy, courage, and initiative to your financial life or business. It can also be a time to build up your resources or put your natural talents to good use. The drive to improve your resources is strong, but there can also be some tensions surrounding personal finances and possessions. Questions of ownership and values can be hot topics.
You can experience a real sense of joy through your connections, boosting a sense of intimacy with someone special or honesty with yourself this month. You can be breaking down emotional walls.
Challenges can emerge as your social life is a little more eclectic (or unreliable), and you’re getting serious about your inner world or intimate life. The desire or need to experiment can feel at odds with your need to specialize and focus on one absorbing project or relationship. There can be clashes or cross-purposes between a friend and a lover.
The Sun moves into your sign on the 20-21, awakening your desire to take charge of your life and set new personal goals. People notice you! On the 24th, there can be relationship drama or the discovery of real feelings--you're awakening to your feelings about someone or relationship needs.
Mercury ends its retrograde period on the 22nd, getting you back in the game, slowly but surely. You are more comfortable and at ease with others, and there can be some pleasant opportunities related to mind-expanding activities emerging in the last week of June. Reviving an old plan, project, or idea can be in focus now. It's a beautiful time to publish or promote. There is a strong desire to distinguish yourself from others, take the high road, and do the right thing. Aim to try something new instead of sticking only with the routine, which will help your creativity flow.
As you pay more attention to your duties, you feel more confident in yourself and your profession or direction. You may very well make a substantial commitment or form a powerful alliance or attachment. You can benefit from some self-discipline, and it's an important time for positive lifestyle changes.
From the 27th, your powers of attraction increase when it comes to money, gifts, favors, and valuables, although generally speaking, you’re less visible. Your appetite for luxurious or beautiful objects might increase, as building and collecting appeal to you more than usual. You are exceptionally skilled at making the best of your resources, especially since you’re more patient with business and money concerns during this cycle that runs until July 21st.

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.
