Astro Iris Officially, we’ve wrapped up Gemini season, and I’d like to personally tip my hat to those lively Geminis, the zodiac’s ultimate life-of-the-party archetype who teach us how to play our roles with flair.
Now, it’s time to roll out the cosmic red carpet for Cancer season ♋️! On June 21, bright and early, we woke up with the Sun slipping into Cancer, the Ascendant cozying up in the same sign, and the Summer Solstice in full swing. This is the longest day of the year, bursting with light. The Sun, our radiant source of life and energy, is shining down, inviting us to soak it all in. It’s super active today and throughout the week ahead, so let’s make the most of it!
Right after gliding into Cancer, the Sun becomes the undeniable ⭐️ star of the weekend and the upcoming week. Check out its cosmic dance card
• June 22: Squaring off with Saturn
• June 23: Throwing shade at Neptune
• June 24: Teaming up with Jupiter in a conjunction
• June 26: Sending a flirty sextile to Mars
This lineup lets us tap into responsibility, perfect timing, and dreamy inspiration without getting lost in illusions. It also gives us the green light to act with balance and manifesting mojo—no over-the-top antics needed. But heads-up: any shirking of responsibility, self-made illusions, or going overboard will be spotlighted now and might come with a cosmic side-eye. If you catch yourself slipping (or someone gently nudges you), embrace moderation. Doing things in balance? That’s the ticket to rewards.
Hot on the Sun’s heels is Mercury, zipping through its own set of celestial meet-ups.
• June 21: A harmonious trine with the North Node
• June 24: A tense square with Chiron
• June 26: A sparky sextile with Uranus
• June 28: Cozy trines with Saturn and Neptune
• June 29: A dramatic opposition to Pluto
Then there’s Venus, playing nice with the future and signalling it’s time to look at pleasure, money, and values through an authentic, empathetic lens—no compromises or sacrifices allowed.
• June 27: A supportive sextile with the North Node
The key here? Whatever you do, let it come from a place of love, not ego. Keep it real, folks.
Meanwhile, Mars is chilling out a bit, getting more focused but a tad perfectionistic, obsessing over precision.
• June 22: A high-energy sextile with Jupiter
This gives us a major urge to do things—pure, unstoppable energy. Let’s channel it constructively, maybe even get a little obsessive about fixing our own actions instead of side-eyeing others’ 😉😉😉.
On another note, Uranus is wrapping up its transit through Taurus ♉️, and it’s not going quietly. Expect surprise events that demand urgent action—no more hitting the snooze button. Resisting these changes? That’s a one-way ticket to frustration, suffering, and disappointment. Uranus is here to shake loose anything you’re clinging to out of attachment or fear, thinking it’s “better” to hold on. If these moments pop up, lean in with trust and let them unfold. At worst, it’s a lesson you dodged before that’s now non-negotiable. At best? It’s your destiny calling, ready to set you on your true path. Anything excessive or unnecessary is getting the cosmic boot now.
On the flip side, Uranus can also deliver jaw-dropping, almost-too-good-to-be-true blessings—especially for those who’ve put in real work toward their goals. And by “work,” I don’t mean back-breaking labor, but consistent, intentional steps in the right direction.
These days are packed with astrological aspects, both uplifting and challenging in equal measure. As we step into the Summer Solstice energy, there’s a natural urge to loosen up. Summer’s officially here, so it’s the perfect time to release tension—but you’ve got to do it consciously. Otherwise, that stress might stick around and sneakily take over if you let it.
Here’s my advice: make a deliberate, mental effort to let go of whatever’s eating at you (even the stuff you don’t realize is bugging you). Some of you might even feel freed from limiting situations—whether they were holding you back or you were unintentionally holding others back. If you were aware of these dynamics but didn’t grasp their full impact, clarity’s coming.
One more tip: today and all next week, practice gratitude intentionally and deeply. Whenever a random wave of gratitude hits you “out of nowhere,” welcome it, acknowledge it, and say thank you. Let yourself feel, see, and hear everything around you—and within you.
If you can swing it, spend time in nature this weekend and week. It’s a goldmine for inspiration, peace, and authentic joy.
That’s all for now—I’ve got a date with the Sun today 🌞💛! Oh, and one last thing: Happy birthday to all the Cancer natives out there! Wishing you joy, prosperity, health, and unwavering faith! ♋️
