Key Dates for June 2025

We are almost at the halfway point of the calendar year but what can we expect from the astrological world in June?

2nd June: First Quarter Moon in Virgo

Use this phase to make any adjustments needed, even in a small way. You will find yourself being practical with your approach and able to act quickly.

8th June: Mercury enters Cancer

Mercury, the planet of the mind and communication, moves into the sign of emotion so this can be a brilliant time for being open about your feelings. It is also a good time to work on plans to build something from the ground up and communicate more of these ideas with family and friends.

9th June: Jupiter enters Cancer

Jupiter moves into Cancer where it will stay for the next year, bringing expansive and positive energy to emotions and foundations. It is a good time to pursue opportunities, improve your living situation or seek more emotional support.

11th June: Full Moon in Sagittarius

This Full Moon is gentler than others and you may feel lighter and less serious whilst remaining positive. You may feel more aligned with your beliefs but will be able to walk away easily if they do not. It’s a great time to do a ritual or meditation to remove any blocks that are hindering you from being able to see the big picture, thus enabling you to maximise any opportunities that arise.

17th June: Mars enters Virgo

Mars brings energy and drive to Virgo, the sign of work, so you can have a renewed burst of energy and drive for work projects, your work space or any jobs you do around the home. You may find yourself energised to organise and make steps to improve your health.

18th June: Last Quarter Moon in Pisces

There can be a big ending or major clearing or releasing over the next week. This can help free you spiritually and clear your subconscious mind.

20th June: Sun enters Cancer

Cancer season is here! As the most emotional sign, this is a great time to assess your emotions and spend time in comfortable places with people who support you. This can help strengthen you internally over the next month. It is also a good time to begin a new project if you feel called to.

21st June: Summer Solstice/Litha

The longest day of the year has arrived and signifies the time when the Earth is at her full strength, fertility and abundance. It also symbolises renewal and a fresh start. The Sun will now appear to migrate southernly, previously appearing to move northerly. The Summer Solstice is the longest day and shortest night of the year. Following this event, the days will begin to get shorter and the nights longer.

25th June: New Moon in Cancer

This New Moon can be emotionally energising and you will feel motivated to take action based on how you are feeling. You can also pursue opportunities for improvements at home or with family, making you feel more secure.

26th June: Mercury enters Leo

Mercury in Leo joins the planet of communication with the sign of creativity, so this is the perfect time to spend time focusing on creative projects and ventures.

A busy, emotional and profound month comes to a close as we look to July. Do you participate in any Full Moon or New Moon traditions/rituals? How do you celebrate the Summer Solstice? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Thanks for reading!
