Not that you’ll be going it solo—your powers of attraction are strong during this sexy cycle. Just be choosy about whom you let into that inner sanctum. It will be hard to let them go once you open the gates.

After the 20th, the Sun moves into Cancer, your ninth house of travel and expansion. You come out of hiding, spiritually recharged and ready to see the world. Your cravings for deep bonding and intensity subside—now you want freedom, variety and mobility. On June 22nd the Cancer new moon could bring a chance to travel, possibly even to move long-distance or abroad. You could find yourself dividing time between two neighborhoods, shopping for beach houses, or looking  for a second space where you can work, write or concentrate on an important project.

LOVE & ROMANCE:
Partnerships hit a sweet spot in June. Sexy Mars and romantic Venus team up in Taurus, your seventh house of relationships. Players be gone! Single Scorpios attract serious, commitment-minded types now. Venus gives you social graces, so chat up that handsome stranger at the latte bar and take his business card. Just pace yourself and don’t get all obsessed this time (hint: no Google stalking until the fourth date). You want to make sure there’s a real match before you start mentally planning the wedding. Hasty Mars can make you feel rushed, which is something your deliberate sign should avoid.

If you’re already in a relationship, revive any stale spots. You should also make room for greater mutuality with your mate. You tend to keep the upper hand in certain areas, so practice letting go and sharing. Do the equivalent of a “trust fall” and hand your honey the reigns of something you’ve kept under tight control—checkbook, bottle feedings, car keys, vacation plans. Relax and learn to depend on your other half again. Even if s/he doesn’t do everything the way you’d do it, learn to enjoy and appreciate the effort.

MONEY & CAREER:
Buckle down and focus. In June, all the little details count, and you can’t afford distractions. The Sun and Mercury (ruler of mind power and communication) both visit Gemini, your eighth house of research and intense concentration. Power through the heavy-duty phase of a project now. The eighth house also rules wealth and large chunks of money. If you’ve got debt, apply for a zero-balance credit card to consolidate. Better still, cut up all but one credit card. Look to where you can scale back in some places, which will allow you to expand in others. It’s all about learning to use your resources wisely.

On June 7th, the Sagittarius full moon beams into your money sector. A project you’ve been working on could pay off handsomely, especially if it involves technology or a social cause. You could get a surprise windfall. However, you may need to divide some of it up among a group rather than pocketing it all yourself. Ah well. If you’ve been wasteful or indulgent, this full moon could deliver a wakeup call. Don’t shoot the messenger, Scorpio. Look where you need to trim the fat, and reign in your spending. Tap into software like Quickbooks and other digital tools.

HEALTH & FITNESS:
Put a little more effort into self-care now. On June 15th, expansive Jupiter backspins into a four-month retrograde (backward) period. Jupiter is in your fourth house of home, family and foundations all year. During this retrograde cycle, you might have a harder time feeling “at home” in both your living quarters and your own skin. Ask yourself why. Have you outgrown your home? You might be ready for a move. (Try an overall decluttering/purging before you rush to call the realtor, though.) Perhaps you’re craving deeper roots than you have now. 

Body image issues deserve questioning, too. If you expect yourself to have a size 0 movie-star physique, explore where that’s coming from. First of all, who has time to work that hard? Rather than beat yourself up, incorporate more body-loving practices into your life. The fourth house is ruled by watery Cancer, and during the retrograde you’re more likely to retain fluids. Be conscious about drinking those 6-8 glasses of water a day. Nourish yourself with home-cooked meals, since restaurants tend to load up on sodium and other unhealthy ingredients. Slow down, breathe and take it one moment at a time. If you do end up shedding pounds, it will be a side effect of taking great care of yourself. Don’t make that your focus.
