Libra Monthly Horoscope - June 2017

This June is yours for the taking, Libra! Exciting news pours in, and stalled opportunities pick up momentum. (Pinch yourself if you must, but it’s really happening.) Forget about playing it safe, something your cautious sign is known to do. There are moments in life when you have to take a leap of faith—and this month will present more than a few!

So what’s behind this streak of good fortune? The Sun is sailing through Gemini and your ninth house of travel, risk-taking and adventure until June 21, inspiring you to see boundless possibilities. But the bigger news arrives on June 9, when lucky Jupiter ends a four-month retrograde in Libra, catapulting your grand solo plans onto the fast track. With the year’s only full moon in Sagittarius and your communication house arriving in tandem today, you’ll be downright unstoppable. If you’ve got a message to share with the world or a big idea to promote, get to it!

Expansive Jupiter only visits your sign every 12 years, hanging out for 12 to 13 months. The red-spotted planet first entered Libra on September 9, 2016, kicking off a new decade-plus life chapter. Your energy surged, and new opportunities cropped up for you to take a starring role. Talk about a fresh start! Life started moving at a fast clip, but on February 6, Jupiter shifted into retrograde motion, stalling a few of those grand plans. In some ways, it may have been a relief—too much newness at once threw your delicate scales off balance.

Now that you’ve had a chance to catch your breath, get ready: Jupiter will rocket forward through Libra until October 10, blessing you with four more months to make your mark. Don’t overthink—just GO. You’ve got a built-in parachute with Jupiter on your back. This is truly a “nothing ventured, nothing gained” time, so take a calculated gamble. Stretch as far out of your comfort zone as you’re willing (and then maybe just a little bit more). Don’t worry too much about the outcome as you follow those hunches. Right now, the journey is more important than the destination.

Since Jupiter rules long-distance connections, you could relocate or take a life-changing trip this summer. Perhaps you’ll even reinvent yourself by learning a new language and spending time abroad. There’s a Czech proverb that says, “Learn a new language and get a new soul.” And research shows that multilingual people actually exhibit different personalities depending on the language they speak, as this writer found. Perhaps your true spirit would rather be speaking Spanish or Japanese!

Publishing, entrepreneurship and education also fall under Jupiter’s domain. Is it time to launch that indie brand or share your message in a blog? Jupiter also gives you the courage to completely change your life, daring you to leave a situation that no longer fulfills you. Step boldly into the unknown, trusting that something better awaits. When Jupiter moves into Scorpio and your stable second house this October, one of your wild ideas could turn into a solid (and profitable) new venture.

Take extra-special care of your wellbeing during this high-flying phase. From June 16 to November 22, foggy Neptune will make its annual retrograde in Pisces and your sixth house of health, organization and fitness. Your habits are up for review now. Have you gotten a little TOO strict with that raw, vegan or Paleo diet? Healing Neptune’s backspin pushes for moderation—and pleasure—so that you craft a sustainable lifestyle instead of following trends. You might actually be allergic to gluten, but get allergy tests done by a doctor instead of self-diagnosing. If you’re battling an addiction or a self-sabotaging vice, this is a powerful time for recovery. We love this video from Marie Forleo about how to succeed at breaking habits by saying “I don’t” instead of “I can’t.” And don’t forget to hydrate—watery Neptune’s retrograde calls for more H2O.

The sixth house rules helpful people, and with Neptune in reverse, a reliable person could go rogue. Maybe you’ve been TOO accommodating, making excuses for shoddy work or co-dependently covering someone’s tracks. What’s up with that, Libra? Do everyone a favor and hold Team Libra accountable. That might mean explicitly outlining expectations, deadlines and so on. Instead of being “nice” (read: timid), be clear. It will earn you respect and prevent needless miscommunications in the long run.

You’re called to step into your leadership even more starting June 21, when the Sun moves into Cancer and your tenth house of career for a month. While others are sunning themselves on summer vacays, your heat zone is at the office. Plan your vacations for after July 22, and lean in to this productive and prosperous phase. Do a midyear check-in on your goals and recalibrate. Combine business and pleasure by hitting industry events where you can make promising new contacts. With go-getter Mars also in Cancer from June 4 to July 20, you’re especially fired up to make your mark. Mars only visits your sign every two years, so take advantage of this motivated cycle!

The June 23 Cancer new moon calls on you to own your power. You could receive a prestigious opportunity or recognition for your talents. Is public speaking in your future? You may be invited to give a talk or keynote speech. This is no lucky break, Libra—you worked hard to earn it. New moons kick off new six-month chapters, and this one will culminate at the January 1, 2018, Cancer full moon. Get super-precise about where you’d like to be by the end of 2017, setting intentions and creating actionable steps to get there. Your father or an important man could play into events near this date.

But don’t take ALL the fun out of it, Libra. On June 25, adventurous Jupiter locks into a heated square with Mars in your ambitious tenth house. Have you painted yourself into a corner? Be careful not to say “yes” to anything overly structured, including a job offer, if it comes at the expense of your freedom. Your personal growth is just as important, and you don’t want to curtail your self-discovery by taking on too many hefty responsibilities.

Luckily, Mars will form a fortuitous trine with enchanting Neptune on June 26. Serendipitous people could pop out of the woodwork to help make your dreams a reality. Instead of trying to do it all yourself, delegate to a capable and competent team. After all, the mark of a good leader is someone who empowers the troops. Connect with your tribe, Libra—sharing the victory will be so much sweeter.
