Your Queer Weekly Horoscope: June 24-30

At the end of this week, shadow ruler Lilith moves to your sign and you embark on your own villain era. I am absolutely fascinated to find out what that’s going to look like on you, Libra! I’ve got a feeling y’all might resemble Inanna a bit.

What the stars are up to:

• Your sign ruler Pluto is retrograde in Aquarius.

What it means:

Pluto remains retrograde, relaxing your signature Scorpio intensity by about 2%. You’ll catch little flares of feeling while the Moon travels through Aquarius (hurray!), Aries (all right!), and Taurus (ouch!). Treat yourself kindly, and consider spending some time in your own bubble lest the emotional riptide of Cancer Season snatch you up unawares.

What the stars are up to:

• Your sign ruler Jupiter is in Gemini.

What it means:

Your sign ruler Jupiter in Gemini during Cancer’s month with the Sun… and that’s pretty much it! You’re out of sync with the mood of the season. This week, when deep wounds and disrupted destiny reign supreme, that’s probably a blessing. Just keep bumping Brat and do your best to stay out of trouble!

What the stars are up to:

• Your sign ruler Saturn is in Pisces.
• Mercury creates a trine with Saturn.
• On Saturday, Saturn turns retrograde.

What it means:

This week offers a prime opportunity to talk about your ambitions. You should be able to express yourself clearly and effectively, and plainly articulate plots to fulfill your goals! But then at the very end of the month, it might be better to plan a staycation than continue to energetically pursue your aspirations. Saturn’s retrograde doesn’t spell disaster — it merely mutes your patron planet’s organized influence — but it still might inspire you to ease up your pace a bit, just temporarily.

What the stars are up to:

• Pluto is retrograde in your sign.
• Your sign ruler Uranus is in Taurus.
• Mercury forms a sextile with Uranus.
• The waning gibbous Moon in your sign passes through conjunction with Pluto, creates a trine with Jupiter, and squares off against Mars and Uranus.

What it means:

You experience an immense feeling of expansion and ease at the dawn of the week… which is fortunate, because you do not receive a corresponding surge in motivation and innovation. Oh well! Seven days is an era unto itself, and by the end of June you realize how to approach a very important conversation about yourself.

What the stars are up to:

• Saturn and your ruler Neptune are in your sign.
• Mercury creates a trine with Saturn.
• Neptune opposes Lilith.
• The waning gibbous Moon in your sign creates trines with the Sun, Venus, and Mercury; squares off against Jupiter; forms sextiles with Mars and Uranus; and passes through conjunction with Saturn and Neptune.
• On Saturday, Saturn turns retrograde.

What it means:

You are very productive during the final week of Pride Month, talking the talk and walking the walk to effect positive development in your self and community. Then, just before the calendar turns to July, you reach a point where you’re ready to lighten up and take life less seriously for a while. Have some fun this weekend. Spend a few hours doing something “pointless” for no other reason than fleeting whimsy. It’s good for you!

What the stars are up to:

• Chiron and the North Node are in your sign.
• Your sign ruler Mars is in Taurus.
• Venus squares off against the North Node and forms a sextile with Mars.
• Mercury squares off against Chiron.
• The Last Quarter Moon in your sign forms sextiles with Pluto and Jupiter, and squares off against the Sun, Venus, and Mercury.

What it means:

You’re in for a tough one, Aries. You crave energy and action, but you encounter insurmountable roadblocks barring your path toward destiny. Then, you’re liable to talk your way into a serious case of wounded feelings. The Last Quarter Moon in your sign expands your boundaries in an explosive burst of life change, but it does so at the expense of your self-image, wants, and sense of adaptability. You’re likely to catch some psychological bruises this week, but fortunately, you’re durable and determined.

What the stars are up to:

• Mars and Uranus are in your sign.
• Your sign ruler Venus is in Cancer.
• Venus squares off against the Nodes of the Moon’s orbit and forms a sextile with Mars.
• Mercury forms a sextile with Uranus.
• The waning crescent Moon in your sign squares off against Pluto.

What it means:

You’re digging in your heels and stubbornly refusing to budge a single inch. You’ve been struck with an odd thought, and you won’t go anywhere until you’ve had time to pursue it to a satisfying conclusion. Order your imaginary executive assistant to cancel all of your meetings for the week, and hold all your calls, as well! This matter requires your undivided attention. You’ll only reemerge once you’ve had time to fully finish grappling with the sudden, all-consuming, and eccentric bout of inspiration.

What the stars are up to:

• Jupiter is in your sign.
• Your sign ruler Mercury is in Cancer.
• Mercury creates a trine with Saturn, squares off against Chiron, and forms a sextile with Uranus.

What it means:

The good news is: you’re going to get some shit done! The downside is: you’re probably going to injure yourself in order to do it! Fortunately, lucky Jupiter’s presence in your sign acts as a cushion to protect you from the worst effects. A fall will still hurt, for sure, but you’re unlikely to break any bones.
