Your Weekly Horoscopes: June 16 to 22, 2024

Cancer season begins on the 20th, right as we reach the bittersweet summer solstice. There’s never been more light, and yet, it only gets darker from here. Mercury (how we communicate) and Venus (how we love and connect) also leave chatty Gemini for compassionate Cancer on the 17th. Do you know why Cancer is such a nostalgic sign? It’s because they know everything is fleeting. It’s time to take a step back and admire what’s come together over the last few buzzy and exciting weeks before moving on to what’s next. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, I suggest journaling or listening to music to release the feels. 

All of this Cancer season deep sea diving is broken up by a practical full moon in Capricorn on the 21st. This lunation is a reality check: a not-so-subtle reminder that though some things are reaching their peak, others still have a long way to go before they’re in bloom. Long term visions need as much tending as short-term plans. This week is about finding the balance between what feels good right now and the tough stuff that will be rewarding in the long run.

(Horoscopes follow for each sign. If you know your rising sign, reading for that sign too will provide further insight.)
