If you’ve been going your own way, making a scene, and turning heads like it’s no big deal, it’s time to pivot to a calmer, smoother lane. From June 5th to July 4th, Venus returns to Taurus, one of its domiciles — aka a sign where it feels at home. The planet of love and beauty is the ruler of this fixed earth sign, where connections and creative pursuits are way less messy. After Venus’ bumpier transit through Aries, we’ll be swapping “oops” and “eek” for “ooh” and “aah.”
Venus in Taurus adores the good life, and it teaches us that we’re never too hard-working or important to indulge in simple pleasures and pencil in some R & R. So ready those luxe face masks, plush pajamas, and gourmet cheese platters. Over the next few weeks, have fun taking your sweet time. Plan a DIY spa day with your loved ones. Say yes to extra cherries and whipped cream on that sundae. Enjoy a slow afternoon in the sunshine. Why not? There’s no harm in accepting the spoonfuls of honey on offer all around you.
And/but/also: Venus in Taurus can sometimes lean too far into what’s cozy. Don’t let the lure of comfort prevent you from leaving the house or exploring the unknown. Are you actually too busy to hang out, or have you let the need for “radical rest” become an excuse to keep hiding in your blanket fort? Instead of bed-rotting all day, tuck away your phone and get outside. You don’t need 24/7 beauty sleep, and the world won’t stop turning if you go offline and touch grass for a bit. Venus in Taurus is here to remind you how powerful it can be to stay rooted in the present moment. In what your senses are showing you. In what lights you up IRL. And in the possibilities available to you in the here and now.
Venus gets cozy in Cancer from June 2nd through June 26th. Right away, the planet of loving devotion makes a tender trine to Jupiter and the cup of sweet satisfaction runs over. Pleasure and wishes-come-true pour forth in what is one of the most delicious aspects of the year.
Next, on June 12th and 21st respectively, Venus mingles with the outer planets Uranus and Neptune inviting otherworldly notions to this otherwise domestic affair. Bonds turn electric and fantastic as Venus leaves the door open to far out possibilities.
Venus wraps up her stay in Cancer with an opposition to Pluto, the planet of shadow and obsession, on June 23rd. This is quicksand territory. Loving the muddy versions of ourselves is the task.
With the following horoscopes, make a heartfelt wish, flirt with the farfetched and journey deep within to embrace your own alluring power.

When Venus glides through Cancer, look for love in all the right places — the ones you call home. Make a wish for your best case scenario living situation, because your current residence could become just that. Decorate, adorn and celebrate your abode. Cradle the loving vibes like a newborn kitten but maybe say no to bringing home strays. When Venus melts into a puddle of wistful romance, be sure to save a little bit of TLC for yourself.
On June 23rd, see where you’d be properly served by exploring watery caverns of the past. When you think about it, familial relationships predate our physical birth. Open your heart to those lineages. What’s revealed through tradition and ancestor wisdom calls on you to venture further along your roots of origin. In this case, your flashlight is your heart.
Fondness and affection for your local community overflow when Venus settles into Cancer. Exchanges with shopkeepers, neighbors, and BFFs become sweet as sugar over the next 3ish weeks. In fact, these interactions could become a full-on candy fever dream and a part of you wants to keep it going.
The trick is to exist with one foot in this river of delights while the other is planted firmly on solid ground. By June 23rd, the consequences of the sugar rush bring an aha moment. So as not to crash, look deeply into the shadow, the truth that needs to be brought to the forefront. Remember, you’ve got agency over which rabbit holes you tumble down.
When Venus waltzes into Cancer, you’ll be feeling the love when it comes to material comforts and treasured belongings. Opportunities to receive bonus income flow in and the bounty is truly a blessing. This open door directs the resources straight to you and you’ll be feeling shored up and echoing many thanks.
You may be swept up in the sentimentality of your prized possessions because for you, an antique mirror is more than just a pretty bauble. If you find yourself caught in a daydream loop of all the fancy things at your disposal, check in around June 23rd.
Materiality and spirituality aren’t divorced from each other — rather, your good fortune positions you to reverberate gratitude for all things close to your heart.
Mirror mirror on the wall…. When Venus enters Cancer, the planet of attraction shines an enchanting spotlight on you. In the beginning of June, you’ve got permission to put on the rose-hued glasses and see where possibilities for pleasure — romantic or not — abound. Embrace all the trappings that make you feel in-your-skin.
Allow the heart to swell to great proportions as long as you can remember where the line is when it comes to giving yourself away to passions. On June 23rd, investigate where you might benefit from taking care of self, body and mind first and foremost. Your power multiplies as you prioritize yourself and create a sustainable practice of self love.
Sweet loving care is waiting in the wings when Venus enters Cancer. The planet of union and affection is strolling through the part of your chart that retains mystery and secrets. Keeping it interesting, if you will. You could inadvertently imprint on your admirers, causing them to form cute attachments.
The nurturing affection that stirs beneath the surface unfolds when you can make time to turn your phone off, unplug, and sit in silence. Cherish the away-time to connect to the blessings.
Things get a little Beauty and the Beast on June 23rd when Venus contends with Pluto. Merge the two principles of love and shadow for a deeply powerful combination. Who knows what can transform from undesirable to desirable?
Cozy up to your admirers and adoring fans because your crew has you feeling majorly taken care of. When Venus enters Cancer, the planet of adoration will have you relishing amorous connections to those in your crowd. It’s not that you need the masses to fawn over you. Rather, you value the sort of bond that you can foster over time from seedling to mother oak.
Boundaries among your affinity groups may get hazy if you allow small slights to add up without being addressed. By June 23rd, repressed feelings crescendo as Venus opposes Pluto. Have you had your fill? Trust, commitment, consistency, the ability to work through the mud and mire of intimate exchanges — these are the principles that transform neutral acquaintance to close fellowship.
There’s no time to be bashful when Venus enters Cancer and turns the adoring gaze to your work and career. If you’ve spent the last few weeks tenderly fiddling behind the scenes, just wait until people fall in love with your vision in presentation mode. Heartfelt praise reinforces why you’re so devoted to your endeavors. Capitalize on the recognition and appreciation by seeing what fantastic heights you can attain.
Expanding beyond the protective confines of your cocoon can reveal old trepidations about what it means to display your passion. And yet, confronting these shadowy fears, showing them compassion and tenderness, can transform them into good fuel. Caring for the rose of your work means withstanding the prick of a thorn.
When Venus steps into Cancer, you’re invited to embark on pilgrimages of the heart. Fall in love with your studies, travels, and wisdom pursuits all over again. In the beginning of June, you’re flooded with prospects and possibilities in a way that is refreshing and replenishing.
On June 23rd, turn your attention to the churning bend of the river where things get a bit murky. The poet Emily Dickinson asks “Have you got a brook in your little heart,” and therein lies the answer. Be willing to follow the brook to wherever it may lead.
When Venus enters Cancer, you look fondly upon the assets of a collaborator or partner. Thanks to important bonds, you’ve got a sparkly pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The sharing and blending between both sides produce a recipe that you could never have concocted by going it alone.
The love stirred here spills over, soaking through boundaries that you may want in place when it comes to the territory of shared stuff. When that happens, particularly on June 23rd, how can you sort through the junk drawers of partnership? Deep cleaning is often far more emotional and difficult than we anticipate. Confront the nostalgia, feel the memories, then decide whether to cherish or chuck it.
When Venus enters Cancer, the apple of your eye has you seeing hearts and stars. What prime relationship are you hopelessly devoted to? It’s here that you’ll feel a deepening connection, particularly in the beginning of June. Welcome the pleasure and spiritual alignment that’s born from your key union.
On June 23rd, love and partnership get intense. The Florence Nightingale effect warns us of how easy it is to fall for someone simply because they need our care. What if both sides of the arrangement meet each other with their cups already full?
When Venus enters Cancer, the planet of love cozies into the area of your life that has to do with work, health and processes. What’s not to love here? The engine of your routine deserves to be held too. Gifts of tender support are the right maintenance. If you have an animal familiar, it’s a great time to care for them and enjoy that bond.
On June 23rd, tend to the dark and dusty corners that usually get ignored on the daily. You may need to roll your sleeves up, but this sort of work and attention is ultimately a form of self-care.
When Venus enters Cancer, the planet of love and sweetness plants the seeds of creation in fertile ground. Write love poetry, watch RomComs, and allow feelings of amore to lead the way. You can swim deep here, washing all your passion projects in blessed creative waters.
As you dote on your darlings, notice what calls for more caretaking. Inherent with birthing new creations is the responsibility to them as they mature in the world. When sea turtles hatch, they must embark on a treacherous journey to safety. And they are well served by it. If you love something, give it the same chance to thrive.
Venus has entered Gemini, which means it’s time to flirt, unabashedly; send selfies to your paramours; write irreverent love songs; add “sapioromantic” to your online dating profile; adorn yourself in paradox; say one thing, do another; read as an act of foreplay.
Venus will flit through Gemini from May 8th – June 2nd, tangoing with a Mercury retrograde and part of eclipse season. The following horoscopes are an invitation to consider where in your life you might invite more play and word-games, where your wit might become your most attractive feature.

Aries & Aries Rising
Venus in Gemini revives your relationships with a flurry of memes and inside jokes sliding into your DMs. Your phone, inbox, and calendar are already busier than usual thanks to Mercury’s presence here — Venus joining the party ensures that at least some of the busy-ness is pleasurable.
Make time for loves who want to catch up or exchange playlists. Share your eclectic collection of muses with your people. This would be an inspired time to write poetry, make music, record a podcast, or cross-pollinate with whoever’s in your immediate environment. You might even stumble upon an additional income stream in the process.
Either way, a potent sense of being in the right place at the right time may lock you into step with your community around May 17th-19th. Trust that the inspiration you receive from Venus is part of a larger plan that will be clarified during Mercury’s retrograde in Gemini, which starts on May 29th.

If you’ve been bored with what you have to bring to the table, Venus in Gemini will enamor you with your talents all over again. With the support of Mercury also in Gemini, Venus beckons with a grab-bag of tricks and reminds you how to be your own muse.
Though you’re under no pressure to monetize any of this, you can put the spell of inspiration to work in practical ways and speed up the flow of exchange that sustains you. You’ll be feeling especially magnetic when Venus meets the North Node on May 17th, amplifying your powers of charm and attraction.
Shortly after, Venus’ stabilizing trine to Saturn on May 19th will help pave the way for more sustainable success. Remember to stay flexible, though — Venus passes the torch to Mercury on May 29th as the latter stations retrograde. The month of June will involve going back over budgets or balance sheets to hammer out the annoying yet crucial details.

Gemini & Gemini Rising
Feel free to flirt with life. As Venus graces you with the cosmic equivalent of a good hair day for the next few weeks, you’re reminded that you control your own capacity for all kinds of play. It also doesn’t hurt if others lavish attention on you, pick you out of a crowd for your babeliness, or tap you in on a plum opportunity — but that’s just the icing on the cake.
Though this transit sprinkles you with fairy dust, it’s possible you’ll feel swept out to sea around May 27th, when Venus squares Neptune and tempts you with a dream or opportunity that might not be entirely what it seems. It may help to contextualize this Venus moment as a glamification before your closeup.
When Mercury stations retrograde on May 29th, the revision process of your tell-all interview begins.

Cancer & Cancer Rising
As Venus twirls through a part of your chart that’s often reserved for the cacophony of thoughts that keep you up at night, at least some of these internal monologues might feel lighter to hold. With Mercury also here, the chatter is loud, but Venus will add a dose of humor that helps you process new insights around your own self-defeating cycles.
Alternatively, it might be a friend or family member whose true motivations are hard to read, especially around May 27th, when Venus squares off with Neptune. Yes, some truths may be sugar-coated around this time. But don’t dismiss the other very real possibility that you’re being invited to deepen your faith by doubling down on love when you could very well run in the other direction.
As for what’s really going on? Mercury’s retrograde in Gemini, beginning May 29th with a conjunction to Venus, will handle the investigation.

Leo & Leo Rising
Your social butterfly wings are primed for action while Venus is in Gemini. With added fuel from Mercury this year, you’ll be especially busy catching up with your community and cross-pollinating ideas between the various groups you’re a part of.
If this spell comes and goes as a moment in time where you simply enjoy the sensation of spinning multiple conversations in the air — excellent. If you’re not feeling totally allergic to the concept of “networking,” this would also be a great time to put yourself out there professionally, or perhaps mingle with some personal goals in mind.
Note that this Venus transit is actually part of the lead-up to Mercury’s retrograde in Gemini, which kicks off on May 29th. Venus is the social lubricant that helps you pull in important connections. Much of June will be about hammering out the details.

Virgo & Virgo Rising
In Gemini, Venus gives you permission to lay it on thick with the charm of your talents and accomplishments. As someone who moves through the world with more humility than most, tooting your own horn may not be something you feel particularly comfortable doing.
Perhaps you usually prefer to let your work speak for itself. Venus can certainly gift you with a swell of public appreciation and recognition during this time, but you might also find yourself in the right frame of mind to zhush up your portfolio and social media presence in order to properly showcase your brilliance.
Assume you’ll have to give it more than one pass after Mercury stations retrograde in the same part of your chart on May 29th. Venus is here to give you some confidence and art direction as you get ready to hammer out the details.

Libra & Libra Rising
As Venus teams up with Mercury in Gemini for the next few weeks, your love affairs begin at your bookshelf. This heady period of bonding with others on the basis of knowledge, philosophy, politics, and metaphysics not only connects you to those who share your values, but also serves as a reenchantment and enlargement of your world.
This might also be a time where you feel curious about the extent to which you’ve been seeking a type of love from other people that can possibly only be found in communion with the divine.
A spiritually transcendent experience will be most likely around May 27th, when Venus squares Neptune, but that doesn’t have to negate your more incarnate, everyday affections. Venus in Gemini is comfortable holding space for paradox, so you can flirt with multiple possibilities.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
Venus in Gemini invites you lovingly into the fray of messy interdependencies. When it comes to the complex math of “who owes whom” and “where my stuff ends and your stuff begins,” multiple conflicting truths can coexist.
For instance, grief and debt can be the remainders of great love.
This year though, Venus dances in step with Mercury, which will station retrograde on May 29th. Venus provides the glue and playfulness to help you let down your guard and depend on someone more thoroughly. Mercury will remain after the honeymoon’s over to sort through the details and balance the checkbooks.
You might also find yourself literally reorganizing your finances, perhaps with a little extra sugar that comes your way around May 17th.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
As Venus joins the Gemini party that Mercury just started, prepare to be in full-blast “liking everyone’s posts and replying to everyone’s stories” mode. You’ll have more than enough heartfelt appreciation and sweet nothings to offer to your loves, and you’ll be especially adept at crafting the resonant language your heart wishes to express.
If you’ve been struggling to find the words to tell someone how much they mean to you, these are ideal cosmic conditions for overcoming your writer’s block. Around May 19th in particular, conversations will solidify into a concrete agreement or long-lasting bond.
Assume some aspect of this dialogue will be revisited, however, after Mercury stations retrograde on May 29th. For now, Venus is there to remind you of what you liked about each other in the first place.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
By your very nature, you are prone to wearing multiple hats at work. In fact, you make it look so easy that a lot of your multitasking goes unnoticed beneath your facade of capable cool.
As Venus breezes through the part of your chart associated with labor, you might find that your efforts are valued more, or that your work is recognized for its multifaceted complexity.
Cohabiting with Mercury this whole time, Venus may also spark inspiration and amusement from the chatter of how you handle your business and manage your self-care routines. You might be working on a project that’s stimulating and fun, while enjoying more conversations than usual in your work and health environments.
Know that some aspect of what you’re talking about will be further reworked after Mercury stations retrograde on May 29th. For now, Venus helps you find common ground and joy in the process.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
Mercury may have sent out the invitations, but now that Venus is also in Gemini, the party is about to start. These next few weeks will be sprinkled with whimsy, flirty texts, stimulating creative adventures, and talkative, goofy bedroom romps.
As Venus floats through this mischievous air sign, you’re reminded of your own vital life force, which just happens to excel at clever double entendres. Say yes to your social life. Schedule a playdate with the kids. Write some standup comedy, or incorporate wordplay into your creative projects.
Put simply, you deserve to cut loose after all of the heavy-hitting personal growth you’ve been doing this year.
Pleasure can only solidify your progress right now, especially when Venus forms a trine to Saturn on May 19th. Pleasure will also lead you to have a good think about where your priorities lie after Mercury meets Venus on May 29th and stations retrograde. June will be about sorting through your thoughts. For now, follow your bliss.

Pisces & Pisces Rising
In Gemini, Venus turns up the volume on your dinner parties and movie nights, making home the most happening place to be for the next few weeks. Dancing in lockstep with Mercury, Venus reminds you of the pleasure that lies in catching up with your various families, as well as entertaining close ones in your private sanctuary.
Hankering for a spring refresh? Venus will help you add beautifying touches to your space, especially if you’ve been meaning to showcase your books, curios, or trinkets in a more aesthetically pleasing way.
On a less obvious level, this might also be a time to commune with your ancestors and learn an artisan trade or handicraft that connects you to your lineage.
Pay attention to the buried treasures you stumble upon around May 17th, when Venus meets the North Node. You’ll be rethinking, retooling, or reevaluating some aspect of this discovery after Mercury meets Venus and stations retrograde on the 29th.
