Welcome to June, Leo. As the majestic cat of the zodiac, confidence looks good on you. Last month, warrior Mars put a swagger in your step and reminded you how hot you are. Despite your bold appearance, Leos can be secretly shy and even insecure sometimes, so there's nothing wrong with enjoying a little hype. Stay excited because the first week of June is seriously fun for your star sign. When Saturday, June 3, brings a full moon in Sagittarius and your 5th House of Pleasure, Leos in love will bond with partners through marvelous sex. If you're asexual or not dating, consider treating yourself to a massage or long bath, as this weekend encourages you to nourish yourself physically. Or, if you're interested in orgasms but not another person, consider staying in with a sex toy. The feel-good vibes continue when the lover planet Venus enters your sign, Leo, on Monday, June 5

Back in March, the transformative planet Pluto (goth name: ruler of the underworld) affected all star signs by leaving hardworking Capricorn and entering activist Aquarius. Now, of course, not all Capricorns are hardworking, and not all Aquarius are activists, but on a big scale, this transit can explain the current critiques of capitalism and discussions around work/life balance. Pluto is currently retrograde and briefly re-enters Capricorn on Sunday, June 11, before returning to radical Aquarius on January 20, 2024, where it will stay for 19 years. This dip back into ambitious Capricorn asks everyone to examine their work boundaries and, while still putting food on the table, of course, make a plan to implement them. On this same date, chatty Mercury enters Gemini and your 11th House of Friendship on Sunday, June 11. So, on a smaller scale, this is an excellent night for a dinner party with friends and get away from professional obligations so you can enjoy time with loved ones.

You're ready to do something that you've never done before when Saturn goes retrograde in pretty Pisces and your 8th House of Sex, Death, and Transformation on Saturday, June 17. As the taskmaker of the zodiac, Saturn is all about rules. So, its retrograde is often something to look forward to, as everyone is ready to break some. Of course, this doesn't encourage you to get into serious trouble, but this weekend is ideal for trying something kinky and new to you or playing with a bold makeup look. Whether you're hooking up with a partner or out on the town with friends, with additional help from the new moon in chatty Gemini on Sunday, June 18, it's a lovely weekend for socializing. 

Cancer season officially begins on Wednesday, June 21. While this time of year is associated with wild nights, making out, and flings, you may also be prone to summertime sadness. And yes, Lana Del Rey is a Cancer. While you have an outgoing reputation, Leo, remember that cats sleep up to 18 hours a day. It's crucial that you rest and recharge. So far, June has been very busy, so it's okay if you find yourself craving alone time during the last week of the month. You may also feel lethargic when dreamy Neptune goes retrograde in its home sign of Pisces. So catch up on sleep because you'll need it when your season begins next month. See you in July, Leo.
