June 2016 Horoscopes: Why this will be the month you finally get your life together

Date June 1, 2016

The first week of June may feel like a roller coaster, as dynamic planetary square pattern forms right on the Gemini New Moon on June 4. If you feel pulled in many directions at once, remember you have the power to say no or decline any request that comes your way. Even though life may seem exciting, you may need to set healthy limits to stay sane.

Later in the month you may feel more settled and focused. As Jupiter and Pluto work together around June 26, you can be especially productive, or may make a major – and exciting – decision about your future.

And June 29 brings the news you’ve been waiting for – passion and progress planet Mars stops moving backwards. Delays since mid-April can finally be resolved, and you may feel like life starts to flow again.
