Master astrologer foretells ‘more joy’ for the 12 zodiac signs this June

With a multitude of changes on the horizon for the 12 zodiac signs this month, astrologer and author Lesley Francis has revealed her exclusive horoscope for each star sign.

Speaking to Express.co.uk, she said: “June kicks off with a push to expand beyond your treasured values and beliefs to find new purpose and a new focus. It’s the only way to avoid stagnation and feeling stuck. Of course, you want to know exactly what will happen, but let go of the need for predictability and trust in yourself.

“After all, climbing out of a rut or ruts offers a renewed vitality and enthusiasm as well as the potential for long-term success in any and all aspects of your life.

“Just be prepared to take out any left-over rubbish, whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, still dragging you down.

“This may require some deep and uncomfortable soul-searching. After all, being honest with yourself takes courage. The result? More joy, more optimism, and more freedom.”

Aries

This month, those born with the Aries sun sign (March 20 to April 19), should “look before they leap”, according to Lesley. She said: “Your focus this month is finding a place to put all that energy pulsing through every cell in your body. Let’s face it. You want it all. And right now – especially when it comes to love and relationships.”

She added that while it can be tempting to take action for the sake of it when something catches the eye, the first step is to breathe. Then, when you move forward, it will be in a direction you know is what you desire.

Taurus 

For those born between April 20 and May 20, Lesley warned: “You continue to feel like any moment you are likely to go beyond your capacity to cope with life. However, take a moment to see how much change you have embraced over the last two years. It may not have been easy, but you have discovered parts of yourself you didn’t know were there. With that awareness in your back pocket, this month offers you the chance for new beginnings. You step into new love or the ability to strengthen existing relationships, new career opportunities or move to a new home.”

Gemini

Gemini (May 21 to June 20) may notice everything in their life moving rapidly. Lesley warned that while this is favoured by the star sign, variety is definitely the spice of a Gemini’s life. She said: “The challenge is not to spread yourself too thin or find yourself going down a rabbit hole that leads to a brick wall. That way you are able to take advantage of the serendipity that brings new opportunities and new people into your life.

“Both with the promise of dreams coming true, but only if you don’t walk away at the first sign of a challenge or a bump in the road. This is especially true when it comes to love and relationships. Just remember you have more staying power than you give yourself credit for.”

Cancer

This star sign will be affected by the Full Moon on June 4 and the New Moon on June 8 – both of which will urge Cancer signs (June 21 to July 22) to take care of themselves. Lesley explained: “This doesn’t mean retreating from life as much as it means doing things that refresh and revitalise you. But be forewarned. You won’t have the bandwidth to nurture others right now. Your body and your consciousness are asking for space to just be.

“And, before you go into major resistance, remember two things. You deserve to be the centre of your life. And, life is ebb and flow. You can’t be operating at maximum capacity all the time. Otherwise, worry and discomfort become your constant companions.”

Leo

Fiery Leos (July 23 to August 22) have been urged to “take a deep breath” before pushing on through obstacles blocking their path. The astrologer claimed: “Sheer force of will isn’t enough. Create and develop a strategy before you begin your quest. Be prepared to adapt to changing conditions. Stay focussed on your goal or goals and avoid any insecurities or internal nagging. That way, nothing is out of reach.” 

Virgo

Lesley urged Virgo signs (August 23 to September 22) to focus on working hard this month, noting that it is “the key to June”. She added: “But, not just any kind of hard work. It’s the kind of hard work you throw yourself into when a multitude of new opportunities present themselves. The kind that takes you not just one but many steps down the road to what you truly desire.

“Whether you realise it or not, everything you have done in the last two to three years laid the foundation for the success you can now see on the horizon. So, welcome that feeling of excitement, of exhilaration and then harness it. One caution. Take time for the people in your life. Leave space for fun, for romance, for rest.”

Libra 

For those born between August 23 and September 22, this is the month to have fun and “rediscover their internal joie de vivre”. The astrologer warned: “Just be careful not to overdo it. A measured approach is what is called for. All the stuff that got stirred up in the last couple of months is still working its way through your consciousness and you can’t pave it over with a frenetic insistence on having fun at all costs. Remember. All experience is valuable.”

Scorpio

Scorpios (October 23 to November 21) can take this time to “sow the seeds for a new beginning”. Lesley said: “Embrace optimism and your capacity to create something from nothing by looking outside yourself. Engage with the world. Listen to the thoughts and ideas of those around you.

“Rediscover your passionate nature. Because without passion guiding you, pushing you, and energising you, life becomes dull and colourless. Expect this month to provide you with a wealth of opportunities to explore where you are going and why. Set aside your natural resistance to letting others in and welcome love in all its shapes, colours and sizes. It will make you glow.”

Sagittarius 

The astrologer warned those born between November 22 to December 21 that focusing on setting down roots will “change everything” this year. She said: “You feel a new adventure burbling just below the surface. So, what is propelling you forward right now? Strangely enough, its focus is setting down roots. Not necessarily physical ones. More likely spiritual, emotional and practical ones.

“You are putting your life’s adventures into a context that allows you to discover what you truly value, what really is meaningful to you in the deepest parts of your psyche. Right now, this shift is likely to affect all your relationships, causing discomfort and dissonance. Stay true to yourself.”

Capricorn

The Pluto cycle that began in 2008 and called for a complete transformation of everything in your life, including you at the deepest fundamental level, appeared to end in March. But according to Lesley, those born between December 22 and January 19 will find that it’s back once more from June 11, 2023, to January 21, 2024. 

She said: “Expect short bursts of intense energy pushing you to finish cleaning up any areas of your life you resisted being honest with yourself. Or areas that carry toxic residue. Just know you are in flux. This means you can feel joy and lightness at the same time you are doing some serious emotional archaeology. This sums up how June is going to feel in all areas of life. Restrain yourself from using yourself or others for target practice.”

Aquarius

People born between January 20 to February 18 should focus on themselves this month. The astrologer claimed that while life seems to be pushing you to inhabit your own space, it should be noted that this is an “inside job”. She said: “You want this. You need this. You are stripping away everything about you that is not authentically you. This requires a lot of interaction with others and with the external world.” It’s now time for Aquarius to celebrate the people in their life and, finally to embrace themselves.

Pisces

Lesley said: “June brings a feeling that the cloud you believed you’ve been living under since March 7 is lifting. The reality is you needed to ask yourself some serious questions, to get both of your feet on the ground, and turn your attention to what you want to accomplish next so that this month you can turn on the jets and create a new path forward.”

Pisces born between February 19 to March 20 should focus on “being serious” in order to continue to lay down the foundations for a secure future. Lesley foretold: “After all, it will with you until February 2026. A time to make your dreams a reality in career, love, relationship, and health. You name it. You can build it.”
