The Cosmic Connection

Rising sign horoscopes for June 25 – July 1

Aries: This week may usher in feelings of growing pains. Although your diligence pays off professionally (bravo!), it’s a balancing act between your own growth and your home life.

Taurus: The underlying theme this week is your perspective. A silver lining is revealed, yet fully seeing the new horizon will require keeping an open mind and trusting your intuition.

Gemini: The seesaw of your personal resources versus that which is shared with another holds steady on the shared side longer than usual. Tweaks may be necessary for future goals.

Cancer: How are you feeling in your profession and relationships, Cancer? The light shines on where you may require more commitment or structure, amidst your own soul-searching.

Leo: Daily dedication to your health and well-being pays off. As you bask in the glow of your physical vitality, consider your spiritual wellness. How can you be even more connected?

Virgo: This week brings a culmination in your creative endeavors that may also ripple out to your social network. Identify what’s collaborative and be sure to give credit where it’s due.

Libra: Your efforts to strengthen your foundation come to fruition. As you feel better on more solid ground, it becomes easier to deflect projections from others trying to rock your boat.

Scorpio: You are shown the strength and power of your thoughts and words. Although you may not fully realize it at the time, daily efforts and willingness to change perspectives were key.

Sagittarius: The spotlight shines on your finances, resources, and confidence. The connection to your creative force, or a risk you took, is revealed. Contracts may come under review.

Capricorn: It’s your week to stand out and shine from the inside out, Capricorn. Be your true self in what sets you apart from your family and relationships. Authenticity is beautiful.

Aquarius: It’s a good week to capitalize on your natural tendency towards solitude. Rest, retreat, and refresh with some time away from all the daily noise to reconnect with your soul.

Pisces: Efforts you’ve devoted to community, a greater sense of belonging, and your goals should solidify this week. Enjoy what you’ve orchestrated for yourself along with the boosts.

Weekly astrology summary:

The first full moon after the solstice is incoming this week, along with several important planetary shifts that invite us to “stand still” like the sun just did, to be present, and to slow down to contemplate the path ahead as we approach the middle of the year. Numinous, mystical Neptune holds the cosmic mic with both challenging and supportive influence on the week’s events. Expect the energies to feel parts magical, mysterious, and ethereal. Extra solitude, rest, and quieting the mind may be required as the biennial occurrence of the sun squaring Neptune sets the tone on June 25 and then Mars shifts into a more slow-witted Gemini on June 28. On June 29, the moon’s day, the second Mercury retrograde of the year begins in the early afternoon and then the moon reaches fullness in Capricorn at 7:56 p.m., steadying us and holding the space for power in pause. Think back to mid-January when the moon was new in Capricorn and what may be reaching fruition now. One lovely way to be present and in the moment could be enjoying the moonrise!

The month closes out with gusto as jubilant Jupiter shifts into the zodiac sign Leo on June 30. The largest planet’s presence in the sun-ruled sign of self, radiance, and heart-centered creativity is a big, magnetic energy that will grace us personally and collectively until July 2027. Jupiter spends roughly one year in each zodiac sign, so themes from 12 years ago may begin to resurface. The cosmos will light up like the fireworks we can expect next weekend as July begins, which I’ll cover in next week’s edition! This week’s horoscopes are focused on the Capricorn full moon; see the above horoscope for your rising sign for more specific insight and guidance.
