Our lives can sometimes seem like Groundhog Day when we’re stuck in repetitive patterns and going nowhere. We wake up at the same time, eat the same thing for breakfast, travel the same route to work, do the same job, and go home and watch the same programs on TV. Then it all begins again the next day. Sometimes the stuckness goes beyond daily habits, and we long to change but can’t.

Perhaps we’re not ready to move on yet, or maybe we need to ditch the baggage we’ve been carrying around far too long. Sometimes we just don’t know what changes we need to make. Whether you’ve become stuck in the same routine or your life is crying out for major changes, June is a month when we can wipe the sleep from our eyes and wake up to a new day.

Early in the month, three planets change signs. This will feel like a breath of fresh air for most people (especially for Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer), as Venus, Mercury, and Mars move into those signs respectively. Additionally, the planets are moving very swiftly. Mercury races through Gemini in the space of just two weeks (June will pass very quickly for the Mercury-ruled signs Gemini and Virgo), and the Sun joins Mercury on June 21, moving into Cancer. So there will be no less than five planetary sign changes in June, and although they’re not big planets creating pronounced shifts, they affect things moving rapidly with potential for new beginnings.
