June: Your Yoga Astrology Guide to Communication, Nurture, and Growth
Discover what the stars have in store for your mat and beyond this June with our exclusive Yoga Astrology forecast, brought to you by the insightful Amanda Barokh.
June starts with a focus on communication and socialising. The Sun (the conscious mind), Jupiter (luck and expansion) and Mercury (communication) are all having a little gathering in the sign of Gemini. As these energies blend, they bestow us collectively with sparking wit and an abundance of optimism.
On June 6th Venus (the planet of beauty and love) enters its home sign of Taurus blessing our senses with an extra sprinkling of Venusian magic and on June 8th Mercury makes a powerful link to Jupiter – it’s a great time to host an outdoor party or a moment to compose an important message as our ability to communicate is amplified.
After Jupiter and Mercury meet at the final degree of Gemini, they both make an important transition into the sign of Cancer. Jupiter will stay in Cancer for the next year where it will boost our compassion and our ability to nurture each other.
On June 11th we have a Full Moon in the sign of Sagittarius. The Moon makes a link to Mars (drive and ambition) in Leo so it’s a great time to contemplate what stands in the way of our ability to explore, learn and broaden our horizon. Mars is helping us to be more ambitious in terms of what we are capable of.
Full Moon is always the day to write down everything you want to release (and then remember to dispose of the paper you write on).
On June 17th Mars shifts into Virgo where our attention shifts from big bold ambitions (Leo) to doing the nitty gritty daily work we need to do in order to achieve those ambitions (Virgo). It’s a good day to reflect on our daily routines and to consider how they can be refined.
On June 21st The Sun enters Cancer ushering in the Summer Solstice. This is always a powerful day to gather with friends and practice Surya Namaskar (Sun salutations).
On June 25th The Sun, The Moon and Jupiter all meet in the sign of Cancer heralding a New Moon which is amplified by the presence of Jupiter. This is such an important day to set intentions, so mark it in your calendar. On this New Moon we are focused on themes of home and nurture and it’s a great time to manifest a new home or to call in something or someone you would like to nurture. The New Moon makes a challenging aspect to Saturn and Neptune in Aries and in order to overcome this challenge we must be clear and intentional.
On June 26th Mercury slips into the superstar sign of Leo. This is a good moment to grab the mic and step into the spotlight. We are all given an extra dash of charisma and confidence when Mercury is in Leo.
Wishing you a joyful June,
From Moreyoga, Amanda and The Good Ghosts

Aries
June kicks off with a powerful link between Venus (the planet of beauty and love) and Chiron (the wounded healer) in your sign. This connection asks you to reflect on the theme of self-love and to consider how you can cultivate more of it. Venus has been on an odyssey moving in and out of your sign since 1st March 2025 and this Venusian journey was teaching you more about what you want from love and how to love yourself. What have you learned? The most important challenge for you this month, dear Aries, is to get acclimatised to Saturn (the planet of structure and boundaries) being in your sign for a three year stay. Set yourself goals and be clear about your intentions. Notice when challenges show up for you. They are here as teachers.
Yoga practice of the month:
Venus will leave your sign on June 6th so reflect on what you have learned since 1st March. Do a heart chakra centred practice or attend a cacao ceremony.
Saturn in your sign is asking you to be disciplined and hardworking. Start on the mat by committing to a regular practice. The discipline you cultivate on the mat will equip you to face challenges off the mat too. Light a black candle to harness the energy of Saturn. Try to practice yoga on Saturdays (Saturn’s Day).
Journal Prompt: What daily actions can I take to prompt self-love?
Taurus
Venus (the planet of beauty and love) enters your sign on 6th June. Venus in Taurus is sensual and luxurious. With Venus in your sign it’s a great time to treat yourself and indulge so make a list of your favourite ways to spoil yourself and devote June to these pursuits.
On June 11th there is a Full Moon in Sagittarius asking you to reflect on how you can step into your power. Where are you playing small? It’s time to let go of limiting narratives.
Yoga practice of the month:
With Venus in your sign you may feel more connected to your body and in tune with nature. This month, if it feels safe to you, try to practice yoga from a more embodied perspective – notice how you physically experience each pose.
Light a green candle to connect with Venus energy.
Practice twists around the time of the Full Moon.
Journal prompt: What limiting beliefs are holding me back and what steps can I take to release them?
Gemini
Jupiter (the planet of luck and expansion) has been in your sign since May 2024 but this month it leaves Gemini and enters Cancer – before it leaves your sign it gives you a potent opportunity to make a wish or to manifest something important. Circle 8th June in your diary as this is your day for a manifestation ritual. Jupiter (luck and expansion) makes a link with Mercury (communication) so this is a day to ask for what you want – the cosmos is conspiring to help you get it! On 11th June there is a Full Moon in your opposite sign Sagittarius and this Full Moon could herald an opportunity for travel.
Yoga practice of the month:
This month your ability to express yourself is at a peak! This is the month to say what you need to say – ask for a raise, write that dissertation or to say something you’ve been wanting to say for a long time.
Work on the connection between the heart and throat chakra so you can really harness this beneficial energy. You can do this by chanting the mantras “Yam” and “Ham” and by working with poses like shoulder stand, reverse table top and fish pose.
Light an indigo blue candle to work with Mercury.
Journal prompt: What do I need to say and who do I need to say it to?
Cancer
Finally, dear Cancerian, it is your time to shine. Jupiter (the planet of luck and expansion) enters your sign on 9th June – commencing a year long period of good fortune and vitality. Your birthday season begins in tandem with the Summer Solstice and on 25th June there is an auspicious New Moon in your sign. The Sun is linking to Jupiter and the good energy is flowing so take some time to consider what you would really like to manifest. The energy is ripe for wish fulfilment.
Yoga practice of the month:
As the planet Jupiter is blessing your sign with luck and abundance, you are invited to work with the Sacral Chakra (pelvis and hips) and the Third Eye Charka (meditation). A long hold in reclined bound angle pose (Supta Baddha Konasana) with an amethyst or clear quartz crystal placed at your brow centre will help you to intuit how to harness the luck that is coming to you.
Light a purple candle to work with Jupiter energy.
Journal prompt (do this around the New Moon on 25th June): What do I wish for this year?
Leo
Mars (the planet of drive and ambition ) is in your sign until 17th June giving you the energy to get things done. Make sure you have a to-do list written because this is the month when you have the potential to achieve the most. The more focused and intentional you are, the more you will achieve. On 26th of June (Mercury the planet of communication) enters your sign giving you the ability to use your words to lead others. The Full Moon in fellow fire sign Sagittarius on 11th June will invite you to focus on releasing blocks to your creative self expression and your joy.
Yoga practice of the month:
This month you are still working with themes of courage and self-belief. Work with Solar Plexus Chakra (between the navel and the diaphragm) by twisting and moving in a way that promotes strength building. Explore the yoga principle of Brahmacharya (directing your energy towards things that really matter).
Light a yellow candle to work with Solar plexus energy and practice on a Tuesday (Tuesday is associated with the planet Mars)
Journal prompt: What areas of my life need more attention and how can I channel my energy towards those areas?
Virgo
On the 8th June, your ruler Mercury makes a link to Jupiter giving rise to big new ideas. Be aware of the ideas that come to you around this date because when Mars (the planet of drive and ambition) enters your sign on June 17th it will bestow you with the fortitude you require to turn your ideas into a reality. The New Moon in Cancer will invite you to set intentions around community building and ask you to focus on cultivating friendship.
Yoga practice of the month:
Be sure to practice on or around 8th June. After the practice, write down three new ideas.
Light one yellow candle and one purple candle to connect with Mercury and Jupiter. Place the piece of paper where you have written your ideas underneath your candle holder.

As your ruling planet Venus enters Taurus on 6th June you may feel an elevated appreciation of beauty and it could be a time to beautify your home or do a beauty ritual.

You’re being recognised for your achievements so take a moment to consider what you want – is it more money, more freedom or perhaps a promotion? The New Moon is the time to call it in.
Yoga practice of the month:
Work on foundations in your yoga practice and the idea of “root to rise”. Strong foundations are the key to cultivating more success.
Try this simple breathwork: As you breathe in, visualise deep roots that connect you to the core of the earth, as you breathe out visualise yourself growing taller and expanding your awareness.

This month the Full Moon (11th June) in your neighbouring sign Sagittarius will ask you to focus on finances. There is an opportunity to assess your situation and make necessary changes in order to usher in greater wealth – this could be as simple as cancelling unnecessary subscriptions or it could be a day to set a budget and review current arrangements. Your ruling planet Mars is in fire sign Leo bestowing you with extra confidence and intensity. The New Moon in Cancer on 25th June could be a good day to book a trip or set intentions around travel.
Yoga practice of the month:
This month there’s a focus on finances so empower yourself by working with the Root Chakra. Poses such as yogi squat (Malasaña) and seated forward fold (paschimottanasana) will help to usher in a great sense of security.
Light a red candle to harness root chakra energy.

Sagittarius
With a Full Moon in your sign on 11th June you are being asked to assess how far you have come since your birthday. It’s a good moment to write down all the highs and lows you have experienced over the last six months. As this Full Moon is in your sign it’s particularly powerful for you and it’s inviting you to release the baggage that has been holding you back. Your ruling planet Jupiter will be entering Cancer on 9th June heralding the start of a year long period when you are focused on self-care and nurture.
Yoga practice of the month:
Make sure to mark the Full Moon on 11th June in some way – perhaps a slow nurturing practice that will help you to embody the supportive energy of Jupiter in Cancer.
