Your June Love & Sex Horoscope: True Romance Vibes
Big blue skies, luminous sunshine, and breathtaking blooms—with the summer solstice in its wake, is there anything more sweet and warm than the month of June? This month’s social, party-packed, and flirtatious vibe, includes two weeks of curious, friendly Gemini season, and two weeks of romantic, family-oriented Cancer season.
This special Gemini and Cancer collaboration makes June a fertile ground for both embracing spirited and adventurous actions, and cozying up with those you love. Thus, it’s a prime time for making romantic sparks fly in your relationships.
Astrological ‘Love’ Dates to Watch for in June 2019
The month kicks off with a harmonious trine between Venus (planet of love) in Taurus and Pluto (planet of transformation) in Capricorn on June 2. This magical meet-up amplifies our desires for love, affection, intimacy, and deep connection. Because it’s happening in two earth signs, we’re more likely to seek fulfillment in pragmatic ways—showing our lovers how much we care through concrete action and down-to-earth heart-to-hearts.
Self-expression is a major theme we’ll do well to embrace, as it’s Gemini season, and this air sign is ruled by Mercury (planet of communication). This will be true especially around June 3, when the new moon falls in the sign of the Twins, and we’ll be envisioning and setting intentions and reflecting on how we share our thoughts, ideas, hopes, and dreams in order to connect with those we love.
However, Mercury will travel through Cancer from June 4-26, infusing our interactions with more emotion, sentimentality, and sensitivity. Instead of communicating for communication’s sake (the Gemini way!), we’ll be driven to speak from our hearts. That said, Venus travels through Gemini from June 8-July 3, encouraging us to approach our flirtations and romantic exchanges with a playful, light-hearted, witty vibe. This Mercury-Venus combo can fuel a craving for deep, heartfelt conversation and all different kinds of stimulation—whether that’s from different objects of affection or from a mix of varied activities you want to enjoy with your S.O.

On June 14, Mars (planet of passion) in Cancer forms a pleasurable trine to Neptune (planet of illusion) in Pisces, upping our appetites for sensual, passionate, otherworldly romance. This dreamy aspect is quickly followed, on June 17, by a fiery full moon in Sagittarius, which is sure to spur a need to shake up monotonous routines with horizon-broadening, risk-taking, and bold adventure-seeking. Even if you don’t head out on a wild road trip with your love, exploring new terrain together can make for fireworks.
From June 21-July 22, the sun moves through Cancer, encouraging us to be even more confident ~in our feelings~, and from June 21-November 27, Neptune will be retrograde in Pisces, bringing clarity to previous blind spots or areas where we’ve been all too content to rock rose-colored glasses.
The month ends on a high-note for passionate, romantic communication, thanks to Mercury’s journey through cinematic love-seeking fire sign Leo from June 26-July 19 (although it will go retrograde on July 7, so make the most of its theatrical, creative influence before then).
Here’s what each sign can expect between the sheets this June. (If you know your rising sign, you’d do well to check out that sign’s forecast, too.)
