Welcome to your June 2024 horoscope: this is the best month for random Googling, exploring your options, and making time for the interesting detours that lie in wait just beyond the highway exits. Sure, it’ll be easy to get distracted. But maybe that’s just what happens when you start asking better questions.

Mercury enters Gemini on June 3, and on June 4, it links arms with Jupiter as the two planets form an investigative trine to Pluto. Around these dates, don’t ask if you don’t want to know—but you’ll probably want to know. In fact, this moment may plant a seed of inquiry that spirals into a more exhaustive research project. Some overheard gossip reveals itself as just the tip of the iceberg. A random bit of trivia you learn on one of your walking tours begets your new summer reading list. A pitstop in some random town becomes the main quest. There are powerful resets occurring in this area of the sky during the first week of June (including, yes, a New Moon in Gemini on June 6), so developing a new agenda during this time seems likely. If nothing else, this could present as the initial rush of euphoria you get when you’re a kid entering a candy store for the first time. The buffet of options in front of you can feel most exciting before you’re forced to actually make a choice.

Travel-wise, Mercury’s fast sprint through Gemini between June 3 and 17 makes for two weeks of efficient transit, engaging coffee shop banter, and relative success with that new foreign language you’re trying out. Expect some frustrations in these areas around June 12, when Mercury squares Saturn, and June 17, when Mercury squares Neptune. However, problems sometimes lead to solutions, or at least a new way of looking at things. Mercury’s conjunction to the Sun on June 14 brings clarity and insight—if nothing else, you’ll be in the zone for a few hours.

Mercury and Venus enter Cancer on June 17, and the Sun follows on the 20th, initiating us into Cancer Season (and across the solstice threshold). Mental and social overstimulation gives way to cozy exchanges across the breakfast nook, and the intimacy of a small group may be preferable to the chaos of “everyone.” This wouldn’t be the worst time for a romantic (or platonic) getaway for two. And if you’re stuck on where to go, nostalgia-fueled reveries to the places of your past will tug at your heartstrings.

Astrologer's note: Below we refer to your signs as “rising” signs, also known as your ascendant sign. Horoscopes are more accurate when read this way—using your birth time and location, you can qu
