Your horoscope for the week ahead: A series of challenging squares will keep us on our toes

In astrology, square alignments can often have us butting heads — and this week will be full of them. But these challenging aspects also offer us brilliant opportunities to reflect and rise above. 

The first of these squares will arrive on Monday morning, when communication-ruling Mercury aligns with domineering Saturn. We’re usually wise to think carefully about what we want to say as these planets clash, so be sure to take a beat before speaking and consider the feelings of others. This will be particularly important when emotional Venus squares penetrating Pluto a few hours later, which will amp up the tension, and when Mercury squares delusional Neptune that night, which could cloud our minds with distorted perceptions. 

Luckily, things could become a lot clearer under the light of the full moon in intelligent Sagittarius early on Wednesday. You may even find yourself solving some mysteries you’ve been mulling over for a while. Hearing the call of adventure? This will also be a beautiful time to break free from any self-imposed limitations and really take the plunge. The strawberry moon reminds us that everything we need to succeed is already at our fingertips. 

Then, as hot-headed Mars squares unpredictable Uranus on Sunday, we’ll need to keep our tempers in check. Taking extra time to respond and carefully evaluate your options is usually wise under this influence, but you may also find it helpful to channel this chaotic energy into an activity that allows you to show off your wild side in a safe setting. A creative project has the potential to really take off during this period.  

Finally, the week will wrap up with expansive Jupiter squaring strict Saturn, an alignment that could make us feel constrained and even a bit resentful. Finding a balance between expressing ourselves and respecting the rules will be key, especially when working with others, so open up the lines of communication and employ all the patience you can muster. Hard work and focus will ultimately help you accomplish your objectives — have faith in the process. 

Here is your horoscope for the week of Monday, June 9, 2025.

Aries

Are you feeling a bit depleted lately, Aries? Work matters can affect our overall well-being when we struggle to separate our professional and personal lives. So this week, focus on protecting your peace by clearly stating your needs in both realms — and try to avoid the temptation to overcommunicate. Meanwhile, you could find your mind drawn toward your domestic surroundings and how you can invest in them. This could be an excellent time to upgrade your home or even make a move to a larger one. Start writing down what your ideal space would look like to get the ball rolling in the right direction. 

Taurus

You’re known for your discerning mind, Taurus. And this week, you could be called to use it to process some important information and figure out your next steps. You’ll be wise to do so in private, however, particularly if you find yourself mulling over your assets. You may inadvertently strike a sore spot if you start discussing finances with others. Meanwhile, you could feel called to take a step back and reflect on the endings of certain phases in your life. Take your time saying a proper goodbye to the things that no longer serve you — and tie up any loose ends you spot along the way. 

Gemini

Prepare to get a significant confidence boost when it comes to your cash, Gemini. From now through the next 12 months, paying close attention to your income and spending could inspire you to take a more proactive approach to increasing your wealth. Enjoy speaking up about what you want to attain and cutting out any indulgences that put a kink in your grand plans. When it comes to your relationships, you could begin to notice that your bonds in love and business are entering a phase of reassessment, prompting you to clarify the path ahead. Now is the time to show up for the people who fill your life with meaning. 

Cancer

Do you really need to explain yourself, Cancer? At the start of the week, an unexpected provocation from friends could crop up that tempts you to put up your barbs, but you’ll be wise to ask yourself this question before responding. You might be better served by nestling into your safe space and reflecting on any fears of rejection or people-pleasing tendencies their comments might be bringing up. Then, toward the middle of the week, you could find yourself feeling more empowered and ready to take responsibility for your state of mind. Enjoy making changes to your day-to-day that will help you feel more comfortable in your own skin. 

Leo

Save your breath, Leo. While your compassion for others is likely to grow from now through the next 12 months, some people in your life won’t be ready to receive your advice this week — especially when it comes to financial matters. So if you face any pushback, do your best to keep your thoughts to yourself and let others learn their own lessons. If you can get into the habit of preserving your peace, you’ll be happier for it. Meanwhile, you could begin to notice your dreams becoming more vivid, allowing you to take a peek behind the scenes of your mind. Enjoy discovering your hidden self as you look inward. 

Virgo

Has it felt impossible to get a straight answer out of anyone lately, Virgo? Your nearest and dearest may seem a little unreliable right now, but that could be because they simply don’t have the tools needed to help you navigate the tricky situations you’ve found yourself in. This week, try to redirect your focus inward as you search for clues to solve your conundrums. Meanwhile, on the domestic front, you may notice a home improvement project that requires your attention or feel compelled to go on a decluttering spree in your space. Enjoy making room for new memories to grow. 

Libra

Try to resist the temptation to hand out reality checks, Libra. What you consider to be common sense could be a real bubble-burster to others at the beginning of the week. Instead, make an effort to direct your focus toward improving your own life. This is a particularly good time to start polishing up your image, as your career could start moving in a new direction over the next 12 months, propelling you into the professional spotlight. People in your network will likely be eager to hear what you have to say, too, so you may also want to spend some time developing and even rehearsing your talking points.  

Scorpio

A difference of opinion can sometimes feel like a serious roadblock in our relationships, Scorpio. But you don’t always have to agree with your loved ones’ perspectives — you just have to be willing to hear them out. This week, give your companions a chance to say their piece, and if things get uncomfortable, put the conversation on hold and return to it once you’ve all cooled down. Meanwhile, if you feel driven to untether yourself from your usual routine, don’t hesitate to explore exciting new travel destinations and educational pursuits. Who knows? They could help you reconnect with your greater purpose. 

Sagittarius

No one likes to hear “I told you so,” Sagittarius. And at the top of the week, your loved ones and colleagues may not be in the right state of mind to take in your constructive advice either. Keep this in mind as you interact with others, and try to practise supernatural kindness instead of attempting to solve everyone’s problems. At the same time, you could start to feel a bit of a disconnect between your mind and your body, which could prevent you from finding your flow state. Do your best to reduce the distractions around you, and consider writing down your thoughts in a stream-of-consciousness style to realign yourself. 

Capricorn

Timing really is everything, Capricorn. Keep this in mind this week if you’ve been planning to introduce new habits or ideas to your friends, family or romantic partner. People may be feeling overwhelmed by their personal responsibilities during this period, so if you face any resistance, consider scheduling another time to talk when the pressure is off. Toward the middle of the week, you may also find that indulging in downtime with your favourite people helps you recharge your emotional batteries. Don’t be afraid to take things slow for a change, surrounded by your nearest and dearest. 

Aquarius

Have you been biting off a bit more than you can chew lately, Aquarius? If so, a conflict between your professional and personal domains could have you feeling the pressure at the beginning of the week. But don’t fear: you’re sure to get through this tough spot if you can exercise some compassion for yourself in addition to all the people around you. Think carefully about what steps you need to take in order to bring back a sense of balance in your life. You’ll be called to continue reflecting on this subject throughout the next 12 months as you establish which activities and practices are really best for your mind and body. 

Pisces

Are you prepared to unleash your inner genius upon the world, Pisces? From now through the next 12 months, you could find that your creativity flows freely, infusing your life with extra whimsy, beauty and even romance. You’ll be most successful when you speak from the heart and lean on your intuition, so be sure to stay true to yourself as your imagination unfolds and your mind fills up with inspired ideas. And if others start to take notice and want to team up on a creative endeavour, be sure to take a beat before committing to anything. People who don’t truly understand your gifts may not be worth collaborating with.
