Tomorrow the planets align. Here’s what it means for YOU

Astrologers and astronomers alike have seen some unusual celestial displays this year, from the pinks and purples of the Northern Lights to the solar eclipse witnessed in the U.S.

And today, a rare ‘parade of planets’ in which six — Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus, Mars, Neptune and Saturn — will appear to line up in the sky like dominoes.

Of course, they won’t actually create a perfectly straight line in space — what’s happening is that they are on the same side of the sun and the elliptical shapes of their orbits means they seem to be aligned from Earth. Still, it’s a significant moment for anyone who watches the skies. Here’s what the June planetary parade means for you…

Aries

Face your fears, and transform your finances.

The planet of optimism, Jupiter, has moved into a zone which will begin to affect you psychologically and wherever Jupiter goes, good luck follows. Make the rest of the year a ‘glass half-full’ time, sit back and wait for something special — a new romantic interest, job or opportunity.

The responsible taskmaster Saturn is telling you to face up to your fears and work through them. A regular meditation practice could change your life this month by focusing energy on ambition and rewards. The strongest changes are to do with cash, property and possessions. It’s not a stretch to say you could have a change of fortune.

Taurus

Ditch toxic friends for a happier social life.

With Venus joining Jupiter in your sign, a period of good fortune is on the horizon. That goes for finances and friends. But watch out, with Mars moving into your sign for the first time in two years, you may be in an argumentative mood! If you have any toxic relationships in your life, you will need to deal with them head on.

Careful what you wish for when it comes to making big changes elsewhere. Watch the skies to see how the planets move slowly until they align. Change the way the world sees you with a similarly gradual yet momentous reinvention.

Gemini

Forget this week or this month — this could be your lucky year!

As the planets align, you’re the one with lucky Jupiter actually in your sign — it will stay in Gemini until the middle of next year and then won’t be back for another decade. Channel this energy into being as optimistic as you can.

Professionally, if you take on board well-meant criticism, you can consolidate your position and move from strength to strength. But if you close your mind and take offence, problems can follow. The heavens are literally lining up for you, and it’s a great time to take the kind of leap that might once have scared you.

Cancer

Expect changes in your friendship group.

Saturn’s position in your horoscope means you’re in the mood for learning and growth, perhaps in the form of higher education or trying your hand at a new skill. The new people who are coming into your life at this time will help you to break free from the past so you can evolve as a person.

Lean into exploring things like the power of positive thinking —start a vision board or daily journal to help work out where you want to be in six months’ time.

Leo

Enjoy being the most popular person in the room.

With six planets on the same side of the sun — which Leo represents — you’re going to be extra popular this month!

But there are also lessons to learn in the realms of your finances and your sex life. If things are a little bit rocky financially at the moment, don’t despair. Hunker down and wait for better times.

Sexually, it’s a similar lesson: it may feel a bit lacking right now but it won’t last for ever. Put on your glad rags, accept those party invitations, and look forward to an improvement.

Virgo

Embrace career ambition and view the world differently.

The influence of the planet of growth and prosperity, Jupiter, will mean new opportunities for you under this celestial parade.

Relationships, both personal and professional, may feel a little thankless at the moment, but persevere because gratitude will come your way at some point. There’s a fine line between being a doormat and ditching an ungrateful person too quickly: Virgo is very good at working out where that line lies.

The way you view the world could shift quite dramatically until the middle of next year, perhaps because a sudden event teaches you to look at it differently.

Libra

Expect the unexpected for a better sex life.

Imaginative and experimental Uranus is the big influence in both your sex and financial lives.

If you’re dating, try expanding your parameters and take a punt on someone you’d never have thought you’d be compatible with.

Money-wise, don’t dismiss new ideas or projects out of hand. If life feels a bit of a drudge right now, the planets will shake it up for you soon, bringing a more creative approach to life and even a period of upheaval. The more you can take a ‘lifelong learner’ attitude, the happier you’ll be.

Scorpio

Make time for romance — but you need to make the effort.

No matter how long it’s been since you felt young and in the mood for romance, you can meet someone new or revive something old. Both are on the cards for you with this lucky alignment.

Accept that you have to make an effort when it comes to romance and sex, as well as your relationship with children. Make that phone call, go to see that grandchild, carve out time for romance — and life will reward you.

Relationships will be a hotbed of shifts and changes under this planetary parade. The more you realise that the most important people in your life are constantly changing, the happier you’ll be.

Sagittarius

Welcome a change in your relationships.

If you’re single, this is an amazing time for you to meet someone new. If you’re happily attached, your relationship will continue to evolve supportively. If you’re unhappily attached, now is a great time to make a bid for freedom.

If a family member or someone you live with is upsetting you, it’s worth spending time looking within to see what lesson you can learn. It’s going to be hard for you to get into anything resembling a routine as this planetary parade passes, but that’s no bad thing.

Capricorn

Expect a bolt from the blue and discipline yourself.

If life has been a bit tough lately, the Jupiter/Pluto alignment that’s a part of this month’s planetary parade should help. Don’t expect massive changes, rather small tweaks to your daily life that leave you feeling more content.

Your biggest lesson under the current planetary configurations is that thinking positively makes life better. Discipline yourself not to expect the worst always.

You might see more romance, more creativity or even the arrival of more children in your family.

Aquarius

Luck is on your side so take risks — but not too many.

Please don’t take this forecast as a reason to gamble too much but you really do have luck on your side right now. The danger is that you will take too many risks because you can sense it. Go easy!

Romance, creative projects and anything to do with kids — yours or someone else’s — are all well starred right now, but you’ll learn most over the next few weeks in matters to do with cash, property and possessions. Make sure you have a financial plan in place and then go and enjoy yourself.

Major changes are forecast for you on the home front. This is part of a long-term cycle so you may already have experienced them, but there will definitely be ups and downs in this part of your life.

Pisces

Change your thoughts, change your life.

This period of your life feels challenging but your personal life is on the up, and a better summer is very much on the horizon.

With Saturn in your sign, there are lessons for you in this planetary parade everywhere. Take the time to delve into events or conversations after they’ve happened in order to work out what they’re telling you.

It might feel scary to scratch the surface like this, but don’t let fear hold you back. Just thinking differently about them — re-framing them or understanding why you acted the way you did — can make a big difference to your life.
