The first week of June, named for Juno, goddess of marriage and devotion, begins with Venus entering Taurus — a sensual, love-charged transit. Venus and Juno both speak of love: Venus brings attraction, beauty and desire; Juno governs loyalty, commitment and lasting bonds. Together, they chart love's full arc, from spark to structure. This week offers a chance to notice which kind of love you're drawn to — the thrill of the new, the strength of the lasting, or the rare magic of both at once.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sometimes you can spot the potential for trouble and exert your influence to get things back on track immediately. But this week's plot twist is one that's best accepted, the sooner the better. There's no time to waste with things like denial, avoidance or arguing with what is. You're more powerful when you simply adapt.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're generous. You'll give your time, your mind, your best creative self to people who matter to you — your loved ones, friends, colleagues and even strangers. In some way, you will get free, perhaps free of obligation or a financial constraint, but most importantly free from a weight of self-questioning. You'll keep your promises to yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your creativity is a muscle that's been working so much it's strong enough to compete in the big leagues. You instinctually know what to make next and move with a sense of purpose even when you're not sure yet exactly what that purpose is. This week, your timing is sharp, your humor is real and your powers of attraction are working overtime.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are someone who makes things happen in the middle of the chaos if you have to. You've a burning desire, and as you work toward it this week, you will come to understand that your want is not a maybe, not a someday, not a thing to be earned. It's there now — working, glowing, messy, relentless.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're not mourning anymore — you're forging. You'll declare your direction. Do you feel like the others think you're delusional? It's only because they don't share your scope of vision and they might even be intimidated by it. Your main job this week is to stay in your own frame of reality and not be seduced by other points of view.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). An outsider might see the good results you're getting this week and call it luck, but it's not luck at all. This is earned strength. This is what happens because you don't wait for permission. You create value. You recognize where others fall short and instead of resenting it, you rise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). This week brings a little of everything — caregiving, art, business, healing, strategizing — and you'll move through it with focus and self-respect. Your confidence is grounded in truth. Your calm is earned. Your creativity is lit up and pulsing, and it's going to carry you, either to a destination you aim for or to an even better place.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're layered and sharp and carrying quite a lot right now. A great sense of humor helps with this, and you have it! You laugh at life this week, and you're funny too, so life will laugh with you. Your words snap and sting and flirt and roll their eyes. Even your disappointments come with punchlines, but don't worry. You won't have many of those.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You'll make magic this week, designing an experience for others. After you execute the plans, you'll be charged, carrying the electricity of a whole experience and wanting somewhere to send it. And when you do, in the right place, with the right people, it will fuel future endeavors.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Anticipation activates your imagination. This is why it's better to make plans than to "wing it" this week, so you'll have the pleasure of looking forward to events. It's a highly creative state to hang out in! The hopeful build-up creates a kind of joy more consistent and controllable than events themselves.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll do everything you can for those you love. You're willing to celebrate them, as well as hold on to pain that isn't yours but becomes yours because you care. But you're not a machine. You're a human being who needs rest. Honor your capacity — love deeply, but protect your energy. Care doesn't have to cost your well-being.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Because you dare to follow an instinct, you'll get to a place in a way that truly only you could arrive. Your heart is so wide, so sincere, so full of feeling. You give love, and you know how to move forward without letting the less-than-ideal parts eat the parts of you that shine.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You've inspired, you've supported, you've been an ally, but this year offers you a new role. You are not only the muse, you're the whole myth. You'll bring your voice to power a project like only you can. Relationships get deeper and lighter all at once. Mutual acceptance is the way — no pretending and an open heart to the whole of one another. You get more playful and fun in your personal life, doing just as you feel. More highlights: an epic travel schedule, healing the most important thing to you, and financial and lifestyle upgrades.
