Welcome to your weekly horoscope—a new beginning is here! We begin the first week of June (don't forget to check your June 2022 horoscope) under the new moon in Gemini, laying the ground for new ideas to be born. This moon is clashing with Juno, the asteroid of commitment, bringing to the surface the need to revise the boundaries in some of our most important bonds. Luckily, asteroid Chiron is also involved, bringing healing so we can move past our insecurities in love and relationships.
On June 3, the second Mercury retrograde of 2022 ends. This happens while the cosmic messenger is locked in a square with stern Saturn so expect issues with authority figures like bosses, parents, or the government to come to a head around this time. If possible, it’s best to still wait for Mercury to be moving at normal speed (June 11) to sign important documents and make crucial decisions.
Over the weekend, Saturn, the teacher planet of time, goes retrograde. Since Saturn is crucial to our learning journey, the weekend vibes are ideal to honor that which we have so far learned this year. While this switch in movement can be felt intensely now, slowly but surely, Saturn will begin to lose its power, giving a break to all those who have been feeling the weight of life’s responsibilities. We are looking at you, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius! Saturn will stay somewhat asleep until October 23.

While you might feel an authority figure blocking your energy due to the Mercury-Saturn connection as both planets switch gears, know that the work you put in now will have lasting and long-term positive consequences.
Cancer
Your eleventh house of community and friendships receives heavy action this week. If Mercury retrograde brought drama, the presence of Venus helps smooth things out. On a more introspective note, this month’s new moon sets the perfect atmosphere for you to do some deep soul-searching, Cancer. When looking back at the past year, what seems stale and outdated in your life? This powerful lunation gives you the power to begin laying the groundwork to finally say “goodbye”.

Saturn begins its retrograde in your house of partnerships, dissolving the walls that have been preventing you to connect to people.
Virgo
Mercury’s retrograde has been rough, but instead of complaining, spend some time thinking about what it has taught you, Virgo.

Scorpio
If Mercury retrograde ended some partnerships for you, don’t lose hope over it, Scorpio. Venus is now in this same part of your chart, heralding the beginning of new collaborations from now until June 21.
