Eclipse season begins on Friday, June 5, 2020 (12:12 PM Pacific) with a full moon/lunar eclipse at 15Β°34β Sagittarius.
This eclipse initiates a month-long process of releasing old energy and emotions and making way for new inspiration! Ruled by expansive Jupiter, the Sag full moon highlights our need for freedom and space to broaden our own horizons and grow to our fullest potential. But with Jupiter currently retrograde and conjunct Pluto in Capricorn, forces beyond our control are restricting our range of movement.
Fortunately, Sagβs trademark optimism can help us find freedom within these imposed limitations. Jupiterβs blessings may seem scarceβ¦ if weβre looking for them βout there.β But thereβs an abundance to be found βin here,β if weβre willing to seek them out.
What does the June lunar eclipse in Sagittarius mean?
This eclipse brings exciting opportunities for learning and growth. But to receive its knowledge and wisdom, weβll have to keep our minds wide open. After all, as the sun in Gemini reminds us: No matter how much we think we know, thereβs always something new to learn. And with Venus retrograde in Gemini, weβre discovering that many of our old beliefs, interests, and values no longer hold the same meaning. The full moonβs opposition to Venus asks, what inspires us now?
Thatβs the βfunβ part of this eclipseβmore challenging is a mutable T-square, with both the moon and sun squaring Mars in Pisces. This βpressure cookerβ of an aspect can really turn up the heat on ideological differences and disputes. And with Mars conjunct Neptune, conflicts have an almost surreal quality to themβnot only do we disagree, we feel like weβre living in totally different realities!

Our best bet to defuse the tensions is leaning into the analytical, problem-solving energy of Virgo (the only mutable sign not caught up in all that T-square drama). We can tune in to the subtle nuances of the situation, rather than sweeping generalizationsβand practice what we preach instead of acting self-righteous.
Still, there is a time and place for righteous anger. And with this eclipse trine Black Moon Lilith in Aries, it might be now! In our society and within our own psyches, repressed and marginalized voices are rising up and demanding to be heard. We may be afraid of what they have to say, but ignoring or denying them wonβt make it any less true. Welcoming their wild wisdom could be our saving grace.
True, with a square between Mercury in Cancer and Chiron in Aries, buttons are being pushed and sensitivities triggered. But while our first impulse may be to react defensively, that only shuts down the potential for emotional healing. We should be gentle with each other, while also keeping communication channels open. After all, with Mercury also sextile Uranus in Taurus, we never know what unexpected insights might result!
Read on for your sun sign (and rising if you know it) to learn more about the energies of this eclipse.

Horoscopes for the June full moon lunar eclipse in Sagittarius
Sagittarius
As a student of life, Sag, relationships are your greatest teachers. But at this eclipse, the lessons are just as likely to come from past relationships as current ones. Reflecting on these people and experiences brings major realizations about who you were then⦠and who you are now.
Capricorn
Someoneβs got to be a realist, Capricorn, so it might as well be you. Still, as you avoid giving people false hope, itβs easy to go to the opposite extreme. This eclipse brings your inner optimist out of the shadows, just when itβs needed most.
Aquarius
Dust off that vision board, Aquarius! Itβs time to check the status of a long-term plan, goal, or creative project. Your ideas may seem less achievableβat least with the resources currently available to you. But donβt give up; Ask for what you need to see them through.
Pisces
Your upbringing sets you on a particular path. But now, Pisces, itβs time to answer a higher calling! This eclipse reveals new insights about your life purpose, and challenges you to release whateverβs held you back from pursuing it wholeheartedly until now.
Aries
Lifeβs a journey, Aries, not a destination. So if youβve stayed in the same place for too long (either physically or mentally), this eclipse hits you with a serious case of wanderlust! Still, right now inner explorations may be even more exciting than outer ones.
Taurus
The elephant in the room: If anyoneβs going to bring it up right now, Taurus, itβs probably you. Youβre not afraid to say what everyoneβs thinkingβ¦ even if itβs unlikely to win you any friends. Just try to keep the drama to a minimum (especially online!).
Gemini
Itβs like falling in love all over again, Gemini: Recently, youβve been rediscovering what makes you, you. But what you value most in yourself and what others see in you can be wildly different things. If they canβt handle the real you, maybe thatβs their problem.
Cancer
Your work means the world to you, Cancerβstill, sometimes you yearn for something more. And at this eclipse, you feel that stirring in your soul. Responsibilities alone arenβt enough to give meaning to life, so make sure youβre also cultivating a rich inner landscape.
Leo
To thine own self be true, Leo! At this eclipse, thereβs no holding back that larger-than-life personality of yours. Still, youβve got to adapt your distinctive style to ever-evolving norms and trends. Itβs not about selling out your values, just finding new ways of embodying them.
Virgo
Back to your roots, Virgo! This eclipse reconnects you with the memories, traditions, and family ties that nourish your soul and bring meaning to your life. But you may be surprised to realize how far youβve strayed from your sense of homeβso take this time to nurture yourself.
Libra
βFree your mind and the rest will follow.β Libra, this 90s throwback jam would make a fabulous eclipse theme song for you! Youβre clearing out mental clutter, rethinking old assumptions, and becoming more selective about which ideas and information receive your valuable energy and attention.
Scorpio
You want it bad, Scorpioβ¦ and someone wants to give it to you! The only thing standing between you and whatever βitβ is, is the crazy notion that itβll only have value if you get it for yourself. This eclipse invites you to reconsider receptivity.
