June 2018 Horoscopes: What the Stars Have in Store for Your Love Life and Career

The Good: Your charisma and extroversion will be on overdrive during the first half of the month, allowing you to easily win friends and influence people, especially if you are travelling. Pamper your sweetie with gifts and getaways on June 1, 2, 19 or 20 – it will bring you closer, allowing you to share moments of profound tenderness.

The Challenging: You may find it hard to concentrate at work, as all you really want is to be out and about; try to stay focused on your duties early in the month, or you could make silly mistakes that affect the task at hand. The temptation to spend more than you make will be strong, so resist charging things on credit or building up debt.

The Takeaway: Money can buy you love, but just be careful not to break the bank.

The Good: Romantic opportunities abound for both singles and couples. If you are in a relationship, take a short trip or try something new on June 1, 2, 19 and 20. These are also exceptional date nights for singles, especially if you are travelling or seeing someone outside your own culture.

The Challenging: You may feel like holing up at home during the first half of the month; don't feel guilty if you need a little pampering me-time. Power struggles may ensue with a partner on the 5th, 15th, and 23rd, especially if you use manipulation and sneakiness to get what you want.

The Takeaway: Cupid is a straight shooter when it comes to love; to win your sweetie's heart, you should be, too.

The Good: After a period of being focused on absolutely everything except romance, your attention turns back to cultivating love and togetherness. Mars is spending an extra-long time in your committed partnership sector this summer and autumn, allowing couples to rekindle their spark, and singles to find someone to settle down with. Reach out to the one who got away after the 26th.

The Challenging: Money preoccupations may be holding you back from socializing, but if you are all work and duty, you may become totally burnt out. Learn how to budget time and money.

The Takeaway: Seek out new love through existing friendship networks during the first half of the month.

The Good: You will be able to overcome any feelings of inherent shyness to woo friends and lovers to your side. Schedule date nights and social get-togethers on the 1, 2, 19 or 20, as you will have no problems striking up a vivid conversation on these days.

The Challenging: While you are filled with ideas and élan at the workplace, your lover may grow jealous of the time you are spending at your desk, instead of in your bed. Keep your nose to the grindstone, as this career enthusiasm will subside naturally mid-month.

The Takeaway: This is your month to work it – not just at the office, but with friends and in love.

The Good: Your negotiating skills will be at the top of your game, making this an excellent month to hustle for a promotion or a raise. Your creativity and charm will impress those around you, making it easier to attract more money into your wallet. Sexy Mars is also firing up your romantic life all month, while socializing is highlighted during the second half of June.

The Challenging: School exams or travel could leave you exhausted during the first half of the month, but soldier on, as this energy will soon recede.

The Takeaway: Love, money and good times – what more could you want?

The Good: Your overpowering charisma will help you attract your very own fairytale prince or princess, sending your spirit soaring on the wings of love. Two Grand Trines in the water signs on the 1, 2, 19 and 20 promise romance, especially if you look outside your usual haunts. Dare to date someone intellectually different to you in order to widen your horizons.

The Challenging: Laziness could cause minor tiffs at the workplace during the second half of June; make sure to keep up with your responsibilities and don't let others unload their extra work on you.

The Takeaway: Even when love is sweeping you off your feet, why are you picking fights? Chill out and enjoy.

The Good: This is an excellent month to get organized and clear out piled up work tasks. Pick up the phone or take to email to get caught up on all your communications. This is also an excellent time to promote yourself, look for new work, and send out manuscripts. After a hard day's work, spend quality time with your sweetie, instead of pushing yourself to socialize in a group.

The Challenging: You and your romantic partner could have differing opinions over how to run a household. If you are in the planning stages of moving in together, put off any major decisions until after the 20th.

The Takeaway: While you and your lover may have differing opinions, if you engage in open, honest communication, all will be well.

The Good: No need to escape into the couple bubble this June, as the astro energies are coaxing you both to get out and mingle with your friends. You will be a master of peacemaking and good conversation, allowing all those you care about to get along and grow close.

The Challenging: You and your romantic partner may be jostling for control throughout the month, but no worries, no matter how much they try to outfox you, you will be one step ahead.

The Takeaway: Your lover can never outwit the supreme master of manipulation – you!

The Good: With Mars in your sign you are revved up and ready for passion and adventure. This is not a time to be a shrinking violet, but to muster up all your courage and confidence to go after your dreams. Your gung-ho spirit won't go unnoticed by the lovelies you are trying to seduce, so don't be shy and flirt up a storm.

The Challenging: Economic insecurity may leave feeling unworthy of love during the first half of the month. Real connection has no price, so why sell yourself short?

The Takeaway: Remember that all goals require hard work and time – so never surrender until you reach your objective!

The Good: With lovey Venus, the dynamic Sun and cunning Mercury in your romance sector, June offers many opportunities to woo new love to your side. You will be in top seductive form, so make any excuse you can to get close to the object of your affection. Those already in a couple can grow especially attached, so schedule quality time for each other.

The Challenging: Home issues may be making you feel moody and insecure during the first half of the month. While love is on your side this June, if you are getting it through cheating, people in your social network may not have such warm vibes for you.

The Takeaway: If you are going to be shady, do so in the darkest, most faraway places possible, so you don't get caught.

The Good: If you have been buried in work and haven't had time to nurture your social life, the first half of the month is an excellent time to reach out and get in contact with long lost friends. Spending time with family and improving your domestic environment will also do much to replenish your batteries.

The Challenging: As much as you feel like doing nothing more than chilling out at home, make sure to mingle as much as possible, because after the 26th, your neglected pals won't be in the mood to forgive and forget.

The Takeaway: You can have thrills and chills in equal measure.

The Good: Your mind is on money and career during the first half of the month. Use this time to seek out new employment opportunities and negotiate contracts to your advantage. If your heart is set on wooing a member of your social scene, make your moves on June 1, 2, 19 or 20.

The Challenging: You will be up to party, but make sure you do so on a budget, or you could squander your savings on fleeting superficialities. Petty squabbles could bubble up around the home throughout the latter part of the month; try not to get sucked into drama.

The Takeaway: Focus on making money, not spending it.
