Your Weekly Horoscopes: June 11 to 17, 2023

It’s back to the drawing board for you this week, Aries. Though you thought you had everything set up for the big meeting (or your sister’s surprise birthday or your quick road trip with your boyfriend), you get some last-minute information that changes everything. Try to remain calm instead of scrambling to the finish line. The less you try to control, the more this unfolds into a win.

This week’s mantra: “Patience.”

It’s time to get back in control of your own resources, Taurus. This spring has been all about learning to appreciate your own inner beauty and developing some even more expensive tastes for clothes and beauty products along the way! Now the challenge is to budget better and to have your spending support your long-term goals and dreams.

This week’s mantra: "Delicate.”

You’ve been on a literal or figurative meditation retreat since April 3 when Mercury entered your unconscious sector for a very extended stay. But on the 11th, Mercury enters your sign and you get to reacquaint yourself with the messy reality of feeling your feelings and being in your body. Responsibilities feel heavy this week and you’re definitely feeling the urge to check out, but remember: you’ll finish faster if you remain present.

This week’s mantra: “Grounded.”

You might feel like you’re floating through life this week: keeping your video off for every Zoom call, skipping out on happy hour and putting the group chat on “Do Not Disturb.” It’s an introspective time of the year for you as your solar season approaches and you wrap up your personal year. What can you let go of to make more space to thrive?

This week’s mantra: “Release.”

Connections are everything, Leo, and as Mercury enters Gemini and your friendship sector on the 11th, you finally get back into the social groove. No one’s better than you at being the connective tissue of so many meet cutes and exciting collaborations. But being the life of the party can be a heavy responsibility and as you put yourself out there, make sure you’re not spending too much time with people who drain your energy.

This week’s mantra: “Protection.”

You’re the center of attention this week, Virgo. Compliments from your boss, recognition from your team and a sense of owning your leadership decisions all make this week feel very important. Despite the confidence boost, you’re still having difficulties with negotiating a contract or arguing with your partner. Rather than rushing to figure it out, it’s better to sit in the discomfort just a bit longer to find a satisfying agreement.

This week’s mantra: “Deal.”

It’s time to get into research mode, Libra! Whether you’re planning a big trip, looking into grad school programs or digging into your family tree, you find joy through geeking out this week. Though you may feel frustrated when the answers don’t come as quickly as your agile mind is working, the longer you wait it out, the more buried treasure you’ll find.

This week’s mantra: “Dig.”

It’s time to turn in that resignation letter, Scorpio. You’re loyal-to-a-fault and hate to be perceived as “giving up” on something (or someone), but it’s time to leave and seek something more aligned. This isn’t the time to forgo your values just to keep the peace. Your courage to do what’s best for you might even inspire a friend or coworker to do the same.

This week’s mantra: “Own.”

The planning stage is over, Sagittarius. The U-Haul is packed and you’re actually moving in with your partner this week! It’s nerve-wracking to be at the start of such a life-changing commitment, but you’ll never know how things are going to work out if you don’t try. Don’t let the arguments over little things like couch placement or closet space deflate your optimism. Working through those tough bits now will make things easier in the future.

This week’s mantra: “Compose!”

You’re so excited about your new fitness plan but if you go too hard too quickly, you might derail the entire thing. You’ve waited a long time to have this much control over your daily routine but discipline doesn’t develop overnight. Starting slow allows you to work through the problems so that you can continue for months and years to come.

This week’s mantra: “Gentle.”

You’re inspired to write this week, Aquarius. Love letters. Poetry. A storybook for your kids. You’re also more inclined to flirt, express yourself and ask for what you want. Though you might feel some twinges of self-doubt (especially around the 15th) when it comes to dating, this is a very cute week to put yourself out there. A great connection comes your way on the 17th if you’re willing to put your hat in the ring and try.

This week’s mantra: “Create.”

You’re a busy little bee around the house this week, Pisces. Whether you’re tidying up before family visits, packing for a move or preparing for the subletter, don’t run yourself ragged trying to make everything perfect. Pay attention to the literal and metaphorical doorways. What’s an entrance and what’s an exit? How can you make this into a more gentle landing?

This week’s mantra: “Arrive.”
