**This Week, Let Gemini Guide You Into the Unknown**

It’s that time again! Welcome to the latest edition of your Queer Weekly Horoscope — a quick and insightful read that breaks down the week ahead by zodiac sign.

Big things are happening this week! Starting with June 5, Mercury in Gemini forms a sextile with Mars in Leo. This stellar alignment gifts us not just some serious communication skills, but also the encouraging courage to dive headfirst into the unknown. A lot of folks I’ve chatted with seem to be reaching their limit with uncertainty. Just a gentle reminder: the unknown doesn’t have to be scary! It can be an exciting space filled with creativity and endless curiosity.

On June 6, we see Venus make its entrance into Taurus, lingering there until July 4. This is noteworthy since it’s the first time Venus is changing signs since the beginning of January 2025. Typically, Venus holds court in a single sign for about three weeks when she’s direct — but the recent retrograde funk things up, and we’re finally moving forward in our relationships! If we can channel Taurus vibes, that means embracing our values, showing gratitude, honouring our commitments, and letting others know they matter even when everything feels so shaky.

Then, just a day later on June 8, Mercury transports itself into Cancer, staying there until June 26. This influx of Cancer energy will meld into a bigger cosmic picture as Jupiter also makes a move into Cancer next week, where it will remain until July 2026. This means, while Mercury is chilling in Cancer, it’s prime time to enhance our emotional intelligence! I’m really into the work of Dr. Susan David, who preaches emotional granularity — basically the more precisely we label our feelings, the healthier and more aligned we become. A richer emotional vocabulary can lead to stronger connections in both our inner and outer lives.

Here’s a rundown for each zodiac sign this week:

**Aries**

Remember, we dictate the changes in our lives. Then, Venus enters your financial zone, enhancing your knowledge about money and attracting opportunities that align with who you’re growing into.
