Eagle Pose in Yoga Requires Flexibility, Balance, and Concentration—Here’s How to Do It

Explore the juxtaposition of flying and nesting with eagle pose.

There hasn’t been a Gemini season like this one in a long time! Exuberant Jupiter entered the sign of the twins in late May, and the sun, Venus, and Mercury will also link up in the mutable air sign in June. Curiosity, over-caffeinated conversations, and creative chaos reign supreme for your June 2024 monthly horoscope—embrace the craze!

We want to know everything about everything right now, from world events to the latest discovery in physics, all while we mainline the latest hot Hollywood gossip. We’re living in the age of air, and as such, our news feeds could be a bit overwhelming. Tearing yourself away from TikTok or Instagram could be challenging, but with Mars entering Taurus on June 8, we can return to our sensual selves when we need a break.

We’re currently living in the age of air; world events, new scientific discoveries, and cultural conversations are at the forefront.

The first week of June is rife with sextiles, making it an ideal time for embarking on new ventures—both personal and professional. Pay attention on June 4, when a Mercury-Jupiter conjunction and a Venus Cazimi in Gemini occur in tandem, thrusting the cosmos into an enchanted state. First date? Job interview? A weekend away with your besties? If you do between June 4 and June 6, when the new moon in Gemini arrives, it’s likely to feel free, easy, and even idyllic.

Between June 8 and June 20, various planets square each other, creating a challenging conversation between planetary friends and frenemies, making your relationships and career a touch tougher to navigate. It’s as if  everyone wants to get into an argument for reasons that aren’t completely clear, and with so many planets in Gemini, this aggressive energy can amp up your nervous system. Keep your favorite breathing exercises memorized and maintain a cool head.

The sun enters nurturing Cancer at the summer solstice on June 20, allowing us to get back to softer, sweeter basics: Self-care, nourishment, and nurture. The full moon in Capricorn arrives the very next day, reminding us that what we do in the world matters, but we must first listen to our inner self with tenderness in order to be successful in making lasting change. School is officially out for summer, and as Saturn stations retrograde on June 29, it’s a reminder that we can all stand to slow down a bit—by the beach or a pool, preferably!

This June, success starts to slide into your life like a pot of gold at the end of a double-rainbow, Taurus. After planting seeds in your own stars for the last 12 months, Jupiter is now in your money zone.

This bold planet meets up with Mercury on June 4, suggesting that you put your big plans into writing, or at least talk about them; no more tucking those dreams away in a lockbox, Taurus. On the very same day, your planetary ruler Venus joins forces with the sun, amplifying your ability to resource yourself—and possibly indulge in something luxe.

June 4 through June 6 are stellar days for you, and there’s a big bonus in store if your birthday falls around this time.

Career and money:

Saturn remains in your career zone putting serious emphasis on success—the kind that you’re willing to work slow and hard for. Yet, when your ruler Mercury squares Saturn mid-month, your hike to the top of the mountain (i.e., corner office) might feel like it’s hitting a snag. It’s temporary, though—don’t sweat it. On June 17, Mercury moves into your money zone, slating you for good cash flow.

Cancer

June is super dreamy for you, Cancer. For the first three weeks of the month, the stack of planets in your house of secrets might have you craving a yoga or meditation retreat. (Psst: Yes, it’s more than okay to seek out quiet spaces, even if your besties invite you to all-night ragers.) If you’d rather stay in and binge Bridgerton this month, don’t feel a shred of guilt—it’s what your spirit needs.

After Cancer season arrives on the summer solstice, you’ll be so steeped in self-care that you’ll be beyond ready to come out and play. Start celebrating your birthday, stat: Don’t let that reset glow go to waste!

A WFH schedule may be better for you during the first few weeks of the month, as you’re in hermit mode thanks to a plethora of planets in your psyche sector. If you can arrange it, this is the best time of the year for you to plan a staycation. If you can’t make that happen, make sure you’re able to take plenty of breaks; grab at least one long weekend for yourself and have your therapist (or bestie) on speed dial in case you need a pep talk.

Love and relationships:

The full moon lands in your relationship zone on June 21st, reminding you to prioritize your partnerships, giving you space to romantically course-correct—whether you’re single, in a situationship, or in a long-term relationship.

This is especially the case during the period between the Venus Cazimi on June 4 and the new moon in your eleventh house on June 6.

Love and relationships:

With a gorgeous Venus Cazimi in your social zone on June 4, you’re feeling fierce and fabulous.

Virgo

Your professional glow-up starts now, Virgo. With a pile of planets in your status sector this June, you might be a bit obsessed with your next big professional move—and it’s not likely to be lateral.

Your planetary ruler Mercury is conjunct lucky Jupiter on June 4. This is one of the best days of the year to make wishes, plant seeds, and manifest magic.

Career and money:

Your planetary ruler Mars spends its last stretch in your work zone, marking the first part of June with a potentially heavy stress imprint.

Love and relationships:

Mars charges into your relationship sector on June 9, firing up your will (and possibly your temper) with lovers and long-term partners.

June could be your busiest month yet in 2024, Capricorn. With planets stacking up in your sixth house of work and everyday ritual, you’ve got a long to-do list at work and at home, but you’re managing to stay on top of it like a boss, because of course you would.

You just can’t stop falling in love, Capricorn—even when it’s not practical!

With a gang of planets in this part of your chart as the month begins, plus a Mercury-Jupiter conjunction and a Venus Cazimi on June 4, you’re not just thinking about romance right now, but rather love as a lived experience. If you have specific requests from the universe on this topic, set intentions near the new moon on June 6, aiming them at the next six months of your life. Things get pretty deep as the full moon lands in your house of dreams and retreat on June 21, making the summer solstice and surrounding days perfect for a little vacay.

Career and money:

Work starts picking up big-time momentum after Venus and Mercury enter your scheduling sector on June 17.

After the sun enters this part of your chart on June 21, you might be in extremely high demand.

Love and relationships:

The honeymoon phase extends through June, even if you’ve been with your partner for years. With a plethora of planets in your sister air sign Gemini, you’re steeped in romance and the getting is good, whether you’re single or involved. This is the time to get back on the dating apps or out on the town if you’re hoping for a connection—whether that’s a hookup or a life-long bond.

Career and money:

WFH is your favored mode this month, Pisces. Mars fires up your money zone through June 9, keeping that cash stash flowing (or at least keeping you busy trying to attract new sources of income). After Venus and the sun head into your creativity zone on June 17 and June 21 respectively, you could have some pretty brilliant entrepreneurial ideas, so be ready to jot them down.

Love and relationships:

After planets begin moving into Cancer on June 17, your love and pleasure zone gets sweeter and sweeter.
