Tending the Garden of You

1-7 JUNE 2025
The first week of June carries us gently but powerfully into a brand-new lunar cycle, and perhaps a whole new season of soul evolution. We’re emerging from the Gemini New Moon on May 26, with fresh winds of change in how we think, speak, and connect. This is not surface-level Gemini. This is transformational Gemini, underpinned by the depth and truth-seeking power of Pluto, the heart-healing of Chiron, and the moral compass of Haumea.
In June we are being asked, actually told, to live in alignment with our core values, to speak truthfully, love authentically, and rise to the challenge of becoming who we say we are.
Luckily the energy is progressive this month and this week begins with a soft exhale to start this next journey. After May’s emotional intensity, this week whispers: slow down, come home, tend to what truly matters. Think of it as the sacred ground of preparation before the big cosmic shifts that arrive mid-month, the Universe is handing you a spade and saying, start again, but start with the roots, please.
The energy has been hardcore we have been tried and tested by that old headmaster. I could say it has been Satanistic at times. But we have just had some big lessons that's all and now finally we are able to move to a different classroom and grab some fresh air on the way. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger right??
As I write this forecast it feels disjointed, like I need to keep correcting and changing it. That feels a bit like the energy of late too. When it's like this all we need to do is surrender a little more and trust. So please come back to basics when you need to, come back to your breath, and slowly slowly let's move into the new June vibe.
Use this week as a gentle reflection, beautify your environment, and align with simplicity. Let love, comfort, and presence be your prayer. Rest when you need to.
🌟 June's Core Themes
✧ Home, Security & Belonging - we’re being guided to deepen our roots and redefine what “safety” and “home” truly mean.
✧ Emotional Rebirth & Healing the Past We are being asked to soften old stories and reconnect with our intuition. Early June prepares us for this shedding.
✧ Beauty, Body & Pleasure – we are invited to ground, beautify, and indulge in slow, nourishing rituals that awaken our senses and restore our nervous system.
✧ Foundations Before Expansion we are called to realistic dreams and steady planning. This first week is your moment to gently align your inner and outer worlds before the big waves arrive.
🪐 Soul Invitations for the Week
Clear mental clutter before we enter emotional waters. Reflect, write, clear inboxes, and say what needs to be said.
Begin creating space for deeper nesting and nourishment. What in your environment no longer reflects who you are becoming?
Ground into pleasure as a form of power. Ask: What brings me alive in my body? How can I give myself more of it?

Journal Prompts
Where am I being called to return to softness?
What kind of “home” am I building—inside myself and around me?
What would it feel like to truly trust the pace of my own becoming?
✨ Affirmation of the Week
"I honor the sacred timing of my life. I tend to my inner garden with care, beauty, and grace."
This week, life may feel like a gentle pause a quiet breath before June’s deeper waves arrive. Please know, You are not behind. You are exactly where you need to be. Let go of rushing. Let the flowers bloom at their own pace. Tend to your roots, your rituals, your rest. This is how your next expansion will rise not from pressure, but from deep, embodied presence. This is a quiet kind of powerful week. A becoming week. You’re not who you were, and you’re not quite yet who you’re becoming. But right here — in the stillness, in the softness — you are enough.
The stars are not pushing you. They are holding you. And they are reminding you that the truth doesn’t need to be loud to be heard. Let yourself bloom at your own pace. Let beauty guide the way home.
Love you,
Sarah
