General Daily Insight for June 17, 2025
This is the moment to take our marching orders and get going. There is a sudden shift toward all things productive and efficient as Mars enters no-frills Virgo at 4:20 am EDT, setting us up for six weeks of energy to improve our circumstances and eliminate excess — which, in turn, banishes stressful future clutter. Meanwhile, the Moon in Pisces will sextile Venus in Taurus before trining Jupiter in Cancer, so we can still stop to breathe without worrying that we’re wasting time.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
There is no time like the present to become your best self. Blazing Mars is striding into your 6th House of Wellness for the next six weeks, where it will light a flame within you. This fire energizes you to continue forward at top speed. Let Mars animate you to start that new workout regime or improve your general health. Still, don’t push too hard — all that inner fire can lead to burnout if you don’t take care of yourself in the process.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Put all your energy into having fun! Passion planet Mars is leaping into your 5th House of Joy for a pleasure cruise unlike anything you’ve seen in quite a while. During this six-week cycle, you will be more than happy to express yourself freely and dive into any enticing opportunities that present themselves. Additionally, Mars can stimulate your mind to produce concrete results. Your efforts on any project could earn you quite a bit of positive acclaim. Plus, you can enjoy yourself the whole time!
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Things are heating up at home! It isn’t your imagination if people seem a bit on edge in your abode, or if you’re abruptly drawn to renovating or rearranging your space. It’s all due to fiery Mars moving into your homely 4th house, where it can spur action, but also set off frustration and irritation. You might experience a bit of cabin fever during this period, so make a point of getting plenty of time out of the house to avoid such unpleasantness.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Life is picking up the pace all of a sudden. Energizer Mars is bounding into your 3rd House of Local Community, making things happen that much quicker — and that much closer to home. For the next six weeks, you shouldn’t need to go too far to find exciting opportunities or meet people who bring a lot of action and energy to your life. Your mind may be especially sharp during this time, so just make sure you don’t become too pointed with anyone.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Money might seem like it really does grow on trees! Mars is entering your income sector for a six-week tour, when it’s going to light a fire that drives you to earn more than ever before. It is terrific to feel so productive and see such impressive rewards for your efforts. Contrastingly, Mars can also drive up costs. Be wary of the temptation to spend every penny before it can burn a hole in your pocket. A well-considered budget will serve you well.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
The green light means go, Virgo! It is your turn to blast off from the starting line as red-hot Mars enters your sign for the first time in two years, revving your engines and driving you to cover more ground than ever before. You will have immense energy at your disposal, certainly more than you’ve experienced in some time. Of course, that means you must avoid burning out in the process. Mars can push you in both good ways and stressful ways.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Sometimes the best course of action is not to take any action. You are entering a six-week period when allowing the universe to control things is the wisest option, thanks to energetic Mars slipping into your 12th House of Release. Mars has no interest in taking things slowly, but if you try to push during this deliberately sedate cycle, then you could wind up spinning out in circles with nothing to show for it. Conserve your energy carefully, and only expend it when absolutely necessary.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Just because you can handle life on your own doesn’t mean you should. There is a very communal energy bubbling up as Mars whirls into your 11th House of Social Networks. There are probably plenty of people in the world who want to enjoy your company! You may feel especially in-demand during this six-week cycle. That said, sometimes this can feel a bit too burdensome. Keep an eye on your social battery, or else it could fizzle out before you know it.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Start climbing that ladder and don’t stop until you reach the top! Fortunately, you’ll have all the drive and firepower necessary to make quick work of it, thanks to Mars blasting into your career sector for six weeks of major action on the professional front. You will likely find yourself a lot busier than usual, with numerous irons in the fire. Make an effort to avoid overburdening yourself with distractions. That way, you can handle the most vital responsibilities with impressive skill.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Get ready to leap over your limitations, Capricorn. Vivacious Mars is entering your 9th House of Expansion for the first time in two years, daring you to push beyond your usual boundaries and enjoy mapping unfamiliar territory. It is high time for an adventure with Mars pushing you along, so don’t be shocked if you get a sudden case of wanderlust. Distant lands and faraway opportunities are calling your name, so heed their call — you haven’t got a moment to lose!
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Friction doesn’t come from nowhere. Mars, the planet of action and passion, is hurdling into your all-or-nothing 8th house for the next six weeks. Here, that Martian fury is at risk of causing stress, but it’s also inviting delightful rewards. Either way, it’s happening in relation to your deepest social bonds. Although this transit may, at times, leave you feeling a little overwhelmed, remember that creating diamonds requires pressure. You can emerge from this cycle with a whole treasure trove of jewels!
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
It takes two to tango — and to do most other dances, as well. It doesn’t matter what kind of dance you are doing currently, but your partner, regardless of the type of connection you have, is taking on refreshed importance as Mars enters your 7th House of Commitments. The red planet will be stirring up action with your plus-ones for the next six weeks, but also potentially bringing some fascinating strangers into the mix, so prepare yourself to dance with quite a few partners.
