Your daily horoscopes for Friday June 30, 2023
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
Fantasy or reality? It may be hard to discern for the next five months as dreamy Neptune shifts into retrograde until December 6—doubling down on serious Saturn’s backspin through the same part of your chart from June 17 to November 4. Meditation is a must as you’ll need more time alone, or at least a retreat from the maddening pace of it all. Just don’t withdraw TOO much, Ram. Having a solid circle of supporters around you is what makes life feel rich. There may be some “necessary losses” while Neptune backstrokes until December 6. If you’re not giving up something tangible, you may be releasing a limiting belief or identity that you’ve outgrown. You may also make a sacrifice (one that’s bigger than you’d normally be comfortable with) to support a loved one who is ailing or in need. It’s a big challenge, Aries, but you possess the strength within you to take this on.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
You are judged by the company you keep, Taurus, and starting today, you’ll want to take a good look at the people surrounding you. Shadowy Neptune turns retrograde in your social-networking zone until December 6, urging you to clean house! With status-conscious Saturn already flowing back through this zone from June 17 to November 4, the mission is doubly important. You no doubt have some amazing people in your squad. But there are some questionable characters too—the hustlers who are always looking for a shortcut, the ones who take, take, take…but are never around when you need a favor in return. Instead of complaining about these energy vampires, exorcize them from your world. Friendship breakups happen, Bull. Tough as they are, they’re also liberating—clearing space for people who know the meaning of reciprocity.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
How do you define your dream job, Gemini? Neptune, the planet of fantasy, joins serious Saturn and spins backward in your house of career for the next five months. This retrograde is a time to dig deeper into your soul, determining what would make you want to leap out of bed each morning. Helpful people from your past will return, ones who have expertise in your desired field. This would be a fine time to sit at a master’s feet and learn—even if no pay is involved. Witnessing the pros in action is priceless training. If you’re already on your chosen path, Neptune retrograde nudges you to bring more meaning into your work. You can do so by amplifying your creativity, or bringing a socially responsible element into the equation. Helpful experts may also return from your past to assist with this mission. As Neptune can conceal truths, you’ll also have to do your requisite research. If an opportunity seems too good to be true, don’t be naive!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
This day won’t start out on a light note, Cancer. Soulful Neptune follows serious Saturn’s lead, turning retrograde in Pisces for five months, sending you on a vision quest between now and December 6. What is your highest purpose in this world? Where do you need to travel (or perhaps relocate) to develop your gifts? Is a course of study involved with this quest? Deep questions to ponder, Cancer, but you’re ready to take them on. You may be drawn to a summer pilgrimage, especially one that allows you to develop your inner self. As retrogrades rule the past, this may be a continuation of a pursuit you began a while ago. People from different cultures and other parts of the world are likely to be involved.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
Are you losing sight of your own center, Leo? With Neptune turning retrograde in your eighth house of intimacy and shared resources until December 6, you may need to draw back from a partnership a bit. This process may have gotten underway once Saturn shifted into reverse in this same zone on June 17 (till November 4). No matter how wonderful a passion or person may be, blending into a codependent “we” will not bring you the happiness you crave. Work on keeping healthier boundaries in place so you can merge without losing your autonomy in the process. Neptune’s backspin helps deepen your connection to spirituality or the mystical forces of the universe. You might even develop your intuitive gifts with a masterful teacher.
Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
Boundaries! Neptune turns retrograde in your relationship house for five months today, helping you figure out where your edges lie. Have you been making too many sacrifices—putting off your goals to support your sweetie’s endeavors, driving 30 minutes out of your way to meet an online prospect who is too cheap to pay for your espresso? In other words, are you being far too accommodating for your own self-respect? Enough, Virgo! As Neptune backstrokes through your partnership zone, you’ll need to find equanimity or else move on from any user-friendly relationships. And with no-nonsense Saturn reversing through this zone until November 4, the mission’s all the more pressing. Taking off the rose-colored glasses can be painful, but what’s worse is continuing to labor in delusion, hoping that someday, maybe, people will change into what you want them to be.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
Playing with your food again, are you, Libra? Healing Neptune turns retrograde in your house of well-being for five months, bringing eating habits under the microscope. From keto to Paleo to macrobiotics, you’re often the first one to hop on the latest trend bandwagon. Neptune’s backspin wants you to refine and reform, discovering the combination that works best for YOUR body. Since responsible Saturn is also retrograde here until November 4, you’re primed to put some solid practices in place. Consider getting a food allergy test to find out if you really do have a sensitivity to gluten and dairy (you might not). Check blood levels too to see if you are deficient in any vitamins. Your six-month stint as a vegan could have depleted your B12 levels. Food is fuel, so learn to love it for that purpose while enjoying your sign’s epicurean leanings. With watery Neptune in the mix, chug more H2O than ever.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
Your enigmatic allure is always spellbinding, Scorpio. But today, illusory Neptune makes a five-month U-turn in your fifth house of fame and romance, cautioning against becoming TOO much of a mystery. Since serious Saturn is also retrograde here until November 4, you’ve got a mission laid out for you: Work with a stylist, branding specialist, designer or other image consultant to strike the right balance between esoteric and exhibitionist. Face it, Scorpio: People are going to talk about you—especially since you have so many intriguing facets. Would you rather they invent tall tales or get the story straight from you? Open the book and let them read the authorized autobiography instead of the tabloids. PS: Revealing more of your authentic nature can reboot your love life. If you’re healing from a breakup, this Neptune phase can bring comfort and support.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
Family can be equal parts joy and burden for the independent Archer. You love their company but may secretly resent the responsibility that comes along with caring so much for others. Forget about flitting off like a free spirit, at least for the next five months. Today, sacrificial Neptune follows responsible Saturn’s lead and turns retrograde in your domestic zone until December 6. Someone quite dear to you (likely a female) will require more attention and support in the months ahead. Don’t resist! Nurturing this bond is beneficial to you both, Sagittarius. Step in and really be there for this person. You don’t have to put your life on hold, but you will have to scale back a few of your outside obligations in order to make room for this new commitment.

Capricorn (December 22-January 18) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
Friend, frenemy…or merely a Facebook connection? Today, hazy Neptune turns retrograde in your third house of allies, a U-turn that lasts until December 6. (Your ruler, Saturn, is already in reverse here until November 4.) During this five-month phase, you’ll need to be more discerning about the people you invite into your squad. Don’t be an elitist, Capricorn; just run the necessary background checks. Neptune is the planet of illusion, and you may uncover some less-than-savory information about a group that held much promise. Since you’re judged by the company you keep, associating with people of integrity is a must. You could even begin this sorting process today, bowing out of plans with any needy, draining or questionable characters you’ve recently met.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
Today, enchanting Neptune joins stoic Saturn and turns retrograde in your house of finances for five months. Your pot of gold may be found at the end of a familiar rainbow—like a reunion project, returning client or a new stint at an old job. On the less shiny side of things, Neptune’s backspin could temporarily dam the flow of abundance. Every “crisis” is also an opportunity, Water Bearer. Revamping your budget could be an important undertaking this week, or necessity could force you to finally learn that piece of software that will put you in a new income bracket. Neptune retrograde is a great time to study alongside a master or to develop a creative idea into a potential business. You have until December 6, so dive in.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Friday June 30
Who do you think you are…really? Your identity goes through an interesting recalibration today when your ruling planet Neptune turns retrograde in Pisces for five months—joining back-spinning Saturn there. Since retrogrades rule the past, you might even revive an old aspect of yourself or dust off a talent you shelved. (Is that trunk of ‘90s flower-print dresses still in your mom’s attic?) This retrograde can also help you regain balance. You’ve stretched immensely since Neptune entered your sign in February 2012, yet in the process, you may have thrown out the baby with the bathwater. Between now and December 6, figure out a better blend: one that incorporates the exciting new you with the enduring qualities you want to keep around from your old life.
