Welcome to Decoroscopes, ELLE Decor’s monthly astrology column. Each month, we tap into the cosmic forecast to guide your home design decisions, from major renovations to subtle refreshes. Whether you’re considering a bold paint color or debating a furniture upgrade, let the stars be your guide.
It’s June, and the cosmic energy is shifting from Gemini into Cancer’s cozy embrace, and it’s asking the hard questions: Do you actually live in your home, or are you just visiting it between obligations?
Venus glides into Taurus on June 6, bringing a much needed reality check about quality versus quantity. That impulse to buy three mediocre throw pillows instead of one gorgeous, high-quality one needs to go. Jupiter’s entrance into Cancer on June 9 marks the beginning of a year-long focus on creating spaces that actually nurture your soul and prioritize comfort.
The full moon in Sagittarius on June 11 illuminates the tension between your desire for freedom and your need for sanctuary, while Mercury’s move into Cancer on June 8 deepens our collective craving for spaces that feel like home. When Mars enters Virgo on June 17, you’ll finally have the energy to tackle any unfinished projects that have been silently judging you from every corner.
Bottom line: June is about creating homes that work for your real life, not your aspirational one. Time to get honest about what you actually need. Here’s your June Decoroscope.
Aries
I say this lovingly, Aries: June’s energy is asking you to slow down and actually finish something for once. That half-completed gallery wall has been mocking you for months—commit to the vision or start fresh. This month favors creating one perfect space over attempting to redo your entire surroundings. Focus on your bedroom especially: Invest in blackout curtains that actually block light and a mattress that doesn’t leave you feeling like you’ve been in battle. Your rapid-fire lifestyle needs a home base that can keep up with your energy while offering genuine restoration. Quality over speed is your new mantra.
Taurus
Design Within Reach
With Venus gracing your sign starting June 6, you’re finally ready to stop “saving for later” and invest in the pieces that give you joy. But you shouldn’t accumulate more beautiful things—curate what you already have. The collection of vintage ceramics deserves proper display, not storage in boxes. Your home should feel abundant without feeling cluttered, luxurious without being overwhelming. Sometimes the most indulgent thing you can do is create space to breathe.
Gemini
Happy birthday, Gemini! With Mercury dancing through your sign early this month before settling into Cancer on June 8, your home should accommodate your need for emotional comfort. Modular furniture is your friend: ottomans that double as storage, expandable dining tables, and bookshelves that can be reconfigured on a whim. As the month progresses, soften sharp edges with flowing fabrics and curved furniture that invites deeper, more meaningful conversations. Focus on creating one anchor space that remains constant while everything else flows around it.
Cancer
June is a great month for you with both Mercury and Jupiter entering your sign, and your home will likely be the heart of everyone’s social life. But let’s first address the problem: You’ve been so focused on making others comfortable that you’ve forgotten what makes you feel at home. That guest room is better appointed than your own bedroom, isn’t it? This month, prioritize your own comfort first. Decorate your kitchen in a way that makes you want to cook for yourself, not just others. Your nurturing nature is beautiful, but it shouldn’t come at the expense of your own sanctuary.
Leo
The cosmic spotlight might not be directly on you this month, Leo, but that doesn’t mean your home can’t shine. Channel the grounding energy of Venus in Taurus by investing in statement lighting, like dramatic chandeliers, sculptural table lamps, or outdoor lights for summer entertaining. With Mars entering practical Virgo mid-month, organize your creative spaces and display your treasures in ways that really showcase their beauty. Don’t apologize for taking up space.
Virgo
Mars enters your sign on June 17, and it encourages you to create systems that support your daily rituals and long-term goals. Focus on your workspace and create an environment that supports both productivity and well-being. Clean lines, natural materials, and plants that purify the air will help keep you grounded and focused. Venus entering Taurus this month wants you to find the sweet spot between beauty and livability.
Libra
With Venus ruling your sign and entering Taurus this month, the tension between your aesthetic ideals and practical needs are highlighted. Challenge yourself to find beauty in functionality, and invest in pieces that are both pretty and livable. Create harmony through symmetry, but don’t be afraid to mix high and low, old and new. This is the perfect time to invest in art that speaks to your soul—whether vintage finds from local markets or contemporary pieces from a new artist. Pay special attention to your entryway, which sets the tone.
Scorpio
The emotional depth of this cosmic season calls for creating spaces that honor your need for privacy and transformation, but you sometimes have a tendency to build a fortress designed to keep the world out. Instead, your space should support both your social self and your solitary soul. It should have layers—public spaces that welcome others and private spaces that are entirely yours. Focus on your bedroom and bathroom—these intimate spaces should feel like calming retreats where you can shed the day’s energy and reconnect with yourself.
Sagittarius
The full moon in your sign on June 11 is illuminating the gap between your wanderlust and your need for a true home base, Sagittarius. You may have been treating your home like a glorified storage unit for souvenirs and half-finished projects. This month, channel any restless energy into creating a space that actually works for your lifestyle instead of against it.
Capricorn
Saturn’s influence reminds you that the best investments appreciate over time, but this month’s energy asks you to consider emotional value alongside financial returns. That antique desk might be a smart purchase, but only if you’ll actually use it for more than display. Invest in pieces that make you feel emotionally rich, and add personal touches that remind you why you work so hard in the first place.
Aquarius
June’s planetary shifts are revealing an uncomfortable truth, Aquarius: You’ve been using your home as a shield against intimacy. Deliberately unconventional arrangements may be working a little too well at keeping people at arm’s length. This month, Venus in Taurus is asking you to create spaces that actually invite people in. Your challenge isn’t to abandon your distinctive style—just to make it more welcoming.
Pisces
With all this water sign energy flowing through June, your intuitive instincts are especially sharp. But this month asks you to ground those dreamy visions into practical reality. That flowing, ethereal aesthetic you love needs some structure to anchor it all. Trust your instincts about color and texture, but make sure your vision can handle the messiness of actual creative work.
