Forecast for June: Page of Cups
The tarot card for June is the Page of Cups. In tarot, the court cards serve as sign posts for personal development, and the suit of Cups is tied to the emotional and intuitive realms. The forecast for the month is a gentle, uplifting one.
The Page of Cups stands with one hand on hip and the other holding a golden chalice. From the cup, a small blue fish emerges — an image rich with symbolism. It suggests a sudden insight, a spark of creativity, or an intuitive whisper from within.
While 2025 has presented its share of challenges, June brings a shift: a softening, a lightening of spirit. We’re invited to fall in love with life again.
In Buddhism, there are no "good" or "bad" emotions — only experiences to be witnessed. We may have our preferences, but what if we welcomed every feeling with openness? What if we treated each emotion as a sacred messenger, or at least softened in its presence?
The 13th-century Sufi poet Rumi observed:
This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice—meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
June calls for loving care — of ourselves, our people, our animals, our spaces. Both the tarot and astrology support the emergence of new tenderness and the practice of working with our emotions as trusted allies.
Channel a bit of Gen Z’s "little treat culture" and make it a ritual: delight yourself daily with a small joy, just because. Maybe buy yourself flowers...
