Cosmic beings, this week feels like standing at the intersection of every element. Mars enters Gemini on June 28th after six steady weeks in Taurus, bringing movement, curiosity, and momentum back into the collective. If Mars in Taurus taught us that meaningful progress happens one intentional step at a time, Mars in Gemini reminds us that sometimes momentum comes from simply saying yes and figuring it out along the way. Interestingly, this shift happens just one day before Mercury, Gemini’s ruling planet, stations retrograde. Rather than canceling each other out, these transits work together beautifully. Mars says, “Keep moving.” Mercury says, “Just make sure you’re moving toward something that still matters.” Think back to the goals you set at the beginning of 2026. This is an excellent six-week period to finish what you started, especially if you focus on one personal goal and one professional goal instead of scattering your energy across ten different directions.

Then, on June 29th, Mercury begins its three-week retrograde through Cancer, inviting us to revisit our emotional world with greater honesty. Conversations from the past may return. Family dynamics may ask for another look, or old memories may surface — not to trap us there, but to show us how much we’ve grown. The biggest lesson of this retrograde is not to believe every emotion in the exact moment you feel it. Cancer energy is beautifully intuitive, but when emotions become overwhelming, intuition can quickly turn into projection. If you find yourself overthinking, becoming passive-aggressive, or taking things more personally than usual, let your body help your mind catch up. Go for a walk, stretch, journal, swim, or meditate.

That same day, the Capricorn Full Moon offers a grounding counterbalance. While Mars energizes the Air element and Mercury retrograde deepens the Water element, this Full Moon reminds us to stay rooted in reality. Something you’ve been building over the past six months is reaching a meaningful milestone, especially if you’ve remained patient and consistent. Celebrate your progress before immediately chasing the next goal. Sometimes acknowledging how far you’ve come is exactly what gives you the confidence to keep going.

The week closes with one of the biggest astrological milestones of the year: Jupiter enters Leo on June 30th for the first time in over a decade. Jupiter’s year in Cancer expanded our emotional intelligence, intuition, and capacity to nurture ourselves and the people we love. Now Jupiter in Leo asks us to express those lessons with courage. Over the next thirteen months, we’ll all be encouraged to lead more boldly, create more fearlessly, and stop hiding the gifts we’ve spent years developing. Mercury retrograde means July begins as more of a warm-up than a sprint, but that’s a gift in disguise. Stretch the muscles. Refine the vision. By the time Mercury stations direct later in July, you’ll be ready to step into this new era with both confidence and clarity.

Aries Sun & Rising:

Aries, June refuses to let you coast into July. As your ruling planet, Mars, enters Gemini this week, your mind speeds up and your creativity comes back online. If you’ve been sitting on a writing project, creative idea, newsletter, or conversation you’ve been meaning to have, the next six weeks are your green light. At the same time, Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer, bringing your attention back to home, family, and your emotional foundation. Old family dynamics or unfinished conversations may need your attention, but don’t let temporary distractions convince you you’ve lost your momentum. You’re building something bigger than this moment, and it’s worth protecting your focus while still tending to what matters at home.

The week ends with two major milestones. On the 29th, the Capricorn Full Moon illuminates your career sector, bringing a culmination, promotion, launch, celebration, or realization about the direction you’re heading professionally. Give yourself permission to acknowledge how far you’ve come before immediately chasing the next goal. Then, on June 30th, Jupiter enters Leo for the first time in over a decade, activating your sector of creativity, visibility, romance, and joyful self-expression for the next thirteen months. If the Full Moon is the graduation ceremony, Jupiter in Leo is the acceptance letter to your next adventure. The spotlight finds you naturally now. Your only job is to keep showing up as the version of yourself you’ve spent the past few years becoming.

Taurus Sun & Rising:

Taurus, the week begins with Mars leaving your sign after six weeks of reminding you what it feels like to truly show up for yourself. Chances are you’ve learned a lot about your body, your confidence, your boundaries, and the kind of life you actually want to build. Now Mars enters Gemini, activating your money and self-worth sector for the next six weeks. You’re being encouraged to think beyond your usual approach to making money and recognize that abundance doesn’t have to come from just one predictable path. Meanwhile, Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer, slowing down your communication sector. Conversations from the past may resurface, old friends might pop back into your inbox, or you may simply catch yourself replaying interactions more than usual. Use this retrograde as a chance to reflect without getting so caught up in your thoughts that you stop taking action altogether.

The Capricorn Full Moon on the 29th illuminates your expansion sector, making the end of June feel like a well-earned milestone. A course of study, travel plans, entrepreneurial leap, or long-term vision you’ve been working toward over the past six months may finally begin coming together. Give yourself credit for every uncomfortable step that brought you here. Then, on June 30th, Jupiter enters Leo, beginning a thirteen-month chapter centered around home, family, roots, and emotional security. There’s beautiful potential to build a life that feels deeply nourishing, but it’ll ask you to loosen your grip on needing things to unfold exactly your way. The more you’re willing to create peace instead of power struggles, the more this Jupiter transit can become one of the most rewarding foundations you’ve built in years.

Gemini Sun & Rising:

Gemini, your season may be over, but the momentum is just getting started. Mars enters your sign this week, kicking off a six-week period of increased confidence, courage, and initiative. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to pitch the idea, start the project, send the email, or simply put yourself out there, this transit gives you the nudge you’ve been looking for. Just one day later, though, Mercury, your ruling planet, stations retrograde in Cancer and your money sector. Before saying yes to every opportunity, take time to review your budget, pricing, contracts, and relationship with self-worth. Mars wants you to move; Mercury wants you to move with intention. Those two energies can work beautifully together if you let reflection sharpen your next decision rather than stop it altogether.

The week ends on an exciting note. The Capricorn Full Moon illuminates your sector of transformation, shared resources, and long-term investments on June 29th, bringing a six-month chapter to a meaningful turning point. A financial milestone, debt payoff, business partnership, or emotional breakthrough may remind you just how much you’ve grown since the start of the year. Then, on June 30th, Jupiter enters Leo, activating your communication, creativity, and learning sector for the next thirteen months. Your words carry more weight now. Whether you’re writing, teaching, creating content, speaking, or building a brand, this is one of the luckiest periods in over a decade to let your voice reach farther than ever before.

Cancer Sun & Rising:

Cancer, you’ve officially entered one of the most meaningful stretches of the year. Mars has left your friendship sector and entered Gemini, slowing the pace externally while increasing the activity behind the scenes. Over the next six weeks, you’ll accomplish more by protecting your energy than by constantly being available. At the same time, Mercury stations retrograde in your sign on the 29th, making this a deeply personal review of your identity, your priorities, and the story you’ve been telling yourself about who you’re becoming. If you’ve been running on autopilot, this retrograde gives you permission to pause long enough to hear your own intuition again. Some of your biggest breakthroughs this month won’t happen in public… they’ll happen in the quiet moments when you finally admit what you really want.

The Capricorn Full Moon shines a light on your relationship sector, bringing clarity, commitment, or closure to an important partnership that’s been evolving over the past six months. Whether it’s romantic, professional, or deeply personal, the dynamic is asking for honesty and emotional maturity. Then, on June 30th, Jupiter begins its thirteen-month journey through Leo, activating your money and self-worth sector. This is one of the luckiest financial cycles you’ve experienced in over a decade, but it also asks you to stop undervaluing your gifts. Charge what your work is worth, invest in the skills that expand your confidence, and remember that abundance tends to grow wherever you consistently choose yourself.

Leo Sun & Rising:

Leo, the energy changes fast this week, and you’re one of the zodiac signs who will feel it most. Mars enters Gemini, activating your friendship, community, and long-term vision sector for the next six weeks. Suddenly, the right introductions, collaborations, and conversations have the power to open doors you couldn’t have forced open on your own. At the same time, Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer, encouraging you to be more selective with your energy. You don’t need to attend every event, answer every text immediately, or constantly be “on.” Some of your best ideas will arrive when you’re unplugged, well-rested, and giving yourself enough space to hear your own thoughts. Protect your peace without disappearing from opportunities that genuinely excite you.

Then on the 29th, the Capricorn Full Moon brings a meaningful milestone in your work, routines, or health. You may complete a project, establish a healthier rhythm, or finally recognize that the little habits you’ve been building over the past six months are paying off. Then comes the headline of the week: on June 30th, Jupiter enters your sign for the first time in over a decade! This thirteen-month chapter is about expansion, visibility, confidence, and allowing yourself to take up space without apologizing for it. Life’s about to ask more of you because you’re capable of more than you were twelve years ago. Let yourself be seen, but remember that the brightest glow comes from staying connected to who you are, not from constantly chasing applause.

Virgo Sun & Rising:

Virgo, this week’s astrology asks you to balance ambition with perspective. Mars enters Gemini, energizing your career and legacy sector for the next six weeks, making this an excellent time to pitch yourself, apply for opportunities, take on more leadership, or finally move forward with a professional goal that’s been sitting on your to-do list. Just remember that Mercury, your ruling planet, stations retrograde in Cancer one day later, activating your friendship and community sector. A former collaborator could circle back, an old opportunity may resurface, or you might realize that the people around you have a bigger impact on your motivation than you initially thought. Reconnect with the relationships that genuinely inspire you instead of feeling obligated to maintain every connection equally.

Then on the 29th the Capricorn Full Moon illuminates your sector of creativity, romance, and inner child healing, bringing a six-month chapter to a beautiful turning point. A creative project may be ready to launch, a relationship could deepen, or you may simply remember what it feels like to create because it brings you joy, not because it’s productive. Then, on June 30th, Jupiter enters Leo, beginning a thirteen-month journey through your spirituality and healing sector. While the world may seem louder around you, your greatest luck will come from protecting moments of solitude, trusting your intuition, and giving yourself permission to grow behind the scenes before making your next big reveal.

Libra Sun & Rising:

Libra, this week reminds you that growth doesn’t always happen close to home. Mars enters Gemini, activating your expansion, travel, publishing, and higher learning sector for the next six weeks, making you eager to say yes to experiences that stretch your perspective. Whether that’s booking a trip, applying for a program, launching something internationally, or finally sharing an idea you’ve been sitting on, momentum is building. At the same time, Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer, asking you to revisit your career goals and long-term vision. A previous professional opportunity may resurface, or you might realize that the definition of success you had six months ago no longer fits who you’re becoming. Give yourself permission to edit the plan instead of clinging to it.

The Capricorn Full Moon illuminates your home and family sector on June 29th, bringing a meaningful culmination around your living situation, emotional foundation, or family dynamics. Something you’ve been working through behind the scenes over the past six months is ready to reach a turning point, giving you a stronger sense of stability as you move forward. Then, on June 30th, Jupiter enters Leo, beginning a thirteen-month chapter of growth through friendships, community, collaboration, and long-term dreams. The people entering your life now aren’t here by accident. Stay open to unexpected introductions, join rooms that challenge you to think bigger, and remember that your next breakthrough is just as likely to come through your network as through your own efforts.

Scorpio Sun & Rising:

Scorpio, you’re entering one of those weeks where the biggest breakthroughs happen beneath the surface first. Mars enters Gemini, activating your sector of transformation, intimacy, and long-term wealth for the next six weeks. This is a powerful time to renegotiate a contract, pay down debt, invest more intentionally, or have the honest conversations you’ve been avoiding around money or emotional vulnerability. Then Mercury stations retrograde in fellow Water sign Cancer, asking you to revisit your beliefs about what’s possible. You may find yourself returning to an old travel dream, educational goal, business vision, or spiritual practice that still feels deeply aligned. Don’t dismiss it just because it isn’t brand new. Sometimes Mercury retrograde reminds you that your future has been quietly calling your name for a while.

The Capricorn Full Moon lights up your communication sector on the 29th, bringing clarity to a conversation, writing project, teaching opportunity, or decision that’s been unfolding over the past six months. You’ll likely notice that you’re expressing yourself with far more confidence than you were at the beginning of the year. Then, on June 30th, Jupiter enters Leo, launching a thirteen-month cycle of career growth, visibility, and leadership. This is one of the biggest professional transits you’ve experienced in over a decade. Recognition tends to find the people who have consistently shown up for their craft, and you’ve been laying that foundation for a long time. Don’t shrink yourself when bigger opportunities arrive. Your next level will ask you to lead with both confidence and integrity.

Sagittarius Sun & Rising:

Sag, your ruling planet is about to begin one of its biggest chapters in over a decade, and you can already feel the buildup. But first, Mars enters Gemini, activating your relationship sector for the next six weeks and bringing more momentum to your closest one-on-one connections. New collaborators, romantic interests, or business partners may enter your orbit, while existing relationships ask for more honesty and initiative. Then Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer, shifting your attention toward trust, intimacy, and shared resources. Financial agreements, investments, inheritances, or conversations about emotional vulnerability may need another look. Don’t rush to solve everything immediately. Sometimes the strongest relationships are built by giving important conversations enough time to unfold.

On the 29th the Capricorn Full Moon illuminates your money and self-worth sector, marking a rewarding milestone around something you’ve been building over the past six months. You may receive recognition, hit a financial goal, or simply realize you’ve become far more confident about what your time, talent, and energy are worth. Then, on June 30th, your ruling planet Jupiter enters fellow Fire sign Leo, kicking off a thirteen-month cycle of expansion through travel, entrepreneurship, publishing, higher education, and bold new adventures. If life has felt like it’s been asking you to play small lately, that chapter’s ending. The next year is about saying yes to experiences that make your world bigger while trusting that you’re more prepared than you think.

Capricorn Sun & Rising:

Capricorn, there’s something refreshing about this week’s energy because it reminds you that you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. Mars enters Gemini, energizing your work, wellness, and daily routine sector for the next six weeks, making this an excellent time to streamline your schedule, delegate where you can, and build systems that actually support the life you’re trying to create. Then Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer, bringing your relationships into focus. A conversation with a partner, client, close friend, or even an ex could resurface, giving you the opportunity to approach the situation with greater maturity than you would have six months ago. Listen carefully before jumping into problem-solving mode. Sometimes people simply want to feel understood before they feel advised.

The Capricorn Full Moon lands in your sign, making you one of the main characters of the week. A personal goal, identity shift, or milestone you’ve been working toward since the beginning of the year reaches a meaningful culmination, and you’re finally able to appreciate how much you’ve grown. Then, on June 30th, Jupiter enters Leo, beginning a thirteen-month cycle of transformation, intimacy, shared wealth, and emotional depth. This transit has the potential to bring greater financial support, stronger partnerships, and profound inner healing, but it asks you to let people in a little more than you’re used to. Your next level won’t be built entirely on self-reliance. Some of your greatest blessings over the coming year will arrive through trust, collaboration, and the courage to share the weight.

Aquarius Sun & Rising:

Aquarius, this week’s astrology reminds you that life isn’t only about the big vision — it’s also about how you show up for the people and passions that make the vision worthwhile. Mars enters fellow Air sign Gemini, activating your creativity, romance, and inner child sector for the next six weeks. Inspiration comes quickly now, and you’re likely to feel more playful, flirtatious, and willing to take creative risks than you have in a while. Then Mercury stations retrograde in Cancer, turning your attention back to your routines, work-life balance, and overall well-being. If you’ve been saying yes to everyone except yourself, this retrograde asks you to recalibrate. Revisit the habits that genuinely make you feel your best instead of trying to optimize every minute of the day.

The Capricorn Full Moon strikes on the 29th and illuminates your spirituality and healing sector, bringing a quiet but powerful sense of closure to something you’ve been processing internally over the past six months. You may release an old fear, forgive yourself for a past version of you, or simply notice that what once consumed your thoughts no longer carries the same weight. Then, on June 30th, Jupiter enters Leo, beginning a thirteen-month cycle of growth through partnerships, love, collaboration, and meaningful one-on-one connections. Some of the biggest opportunities of the coming year won’t be things you accomplish alone. They’ll arrive through the people who challenge you, champion you, and remind you that even the most independent soul benefits from having someone in their corner.

Pisces Sun & Rising:

Pisces, this week’s astrology reminds you that your imagination deserves a tangible outlet. Mars enters fellow Mutable sign Gemini, activating your home and family sector for the next six weeks, making it an ideal time to reorganize your space, move, redecorate, reconnect with loved ones, or finally tackle the home project that’s been sitting on your list. Then Mercury stations retrograde in fellow Water sign Cancer, lighting up your creativity, romance, and inner child sector. An old creative idea may suddenly feel exciting again, someone from your romantic past could reappear, or you may rediscover a hobby that reminds you who you were before life became so serious. Follow what brings you genuine joy without feeling pressured to have every next step mapped out.

The Capricorn Full Moon illuminates your friendship and community sector on the 29th, bringing a meaningful culmination around the people you’ve chosen to surround yourself with over the past six months. You may celebrate a shared accomplishment, naturally outgrow a connection, or realize just how much your support system has evolved. Then, on June 30th, Jupiter enters Leo, beginning a thirteen-month cycle of growth through your work, routines, health, and daily habits. The biggest wins of this transit won’t come from one dramatic breakthrough but from the small promises you keep to yourself every day. As your routines become more aligned with your purpose, you’ll discover that abundance has a way of showing up naturally when your everyday life supports the future you’re working toward.

The first Full Moon of the summer comes at the end of June, in the sign of Capricorn, heightening our expectations and anticipation for the future. June 29th marks a magical day, so set intentions that speak to your soul and manifest what appeals to your sentiments. The micromoon is the effect of the earth and moon being at apogee, making the moon appear smaller than usual. Don’t let its size fool you — it still packs a load of emotion for us. 

Beware, Neptune in Aries crafts a fraught alliance with the Full Moon, illuminating our ambitions. We must look within ourselves and figure out what makes us happy — it could be a childhood dream we are beginning to realize in the coming weeks. Letting go of the fear we attach to the unknown is hard because it requires us to relinquish control over the direction and outcome. The flip side is that if we don’t take this leap, it will burden us until we do. Tie in the fruitful link to the Nodes of Destiny, which are on the Pisces and Virgo lunar axis, to enhance the fateful call that propels us to innovation. 

The energy echoes the conjunction of Saturn and Neptune in Aries, which began on February 20th. Now that some time has passed, we are discerning how to utilize the transformative astrological aspect that augmented our values and ideals. The lunation asks us to restructure our visions. The Full Moon in Capricorn, which Saturn rules, is shedding light on our plans and desires. The element of how we can pragmatically assert our passions into reality is the clincher; therefore, it’ll require proper preparation and forethought — but it’s doable with a combination of patience and vigor. Never give up on what we hold in our hearts and want to bring to life.

There is an element of healing brought on by Mars in Gemini, sharing a minor frustration with the centaur Chiron in Taurus. Our former partnerships might come back to haunt us, due to Mercury’s cosmic spin, inflaming wounds that need to be mended and resolved. Understanding our core issues will be difficult and tearful; consider channeling the vibe into healthy activities like sports, yoga, or art. Learning not to be aggressive in how we express ourselves will be pivotal, as well as distancing ourselves from the naysayers. We may even realize that holding onto resentments is weighing on our auras and choose to free ourselves from the negativity of those who do not believe in us.

Speaking of such individuals, Mercury has some insight for us on that matter. The same day, Mercury retrograde begins its planetary moonwalk in Cancer (a little over six hours before the Full Moon, to be precise). When Mercury begins to move backward in the sign of Cancer, it will make us all reflective and contemplative of the past. Nostalgia is the key ingredient and theme that urges us to reconnect with a former aspiration and to seek approval from those we care about. We are taking stock of whether or not our peers are on our side. Don’t jump into reuniting these relationships until there is certainty that they’ll work out. If need be, remaining nuzzled in a cocoon for safety and TLC until we are ready to engage with others is the best form of protection before sharing the goals we yearn to create or elevate. 

The caveat is that it’ll take a hot minute for our agendas to move forward. However, we should take baby steps towards cultivating our incentives. Shooting our shot will lead to success, just not on our timeline, which is okay. The bottom line is that we must keep the faith — even if we appear to be delulu. Individualization and acceptance push us to inspire ourselves and the masses. Take flight to a state of enlightenment!

Last night, Daniella Kallmeyer kicked off the summer party season with an unforgettable birthday soirée. The visually stunning design studio, Apparatus, was transformed into Cafe Kallmeyer for the night with fashion insiders, actresses, and models putting their summer party looks to the test.

Of course, Kallmeyer made jaws drop in a sculptural wrap paired with coordinating trousers. To help her toast the evening, Severance actress Britt Lower, And Just Like That star Sarita Choudhury, and “Alaska” singer Maggie Rogers were among the chic revelers in the building. All in all, the festivities served as a chic lesson in what to wear to a friend’s birthday party. Whether you’re getting together for a rooftop gathering or a dance rager, take notes from last night’s cool attendees.

DashDividers_1_500x100

The Elevated Graphic Tee & Statement Pants

Ok, maybe not all of us have friends who are major fashion designers, but you can still show your support with playful merch that honors the birthday girl. Here, Lower reps the honoree with a Kall Gal tee. The biggest lesson here is all about balance. If you’re going super casual on the top with a tee, elevate the look with a fancy pair of pants like these Fall 2026 Kallmeyer embroidered beauties.

High-Texture Neutrals & Asymmetric Silhouettes

You never want to outshine your friend, but you can still make a subtle statement. The classiest way to do so is with lush texture and asymmetric silhouettes à la Choudhury. Bonus points if your shoes are easy to kick off for when the party really turns up on the dance floor.

Sharp, Deconstructed Tailoring

Exacting tailoring will always be your friend for sharp day-to-night dressing. Follow Louisa Jacobson’s lead and wear a white-on-white tie and button-down shirt. Let timeless trousers add the finishing touches to the polished party look.

Sheer Tops & Subversive Basics

Breezy sheer tops feel special enough for the moment without overdoing it. Maggie Rogers demonstrates how to execute the party-ready look with black separates and a long pearl necklace.

Tactile Knits & Pop-of-Color Utility

Playful pops of color like red and mustard will rise to the occasion. Keep the cool-girl vibes going by pairing tops with utilitarian cargo pants and colorblocking bags.

The “Borrow-from-the-Boys” Cool-Girl Uniform and The Ruched Maxi

A menswear-inspired look always takes the cake, but if you’re in the mood for something on the other side of the sartorial spectrum, turn to a trusty maxi dress to celebrate the evening in.

Festival season is in full swing, as we’re in the midst of Summerfest’s three-weekend festival and preparing for Essence Festival over Fourth of July weekend. (And let’s not forget about Olivia Rodrigo’s newly announced Daisy Chain Fields festival!) That means it’s prime time to plan your music festival outfits for it all.

Each event has its own flair — from the music and performers to the venues, and, of course, the crowd’s fashion. So if you want to dress on theme for this summer’s hottest music marathons, we curated mini style guides for every kind of vibe. Whether you’re after a matching set for a desert fest, durable boots for a camping weekend, an all-denim fit for a big city lineup, or a breezy dress for a seaside show, we’ve got all the essentials you could possibly need (and want).

But just as music taste has no boundaries, neither should your fashion sense. Mix and match pieces from reader-favorite retailers and re-sale sites (and from the different guides below) to concoct the perfect look for every pop, indie, hip-hop, EDM, or country concert on the calendar. (And if you don’t have any festivals lined up, don’t sweat it — there’s plenty of outfit inspo here for Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine shows as well as Olivia Rodrigo’s Unraveled tour or even Bad Bunny’s world tour.)

Scroll on for the clothing, shoes, and accessories (including trending summer styles and anti-festival trends) that deserve a spot in your concert outfit lineup.

DashDividers_1_500x100

Desert Music Festival Outfits

Whether you’ve secured a coveted ticket to Burning Man (August 30 to September 7) or have another desert festival on the horizon, you’ll need outfits that can handle sunny days and chilly nights. These festivals — and their scenic backdrops — are synonymous with effortless, breezy, boho style. Just take inspiration from Coachella-coded outfits. Think bikini tops, wide-brim hats, and turquoise jewelry by day. And be sure to wear cowboy boots, flowy blouses, and fringe pants that can take you into the windy nights.

Camping & Park Music Festival Outfits

Heading abroad for Tomorrowland (July 17 to 26)? Camping at Outside Lands (August 7 to 9)? Perhaps, you’re hoping to frolic in the park at Daisy Chain Fields (August 29) or Shaky Knees (September 18 to 20). No matter what, you’ll want to be strategic about your festival outfits — bring versatile, comfortable, and packable pieces that can go from stage to stage and last all day (and night). For grass-field festivals, balance your indie sleaze ‘fits with scarves to cover your face and rugged biker boots that can handle muddy terrain.

City Music Festival Outfits

In big cities, pretty much any aesthetic goes. For East Coast festivals like All Things Go in both NYC and DC (September 25 to 27), the weather should be mild — perfect for a denim-on-denim moment. In the Midwest, events like Summerfest (June 16 to July 4) and Lollapalooza (July 30 to August 2) bring the heat, so lean into easy shorts and light fabrics. And for Essence Festival (July 3 to 5) in New Orleans — which spans both indoor and outdoor venues —  go for something casual and cute, like soccer jerseys and statement sneakers.

Boardwalk & Beach Music Festival Outfits

Whether your toes are literally in the sand or you’re catching a boardwalk breeze at Sea.Hear.Now on the Jersey Shore (September 19 to 20), keep things effortless and cool with styles you’ll want to rewear all summer long. Vibe out seaside in a comfy ‘fit like a linen dress, a patterned matching set, or a swim short look. Don’t forget a baseball cap or straw hat for extra sun protection — and for shoes, go with chunky slides, jelly shoes, or fisherman sandals that won’t fly off mid-dance sesh.

Planet Mercury, computer artwork.

Just when we thought it was going to be a whimsical experience for us all, Mercury’s backsplash in Cancer from June 29th to July 23rd puts a damper on our travel, relationships, and desires. It won’t be as bad as it seems. Just make sure to be careful in how we express ourselves, back up information to the Cloud, and allow extra time when preparing for any trip. We can still have a fun season as long as we are mindful of the company we keep and how we use our energy. Self-preservation and protection may push us to lean into our comforts and nourish our spirits with nurturing and TLC. Feed your soul with love.

Now, think back and take note of the story that began on June 13th — the day before the New Moon in Gemini, which was June 14th, when the New York Knicks won the NBA championship, and the internet was buzzing with excitement. Whatever was happening in our lives then was a stage for the theme of Mercury’s moonwalk in Cancer. 

As the retrograde commences, the way we communicate with others will be more important than usual. Mercury in Cancer is already a sensitive placement, but when retrograde, it intensifies our emotions. Therefore, opting for sincere, tender-hearted dialogue is vital to ensure we don’t ruffle any feathers. The flipside is that we can be extremely moody. Cancer is ruled by the moon, which changes signs every 2.5 days and goes through eight phases a month. As a result of the lunar evolution, we may become unable to pin down and erratic. If we’re not feeling the vibes, we should take a time out and focus on self-care instead of taking our issues out on others.

Throughout the cosmic journey, we will revisit old relationships and childhood dreams. Looking back is an amazing way to heal the past and our wounds; however, we must be gentle with ourselves as we do so, rather than be critical of mistakes made, and evoke compassion and empathy. Nostalgia is reclaiming our minds, offering a different perspective on memories with our families. The version we believed in for years might change, due to a new understanding of circumstances. The insights will urge us to forgive ourselves and others, even if we cannot forget. The goal is to release and relinquish anger from our auras. 

July 12th brings a day of enlightenment, as the sun and Mercury retrograde form a conjunction, known as “cazimi.” The Latin term, which translates to “in the heart of the sun,” offers a transcendent moment of clarity amongst the retrograde chaos. For the first time in weeks, we’ll be able to see matters clearly and accurately, guaranteeing that we will not falter. To honor this astrological transit, set initiatives and make plans for the future. Make amends with those whom we care about. Seek closure with an ex. Speak up in the face of adversity. Respond to emails and texts that are piling up. Do not remain silent.

For the two weeks after Mercury turns direct, the planet will still be retracing and revisiting the degrees it was in during the retrograde. From July 23rd to August 6th, Mercury will be in its post-retrograde period, known as “retroshade.” We are going over the lessons and dramas of the planetary backspin with awareness and knowledge in how we wish to move forward.

I’m a certified fence-sitter. Chemical or mineral sunscreen? I can’t choose. Matte or dewy makeup? Still deliberating. But there’s one beauty opinion I hold with complete conviction: Korean skincare is superior.

Beyond buzzy ingredients like spicules — tiny, dissolvable microneedles designed to deliver skincare ingredients deeper into the skin — and PDRN, a regenerative ingredient derived from salmon DNA, Korean skincare has always put the skin barrier first. While many products popular in the West have traditionally focused on exfoliating or stripping the skin, K-beauty aims to repair, strengthen, and protect.

Always overdoing it on retinol, I, for one, need the help. But it seems I’m not the only one. Google search queries show that many of us are currently dealing with dryness due to warm weather, air conditioning, and dehydration from increased UV exposure and long summer evenings spent outdoors. Can Korean skincare get us back on track? I’d argue yes.

After spending an hour at a skincare masterclass with K-beauty favorite Medicube (the brand behind those viral Pore Pads) and skincare expert Dr. Kemi Fabusiwa, I came away with plenty of tips for achieving hydrated, glowing skin. Here are the 5 takeaways worth knowing.

You’re missing out on hypochlorous acid

I’ve watched hypochlorous acid go from an ingredient known mainly to dermatologists and surgeons to a skincare staple embraced by brands like Tower 28, e.l.f. Cosmetics, and Bubble. If you ask me, it’s one of the few skincare ingredients that pretty much everyone could benefit from. It’s an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory molecule that reduces bacteria on the skin, helping to prevent breakouts while calming redness and irritation. People with acne-prone skin and eczema often swear by it, as do those with bug bites, cuts, and grazes, thanks to its soothing, skin-calming properties.

Dr. Fabusiwa swears by a spritz of hypochlorous acid after cleansing and before moisturizer, throughout the day on bare skin, and post-workout to help prevent bacteria from mixing with sweat and triggering body breakouts on the back and chest. Medicube’s Hypochlorous Acid Daily Facial Spray is also packed with moisturizing allantoin and panthenol, so skin feels hydrated and dewy, not stripped.

Another smart use for hypochlorous acid is sanitizing your skincare devices. A quick spritz on LED masks, red-light wands, and facial massage tools can help keep bacteria at bay, reducing the risk of transferring it back onto your skin, where it can contribute to breakouts and irritation. Also try Bubble Clean Landing Daily Purifying Spray and e.l.f. Save Your E.L.F. Hypochlorous Mist.

How to sheet mask like a pro

Sheet masks are an indulgent part of a skincare routine, especially when stored in the fridge on hot days (don’t knock it until you’ve tried it). But while some of the essence absorbs into the skin, much of it stays in the mask itself, which ultimately gets tossed in the trash. If you’re serious about masking — and even more focused on boosting hydration — consider investing in a microcurrent device and using it over the top.

Medicube’s AGE-R Booster Pro X2 — the latest version of its beloved microcurrent wand — now features a Mask mode, which allows it to be used over sheet masks or paired with moisturizers and serums to help enhance absorption and deliver hydration deeper into the skin.

While this step is by no means necessary, it is certainly effective. If you’re thinking about picking up a device for Prime Day, the Booster Pro X2 is currently $60 off. In reality, any facial massage tool can help, but few offer as many modes — including microcurrent, electric muscle stimulation, LED therapy, and sonic vibration — as this one does.

Why hydration is all about lightweight layers

When my skin is dry and dehydrated, I’m notorious for reaching for the most unctuous moisturizer, hoping it will fix everything. But I’ve learned that long-lasting hydration is rarely achieved that way. Instead, it’s all about strategically layering lighter products, rather than relying on one thick, heavy cream that risks being occlusive or pore-clogging.

Post-cleanse, your best bet for meaningful hydration is a milky essence or toner, followed by a lightweight moisturizer, and, in the morning, sunscreen. The key is that milky textures sit somewhere between an essence and a serum, so you can skip the serum step if you want to. Right now, I can’t get enough of Medicube’s PDRN Pink Niacinamide Milky Toner, which is ever so slightly richer than others thanks to ceramides, which act like glue between skin cells to keep skin soft and smooth, skin-strengthening peptides, and, of course, PDRN — an ingredient derived from salmon DNA that helps support the skin barrier for a plumper, dewier complexion. Rather than pouring it onto a cotton pad, I apply it with my hands to avoid wasting a drop.

Also worth trying are Anua’s Rice 70 Glow Milky Toner, which pairs hydrating niacinamide with ceramides, and TIRTIR’s Milk Skin Toner, which combines niacinamide, ceramides, and deeply moisturizing provitamin B5. If you’re looking for a more affordable option, Refinery29’s senior beauty writer Karina Hoshikawa swears by The Ordinary’s Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner, which gently exfoliates while it hydrates.

Why PDRN deserves your attention

Polydeoxyribonucleotide — aka PDRN — is an ingredient we’re seeing in clinic treatments,” says Dr. Fabusiwa. “So it’s great that we’re now seeing it enter at-home products.” And it really is everywhere. K-beauty brands from Anua to Dr. Reju-All were among the first to adopt the ingredient — commonly derived from salmon DNA — in skincare, but brands like The Inkey List and U Beauty have also since come on board. What makes PDRN interesting is that it closely resembles human DNA, and when applied topically and consistently, it’s thought to support skin repair, improve hydration, and may help encourage collagen production over time.

It’s especially useful when applied under the eyes, where the delicate skin is more prone to fine lines caused by dryness and dehydration, says Dr. Fabusiwa. Happily, it’s now being incorporated across a wide range of skincare, from serums to moisturizers. Dr. Fabusiwa’s pick is Medicube’s PDRN Pink Collagen Capsule Cream, which contains rich cream capsules suspended in a hydrating gel base for an extra boost of moisture on application.

In fact, capsule creams are very much du jour among Korea’s skincare enthusiasts. Also worth trying are VT Cosmetics’ PDRN Capsule Cream 100, which combines PDRN with hydrating niacinamide and squalane, and P.CALM’s PDRN Caffeine Blue Capsule Cream, which pairs PDRN with hyaluronic acid and panthenol for an extra hit of moisture.

Lastly, if PDRN isn’t for you, volufiline is worth knowing

Besides PDRN, volufiline is another ingredient popular in Korean skincare that’s likely already on your radar — especially if you’ve ever googled filler alternatives. The plant-derived extract, often sourced from asparagus root, has been touted as a non-surgical option for subtly improving the appearance of facial volume in areas prone to hollowing, such as the cheeks and under the eyes.

The Ordinary’s Volufiline 92% + Pal-Isoleucine 1% facial oil has gone viral for its claims to help plump, hydrate, and smooth the skin, with reviewers even likening its line-softening effects to Botox, and if TikTok is anything to go by, Medicube’s PDRN Pink Collagen Volume Multi Balm — also with volufiline — is gaining just as much attention.

I can report that the stick is particularly effective on lips prone to dryness and, as a result, more pronounced lines. It also makes an excellent base underneath concealer around the under-eye area as it combines volufiline with hydrating hyaluronic acid, puffiness-reducing caffeine, and vitamin E for an added moisture boost. What’s also pretty great is that this is currently the most affordable skincare volufiline product right now, even cheaper than The Ordinary. It’s become a staple in my routine, and I keep it in my bag for lips and eyelids when they’re feeling dry in the city heat.

Action planet Mars is flying into airy Gemini in one big swoop on June 28th. The last time Mars was in Gemini was during the summer of 2024. If you cast your mind back you’ll remember it was a season where we hated to state our annoyances and grievances to others. Hopefully, this time around, we will be more conscious of the energy we’re putting out into the world and will not give others too much of our attention, conserving it for ourselves instead. Basically, be good and no trolling — even if the temptation is there.

How we choose to express ourselves and share our passions, can also distress us at times. We can simultaneously be playful, flighty, demanding, and downright mean. Don’t forget that Gemini is the twin star that has the devil on one side and an angel on the other. Choose your archetype wisely! Plus, Mars in Gemini isn’t known to mince words, which means they can weaponised if we’re not careful.

Mars in Gemini definitely allows us to have a sharper wit and tongue when discussing emotions, politics, and small aspects of daily life. The objective is to win at all costs by swaying people to our point of view and having the last word; however, there may be times when we are unable to do so, which will only make us dig our heels further into the mud by resorting to our charm and grace to manipulate people into believing our words. More often than not, we use distractions to create confusion, so that our opponents have no choice but to drop the matter because they are unsure what is real.

Although Mars in Gemini is usually a time when our energy levels are at a high, this year the transit will prove to be exhausting and frustrating. The reason is that Mercury, the planetary ruler of Gemini, will be in retrograde from June 29th to July 23rd. Since Mercury is beginning to moonwalk the day after Mars enters Gemini, we are going to feel an immediate shift in how we assert ourselves and what takes precedence in our lives until the retrograde ends. Instead of fighting for our convictions and vocalizing our sentiments, repression could take hold, urging us to stay in our lane and keep mum on matters. Contrarily, Mercury’s backspin brings out erratic sentiments, causing us to be impulsive in our interactions. 

With Uranus in Gemini and Pluto retrograde in Aquarius, intensifying the energy on July 4th and 5th, the need to be the authority on situations and circumstances is extreme. It’s a case of little boss versus big boss — meaning the chasm over who is in charge will cause power dynamics issues and struggles with others. Taking the backseat isn’t going to resolve dramas, as we are called to participate and argue back. Be mindful of those who stir the pot by spreading falsities. The truth is sometimes bizarre and stranger than fiction, especially with Neptune in Aries shaking things up on July 4th.

DashDividers_1_500x100

Important Dates for Mars in Gemini:

June 28th: Mars enters Gemini, leveling up the way we use our words to express ourselves and to take action. 

June 30th: Mars in Gemini squares the Nodes of Destiny on the Pisces and Virgo lunar axis, urging us to choose how to utilize our vitality.

July 4th: Mars forms a conjunction with revolutionary Uranus in Gemini, bringing unforeseen changes our way. 

July 4th: Mars in Gemini sextiles Neptune in Aries, making us unsure of how to proceed. Releasing worries and anxieties about the future is vital.

July 5th: Mars in Gemini harmonizes with Pluto in Aquarius, giving us the stamina and motivation to be successful. 

July 19th: Mars in Gemini aspects Saturn in Aries, urging us to take the lead and set the rules in motion. 

August 10th: Mars in Gemini links up with the Nodes of Destiny on the  Aquarius and Leo lunar axis, pushing us to implement change.

August 11th: Mars swims into Cancer, adding a moodier element to how to take on tasks and improve our lives.
