Get ready for a deep dive into your emotions as the planets Venus and Mercury enter the sign of Cancer on June 17. Cosmically, it will be a crucial time to reflect on your feelings about love and how secure you feel in this department. Our emotions will drive our overall communication style over the next few weeks. As the communication planet Mercury faces Neptune in intensity on this day, your message may get lost in translation. It's not a time to be logical like Dr. Spock, but it will be a moment to assess your needs by connecting with your heart or listening more intently to others — and your intuition. Are your values in alignment? Allow your message to take the back seat for now. Later this week, you will make sense of your next move. Reflect.

Remember to listen more than react.

Vesta, the asteroid that embodies dedication and inner belief, will enter the sign of Leo on June 19. This celestial event presents an opportunity to indulge in your creativity and reignite the fire that involves your aspiration. Trust in your vision, and the Universe will guide your next steps.

The Summer Solstice begins on June 20, and with the Sun entering Cancer, our focus will be building solid foundations and catering to home and family. As it's the start of a water season, it will also infuse us with the need to incorporate self-care to cater to our emotional well-being. The Sun square Neptune event on this day could make you feel like you are in a daze or limbo. Neptune grants the space to become more imaginative and creative. Just be and try not to decipher or "fix" things beyond your control. Book a day to go to the beach, watch a rom-com movie, or host a potluck with your loved ones to nourish your soul.

As we conclude this momentous week, we will meet with the second full moon in Capricorn on June 21. This full moon will enable us to bravely face the unresolved regarding our structures with love and security. As this lunation faces Venus in opposition, it will help you pinpoint the reality regarding your direction involving your relationships. Facing the past and accepting your present situation will lead to healing possibilities. The great news is that Mercury will be in a supportive position with Mars, the planet of action. Honest dialogue exchanges will lead to breakthroughs and a pathway to remodel your future decisions.

This month, prepare for a passion-filled, fiery, and straightforward journey. The excitement starts with Mercury, as it enters the sign of Leo, promising zesty conversations. Brace yourself for interactions that can be either amicable or off the rails, as it may reveal a tone of self-centeredness if our egos are left unchecked. The new moon in Cancer will be a powerful moment for healing, revitalizing our hearts, and stepping on a new path involving our love story. Then, Pallas, the asteroid of strategy and achievement, goes direct in the Scorpio sign, offering us a chance to unravel the mysteries of situations and people and make informed future decisions.

Love and passion will then be on the radar as Venus enters Leo, and our creativity will flow seamlessly as we align with our confidence and vision.

Mars enters Gemini during the second half of July, infusing us with inspiration and an openness to trying new approaches to our goals. The full moon will then phase into Capricorn (again!), granting us the complete scope of all that we have built so far in our journey since the new year. Then, the Sun enters Leo, propelling us to explore our true happiness and fulfillment – romantically or personally. We will then become more pragmatic in our thought process when Mercury enters Virgo. Our ideas and ways of communicating our principles will be methodical and solid. July will conclude with Chiron retrograde, allowing us to review our past wounds and receive clarity on what is holding us back from healing.

​Your Weekly Horoscope Themes For June 24-30

Shai

This week, we are in for a journey of self-discovery and revelations. The messenger planet, Mercury, is currently in the sign of Cancer, and it will present clues on how to improve our current situation. The key is to align with your intuitive feelings and set aside logic. This concept may be challenging, but this new approach will enable you to step into your new and improved self.

It's all about analyzing your feelings and assessing your daily patterns.

Mercury will be in a supportive position with the marriage and commitment asteroid, Juno, on June 24. If you've been going through challenges in your relationship, this is an ideal day to express your thoughts and ideas with your romantic partner. The moon is now decreasing, so it's also a great opportunity to let go of the past and move things forward with mutual understanding and peace.

The messenger planet continues to reign this week as Mercury faces Ceres in opposition on June 25. Ceres is the asteroid that represents motherhood and the way you nurture. On this day, it would be ideal to extend self-compassion if you feel out of sorts involving your early experiences with nurturers or caregivers. Allow yourself a day of grace and self-love to help you feel more centered and confident regarding your next steps.

Now, things will make sense as Mercury gets harmonious with Saturn on June 26! Although this exchange can be transactional and business-like, you can expect results and traction involving long-term plans. You will seamlessly complete tasks and have the confidence to set your goals. Remember to speak about your next steps if others are involved.

Sir Mercury continues its move, meeting Chiron, the wounded healer, in an intense position on June 28. This planetary event can present that nagging little voice that deflates your mojo if you feel insecure about your next steps. Try not to let your past missteps project your future dreams. Push through and hold on to the possibility of succeeding.

Remember that positivity can magnify just as rapidly as the negative – choose a side.

June 29 will extend a cosmic boost as you learn to power up your self-worth. The love planets Venus and Mars will be in a supportive formation, extending cosmic support for you to receive love and devotion. Mercury will extend serendipitous encounters or events as it meets Uranus in a supportive position. With the planets Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Uranus working together, it will be an ideal day to take chances and explore the unknown with an open heart. Schedule a date night or go out and meet new people.

The possibilities are endless.

Due to the hot summer sun, I like my makeup and skincare to feel light and not too cake-y — and that's exactly where my favorite french girl beauty brands come in. The quintessential "french girl" look is effortless, natural, and seemingly barely there, meant to enhance your given gorgeous features with just a few light extra touches. With that in mind, I accumulated my top favorite beauty brands from skincare to makeup to show you everything you need to get that effortless, french girl look that we're all aiming for this summer. Straight from your pinterest board to real life, here are all of my favorite products.

Typology

Typology Tinted Serum

Want that natural, french girl skin? This tinted serum is the key! It's vegan and made with squalane, aloe vera, and vitamin C, which is essential for hydrated and healthy looking skin with a bit of tint for coverage. I love a tinted serum because they're somewhat dual purpose, both giving your skin coverage and making it healthier.

Rouje

Rouje Beauty Beach Waves Hair Set

I've shopped from Rouje (founded by Jeanne Dumas, french style icon) for quite a while, and their pieces never miss! Alongside their exceptional fashion selection, they've launched a beauty section that's just as good! This hair set with hairspray, hair oil, a chic comb, and makeup bag couldn't get any cuter. This is how you get the messy, texturized, french girl hair that's all over pinterest! I couldn't be more obsessed!

Rouje

Rouje Beauty Blush and Highlight Palette

Another Rouje Beauty item, because this palette will be essential to getting that natural, dewy french girl skin! And it has everything you need in one palette. You have a lip color, blush, and highlighter to give you a glass-skin glow! It's an all-in-one product that I adore.

L'Occitane

L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil

I must confess...I have a serious addiction to this product. It's an almond shower gel that smells like heaven. L'Occitane is an OG french brand that's made in the South of Francenear Provence, and this gel has to be an absolute favorite of mine. It starts off as an oil that emulsifies with water to make a shower gel, and it smells absolutely phenomenal. This is a product I use every single day without fail. Fair warning: you will definitely get addicted to it too.

Amazon

Caudalie Elixir Spray

I've used this spray for over a decade, and no I'm not exaggerating. Caudalie is a french beauty brand that I use religiously, and I've tried almost every product — none of them disappoint. This spray is a daily ritual for me, every morning and every night. It has this fresh scent and cooling mist that relaxes you, making you feel so refreshed. Plus, this spray acts as a toner and really works as a great base for your skincare. A 100/10 french brand for me! Xoxo, a devoted Caudalie stan.

Violette FR

Violette FR Bisou Balm

This brand was started by Violette, a young french woman who was the Creative Director of Makeup at Guerlain at only 33 years old. Needless to say, she has quite a trusted resume in the beauty industry. This brand, Violette FR, is one I used often. I love their skincare products, and have heard raving reviews of her makeup as well. This Bisou Balm is the key to a tinted lip with some color and hydration! This is the quintessential french style — some coverage, but never too much!

Violette FR

Violette FR Bisou Blush

Want rosy french-girl cheeks? This bison blush is just the thing you need! This would be the perfect travel size item to throw in your bag to touch up your cheeks and lips on the go!

Amazon

Avene Eue Thermal Spray

I had to add another spray because this is a french girl must-have! I keep a travel-size in my purse and spray it whenever I feel like I need some touch-ups or hydration. I love this french brand, and always stop at the pharmacy in France to grab plenty of their products to take home.

Amazon

Embryolisse Moisturizer

This moisturizer is one of my favorites I've ever used! It's so rich and thick, and it works as the best primer to sit under your makeup. Almost every french girl beauty tutorial I've seen swears by this moisturizer, so definitely run to pick this one up on Amazon!

Amazon

Bioderma Micellar Water

And now we have the last step in our beauty routine: makeup remover! This is seriously such a go-to when it comes to removing makeup and getting it all off. I've been using this for years and it really is one of the best makeup removers and micellar waters. An essential in your french girl routine!

Queen Latifah is one of the Black women who made watching Livin' Single an anticipated event in my household. Prior to producer and screenwriter Mara Brock Ali's Girlfriends, I remember watching Latifah's character (Khadijah) run the helm of the fictitious Flavor magazine. I didn't know it then, but seeing her navigate having a career, roommates, friends, and romantic relationships gave me a taste of what comes with adulthood.

With more than two decades of acting under her belt, it's time that we paid our respects to Queen Latifah's rom-com legacy. Partially without her, I wouldn't have known it was possible for diverse Black characters to have funny, love-filled adventures that aren't always rooted in trauma. While those stories deserve to be told, Queen Latifah helped show me that Black people aren't monolithic. That shared experiences and perspectives or backgrounds can exist within our culture.

But, don't just take my word for it. Here's 6 of Queen Latifah's movies that I think you should binge watch before the month is over!

MGM Studios

Beauty Shop

In Beauty Shop, Queen Latifah plays Gina Norris, a widowed hair dresser with a young daughter. She initially works at an upscale salon, but decides to quit when she can no longer stand her toxic environment. Deciding to open her own business, she experiences a series of ups and downs during the hiring and renovation process. But, time eventually finds her finding great success as a beauty salon owner and she even finds love again.

I love watching Beauty Shop because I have fond memories of listening to older women's conversations at the hair salons I used to go to. Actually, I still remember my favorite hairstylist's name — Ms. Tanya — who had a personality similar to Gina in Beauty Shop.

IMO, it's one of the most commercially accurate depictions of what happens in hair salons. Not only that, but it humanizes those who are in the beauty industry.

Paramount Pictures

Last Holiday

Besides Beauty Shop, Last Holiday is my second favorite Queen Latifah rom-com. She immerses herself into the world of Georgia Byrd — a painfully shy woman who works in the cookware department of a large retail store — and makes viewers believe that's exactly who she is. She even has a huge crush on her co-worker, but she's too afraid to say anything to him.

It's an incredible movie because we get to see Georgia spend time being in the background of her own life until a scary diagnosis causes her to live life to the fullest. She travels to the Czech Republic and begins indulging in things she never allowed herself to. From dressing in the finest designer clothes to BASE jumping, she learns what it means to do things that scare you.

If you're wondering, OF COURSE she finally admits her feelings to her crush! In fact, he's there to support her when she decides to open her own restaurant towards the end of Last Holiday.

While finding love is always fun, I love the other messages in this movie like not waiting for the perfect moment to enjoy life and being careful not to judge a book by its cover.

Searchlight Pictures

Just Wright

As Leslie Wright, Queen Latifah is a no-nonsense physical therapist. As successful as she in her career, Latifah's character can't get out of the friend zone. Still, she moves on and buys a home that she ends up sharing with her close friend Morgan.

The two are polar opposites because Morgan only cares about being the token wife of a successful NBA player. She eventually gets her wish when Morgan meets one of the New Jersey Nets top basketball player, Scott McKnight. He's immediately intrigued by Morgan's deceptiveness and hastily proposes to her months later.

After an accident that threatens Scott's career, Leslie becomes his physical therapist and doesn't cut him any slack. Eventually the two discover they're interested in each other and begin to become closer after Morgan decides she's not cut out for helping him recover.

This movie stands out to me because we've often joked about putting men in the friend zone, but I like to think we're all familiar with how it feels when our crush doesn't like us. So, seeing this successful, talented, and gorgeous woman decide not to become embittered by her initial lack of a love life is inspiring.

It doesn't hurt that she eventually secures a high-paying role AND a flourishing love life with someone she never intended to fall in love with.

Searchlight Pictures

Brown Sugar

Brown Sugar doesn't center the character Queen Latifah plays (Francine), but she does serve as the literal definition of a supporting actress. In the movie, she plays the cousin of Sidney (Sanaa Lathan) and consistently encourages her to admit how she really feels about her best friend Dre (Taye Diggs).

While her love life isn't the main focus, Francine notices that Cavi (played by Mos Def), an artist Dre is working with, is too shy to truly initiate something romantic with her. Ever the confident woman, she asks him on a date and all ends well.

Universal Pictures

Girls Trip

Queen Latifah's character Sasha is more focused on trying to secure clients to help her mounting bills than she is about dating — but she does recognize that her best friend Ryan Pierce (Regina Hall) is married to a cheating, narcissistic man. This causes tension between the two because they're each hiding the nature of what's truly going on with them, but they eventually are able to piece together their friendship.

What makes this movie partially a rom-com is because we see each other ladies — Ryan, Sasha, Lisa (Jada Pinkett Smith), and Dina (Tiffany Haddish) — come to terms with their own version of love. Sometimes it just happens when you're having fun at a music festival with your best friends.

Sony Pictures

The Perfect Holiday

Last but not least, The Perfect Holiday is a feel-good Christmas movie where Queen Latifah plays an angel called Mrs. Christmas. She and Bah Humbug (Terrance Howard) work behind the scenes to orchestrate whether Benjamin (Morris Chestnut) and Nancy (Gabrielle Union) will be able to find romantic love in each other.

It's one of those fun Christmas movies that the entire family can watch, especially if everyone loves seeing how much frenzy the winter holiday can cause for people — and how much joy it can bring in the end!
