The month of June carries the strong spirit of summer and holiday fun. Mutable signs will be blessed with a bout of inspiration and artistic vision, while Mars provides a surge of strong energy to boost your physical strength for all those beach days and water sports to come.
Last month, we teamed up with The Travel Insider to come up with the best things to do in Singapore to match your energies, according to each zodiac sign’s horoscope. This June, we’re doing it once more with a fresh curation, drawing on astrological analysis by SkyHoroscope. Plus, exclusive deals for UOB Cardmembers to get the most out of their summer holidays.
Aries babies, expect a burst of creativity and imagination. Whether at work or home, the new moon in Gemini promises to bring original projects to the table that you will be able to take on with full force. The Sun in Gemini gives Aries a desire to seek out new knowledge and develop different skillsets.

The transit of Mercury allows Geminis to enhance their problem solving and communication skills.
