The June night sky

Vega (the 27th and 29th) is a brilliant magnitude-0 blue-white star — the Weaver Princess of the Tanabata story. Lyra is a small constellation, but Vega stands out even through gaps in the rainy-season clouds.

June is the season of Scorpius and Ophiuchus. Sargas (the 15th) lies in the Scorpion's tail; Rasalhague (the 14th) is the head of the Serpent Bearer. Eltanin (the 18th) is the orange eye of Draco, the dragon coiling through the northern sky.

How to enjoy June birth stars

Choose by star words: a Vega birth star makes a romantic centerpiece for a gift.
Find it at culmination: at midnight Vega is almost directly overhead — simply look straight up.
Pair it with the birthday color: rainy-season colors and star words for a gift like a night sky after rain.
For gifts and cards: add the tale of the Weaver and the Cowherd to make a June gift special.
