This week, on June 6th, there’s a New Moon in Gemini, the star sign of duality. Gemini rules communication which means this is an important New Moon for talk, conversation, negotiations and ideas.
Find yourself a friend (or an enemy), have those all important heart-to-hearts and use the dynamic New Moon energy to start the ball rolling, initiate a conversation and get things moving.
Notice your mind and whether it’s unusually busy. Air signs, like Gemini, can overthink things and you may have a lot on your mind or your ‘to do’ list during this New Moon phase.
You might be commuting more than usual or be on a road trip – Gemini rules transport and is a star sign that loves to be on the move.
Make A Wish
The two week period between the New Moon on June 6th and the Full Moon on June 22nd is an ideal time to be pro-active, forward-thinking and get going.
This New Moon is especially lovely for making a wish as Venus sits next to the Sun & Moon and Venus represents sweetness and the good things in life.
The Sun/Venus conjunction in Gemini was exact on June 4th. Venus was called the ‘harmoniser’ by ancient cultures as she has a perfect 8 year cycle. This means that eight years ago, there was a Sun/Venus conjunction on June 6, 2016 at 16° Gemini.
During the New Moon this week on June 6th, the Sun, Venus & the Moon align at 16° Gemini. It feels like magical astrology and resonant if you have key planets/angles close to this degree.
9 ways to make the most of this week’s New Moon:
1. Be still during the exact time of the New Moon – see date/times above. It’s ideal for meditation, active gratitude and looking ahead.
2. Set your intentions for the coming fortnight on or shortly after the date/time of the New Moon. Write them down, say them out loud. This is the time to use the pro-active energy of the New Moon phase.
3. Make a wish when you first catch sight of the crescent moon. This will appear in the night sky a day or two after the New Moon date.
4. Pick up the phone, send an email, fire off a text during the crescent moon phase. This is an excellent time of the month to book an appointment, line up a meeting or interview or apply for a job or new role. Gemini’s nature is quick and lively. Use witty repartee to get yourself noticed.
5. Read a book, do puzzles, study something new, go back to school. Being curious is a Gemini trait. Research proves that using your mind and brain power keeps you youthful and engaged in life. Master a language, hone your skills, keep learning. This is going to be especially relevant moving forward as big planet Jupiter will be in Gemini until June 2025. What you put in place now could reap you rewards in one year’s time.
6. Gemini’s ruling planet, Mercury, is also in Gemini during the New Moon. Mercury is moving swiftly which favours the waxing phase of the Moon. Therefore, another reason to be spontaneous and speedy. Ideally, make your move before Mercury leaves Gemini on June 17th.
7. Gemini is a social star sign and, thanks to a stellium of planets in Gemini – Venus, Moon, Sun, Mercury, Jupiter – this is a positive time to enjoy yourself and have fun. Gemini rules siblings and neighbours, also your local community. Which people are foreground in your life and how can you use your connections to benefit one another?
8. Change your mind. Gemini is one of the mutable star signs, changeable and restless. Most Geminis have a flip side to their nature and don’t always say what they mean. You could use this New Moon phase to switch allegiance, change sides or play devil’s advocate. Gemini’s the trickster who keeps everyone on their toes.
9. Both Venus & the Sun are heading for a square aspect with Saturn at the weekend. This could slow things down or coincide with a disappointment. Yet, Saturn can be a reality check too and a reminder to be resilient and persistent. Sometimes, good things come to those who wait.
Happy New Moon Gemini
