The New Moon falls at 16º Gemini, 8:37 AM ET on June 6th. With a gust of wind, the doors are swung open wide —waiting for you to walk through. This is exactly what the New Moon in Gemini is inviting in. This New Moon is one where we seek clarity of mind and space. The Gemini energy surrounding this lunation shows us that words hold power, and with that, we can speak our realities into existence. Like the Magician, we create our futures by integrating and amalgamating into our lives everything we have learned up to this moment. We float on the exhale of every word and wrap ourselves around our ideas, nurturing them as they take flight. Altogether, we rise higher and higher while maintaining control of our path.
Mercury is the leader of this New Moon, emphasizing the need to communicate, express, and speak: we can change everything with a single word. Mercury is active through its transits, empowered by Jupiter and moving toward the Sun, Moon, and Venus. We can’t lack conviction to speak openly with confidence, words matter and people are listening. Jupiter invites us to open up, speaking with truth and honesty above all else.
With this said, the Sun and Moon do square Saturn, creating a bit of tension. We are walking, what feels like heavily, with one hand outstretched to find our way forward. Yet, we get flashes of insight, pulling us to move beyond Saturn’s lead-laden land. This feeling is temporary, and once we clear the air, we can see that there are no obstacles ahead of us — or that they aren’t as bad as they seem.
The New Moon is empowered by Venus, bringing a softness to the edgy feelings at this New Moon. We embody our desires and values now. We can see that ease isn’t so bad, and perhaps that is how we overcome our obstacles. With so much Mutable energy at this lunation, we have to lean into the Gemini nature of flexibility and adaptability. We can be where we are needed instead of forcing ourselves where we don’t belong.
If you feel overwhelmed, take a minute to breathe and feel yourself lifting up as the air fills your lungs. Just don’t lose sight of the ground.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 11º to 21º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Mutable placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
Aries, this has been a big year for you! The North Node of Fate has been traversing your sign, bringing with it pivotal shifts encouraging your realignment with your true Aries nature. You are here to inspire others through your journey of self-discovery. You do this by charting your own path. Now may be the time to start a new venture.
This New Moon also offers a time to consider what you hold in common with Gemini – a youthful spirit with an eagerness to learn and a contagious optimism. However, Gemini as a Mutable sign creates a bit more options and unexpected choices for your natural ambitious approach. While Aries may typically be direct, Gemini brings awareness to the duality inherent in all things. Trust your instincts, while also being open to another’s point of view.
As new ideas, connections, and opportunities flow in, how might you more swiftly communicate your truth? This offers foreshadowing, as Jupiter just entered Gemini where it will stay for the next year. This opens you to new writing opportunities and collaborations with close friends. Now is the time to grow your capacity to share information.
In addition, Chiron is conjunct Hygeia in Aries on this New Moon. Chiron is the planetoid often referred to as the wounded healer, while Hygeia is the asteroid associated with health and hygiene. This indicates a strong impulse towards the need for greater healing and integration. Whatever core wounds you’ve been working through over the past few years may find spaciousness and alleviation through new insight.
And finally, each New Moon offers an opportunity to check back in with your ruling planet Mars. Currently Mars is in your home sign of Aries at 28º. There is a culmination of maturation on this New Moon. Use the Emperor in the tarot to meditate on this soul-growth potential available for you Aries. New Moon blessings!
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Taurus, you have been in the process of a radical awakening, as Jupiter and Uranus aligned in your sign last month. This has likely brought with it expansion and innovation that reconnect you with the Earth. This Gemini New Moon offers a moment of exhale to process it all. Stay open to a fresh perspective. This may give you an opportunity to enjoy all of your hard work through social interaction and new relationships. Perhaps sit under a tree and journal about all that has unraveled and changed in your life this year.
On this New Moon, your ruling planet Venus is strongly at play. Venus is exactly aligned in the sky with the Gemini Sun. This is often referred to as a Venus Cazimi – “cazimi” translates to “in the heart”. A New Moon of setting intentions around all matters of the heart – relationships, work, money, beauty and art. When meditating on this through the lens of Gemini it invites you to focus on social interaction and exchange.
How might you open yourself up to relationships that mirror back to you your innate genius and worthiness? Use the Lovers card in the tarot, Gemini’s card, as a meditation for reflection on this New Moon. Realign with your values, particularly as it relates to the ways in which you communicate and share ideas with others.
As a Taurus, it is also always beneficial for you to connect with the health of your body. Gemini rules over the hands, arms, and lungs. You may find it beneficial to spend time in nature, focusing on your breath. Connect with the air element through lightness of movement. As you move your body, connect with Gemini’s body parts. Invite in new love and opportunity. Inhale, say to yourself, “I am open and receptive to all forms of love from my body.” Exhale, releasing any stagnation that has built, freeing you up for new delights. Gemini New Moon blessings to you sweet Taurus!
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Dear Gemini, this is your time of year! If you are a Gemini Sun, happy birthday! If you are a Gemini Moon or Gemini Rising, this is a potent time to realign with your soul gifts. This New Moon offers an opportunity to really drop in and tune in to your growing potential. As we embark on this new lunar cycle, the Gemini new moon holds special significance. Not only does this New Moon occur in your sign, there’s also many astrological occurrences that are quite auspicious and potent for you.
As of last week, Jupiter just entered the sign of Gemini. Jupiter represents the accumulation of wisdom throughout one’s lifetime. Jupiter stays in a sign for an entire year, which indicates that from now until Gemini season of 2025, your very sense of self is undergoing a process of growth, abundance and expansion.
On one hand, Jupiter amplifies whatever sign it transits. This creates space for your unique voice to shine brightly. As a Gemini, you bring a tremendous amount of joy and inspiration to the world. You hold the gift of wit and word that uplifts spirits in your immediate surroundings. However, on the other hand, Jupiter can also exasperate your outdated Gemini tendencies. Feelings of being scattered, flighty, or overwhelmed with options or interests could disperse your energy.
On this Gemini New Moon, consider reconnecting with practices that allow you to explore duality. Meditation and movement practices that cultivate mindfulness are recommended for your Mutable Air nature. What new insights might come to you if you allow yourself to go on a walk in silence? Commune with nature and bring particular awareness to the birds and the wind for new insights.
This connection to nature is further emphasized by Venus being in the sign of Gemini. On this New Moon, we are gifted with a cosmic kiss, as Venus, the esoteric ruling planet for Gemini, aligns with the Sun and Moon. This alignment of the Venus Cazimi gives you space to set new intentions around your values and desires, inviting greater love into your life. Happy birthday, dear Gemini, may this new moon bring you boundless blessings and infinite possibilities.
Cancer & cancer Rising

This is a time to connect with your innermost self, to embrace your vulnerability, and to heal any emotional wounds that may be holding you back.
The presence of the Venus Cazimi in Gemini brings a focus on love, beauty, and harmony on your spiritual journey. It encourages you to cultivate love and compassion, with yourself and with others.

Now is the time to let yourself shine brightly as you navigate the depths of your being and find solace in your unique way.
Jupiter, newly in the sign of Gemini, adds an expansive and transformative energy to this new moon. It also amplifies your intuitive abilities over the next year, encouraging you to trust your inner wisdom. This is a time for spiritual growth and expansion, as you embrace new perspectives and open yourself up to the infinite possibilities that lie ahead.
Asteroid Vesta's presence in Cancer further enhances your connection to the divine and the sacred. With Vesta in Cancer you are being encouraged to honor your inner flame, to nurture your spiritual practices, and to create a sacred space within yourself. This is a time to explore rituals and practices that resonate with your soul, helping you find balance and harmony in your daily life.
Being ruled by the Moon, The New Moon holds great significance for you. Use the energy of the new moon to set intentions, to plant the seeds of transformation, and to embark on a journey of self-discovery. New Moon blessings.
