This weekend, the new moon in Gemini will peak on Sunday, June 14 at 10:54 p.m. Eastern Time. This lunation marks a major social event in June, fostering new connections, bringing newfound clarity, and delivering a thrilling jolt of excitement—as well as connecting us with those who share our deepest philosophies.
New moons mark the beginning of the monthly lunar cycle. At this time, the moon lies between the sun and Earth, mostly blocking the sun’s light from reaching us, meaning it appears dark or as merely a sliver of light. Without its full light, we cannot access our surroundings and must rely on our senses to navigate through them. Since this is an (albeit hidden) supermoon, the moon’s perigee to Earth has a profound effect on our emotions.
Mathematically, Black Moon Lilith is a point that determines the lunar apogee; astrologically, it depicts the shadow aspect of our personalities that is untamable and unconforming. Black Moon Lilith in Sagittarius opposes the new moon in Gemini, propelling us to revolt against the status quo and insist on autonomy. The nearness of the zealous asteroid Eris in Aries adds a touch of drama and intensity to the cosmic atmosphere. Freedom and vitality are the themes of the new moon.
Mercury’s pre-retrograde shadow (the weeks leading up to the celestial backspin when the planet slows down), which began on June 13 in water Cancer, starts the story for the planet’s moonwalk that commences on June 29. Since Mercury rules the zodiac Gemini, the sign of the new moon, we can anticipate that communication may become difficult or even, at times, illogical. Being intentional with our words is vital to avoid hurting others and ourselves. Lead with compassion.
Read your new moon in Gemini horoscope below.
Aries
In your quest to understand the motives and actions of yourself and others, you are dedicating your energy to seeking wisdom and guidance from the world around you. Listening to your gut will give you the truth you require, but not necessarily tangible evidence to prove your thesis or point. The truth is out there, and there isn’t a rock you’re not looking under to find it.
Taurus
Your ideas are shifting, allowing you to expand your knowledge into areas many dare not explore. The lack of fear urges you to challenge yourself when investigating the deeper mysteries of life. Once you find a dash of significance and insight, your mind will be thirsty for more information, directing you to evolve your take on what you formerly knew.
Gemini
Reinventing how you relate to others revolutionizes your personal connections. If there have been a few situations in the past that made you feel unappreciated, this is your moment to inform these particular individuals that you demand respect and recognition for your efforts, expertise, and kindness. Asserting your intrinsic needs in friendships and partnerships will reawaken and strengthen your confidence.
Cancer
You have high standards—but upon reflection, you’ll see that perfection is an illusion. Letting go of the desire to control, and to show a version of yourself that doesn’t exist, will benefit your well-being. Silencing your inner critic will also benefit your well-being. You’re beautiful the way you are—on the inside and out.
Leo
Embrace your humanitarian side under the new moon. Align with causes and a group of peers whose values resonate with yours for an important mission that speaks to your heart. Infuse the venture with your unique blend of glamour and rizz to help it gain popularity. Your opinion counts and will affect how people choose to donate their time to charity.
