It's a brand new month, and the first week of June will end with a refreshing New Moon, which will provide an opportunity for all signs to start something new. The new moon rises on June 6, striking the airy, communicative sign of Gemini, putting social and spiritual matters at the forefront. Everyone will experience this new moon differently, so you'll want to know how June's new moon will affect your sign.
This new moon occurs right in the middle of Gemini season. As the Sun and Moon join forces in the realm of this fickle air sign, let this lunar phase inspire you to embrace the Gemini vibe by connecting with your surroundings, sharing and receiving information, and letting your curiosity guide you. The new moon will be closely aligned with relationship-oriented Venus, making this an excellent time to collaborate with others. Do something social or spark a conversation to give your brain something interesting to chew on. Gemini is the sign of the twins, so combining multiple thoughts and perspectives now will produce more exciting and fruitful results than doing something alone.
Remember, not every seed planted now will sprout quickly, as the difficult Moon squares super-responsible Saturn, challenging everyone to be patient and figure out what is worth the effort. This can be a powerful moon phase for new beginnings, but try not to take on too much responsibility by taking on more than you can handle. What you start now has the potential to be lasting and meaningful, but it may take some extra effort and seriousness to get off the ground.
Read on for the June new moon horoscopes for each sign.
Aries (March 21 to April 19):
You are making exciting spiritual and social connections now, but try to focus on quality rather than quantity. Your words can have a lasting impact now, so make sure your heart supports what you say. Remember: true communication is as much about listening as it is about sharing your thoughts, so be open to hearing what those around you have to say about things, too. You might learn a thing or two.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
If you need to boost your bank account, use the energy of this smart and creative new moon to brainstorm ways to diversify your income streams. Whether that looks like booking a meeting with your boss to discuss salary, creating a brand new budget for yourself, or creating a business plan for your new hustle, now is the time to start taking action. Focus on long-term stability and goals that will pay off over time.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20)
This is the annual New Moon in Gemini, so whatever heart and soul you put into it now will serve you well for a long time to come. It's fun to live in the moment, but challenge yourself to imagine what you might want in a longer term way. What steps can you take today to make your future self more successful, more fulfilled, and better equipped? Use it to guide your intentions.
Cancer (June 21 to July 22)
Some self-reflection can go a long way now, so clear your calendar of unnecessary obligations and use this new moon to delve deeper into your thoughts. Light a candle, journal about how you feel, and do your best to open yourself up to whatever your intuition suggests. You have access to more energetic information than your conscious mind realizes, and now is the time to get in touch with it.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
Teamwork can make dreams come true under this new moon, Leo, so use your social skills and good vibes to attract collaborators who can help you achieve your goals. Building a solid community or consistent support system doesn't happen overnight, but if you commit to finding a group of like-minded people who are already on the same level as you, you'll find yourself improving collectively over time.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Sweet talking to the right people at work can really pay off in the long run, Virgo, so use your charm and start making some connections. You have big visions and dreams when it comes to your career, and this new moon can be a powerful time to start tapping into the resources around you to propel you toward your career goals. Be open to receiving support from others – you don’t have to do it alone.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
If you've been craving some spiritual growth or spiritual expansion, this new moon could be of great help - but don't wait for yourself to magically slip into a life-changing paradigm shift. Reach out to people in your life or community who can provide meaningful perspectives and life lessons in your areas of interest. A mentor with real-world experience can get you further than just research.
Scorpio (October 23rd - November 21st)
Scorpio, it's time to address the elephants in the room, whatever they may be to you. With all those unspoken resentments, unfulfilled promises, and unfulfilled desires weighing you down, it’s time to open the door to freedom by facing your fears and speaking your truth. Call the person you need clarification on and let this be the first day of a new, more transparent chapter in your life.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
The new moon forms auspicious angle to romance planet Venus in your chart's relationship sector, so now is the perfect time to find sparks in a potential new partnership, or start a new chapter in an existing one. Just don’t forget that relationships require a certain level of commitment, so dig deep and get clear on what you’re willing to dedicate yourself to and sacrifice for, and what you’re not.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
There's a lot you can do under this spirited Capricorn new moon, so jump into any project that requires you to be productive, or start a new routine to help you focus. Just don’t get so lost in the clutter of your to-do list that you lose sight of the bigger picture. Make sure some of the things you prioritize serve a larger purpose that is as important to you as it is today.
Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)
Creativity is flowing now, and so is romance - so follow your heart's desires and loosen the grip on your life. You're usually very confident in your vision of the world, but this new moon may inspire you in ways you never imagined. A charming stranger might allow you to rediscover your passion, or a burst of artistic energy might prompt you to start an exciting new project. Keep an open mind.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Family is important, and now is the perfect time to address any difficulties that are making you uncomfortable with your family. Extend an olive branch to a loved one with whom you have had disagreements, or be more intentional about connecting with those who have been with you through thick and thin. It's easy to take your closest crew members for granted, but this new moon reminds you to cherish and celebrate every little moment with them.
