The New Moon on June 6 is the last major lunar phase of spring, but it brings a bright and meaningful new beginning for all signs. While the New Moon is the darkest time of the lunar cycle, this Gemini-ruled New Moon will light up your mind with clever conversations, interesting ideas, and a fresh desire to connect with the world. Of course, understanding the spiritual significance of the June New Moon will give you a deeper understanding of its magic.
The new moon marks the beginning of the monthly lunar cycle and is often considered an auspicious time to make new plans or start a new project. This is because the Moon and Sun meet at the same point in the zodiac during this lunar phase, initiating a new journey between the two luminaries of astrology. June's New Moon will be in the witty air sign of Gemini, so it's injecting some energy into communication, relationships, and information. With the Summer Solstice just a few weeks away, June's New Moon is the last big lunar opportunity of the season to set intentions, and it can help you achieve it with enough mental clarity and open heart.
Understanding the spiritual significance of this new moon will make any lunar manifestation more effective, so read on to get the scoop.
The Spiritual Meaning of the New Moon in Gemini
Gemini is a changeable sign, ruled by scheming Mercury, so its energy is playful, resourceful, and quick-witted. With this New Moon rising in the multifaceted and spiritually active sector of Gemini, the spiritual meaning of the June New Moon is all about putting the pieces of the puzzle in our plans together and finding new information that may well be hiding in plain sight. This energy can inspire you to open yourself up to the small signs, insights, and connections right in front of you, and to interact with your surroundings in a more curious way. You may find that when you do this, you stumble upon bigger, brighter opportunities.
Keeping an open mind is an important part of the lunar atmosphere, but it's also important to have an open heart—that's because just two days before the new moon, a special alignment occurs called the Venus Points (a term coined by Invented by astrologer Ariel Gutman) this refers to the conjunction of Venus and the Sun).
This lucky and romantic aspect is an important time to check in with your values, partnerships, and joys—and once the Moon connects with these two celestial bodies on June 6, you'll feel more emotionally engaged and in alignment with your hearts. Use your head. Watch for new relationships or intellectually stimulating collaborations emerging now.
Another important influence on this new moon is the difficult square to rule-making Saturn. Squares can create challenges, and Saturn's restrictive energy can cause delays, forcing people to work harder to get what they want. However, by harnessing Gemini's cleverness and cunning wiles, you can figure out how to deal with any obstacles that seem to get in the way of your plans and find creative solutions to any difficulties. Under this new moon, a little discipline and commitment can take you far.
How to Harness June’s New Moon Energy
May's Full Moon occurs directly opposite values-oriented Venus. Still, June's new moon forms a near-perfect conjunction with the love planets—so think about what you gave up or decided during the new moon two weeks ago. These events make space in your heart for whatever happens under the new moon, so pay attention to synchronicities and tap into where the energy seems to be flowing.
Speaking of Venus, her strong influence on this new moon makes it perfect for embodying love, partnership, and greater harmony in your relationships. This is an important time to have important conversations with loved ones and lay the foundation for more open, honest and constructive communication. If you're dating, this energy is also great for meeting new people, getting into a more committed phase with someone, or even doing new moon love spells to attract romance.
Finally, if you need to brainstorm for an important project or plan a major goal for the future, this new moon may inspire you to achieve it. That's because Gemini's ruler Mercury is closely aligned with expansive and lucky Jupiter during this new moon, which could spark big, lucrative new ideas. They vibrate with energy planet Pluto, making you feel a stronger desire to take charge of what you're committed to. Working with others can also help you get to where you need to be now, so ask your friends for some help if you need it.
