The moon and the sun align in the sky once (sometimes twice) a month, resulting in a new moon.
This lunar phase is associated with a dark sky, which can be viewed as a blank slate on which to write your deepest, wildest, and most heartfelt intentions. Every new moon represents a new chapter in an ongoing story that you want to see play out in your daily life. And because it falls in the mutable air sign Gemini, this month’s new moon has an especially cerebral, buzzy, social energy.
Every new moon is an opportunity to become curious about what you want to accomplish over the next six months, then articulate your vision to make it a reality — perhaps by journaling or discussing your game plan with friends. However, because this is a Gemini new moon, you are especially inclined to gather information, engage in lively conversations, listen to others’ perspectives, and write in order to process what you want to achieve. This new moon is all about finding your voice, your sense of curiosity, and whatever mentally energizes you.
This year, the new moon in Gemini will collide with Neptune, the planet of spirituality and mysticism, which will cloud rational thought. As a result, it may be more difficult than usual to know exactly how you’ll make your dream a reality, or even which dream is best — let alone most practical — to focus on. After all, Gemini enjoys juggling a wide range of disparate interests, and Neptune feeds illusions. Nonetheless, this is a time for new beginnings, and the overarching message is that it is time to move forward.

The Spiritual Meaning of the June 18 New Moon in Gemini
Gemini season lasts roughly from May 21 to June 20 each year. The Twins season, which follows the slow, steady, grounded, and creature-comfort-loving Taurus season, brings more excitable, social, high-spirited, and cerebral energy. The mutable air sign is quick-witted, inquisitive, and adaptable, and we’re all encouraged to adopt those characteristics during Gemini season.
We are encouraged to make quick decisions, prioritize learning and new experiences, and listen to what others have to say. After all, Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, is equally adept at listening as it is at speaking. Because Gemini is associated with the third house of communication, which also governs short-distance travel and siblings, all of these areas may be a focus now.
Gemini’s mental energy is off the charts, so the new moon on June 18 lays the groundwork for you to be more in your head than in your body or heart. If you’re attempting to kick-start a large new project, you should think about all of the information sources you’re using and perhaps diversify them. If you want to solve an ongoing relationship problem with a new strategy, consider committing to a lengthy conversation in which all parties can share their perspectives. And, no matter what goal you’re pursuing, try not to get too attached to a specific outcome by relying on the sign’s mutability. There’s a lot of magic in being okay with flitting from one thing to the next, as you’ll discover from Twins energy.

As it falls in your 11th house of networking, this lunation is all about friendships, groups, communities, and audiences you interact with on a regular basis, Leo. You want to feel connected, seen, and supported by your platonic relationships, as well as like you’re making a difference in the lives of others.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The new moon falls in your 10th house of career, Virgo, encouraging you to clarify your professional goals. Your public image is a big priority right now, and your mind is probably racing with a million different tasks, from updating your résumé to working on your social media. However, inner self-work may be the most productive thing you can do right now to support big-picture goals, so consider talking through deep-seated emotions with a therapist.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
The new moon falls in your ninth house of higher learning and adventure, Libra, so you’ll be itching to get out of your comfort zone.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio, the new moon falls in your eighth house of emotional bonds and shared resources, which is familiar territory as it is associated with your sign.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Because this lunation falls in your seventh house of partnership, it’s time to prioritize your one-on-one relationships above all else, Sagittarius.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
With the new moon in your sixth house of wellness and daily routine, you have a clear runway to launch whatever fitness practice or mind-body self-care plan you’ve been considering. Alternatively, because this is also the zone of daily work, you might want to try a new approach to tackling your to-do list at work. In any case, while you enjoy structure and devising long-term plans that can be tackled one step at a time, you’d be wise to allow yourself to experiment now. It could help you become even more successful.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
This new moon falls in your fifth house of romance and self-expression, Aquarius, so you’re feeling particularly creative and possibly flirtatious.
