16° Gemini 18'

June 6, 2024 — A Gemini New Moon forms on Thursday, exactly conjunct Venus, planet of love, while squaring constrictive Saturn. Venus just reached her star point, and we are in a moment of deep reflection around relationships, peace, creativity, mindset, and values. Saturn is showing us our blocks, helping us become more deliberate and intentional as we make our dreams real and begin a new chapter.

What old patterns are we dismantling and leaving behind? What new projects, relationships, or perspectives are we ready to build? Where do we need to gather the courage to change our minds?

If we’ve been lacking confidence, or if our happiness has been too bound to other people, now is the time for hard work and breakthrough. We’re strengthening our sense of self, understanding that our primary reference point is inside of us. We’re becoming more autonomous, disrupting the tendency to internalize other people’s projections or neuroses.

A stellium of planets is now gathered in Gemini, and we may feel overwhelmed by current events, new connections, information, or our own wild minds. It’s time to meditate, exercise, and go into nature, balancing our increased mental energies with stillness and intuition. We can allow ourselves space to settle amid the sea of words, dislodging any mental rigidity or dogma. Sharp questions and intelligent voices are helping us steer the ships to a saner reality. Peace is possible as we continue dreaming big while challenging old paradigms and harmful beliefs.

This New Moon ultimately marks an exciting moment. Burgeoning hope and optimism lie just beneath the chaos. We are walking across the threshold into a new version of our selves, relationships, and lives—we only have to slow down and make sure we are acting with integrity and foresight.

Beyond the drama and suffering of this human experience, there’s always a stream of unconditional love, luminosity, and interconnection helping us release our grips of fear and surrender to the flow. If something isn’t right for us, it might be falling away. If we feel sad, confused, or overwhelmed, we can sit up straight and open our hearts, trusting that the planets are leading us someplace that feels more like home.

Gemini New Moon Aspiration

On this Gemini New Moon, may we still our spinning minds and relax into our unfolding. May we feel courage and hope as we enter the next iteration of our lives, marked by higher resonances of freedom, clarity, and love.
