Your New Moon in Gemini Moonscope June 18 2023

A late-blooming new Moon appears in the mutable sign of the Twins on June 18^th. Duality and divergence are something we can all now explore when it comes to our ideas. This Moon calls on us to express our truth. And to explore the truth of others with an open mind. Interestingly this New Moon has caused division between astrologers, especially when it comes to manifesting, and the truth. The New Moon is square duplicitous and shady Neptune who can encourage us to swim in illusion. We are seeing the truth even if it is challenging. I personally the Neptune square can bring added magic.

If the world had just one point of view it would be pretty vanilla. And we’d have nothing to talk about because we would know we all felt the same way. For a quicksilver-witted Gemini, that’s probably as close a definition of personal hell as you can get.

This is a new Moon where we need to broadcast ourselves, to open our hailing frequencies. And our minds and our ears. It’s not just about the talk but the listening that brings about great conversations. And better understanding between us. Before we launch into the brand new cycle of putting ideas into action, we can daydream the weekend away, daydreams help us create reality!

However, talk can be cheap when it is not backed up by action. This Moon tells us enough of the planning or telling people what we intend to do. It’s time to back up those intentions by taking action. Gemini does not stand still. Nor are they content to just be an arm chair critic or participant in someone else’s story. 

This Moon also asks we all explore the real deal behind procrastination if that’s what we have been falling back on. It’s a truth bringer but not in the blunt way Sagittarius tends to serve it. It simply states the facts. The facts around why we may procrastinate – delay telling someone how we feel, overwork that great idea again and again so we end up doing nothing with it, or simply find excuses as to why this time doesn’t work for us, usually has nothing to do with us being lazy, disorganised or unmotivated. And everything to do with fear. Fear of how our truth or ideas will be received. Fear that we’ll fail at what we set out to do. Or worse – that we will succeed beyond our wildest dreams. The truth about this new Moon – it shows you fears are not facts.

ARIES

How trusting are you when it comes to your emotions, Aries? Do you rationalise them away? Or tell yourself that you honestly should not feel the way you do? Do you allow others to interpret your emotional messages for you? And instead of taking yours as a given, opt for their take instead? Maybe because you want to keep the peace or simply because the seeds of self-doubt have been sown? Consider the source if so.

Your truth is valid. Your ideas want you to stand by them. It’s one thing to offer you feedback. Another entirely to dismiss what you are saying. Is there a history between you and someone else of this happening? Time to out that if so.

Stand by what you say and now – run with it, Aries. Heart on your sleeve, mind afire with possibilities. Don’t leave anything unsaid or idea unexplored. No more sitting on that stroke of genius project or plan. Be open to discovering just what it could do. Move forward with curiosity, confidence and above all, trust in your own truth. If anyone wants to shut you down or silence you, it may be time for a little truth between you as well. Put plans in motion. Because of all the new Moons, this is the best one of the year which blesses them with completion. You have the positive spin of the cosmos enhancing whatever you say, Aries. 

TAURUS

Money talks. But it don’t laugh and sing and it don’t walk. Lines from the 70’s hit Together in Blue Jeans by Neil Diamond. Symbolic, as Diamond himself was hardly ever seen wearing them. But that vibe about what money can and can’t buy you is what the new Moon in your 2^nd of money serves up. 

So, most of us at one time or another will indulge in the fantasy about what we would buy if we won the lottery. Statistically, you are more likely to be struck by lightning or be elected PM than snag that jackpot. Still, no matter the odds sooner or later, somebody wins and we can’t help imagining it’s us. What’s on that list, Taurus? What would you do? At this point, again, most people recite a shopping list. Prada’s entire summer collection. Big, shiny supercar. House on Nob Hill. Cocktails on the superyacht. Variations on a theme. But that’s just what you would buy. Not what you would do.

That’s the difference between money talking. And all the rest. What this new Moon wants you to feel and ultimately experience, is the laughing, singing and walking. Well, again, maybe not literally. What money enables you to do. Not the stuff. That’s extra sprinkles. Not the ice cream and certainly not the waffle cone either. This new Moon often impels us to get inventive and experiment with fresh ways to channel more of the folding stuff our way. And chances are, we’ll be banking on the way that works out – literally. But once you get the results – know what you’re going to do with it, Taurus. That’s when it starts talking happiness.

GEMINI

Hello, lover! Are you in love with your life or the anticipation of what lies ahead for you in the coming year? Because you should be!

No matter when your birthday falls, the day the Gemini new Moon appears is always the start of your new astrological cycle. In the next two weeks, expect the emergence of something fresh, a new beginning and a new you to go along with this.

Time to show how you celebrate yourself. Or the person you are now in the process of becoming. This new Moon is packed with Fab Five potential when it comes to an extreme make-over or fabulization. You can change how others see you and even how you see yourself. Look at any disconnect between the person you feel you are and what you see in the mirror. How can you bring these into alignment? And better communicate your splendour? 

Seeing yourself as lovable, seeking out the best version of you and showcasing that isn’t narcissism or vanity. If you can’t love yourself, you not only can’t love someone else, but chances are others reflect that lack of self-love too. And no, you don’t need to break the bank doing it. Self-love means loving yourself too much to put yourself in debt. You are the ideas sign of the zodiac so you’ll find a way to get drop dead gorgeous on a budget. And knowing you, gain 100,000 followers when you share the process.

 The past year has changed you. Celebrate that and now the new you that’s ready for the cycle that’s emerging. Yes, sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. Leave them speechless.

CANCER

Ahead of your new cycle, the new Moon in your 12^th tells you its time to go within, unplug, detox and explore your secret self. The card of the Four of Swords is perfectly aligned to the energy of this most subtle of all new Moons. It shows a figure who has voluntarily retreated from the world. They know this is temporary and are at peace with this process. They don’t fight against it. It’s a necessary period of soul rebooting and physical/spiritual/material decluttering.

What do you need to release? Chances are your higher self is being quite clear about this, Cancer. Anything from outdated beliefs, toxic tapes and things that hold you back. Something may once have offered comfort, support, emotional sustenance. But if you are totally honest with yourself, you know its actually turned into a golden handcuff situation or is keeping you stuck.

The only way we arrive at the truth around what we need to do – and the courage to do it, is to step away from distractions and must-do’s. And instead realign with universal wisdom and healing. So, don’t be afraid to take all the time you need with this process, Cancer.

You certainly need to prioritise down-time if you feel you’re running on empty and have done for a while now. This is a house in your chart where your ruler actually feels right at home. It amplifies your intuitive, psychic skills, turns you into a dreamwalker who lucidly gathers messages from their night excursions. Keep your dream journal handy. Or start one if you haven’t yet. And write down what you remember the moment you wake up. Don’t wait until morning. In your dreams lie vital clues about what you dare to dream for yourself for the coming cycle. And what you need to let go of in order to clear the way towards it.

LEO

New Moon goals and wishes always get that extra blessing boost with the new Moon in your 11^th, Leo. But it’s no use simply wishing for dreams to come true. You have to bring some kind of follow-through. You can begin with anything from a vision board to goal journal. Clip it, draw it, picture it, write it down. And get as creative as you like doing this. The more you infuse this with fun, the more you activate attraction.

This is also your most social new Moon. It’s desire for you is to share what makes you shiny and unique with others. Why deny the world your radiance? Surely you of all signs aren’t shy when it comes to that, Leo?! We all lead busy lives. And it’s easy to get so caught up in the every day business of simply living, how long it’s been since we called or caught up with a friend, can come as a shock. Or we are simply too busy to notice our social circle contracting. Until it’s shrunk to a full stop.

Call, message and reach out. Don’t let guilt trip you into doing nothing. Everyone is in the same boat so they get Life Happens. Innovate, evolve and invent under this new Moon. Any area you defibrillate or inject with some heart-starting adrenalin – be it that flagging social life or a goal, rewards. You should see it start to come alive within two weeks. But anything you leave to languish – those dreams, that love life, your connections, stays couch-bound for a very long time now. If you can visualise it, you can make it happen.

VIRGO

Do you feel like a winner, Virgo? It’s all in the mindset under the new Moon in your house of status, reputation and serious boss moves. You’ve the lean in and the can do. Double threat sign. Self-belief, walking the walk and above all, talking your talk with integrity, add up to winning moves.

This is your ‘public’ house. Where you get elevated. So, think of yourself as on show. Even that on-line presence is part of this. So, every move you make, every post you create – is an important one. In front of an audience you definitely want to impress. No pressure, Virgo.

Level up with that self-belief and those ambitions. We know you got game, Virgo. Because you put in the practice. You know there’s no short cuts. 

However, this Moon isn’t just about those ambitions. So, don’t get fixated on them. What it wants for you deep down is for you to crack open any hard casing you have created around your soft heart and your vulnerabilities. It’s about becoming a successful human being to quote Derek Zoolander. Surely that’s something worth attaining? Look closely at where you have had to get self-protective due to dealing with the cold, cold hearts of others. This Moon doesn’t want anyone to succeed at the expense of their humanity and cost of love. You are lovable right NOW. You don’t have to become a dot com billionaire first to get the love you deserve. Write a new kind of success story, Virgo.

LIBRA

Emotionally a little on the down-low, Libra? Here’s the new Moon where you come bouncing back!   Of all the new Moons of the year – aside from the one in your 1^st, this one is the most heart-starting.

So, what will you start, Libra? Only it had better be something big, Grand gestures only please. Reach higher. A big plan, pursuit of a big love or big adventure. No small moves or careful colouring inside the lines for you. Leave that to the Virgos next door. 

Stretch yourself and go for it. Apply for that position, take that trip, big up those expectations. Above all, you must set the energy in motion by taking a step towards what you want. Unless you engage with this energy, you will stay where you are. But set the wheels in motion, and watch how the universe takes this and turns your actions into a perpetual motions engine generating the people, solutions and opportunities that now magically appears on your path. You will begin to see the results between now and the full Moon in two weeks time. Do try this and see.

This is a fabulous new Moon under which to travel or plan that big trip. Again, no small plans. I’m not talking about a week in the Costa del Sol. Think in terms of that safari or Antarctic cruise. That bucket list destination you’ve always sighed over and dreamed of one-day visiting. The energy of this new Moon means that even if you can’t pack your bags right now, simply planning and researching under it, ups your chances of taking it within a realistic time frame (such as ‘24-’25). The same applies to any big dream you nurture. Bring it out from the down-low and get ready to live it, Libra.

SCORPIO

Let’s talk about a new Moon in your 8^th. Deep, obsessive, focussed, sexy. Yes, all of that. Now let’s throw in even more intense aspects. The ones other astrologers leave out. Passionate. Loyal. Creative. Deep. Committed. Caring. All that too, Phoenix!

You will crave reciprocation of the same kind of feelings in a partner. This new Moon is often a litmus test for a new relationship. You get to see who the other party actually is in a relationship. And whether or not they can step up and match your feels. If they are revealed to be superficial or unable to meet you halfway, the connection is unlikely to go much further. You crave depth, understanding, alchemy. Are they capable of delivering and matching all you are so ready to give?

Too much is made of this new Moon’s link to money and shared assets. Not that it doesn’t or can’t. This is a house containing energy you are all too familiar with as your sign is the 8^th house of the natural zodiac. So, shared assets and power money. Your salary, benefits, payouts, loans, investments, mortgages, taxes, insurances and that joint account or home you share with that significant other. 

This Moon triggers these themes. It can open up access to the vault in other words. Where you have more at your disposal. A better paying job. A pay rise. A bonus. Someone gives you access to what they have – maybe not money but their time, connections, influence. Your application for a loan is granted. If you find yourself with more at your disposal in the next two weeks, take it you have been sent it as the universe wants to see how you manage it or deal with it. It’s a test in thinking richer and also yes, your integrity. Seeing as the latter is one of your most precious values, you got this, Scorpio!

SAGITTARIUS

You need that significant other. That partner in crime. That fellow free spirit or mischief maker. If you are lucky enough to already have them in your life, the new Moon in your 7^th marks a new phase in your relationship. The best way to maximise its loved-up potential is to make a plan or a goal to jointly go for. Those who dream together, tend to stay together for the long haul. 

Two hearts heading in the same direction is what you crave. This can be a bestie, an activity partner, collaborator or working dynamic. It honestly doesn’t matter. What matters is it takes two and you need to feel you are part of some kind of double act dynamic. If there is an open position in your life now, do take whatever steps you can to fill it. Whatever feels right for you. If that dating app doesn’t – then don’t go there. It’s that simple. But do turn that invisible soul sign over so it reads ‘Open for Business’. And then be equally open to the form that partner appears in.

Let those you know know you are seeking. Very often others may think we are quite happy flying solo so dismiss making introductions. The same applies to finding a goal or activity buddy. Put it out there. Tell your circle. Sure, the person may come to you another way. But it sets the energy in motion.

Above all, be ready to give all of you when someone does appear. And you may be delighted when this open-heartedness is reciprocated. Time for no-limits love, Sag. But is there any other kind for you?

CAPRICORN

Got a pitch, Cappy? Your attention to detail makes it simply irresistible. The new Moon in your sector of work and wellbeing makes this the ideal window for selling – anything from that product or service – to yourself. Get applying if a new job is on your To Do list. 

You’re taking your work ethic to a new dimension in the coming month. But please, don’t ignore the self-care aspect which needs to go along with this. That attention to detail means you need to schedule in all-important down-time. Pace yourself because burn-out isn’t a good look. And its also counterproductive to all you want to achieve.

Don’t let your obsession with perfection tip into OCD or nit-picking however. Especially on the domestic front. Those you live with may not appreciate it. Your boo decides to delight you with a saucy outfit. But you have to mention they forgot to shave their legs. You keep nagging they left that dirty coffee mug on the counter top – again. Or squeezed the toothpaste from the middle of the tube. And then wonder why there’s a chilly atmosphere in the bedroom all of a sudden? Don’t go there!

Do you need help? Because this new Moon is actually one of the hardest under which to ask for it. Your drive and desire to deliver means even if you no longer got this, you are reluctant to admit it. This applies to tasks at home as well as work. Do delegate and ask for help if needed. No, that doesn’t make you any less capable, Capricorn. It actually makes you more so. Love your routines under this new Moon. But don’t fall into a rut. Especially all by yourself.

AQUARIUS

Here comes your gimme, gimme, gimme new Moon, Aquarius! Gimme what? Well, MORE of course! More of the good stuff. Romance, sparkles, joy, pleasure, attention, bliss. 

Look to where you may block your own flow. All the above are valid spiritual experiences. And as an evolving soul, you need to have them. No, dismiss the idea that this is indulgence. Along with the more insidious one that life isn’t meant to be easy. 

Your emotional journey for the upcoming month should be one of ease and effortless attraction. And if it isn’t – you do need to stop and look at where you need to get out of your own way, Aquarius. Or your ideas around loving and being loved. By the cosmos as well as people!

Pluto is forging you in the fires of transformation now. And this includes seeing yourself as oh-so-worthy of the good things in life. Know it or not, you are pretty inspiring now. Your emotional aura which includes loyalty, passion, creativity and unconditional giving elevates those around you. 

And don’t forget – like attracts like. A new love, opportunities, a chance to be seen and applauded, sought out and included, good times and indulgences are drawn to you. This new Moon allows you to make your very best and lasting impression on people. Whether its for romance or in other areas. Don’t lurk in the shadows of lack, Aquarius. So much more awaits you in the light.

PISCES

The new Moon in your 4^th (the Moon’s ruling house), super-charges your intuitive, empathic and creative abilities. Take it you are super-sensitised over the next two weeks, Pisces. These heightened secret senses make you highly attuned to the needs of others. In fact, you may know what they want before they know it themselves. ‘Are you a mind-reader?’ may be a question you get asked. Pretty much right now.

Do however ensure that you keep strong boundaries in place. Because you are so permeable and open, it may be hard to know where you end and someone else begins. You can mistake someone else’s emotional state for yours. Or be so affected by theirs, you carry it around with you for hours or even days. Yes, it could be pink bubble time. Visualising that energy surrounding you and anything you don’t need to feel simply bouncing off it. But you remaining your compassionate, listening and thoughtful self.

This is also a splendid new Moon under which to look at what you need to let go of. The opposite of being there for people is actually clinging so tight and being over-protective to the point they can’t fly solo. The most obvious example is the helicopter parent. But this can occur in any relationship dynamic and between adults. You stop being a lover and end up as mother. Or you cast your partner in that role. Perhaps you are the grown-up child who has failed to launch. Time to spread your wings if so. This Moon asks you live your life on your terms. Fully fledged and ready to soar, Pisces!
