Summer is right around the corner, and everyone’s booked and busy! Leave it to a Mercury-ruled season to get the ball rolling with calendar invites and general miscellanies, but if you’re wondering how the new moon in Gemini will affect each zodiac sign during June 2023, be sure to keep your eyes peeled as there will be an influx of information to consider moving forward. Mercury is also buzzing through its sign of rulership, which makes things all the more fast-paced and mentally stimulating.
Our friendly neighborhood Gemini is the first air sign in the zodiac. Swift and savvy, its mutable modality speaks to this air sign’s mental agility, and sparkling intellect. When considering the divine order of the zodiac wheel, it’s after we get in touch with our five senses (during Taurus season) that we’re ready to experience our surroundings with a newly found perspective, which is where Gemini season comes into play. For reference, check which astrological house belongs to this mutable air sign in your birth chart. This is where you’re more likely to indulge your curiosities, or simply overthink things more than you should. On a brighter note, this is the area of life where you’re likely most comfortable harnessing your duality, and/or have a way with words.
Now let’s take a closer look at the astrology of this month’s new moon, as well as the significance of this lunar phase. Deeply mysterious and often overlooked by its lack of visibility, the new moon is equally as fertile as it is supercharged, considering it also marks the beginning of a brand-new lunar cycle. This occurs when the sun joins forces with the moon via the same degree of a zodiac sign. Let’s not forget the moon represents our emotional foundation, while the sun symbolizes our ego and physical identity. The divine synergy of the two luminaries is precisely what makes this lunar phase so incredibly potent.
The new moon in Gemini takes place on June 18 at 12:32 a.m. ET
This year’s new moon in Gemini will take place on June 18 at exactly 12:32 a.m. ET. Renewing itself via 26 degrees of this curious air sign, it’s important to point out the pattern we’ve been seeing with the past new moons, as they’ve repeatedly activated the later degrees of their prospective signs. And though there’s an air of finality to these astrological degrees, it’s simultaneously bringing awareness to what needs to be closed out of our lives. For instance, when considering Gemini’s archetype, this could revolve around a mindset you’re no longer resonating with, or perhaps a familiar energy within your immediate surroundings.
Either way, you’re gaining insight and likely seeing both sides of a situation, which is helpful for those who are in the midst of change. New information is headed our way, and with a new-found perspective, we will have the clarity needed to make the necessary adjustments. On a fuzzier note, this lunation will be at odds with ambiguous Neptune, which is where the energy could potentially trigger feelings of restlessness and/or uncertainty. In other words, getting the answers you’ve been seeking could bring up more questions, and doubts. However, this is where we’re being encouraged to be still and surrender the need to overanalyze.
Sounds contradicting when considering Gemini’s cerebral nature, but if there’s ever been a good time to harness the duality of this air sign, it’s right now. And though your intuitive and logical mind are bound to challenge one another at this time, it’s up to you to find a healthy balance between the two. Let your thoughts simmer, but don’t overlook what you intuitively know to be true.
Here’s what you can expect from the upcoming new moon in Gemini, according to your sun and/or rising sign (and seriously, you’re missing out if you don’t read these horoscopes for your rising sign):

Aries
Cheers to your clean slate. The moon is renewing itself via the inquisitive sign of Gemini, charging up your third house of immediate surroundings and interpersonal affairs. Here comes a newfound perspective, specifically when it comes to themes surrounding your neighbors, peers and/or local community. And with chatty Mercury in the mix, this information could come in quickly. While at odds with foggy Neptune, however, you could be equally enlightened as you are concerned about next steps. Try to hold space for your intuition, as opposed to prioritizing the facts you seek. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Taurus
Chin up. The new moon is touching down on your second house of rulership, bringing fertility and new beginnings to everything from your sense of security to your money-making abilities. Keep in mind, both Mars and your celestial ruler, Venus, continue to activate your domestic fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations, suggesting the possibility of this involving a sibling, relative and/or your humble abode. On another note, Luna will be making an ambiguous square to Neptune, adding a foggy layer of restlessness to the mix, but things are not what they seem. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Gemini
This one’s for you, Gemini! But in addition to the sun and moon joining forces in your sign, you have your intellectual planetary ruler, Mercury, brainstorming and problem-solving on your behalf. Moreover, both Mars and Venus are currently lighting up your communication sector, which means you have both the courage and confidence to relay the necessary messages. On a more ambiguous note, however, Luna will simultaneously face off with elusive Neptune in your 10th house of authority. Despite your desire to take the lead, you could be feeling uncertain about next steps. Don’t let your lack of clarity derail you. Reflect on your recent accomplishments instead. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Cancer
With the moon renewing itself via the most private sector of your chart, you’re being presented with an opportunity to heal and start again. This could revolve around your self-dialogue and/or an outdated mindset that no longer serves you, so it’s important to reflect on what you’re allowing yourself to surrender at this time. Make peace with what you’re releasing, and hold space for the infinite possibilities ahead. Granted while in a square to hazy Neptune, this lunation could trigger feelings of restlessness… but instead of hyper focusing on what you’re logistically preparing behind the scenes, you’re better off going with the flow. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Leo
Whether through social media or the grapevine, you’re likely receiving important news at this time. Renewing itself via your socially conscious 11th house of associations, community affairs and future visions, there is an opportunity for you to connect with like-minded individuals who share similar hopes and dreams. This is especially true with both Mars and Venus sizzling through your fixed fires, as you are just as charismatic as you are assertive at this time. The catch, however, could potentially stem from Luna’s square to Neptune, as there could be a lack of clarity around your shared resources and contractual agreements. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Virgo
You’re gaining awareness of your role as a professional, as well as the resources that are available to you in terms of career. This is especially true with the moon renewing itself in Gemini, not to mention with your celestial ruler, Mercury, also charging up this area of your life. On another note, with both Mars and Venus dazzling your secretive 12th house of secrets and unconscious patterns, you could be deeply passionate about this new endeavor and yet, consciously choose to keep your fire under wraps. Luna’s square to Neptune in your relationship sector could also trigger feelings of confusion in your one-on-one relationships and/or contractual agreements. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Libra
You’re back in your element, and you’re likely in awe of the opportunities available to you at this time. This is especially true with the moon renewing itself in your sister-sign Gemini, via your expansive ninth house of higher education and self-discovery, but there’s more. Mercury is also stimulating this area of your chart, and all while Mars and your celestial ruler, Venus, dazzle your 11th house of social networks. Networking with classmates? Contemplating where to travel with your friends next? Luna will square off with Neptune in your sixth house of routines, so chances are you’ll be unclear about the logistics. Take a moment to pause before you go down the rabbit hole of indecision. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Scorpio
To invest, or not to invest. That is the question, Scorpio. After all, with the moon renewing itself in Gemini—your intimate eighth house of shared resources and other sources of income—chances are, you’re gaining significant insight around a potential gig, if not a parental figure’s inheritance. For instance, your co-ruler, Mars, is sitting together with Venus in your 10th house of career and authority, which means the majority of your energy is being directed towards your professional life, if not your actual legacy in the world. The catch? Luna will face off with elusive Neptune, creating feelings of confusion and uncertainty. This could be about a passion project, if not your personal branding. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Sagittarius
There are new beginnings on the way, specifically when pertaining to your one-on-one relationships, and contractual agreements. This could come with a series of conversations and/or important documents, given the influence of chatty Mercury in this area of your chart. Moreover, with your celestial ruler, Jupiter, charging up your sixth house of day-to-day routines, you could be contemplating next steps in the workplace, if not responsibilities in your daily life. Granted, with Mars and Venus charging up your ninth house of adventure, you’re likely as confident as ever when it comes to your desires, but Luna’s square to Neptune could also be the reason why you’re second guessing things. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Capricorn
Luna is renewing itself in Gemini, bringing fertility and nourishment to your sixth house of health habits, work routines and your day-to-day lifestyle. Whether it be a new fitness regimen you’re interested in exploring, or due diligences pending in the realm of responsibility, Mercury is supporting you mentally, socially and intellectually. In other words, you have the resources to help you make the necessary adjustments. On another note, however, the moon will face off with perplexing Neptune, and this could create feelings of confusion and/or restlessness, specifically when it comes to your siblings, neighbors and immediate surroundings. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Aquarius
Your sparkling intellect is your money-maker, Aquarius. Speaking of which, the moon is renewing itself in your festive fifth house of love, celebration, recognition and passion projects, and all while its ruler (Mercury) adds a layer of savvy credibility and mental stimulation. Did I mention both Mars and Venus are currently charging up your relationship sector? It’s all eyes on you, and you’re as passionate about your contractual agreements as ever. Whether personally or in terms of your professional life, the moon’s square to Neptune adds a layer of uncertainty and insecurity, mainly when in regards to your finances and sense of self-worth. Things aren’t what they seem, so don’t let the unknown cloud your vision, or take away from your self-confidence. Read your full monthly horoscope here.
Pisces
If you’re not rearranging your living space, then you could be in the process of relocating. This is especially true with the moon renewing itself in chatty Gemini, via your fourth house of home, family and emotional foundations. Others of you could be in the process of dealing with important contracts, if not partaking in small talk with relatives. Keep in mind, your ruler, Neptune, continues to hover over your sign, and it will also be squaring off with this lunation, which means it’s important to be mindful of projections and illusions in the home front. Whether from you or towards a loved one, you are bound to lack clarity around a personal situation at this time. No, this doesn’t mean you’re doomed. The fog will clear in due time.
