June 2024 comes with a mentally-active Gemini New Moon and a focused Capricorn Full Moon. What will these do for us? What is a New Moon?
A New Moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact same position in the Zodiac (called a conjunction). New Moons are related to beginnings, have high energy, and are enthusiastic.
What is a Full Moon?
A Full Moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). Full Moons are related to endings, culminations, and are emotional energy.
New Moon in Gemini: June 6th 2024 (8:38AM ET/5:38AM PT)
Gemini is the sign of the mind, so the Gemini New Moon stimulates mental energy, and makes us more engaged, expressive, and communicative. We can connect with our minds, ideas can flow, and we can take action with our plans. We can share what we're thinking, and information can be passed along. It's a good time for learning anything, sharing knowledge, writing, or speaking.
Gemini is an active air and mutable sign, so we can be especially active with a Gemini New Moon. We want a variety of projects and ideas to focus on, and we can go from one thing to the next quickly. We can get bored more easily, so we need to keep ourselves and our minds occupied. Jupiter is now in Gemini with this New Moon in Gemini, and this means we can have lots of new opportunities with our ideas and our plans, we're way more optimistic and expansive, and we have a good view of the big picture. We can think bigger and brighter, and we can take chances on our ideas. The New Moon is conjunct (aligned with) transit (moving) Venus in Gemini and widely square (challenging aspect, 3 signs away) transit Saturn in Pisces. The conjunction to Venus means we've got some help working with others, and we may benefit from our connections. Opportunities can pop up that allow us to work with others, and we can make new commitments and arrangements. We can take verbal agreements more seriously, and can pay close attention to the conversations we have with others. Venus also helps to ground our minds a little bit. The square to Saturn might bring some challenges with having disciplined minds and maintaining our focus. We may want to let our minds wander a little too much at times, and we may not want to get down to the nitty-gritty reality. We have to make sure we're seeing what we need to and being as realistic as we need to be, without being pessimistic. The New Moon occurs at 16 degrees 18 minutes Gemini. The aspects to the New Moon are: Conjunction: 14 degrees 18 minutes - 18 degrees 18 minutes Gemini Sextile: 14 degrees 18 minutes - 18 degrees 18 minutes Aries or Leo Square: 14 degrees 18 minutes - 18 degrees 18 minutes Virgo or Pisces Trine: 14 degrees 18 minutes - 18 degrees 18 minutes Libra or Aquarius Opposition: 14 degrees 18 minutes - 18 degrees 18 minutes Sagittarius Full Moon in Capricorn: June 21st 2024 (9:08PM ET/6:08PM PT)
Capricorn is the height of the Zodiac, the highest point and Zenith, and this means it relates to our goals, our aspirations, what we strive for, and the heights we reach in life. With Full Means being times of culmination and results, the Capricorn Full Moon is usually a time when we see the results of hard and smart work, and we can reach new heights, achieve, and succeed if we've done things the right way and for the right reasons. This can come with new responsibilities, but we can handle it if we make sure to give ourselves enough room to breathe.
If we haven't done things the right way or for the right reasons, we can experience setbacks, delays, and ourgith failure, and this can be a trying time for managing responsibilities. We may lack discipline and focus, and we can feel like we're being crushed under the weight of it all. We have to find a new approach, see what we need to fix or do differently, or change our objective altogether. This is the first of two Full Moons in a row in Capricorn, and the next on July 21st is at 29 degrees Capricorn. When we have two consecutive lunations in a row in the same sign, they usually tie into one another, and developments begin with the first and end or culminate with the second. This means that whatever passes with this Capricorn Full Moon can continue into July, and is a steady focus for the next month. We have to make sure we're being smart, focused, responsible, and wise, especially since the next Capricorn Full Moon is anaretic (29 degrees), and the end or culmination is likely to be quite big and important. This Full Moon comes right after Ceres, dwarf planet of nourishment, support, and resources, turns retrograde in Capricorn. A body is called retrograde when it appears to move backward in astrology, and this tends to throw the energy of it off. With Ceres, this can mean we're thrown off with resources, support, and nourishment, and we may see issues with money, food, or possessions in the world at large. Capricorn rules governments, politics, and corporations, so likely to be a trying time for them too. Ceres is still retrograde for the next Capricorn Full Moon as well, so the developments we're focusing on likely tie into this Ceres retrograde. Focus on where you're feeling insecure, lack support, or are having challenges with resources, and work to find a way around, tackle core issues, or find wiggle room. The Full Moon is widely opposite transit Venus in Cancer, and this might bring some issues with others. The Gemini New Moon works well with others, but this Full Moon, not so much! We have to make sure we're being considerate and thoughtful of others, while also making sure we're not being doormats. That delicate balance needs to be struck since we're likely to be strong one way or the other, and that doesn't help anyone. The Full Moon occurs at 1 degrees 7 minutes Capricorn. Aspects to the Full Moon are: Conjunction: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 3 degrees 7 minutes Capricorn Sextile: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 3 degrees 7 minutes Scorpio or Pisces Square: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 3 degrees 7 minutes Aries or Libra Trine: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 3 degrees 7 minutes Taurus or Virgo Opposition: 0 degrees 0 minutes - 3 degrees 7 minutes Cancer Suggested Reading: The New & Full Moons page for general interpretations by house and aspect Comments are closed.
