At 7:54pm Pacific Time (UTC -7) on June 14, 2026, we have a new moon in Gemini. This one feels particularly activating and motivating. For many of you, whatever ideas that have been springing up may feel more tangible right now than they did even just a week ago. This could have been propelled by the benefic conjunction (i.e. Jupiter and Venus were meeting!) earlier this week wherein new ideas sprung forth. Or, you could be feeling relief and more spaciousness now that the Saturn and Mercury square has passed and that heaviness and tension has lifted. Either way, this particular moon feels brighter and fresher. And boy, does it FEEL things.
This is the first Gemini New Moon to host a rebellious Uranus in quite a while (since 1949!). It begs to shake things up and will poke at your weak spots. Secondly, the lunation is ruled by a Mercury in Cancer. This new moon wants you to be in your body, where you are presently, in accordance to your physiology and emotions. If you’ve been under the weather because of sickness or a chronic illness flare up, please make sure you’re hydrating, getting enough sleep, and doing anything else you need to do to heal. If you were thrown for a loop and had some sort of interpersonal tussle, be honest with yourself about your wounds. Feel your hurt and surprise and confusion and don’t shy away from those truths.
Then, pay attention to your desires. And follow through with at least one of them. Now, “desire” doesn’t have to be your greatest hopes and wishes, but it should be something that’s true to you. It could be as simple as making time to nap and/or to get off (know what your desire feels like!). It could be as clear allowing yourself to indulge in a hobby (dig out that WIP!). Or, it really could be as major as finally working on that Big Dream™️ that you’ve had forever. Whatever the case is, what’s coming up right now? Just honor your desires this one time. And if you have quite a list, just remember that you have to start SOMEWHERE, so make it easy on yourself and just pick one!
To help narrow things down, let’s see what my Refract & Reflect Oracle deck had to say.
As always, it’s best to read for your rising sign if you know it, but you may also find some guidance from reading for your Sun, Moon, and any other big placement right now.
Aries: lover
There is sweetness somewhere close by, but you have to go out to find it. You don’t have to go far either: your local haunts will have something for you. If you’re a little impatient, there’s nothing stopping you from injecting that bit of romance into your usual routine yourself.
Taurus: masks
This month, practice your poker face. Don’t play your hand too soon or too eagerly, especially when it comes to work. It will behoove you to learn as much as you can before making an decision that could impact how you stay resourced (both emotionally and financially).
Gemini: sacred space
Who you are is influenced by your environment. Cull accordingly. It’s your season to reinvent yourself, how you’re seen, and what you want to do in this world! So how does your space (and those in it) accommodate for that? Does your workspace allow for the work you want to do? Do you have people who you can trust when you need a soundboard? If not, it’s time to create that slice of safety.
Cancer: higher calling
You can’t ignore the signs forever. Right now, they may be subtle, but they’re around you, you just gotta make time for facilitating that. Meditation, journaling, silent walks- try something that allows you to clear away the daily noise. A little alone time can yield a lot of surprises.
Leo: delays
If you’ve been working towards something and still waiting on the results, take a break within your community. Think: the friends of friends, coworkers, the people you see at the library or community center often, not your closest peeps. Explore what this broader network has to offer overall. Meaning, not merely in terms of progressing towards your goal but in helping you make the most of the time that you have right now.
Virgo: take notes
It’s a new moon with your ruling planet in their other domicile, so let Mercury do what they do best: learn. They love information. This is a lunation where you’ll benefit from researching something new, or going deeper, especially if it related to a vocation. Think about something you want to take with you into the future (at least a few years from now). Think about something you want to feel pride over. Take it seriously but don’t make it boring!
Many thanks to my ko-fi members and supporters!
Your generosity does not go unseen!
Libra: anchor
Make memories that you can always return to. Explore! Experiment! If you can, travel to the places you’ve been dreaming about. If you can’t do that immediately, then learn about them: watch documentaries, read stories set in those places, or scour social media for more information about them.
Scorpio: armor
You do not have to– nor should you– share everything with everyone you meet. Reserve your precious ideas and big dreams for those who have proven themselves trustworthy. This is especially true if it’s anything that goes against the mainstream. Paint a picture and/or a persona that allows you to move through your day unbothered to protect you if need be: e.g. if you’ve been learning astrological magic, tell people you’ve been reading more mythology and looking into art history instead. (And if you are learning astro magic, you should definitely be doing that too!)
Sagittarius: flow
Whether they are platonic, professional, familial, or romantic, relationships are built between two people, each with their own needs, desires, and limitations. We cannot force the other person to move at a pace they aren’t ready for. We cannot ask them to provide what they’re unable to give right now. If we want to deepen a relationship with someone, we have to meet them where they’re at so that both of us can find the current and flow harmoniously. And note: “harmoniously” doesn’t mean “equally” or “steadily.” Honor seasonal ebbs and flows.
Capricorn: aim true
To build the life you want, you have to be clear on what it is you actually want. And emphasis on “want.” This is about embodied desires! When you know how you want to feel, what you want to create, what you want to experience in your daily life, structuring your day to facilitate the inevitability of that life will become clearer. Make a list of everything you want right now and then ask yourself if your daily habits allow for that.
Aquarius: teacher
If this Gemini new moon has given you a plethora of things to think about or ideas to pursue to the point of analysis paralysis, make time to be in nature and in your body. Look at the flora and fauna that surround you and see what you can learn from them just from observation. If you have pets, spend extra time just chilling out with them: notice them just do their thing being present. Eat a meal without watching a youtube video or reading your feed; just enjoy the flavors and textures. Allow your mind to relax and loosen its grip on trying to find a solution or conclusion.
Pisces: witch
The magic of your home can radiate throughout every other part of your life. Clear out the clutter, rearrange the furniture, and repair the damage. Work with what you have before bringing in something new… pull out the craft supplies, go through your closet, unearth the TBR book pile, and see what’s at your disposal. What can you create?
If you feel overwhelmed by everything right now, please know you’re not alone. One way to get your bearings back is to just list some things you know to be true: e.g. something about yourself; a quality you love about someone dear to you; a video game release you’re excited about.
Start small and just write. Mercury will get the message and help you work through it.
