Fox Sir: Gemini New Moon on June 18
This is not a wishing guide.
On June 18 at noon, the Sun and Moon form an exact conjunction in Gemini, marking the Gemini New Moon. Unlike the Full Moon, which represents endings and culminations, the New Moon is typically seen as a new beginning. However, it’s important to note that both New and Full Moons are lunar phenomena, governed by the Moon. Unlike the powerful Sun or the transformative outer planets that force us to confront our insignificance, lunar events are all about the internal drama.
The Nature of Lunar Influences
In simple terms, you can completely ignore both New and Full Moons if you choose. This is why I often advise getting to bed early during Full Moons. The intense energy can make everything feel like it’s falling apart, yet if you wait a couple of days, you often find those catastrophic fears don’t materialize.
Yet as humans, we can’t completely disregard our inner world—we’re not AI after all. The universe doesn’t micromanage whether you have porridge or pancakes for breakfast. Free will isn’t meaningless. Sometimes we need positive intentionality—to shape our lives within cosmic frameworks to better suit our needs. When we seek to initiate change or start new projects, the New Moon presents a perfect opportunity.
The Gemini New Moon’s Unique Configuration
This particular Gemini New Moon features the Sun and Moon at 0° Gemini in exact conjunction, forming a 90-degree square aspect with Neptune in Pisces. Meanwhile, Mercury (also in Gemini and not retrograde) forms another square with retrograde Saturn in Pisces.
If you’ve been paying attention to recent news and information streams, you’ve likely encountered revelations that challenge your established beliefs. These might feel disillusioning, difficult to accept, or even appear as outright deception. The energy of this Gemini New Moon encourages us not to resist new information but to approach it with fairness and rational analysis.
Embracing the Gemini Energy of Curiosity
The key is to open your mind to these paradigm-shifting ideas, then gather evidence to verify their validity. Don’t automatically reject them based on past experiences or them out of discomfort. As mentioned, lunar events primarily affect our internal landscape—you can resist this mental shift if you choose.
But the outer planets won’t be so gentle. Uranus is currently in the final 10 degrees of Taurus. If you find current information challenging, wait until Uranus leaves Taurus and enters Gemini—the real shockwaves are yet to come. This astrological transition will likely bring unprecedented changes to communication, technology, and how we process information collectively.
Harnessing This New Moon’s Potential
For Gemini natives and those with strong Gemini placements, this New Moon offers exceptional opportunities for mental rejuvenation and communicative projects. Consider initiating:
- Learning new skills or languages
- Starting writing or communication projects
- Connecting with siblings or local community
- Exploring multiple perspectives on challenging topics
Remember that Gemini energy thrives on variety and mental stimulation. Rather than committing to one path exclusively, allow yourself to explore multiple options during this lunar phase. The square to Neptune suggests maintaining clarity amid potential confusion or deception—verify information before acting on it.
This New Moon invites us to embrace the Gemini spirit of curiosity, adaptability, and intellectual growth while maintaining critical thinking—a perfect balance for navigating our rapidly changing world.
