New Moon in Gemini: a 2-Week Energy Guide + Rising Sign Messages
On June 14 at 10:54 pm ET, the New Moon in Gemini arrives like a doorway between timelines. This means that the conversations and choices available to you now could lead to a different future than the one you've been heading toward.
This Moon shares space with the great awakener, Uranus, and the ancient royal star Tishtar (Aldebaran), which is all about destiny and the consequences of the decisions we make.
At the same time, the Moon reaches toward Chiron at the final degree of Aries, where an old story about finding the courage to believe in yourself is nearing completion.
In other words, with this New Moon, something about the way you think, speak, choose, or perceive yourself is changing from hereon.
Gemini reminds us that reality shifts first through awareness, through our relationships and the conversations we have. Also, through the stories we stop repeating, and the truths we finally allow ourselves to name.
This is a revealing and catalytic New Moon.
And while not every insight coming at this time will make immediate sense, something important is nudging you to reorient your direction.
Pay attention to what interrupts your usual thinking. That’s where the opening is.
You don't need to have the whole path figured out. You only need enough courage and curiosity to step through the opening.
Questions to reflect on:
What would change if I trusted myself enough to think differently about my life?
Where have I been seeking certainty instead of curiosity?
Where am I craving deeper authenticity in my relationships or self-expression?
May these questions help you move through the New Moon’s energies with intention. You can find your 2-week Energy Guide below along with your Rising Sign messages.
with care,

2-Week Energy Guide: June 14 - June 28
Before getting into the specifics of these next two weeks, I want to mention that Venus is highly active throughout this first half of the lunar cycle. This means Venusian themes such as relationships, connection, intimacy, self-worth, values, desire and creativity will likely come up.
And with Venus moving through Leo, these themes will likely be more personal, expressive, vulnerable, and emotionally charged.
You may find that questions around being seen, appreciated, desired, respected, or emotionally acknowledged may surface over the next two weeks.
And given Gemini energy dominates much of this period, the pace will be quick, and mentally stimulating (ie. busy mind!)
While this is a cycle of movement, it is one of discernment as well. Remember that not every thought deserves your belief. And you are not meant to carry every story forever.
But what consistently asks for your attention during this time matters more than you may think. Curiosity is key.
So let’s get into the details, now.
Disruption, Insight, and New Awareness (June 14–17)
The theme of these next few days is: what changes when you see differently.
The New Moon in Gemini begins with movement. Venus immediately activates Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Emotional and relational themes may feel especially heightened at this time.
You may notice unexpected conversations or realizations. Or even a growing awareness around something that’s been building up over the last few months.
Venus opposite Pluto may especially reveal power dynamics in your relationships. These may show up as emotional fixations or fears around vulnerability.
At the same time, Uranus near the New Moon can bring moments of startling clarity.
Work with the energies of the next few days by:
noticing what emotionally activates you without immediately reacting
paying attention to repeating themes in conversations and interactions
allowing insight to emerge before forcing decisions
Something right now is attempting to wake you up to a deeper truth.
A New Chapter Begins (June 18–21)
The theme of these few days is a recalibration of what “security” actually means.
Chiron finally enters Taurus (June 17) after 7 years, which is significant. It’s only here to stay for a few months before it retrogrades back into Aries on Sept 17, 2026.
After years of Chiron moving through Aries and exposing wounds around identity, self-definition, survival, anger, courage, and autonomy, we now begin a longer collective process around healing our relationship to stability and self-worth. This transit is about embodying the healing that’s happened over the last few years, and focusing on what truly sustains us.
The Sun entering Cancer (June 21) further softens the emotional atmosphere and brings attention towards home, family, belonging and emotional safety.
Work with this phase by:
noticing what genuinely helps you feel grounded
reassessing what sustainability means now
allowing yourself to want a softer, steadier life if that’s what feels true
Clarity and Illusion (June 22–25)
Much of the next few days is about discernment. This is a good time to reflect on what actually feels emotionally safe and sustainable, not just exciting or done out of duty.
The Sun squares Neptune while Venus trines Saturn, which creates an interesting contrast between idealism and reality.
You may notice the following themes come up:
uncertainty around someone’s intentions
emotional projection or confusion
a desire to escape discomfort
difficulty seeing a situation clearly
At the same time, Venus trine Saturn supports steadier forms of connection and emotional maturity. Remember that not all uncertainty means instability.
Some need time and will show themselves slowly.
Work with this phase by:
grounding yourself before making assumptions
paying attention to consistency over promises
recognizing the difference between fantasy and emotional truth
Movement and Momentum (June 26–28)
You may find that the energy returns over the next few days. Although momentum returns, discernment still matters.
Mars sextiles Jupiter at the anaretic degree before entering Gemini. This creates a feeling of momentum building quickly. You may notice increased motivation or decisiveness or mental restlessness and a sense of urgency.
Because both planets are at critical (anaretic) degrees, there is intensity here. Something may feel ready to culminate or shift direction rapidly.
Then Mars enters Gemini (June 28), accelerating mental activity, conversations, decisions, and movement.
Work with this phase by:
directing your energy intentionally rather than scattering it
focusing on what genuinely deserves your attention
acting from clarity rather than nervous urgency
Closing Orientation
This New Moon in Gemini is not just about new ideas. It is about recognizing how your thoughts and choices shape the direction your life takes from here.
Something is changing in the way you perceive yourself and your relationships. And while this cycle may feel mentally busy at times, it is also helping you recognize what is becoming more true for you now.
You do not need every answer immediately. But you do need honesty about what you can no longer unknow.
With care

This New Moon highlights themes around stability, finances, self-worth, and personal values. With Chiron entering your sign during this cycle, you may begin recognizing deeper patterns around security, scarcity and the pressure to hold everything together.

Gemini Rising
This is a deeply personal New Moon for you. Something about your direction and self-perception is evolving quickly now. Uranus in your sign may bring sudden realizations, unexpected shifts, or a growing desire to break free from versions of yourself that no longer feel right to you. At the same time, this is not about reckless reinvention. It’s about becoming more honest about who you are now, and allowing your life to gradually reflect that truth.

Cancer Rising
With this New Moon begins something significant is moving beneath the surface, in a not-so-obvious way. You may feel emotionally reflective, more inward than usual, or aware of patterns that are shaping your life. Remember that not everything needs immediate action right now. Some things need space to unfold internally first. Pay attention to dreams, intuition, emotional reactions, and moments of solitude during this cycle. What you acknowledge now will shape what emerges next.
Card Pulled: The Moon
Leo Rising
With this New Moon comes renewed energy in terms of your future direction, the communities you are growing, your friendships, and long-term hopes. You may feel increasingly aware of which connections energize you, and which no longer feel aligned. Venus moving through your sign makes visibility and self-expression especially important now. This New Moon asks you to stop minimizing what you truly want for your future. Let yourself think bigger, even if it means leaving certain spaces, or people, behind.
Card Pulled: The Star
Virgo Rising
With this New Moon, your role in the world, your career path, your long-term vision and sense of purpose are coming into focus. You may recognize that your ambitions or responsibilities no longer fully reflect who you are becoming. Or that they need a shift in direction. This isn’t necessarily about dramatic external change yet, but about mental and emotional clarity around what needs to evolve over time. Ask yourself what success actually mean to you now? The answer is very likely to be changing.
Card Pulled: The Emperor
Libra Rising
With this New Moon, your perspective is expanding, but not without discomfort. You may feel increasingly aware that certain beliefs or directions no longer fit the life you are trying to build.

Sagittarius Rising
Relationships will be highly activated during this cycle, starting from this New Moon.

Card Pulled: Justice
Capricorn Rising
With this New Moon, your routines, responsibilities, relationship to work and well-being are asking for adjustment. This is about what you are devoting your daily life to and how does it give back to you. Over this lunar cycle, there may be growing awareness around where your current life structures are no longer sustainable. You do not need to overhaul your entire life overnight. Instead, focus on creating structures that genuinely support your capacity and long-term stability. Remember that what feels manageable now matters more than perfection.

Aquarius Rising
This New Moon highlights creativity, pleasure, romance, and self-expression. This lunar cycle is all about the things that satisfy and inspire you. But this cycle is not simply asking what feels exciting, it’s asking what genuinely feels alive.

Allow yourself to reconnect with what feels meaningful and creatively honest. Lean in towards what feels good to you.

Pisces Rising
With this New Moon, your home, family, emotional foundations, and your inner life are coming into focus. You may recognize where your sense of safety or belonging has shifted significantly over recent years. This New Moon asks you to pay attention to what genuinely helps you feel grounded and emotionally supported now. You may need to redefine what stability means to you. Not according to who you used to be, but according to who you are becoming and the direction you are heading.
