Your 2024 New Moon in Gemini Horoscope: What’s in Store for You Come June 6

As June begins, you could be feeling an palpable effervescent, lighthearted energy that is undeniably tied to the beginning of summer. And in 2024, the first week of June features a pleasure-bringing new moon in Gemini, offering a blank slate on which you can map out your game plan for achieving a thrilling new aspiration. With so many planets, including lucky Jupiter, hanging out in the sign symbolized by the Twins now, this new moon serves as a defining moment, in which you can truly make the most of the curious, communicative sign’s influence. So, what does the new moon in Gemini mean for you specifically this year?

On Thursday, June 6 at 8:38 a.m. ET/5:38 a.m. PT, this lunar event falls in the mutable air sign ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, transportation and technology. In turn, this is a new moon that provides the opportunity to reflect on how you’re connecting with others, expressing your ideas and soaking up and trading information. Being open minded and adaptable is a strength of Gemini, so this could be a moment in which you’re more apt to experiment, switch gears or pivot away from an existing aim in order to embrace a whole new game plan that serves you even better. Here, all you need to know about this vibrant event so you can make the most of it.

What is a new moon?

The new moon occurs once — and once in a while, twice — a month when the moon and the sun share the same exact spot in the zodiac (for example, this month, they will meet at 16 degrees of Gemini). Because the two luminaries are so close, the sun’s stunningly bright light doesn’t reflect off of the moon at all, and from our point of view on Earth, the moon’s form appears hidden. For that reason, you can think of a new moon as a blank canvas on which you can paint your vision for the future. And you can take advantage of new moon energy by getting clear on and setting those goals for four days before and after the event occurs. 

In astrology, the moon colors your emotions, intuition and nurturing style as well as how you want to be nurtured. When it’s new, you could feel an amplified sense of possibility, anticipation and emotional self-awareness. New moons also present a chance to plant seeds that you can watch grow over the following two weeks (up until the next full moon, which, this time, falls on Friday, June 21) and the following six months (when we’ll experience the corresponding full moon, which in this case will be Sunday, December 15).

What is the new moon in Gemini?

Every new moon is a chance to gain clarity as you consider what you want to strive for moving forward and to then set a concrete intention. But June’s new moon is particularly wired to tap into high mental energy and lean on communicative, social rituals to solidify your goal. That’s thanks to Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, the messenger planet, which fuels how you soak up and disseminate information as well as your thought processes. In other words, Gemini season and this Gemini new moon makes it more likely you’ll have your pick of buzzy, curious, interactive opportunities in which you can talk through what you want to achieve with friends, loved ones or colleagues. You might also process ideas and emotions that come up for you now through other Mercury-ruled practices, like writing, reading or learning something new. And because Gemini is associated with the Third House of Communication, you might also find short-distance trips or your relationships and interactions with neighbors or siblings prove insightful and inspiring. 

The 2024 Gemini new moon invites you to prioritize pleasure and beauty

The new moon occurs at 16 degrees of Gemini, while Venus, the planet of romance, pleasure and beauty, is also at 16 degrees of Gemini, leading the luminary and the planet to form an exciting, powerful conjunction just after the new moon is exact. The meet-up between the moon and Venus can amplify feelings of inner peace, harmony and optimism, especially while you’re connecting with your nearest and dearest. And with this new moon as the foundation for any relationship goal, you could find it’s easier to get on the same page as a loved one or friend. 

Because Venus also oversees earning, this is a moment in which you can trust your intuition even more than usual in regard to money making endeavors. The planet named for the goddess of love can also support creativity and an eye for what’s aesthetically pleasing, so its influence on this new moon makes this an ideal time for diving into any pursuit that involves tapping into your artistic impulses, like experimenting with your wardrobe or beautifying your space. 

The 2024 new moon in Gemini encourages a reality check before embracing the future 

A few hours after the new moon is exact, it will square off against taskmaster Saturn, the planet of hard work and commitment, currently sitting at 18 degrees of mutable water sign Pisces. While this connection can be tense and challenging, it’s an invitation to look at the facts and to strive for pragmatism before hitting the gas on whatever goal you’ve opted to set during this new moon. Saturn requires that we put our nose to the grindstone and look at reality in order to lay a foundation that’s solid enough for our dreams and wishes to flourish from. 

And because this is a lunar event, after all, and the moon oversees emotions while the taskmaster planet requires that we take responsibility, you might find you’re now more aware of emotions and behaviors that aren’t aligned with where you want to go and realize that addressing them head-on might be your best bet. 

Here, how the 2024 Gemini new moon will affect you based on your sign. (Be sure to read both your sun and your rising sign if you know it. If you don’t, you can find it in your birth chart or by using this CafeAstrology calculator.)
