The New Moon in Gemini occurs on June 14 at 7:54 PM Pacific Time and 10:54 PM Eastern Time. This is the last New Moon of spring, and it packs a lot of energy, urging us to step out of our comfort zones and stand up for our beliefs. The collective is rebelling, making this lunation a catalyst for change. This is the cosmic shift we need to bring forth progress, since the supermoon is in closeness to Earth and magnifying matters.
Black Moon Lilith and the asteroid Lilith are both in Sagittarius, opposing the New Moon in Gemini. Black Moon Lilith and the asteroid Lilith represent the wild, revolutionary nature that lies within us. They allow us to break free of societal norms and expectations to live an autonomous life that does not adhere to conventionality. When they oppose the lunation, it sets off a chain of events that push us to not settle for anything that doesn’t elevate or suit us, urging us to fight and strive for what we want. Factor in the fierce, antagonistic asteroid Eris in Aries to intensify the drive and passion within. Some may say we’re too power-hungry or assertive, but the thirst for authority and directness stems from a desire to attain greatness and success.The path might take time, as Mercury enters the pre-retrograde zone in Cancer on June 13, so make sure to have patience and speak with clarity and forethought.
The presence of the fixed stars Ensis and Alnilam (both are found in the sky at 23 degrees Gemini) guarantees we will achieve whatever our heart desires; however, it must be done with dignity. We can see through the shady behavior and bizarre actions of others that do not align with our personal evolution, so much so that our opinions might appear judgmental to those who don’t share the same moral code. Setting high standards for ourselves and the people in our lives isn’t a bad thing — we must ensure they are at the same level as we are. If not, it’s important to evaluate the dynamics and foundations that draw you together.
Like all New Moons, we are being offered a fresh start from the universe. It may be beneficial to release people who don’t align with our ideology and views, or from the sentiment that we always have to be right. There are moments, like this one, when it’s best to state our case — even if we have to argue to be heard. Our voices and thoughts matter, so speak up and never let anyone keep us silent.
