Horoscopes: May 31st thru June 7th

For the New Moon in Gemini (at 16º 18’) for your natal sign or house location:

Aries

(3rd House) Wear your wounds and imperfections like a badge of honor. In fact, rather than being ashamed of them, wave them like a semaphore with exultance and glee. For this is also you, in your all in all, and it’s not what is perfect about you, but rather your imperfections that ultimately make you relatable to others. Mars just completed a conjunction to Chiron, before it will enter Taurus on June 9th. It has been inspiring you, motivating you, pushing your forward all these weeks that it has been in Aries. Use the New Moon on June 6th to try something new, do something you are already doing in a new way perhaps, but to also further commit to any new initiatives begun since Mars first entered Aries at the end of April. Gemini has a lot to do with our mind and perspective. Use the New Moon next Thursday to: learn that new thing; better manage your time; or engaging with others. Gemini is a time for activity, for catching up, gabbing, and social engagement. Inquiring minds want to know more, learn more, see more and hear more. And the more informed you are the better prepared you will be for the months ahead. A good affirmation for the New Moon in Gemini might be: I gain confidence in using my words skillfully, and sharing my ideas clearly with others. 

Taurus

(2nd House) At the New Moon in Gemini, Taurus aims to sift through their priorities. What are those things that you would prefer to spend your valuable resources and time on? And what are those things about yourself that you consider to be most valuable and useful? The sign Gemini is a sign of many interests, talents and resources. Being able to use these to your best advantage is a gift. One topic that may come up at this time of year, is whether or not you are feeling valued and appreciated for what you do. There are many ways to be valued. Sometimes that can have to do with money and gifts, but there are also other ways of being valued that cannot be quantified. This can also be a good time to create some sort of financial plan going forward, or figuring out how to make your current situation sustainable.Your ruling planet, Venus, is conjunct the New Moon in Gemini on June 6th, as well as sextile the North Node of the Moon, making this an excellent week to revamp or create some sort of financial or pragmatic plan for the future. The sort of plan that you know you can live with. Embrace the fact that your ruling planet Venus is center stage embraced by the New Moon. May prosperity be mine in a way that benefits all those concerned.

Gemini

(1st House) The New Moon on Thursday, June 6th, at 16º Gemini 18’, will affect most strongly those Geminis born between June 3rd and the 9th, or have 13-19º of Gemini Rising. However, all Geminis will be sensitive to this annual New Moon. Fresh with the newness of beginnings, you will want to make sure that whatever new initiatives are being spawned at this time are a reflection of your true self. Make this a time for renewed self-awareness, and self-knowing. Reacquaint yourself with your personal interests and sense of identity. This is a good time to reinvent or improve yourself or your appearance, with the intention to be a more authentic version of yourself. Make room for more of who you are, while culling out what you have outgrown. This is your personal annual Moon, therefore decide what seeds you want to plant for the year ahead: what interests you wish to pursue, what you need more of, what you want to be more informed about, what will tweak your interests and lure you with fascination on this journey of becoming. Today is the first day of the rest of my life, may I recognize the steps that will help me to realize my most heartfelt dreams. 

Cancer

(12th House) The New Moon in Gemini each year can often find Cancer reflecting on and reviewing the past. It is also about releasing, and letting go of those situations, things and experiences from the former year that are no longer relevant for where you are now, and where you intend to go in the future. This is when you tie up loose ends, bring closure to the past, and let bygones be bygones. It would also not be unusual to find yourself wanting to take some time out and go on retreat, in whatever way that works for you. This is when Cancer is more inclined to seek solitude in order to gain greater clarity, away from the distractions of the external world. Cancer does some of their best thinking when they are alone and undisturbed. But it can also be an opportunity to clear your mind of any residual negative imprints and memories. It’s about releasing the past in order to walk unburdened into your future. This is a good moon to go on an educational retreat; to enter a sacred place of learning; to withdraw in order to gain deeper clarity; to connect to your dreams; read or write in solitude. The New Moon on Thursday, June 6th is also a good time to make the intention to learn better ways to shield yourself from negative thoughts and influences. May I have the courage to release those things that I no longer need, and that are preventing me from growing.
