New Moon in Gemini: Get Ready for Romance!

That beautiful white sliver in the night sky on June 19 is the second consecutive new Moon in the sign of the twins, Gemini. This unusual event brings a repeated energy that offers a second chance for love that didn’t quite come together in late May.

New Moons highlight the planetary patterns that will influence the following month. By exploring the aspects of the Gemini new Moon, we can gain a sense of how love will play out over the next four weeks.

With the new Moon’s ruling planet, Mercury, in sensitive Cancer, it’s important to be gentle with loved ones now. That someone special might be feeling vulnerable, so make an extra effort to reassure them of your feelings. Tenderness supports togetherness.

Love goddess Venus aligns with unpredictable Uranus at this new Moon, revealing that the month ahead is sure to be full of romantic surprises. Dating developments happen quickly when Venus and Uranus link, so if you want love – or sex -- take action to make it happen. Quirky connections have great potential, and random encounters help reveal your true feelings.

Gemini is the sign of conversation and social interaction, so communication is key in enhancing your romantic prospects now. If you’re single, make an effort to get involved in social events -- you never know who you’ll meet.

Expressing what’s on your mind and in your heart is essential, whether you write it down or say it out loud. Don’t assume someone knows what you want, instead talk it over with them.

Shortly after this new Moon, passion planet Mars will move out of its shadow area. A planet in shadow is like a planet that’s still dragging from its last retrograde. Mars will be back to its fiery self by June 21. This creates progress in stagnant relationships. Since Mars is all about intimacy, sexual intensity is likely to grow, making it likely this will be a sizzling summer for everyone!
