The new Moon is on June 6, and it carries a message of love — or of loss. In astrology, new Moons represent change, endings, or renewal. This month, it comes with an interesting alignment, as Venus joins the Sun and Moon on this date, which may bring a lot of feelings to the surface for some, especially for the Geminis among us.
Let’s hope those are feelings of love and compassion. But in some circumstances what might arise instead are jealousy and resentment. Venus may be the planet of love, but she was also responsible for more than a few wars.
At all times, but especially with transits like this, it’s important to be honest with ourselves and our loved ones about our feelings.
All relationships go through seasons, and this is a reminder to tend the garden through those seasons. Nurture love where you can.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
They say when one door closes another opens, but life is never that clear. New paths emerge even when we’re not ready to take them. Will you see things out to the end or move on to the next adventure?
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
It’s your turn to try some radical compassion. What is it that you can do to lessen the suffering of others and extend a little comfort to those in need?
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Your experience of love and connection may be shifting right now. How you communicate your affections will be an important part of what this week will hold for you. Remember, communication is not just a verbal phenomenon.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
There’s something new on the horizon for you, and when you’re ready, you’re ready. So, recharge, refresh, renew, and go for the new adventures that await.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
Your appreciation of art, beauty, and the finer things will get you noticed. Sharing your perspective can lead to something wonderful as long as you know how to frame your thoughts.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
You’re being offered the guidance, support, and resources you’ve been asking for. Don’t be pig-headed about that; accept the help graciously. You’ve been looking for change and growth, and this is the boost you need.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Take heed of the advice “don’t go to bed angry.” Instead, before you do, finish the fight. That’s better than letting animosity linger for too long and become poison. Find resolution in whatever way you can.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Your motivations may be shifting into the areas of work, finances, and resources. Whatever it is you do, make sure you’re passionate about it. On this good green Earth, there is nothing quite as pointless as toil without that.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Networking will lead to growth this week. Your ability to reach beyond the stars hinges on help from those who are willing to get you there. Luckily, your sunny disposition makes you quite the charmer — when you try.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
When you’re working toward equilibrium, it’s easy to overshoot and lose your balance. Give and take is the nature of the world; find some balance between the two.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
So much suffering stems from aligning ourselves with people whose ends do not match our own. Sometimes the mismatch is obvious; at other times it’s harder to detect. Be discerning lest others treat you as a means for their ends.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
This moment offers you more opportunities than you may be allowing yourself to take. But the world is as large as you allow it to be. You’re limited only by your perception. Get a wider lens.
