Horoscopes
Aries
The New Moon that occurs today, dear Aries, is aligned with your ruler, Mars, and influences your sector of communications and transportation. This can stimulate a strong desire to make yourself heard, to initiate a new project, to launch a business endeavor or a new line, or to start a course of study. The urge to branch out, to reach out to others, and to add more variety to your life is with you now, in spades. Communicating with others is in focus now. There can be new transportation opportunities in the coming weeks, or opportunities can arise through siblings, errand running, neighborhood activities, on the phone, or schooling. In some cases, there can be a breakdown or closing down of a mode of transportation or communication, which in turn prompts a need to do things differently with associated opportunities and new experiences. This New Moon also encourages you to put more of your personality into the work you do or into your communications.
Taurus
A New Moon today encourages you to put more of your energy into building your life in creative ways, dear Taurus. It can serve to fuel your enthusiasm for making yourself more secure and comfortable. Taking charge of your personal finances can play a big role in this, but so can working on developing your natural talents or your current resources in order to make better use of all you have to give. The New Moon is aligned with assertive, bold Mars, making this a powerful time for taking the lead, going after what you want with more courage, and revealing a more confident “you” in your business affairs. Some of you could be launching new projects, acting on a money-making idea, or pursuing a raise or bonus. There may be opportunities in the coming weeks to become more productive or to improve the management of your finances.
Gemini
There has been a strong focus on your personal plans in recent weeks, dear Gemini, but today’s New Moon acts can function on some level as a clean slate as well as a motivator to go forward with them. You are large and in charge right now, and you have more courage and energy to make needed changes in your life, particularly related to your health, image, personality, manner, and appearance. Before this lunation this morning, focus on letting go of excess mental or emotional baggage so that you can go forward with a lighter load and a happier disposition. If you feel that you could use a “restart”, this is it. News might arrive this week that points you in a new direction.
Cancer
There has been much activity in your soul sector in the last few weeks, dear Cancer, and this has put the focus on the past, endings, rest, reflection, privacy, and solitude. The New Moon today stimulates the courage to handle these matters. With Mars involved, you can be more courageous and perhaps a little strict about putting something behind you, and this can be very positive and helpful. You may want to watch for speaking of something too soon today. Otherwise, this New Moon can push you on a new path of self-discovery and empowerment, which will help you as the Sun moves into your sign on the 21st, when the focus is on you, your needs, and your plans.
Leo
There has been a strong focus on your connections to friends and groups in recent weeks, dear Leo, and for many of you, long-term goals as well. This can be an important time in your life for collaboration. The New Moon today brings the take-charge energy you need to put a plan in motion, as well as inspiration for new ideas and goals to work towards. Mars with the New Moon points to leadership, courage, and action. Your sense of community is strong, and emotional satisfaction can come through your interactions with, or support of, friends and associates. The coming week is strong for new starts, publishing efforts, studies and courses, and making personal changes.
Virgo
There has been a strong emphasis on your professional and reputation sector in the last few weeks, dear Virgo, and today’s New Moon in this same house of your solar chart brings you a shot of energy and verve for pursuing your goals or for putting projects into motion. You’re clearer about putting something behind you in order to move forward. You may be excited about a new launch. Some of you will be bringing new life to a business project, career, or life plan, and some will be starting fresh with a new one. You are especially motivated to move your work ahead. Job offers or recognition for what you do can come your way this week. Mars with this New Moon adds a dash of courage and is strong for solo efforts, but it can also be a little too impatient, and it’s wise not to push something forward too quickly. Remember that this is only the beginning!
Libra
The New Moon today brings a boost of energy, gumption, and confidence in areas of life that have been themes for the past few weeks, dear Libra. This week, you may be setting plans in motion that involve new experiences, adventures, educational pursuits, and that lead to a bigger understanding of your life’s purpose beyond career and relationship matters. This can also be a good time for publishing or speaking – sharing your experiences, reaching beyond the ordinary, and reaching out to more people. Routines are, of course, vital to your life, but the energy with you now encourages moving beyond these things once in a while. It’s time to feed your spirit and remind yourself why you’re here. You might be making educational or travel plans now. This particular New Moon is also about relationships for you, as people in your life or new friends can help inspire or support you in your efforts.
Scorpio
A New Moon occurs today in a sector of your chart that rules emotional intimacy, trust, sharing, bonding with others, and power dynamics, dear Scorpio. On a more mundane level, this house also rules debts to others as well as shared resources or non-income monies coming in. This is the eighth house, and while it rules closeness with a partner, it is not about the surface harmony that we saw in the seventh house. Instead, it’s about deeper bonding and intimacy. New Moons stir up desires and also bring a feeling of a fresh start, new beginning, and the need to take charge. This is your chance to relate with a partner in a more creative way, to work on trust issues, and to tackle power dynamics. It’s also a good cycle in which to pay off debts, handle taxes, ask for a loan, or seek out support of a more emotional nature. People are a little more willing to offer it. Today, all of this is fresh. Get prepared, but don’t push things too fast if you don’t feel ready.
Sagittarius
With a New Moon occurring today, a door opens for change, dear Sagittarius, and with this lunation in your solar seventh house, it’s about your close relationships. This can be a new beginning in a current relationship or with someone new, or it can be about relating to others in healthier, more creative ways. The coming weeks are strong for appreciating the people close to you, partnering up to get things done faster or better, and opening up two-way conversations, negotiations, or consultations. This New Moon aligns with Mars, implying more courage and bravery, as well as a strong desire or need to make things happen, put problems behind you, and deal with problem areas directly. Use the positive traits that Mars stimulates, such as bravery, initiative, and straightforwardness, and avoid the more challenging traits, such as impatience and pushiness.
Capricorn
There has been a strong emphasis on habits, routine, health, skills, and work in your life in the past few weeks, dear Capricorn. Today’s New Moon brings in a chance to put new initiatives into action in these areas. This brings a wonderful opportunity for new project and program launches that help you to improve your wellbeing in vital ways. It’s time to take better care of yourself. Improving daily routines plays a big role in this. You could be loving what you do now, and bringing new, more creative, happier energy to your work. The coming weeks are strong for beginning a new fitness or nutrition program. There can be new tasks or priorities that invigorate you. Family may be involved in this with Mars, the ruler of your solar sector of home and family, aligned with the New Moon. Some of you may be setting up a home office or gym.
Aquarius
A New Moon occurs today, dear Aquarius, and it’s about turning over a new leaf. This is about reconnecting with your inner child in many ways, as you are encouraged to enjoy the many wonders of life through “play” – hobbies, games, creative pursuits, and entertainment are part of this. It’s also about expressing yourself more openly and freely, and about confidently pursuing your heart’s desire. This can be a rather romantic New Moon for some. It can be about an attitude change for others. New beginnings are favored in the coming weeks, particularly along the lines of new hobbies, finding different avenues for creative expression and entertainment, a new romance or a reinvigoration of an existing one, or discovering new ways to enjoy leisure time. A simple but powerful goal now could involve listening to your heart more often, or aiming to make the most out of any time off. With Mars heavily involved with this New Moon, you can draw upon more courage to express yourself or to connect with others in the coming weeks.
Pisces
There has been a stronger emphasis on your personal life in the past few weeks, dear Pisces, and the New Moon today brings even more power and energy to home and family matters. Personal concerns rather than worldly ones are in focus now, and the desire to begin anew, start fresh, or turn over a new leaf is with you. This sector of your chart is also about your support system, those things that make you feel secure and needed, and plans that aim to provide nurturance for many years to come. For some of you, there can be a move or renovations, and for others, significant family gatherings or activities. You may be investing in a home or things for your living space, reorganizing, or putting more effort into connecting in healthier, happier ways with the people you love.

LUNAR PHASE: NEW MOON
Moon 0 to 45 degrees ahead of the Sun.
This is an energetic, impulsive, and subjective period of time. We are looking for new projects and opportunities.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on June 16th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
