June 2024: Tarot spread for the new moon in Gemini

Plus an astro-tarot forecast, journaling questions and an exploration of the Sabian symbol for the new moon in Gemini.

The June 2024 new moon falls in the sign of Gemini. The Gemini archetype is very curious, an excellent communicator, and a disseminator of knowledge. It is the sign of the writer, of those who tend to think deeply, are highly perceptive, and prefer to learn from experience.

Spiritually, the Gemini archetype is about courageous conversation, be it with another person or with the Universe. Gemini adds its vibration to the advancement of culture and civilization through dialogue, be that via books or blogs or letters.

This new moon also highlights our sense of purpose and belonging. The ways in which we show up for ourselves and others. The things, great or small, that we accomplish for ourselves or within the wider world. It also highlights our partnerships — the people and ideas we collaborate and partner with, learn from, create with.

This new moon is a good time to consider the various relationships, collaborators, colleagues, and mentors who are part of your life, to think about why you’re maintaining the relationships you’re in, and how these relationships can enhance your life, make them fuller, and make these relationships even better for everyone involved.

Astro-tarot influences for the June 2024 new moon

To throw some more light on the June new moon astrology, let’s take a look at the astro-tarot influences of this lunation. The Gemini new moon falls in decan 2, which is represented by the Nine of Swords. This is to be interpreted in conjunction with The Lovers, which is associated with Gemini.

I’ve often thought that our daily anxieties are deeply tied with the things and people we love most. We can often keep ourselves up at night, doomthinking about projects that we care about, the people who are closest to our heart. We often end up tying our values, purpose, and meaning to our most important projects, which is to be expected, really. No wonder then that we can imagine the worst not just about the outcome of those projects, but perhaps worse, about what our potential failure may say about us as a person.

The things is, though, we cannot control every little thing or outcome. There are some things that are out of our control — external validation; how others think about us; the outcome of our actions, especially when they are dependent on someone or something else; how someone will perceive or value us. That last one, though, comes with one caveat: maintaining good boundaries. While we cannot control how someone perceives or values us, we can most certainly take ourselves out of toxic relationships and situations in which we are not valued.

With Venus making a conjunction with the Gemini new moon, this is an excellent time to focus on the things and people you love, the projects that light you up. Go through the goals you set during the new year and see which ones still excite and inspire you and focus on those. If you’ve been feeling a bit lacking on energy or distracted, the June 2024 new moon will give you a boost of creative power.

Knowing this, maybe one way to deal with our anxieties is to focus on the things that we can control: our actions, our efforts, how we show up to our work in the world, to our calling, to our most cherished relationships. When we focus on doing what we love with love, we can — often — turn down the volume on our anxieties.

Mercury is also active during this lunation, giving you insight and inspiration to find your feet and chart the course on your most important and meaningful projects. And with Saturn in the mix as well, there is a very good chance that you can create the structure and move more confidently forward with your projects.

Just remember to focus on what you can control.

Sabian Symbol for the June 2024 Gemini new moon

The Sabian Symbol for Gemini 16 degrees is The Head Of A Robust Youth Changes Into That Of A Mature Thinker.

This symbol indicates maturity and wisdom, especially the times in our lives when we need to act with more maturity. It also indicates events that can force us to grow up. There’s only so long that we can be reckless or act without much care for the consequences. At some time, we all need to start taking more responsibility for our choices and our actions.

This symbol indicates that we need to use our intuition and intellect to deal with a particular situation. Just throwing the spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks isn’t going to cut it any more.

In 360 Degrees of Wisdom: The Sabian Oracle, Linda Hill writes, “Feel and acknowledge the ‘Youthful’ mindset that is now changing, evolving and growing. Think things through and look to the consequences of your actions. Getting to know yourself and your responses to the environment will produce a more ‘Mature’, grounded and empowered you.”
