Hopefully, your weekend was uneventful! Mine turned out to be. I kept expecting something unusual to happen, but the most unusual thing was finding my 18-year-old son trying to bake muffins at 1:30 am! There was some underlying stress about financial matters, but other than that, it was a pleasant weekend.
How about you?
Looking at the breaking news stories this morning I saw several stories where it seemed like individuals took things to the extreme (Mars/Jupiter in Aries) and it seemed to be primarily focused around alcohol, which is interesting because Mercury is conjunct the fixed star Algol, ruler of alcohol, so it would make sense we would hear about people being intoxicated.
Speaking of fixed stars, the New Moon is happening today at 7:30 am Eastern, and is conjunct the star Aldebaran, the star that represents a positive new start—this is good news!
This New Moon in Gemini marks the beginning of the next 29-day cycle, where we can set new intentions and start fresh. Gemini energy is that of new ideas, curiosities, and communications. It will be a time when communications will be vital and many opportunities may present themselves. You may feel the need to acquire new knowledge by reading books, taking courses, studying a language, or having conversations with people who satisfy this itch for you.
Where exactly will the New Moon energy affect you personally? That depends upon your individual chart and the house where this transit will occur.
For example, my youngest son, who has a Virgo rising, was up before dawn this morning completing his homeschool assignments for the day! By the time I woke up, at 7 am, he was doing his Monday Weekly Home Blessing chores of cleaning his room and taking out the trash. He also took the initiative to start his laundry, even though his laundry day is Thursday, but who’s complaining here? Not me!
The New Moon is happening in his tenth house, his house of career, or his job, in this case, his schoolwork and chores! He literally used this energy to start the month off on the right foot, fulfilling his duties so that he could play his video game—his true desire.
For myself, the New Moon is happening conjunct my ascendant (in the first house) and squaring my natal Jupiter in the 4th house of home, family, and endings and my natal moon in my tenth house of career/job/authority figures, bringing a fresh new start to my identity and sense of self and also physically too—the first house ruling the head—I am planning on cutting my hair today, LOL! You can’t make this stuff up! But this new sense of self will not come easy—it conflicts with my family life and my job as a homeschooling mother, so finding the balance between work, home, and my personal needs may be a struggle but, if successful, could be very rewarding.
Interesting also, is that I am starting a new astrological course this month on June 12, learning Traditional astrology—a different type of astrology that is based on the teachings of ancient astrologers of the Hellenistic period and is more predictive in nature. What I currently practice is called Modern astrology and is more psychological and character-oriented. This is so “New Moon in Gemini,” acquiring knowledge by taking a course! I’m sure that I will tell you all about what I learn throughout the course because when I get excited about something, I can’t shut up!

The tarot card for the day is:
You are experiencing an Illegitimate Feeling
This card is from *Morgan’s Tarot Deck, a bit of a wacky and non-traditional tarot deck from the 60s. I was drawn to it this morning for some reason…
This card is sarcastic because there are no illegitimate feelings, but maybe you are experiencing something that you feel is unnecessary—some unfounded anger perhaps, like the picture in this card of people sitting in traffic arguing… although upon looking deeper into the card I am realizing it is actually a drive-in movie theatre and on the screen are people kissing, so maybe the two in the audience that are outside of their cars are just talking loudly and that is annoying the rest of the movie-goers who are trying to watch the movie…Either way, it’s unnecessary anger, just like I didn’t see the picture clearly the first time, we may not see the picture clearly at first also—so this card is putting us on notice that we need to keep our anger in check today…let’s draw another for some clarification…
Why are we annoyed?
Grass
This card simply means that maybe we’re annoyed because for some reason we can’t do what we want to do…
And what is the outcome?
Hand
Help is on the way! Or you will lend a helping hand today? In either case, the situation will resolve itself when we give or receive the help we need.
I hope this horoscope and reading were helpful!
Until tomorrow,
AstroMommy
