How well are you expressing yourself? That’s the question to ask this month, as the New Moon enters Gemini – the sign of talking, thinking, writing, debating and communicating in all forms.

The Gemini New Moon happens once a year around this time and it’s an ideal opportunity to make sure you’re letting others know how you feel. On 14 June, make a list of the people you need to speak to and what you need to speak to them about. If there’s a tricky conversation that you want to have but find it hard, write it down for them. If you don’t ask people for what you want, you are less likely to get it. Communication is the key to solving problems, be they personal or professional.

It’s also only been a month since the planet of chaos, Uranus, changed signs, moving from Aries into Taurus. Even if you are not one of those two signs (and don’t have either rising), it’s likely you are feeling a bit discombobulated because of their loud energy, which, until we acclimatise to it, can make everyone on edge. Even on the world stage, there are likely to be curveballs and more uproars than usual as people act out. If you meditate, chant or do yoga, it’s a good idea to up your practice this month to help you ride the waves. Remember, Uranus is also the planet of madness, so when it’s triggered, we are too!

Take note, the energies on these dates will be extra intense: 6 June (good for love, money and communication), 14 June (let others know how you feel), 16 June (a good day to make a deal), 27 June (the urge to move forwards subsides… take a break) and 28 June (Full Moon in Capricorn; move on from work drama).

GEMINI

2 May to 22 Jun

The New Moon this month takes place in your sign, which means it’s the time of year when you determine how you want the next 12 months to play out. Of course, you don’t get to decide 100%. But overall, if you use this month to work out what you want to do in the year ahead – and especially write it down and visualise it – you can steer your course. Try it!

Power date: 20 June – connect with your higher self to understand life’s mysteries through meditation

CANCER

23 Jun to 23 Jul

There could be some tough love lessons coming to you this month, thanks to the triggering of dreary Saturn and the Full Moon in your Love Zone. The fact is that you’re in the spotlight, so you have to expect that one or two people are going to think they have a better idea than you of how you should run your life. Take their ideas on board. The more annoying they are, the more you might actually learn.

Power date: 28 June – let go of fears and doubts

LEO

24 Jul to 23 Aug

If you feel like a very important relationship has somehow stalled, you might be right. Is it permanent? Probably not. In fact, what’s going on is that you have action-planet Mars stalling in your Relationship Zone this month. That can actually take the edge off any relationships that have seen conflict lately, but it can also mean it’s hard to keep things moving forwards, especially in a newer relationship. Patience is required.

Power date: 22 June – a day for making the changes you want to see in your world

VIRGO

24 Aug to 23 Sep

It’s time for you to break yet another Virgo habit and stop working quite so hard. As the planet of determined action, Mars slows down in your Daily Life Zone and retrogrades. It’s going to be harder to move fast towards your goals and frustrating to try – it’s simpler to just surrender and slow down. It will do you a power of good if you can take life a bit easier.

Power date: 23 June – you can convince people of anything today

LIBRA

24 Sep to 23 Oct

There’s a bit of a disconnect for you this month, which you need to address if you want more balance in your life. It’s about juggling what you need to do at work (or whatever you’re ‘known for’, such as volunteering), versus managing to have the time you need at home and with family in order to have a satisfying personal life. That’s your June challenge in a nutshell.

Power date: 25 June – don’t push your luck too far

SCORPIO

24 Oct to 22 Nov

Try to stay open to any changes that are going on in your life now, be they personal or professional. The people who matter most to you are going to be acting a little unusually this month and for quite some time to come. Don’t allow yourself to get worked up about it. Actually, you’re being taught lessons in ‘live and let live’. The harder you try and control You Know Who, the more difficult You Know Who will be!

Power date: 23 June – say what you mean, and you’ll get your message across

SAGITTARIUS

23 Nov to 21 Dec

You have some big lessons to learn about money and self-esteem, and how the two go together. Do you see the connection? It’s all about you understanding that the more you value yourself, the more others will, too. If you work, this means that the more someone values you, the more money they will give you in return for the services you offer. If you don’t, it’s still the right time to work on your self-love. It will change your life.

Power date: 19 June – you have the gift of the gab

CAPRICORN

22 Dec to 20 Jan

The Full Moon in your sign this month indicates that it’s the time for you to finally move on from something or someone you want to leave behind. With Saturn in residence, you have undoubtedly had a lot to deal with recently. However, the Full Moon is absolutely the right time to decide, ‘OK, that was then and this is now…’ and start to walk in a new direction.

Power date: 15 June – talk through relationship issues today

AQUARIUS

21 Jan to 19 Feb

You have Mars, the planet of action and forward motion, in your sign, which sounds like a good thing. The issue is that Mars is stalling and about to go retrograde. In other words, don’t be surprised if June feels a bit like two steps forward and one step back. The best thing you can do for yourself this month is whatever it takes to balance your daily life and routines.

Power date: 26 June – surrender to what is

PISCES

21 Jan to 19 Feb

There are changes coming for you on the home front as the New Moon fires up your Home Zone. If you want to buy or sell, move to a new house or change the person or people you live with, this is the right time to do it. If you have fallen out with someone in your family, use the middle of the month’s New Moon to start all over again.

Power date: 19 June – a great day to have a tricky conversation

ARIES

21 Mar to 20 Apr

Your ruler Mars is slowing down in the skies, which suggests it’s the right time for you to do the same. Whether you work or not, it looks like you’re under quite a lot of pressure at the moment. So, try not to push too hard – that includes yourself and others.

Power date: 26 June – slow it down for real

TAURUS

21 Apr to 21 May

You have to accept that life is going to be stop-start right now. Thanks to having madcap Uranus in your sign for the first time since the 1940s, life is going to feel really up and down. It’s like you’ve plugged your fingers into the socket of life. But you also feel the need to slow it down. That’s just your life as you adjust to this new cycle. It won’t take too long.

Power date: 2 June – you’ve got the power
