Overview
This month, we celebrate the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. This day marks the first day of summer. The days are longer, and we get to play in the sun longer because of the later sunsets. In the Southern Hemisphere, this day heralds the start of the winter.
The New Moon is in Gemini this month on June 3. Communication is the focus. You may be drawn to writing, or speaking or socializing with others. Listening, understanding and accepting others’ viewpoints can go a long way. Neptune will be squaring the Sun and Moon, so there is the potential for confusion and misunderstandings. There is also the possibility of getting some brilliant insights via the cosmos.
The Full Moon is in Sagittarius this month on June 17. Full Moons usually mark the release of something. It may be an end to communicating with certain individuals in your life because you had to speak your truth. Sagittarius is also associated with the law, maybe you’re dealing with a court case. There are as many variations on this theme as there are interpretations. Just know that there are cycles, and sometimes the wheel of fortune is turning in your favor and the next time it isn’t. The point is, it will return to grace you with good fortune once more, just be patient.
The Moon takes about 28 days to complete her orbit through the 12 signs, approximately two and a half days in each sign. When we say the Moon is Void-of-Course (VoC), it means the Moon makes no more major aspects to other planets until it leaves the sign it’s in. At these times, it can be difficult to get focused and accomplish tasks; you may want to relax, meditate or do something where your focus is directed inward. Don’t try to get a new project off the ground when the Moon is void. If you want to find out more about the Void of Course Moon, check out Moontracks.com.
The times below are listed in Central Daylight Time.
