A New Moon in Gemini arrives at 02:55 UTC on June 15, 2026, and unlike most spring lunations, this one lands inside Uranus's first extended stay in Gemini since 1948 — which makes even a routine intention-setting exercise feel like it's being filed in a different archive. Mercury, Gemini's ruling planet, has already moved ahead into Cancer where it's walking toward Jupiter, meaning what you name at this New Moon doesn't stay intellectual. It deepens into something felt, and then grows.

The Transit
The Sun and Moon meet in Gemini at 24°03' on June 15, 2026 — a conjunction, the same-sign alignment that fuses two planetary energies into one expression, at the tightest pairing the chart can produce. As a New Moon, it's the seed point of the lunar cycle: the traditional astrological invitation to name what you're trying to grow over the next month. As a supermoon — a lunation that occurs near the Moon's closest approach to Earth — the seed arrives at larger physical scale, and in astrological reading, a larger felt scale.
What makes this Gemini New Moon different from the usual seasonal one is the sign's other resident. Uranus re-entered Gemini on April 25, 2026 for its seven-year transit, sitting at Gemini 2°52' on the day of the lunation — twenty-one degrees away from the Sun-Moon pair, but in the same sign. This is the first New Moon in Gemini during a Uranus-in-Gemini cycle since 1948. The intention slips into a sign that hasn't hosted Uranus in 84 years, and the cycle ahead points toward reinvention rather than repetition.
Who's Affected
The mutable cross — Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, Pisces — feels this lunation most directly because the Sun-Moon meeting sits in mutable territory. For Gemini, the New Moon is in the first house and reads as a self-naming moment. For Sagittarius, it lands across the relationship axis, surfacing what's overdue to be spoken with the closest other people. Virgo gets a career-shaped intention, Pisces a home-and-roots one. The twelve-row table further down does this per-sign work in detail.
Two outer-planet relationships shape the rest of the chart. Venus at Leo 1°56' forms a sextile to Uranus — a 60° angle that opens an opportunity if the person reaches for it — and this is the tightest major aspect on the day besides the New Moon itself. Anyone with personal placements near the early degrees of Leo, Aquarius, Gemini, or Aries tends to feel a sudden, slightly unusual yes or no around love, money, or aesthetics. Meanwhile Mercury at Cancer 18°31' is walking toward Jupiter at Cancer 26°50', still tightening toward an exact conjunction later in June; see the broader Mercury-in-Cancer summer pattern for the wider arc. The result: thoughts started at this New Moon don't stay tidy.
Mars at Taurus 20°08' anchors the chart at the slower end. Whatever you name at this lunation, Taurus Mars is the action you'll be doing in slow daily steps — not a sprint, not a launch week. Mercury and Mars are also in a tight applying sextile, a quiet collaboration between thought and follow-through that doesn't get the headlines but does the actual work. Saturn at Aries 13°18' and Neptune at Aries 4°16' sit in the same sign too, a structural-imagination tension covered in Neptune's Aries audit. The New Moon doesn't trigger them directly, but they're the surrounding weather the intention will move through.
Historical Parallels
Uranus moves through each sign for roughly seven years, and its prior Gemini visits map onto information-and-communication revolutions. The 1775–1782 cycle ran across the American Revolution and the drafting of founding documents — language as nation-building. The 1858–1866 cycle covered the telegraph boom, Darwin's On the Origin of Species, and the press-and-cable infrastructure that ran the United States Civil War. The 1941–1948 cycle delivered ENIAC, the first electronic computer; the splitting of the atom; the mass adoption of television; the founding of the United Nations. The throughline is the same — how humans transmit information rewrites who has power.
What this means for the June 15 lunation: this is the first Gemini intention-setting window during an information-revolution cycle. The current one is artificial intelligence, decentralized networks, the noise-saturated attention economy, and the renegotiation of what counts as a source. Intentions that match that arc — naming, signaling, translating, building infrastructure for how ideas move — tend to pick up a kind of cosmic wind. Intentions that try to rebuild 2018-era plans, the ones that already assumed the old information landscape, often feel oddly out of sync. That's the cost: not all goals carry forward into this sky. The reseed is real, but it lands on different soil — and Gemini, the sign of language and translation, exists to give the new soil names that travel.
How It Lands by Sign
Gemini New Moon June 2026 — How It Lands by Sign
Aries
Gemini lights your 3rd house. Naming, writing, naming again — short conversations, sibling-circle catch-ups, a hard ask drafted clean. Send it.
Taurus
Gemini hits your 2nd house. Money words, rate cards, the invoice you've been postponing. Quietly state the number you actually want.
Gemini
Your 1st house lunation — name yourself, not just your goals. The label you used last year may have already expired.
Cancer
Gemini occupies your 12th house. Private intentions, ones you don't say out loud yet. Journal the version you'd be embarrassed to admit.
Leo
Gemini fires your 11th house. Friend-group sorting, public-facing collaborations, a group chat about to change shape. Say what you want from it.
Virgo
Gemini activates your 10th house. Career story update — the title, the bio line, the pitch you give at parties. Rewrite it.
Libra
Gemini opens your 9th house. Travel pitch, course enrollment, a publishing query. Pick the bigger frame and write toward it.
Scorpio
What to Watch For
The June 15 New Moon is best read as a launching ramp, not a launch. Mercury moving toward Jupiter in Cancer means the words you name now tend to keep amplifying through late June and into July — bigger, more emotional, sometimes more than you'd planned. That's useful if you want a slow-growing wave; it's a warning if you tend to commit hard in the New Moon high and regret it by the quarter moon. The Venus-Uranus sextile, exact within a day of the lunation, suggests a sudden window for a yes around love or money, but Uranus-flavored opportunities don't usually wait politely for clarity.
Yellow lights: anything you name in the next week that requires Mars-in-Taurus follow-through needs patience, not adrenaline. Taurus Mars rewards consistent small steps and resents sudden pivots, so the project should be one you'd still want to be working on in September. With Pluto retrograde — the apparent backward motion that turns a planet's themes into review mode — at Aquarius 5°10', power-and-control questions from earlier in 2026 may quietly resurface to test the intention. Not as drama, but as a check on whether the goal is yours or borrowed. The Sagittarius Full Moon two weeks earlier may have already pulled the trigger on what needs ending; this New Moon is the planting that follows.
The arc to watch: this New Moon's intentions tend to come due around the December 2026 Sagittarius Full Moon, when the opposite sign mirrors back what got named in June. What sounded clever in a Gemini lunation gets stress-tested by Sagittarius's appetite for the bigger frame. Name something true enough that you'd still defend it in six months — and specific enough that you'd recognize it ripening when it does.
The watch-out the chart actually names: don't confuse Gemini's gift for naming with the work of doing. The sign is brilliant at the framing pass and notoriously skittish around the execution one. With Mercury drifting toward Jupiter and a Mercury retrograde period due later in the summer cycle, intentions that don't survive a second look will get one anyway. Better to name fewer, name slower, and let the Mars-in-Taurus follow-through earn the result over months rather than weeks.
When is the New Moon in Gemini exact in June 2026?
The Gemini New Moon is exact at 02:55 UTC on June 15, 2026 — which is 10:54 PM Eastern time on June 14. Sun and Moon meet at 24°03' Gemini, the tightest possible orb. It's also a supermoon, the closest lunar approach of the cycle.
Which signs feel the June 2026 Gemini New Moon most?
Mutable signs — Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo, and Pisces — feel this lunation most directly, since the Sun and Moon meet near 24° of mutable Gemini. Early-Leo and early-Aquarius placements catch a secondary wave through the tight Venus-Uranus sextile that lands within a day of the New Moon itself.
Is the June 2026 New Moon a good time to start a new project?
A New Moon is the standard intention-setting window of the lunar cycle, and this one's communication-heavy Gemini flavor especially favors naming, drafting, and outreach. With Mars slow in Taurus, expect to launch quietly and build rather than blitz — the project should be one you'd genuinely want to sustain past summer.
Should I avoid signing contracts during this Gemini New Moon?
Not for the lunation itself — there's no contract-signing block on a New Moon. The watch-out for this one is Mercury's slow approach to Jupiter in Cancer through late June, which can inflate promises; pad timelines and double-check the small print on any agreement signed in the two weeks after June 15.
How long do Gemini New Moon intentions take to manifest?
The traditional rhythm is a six-month arc: what's seeded at the June 15, 2026 New Moon often comes due around the Sagittarius Full Moon in December 2026, when the opposite sign mirrors back what got named. Quarter moons in between function as built-in pressure tests on the intention.
Gemini lands in your 8th house. Joint money, shared resources, an inheritance conversation. Ask the question you've been routing around.
Sagittarius
Gemini activates your 7th house. Partnership terms — what you actually want named, signed, witnessed. Speak the agreement aloud.
Capricorn
Gemini hits your 6th house. Workflow, health routine, the small daily system that's secretly running you. Redraft one ritual.
Aquarius
Gemini sparks your 5th house. Creative pitch, dating language, the play instinct. Make something just for the pleasure of naming it.
Pisces
Gemini lights your 4th house. Home conversations, family threads, ancestral story. Say something true in your kitchen.
