Move forward and understand there is the likelihood of modifications along the way with plans under the Gemini New Moon 2026. Your original plan might unfold in a different manner.  Moving ahead with confidence anyway!
Gemini New Moon 2026

The next New Moon, which occurs on June 15, 2026, is in the sign of Gemini at 24°.  Allowing for up to a 3° orb of influence stemming from other current transiting planets, there are no planets within this degree, so this New Moon stands on its own without influence from other transiting bodies.

 

A New Moon in Gemini speaks of ideas and decisions which are subject to change and often without notice.  This does not mean that any plans that you make at this point are going to change or that moving ahead might not be such a good idea.  What it does mean is that the likelihood of change in your plans as you push forward with whatever intent you may have.

 

You may decide on one thing and then after careful consideration or some action, other agents of influence may enter the scenario.  There may be some “what ifs” and you may want to revise your plans so they fit more comfortably into your new current situation. 

 

Gemini is a mutable, air sign, which suggests that after deliberation adjustment may be made, and you can easily maneuver your way forward because you have the ability to shift and blend ideas to make them more suitable.

 

A Gemini Moon, and the Moon in general, always have to do with emotion and sensitivity, which suggests that this may be a moody period. Your feelings, which are channeled through the thinking process (because of Gemini’s influence), can be changeable because your moods fluctuate.  It is more of a thinking Moon than an emotional Moon.

 

Think things through before moving ahead with your ideas.  This helps the process and restarting or restructuring is less likely.  However, if you want to make changes to your plans, this is quite doable. Nothing is written in stone and mutable signs are flexible. 

 

Move forward with conviction, once you make up your mind which route to take. You will see what the results are in about six months’ time when we experience the Full Moon in the same sign, Gemini.

 

Much depends on the aspects in the Natal Chart to this New Moon’s position.  The aspects will determine what areas of life are involved and the way to move forward.  Taking advantage of these energies is always recommended.  Allow a 3° orb of influence with your natal chart as well and use only the major aspects especially the Conjunction and the Opposition to understand the energies.  Don’t forget to check the houses involved.

 

Do not stress over the outcome. Move forward and understand there is the likelihood of modifications along the way with the Gemini New Moon 2026. Your original plan might unfold in a different manner.  Moving ahead with confidence anyway!

The planet Mercury has to do with our thinking process.  It also has to do with evaluation, speculation, integration and information. 

 

The placement of Mercury in the Natal Astrology chart, by sign and house position along with natal aspects determines how your mind operates and how it deals with information, both favourable and challenging.  Regardless of how your Mercury is aspected in your natal chart, you have options as to how you wish to deal with life’s adversities and also how you wish to move forward when opportunity strikes.

 

The transits of Mercury & its retrograde motion are short lived as it moves quickly though the Zodiac. Mercury is neutral & needs stimulation. Use Mercury’s retrograde periods to plan & then act when Mercury goes direct.
The Transits of Mercury & Its Retrograde Motion

As Mercury moves through the Zodiac, it forms aspects to all of your planets over a relatively short period of time, quite opposite from the movement of the slow outer planets.  Mercury is known as a neutral planet, suggesting that it needs stimulation from outside sources before it becomes activated.  A transit to your Natal Mercury is quite different in energy from an aspect by Transiting Mercury to your natal positions.

 

Transiting Mercury changes signs at least once every month unless it goes into retrograde.  Retrograde motion is when a planet appears to move backwards in the Zodiac.  Outer planets are in retrograde about half of the time through the year.  Mercury remains in retrograde for about three weeks at a time.  It can change signs while in retrograde motion, therefore moving over the same degree in your chart three times until it finally moves direct again and continues its forward motion.

 

Many individuals fear Mercury while in its retrograde cycle but this is a bit of a fallacy.  What Mercury suggests while in retrograde is that you review your current plans before actually moving forward with them.  Mercury retrograde is a time for studying and integrating and then moving ahead when Mercury moves out of retrograde and back into direct motion.  We are not saying stop your plans to do or buy something. We suggest caution, however, if you are signing documents as the outcome may not go as planned.  Some challenges may interrupt the flow of things.

 

It is also important to know that those with Mercury retrograde in their birth charts may have more issues when Mercury is in retrograde by transit.  It should also be noted that Mercury must affect a planetary position or angle in your natal chart by no more than 3-4° of orb for it to have any type of effect in your chart. 

 

For example, if Mercury crosses your Sun in Gemini at 3° and your Mercury is retrograde in your birth chart, it will have an impact on your chart especially if Mercury conjuncts or is in opposition to this placement (the Sun in Gemini in our example).  Squares and Trines along with Sextiles have a lessor effect, and the energies will not be as bad as you might think they may be. 

 

Those individuals that do not have Mercury retrograde in their natal charts may experience nothing more than a minor setback, if at all, during Mercury’s retrograde cycle.

 

As a side note, all planets except for Saturn while moving through their retrograde cycle do not operate at full capacity.  Saturn, however, seems to operate with far less restrictions while in retrograde than it would in direct motion. 

 

The transits of Mercury & its retrograde motion are short lived as it moves quickly though the Zodiac. Mercury is neutral and needs stimulation. Use Mercury’s retrograde periods to plan and then act when Mercury goes direct. There is nothing to fear with Mercury retrograde.

On July 17, 2024, we reviewed some of the character traits of Sun in Leo. www.holmastrology.com/post/sun-in-leo-2024

 

Happy solar return to our Leo followers.

 

The 2024 aspects for Sun in Leo will emphasize the thinking process and communicative techniques and romance may become a focal point. Enjoy your social life and possible recognition for your enthusiasm and creative thinking.
Aspects to Sun in Leo

Today, we will look at some of the 2024 aspects for those with Sun in Leo.

 

Mercury is in retrograde from August 4 until August 27, 2024, and during this period, it will begin to influence the charts of those that have their Sun in the later degrees of Leo.  Mercury moves from Leo to Virgo on July 25 and stays in Virgo until it once again moves back into Leo on August 15 due to retrograde motion. Mercury moves from 21-29° of Leo into September and then moves back to Virgo moving forward. 

 

Anyone having their Sun in Leo from approximately 18° into its final degree will experience this conjunction of Transiting Mercury and your natal Sun.  

 

Mercury has to do with the thinking process and communicative techniques. The Sun will emphasize this capability and it will be like you know exactly what you are talking about.  This, if all else within the chart agrees, can be a great time to bring to the surface some of your ideas and goals for others to analyze, and perhaps you will receive some recognition for your enthusiasm and creative thinking. 

 

Venus moved into the sign of Leo on July 11, 2024, and will remain in Leo until August 5. Those Leonians who have Venus in conjunction with their Sun may find that their financial situation is more satisfactory, and that they can enjoy what money brings into their lives.

 

Romantic involvement may increase or become more relevant during this Venus contact. There may be more social involvement and perhaps parties or gatherings to attend.

 

The whole chart will have to correspond with the energies associated with what was just noted. The house placement will speak of where these energies will reveal themselves.  We must always look at the natal potential to fully understand the potential available as other transits will have to be configured into the equation as well. These are just short transits that will take place for our Leonian readers but these are the only ones that are noteworthy to the Sun.  There will certainly be other transits in the chart aspecting natal positions that do not affect the Sun.

 

To summarize, the 2024 aspects for Sun in Leo will emphasize the thinking process and communicative techniques and romance may become a focal point. Enjoy your social life and possible recognition for your enthusiasm and creative thinking.
