Plant the seeds of intention during June's

New Moon

The airy Gemini New Moon on June 16, 2015, informs us that we can't rest on previous accomplishments.

We are in an information-gathering phase and we must remain open to the incoming stream of data. Even if we grow weary and want to shut out the noise, resistance is futile because the intensity of this New Moon is fired up by its conjunction with red-hot Mars. There's little we can do but fully engage the present moment.

However, the changeable Gemini New Moon is also a harbinger of intriguing distractions that complicate our decision-making process. Every separate event seems like the most significant one, yet each one takes its turn in the spotlight and then quickly fades away. Our lesson is about impermanence. Although initiating action is wise while superhero Mars is in the picture, this moment, too, shall pass. It's time to plant our seeds of intention now and nurture them over the days ahead.

Aries Horoscope (March 21 - April 19)

The noisy Gemini New Moon joins forces with your ruling planet Mars in your 3rd House of Information, filling your mind with data that can actually prevent you from seeking the deeper meaning of your experiences. There are so many things you want to start that you can't keep up with your own agenda. You may be preoccupied with all the external commotion, while wishing you had a chance to seek the pleasures you believe are waiting for you somewhere nearby. Keep your dreams alive by talking about them when you can. Don't lose hope; your time will come sooner than you think.

Taurus Horoscope (April 20 - May 20)

You're unabashedly concerned about money with the Gemini New Moon activating your 2nd House of Resources. Unfortunately, you might not be able to fully relax until your material world feels secure. It's quite disconcerting if you're consumed by the realization that you're not as financially comfortable as you wish. But nothing is preventing you from reconsidering where to go next. You must make a choice; you can always change your mind along the way. Prosperity is yours for the taking.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 - June 20)

If you're all tangled up in your thoughts, remember that curiosity is a common Gemini trait and you need to play out all the alternatives before narrowing it down to just one. However, the inquisitive New Moon in your sign prompts you to obsess over irrelevant details. It's natural to feel a bit lost in your own mental maze, but you're perfectly safe and exactly where you need to be. Ruthlessly exploring every option available empowers you to make the best choice for your future.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 - July 22)

Your powerful dreams serve a very important purpose, and you would quickly lose interest in your future without the inspiration they provide. You often look back to the past when you are worried about what's ahead, but the mischievous Gemini New Moon dancing in your 12th House of Destiny may have your fantasies working on overdrive. Try not to push your current concerns away; instead, embrace your thoughts as messages from within. But be ready to take them to the next level by giving yourself permission to reach for the stars.

Leo Horoscope (July 23 - Aug. 22)

If you're struggling to hold on to the status quo at work, it's helpful to reassess your goals while the clever Gemini New Moon is triggering your 11th House of Dreams and Wishes. Your mental agility enables you to run circles around others. However, you must also be willing to learn something new about yourself or people will think you're just playing games. There's no need to bluff your way through the situation as long as you stay open to the lessons at hand. Being a student of life keeps you in touch with the wonders of the world.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)

Others are supporting your pursuit of a particular professional path while the interactive Gemini New Moon emphasizes your 10th House of Career. However, you have additional goals that might not be recognizable by your current choices. Thankfully, it isn't necessary to reveal your inner conflicts yet. In fact, sharing your true feelings only confuses your coworkers and complicates matters even more. Research your options in the privacy of your own mind before putting them out in the open for everyone to see.

Libra Horoscope (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)

You are highly motivated to let go of desires that only have a small chance of being fulfilled as the whimsical Gemini New Moon highlights your 9th House of Big Ideas. You have reached a fork in the road where you're eager to make dramatic changes in order to spice up your life. Even if you're impatient to embark on your next adventure, you still have to put your plans in order. Don't sweat the small stuff; concentrate on your exciting long-term goals rather than the tedious details of the day.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Be careful about complicating a tricky situation as the scattered Gemini New Moon influences your 8th House of Intimacy. You are fueled by an insatiable desire to explain the unexplainable as you drive toward achieving your lofty goals. Your current assumption that the outcome will be an all-or-nothing one muddies the waters even more. The best way to avoid problems in the future is to be honest in the present. Keep all communication channels clear of any possible misunderstandings by being more transparent in all of your interactions.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

You could be struggling to find a healthy balance between pursuing your dreams and living up to everyone else's expectations. The dualistic Gemini New Moon falls in your 7th House of Relationships, tempting you to leave your fate in the hands of others. Your current dilemma stems from your illusion that you can have it both ways. Thankfully, your diplomatic skills rise to the occasion, but you still must eventually make your choice because you can't serve two masters at once. Don't get swept up in the moment and rush your decision; allow plenty of time for your inner voice to make itself heard.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

A coworker might believe you are acting selfishly, but you know that you must attend to your own needs before you can truly help those around you. You may feel a bit overwhelmed with everything that's going on; you won't be much good to yourself or anyone else until you establish a workable rhythm in your everyday life. Nevertheless, the information-rich Gemini New Moon lands in your 6th House of Daily Routine, enabling you to increase your efficiency so you have the time and energy to be of service to others.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You may be so quick to change your story for each new audience that it's hard to know where you stand on any given subject. The flexible Gemini New Moon inspires your 5th House of Romance, motivating you to share your heart's desires. But don't be overly concerned about impressing anyone with your song and dance; if you please yourself, everyone else will jump on your bandwagon. Being loved starts with learning to love yourself more.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb. 19 - March 20)

You're highly protective of your home and family because subconsciously you realize that everything can't stay the same forever. The fickle Gemini New Moon occupies your 4th House of Foundations, prompting you to overcompensate and justify your behavior as you cling to familiar feelings. Ironically, it's your attachment to the past that destabilizes the present. Instead of resisting the inevitable, become a secret agent of change.
