On June 10, 2021, a solar eclipse brings the sun and moon together in a phenomenon known in astrology as the “new moon”. This will take place in Gemini, which is linked to communication and intelligence. Creating a burst of energy, the eclipse will shake things up, pushing us out of our comfort zone and helping open doors to new opportunities.
With the new moon, it’s the perfect time to look forward. Challenging old attitudes and beliefs, the new moon in Gemini also allows us to reflect on our relationships and unlock our deepest desires. Working from a clean slate, take this opportunity to reflect on how you want to move forward through the rest of the year, creating fresh habits and seizing new opportunities.
However, there is a catch. Gemini’s ruling planet, Mercury, is in retrograde until later in the month. As the planet appears to move backward, this can make communication challenging. Searching for the path forward, you may find yourself torn between clarity and confusion.
Don’t worry, this is normal! Go with the flow, listening to your heart and mind. Processing your thoughts over the next few days, everything will become clearer.
The eclipse will have the greatest impact on Gemini and Sagittarius. However, every sign will be affected in some way. Check below to see today’s horoscope based on your zodiac sign.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
The new moon is giving you a surge of energy and confidence! You’ll be at the top of your game, finding that it’s easier than usual to get people to see things your way. Take time to consider what you really want before you set any wheels in motion. Once you get people on your side, it will be hard to change course later on in the month.
CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Reflecting on your relationships, you may be eager to hash out issues from the past. However, friends and family aren’t as excited to take a walk down memory lane, especially if they were in the wrong. Not getting the resolution you want may cause you to feel restless and irritable, but don’t completely abandon your hopes of finding closure. Everything will work itself out by the end of the month.
LEO (July 23 – Aug. 22)
You’re on fire! Today brings an opportunity to develop new relationships and to expand your network. You’ll find it easy to connect with people from various backgrounds, rocketing your relationships forward. However, not everyone has the best intentions. Be cautious of oversharing personal details with acquaintances, you can’t trust everyone you meet today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)
Reaching some of your goals has seemed like an uphill battle. It’s time to assess whether the frustration is worth it. Your current challenges could be a result of the universe telling you you’re on the wrong path. Take a moment today to consider where you want to be in the future and whether your current goals align with your vision.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)
Don’t feel guilty about stepping back today, taking some time to relax. They say that good things come to those who wait and in your case, that’s certainly true! You’ll find that things begin to fall into place without you having to work too hard. Focus on positivity and that energy will come back to you multiplied.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)
The eclipse will have you feeling empowered and confident. You’ll be focused on individual tasks and activities, feeling uncomfortable at the idea of letting others take the reigns. Don’t feel the need to take on more than you can handle alone. You can rely on those closest to you to support you and help pursue your new agenda.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)
A miscommunication will leave you doubting an existing relationship in your personal or professional life. Carving out time to discuss your concerns in person will help you understand where the other person is coming from. Once you hash things out, you’ll have a good idea of whether this relationship is worth saving or if the person you thought you knew
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)
You may be feeling anxious and unusually uncertain, especially when it comes to your work. This can spill over into your personal life as well, making you feel more impatient and less understanding of your loved ones. Although you may feel the need to control things more, this is actually a time to let go and just go with the flow. The universe is telling you that there are some changes you need to make in your career to get you on the right path.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)
Tap into your creative side, it’s time to think big! Your mind is unlocked today, making you open to thinking about the dreams you’ve never thought possible. Use your newfound energy to start thinking about how you’ll remove obstacles from your path. Once you’ve tackled the things that have been holding you back, you’ll find that your wildest dreams are not as unattainable as you once thought!
PISCES (Feb. 19 – March 20)
Positive energy from the eclipse will give you a sense of comfort and a new peace of mind. This is a time to embrace your positivity and build new friendships, romantic and workplace relationships. Your existing friends and coworkers may stir up some drama, but this is not the time to get involved. Let others work through their issues without feeling obligated to choose sides.
ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
Speak now or forever hold your peace! If there’s been something you’ve wanted to get off your chest, now is the time to clear the air. Make sure you know exactly what you want to say and use the new moon’s energy to help you craft the right words to deliver your message in a constructive, positive way. Overall, it’s a great day to start moving forward in your relationships and at work.
TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Today you’ll be feeling confident in your own skin. Listen to your intuition, you’re in tune with the universe and able to pick up on nonverbal cues and identify places or situations that just don’t feel right. With the new moon, you may be more driven to move to a new home or redecorate where you are. Make sure you’re paying extra attention when making financial decisions, Mercury in retrograde can lead to misinterpretation of contracts and financial statements.
