The New Moon will occur on June 18 at 4:37 p.m. and last until approximately 10 p.m. on June 21.
Recognized as both the first and last phase of the lunar cycle, the phenomenon is often associated with new beginnings and fresh beginnings.
But according to master astrologer and author of the book Llewellyn Sun Sign, Lesley Francis, there is no overall meaning of the New Moon that can be applied to each astrological sign. In fact, it varies between everyone.
Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, she said: “Astrologically it is the Moon’s job to translate light from the Sun. So the connection between where the Sun is and where the Moon is on the day of a person’s birth says a lot about the character, temperament and how that individual looks and functions. in the world.
“The Lunar cycle begins with the New Moon and it offers a chance to create the focus for the next Moon cycle. The New Moon is a time to operate right now, jump into things spontaneously, refine and hone your instinctive nature. as a guide to the unknown.

She explained, “The key to working with the New Moon is setting your intention (both short and long term), identifying and visualizing what you desire, and making wishes (always the beginning of fulfillment). of any objective). This is not the manifestation phase. This is the phase of anticipation and novelty and discovering the seeds waiting to be planted.

Those who identify with the sign of Taurus may undergo a “major overhaul” of their personal values. Lesley claimed that “new opportunities” will arise to expand both life and its wider world, but “all in a good way” that should be embraced.
Gemini
The astrologer said, “Mentally and physically, you cannot sit still. So write things down. Otherwise, all those crazy and wonderful ideas will disappear. Relax. You don’t have to act on them now. Just keep them to have a starting point.
Cancer
People born under this zodiac sign should “expect a lot of dreams,” according to Lesley. She urged, “Embrace the creative door that is opening. It gives you the opportunity to formulate next steps and put words – at least for yourself – on your deepest desires. Something that hasn’t been easy lately.
Leo
Leo will have their hearts full during the New Moon phase, but of what, they may not be sure. The astrologer said, “Take this time to remember that your heart contains nothing but love. Everything else is a distraction. So put your brain and all those questions aside and just feel that love. It will remind you of who you are and that you are, in fact, whole.
Virgin
Lesley reassured Virgo that “it’s okay to seek recognition”. She explained, “Yes, hard work is a reward in itself but you want more and you deserve more.

She warned: “You don’t need to know the end result – it’s not a known quantity at this time. Simply choose a new path and take that first step.
Scorpio
The astrologer said, “It’s time to tune into your inner power source. And then get out your indoor vacuum. Many new and wonderful visions and ideas are waiting to be discovered, but first you must get rid of all the mental and emotional detritus that clogs your lines of transmission. Rekindle your passion.
Sagittarius
Lesley urged Sagittarius to “cherish the people in their lives.” She clarified: “It gives you the opportunity to appreciate, not only what they have brought to your life, but what they have shown you about who you are. Bringing with it an abundance of optimism and an infusion of anticipation and excitement. The fuel of your life. So be ready.

The astrologer suggested “joining the party” to “lighten your mood and kick-start some major revisions to your plans for the future.” She suggested those born under Aquarius should “chill” and reboot to add that “elusive missing piece you’ve been looking for.” She said, “Celebrate. Things percolate from there.
Pisces

It has accumulated a lot of worn thoughts, emotions and judgments about who you are that stand in the way of a new chapter in your life. Start cleaning and you will find new shoots already growing.
