Good morning and Happy Pride Month! 🌈
I absolutely love how Pride Month starts in Gemini Season and ends in Cancer.
Why?
So many people share their authentic selves during this month, and hopefully find safety and acceptance along the way. I am a mom of an amazing member of this community and have been a proud ally my whole life.
Why does it matter to me?
Because accepting people how they want to be accepted and acknowledged is important. It helps everyone feel safe and loved. Holding space for people in this way is how I live my life every single day of the year — and it is the kindest thing you can ever do.
If you have someone in your life who is struggling, please have them call 988. t is a Suicide and Crisis Lifeline that is free and available 24/7. Sharing your truth is not always met with acceptance, and that can feel very lonely. The people at 988 have resources to help, as do those at The Trevor Project.🌈
This week may feel very reflective — not just because we are entering the last week of the Moon cycle, but because Mercury is now in Cancer too. As we move through June and July we will experience his retrograde in this sign. Starting to notice patterns between now and June 12th may be helpful in seeing what themes this retrograde will bring in.
On June 14th we will have the Gemini New Moon, and to prepare for it we will gather on Saturday, June 13th at 11 am CT / 9 am PT / 12 pm ET / 5 pm London. More info on everything involved is below. 🌙

✨ June 6 - 8 | Pisces Last Quarter Moon
The Moon moves into Pisces at 7:42 am CT Saturday.
Under a Pisces Moon it is normal to feel extra sensitive or even teary from time to time. Our compassion for humanity also tends to elevate during this time of the month. It is also easy to check out if you get overwhelmed this weekend. That said, you could have some very inspired and creative ideas pop in too — if that is the case, note them down even if they do not make sense for the time at hand.
As a result, it is helpful to know your ways of decompressing in a healthy way. I always give the example of setting timers if you want to take a nap, and being aware of how much you consume of anything — from social media to things that alter our minds like substances or beverages. This is a water sign, so if things do feel frustrating, doing things that help you go with the flow may help — like dancing, listening to music, drinking water, taking a bath, or going swimming. 💧
It is good to have these helpers in your back pocket, as we will be building to the Last Quarter Moon that peaks on Monday at 5 am CT all weekend long. With that build we may find unexpected highs or lows throughout the weekend, our minds tapping into our intuition that much more easily — especially during conversations — and your dreamscape very active.
After the Last Quarter Moon peaks, you may start to notice frustrations begin to subside. On Monday from 7:38 pm CT to 3:33 am CT Tuesday we will enter a Void of Course period that could have you feeling like you want to curl up with a great movie — and your dreams may be very active again. Pisces loves to dream after all! If you are looking for a movie recommendation I absolutely suggest Project Hail Mary. It is a perfect movie for this sky — figuring out the unknown, saving humanity, and creating new ways to communicate with one of my new favorite characters, Rocky. 🎬
This will be our last longer Void of Course period until the end of the month, so here are your reminders:
✅ Great for: – Meditating – Finishing up existing projects – Taking a walk – Resting or napping – Creating a to-do list Monday to use Tuesday
🚫 Maybe skip: – Starting something brand new – Making major decisions – Being hard on yourself 🤪
✨ June 9-10 | Void of Course → Aries Moon
We shift from the Void of Course Moon that started Monday at 7:38 pm CT to an Aries Moon at 3:33 am Tuesday. An Aries Moon in Gemini Season can feel fast and impulsive. It can also wear you out as we are getting so close to the end of this cycle. If things get hard moving your body may help.
With the Moon's visit to Aries, all the outer planets will be talking with her in their own ways. It may be easy to access transformational feelings about your inner healing, tap into your intuition just that much more easily, want to make sure your ducks are in a row, and of course be ready to expect the unexpected. All of this on a Tuesday no less! 😄
In the afternoon around 3 pm CT, Venus and Jupiter will be holding hands. This is one of those lucky days that happens every year. Every time a planet holds hands with another it is called a conjunction — and it marks the beginning of a new cycle. How long is that cycle? Well, as long as it takes for them to get back to holding hands again. Venus and Jupiter are known as the two benefics of the zodiac — meaning even when they have squares and oppositions that can feel frustrating or activating to navigate, good things typically come out of it, even if you do not see it that way right away.
They meet up at 25° Cancer, and the house that falls in is where you may feel called to navigate emotional healing, relationships, and wanting to bring comfort to yourself or others. The Cancer archetype is the reason for it. This is a very supportive transit for family bonding, home improvements, and wanting to bring more peace to your life. It would be a great day to focus on self care, have a wonderful meal, and get comfy and cozy. 🌙
As we move through Tuesday into Wednesday, your thoughts may feel conflicted or even confused about what the next best step forward looks like. It will be good to check in with yourself throughout both days — with your boundaries and making sure you double check information before acting on it. It can also be a very creative time, as you may feel the urge to act on something, write it out, or even draw. ✨
✨ June 11 - 12 | Aries Moon → Taurus Moon
Another two-act day to start our Thursday, as we will have an Aries Moon until 9:31 pm CT when she moves into Taurus. There is only about a 5-hour VOC window from 4:30–9:31 pm CT to be aware of.
Before the Moon changes signs, Mercury — our mind and communication — will meet up with the Sun (ego) and hold hands. This can lead to interesting insights throughout the day that you feel you can move forward with. You get to decide the timing, as always.
When the Moon officially moves into Taurus, you may find yourself reflecting on what the last 30 days of this Moon cycle has shown you as we move through Friday and into Saturday. We will have a Taurus Moon with a Taurus Sun, so I would advise giving yourself plenty of time to get where you are going if you are out and about. Going too fast can sometimes make people feel grouchy when the Sun and Moon are both in Earth signs, after all.
The New Moon happens at 3 pm CT on Saturday, May 16th— I'll share more at the New Moon Circle on the 13th and in next week's email. Also, be watching for a special announcement regarding my book on Sunday the 17th!
✨ Final Thoughts
✨ Final Thoughts
This week invites you to slow down, reflect, and pay attention to what is coming up for you beneath the surface. From a deeply sensitive and dreamy Pisces Last Quarter Moon to a fast-moving Aries Moon, a beautiful Venus-Jupiter conjunction bringing lucky and loving energy, and a grounding Taurus Moon to close out the week — there is a little bit of everything this week. Mercury entering his pre-shadow period on Friday is your signal that the Universe is already laying the groundwork for what this retrograde season will bring. Start noticing the patterns, the conversations, and the ah-ha moments now. They matter more than you might think.
We close out the week on the eve of something special. The Gemini New Moon is almost here — and before she arrives we will gather together on Saturday, June 13th at 11 am CT / 9 am PT / 12 pm ET / 5 pm London for the Gemini New Moon Circle. This is where we slow down, go deeper with the chart and the timing, and work with this lunation intentionally — together. If you have been curious about joining us, this is a beautiful place to start. You can register through the Link to All Things. I hope to see you there! 🌙
With love and stardust,
Sarah
