New Moon June 2024 Astrology
Sun conjunct Moon represents the end of one cycle and the beginning of another new 28-day cycle. It gives a refreshing burst of energy and initiative. But it also brings emotional balance, not irrationally emotional, and not too cold and calculating.
So, the new moon in June 2024 is excellent for making a fresh start, turning over a new leaf, or starting a new project. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs while searching for new and inventive ways to progress.
Venus and the New Moon
New Moon conjunct Venus (0°30′) focuses your attention on companionship, pleasure, creativity and finances. You place more value on harmony and ease. Lovely people, comfortable environments and sound finances will improve your self-worth and self-esteem.
This positive Venus influence makes the June 2024 new moon ideal for dating, engagement, marriage and improving love relationships because you should feel more affectionate and appear more sexually attractive and charismatic. Finding unconditional love with a soul mate is more likely now.
A desire for peace and harmony means you should have good diplomatic skills. You can easily make friends and win over enemies. However, a more sympathetic and compassionate nature risks compromising too much to keep the peace. Sugarcoating unpleasant realities is another possibility. The new moon and Venus square Saturn may cause problems with overindulgence, extravagance or laziness.
The Venus Cycle
The Sun conjunct Venus on June 4, 2024, marked a significant turning point in the Venus Cycle. Since August 2023, Venus has risen as the Morning Star before the Sun. It is too close to the Sun now to be visible, but from late July 2024, it will set after the Sun as the Evening Star.
In ancient times these sharp contrasting appearances of Venus and her cyclic withdrawal from human sight became incorporated into her mythological characteristics. The Mesopotamians knew her, not only as the Goddess of Love and Procreation, but also as the Goddess of War… Her evening manifestation was said to bring men and women to the act of love in bed, but her morning appearance woke them up to go to war. [1]
Based on recent events, this ancient belief still seems to hold true. The list below shows that Venus’s culmination as the Morning Star coincided with the most intense period of the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in late October 2023.
This gives hope that astrologically, the new moon of June 2024 marks a significant turning point in Venus’s cycle and the cycle of war and peace. As the Morning Star, Venus should make everyone more loving, peaceful, cooperative and diplomatic.

Saturn Restrictions
New Moon square Saturn (2°41′) can make it harder to reach your goals. You may face tests, challenges, criticism or deadlines. Extra burdens, fears, guilt and relationship tension can make you pessimistic, frustrated, and depressed. Parents, superiors or governments may try to assert their authority or restrict your freedom.
However, hardships caused by Saturn trigger an energetic response to struggle through difficulties and achieve things. You can draw on patience, determination, and a strong work ethic to take responsibility, overcome resistance, reduce inhibitions and fears, unblock deadlocks, and take on conflicts.
Venus square Saturn (2°10′) does not mean you cannot find love, enjoy harmony or make money. But it does mean you will probably have to work harder to achieve these things. Financial pressures may necessitate economizing, refinancing or downsizing. Extra effort may be needed to improve your self-image, self-esteem or appearance.
Although you may find it harder to show affection, your loved ones may need more attention and care. If you seek love, now is the time to overcome shyness, inhibition or procrastination. A sound love relationship will withstand any hardship,but a crisis is possible in a negative relationship. The June 2024 new moon is ideal for taking responsibility for yourself and leaving a destructive or abusive relationship.
New Moon Constellation
The new moon in June 2024 is in the Sign of Gemini, but as the star map below shows, it is in the Constellation of Taurus. The Signs and the Constellations do not match up. Over the last 2000 years, the Constellations have moved nearly 30° out of alignment with the Signs because of the precession of the equinoxes.
The Zodiac was invented only as a measuring device. The degrees on the ecliptic line in the image below equate to those in the New Moon horoscope. I use the Fixed Star and Constellation like the ancient astrologers, not the Signs and Houses of modern astrology.

Fixed Star Rigel
Rigel gives splendor, honor, happiness, self-reliance, success that brings riches and eminence, [2] benevolence, glory, renown, inventive or mechanical ability, [3] great ambition, a broad outlook, church or martial preferment, and good luck in business. [4] Rigel has particular meaning when found in charts of government officials, military people, politicians, leaders of political parties, barristers and priests. [5]
With the New Moon:Bold, courageous, great good fortune, military success, insolent, unruly temper, hasty actions, bloodshed, many enemies. [3]High preferment in astrology, religion and all public matters. Significant gains in the career are accompanied by hard work, wealth, and lasting honors, but mental anxiety and some setbacks and sorrows are possible. [4]
Quick rise due to strong willpower, love of action, and a lucky hand in enterprise. A continuous battle to retain an acquired position has to be waged. This fight, at the same time, stimulates an increase in vigor. This powerful concentration can secure success and reach the set aim despite unhelpful aspects. However, any lack of caution or attack of weakness will bring failure, disappointments, and a fall from success. [5]
With Venus: Favors and a good, influential marriage, especially if female. [2] High honors, perhaps in an unusual manner. Domestic problems are possible, concealed or otherwise. [3]
New Moon June 2024 Meaning
Venus, the planet of love and money, most significantly influences the astrology of the June 2024 new moon. The Sun-Venus conjunction marks a critical turning point in the cycle of Venus. The change from Venus from the Morning Star to the Evening Star heralds a shift from hate and war to love and peace.
The June 6 new moon square Saturn can make it more difficult to achieve peace and prosperity. But it also motivates you to work harder to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. The star Rigel also gives ambition and good fortune, leading to success, honor and wealth.
In summary, the new moon with Venus, the change in the Venus cycle, and the positive side of Rigel promise love, peace, money and success. However, Saturn and the negative side of Rigel mean that hard work, patience and caution are needed to achieve success and keep the gains.
The influence of the June 6 new moon lasts four weeks up to the July 5 new moon. The best time to start new projects is during the two-week waxing moon phase, from June 6 to the June 21 full moon.
