Thoughts flutter and words come easily. Gemini days suit conversation, writing, and quick errands; focusing on one thing is harder.
New moon
The Moon and the Sun stand on the same side of Earth today, so the unlit half faces us and the Moon stays hidden near the Sun’s glare. The lunar cycle starts over. In lunar tradition, these are days for planning and starting fresh rather than pushing hard.
Seen from the Northern Hemisphere, the Moon is near the highest turn of its monthly path across the sky, where it switches from climbing to descending.

Lunar day 30
The thirtieth lunar day closes the cycle: weigh what it brought, forgive, and prepare for a new beginning.
Lunar days are counted from the new moon: day 1 begins at the new moon, and a cycle has 29 or 30 of them. Tradition gives each day its own character.
Health by lunar tradition
In lunar tradition, extra care goes to the shoulders, arms, hands, and lungs.
Smokers find Gemini days harder, tradition says, and breathing exercises are the day’s classic practice. Light exercise for the arms and shoulders suits the day; tradition skips the heavy weights.
The June new moon favors the skin, tradition says: fruit, vegetables, and a day without packaged sweets.
Warm the fingers and wrists before work with a short palm massage and a drop of oil.
In June, think of hydration and sun protection: a high-SPF sunscreen and shade at midday. Tick season is in full swing; check yourself after time in grass and woods.
Food by lunar tradition
- Favored today
- Fats and oils
Gemini days are the days of fats and oils in lunar tradition. Nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil, and oily fish are the day’s focus. A small amount of something sharp, such as a teaspoon of mustard or horseradish, is the traditional companion. Fried and greasy food, on the other hand, is said to sit heavily even in a small portion.
The new moon is a traditional day of light eating: in lunar lore the body lets go most willingly at this point of the cycle.
June is the month of strawberries, cherries, and the first peas; lettuce and young kohlrabi arrive. Light summer meals go well with fresh herbs.
Reach for seasonal foods that suit the day: salads with herbs, oil, and seeds.
Tip of the day: a handful of nuts instead of a sweet, in keeping with the day.
Garden by the moon
- Plant part
- Flower
June is the month of growth and the first harvest: strawberries, peas, lettuce, and, late in the month, early potatoes. Sow more beans and summer lettuce, and plant out seedlings for the fall harvest: kale, cauliflower, and leeks. Water regularly and mulch.
In the herb-gathering tradition, Gemini days are for herbs meant for the lungs and for easing tense muscles.
Gemini days are flower days: tradition points to the ornamental beds, to broccoli and cauliflower, and to anything you want to bloom.
A flower day favors ornamentals and flowering vegetables, right now especially cauliflower.
The harvest is coming in: spring lettuce, early potatoes, and strawberries.
Seasonal advice is for the Northern Hemisphere’s temperate zone; south of the equator, swap the seasons. For the best days of the month, see planting by the moon and the lunar hair calendar.
