NEW MOON. The next new moon, placed under the sign of Gemini, will occur this Sunday, June 18, 2023. What impact will it have on the signs of the zodiac?
[Updated Jun 16, 2023 1:58 PM] The new moon is always a key event in astrology. Depending on the time of year, the influences will obviously be very different. This Sunday, June 18, the new moon placed under the sign of Gemini is a lunation of maturity: “it expresses the desire to move on and the joy that it brings to start a new chapter”, according to Elle magazine. . The effects of the Moon vary from other astral configurations. For this new moon, air signs like Gemini will benefit more from its energy, but also an earth sign: Virgo.
What exactly to expect for these signs? At what time exactly will this astronomical phenomenon occur where the moon is not visible from the earth? If the new moon has spiritual significance in astrology, what are the scientifically proven effects? You will know more about it in our article.
If the introspection is collective, with, for all the signs, an acceleration of the tempo – “everything will move very quickly” predicts Joyce Duval of Current Woman – this new Moon of June 18 will especially have a hold on the solar signs of air :
Sunday, June 18, 2023 at exactly 6:37 minutes and 9 seconds will be the next new moon. The schedule is established by the Institute of Celestial Mechanics and Ephemeris Calculation (IMCCE).
If scientists do not validate the theory of the effects of the moon on this or that astrological sign, it would indeed exert a magneto-gravitational influence on the living. What are the effects of the new moon on our body? In our file below, you will know all about the scientifically proven effects of the new moon, its meaning, dates and times of the next ones of the year.
What effect does the new moon have on sleep?
If the new moon marks the start of a new lunar cycle, it would also affect our sleep, scientists say. Indeed, a study carried out by researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden between January 2007 and November 2009 found “a lengthening of REM sleep duration by 30 minutes” during the new moon phase. Conversely, during the full moon phase, the study observed “a decrease in sleep time of 25 minutes”, reports the journal Sciences et Avenir.
What effect does the new moon have on the tides?
The new moon also influences the tides. High tides always occur during syzygy periods, when the moon and the sun are in conjunction (new moon) or in opposition (full moon) in the same axis with the earth.
The new moon, one of the four phases of the moon based on its positioning facing the sun, occurs when the moon is positioned between the earth and the sun. Thus, its face visible from the earth is not illuminated by the sun at all. It is then difficult to observe with the naked eye, but is an interesting phase for astronomical observation, because the light of the moon interferes with the observation of the sky. The return to this same phase of the Moon (synodic period which corresponds to the duration between two identical consecutive phases of the Moon) occurs approximately every 29 days and 12 hours.
