With the New Moon falling in an air sign, those ruled by the changing winds will be blessed with a fresh start.
'Focus on fundamentals in life like health, wealth, and home. The Queen of Coins is a rising power, a new force, a shift in control and responsibility,' said Ward.
'You are taking ownership for one or more of these areas and making plans and steps that improve your future prospects in one or all of them. And it all boils down to your own actions. You are carving out your destiny this New Moon.'

Ward says that under the New Moon, water signs are guided by the harnessed energy and get up and go impetus of The Chariot.
'The Chariot is all about purposeful travel and movement. Book that trip, be it a holiday, a weekend getaway, a retreat or moving house. It could even mean investing in a new vehicle that enables you to get where you need to go. This is a powerful card. Think about where you are and where you want or need to be, and make the leap.'

'New Moons are about new beginnings, but often the embryo of a fresh start is an old ending. Something has run its course, concluded and played out in full. Let it go. Your New Moon activation task is to release, quit, sever ties or cut cords with something that is fading, false, or stale in your life.'
All release, no regrets.
Earth signs – Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Five of Swords
4 Earth signs should venture out and try something new.
@inlovewithcameras
Ward notes that a New Moon equates to a new chapter for Earth babies and a master class in the art of forgiveness.
'Turn the page, especially in any and all conflicts. Make peace, make a truce, make a new pact to move forward with a clean slate and a clear trajectory.'
Ward assures that not only will this slate clearing offer profound relief, but it will free up your prodigious energies for more purposeful pursuits.
'Maybe it's time to start something new and interesting! Gemini encourages you to consider a course, a trip, or a new creative endeavor.'

However, for more difficult or demanding chores, it could be hard to find the motivation needed to get anything done. If there is work or responsibilities to handle, a slow and steady approach will enable us to be productive without wearing ourselves out.

Daily Horoscope for June 21, 2025

General Daily Insight for June 21, 2025 We can push our way forward without breaking our backs today. The Moon is in reliable Taurus, where it will first trine Mars in Virgo, inspiring us to act, before going on to square Pluto in Aquarius, stirring up our desire for change. Mars will then go on to make a rare, beautiful sextile to enthusiastic Jupiter in Cancer at 11:49 pm EDT, offering almost everyone a burst of energy late in the day. This probably won't be a quiet evening. Aries March 21 – April 19 You can make your home into anything you want it to be, Aries. Your sign's traditional ruling planet, fierce Mars, is in your efficient 6th house, where it sextiles lucky Jupiter in your domestic 4th house. Don't let them egg you on too much — be wary of knocking down any walls unless you're sure they aren't load-bearing! Still, this energy encourages big changes, so don't be shocked if you feel the urge to completely renovate your space. Practically anything feels possible right now. Taurus April 20 – May 20 There has rarely been a better day to hit the town. Passionate Mars in your 5th House of Fun is embracing bountiful Jupiter in your 3rd House of Local Community. Jump out of bed and head straight into town, because you're practically bound to encounter some exciting opportunities if you do! This could be great for romantic encounters, but you can also have a terrific time with friends. Ultimately, just avoid being anti-social when there is so much for you to go and explore. Gemini May 21 – June 20 Get grounded in your ambitions. A special sextile between Mars in your foundational 4th house and Jupiter in your money-loving 2nd house is encouraging you to work as hard as you can to earn tangible results. Energetic Mars will provide you with all the energy required to make it happen, while Jupiter simultaneously offers you the opportunity to succeed. Don't sit back and let this slip through your fingers! You can achieve quite a bit if you put in the work and believe in yourself. Cancer June 21 – July 22 There is no holding you back! A lovely sextile between energetic Mars in your communication sector and fortuitous Jupiter in your loyal sign is encouraging you to speak up and take action in the name of whatever it is you want. Your energy will be at an all-time high, so try to find a productive outlet for yourself — or else you might wind up going in circles. Pick a path forward, then get going. You can take yourself practically wherever you like. Leo July 23 – August 22 Think outside the box — and work outside it, too. The planets are encouraging you to open your mind up as Mars in your grounded 2nd house uplifts Jupiter in your mysterious 12th house. You can reach distant places by taking unusual routes. Surprising windows of opportunity are everywhere, and their unusual nature won't hold you back from building them into very real and very positive results. This is the perfect time to develop a million-dollar idea (or even a billion-dollar idea). Virgo August 23 – September 22 The stars are putting you in charge. Mars in your meticulous sign is pushing you to work harder and express yourself more authentically than ever before. As the red planet is currently emboldening enthusiastic Jupiter in your communal 11th house, people near and far are more inclined to let you call the shots. You may not usually consider yourself the leader type, but you have more ability than you may even know! There's no need to limit yourself during this exciting time. Libra September 23 – October 22 There is no need to rush anything, Libra. Thanks to today's stunning sextile between Mars in your dreamy 12th house and Jupiter in your professional 10th house, you can get places easily and reach new heights without needing to wear yourself out in your attempts to make it happen. Think of today like a roller coaster — you may not have a lot of control over where you're going, but it is going to be a fun ride, nonetheless. Buckle up and have fun! Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Working together is key to your success. Mars in your 11th House of Global Communities is invigorating Jupiter in your 9th House of Expansion, so the best way forward is going to include having quite a few people by your side. Opportunities may arrive from far away, but you should have a much easier time making use of them when you allow others to play their part and contribute to your hopes and dreams. What you're about to accomplish could change your life. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 The work you do presently can have massive results. The skies are hosting a potent sextile between action planet Mars in your 10th House of Career and bountiful Jupiter in your 8th House of Shared Resources. You are likely in no mood to waste your time with busywork or inconsequential tasks! A fresh opportunity on the professional front could yield a nice windfall, or perhaps you'll finally receive your just rewards for a project you've been hammering away at. You've definitely earned this. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 Someone has something special to offer you! Your expansion sector is all lit up, thanks to warrior Mars currently marching through that territory, boosting you to fly far and wide. Plus, you probably won't want to fly alone when Mars hypes up Jupiter in your relationship sector. Someone could show you the world in a way you've never imagined — no magic carpet required. You're all but guaranteed to love the experience, as well as the destination, so hop on without delay. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 You have all the drive you need to move mountains. A spectacular sextile between Mars in your all-or-nothing 8th house and Jupiter in your can-do 6th house is pushing you to be your most productive self. Jupiter will do its level best to ensure the process is not too difficult — it might even be fun! Mars, in turn, points you toward tangible rewards for your efforts. Burning the midnight oil at present could result in some pretty stupendous fireworks, so don't hold back. Pisces February 19 – March 20 This could be one of the loveliest moments of the year for you. A harmonious alignment between Mars in your partnership sector and Jupiter in your passion sector is setting you up for a day of fun and frolicking, specifically with someone special by your side. Whether they are a lover, a business partner, or a very close friend, consider allowing someone you trust to call the shots for the time being. This person should set up something unbelievably amazing!
