Sadly, no matter what telescope you have, or if youre hoping to see something spectacular in your garden, its unlikely youll get to see a glimpse of whats about to occur. Thats because the occasion taking place on June 10 is the New Moon. The New Moon is an event in the lunar calendar. It marks the end of one cycle and commences the start of a new one. But, unlike some astrology events, this one isnt visible to us on Earth. Still, there are a number of important happenings which are going on this month for astrology fans, including the solar eclipse and Strawberry Moon, some which you may be able to spot. In this piece, however, were focusing on the New Moon. Heres everything you need to know about the New Moon. The New Moon will take place on Thursday, June 10, 2021. The time it is expected to occur is at 10.54pm. It is happening then as that is when the moon and sun are expected to join together in the sky. Its not visible to us on Earth for the few seconds the moon is new, but does start to become visible as it appears as a thin shed of light. This light from the new moon will affect us on Earth for about three days before and after it happens. For people who observe the New Moon, it represents the end of one lunar cycle and the start of a brand new cycle. It is a moment for people to reflect on whats already been and to make new plans for the start of a new cycle. This could mean completing that home DIY that youve always wanted to, or finish writing that book youve been working on for a number of years. Whatever it is, it is going to mean setting new aims or goals. The process of a new moon happens once a month, so it is a good time to reflect and set new ambitions for the new cycle. Some people really get into the spirit of a New Moon and begin doing things to mark the event. One of the ways that people do this is by lighting candles. The idea of this is that the candle will bring extra light into your life. Let it burn and see how you get on. Another option is to make a sacred space. This can help with mindfulness and meditation, and ultimately, is aimed at removing all the negative energy from your life. Try moving your furniture to create a nice, calm space. The New Moon occurs once a month. The next event will happen on Saturday, July 10, 2021. At that time, you can reflect on how far youve come in terms of achieving your June goals and get ready to make some new ones for July. If you cant wait another month for the next New Moon, you could always try to catch a glimpse of the solar eclipse, also taking place on June 10. Then, on Thursday, June 24, 2021, the Strawberry Moon, which is springs last full moon, will appear, which is another key astrology happening.
