This weekend, there’s a New Moon in Gemini, the star sign of duality. Gemini rules communication which means this is an important New Moon for talk, conversation, negotiations and ideas.
Find yourself a friend (or an enemy), have those all important heart-to-hearts and use the dynamic New Moon energy to start the ball rolling, initiate a conversation and get things moving.
Notice your mind and whether it’s unusually busy. Air signs, like Gemini, can overthink things and you may be worrying more during this New Moon phase.
If you’re feeling the weight of taskmaster Saturn turning retrograde this weekend (especially significant if you have planets/angles close to 7° Pisces), stop for a while and slow things down. Pause, rest and get ready to move forward once again as the new week begins.
Also, double check your facts during this New Moon as illusory Neptune is involved. We’re currently living in a world where fact, fiction & fantasy swap places at a fast rate of knots. Be careful not to mistake truth for lies or vice versa.
8 ways to make the most of the lively Gemini New Moon.
1. Be still during the exact time of the New Moon – see date/times above. It’s ideal for meditation, active gratitude and planning ahead.
2. Set your intentions for the coming fortnight on or shortly after the date/time of the New Moon. Write them down, say them out loud. This is the time to use the pro-active energy of the New Moon phase.
3. Make a wish when you first catch sight of the crescent moon. This will appear in the night sky a day or two after the New Moon date.
4. Pick up the phone, send an email, fire off a text during the crescent moon phase. This is an excellent time of the month to book an appointment, line up a meeting or interview or apply for a job or new role. Gemini’s nature is quick and lively. Use witty repartee to get yourself noticed.
5. Read a book, do puzzles, study something new, go back to school. Being curious is a Gemini trait. Research proves that using your mind and brain power keeps you youthful and engaged in life. Master a language, hone your skills, keep learning.
6. Gemini’s ruling planet, Mercury, is also in Gemini during the New Moon. Mercury is moving swiftly which favours the waxing phase of the Moon. Therefore, another reason to be spontaneous and speedy. Ideally, make your move before Mercury leaves Gemini on June 27th.
7. Mercury in Gemini teams up with Venus in Leo at the weekend – this is a social combination and a great time to enjoy yourself and have fun. Gemini rules siblings and neighbours, also your local community. Which people are foreground in your life and how can you use your connections to benefit one another?
8. Change your mind. Gemini is one of the mutable star signs, changeable and restless. Most Geminis have a flip side to their nature and don’t always say what they mean. You could use this New Moon phase to switch allegiance, change sides or play devil’s advocate. Gemini’s the trickster who keeps everyone on their toes.
