A new moon is a time of new beginnings. Here you will start to welcome new opportunities and set intentions for want you want. It is a time to refresh ambitions, reconnect with emotions, and set desires aflame with fresh objectives...in this process, we plant seeds of our will.
With this new moon in Gemini, we find our curiosity piqued and our need for connection enriched. The chatty Gemini moon will enliven bonding with friends – be they old or new. The New Moon in Gemini offers a breath of fresh air. New moons offer us the opportunity to start with a fresh focus on a specific set of devotions or intentions for the upcoming moon cycle. Dynamic Gemini Season is an excellent time to do just that. Air sign Gemini is symbolized by the twins, which in a greater context symbolizes two things being separated, purified, and coming back together again to create something that is bigger than the sum of its parts.
The energy of the Gemini New Moon is about finding balance between oppositional forces as well as seeking out duality from within. Gemini Season itself invites us deeper into our creativity, which this radiant, curious and frenetic new moon supports.
This is a fertile time for creativity, and this Gemini season encourages our visions to flourish. It is our right to have access to our artistic passions – whatever they be. Art is bigger than capitalism: it’s an offering to the universe and the soul – the macro and the micro.
This Gemini new moon guides us towards exploring what brings joy, transforms and expands on our creative energy. It ushers in new possibilities and hope. Mercury in Gemini encourages us to expand our minds and take ownership of our visions in order to make them a reality. We owe it to ourselves to expand on our truth and visions. The more time we devote and honor our commitments, the more we are able to work towards making them a reality. This requires us to believe in ourselves and honor the validity of our work.
It’s important to remember that in the gestation stage, it’s best to stay quiet and keep our dreams to ourselves and trustworthy friends. Gemini is yappy, and we should remember not to give too much of ourselves away when things are still percolating behind the scenes. It’s important to think before speaking and for us to focus on how we communicate, as well as hearing out what others have to say in return. It encourages our chatty, communicative side but also reminds us to work on our active listening skills.
The New Moon in Gemini is time for focusing on our adaptability, and being open to new possibilities that at first we wouldn’t consider, but could prove beneficial in the long term. This is a time for mutability and playfulness! This is also an ideal time to work intimately with our shadow sides as the path for communication rests on the air blowing through the Gemini night. Now is the perfect time to engage with the darkness while celebrating the light.
The Gemini New Moon honors our dichotomies! Make sure to honor yours.
Happy New Moon in Gemini to both your dark and light sides!
