The New Moon in Gemini brings a breath of fresh air to proceedings, and a moment to pause and reflect. Energies have been very intense with the powerful Sagittarius full moon and strong solar storms, and the solar flares are still coming on strong.
Two days ago Venus conjuncted the Sun and may have brought up deep underlying issues in relationships. With five planets in Gemini, we have information overload and many things are coming to light. Pay attention to communications, and make sure they are heart centred and based in love.
The new moon in Gemini is the beginning of a new lunar cycle, and provides an opportunity to clear away mental clutter, outdated thinking and limiting belief structures. Allow your mind to be refreshed and rejuvenated with new ideas. Many people in the Western world are too much “in the head” which creates a jumble of thoughts, over-emphasis on the intellect, and not enough emotional intelligence. On the new moon, we have a chance to meditate and let go of mental entanglements, seeing the world with fresh eyes.
The new moon is conjunct Venus, bringing sweetness, charm and diplomacy to communications. Venus is the esoteric ruler of Gemini, allowing us to tune into a higher vibration of mind. We are called to contemplate the duality of this sign, representing the higher and lower mind. The “dark twin” of Gemini is actually the lower nature, and the “light twin” is the soul or guiding presence.
Meditation reflection for the Gemini new moon: Who is the “I” behind my awareness? Am “I” my emotions? Am “I” my thoughts? What does my mind rest on?
Gemini energy is light and full of movement, bringing a restless feeling and the desire for movement and change. With the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all in this sign, there is a huge influx of thoughts and ideas, and many communications from all sides. It is easy to be distracted or overwhelmed. There is much sharing of information, and some of it may distract you from your purpose. Be mindful not to get side tracked or derailed.
On this day we are given the opportunity for a “reset”. Take a moment to clear your mind, ideally on or after the exact new moon.
Gemini energy calls for fun, light-hearted social activities; however, a square to Saturn means that pressing matters must be attended to. There are certain things that can’t be ignored, and it is important to take care of these. Saturn will be going retrograde at the end of the month, and the Great Taskmaster can be unforgiving if structures are not sound. This means taking care of your physical, financial and material life, and being mindful of how you use your time.
We are moving into a Mars Pluto square at the end of the week, so it is wise to use this new moon to reflect deeply on your actions and intentions, and any unaddressed shadow that may backfire on you. Energies could be tough, so make sure you are prepared for all eventualities and have the ability to navigate any issues that may arise.
Jupiter is also making an expansive trine to Pluto, which brings the energy of wisdom and abundance, and the ability to overcome all obstacles with the power of faith.
On this this new moon, allow yourself to take a break from mental chatter. Pause – rest – reflect. Organise your time so that you can prioritise and keep your focus where it is most needed. Much can be achieved with the new insights gained.
New Moon Blessings
