Gemini New Moon
As we embrace the Gemini energy we feel ourselves filled with hope and the sense that anything is possible and we are able to create our realities that we dream of.

Dear beautiful reader,
On June 6, 2024.at 13:37 BST we have our New Moon in Gemini a nice airy and upbeat energy from the grounding and earthly Taurus.
A New Moon happens once a month and can be used as a comic gift, a reset if you will, aiding you to check in with yourself. Checking in with any intentions you would like to grow in relation to your goals and dreams, or perhaps any new habits you would like to develop this is the time to honour these callings as she moves towards her fullness so do the seeds you wish to grow.
As we are human beings and created with 70% water, it is only normal for us to feel the effects of the Moon closely, just like the tides. We are all so unique and different that a Moon cycle will affect us differently along with our cycles. As the New Moon is the dark side of the Moon, it is common to feel a little more introspective, wanting to retreat, be at home in your comfies, and watch TV or perhaps read and meditate. But once the New Moon grows into her full brightness so does our energy and feelings and wanting to be more out in the public space. So allowing yourself the time and honour needs is perfectly okay, often this is frowned upon in a fast-paced life but connecting back to our natural rhythms is so important.
In ancient times, the Moon was observed to change over a 28 -29 day period that coincided with a woman's reproductive cycle. The ancients observed how the moon affected the tides and by tracking it alongside the sun, they developed calendars to predict agricultural rhythms. The Sun was the life-giving force, but the Moon played an important role in predicting rainfall. In this way, the moon inspired culture for the ancients, when hunter and gatherers established civilisations centred on planting and harvesting.
By connecting back to our ancient ways of being and living closer to the rhythms of nature we can connect better to ourselves.
In astrology, the Moon is associated with the subconscious and our instinctive, unconscious behaviour. Its cycles can be used to blend both the tangible and intangible. Working with lunar cycles allows us to intentionally engage our feeling nature, and how it unconsciously helps us with the law of attraction. Just like dreams, what cannot be accomplished during the day can be given over to our larger bodies while we sleep and rest in the evenings.
What does the Gemini New Moon mean for me?
Ruled by the air element and the planet Mercury, Gemini’s energy moves quickly and forward with creativity sparking everywhere. As we embrace the Gemini energy we feel ourselves filled with hope and the sense that anything is possible and we are able to create our realities that we dream of.
With the Moon representing out inner worlds this energy feels very expressive and getting in touch with our inner creativity and how we can work with this energy with our hands. Think of Mercury as the metal wanting to be moulded and built, reconstructed to create a new object or perhaps way of being.
We also have a beautiful soft energy and a sense of love as the Sun is conjunction with Venus! Remember Venus represents love, creativity, relationships, and the finer things in life. With Venus conjunction we have this time to express ourselves creatively, connecting with our friends and families, putting what we value at the forefront. Enjoy this time to socialise and connecting to the Venus archetype – perhaps even changing up your look!
Also playing heavily in the sky is the Jupiter trines Pluto (1st – 6th June) which is creating a sense of wanting to expand your life what is more aligned to the person you are now and becoming. This is a transformative transit. Pluto’s ability to see deeply into what is hidden and transform work well with Jupiterian optimism and ability to see the big picture. This transit could also coincide with some professional success, coming to your own power!
Like I have mentioned the energy feels light and with endless possibilities!
As Gemini is a an air sign, with a million things floating around their minds an endless supply of tabs open with ideas and over thinking. To remain grounded and connect to what you wish to grow over the coming weeks and months you may find that breathwork may help with this.
Breathe work is connected to the element of air as it helps to regulate the nervous system, lungs, and respiratory system. Gemini can be a little removed from their heart space as they are constantly up in their heads and thinking. During this New Moon we are being called to get out of heads and into our bodies connecting to our heart space. The use of breathwork and even movement to feel the body, moving the energy around can help us understand what we truly are seeking and help to remove any blockages that maybe holding you back.
Grounding with breathwork and movement will also help you to connect to the Sun and Venus conjunction as you will be connecting to this heart space and working on opening it up to receive and build those connections that are coming through. New and old, deepening these bonds.
This New Moon the key will be striking a balance between your mind and heart. Allowing both of them to connect so you can make the decisions that are best for you and the wisdom that is residing within you. With a clearer head and softer heart space and body you will be able to grow seeds that are aligned for you on a deeper level, understanding the importance of the mind and heart space.
When we are open to receiving and an open heart we have endless opportunities and able to see all the beautiful things that around you.
To honour the New Moon here are a few ideas:
· Sit in meditation and connect to, Selena the Goddess of the Moon, and give gratitude for all the wisdom she provides, the life she gives, and how her cycles help us to grow and co-create our dreams and goals.
· Journaling whatever comes up for you in a nice quiet space
· Writing a list of gratitude
· Make a note of the dreams you are having as they may provide some insights for you
· Planting intentions of what you wish to bring in over the coming weeks and months
· A nice soothing bath to relax the body
· Breathwork and movement to get out of the mind and into the heart space
· Charge your crystals up at night on a window sill outside, or in the Earth
· Make some Moon water with an intention placed underneath for your own personal use
Whatever you choose to do to honour this New Moon, enjoy it and sending much love and New Moon blessings to you,
