New Moon in Gemini

This New Moon sits at 6° in Gemini, with the Sun and Moon merging in the archetype that speaks to communication, curiosity, and mental exploration. Gemini teaches through duality, conversations, networking, and connection. It’s light, playful, intelligent, and always seeking to connect the dots. We are collectively being invited to set intentions that open space for learning, for speaking from the heart, and for reconnecting with the childlike wonder within that still believes in the magic of asking questions.

With Mercury, ruler of this new moon also in Gemini, our minds are on tap and switched on. Ideas, insights, and conversations are a theme this New Moon. What comes through now is being seeded. You don’t need to know the whole story yet. There is no need for a fixed plan… just curiosity, willingness, and trust in the playful exploration. The challenge will be to quiet the 10,000 open tabs long enough to notice which idea truly lights you up. Choose one. Trust it. Follow it.

This New Moon is also supported by a sextile to Saturn and Neptune in Aries. Neptune in Aries helps dissolve the fear and illusion that hold us back from taking bold steps, while Saturn offers structure, responsibility, and integrity, reminding us that our words matter as does our commitment to ourselves.

Pluto in Aquarius forms a supportive trine to this new moon. There is a pull toward emotional honesty, to strip away what no longer feels authentic. In Aquarius, that emotional clarity isn’t just for ego it’s for the rising of the collective. We are speaking and sharing not only for ourselves, but for the purpose of our Earth. This energy calls us to challenge our thoughts that no longer reflect who we are becoming. It invites us to use our voices, knowing that when we do, transformation comes naturally. What you say now can ripple beyond the self and outwards, onto others. You may find yourself drawn to share ideas that feel a little “out the gate,” vulnerable, or past their ''expiry date''. It’s part of the shift… and we really do need to look at things through a fresh new lens, Gemini is calling us to.

The sky is filled with a lot of air and fire energy / yang energy. The mind and body may feel overstimulated, full of momentum, some pressure but also deep passion + excitement. With no planets currently in water, and only Uranus in Taurus, there may be a calling to connect more deeply with the feminine, for balance.

Sitting with the feminine may look like feeling the sensations of thought, of deep listening, of intuition. Remembering the body holds wisdom. Sitting in silence or meditation. Nourishing self and allowing Source to speak through you. You are being guided to come home to your inner voice before sharing it outward.
