The Gemini New Moon Fiesta

Finally, a Breath of Fresh Air.

Gemini, the sign that embodies curiosity, learning, communication, and a certain light-hearted playfulness, is throwing a party. Five out of the ten major planets/bodies are showing up to sparkle.

The theme of this celestial gathering begins with the New Moon at 16 degrees of Gemini. This event occurs at 5:37 am Pacific Time on Thursday, June 6th. Any New Moon emphasizes a fresh start potential. Gemini suggests an abundance of ideas—maybe even too many to choose from. It draws us to learn, listen, and observe, to synthesize the information we’re gathering, and then to share it with others. We aim to be knowledgeable, to have the facts, and maybe even some captivating stories to tell. We need to be mindful of becoming over-stimulated, scattered, or obsessed with superficial data, but there’s enough spiritual energy around to guide us to truth and meaning.

Venus is tightly conjoined with the New Moon, adding a lovely relationship, beauty, and artistry vibe to the mix. Mercury, the ruling planet of Gemini, is present too, ensuring we are wired to learn. Jupiter brings gravitas for dessert, having just joined the Gemini fiesta on April 20th for a year. Jupiter, the planetary body denoting the urge to understand the meaning of life, helps deepen our journey from information (Gemini) to truth (Sagittarius).

Pluto in Aquarius forms a flowing trine to this Gemini extravaganza, suggesting we will delve deep to find truth, explore shadow material, transform, and align ourselves with new developments in the coming years. Uranus, the Aquarian planet, is closely connected to the planets in Gemini, urging us to break free of stuck patterns, wake up, and evolve.

New Moon Themes:

  • Choose to be open-minded

  • Learn more— expand your ideas

  • Think outside the box

  • Be honest

  • Create a plan

  • Launch anything related to information—a book, an article, a website

  • Have fun while doing it

In Spirit animal mythology, birds are messengers. I’ve often noticed that people with strong Gemini influences in their natal chart encounter birds in surprising or unusual ways. When you see a bird, slow down and notice the intuitive message or thought entering your mind. Thank them for their support.

If you’re not an early riser, it’s good to do a New Moon ritual the night before the Moon's exact phase — that’s tonight if you’re reading this post as it is posted. Make an affirmation list, or even just one statement, of what you would like to create in life with this auspicious new start energy. Whatever you write, say it in the present tense. "I have…", "I am…", "The world is…"

The energies are strong these days. We are creating reality quickly with our positive thoughts—or our negative ones. It’s time to vanquish fearful thinking.

I’m putting my energy into aligning with all the radiant beings on the planet to create a new world. This Gemini energy asks us to connect globally, expand the possibilities, and rethink life. Everything seems to be crashing because it’s our job build something sustainable. Let’s open up the conversation and make it happen. This New Moon is our ally.
