Arriving on June 17-18th, 2023, the Gemini New Moon marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle.

The New Moon is always our chance to start over, a blank-slate point during the month where we can take a breath, and think about what intentions we want to set for the coming weeks. 

Often, in the days leading up to a New Moon, you may find yourself being shown the areas of your life where things don’t work very well anymore,

or perhaps you feel excited about a new project and are filled with motivation to get going on it. 

Think of the New Moon as a powerful time to transmit your highest vibrational energies out to the Universe, calling in everything you desire to come back to you. 

Gemini is an air sign associated with quick thinking, communication, curiosity, adaptability, and intellect. 

Those qualities mean this Moon cycle is a great time to reflect upon your communication style and social skills. 

Connection and expression are the essence of good communication.

If you want to nurture your closest relationships, all this Gemini energy will help you to strengthen those bonds. 

Ask yourself how much of an active listener you are.

Do you tend to jump into conversations and interrupt people too much?

Do you make an effort to communicate in a friendly and diplomatic way?

Are your conversations authentic, heartfelt, and compassionate? 

How about your own self-expression?

Do you feel like you are able to say what you mean when issues are important to you? Are you speaking up for what you feel is true? 

This Gemini New Moon creates a favorable atmosphere for making any adjustments or changes to the way you conduct yourself in all kinds of communication. 

Be extra mindful of your words, for they hold the power to shape your relationships and your world. 

Mental stimulation and intellectual pursuits are also part of these New Moon themes. 

You may find yourself drawn to learning something new and feel inspired to read different books, begin a course in something that sparks your imagination and quenches your thirst for knowledge, or simply feel more alive and engaged mentally. 

Use this time wisely and follow your intuition and whatever it guides you towards.

Gemini energies are perfect for diving into personal growth and mindset work, you’ll feel motivated and capable of taking in new information and using it to your advantage. 

Books, conversations, podcasts, and all of these methods of learning and exploring new ideas will be part of your mental expansion during this time.

Embrace whatever comes your way and see it as guidance from the Universe to remain open and eager to learn. 

Gemini is also a mutable sign showing us the power of flexibility and ease.

Remind yourself that while spiritual and emotional growth can be painful, the ability to move through challenges with grace is essential.

Embrace versatility and do not be afraid to let go of old and outdated beliefs as you move forward into new territory in your life. 

The New Moon always has fresh energy for you to harness and take advantage of, if you are willing. 

This particular New Moon in Gemini presents a chance to embody the energies of the sign of the celestial twins in our own lives. 

The twins symbolize a union of opposites – the duality present in all our lives.

They represent the need to find a balance between the mind and the soul – the ego and higher consciousness.

All of us need to find equilibrium between those two sides of ourselves to live in harmony in this life experience. 

Remember to seek that harmony  – integrating mind and heart, logic and intuition. 

Find ways to honor both sides of yourself by taking part in activities that nourish your brain and your soul and bring balance to the messages they both share. 

If you are stimulating your brain with books and new ideas, remember to nurture yourself with calming rituals that soothe your spirit, such as mindful meditation, free-writing, painting, or taking a relaxing bath. 

Of course, the biggest part of any New Moon is always intention-setting. 

Align your frequency with the energy of the New Moon and create clear, heartfelt intentions that speak to your biggest desires. 

Remember to always set your intentions in the present tense and visualize yourself already living and embodying those dreams. The power of manifestation lies in your strong belief that anything is possible for you. 

This Gemini New Moon brings so much opportunity for productive new beginnings if you are ready to embrace the belief that the Universe fully supports your evolution and is here to reflect back to you all that you dream of. 

Trust that the seeds you plant now will soon blossom and bear fruit. 

May you experience transformative growth and abundance as you tap into the energy of the New Moon in Gemini.
