Aloha May New Moon!
The New Moon represents the start of new lunar cycle. It is a time to plant seeds, set intentions, and to think about what you wish to create. But it is also a time of turning inward.
Think of the New Moon like a seed that has been planted. The seed is programmed with a certain code but there is lies, buried in the dark soil, uncertain of what’s to come or what it will turn out to be.
The New Moon is really the Dark Moon, when the night sky is dark and there is no Moon visible in the sky.
This is a time of magic, of darkness – not the darkness that keeps you up at night, but the darkness of transformation, of unknowing.
There is magic in the unknowing. There is magic in being that seed that is waiting to sprout. It is how all creation begins and the New Moon is a time to honor and tune in to those creative powers.
As the New Moon falls in Gemini, the sign of the twins, you may feel pulled in two directions. You may feel your heart wanting to go one way, and your mind wanting to go the other.
Or, you may simply feel a sense of confusion, a sense of loss or even hopelessness. The dark night of the New Moon can seem endless, but the light will always return.
The Genini twins also represent being connected to Earth and connected to Heaven. Being the bridge between these two states is what life is all about and you may be reminded of this on the New Moon.
How do you live connected to the physical reality you see and the spirit reality you feel?
Retrograde Saturn is active on this New Moon too and provides some grounded energy. It supports you in setting goals and thinking about things in a more practical and methodical way.
Saturn wants you to use your powers of creation on this New Moon to make wise choices that will stand the test of time.
Saturn calls for you to get real with what is happening in your life. It wants you to think about the long term and put plans in place as best you can.
What steps and actions can you take on this New Moon that will support and nourish your future and where you wish to head?
While Saturn adds some practicality and earthiness, you also have strong water and air energy floating in from Mercury, Venus, and Neptune.
Mercury and Retrograde Venus will be at the exact same degree of the zodiac- 20 degrees of Gemini, at the time of this New Moon.
This cosmic duo teaming up are a beautiful match, but they both make alignments to Neptune and this is where the clouds roll in.
Neptune is the planet of spirituality and dreams, but also illusions. Neptune can color your reality, allowing you to see new potentials but also, fogginess.
With Venus Retrograde and Neptune’s presence here, you may feel a little confused about which way to turn. This energy may enhance that feeling of being pulled in two directions or create a feeling of disconnect between your heart and mind.
In order to navigate this energy, go within to the place of your own inner knowing.
There is so much energy in the cosmos right now supporting you to dive in deep and to trust the process that is unfolding around you.
Rather than getting lost indecision, you are asked to wait and trust that you will be guided to the right answers.
The right answers are always there, and with a gentle patience, you will break free of the fog and find your way to where you need to be.
The Gemini New Moon may make you feel that you have been buried in the darkness, but that only means you are on a journey of finding your way to a new light.
This is a powerful time for ritual work, for setting intentions, and for thinking about your long term plans.
While you don’t have to map out your entire life, these planets come together to help you figure out what you want and what you are willing to do to make it happen.
Trust your inner wisdom, and if you feel confused, retreat within. Give yourself permission to wait until the right answer floats up and you are met with knowing.
