Friday the 22nd we have a New Moon falling in Gemini. This New Moon marks the opening of the Eclipse Gateway. The first of three Eclipses occurs in 2 weeks during the Full Moon, but this sparks the opening of the energy which surrounds the Eclipse cycle and begins the powerful portal of transformation that occurs during the Eclipses.
This Gemini New Moon it is very important to pay attention to our energy as well as where we put our focus on during this New Moon and the pre-eclipse period, as what we focus on is supercharged and can manifest quickly during the eclipse cycle.
Gemini is asking us to look at where we have been pleasing people but not ourselves. This can be a call to move away from the need to please everyone else and put ourselves last. Have we been putting too much energy into making sure everyone else is ok around us during these challenging times and not checking in enough on ourselves?
We need to remind ourselves that in order to help and nurture our loved ones we need to nurture and replenish ourselves to be able to do that.
As we look towards peeping out from under the blankets and begin to step out into a changed way of life, some may be a longing for the way that things were before, we are being asked to look with open eyes & hearts from our deep truth as we move forward. This can mean changing things for the better and not holding on to old and outdated ideals.
We are being reminded not to replicate what was out of habit. We have an opportunity to create the new, this is not a time to replicate the past. We can all break free of old patterns in life and our relationships on all levels. Maybe we have been living a life in alignment with someone else’s truth or keeping our own voice hidden.
Whatever it is, we are being asked to step up and embrace our own truth. Now is the time to awaken the truth that has been living dormant in the core of our being as we move towards the dawning of a new time.
We are also being called to connect with the energy of life and joy. This can be a call to move towards relief, happiness and release as we embrace the satisfaction of truly living. The Gemini New Moon calls on us to do something for ourselves that opens us up to deeper bliss and joy.
There is a lot of energy surrounding the Gemini New Moon, high energy is coming in from the Pleiadean Portal, Venus, Mercury, Neptune, and Saturn. It can feel a little overwhelming at times, the best things for us to do is to turn inwards. Always the focus for New Moon energy. The New Moon is 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, of transformation and of unknowing. There is magic in the unknowing. There is magic in being that seed in the dark Earth 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, we may feel pulled in two directions. We may feel our heart wanting to go one way, and our mind wanting to go the other.
Or, we 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 always returns.
The Gemini twins also represent being connected to earth and connected to heaven. Being the bridge between these two states is what life is all about during the Gemini New Moon we are being reminded of this.
Planetary influences… Retrograde Saturn is active on this New Moon and provides some grounded energy. It supports us in setting goals and thinking about things in a more practical and methodical way.
Saturn asks us to use our powers of creation during the Gemini New Moon to make wise choices that will stand the test of time.
Saturn calls for us get real with what is happening in our lives. It wants us to think about the long term and put plans in place as best we can.
While Saturn adds some practicality and earthiness, we 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 duo’s connection is a beautiful match, but they both make alignments to Neptune and this is where the fog and clouds roll in.
Neptune is the planet of spirituality and dreams, but also illusions. Neptune can color our reality, allowing us to see new potentials but also, fogginess. There is some wispy illusionary energy floating about, so we need to be aware of that.
With Venus Retrograde and Neptune’s presence here, we 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 our heart and mind.
In order to roll with this energy, it is best to go within, to the place of our own inner knowing. Step back and feel into what’s happening if this occurs.
We have so much energy coming in right now and it is supporting us to dive in deep and to trust the process that is unfolding around us. Rather than getting lost indecision, we are asked to wait and trust that we will be guided to the right answers.
The right answers are always there, and with gentle patience, we will break free of the fog and find our way to where we need to be.
This is a powerful time for ritual work, for setting intentions, and for thinking about our long term plans. While we don’t have to map out our entire lives, these planets come together to help us figure out what we want and what we are willing to do to make it happen.
The journey is always moving, snaking forward and shifting. This is the time to trust our inner wisdom, and if we feel confused, retreat within, listed to our inner truth and allow ourselves permission to wait until the right answers float up and we are met with that strong sense of inner knowing.
