New Moon in Gemini: Communicating with Yourself and Others

Hi friend!

On Sunday June 18, 2023 we enter into a new moon in Gemini. This twin sign is ruled by Mercury so expect themes of communication, intellect and travel to become more apparent in your life. Gemini is a very social sign so be prepared to chat it up with your friends and be ready for any unexpected (but fun) adventures to come your way.

A new moon happens when the moon is directly in line with the sun making the moon nearly invisible from our point of view on earth. A new moon is the first phase of a lunar cycle and it evokes a fresh new beginning. During this phase, you should plan ahead, set your intentions and begin manifesting your dreams. Taking the time now to define your goals will help set yourself up for achievement.

Influenced by Gemini, this lunar cycle will be all about communication. Start to analyze how you communicate both with yourself and with others. This is the perfect lunar cycle to set goals around how you give and receive information. As this is the sign of the twins, you will be thinking about communication in many different ways. Consider how you listen to others. Are you processing information before you respond? Are you articulating your thoughts or mumbling gibberish? Does the tone of your message reflect your emotions? Communicating your emotions should feel natural and if it doesn’t, that could be a sign that you need to check in with your true feelings. 

It is important to also consider these things when you are speaking to yourself as well. In this digital age we currently live in, we often tend to compare ourselves to others and then speak to ourselves with a harsh and negative tone. If this is the case for you, think about how you talk to yourself vs. how you talk to a friend or family member. Are you treating yourself the same as you treat others? Are you listening to what your mind and body are telling you? Listening to yourself will only help strengthen your gut instincts and intuition, which will give you the confidence to make decisions in the future.

Another positive Gemini trait that will come to light during this lunar cycle is the ability to be open-minded and see both sides of a situation. We all have differences, however, your mind will feel more flexible to see a situation from someone else’s perspective. So rather than just focusing on the differences that divide us, focus on finding a common ground where you can meet. When you focus on your similarities, you strengthen your bonds with each other. 

On the fun side, this new moon will be all about socializing. You will have an urge to bond with your inner circle and expand your social connections. Get your party on and spend time smiling, laughing, and meeting new people.
