It’s time to get ready for a versatile, quick, chatty and energetic new Moon in the sign of Gemini. Here’s what you need to know.

Introduction

New Moons are about new beginnings, and right now we get ready to set our intentions for the next four weeks in the theme of Gemini. The Gemini New Moon invites you to explore your thoughts and consider how you express yourself and, who knows, perhaps it will bring with it a newfound clarity and creativity.

In this blog, I will share with you the significance of the New Moon in the sign of Gemini. Together we will explore the energies it brings, and I will guide you on how to tune into its power for personal growth and self-development.

The below image is from my journal last week. (I use a ReMarkable tablet). This entry feels connected to the upcoming Gemini energy. Gemini is such a busy sign and it’s really easy to get caught up in lots of activities and too much conversation. Some people find this energy extremely overwhelming, but even so, it can be the perfect time to notice just how ‘busy’ you are and the purpose or goal behind your busy tasks.

Theme of the New Moon: Quick and Bright Communication

Astrological Insights for this New Moon in Gemini

The chart for this New Moon (below) shows the astrological sky at the exact date and time the New Moon in Gemini takes place.

Take a look at the Moon symbol near the top of the chart. You can see that the zodiac glyph is in the sign of Gemini. And it’s not the only one in that sign. Venus, the Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter are also in Gemini.

This concentration of planets in Gemini means we will feel the intensity of this New Moon in a big way making it an ideal time to really tune into those Gemini vibes.

Looking back at the chart, notice how the Moon, Sun, and Mercury are within the same degree. You can see this from the numbers near the planet symbols.

These planets are in conjunction with each other, meaning their energies are combined. The Sun, Moon, and Venus are personal planets, influencing the personal aspects of our lives during this new Moon event.

Also, if you take a look at the red line with a square symbol heading from the Moon, Sun, and Venus to Saturn, we can see a challenging aspect (communication) at play during this New Moon.

Saturn, the planet of restriction and limitation, highlights where there are obstacles in our lives and perhaps where there is a need for greater discipline.

This aspect can also heighten feelings of isolation and tension. These feeling already existed but may become more noticeable around this New Moon.

It’s important to remember that although Saturn can be challenging, it is also known as the Great Teacher, reminding us that lessons can always be learned and growth can always be achieved.

With all this Gemini energy, we have a uniquely powerful time for setting intentions related to intellectual pursuits, communication, and the exchange of ideas. Use it to embrace the mental agility and quick thinking that Gemini offers, and start new conversations and learning experiences that take you towards your big goals.

Journaling is a great tool for self-reflection. During this New Moon in Gemini, consider the following journaling prompt:

"What new ideas or projects am I excited about, and how can I communicate my thoughts and intentions clearly to bring them to life?"

Making the New Moon in Gemini Journey Personal

I have a lot of Gemini in my chart. By that, I mean that Gemini is a busy sign for me compared to the others. I have three planets hanging out in there: Mars, Venus, and Jupiter. This means that when I look at the influence of this New Moon in my chart, it has a lot of layers to consider.

Gemini is the chatty, social, quick-thinking sign of the zodiac, and I often struggle to connect with it as I consider myself quite shy and not particularly social. However, my brain is always on, full of ideas, thoughts, and questions. For me, Gemini shows up in my curious mind and fast-paced brain.

Knowing this helps me to explore this New Moon from my perspective. It allows me to understand how the Gemini energy influences my thoughts and actions. Even though I might not be the most socially active person, I can embrace Gemini's energy by focusing on my intellectual pursuits and finding ways to communicate my thoughts and ideas.

For me, this New Moon is a perfect opportunity to set intentions that align with my strengths. I can use this time to develop new ideas, plan exciting projects, and find creative ways to express myself. By tuning into the Gemini vibes, I can make the most of this New Moon's energy and continue to grow and evolve.
