Energetically and emotionally, it is the time of the month when our thoughts and feelings are most in harmony . . and this month is also about working on FAMILY, NEIGHBORHOOD, and SOCIAL CONNECTIONS (Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to find out where this new moon will most likely affect YOU).

Think about what you want most and start working on it today.
The moon in Gemini brings fresh motivation, stimulation, and variation. This new energy is dynamic, exciting, and enlivening. No more stagnant, outdated thinking, this is a time for mental expansiveness and growth. Prioritize learning, teaching, and communicating more effectively now.
Gemini rules tact, acceptance, cleverness, and sociability: Remember you can be of greatest benefit to your community by demonstrating higher values while navigating problems and challenges that require attention. Think things through and discuss with others before taking impulsive action now. We are all interconnected and affect each other, so we also must learn to be dependable and accountable to one another.

It’s all about new Ideas, Love, Karma, and Healing
with some hazy CURVEBALLS thown into the mix!
The versatile GEMINI New Moon arrives with lots of energizing aspects, which set the tone now. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Chiron are all happily involved with the sun and moon during this period. Life is dreamy . . until Neptune and Mars also step in to instigate things a bit, provoke feelings and try to cloud our judgement!
Let me break it down for you:
Gemini is the sign of the TWINS
The intuitive Moon joins the consciously aware Sun in Gemini to set the collective agenda on communication and technology matters. Then, mental Mercury and lovely Venus pair up in Gemini, too, which heightens the intellectual energy. Expect inspired thinking and brilliant, beautiful ideas.
The Gemini Sun also harmoniously connects to karmic Saturn in radical and inventive Aquarius. This trine configuration in AIR signs means that your great ideas can actually be put into excellent tangible results now with discipline and commitment. Even more reason to WRITE DOWN any important thoughts that come to mind during this period!
Similarly, the Gemini Moon is in positive trine with disciplined Saturn. Thus, your best concepts may come through intuition and feelings as easily as through your conscious thinking these days. Either way, there is no shortage of ideas, just reach out to chat with allies and friends.
“Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Healing Chiron in Aries is enhanced by a favorable sextile arrangement with the Gemini Moon. Think: fast ideas and new approaches can bring fast and bold healing to light. This is an especially good time to heal any mental stress or imbalance.
The troublemakers to watch out for in this cycle are provocative square configurations. Intellectual Mercury square dreamy Neptune is most concerning and can cause haziness about what is REAL and TRUE. Be careful to avoid foggy and out-of-touch imaginings that fool you into mental confusion or deception from tricksters.
Gemini Moon and Mars in Pisces square up as well. This particular combination creates some emotional irritability. The upside is that tension and angst may bring any conflicts to the surface that need to be healed (just control any angry outbursts).
“Although we live in an information technology age, we often find ourselves in failure to communicate situations. “

**GEMINI ENERGY WARNING**
Beware of misapplied or overused GEMINI energy, which can become harmful or undermining. Gemini is of the powerful AIR element, which needs to be carefully and mindfully controlled in order to benefit, not overwhelm, scatter, or trick us.
While it can be beneficial to spend time gathering news, make sure to use your discretion and logic to guide you away from those who may want to manipulate and mislead. Also be sure to avoid the shadow side of Gemini, which may show up as nervous, anxious, or unstable. Instead, cultivate mindfulness, including being aware of credible authority and discerning the truth from any dubious talk or false gossip.
“The most important thing in communication is to hear what isn’t being said.”
Peter Drucker
INQUISITIVE GEMINI REMINDS US THAT LIFE IS ABOUT MOVEMENT & CREATIVE EXPRESSION
On a personal level, if you have been waiting for someone else’s permission to try a new hobby, learn a new skill, teach your gifts to the world, or simply pick of the pace in implementing your greatest ideas, do not waste another minute! Step forward, play, explore, study, speak, write, teach, analyze, and follow your heart’s desires now,
Because the sign of Gemini rules learning and increasing your awareness of all your options, this is an exceptional time for self development and finding mentors. Think about taking a new course or signing up for a workshop to enhance your skills along with your self confidence. This is also a great time to begin coaching sessions or have a personal consultation about your unique gifts, talents and strengths, or even your life purpose and direction.
“No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world.” Robin Williams
New Moon Intentions and Vision Boards for Gemini
The new moon is your best opportunity to plant new seeds for what you want to cultivate and attract in your life. Use the energy boost of the new moon! In honor of the sign of Gemini, do something active and new, and talk about it or write it down. Focus on your highest intentions, and make sure to use words and even images to illustrate what you most want to come into being now . .
The new moon is the ideal time to focus and set your purposeful intentions. Whether you write them in words or draw images of your ideas, using your own hand to put something down on paper can be quite powerful. Vision boards are another proven method for establishing what you want to come to fruition–just cut out images and assemble them in your personal collage.
Whatever method you use, try to craft your intentions as soon as you can right AFTER the new moon is exact. Ideally, you want to finish writing them within the first day or two. This year’s GEMINI NEW MOON is exact at 1:39pm Eastern Time and 10:39am Pacific Time on Friday, May 22, 2020.
How the Gemini New Moon Affects Each Sign
Each new moon has a different affect on each of us. Depending on your sun sign and rising sign, specific areas of your life can be activated. Look below for more ideas of what to focus on during this time:
ARIES: communications, siblings and local travel
TAURUS: wealth, values, assets and self-worth
GEMINI: body appearance, attitude & outlook
CANCER: subconscious, dreams, karma and secrets
LEO: friends, allies, groups, networks and BIG wishes
VIRGO: career, public image, honor and social status
LIBRA: wisdom, education, belief, travel, sport & luck
SCORPIO: shared power and assets, credit or debt, sexuality
SAGITTARIUS: partners, business and legal matters
CAPRICORN: daily schedule, work, service, health and pets
AQUARIUS: creativity, romance, pleasure & leisure
PISCES: home, family, security and property matters
It takes two weeks for the moon to grow from new to full, then another 14 days to decrease back to the next new moon. So, the lunar cycle is a perfect 28 days. Waxing & waning cycles affect all water, including tides, and emotions.
“Growth is actually contagious, so if you want to reach your goals, you’ve got to get around people who are going in the same direction you want to be going, and you will catch the success.”
Dr. Henry Cloud
