New Moon in Gemini: New Chapter of the Old Story
This New Moon is happening at 9 degrees of the mutable air sign of Gemini on May 30.
Gemini is all about communication, curiosity and never-ending drive to discover new things. It rules the mind, how we gather and process information.
It’s a great tradition to set new intentions and make plans for the month ahead on a given New Moon. However, this lunation is a different story.
Its ruler Mercury is in retrograde till June 3 which suggests that it’s best not to focus on starting brand new projects right now but rather discover a fresh, new approach to the ones you couldn’t finish in the past for whatever reason.
Is there any task or a project that you never had the time to accomplish but wish you could still do it anyway? If so, now this New Moon is the perfect opportunity to give it a second chance.
The Cosmic Weather Report
Mars, the God of War, is conjunct with Jupiter at 3 degrees of Aries at the time of this New Moon. This powerful conjunction is forming a helpful sextile to this lunation (I personally use 10 degrees orb for the planetary aspects).
This New Moon is exactly conjunct with the fixed star Aldebaran at 9 degrees of Gemini in the right eye of the bull in the constellation of Taurus.
Aldebaran is often associated with Mars-like qualities. It is the watcher of the East and is associated with the military god Mithras in Persian mythology.
The ruler of this New Moon, Mercury is right on the notorious fixed star Algol.
This long feared fixed star is believed to be activated at times of great calamities and disasters.
Algol was conjunct with the North Node of Destiny at the start of certain events in Eastern Europe at the end of February this year.
All of these celestial alignments are activating the warlike energy. To put it simply, the atmosphere is heavy.
Luckily Mercury is trining Pluto, which is in retrograde in Capricorn, and sextiling Neptune in Pisces. This energy is excellent for healing any past traumas connected with the ability to communicate and express our feelings authentically.
Mercury is also squaring off with Saturn in Aquarius which indicates the need to strengthen personal boundaries when dealing with others.
Make sure to avoid any conflict with authority figures at this time. It can do a lot of damage.
The unwanted consequences may be long lasting.
Usually New Moons in Gemini are super lighthearted and playful. However, this time around is a different story.
It doesn’t mean it’s all doom and gloom.
It’s just a reminder that we are going through the unavoidable process of the Great Reset as a collective. And Astrology is here to help us adjust to these irrevocable changes in the most conscious, mindful way possible.
Before we dive in, be sure to check your Ascendant, Moon and Sun signs to get a full picture. When you read a horoscope for your Sun sign only, you only get a glimpse of what’s in store for your personal and professional life.
Your Sun sign (related to the day you were born) might be an important component of your identity, but it’s only a small fraction of the whole story.
Very often, your Ascendant (or Rising sign) is the most accurate representation of you as an individual, as it rules your first house of the self and therefore has the biggest impact on your personal horoscope.
