For the last few months, our cosmic skies have been bringing a lot of change, upheaval, and transformation, but now, things are gently softening with the arrival of the Gemini New Moon on May 26th.
The New Moon in Gemini
Gemini is represented by the twins, where one twin is mortal and the other is immortal. One twin is bound by the physical constraints and time restriction of a physical body, while the other is eternal and more deeply connected to spirit.
These two twins represent the two elements that live within all of us- the body and the soul. When the twins work in harmony, life can be good, but when the twins work against each other, that is when we can feel displaced, off-path, and disconnected from our purpose.
There are times when one twin will dominate a certain chapter of our life journey. Sometimes, one twin will have to rise up and take charge depending on our circumstances. But creating balance and honoring the two is what Gemini energy helps us to realize.
Under the Gemini New Moon, check in with this balance. Do you feel connected to your Spirit? Do you feel connected to your body? Do you feel at peace with both these states?
If there is a situation that is bothering you, ask yourself how you can bring more Spirit or more practical reality to the situation. Maybe there are things you can do on this earthly realm to take charge of the situation, or perhaps, the situation may be out of your control and you need to surrender and trust in Spirit. Play with these two dynamics and see how it can bring softening under the New Moon.
Gemini New Moon Magic
When looking to the skies under the 2025 Gemini New Moon, we see the little-known dwarf planet, Sedna, weaving her energies into our consciousness.
Sedna was only discovered back in 2003, so we are still getting familiar with her energies, but that is how it goes when we start anything new in life. It takes time to adjust, time to get our bearings, and time to make sense of it all.
Time is an important factor when we look at the inner workings of Sedna’s energy. Her story reveals to us the importance of timing. Sedna was kept under the thumbs of her father and husband, until the timing of a traumatic situation freed her, not only from the dominating masculine influences in her life, but also from herself.
In Sedna’s story, she didn’t know she needed to be freed until time revealed all to her. Sometimes, we have to wait for things behind the scenes to become known to us. Sometimes we have to wait till we reach a certain level of consciousness for us to see a deeper or higher truth.
Sedna’s presence under this New Moon celebrates a shift in consciousness to a higher level of truth and understanding, and through this, we are met with a new awareness and a new understanding.
Time reveals all, so be patient with your process under this May New Moon. Sometimes, there is nothing else we can do but give ourselves time and patience. We will figure it out. We will get where we need to. We just have to let time do its thing.
Gemini New Moon and Mercury
Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, is also active under this New Moon. Mercury loves to be in Gemini, so this is a fortunate energy when it comes to communication and self-expression. We may find it easier to get our thoughts out on paper or to others, or we may find it easier to even understand ourselves!
We may feel more in sync with the brain waves of others, or more open to the thoughts and ideas of those around us. Our mental energy can be sharp under this New Moon, so use it to your advantage! Clear the clutter of your mind and use it to its fullest potential.
Let go of anxious thinking and repetitive thoughts, and channel your mental energy into productive, gentle, and self-loving thoughts. Allow the New Moon to be your medicine for better mental health.
Using the Energies of the May New Moon
A softening is offered under this May New Moon in Gemini. We are asked to practice patience and to be gentle with ourselves as we move through a new chapter of awareness and growth.
We may find ourselves standing on the other side of a deep transformation, but there is no rush to launch ahead. We can take our time, and trust that all will be revealed in accordance with our highest good.
Some practical and magical ways to use this New Moon energy include:
- Journaling: with Mercury’s energy strong, we can journal to clear the mental clutter and receive divinely inspired wisdom.
- Patience: Sedna hovering close to the New Moon reminds us to be patient with our journey, there is more to be revealed.
- Letting go: New Moons represent new beginnings, but this New Moon is calling us to clear the past so we can fully step into the new energies.
- Acceptance: we may have emerged from a period of transformation. Life may look different, but this New Moon will soften any harsh edges, allowing us to bring more acceptance to where we stand.
- Balancing Spirit Vs. Ego: the Gemini twins can help us bring balance to our physical lives and our spiritual lives.
