New Moon in Gemini
Prepare to be swept away by the mutable dance of the New Moon in Gemini on the 17th/18th June 2023.
As with any new moon, this cosmic event invites us to embrace new beginnings and embark on new journeys filled with purpose and growth. This New Moon certainly can inspire us to explore new realms that pique our curiosity, particularly occurring in the ever curious air sign of Gemini.
At the time of this moon, we are also working with a particularly tense aspect in the sky which may be causing some friction in the form of confusion. The sun and moon will be making a square aspect to Neptune and this indicates that while we may have all the enthusiasm, excitement and interest to set sail in a new direction (which perhaps has been mentally brewing for quite some time now!) there is a looming cloud of uncertainty, insecurity and potentially some imposter syndrome that seems to be creeping in and causing us to slow down and get a little lost in a funk.
While Neptune may try to disillusion your progress, the ruler of this new moon; Mercury is placed well in its home sign, Gemini and there is ample support from Venus, Jupiter and Saturn to think your way out of the worries and bring greater focus to your long term goals.
This is also a significant new moon as it is our first lunation in the sign of Gemini after we had a long transit of Mars moving through the air sign late 2022 into early 2023. If there was something which had been in the works since then or if you were undergoing a process of learning, curiosity or mental struggle related to an area of life around that time, this New Moon can inspire you to finally make progress in that space!
