The past brought into focus

the future resists a change

Fear not the crossroads that lie ahead

or the path that may feel strange

Integrate the wisdom

Synthesize your song

Look within to find your faith

You’ve held the answer all along

A New Moon Reflection

This Gemini New Moon is a spark—an ignition of insight, curiosity, and new belief systems rising from the ruins of old frameworks. With the Moon, Sun, and Mercury clustered in Gemini, and Jupiter at the end of its Gemini journey, we’re flooded with information that could shift everything.

Saturn, newly arrived at 0° Aries, reminds us that new systems are just beginning to root. This is a seed moon—what we imagine now will become the bones of the structures we build over the next chapter.

So what dream are you daring to entertain?

If the old rules no longer apply,

what belief,

what perspective,

what voice do you want to trust instead?

We’re also in a deep dialogue with Pluto in Aquarius, Venus meeting Chiron and Eris, and the invisible parts of ourselves asking for integration. This lunation invites a radical reframing: where do we project judgment, envy, or resistance onto others because we haven’t claimed what we secretly want?

Gemini’s gift is duality—so try flipping the script. What if that villain is really a mirror? What if the chaos is the invitation? This New Moon doesn’t just plant a seed; it plants a question: What if you let yourself want the thing you’re scared to name?

Key Takeaways for the New Moon in Gemini:

The New Moon, conjunct its ruler Mercury, invites more profound knowledge
The Venus conjunction with Chiron/Eris Trine Mars invites integration of past wounds with deeper awareness
Mercury is the Ruler of this New Moon as well as the ruler of Jupiter closing it’s time in Gemini. Where could embracing the archetype of “messenger” or “trickster” aid you?

Mother’s Mirror:

Recently, I found myself sitting with the uncomfortable edge of judgment—disguised, as it so often is, as something else entirely. I was listening to a talk by Roxie Nafousi at the Mindvalley Manifestation Summit when she posed the question:

“Where are you feeling jealous?”

At first, I wanted to resist. I don’t consider myself a jealous person—I’ve seen how that energy corrodes relationships, especially in motherhood and friendship. But then she said something that cracked me open: jealousy often wears the mask of judgment. That comment you make about someone’s lifestyle, their outfit, their confidence—that could be a clue to a deeper desire. As a mother, it hit me: how often do I scroll past “perfect” moms on social media and think, Well, they must have endless help, or they probably don’t actually spend time with their kids.

But beneath that critique? A hidden longing for more travel, more rest, more magic in the everyday.

That realization didn’t make me ashamed—it made me curious. What small shifts could I make to invite more of what I secretly want? A richer, more whimsical life with my kids, more energy, more presence, more peace.

And here’s where Saturn’s entry into Aries hit home: Saturn teaches us about delayed gratification—about building toward something slowly and sustainably. So instead of spending money for a moment of relief, maybe the real need is rest, or space, or silence. Maybe the reward isn’t the coffee or the scroll, but the future I’m shaping with every tiny decision.

This Gemini New Moon lit up the insight I received from the recent Mercury-Uranus conjunction: the real magic isn’t resisting desire—it’s listening to it, reframing it, and turning it into the seed of something true.

- If you’ve recently dealt with a confrontation, with yourself or someone else, how must the structures of your life be re-envisioned to integrate the knowledge you’ve received?

- The greatest treasures lie within investigating the self. Examine your judgements, your jealousies, your doubts, your fears. Where is there a hidden truth about what you desire? How could you “flip the script” and use that knowledge to improve your circumstances and your belief system?
