When Gemini meets the new Moon, excitement is in the air. Gemini inspires us to try new things, see new people, and experience the world through a different lens. Gemini is one of the most social signs of the zodiac, and the new Moon in Gemini is a time to gather with others, share ideas, and connect vibrations with those around us.
It’s also a time to set intentions from a different perspective. We often turn to the same intentions each month, limiting our potential and imagination. The new Moon in Gemini is a time to break the mold of what we’ve done in the past.
When is the New Moon in Gemini?
The new Moon in Gemini takes place on June 6, 2024.
What Does the New Moon in Gemini Mean for You?
After the grounding vibrations of Taurus season, Gemini season comes in to stir our curiosity and need for adventure. It’s a time to unravel, unfold, and become inspired by life again. It’s a journey of learning, testing, and questioning. It’s a time to survey our life ask what needs to be adjusted, and then decide if those adjustments need to first take place in our minds.
Gemini is often thought of as the sign of communication. While this is true, Gemini’s energy goes much deeper than that. How we communicate is only the surface level of this sign. Gemini provides a window into our thought processes, beliefs, expectations, and overall mindset. It helps us understand why we see things a certain way and how to shift that perspective to change our reality.
Ruled by the air element and the planet Mercury, Gemini’s energy moves quickly. It’s possible to create any change imaginable during this time. The key is to connect with your body and breath to stay rooted in the present moment while adjusting your perspective to encompass a wider view. Notice where you feel stuck or stagnant. Become aware of the challenges or adversities being presented to you.
The new Moon in Gemini brings us much active energy in the mental realm. You may feel that your mind is wandering in many directions or that your body feels restless and impatient. Before setting any intentions or practicing your new Moon rituals, be sure to ground yourself and your energy. Align with breathing practices or do yoga to center yourself and your mind.
Also, notice if you feel nervous or anxious on this new Moon. These feelings can be a side effect of Gemini’s energy. Acknowledge them, but do not let them rule you today or any day. Focus on your breath and use it to quell the many thoughts of your mind.
As for your feelings, they go in two directions on this new Moon. Gemini likes to rationalize. This energy can make us think, and in that thinking, we avoid feeling. Gemini can trick us into using our minds to avoid our emotions. It can also overly emphasize logical answers in our lives, highlighting them on this day and distracting us from our intuition.
Conversely, Gemini’s energy can make us feel too much and become overwhelmed with emotions. We may not know which feelings are valid and which are simply stirred about by Gemini’s heavy vibration. Feeling too much can lead to the desire to numb out these sensations.
Both of these avenues compel us to distract ourselves from our feelings with tricks, illusions, and social engagements. Be aware if you fall into either of these extreme sides of Gemini and make an effort to bring yourself back to the center, where you can feel your emotions and intuition without becoming overwhelmed or needing to distract yourself.
This season is an opportunity to reframe our lives. It’s a chance to become aware of how our expectations and beliefs affect our ability to manifest our visions. It’s also a time to find silver linings and unexpected results from life’s many challenges.
Other Astrological Influences on the New Moon in Gemini
This new Moon falls conjunct, or next to, Venus in Gemini. Venus is the planet of love and beauty. Its influence on the new Moon in Gemini allows us to communicate with our hearts on a deeper level. As you work with this energy, survey your life. Ask yourself is your heart is happy? Do you have enough in your life that brings you happiness and reminds you that love is the highest vibration of all?
The new Moon in Gemini is an opportunity to express your love to yourself and others. Gemini is the sign of communication, after all, so communicate with your heart on this day. Ask it what it wants. Ask it about the life it wants to experience. Let your heart lead your intentions. Then express your heart to others.
The Sun, Moon, and Venus all square Saturn in Pisces this new Moon. Squares can bring up some friction because the energy challenges us. Saturn is the planet of commitments.
As the energy of this new Moon in June 2024 confronts Saturn, let it bring up questions about your commitments. Are you committing your energy towards your highest visions? Are there commitments that are distracting you from your heart or your highest self? Let this new Moon in Gemini help you discover which commitments may no longer be serving you. Sometimes you need to break away from responsibility to make space for what you need. Also, things you once said yes to may no longer be a resounding yes. Give yourself permission to change and grow. With evolution, your commitment may need to shift so you can remain committed to your future instead of your past.
Your Invitation
It’s important to acknowledge your feelings on any new Moon. After all, the Moon is synonymous with everything traditionally considered to be feminine, including your emotions, intuition, and receptivity. When you feel, you open to your inner knowing. From that place, you can understand what you truly want in life and set intentions that are aligned with your intuition.
Any new Moon practice, though, starts with the willingness to feel and connect with your internal world. Learn about yourself on the new Moon in June 2024 and what you truly want to manifest. Learn about your latent desires and allow this knowledge to shape how you set your intentions. Ask yourself challenging questions about your future and resist the urge to overthink the answers.
Gemini helps you both speak and write your dreams into reality, making the new Moon a powerful day for setting intentions. It’s a time to listen to yourself and let your intuition guide you. It’s also a time to feel your power to create your life. Let yourself be inspired by your potential today. Notice where you limit yourself and break through those limitations by first acknowledging their existence, then writing intentions that shatter them.
Take a few slow breaths to ground yourself before answering any journal prompts. Sit with each question for a moment and allow the answer to naturally arise while being open to the person you are becoming. As you write, know that you are opening the door to your intuition and giving permission to your highest visions to be seen and actualized.
Let your soul speak without questioning it from a place of logic. If you receive an intuitive hit, follow it. If you have a dream, feel it without worrying about manifesting it. Focus on feeling, being, and receiving rather than doing or analyzing. This focus will help you ground your energy and feel less overwhelmed by Gemini’s vibration.
Also, notice what changes or shifts are asking for attention. Then look at how you are thinking about all of it. Become keenly aware of your mindsets during this season. Ask yourself how you are perceiving your reality and if you need to shift that perception. You can’t change what is happening around you, but you can change how you perceive and respond to it.
