New Moon in Gemini
May 26, 2025 – 8:02 PM PDT | 6° Gemini
Theme: “The Power of a New Voice”
As the Sun and Moon meet in quicksilver Gemini, we are invited into a new cycle of thought, dialogue, and perception. Gemini rules over language, learning, and connection. This lunation opens a channel for new conversations—with others, with Spirit, and with ourselves.
Cosmic Context
This New Moon is conjunct Mercury (Gemini’s ruling planet) at 2°, amplifying its message. Mercury is direct and strong in its home sign, enhancing clarity, curiosity, and multidimensional thinking. We’re entering a portal where words cast spells, ideas manifest reality, and intention becomes information.
But there’s a twist: Saturn has just entered Aries on May 24, marking a collective initiation. Saturn in Aries brings serious energy to how we begin. It’s a grounding force pushing us to commit to a fresh mindset—not just play with ideas, but structure them. Under this New Moon, it’s not enough to dream up new concepts; we’re being asked to shape them into something real.
New Structures, New Story-lines
Gemini wants movement; Saturn in Aries insists we mean business. Are we learning just to skim the surface? Or are we preparing to teach, speak, and write from embodied truth? With Saturn now beginning its journey through the first sign of the zodiac, there’s a call to mastery over the self—especially how we initiate action through communication.
Energetic Signature
– Air meets Fire: Ideas must move, but now with purpose and courage.
– Mutable meets Cardinal: Adaptability must lead to bold beginnings.
– Mercury’s presence near the lunation: Time to say what you’ve been holding back. Reclaim your voice.
Best Practice…. Be Sure to take a few minutes to do your New Moon Ceremony, set your intentions, journal, and work to stay calm and present!!!
This New Moon reminds us of our need for connection, community, and our ability to manage multiple events, projects, and situations which the Gemini Twins do brilliantly!!
– Begin a writing project, podcast, or course
– Learn a new language or spiritual practice
– Set intentions for clearer communication in relationships
– Create affirmations or mantras for mental clarity and courage
– Commit to expressing your truth—even if your voice shakes
Contemplate and journal…..
– Where am I ready to speak up or write something new?
– What story or belief about myself needs to be re-written?
– How can I blend flexibility with focus?
In ancient Hermetic philosophy, Gemini was seen as the “Messenger of the Gods”—the bridge between worlds. This New Moon acts as a divine download point. If you listen in stillness, you may receive messages not just from your logical mind, but from your soul’s higher knowing. Be open to signs, synchronicities, and whispers from beyond.
This is the perfect time to Re-Set our Thinking and Speaking! Thoughts become things….so it is vitally important how we speak, what we say, and how we think! Is our glass half empty or half full? It makes a difference how you speak it! If we take this next 4 week cycle, beginning now, speaking and thinking positive empowering thoughts with love, compassion, abundance with intention….just imagine and how wonderful we will be feeling!
I invite you to take the challenge!!! When the old negative thoughts creep in….which they will….just delete immediately and speak your new thought!!!
A few more details….
- Your mind is especially active now and you will experience an abundance of ideas and thoughts! With all this activity, it’s an opportunity to become more aware of how you think, take in and utilize information, and how your thoughts, attitudes and words shape your experiences and responses to life! Remember, you are creating a New Story!!!
- Amazing clarity can come when you least expect it!
- Best Practice: take time for meditation or journaling to gain clarity as you slow your thought process down a bit! Activate HONEST communication from a neutral place, particularly in all your relationships!
