NEW MOON IN GEMINI

Ruled by Mercury, the fastest moving planet in our solar system, Gemini is best known for its quick wit and sharp intellect. Four planets occupy this air sign during the May 22nd New Moon, but this is no ordinary expression of Gemini — oh no. Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter and Venus are all in retrograde, and they have profound teachings to share with us.

Retrograde planets invite us to slow down, re-trace our steps, and reflect on our realities. This invitation is especially potent right now, as the New Moon asks us to plant seeds for the future; but not just any seeds. Once a month, this lunar phase gifts us with an opportunity to infuse our future plans with magic, careful intention and divine guidance.

The number 2 is a guiding force during this time. Our New Moon occurs on the 22nd of May with the sun and moon at 2 degrees of Gemini, and Venus, Mercury and Neptune will be at 20 degrees. In numerology, ‘2’ represents the divine feminine, an energy of surrender, receiving and intuition.

Since Gemini is linked to Hermes, the messenger of the Gods, it possesses the ability to deliver information. However, Number 2 invites us to embrace Gemini’s feminine expression by giving us permission to relax into a space of receiving messages. Venus, the planet of love, value and worth, is particularly asking us to attain insight around how we perceive ourselves and show up in relationships.

This is an opportunity to take a look at the language we use towards ourselves and others. Do you sit in the stillness and face your mind? Do your thoughts support ideas of love or fear? How does this show up in your personal life? We are reminded that our external realities are direct reflections of what’s happening internally, and we must put time into giving ourselves the message that we are valuable, worthy and loveable. The alternative will inevitably show up in our external realities — and most times, it ain’t pretty.

This is a gentle nudge to pay attention to the subtle messages we deliver on a daily basis, perhaps without even realizing it. Gemini, the master of communication, reminds us that language takes many forms. Messages can be expressed through the tone of our voice, body movements, facial expressions, etc. This is a great time to go inward and assess if the way in which we communicate feels loving to ourselves and the people around us…
