The New Moon In Gemini occurs on May 26 at 8:02 PM PST and 11:02 PM EST.

This lunation offers an opportunity to think and assess how we want to move forward. Speaking one’s truth is important at this time, as it'll help us grow into the person we wish to be.

The New Moon is ushering in fresh hopes and possibilities, with Mercury in Gemini opening up our minds, Neptune in Aries allowing us to dream big, Pluto retrograde in Aquarius incentivizing us to make them happen, and Saturn in Aries cementing these ideas in reality, it’ll be easier than ever to push through and take control of her visions. The more energy we give them, the easier it is to make them happen. In reality, the caveat is that we must believe in ourselves, and although we want to discuss our sentiments with others, it's best to keep them quiet and to ourselves in our hearts or only to share with close friends. The reason being is that they might usurp our desires and take them for their own — especially if they're colleagues in the same industry and company fighting for the same position.

The day before the New Moon, Mercury enters Gemini, making communication seemingly easier. The caveat is that on the 26th, Saturn is restricting the flow of thoughts, Neptune is making our sentiments confusing, and Pluto retrograde is crafting intense arguments. The combination of these planets urges us to create a better dynamic with others, but the process and journey come with drama. The best way to handle matters is to be upfront and realistic, even though getting out of the clouds and having feet firmly grounded on earth is challenging. Think before speaking to articulate the correct sentiment and communication style.

Let people express and explain themselves before jumping to conclusions. A good listener will provide all the information and details missing from the story, so giving others a chance to speak their minds will prove beneficial, as long as no one gets too defensive or gaslights emotions. We can go a long way in establishing relationships if we hear friends and family members out to manifest a stronger foundation.

“My words are spells. I speak with intention. I keep what is sacred close and protect my visions as they bloom.”
