Happy June Moon Beams!
All is in flux as June blooms us into new experiences and expressions…We have a fluttery NEW MOON in GEMINI rising on June 14th/15th, right before the SOLSTICE on the 21st, heralding a new cycle of regeneration and serving as a bridge for our Soul to move more freely into this world. Gemini is ruled by the twins, where one is mortal, and the other is immortal. Together, they represent the duality of life and the balance between our physical and spiritual beings.
Gemini is a flexible, extensive, multi-faceted zodiac sign. As an archetype, Gemini energy hops and skips and changes both shape and mind more than any other. This New Moon encourages this kind of pliability AND reminds us of its downfalls – too much time adapting to the needs and opinions and preferences of other people may push you into the danger zone of *not* doing what’s right for you. So try hard under this Moon to stay true you YOUR internal guidance system. A softer message for this lunation…to encourage us to stop intellectualizing every emotion and start leading with their heart instead. Many may suddenly feel called to express what they’ve been holding back, reconnect with forgotten dreams, or speak truths they’ve been afraid to admit, even to themselves. We want to be open and ready for all the ideas originating from Gemini’s magic to flow in. This requires a grounded energy to hold this space.
The energy that we can ground with is Gemini’s opposite, Saggitarius. Sag is a grounded and focused teacher and balances out Gemini’s lack of precision through devotion to an energy much greater than his own. Both are thinkers, movers, and creators; Gemini has the flow of creative ideas, and Sag takes those ideas, aims at his target, and releases the arrow with full trust in the divine plan. To enter this space of grounded action and possible ideas, take extra time during your morning routine, or throughout the day to tune in. Take some deep breaths and ground into the present moment. Become a sacred vessel for the healing ointment to be poured into. Journal about your dreams, pull cards, take a nature walk, and breathe into your inner fire.
Sacred tools that may be helpful during the New Moon and the days surrounding are; eucalyptus oil for mental fatigue and circulation to the brain, smudging with sustainably sourced plant bundles like palo santo or frankincense resin, lighting a candle and meditating on the flame, reading books like Women Who Run With the Wolves to tap into that primal nature and guided rebirth, or using a sacred mala to practice mantra repetition. This New Moon is pure magick and can be used as a reset, a release of ideas not manifested, and a return to ideas that may be calling your attention again. May you ground yourself into the energy of wind, the magick of ideas, and the depth of your soul.
