Gemini new moon reflections:
‘When I speak I use words thoughtfully, I am curious to expand my awareness’
Moon notes: New moon with the Gemini flavour, Saturn squaring Mercury in retrograde with a Pluto connection, Jupiter hyping up Mars in Aries.
Counting steps or reps or tasks as meditation to keep the mind from fraying into a million spirals.
Repeating positive mantras over to avoid old negative mind loops into black holes.
Breathing counted breaths to come back to centre post eclipse window, integration.
Focused movement and breath helps jittering, attention seeking endless threads of thought.
Things are still not clear just yet with the mind god moving backwards, but this new moon is a reset regardless, and a moment of stillness in between thoughts and other fleeting, sometimes confusing moments.
Stay on course, focused and grateful to be in each moment, in a body, here now.

Astrologer Colin Bedell says:
Austrian Philosopher Ludwig Bittenstein said, “The limits of my language define the limits of my world.”And if there is a better quote that summarizes “Gemini”, let me know. I haven’t found it yet. The New Moon in Gemini on May 30th asks us to use our words carefully, stay curious about expanding awareness, and expand awareness by expanding our language. What interrupts this process is the fact that many of us - myself included - were not raised in families or educated in schools that inspires us to 1) recognize we have a collective communication issue and 2) there’s much we can do about it.
Strong verbal communication skills are not in the Gemini air. I wish they were; but they’re not. So it behooves each and everyone of us to recognize we have work to do around the New Moon mantra. And that’s why the New Moon is arriving now. One of the scariest but most necessary things I recommend in my Astrology consultations is asking my client to ask someone they trust how they can improve their communication. I think we’re so afraid to admit that we don’t do it perfectly so we just keep on pretending. I’d like to ask you to ask your confidantes whether or not you’re an over or undertaker. Do they feel like you’re genuinely listening to understand or listening to respond? Do they feel like you ask enough personal, follow-up, open-ended questions to register that you heard what they said? Are you overtalking and not giving others the space for them to share? These are tough but necessary questions to get the feedback we need in order to maintain relational self-awareness in communication.
On that note, I think it’s beautiful that Gemini is the introduction of humanity in Astrology and humanity appears in relationship as the symbol of the Twins. There’s loaded symbolism there. Like the fact that humanity is not meant to be in isolation. We’re meant to do this work together. We’re meant to be in right relationship. It’s encoded in our DNA for survival and health. Now because Gemini is the one and only mutable air sign, what I gather from the meaning of the Twins is that - language, conversation, listening, perception, and curiosity - are irreducible skills for meaningful relationships. We can’t be in healthy, functional, meaningful relationships without the conscious, deliberate effort of improving the way we speak and hear one another.
The New Moon’s chart has only one major aspect worth mentioning and its the sextile to Mars in Aries. I think this New Moon could help us self-disclose who we are trying to become and thus we see self-disclosure as a means for self-revelation. If you know it’s time to reintroduce yourself - and Gemini knows a thing or two about reinvention - let it happen on Monday. Wishing you the language for self-disclosure, second-chances, new beginnings, and closure.
