The New Moon in Gemini – A Call to Reclaim Wonder and Rise Above Fear

In a world where the media bombards us with fear and uncertainty, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But what if I told you there’s a cosmic opportunity to rise above the noise? On June 25th, the New Moon arrives in Gemini, the sign ruled by Mercury—the planet of communication and media. Instead of feeding into the fear, this New Moon invites us to explore beyond the headlines, reconnect with our innate curiosity, and rediscover what truly matters.


The Magic of Gemini: A Playground of Possibility

Gemini, the sign of the pure mind, is a realm of magic—a playground brimming with dynamic ideas, scientific curiosity, technological innovation, and creative storytelling. This New Moon in Gemini is a call to awaken our sense of wonder and curiosity, encouraging us to explore, experiment, and think beyond the limits of our current reality.

Symbolized by a man and woman in a sensual embrace, Gemini reflects the dance of duality within us all. We are a blend of opposites: light and dark, calm and chaos, material and immaterial. When we harmonize these polarities, we unlock the power to perceive infinite possibilities.


Reconnecting with Our Inner Child

In our youth, we played freely with this duality, unburdened by judgment or fear. But as we age, responsibilities and pressures often harden us, and we lose touch with the fluid, open-minded state that once allowed us to see the world with awe. This New Moon is here to remind us of that childlike wonder—a time when we eagerly explored everything around us with curiosity and excitement.


Jupiter’s Influence: Expansion and Reflection

Amplifying this New Moon is Jupiter, the planet of knowledge, expansion, and good luck, which has been in Gemini since May 14th. However, Jupiter is currently “burnt,” being very close to the Sun until mid-July. When Jupiter is combust, matters related to learning, teaching, and children may feel challenging, prompting us to turn inward for reflection.


This aligns perfectly with the energy of the New Moon, which is also a time for internal work. Despite Jupiter’s current state, its presence in Gemini brings a year-long focus on mental agility, information exploration, and the expansion of communication, education, and trade. Gemini’s playful energy urges us to question, experiment, and learn without judgment, expanding our knowledge base.


The Storms of Ardra: Clearing Mental Weight

The Sun, Moon, and Jupiter are framed by the Nakshatra Ardra, ruled by Rudra, the fierce form of Shiva. Rudra brings storms to destroy the ignorance in our minds—the limiting beliefs, excuses, and habits that keep us from our true potential. These storms are here to help us see our self-erected obstacles and clear away the mental weight that holds us back.


The symbol of Ardra is a teardrop, and you might shed a few tears during this time. But have you ever noticed how a genuine cry releases so much facade and built-up armor? Once that mask comes down, we feel lighter, freer to explore and experiment again. Imagine the freshness and fertility of your mind once you’ve cleared away the mental clutter.


Reigniting the Inner Child

Gemini reignites our inner child, and children move through storms swiftly because their minds are not attached to an outcome. With childlike curiosity, we can experience the intricate details of the world around us with innocent eyes. In these confusing times, it’s essential to focus on what inspires us and take action with clear ideas. Gemini encourages us to make conscious choices, share our skills, and communicate clearly.


A Return to Purity and Exploration

This is a time to return to that pure state of mind—neutral, pliable, and open to all realities without fear. Let go of rigidity and embrace the freedom of exploration. The New Moon in Gemini is here to remind us that we are infinite beings, far beyond

the fear we see in the media. We are curious, creative, and capable of infinite possibilities.

So, will you answer the call? Will you rise above the noise, reconnect with your inner child, and bring your gifts to the world?
