June 18, 2023: New Moon in GEMINI

A NEW MOON happens on JUNE 18, 2023 (12:37 PM, Philippine Time), at exactly 26°43′ of GEMINI.

This month’s New Moon is here, and once again, we find ourselves under a star-filled, moonless night. New Moon periods are windows of time where we may auspiciously set intentions, like planting seeds on fertile soil. Symbolically, we anchor our intentions to the lunar light, allowing these intentions to grow alongside the waxing of the Moon. This month’s curious NEW MOON happens in the realm of Mutable Air, GEMINI, the sign of the TWINS!

NEW MOON IN GEMINI

Gemini, represented by the Twins, is a sign associated with communication, intellectual exploration, and adaptability. It is the archetype of the inquisitive storyteller, the versatile adapter, the agile thinker. With the twins hosting this month’s New Moon, we collectively experience a heightened sense of duality, intellect and curiosity. This lunation drives us to seek not just dynamic communication, but a genuine sense of connection to another. We are invited to engage our minds, seek out new information, and stimulate intellectual discussions.

Mercury, the planet of words and the intellect also happens to be in Gemini, its home sign, strongly supporting this new moon energy. It’s an excellent time to pick up that book you’ve been meaning to read, start a new course, or simply engage in thought-provoking conversations, dear reader! Broadening your horizons and embracing a diversity of thoughts could bring about insightful revelations, and with the energy of the twins infused in this lunation, we are sharper, wittier, and more absorbent of information, almost like we have two brains to process information, two sets of ears to hear data, and two mouths to speak our thoughts. Information exchange is lightning quick, and the hunger for data, insatiable.

As always, a cosmic plot twist is at play, with the Moon exchanging tense conversations with Neptune, the planet of dreams, illusion, and spiritual longing. This complex interplay might blur the lines between fantasy and reality, stirring confusion and potential misunderstanding. On the positive side, Neptune can help us access our intuition, promote our creativity, and enable us to dream big. But, it also warns us to be aware of miscommunication, illusions, or misconceptions. There may be a tendency to see what we want to see, rather than what is actually there. We may easily be led down a labyrinth of confusion if we’re not careful, so it’s important to try your best to discern and differentiate from the ethereal mist of illusion, hearsay, and chismis (gossip), and the crystalline clarity of reality and truth. Before passing down important information, make sure it is well researched, reviewed, and fact-checked!

Under the influence of this New Moon, may we all discover not just new information, but a deeper knowledge and understanding of the areas of our lives where this lunation takes place. May we be receptive not just to intellectual revelations, but to deep, emotional insights as well. May words that escape our lips serve as bridges that bring us together, instead of wedges that keep us apart. And lastly, as we stand under this New Moon in Gemini, in front of this cosmic crossroads of intellect and intuition, dreams and reality, may we discover a harmonious rhythm, that guides us closer to our truths, leading us forward with minds brimming with understanding, and hearts connected to each other. ❤
