New Moon in Gemini + Mercury Retrograde

The new moon in Gemini is light, carefree and refreshing - especially following eclipse season! This is a time for fun, laughter and stories. It’s “throw your hands up and dance with your bestie” energy! There is also an emphasis on Gemini’s favorite word - communication! However, because this Gemini new moon is happening alongside a retrograde mercury, that communication aspect could be related to something you need to repeat. There's a good chance, whatever you have said before, will need to be said again this week. Or, another message you thought you understood, could show up again - meaning you need to really take the time to analyze it.

In general, it's a good time to set communication goals or intentions - this can relate to writing or speaking. But seriously, Gemini can act as a muse for the next few days and we might be surprised that words start flowing out of us when we actually make ourselves sit down and write. No pressure - this is just for fun and to let Gemini open up your mind and share what you’ve been storing.

Gemini also encompasses great social energy - make some plans to get out and do something this week - preferably go where you can have great conversations with some of your favorite people - Happy hour? Brunch? A picnic perhaps?

You might also be inspired to learn something new, or teach something new to someone else - what do you feel like you want to be an expert about, or already are an expert on?
