The new moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, a time when the sky is dark and energy turns inward. Spiritually, it invites reflection, intention-setting, and the quiet planting of seeds for new beginnings. The Gemini New Moon on the 27th of May AEST opens a portal for new beginnings, especially in the realms of thought, language, and connection. It is a breath of cosmic air, inviting you to renew your mind, awaken your voice, and reimagine the path ahead. Gemini, the celestial messenger, teaches that true growth begins with wonder, with the sacred art of asking, listening, and weaving ideas into form. This lunation whispers that change need not come through force, but through presence, play, and openness. As you set your intentions, attune to the quiet pulse of inspiration. Trust the flickers of curiosity. Let your thoughts become prayers, your words become spells, and your voice become a vessel for the future you are here to create
Gemini is an air sign ruled by the element of wind, symbolising intellect, communication, and the flow of ideas. Ruled by Mercury and connected to the throat chakra, it’s a powerful time to set intentions around speaking your truth, learning, writing, or connecting in new ways. This lunar moment encourages flexibility, open-mindedness, and exploring duality that is reminding us that growth begins with curiosity and honest expression. Colour themes include yellow, blue, and white, reflecting clarity, insight, and lightness of being.

Gemini New Moon Rituals - Honouring the element of Air/ Wind
♡ Use a feather, piece of paper, or simply your hand to gently draw air toward you as you speak aloud what you wish to invite into your life. To let go of what no longer serves you, speak it aloud as you sweep the air away from yourself.
♡ When setting intentions, light a candle and say them out loud. Use your breath to blow out the candle and let the smoke carry your intentions out into the world. (You can do this with incense or smudge sticks as well.)
♡ Go for a walk on a breezy day. Let the wind wash over you, carrying away negativity, stress, and emotional heaviness.
♡ Dance to your favourite music. Sound moves through the vibration of particles in the air, lifting your mood and helping shift stagnant energy. Move your body in a way that feels right for where you are in your cycle, honouring your rhythm.
Throat Activation Practice - Honouring the Gemini Chakra
1. Center Yourself
Sit or stand comfortably with your spine straight. Close your eyes and take three slow, deep breaths. Feel your body relax and your awareness drop into the present moment.
2. Gentle Neck Stretches
Slowly roll your head in a circle to release tension in your neck and shoulders.
3. Breath + Sound
Inhale deeply through your nose. As you exhale, make a gentle humming sound (like the sound of a bee: “mmm”).
Feel the vibration in your throat. Repeat 5–7 times. You can also try a long, smooth "AH" or “OM” sound, letting the vibration resonate in your neck and chest.
4. Speak Your Truth (Out Loud)
Say out loud a few simple, empowering affirmations:
- “My voice matters.”
- “I express myself freely and clearly.”
- “I speak with honesty and love.”
5. Use Your Hands
Place your fingertips lightly over your throat or gently tap the centre of your throat in a circular motion. This adds physical awareness and helps awaken energy in the area.
6. Addition
- Drink warm herbal tea
- Sing, hum, chant or howl to further activate the voice.
- Wear or visualise the colour blue, associated with the throat chakra.
✦ Are you bleeding or ovulating with this New Moon? ✦
Prior to electricity, women ovulated according to their physiological and hormonal response to the amount of light in the night sky. Our biological blueprint is to ovulate when there is the most light in the night sky - during the full moon. This then leads to us bleeding with the new moon. However our body does shift and is constantly communicating with us.
♡ Menstruating
Calls for hibernation, looking inward, clearing, cleansing the old to make space for the new cycle.
