Gemini New Moon
trusting your capacity

Hi friends,
Is anyone else feeling that tingly, even excited sensation in the air?
There’s something exhilarating floating in the ethers, like an arrow of clear focus cutting through the mental clutter and social chaos. Making a moment suddenly feel full of promise.
The Gemini New Moon arrives like a breath of fresh air—cool, light, and electric with potential.
A buzz in the atmosphere.
A skip in your step.
A quiet (or maybe not-so-quiet) hope rising in the chest.
And yet, if you pause to listen closely, you might also feel (hear, see or know) the mental static.
A kind of congestion behind the eyes.
A mind spinning with what-ifs and shoulds.
Too many thoughts vying for airtime, causing the mind to overthink the very thing it longs to feel.
This is the paradox of Gemini—so full of energy, possibility, and connection, yet so easily swept into a cerebral storm of their own making. But this New Moon isn’t here to confuse us . It’s here to help us remember.
Remember that we are capable of holding more.
More clarity. More joy. More connection. More embodiment. More truth.
The Gemini new Moon teaches us to trust our capacity—not just to have more, but to hold more too.

curious like a gemini
The mutable (or adaptable) Air sign, Gemini is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, thought, language, and learning.
Known for being social, clever, communicative, curious, adaptable and open-minded, Gemini is a sign of movement—quick, light, playful, adaptable.
There’s a buoyancy to this sign, a social spark that thrives on interaction and storytelling. Gemini invites us to dance with our ideas, to reach out, to learn and laugh and share.
Being an Air sign, the element that rules the mind and our thoughts, Gemini is also known for at times being scattered, indecisive and mentally overstimulated.
Represented by the twins, Gemini is also well known for their dual nature or ability to switch between different personalities, like their social butterfly side, and their more introspective and thoughtful side.
Infinitely curious, and a lover of learning, Gemini energy also teaches us that we have a choice when it comes to our mental perspectives. We can choose to look at things through fear, lack or dismay, or we can choose to perceive the same situations with a very different, even more optimistic perspective.
Gemini teaches us that curiosity is sacred, that questions matter as much as answers, and that our whole world expands when we engage it with wonder.
The Gemini New Moon invites us to witness our relationship to thought and communication:
Are our thoughts aligned with our deeper knowings—or just running on old loops?
Are our conversations honest and expansive—or performative and safe?
This is where the deeper meaning of trusting your capacity begins to take root.
The nervous system is the silent architect of our daily experience—it governs how much stimulation we can handle, how open we feel to others, how safe it is to receive, and how grounded we remain as life shifts and expands.
This Gemini New Moon, with its emphasis on mental clarity and authentic communication, invites us to trust in our own nervous system’s ability to hold the life we’re dreaming into being.
When we want more—more connection, more love, more abundance—our nervous systems must learn that it’s safe to both receive and sustain that more.
Gemini’s Air teaches us that breath is the bridge into receptivity.
That thought patterns are fluid and re-writable.
That language is not just about expressing—but about creating.
So as you plant your New Moon intentions, notice:
Can you breathe into your desires without tensing?
Can you speak your vision without shrinking?
Can you hold a big dream without the mental static short-circuiting your system?
This Gemini New Moon helps us reset those patterns.
It reminds us that our minds are not problems to fix, but gorgeous gardens to tend.
That our words are spells.
And that our nervous systems—when gently supported—can stretch to meet the futures we’re building.
A Heart, A Mind, A Voice
When I tuned in intuitively to this Gemini New Moon, I felt three chakras (energy centers) stirring with messages.
The Heart chakra glowed with hope—like a soft candle lit within. The desire to believe again. To open just a little wider. To trust that good things are still coming.
The Third Eye, though, felt cloudy—like there’s been too much input and not enough room to see. All the opinions, plans, and projections have created congestion, and the inner vision is asking for a gentle clearing.
And the Throat chakra pulsed with longing. Not just for words, but for honesty. For communication that feels alive and real. For conversations that don’t just skim the surface, but dive beneath.
This Gemini New Moon is about trusting your capacity to open all three:
To feel what’s true.
To see what’s possible.
To say what matters.
Saturn Enters Aries May 24: Structure for the Fire Within
Just two days before this New Moon, Saturn shifts into Aries for the first time in nearly 30 years. This is no small event.
Saturn is the planet of commitment, integrity, and long-term growth. It brings structure, but not the kind that confines—it’s the structure that holds what we really care about.
Saturn asks us to get real:
What are you building?
What are you responsible for?
What kind of foundation are you creating for your future?
In Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, Saturn’s grounded wisdom meets the fire of initiative. This is the beginning of a new cycle of self-leadership. Saturn in Aries says, no one is coming to do it for you. You are the one you’ve been waiting for.
This is where it all ties in.
Because holding your capacity doesn’t just mean staying open to more joy, more love, more ideas. It also means committing to what you’re ready to claim. It means creating the inner space—and the outer container—to hold the life you’re calling in.
Under this Gemini New Moon, Saturn in Aries anchors the airy excitement with fiery momentum.
With Saturn in Aries and the New Moon in Gemini, we’re being asked to stop thinking about the path and start walking it. You don’t need all the answers. You need momentum—and trust in your capacity to figure it out as you go.
Mercury Cazimi in Gemini May 29: The Mind Illuminated
Just days after the New Moon, Mercury (Gemini’s ruling planet) aligns exactly with the Sun in a moment known as a cazimi. In ancient astrology, a cazimi is when a planet sits in the “heart of the Sun,” empowered rather than burned by its brightness.
While not a rare event, (there are typically 2-3 Mercury cazimis in any given year and 5 in 2025!) this Mercury cazimi in Gemini is especially potent because Mercury is at home in Gemini—extra sharp, expressive, and insightful.
This Mercury cazimi in Gemini is like a lightning strike of mental clarity. A truth revealed. A message received. An idea whose time has come.
Mercury in Gemini already brings brilliance and sharp insight. But in cazimi, something even deeper happens—your thoughts align with the core of who you are. The mind doesn’t race ahead or get lost in loops. It serves the self. It speaks with purpose.
If you’ve been waiting for the words to come…
If you’ve been stuck in indecision, or not knowing what to say…
Watch what happens around this date.
This is a rare window to speak, write, connect, and express with aligned clarity—not from mental force, but from deep, illuminated truth. This is not just communication—it is communion.
you’re already doing it
Trusting your capacity isn’t about stretching yourself thin.
Trusting your capacity is about remembering how wide you already are. How much space there is within you for clarity, connection, expression, and becoming.
This Gemini New Moon carries a thrilling promise—that you are ready for more. Not more chaos. Not more noise. But more of what matters. More of what makes you curious, open, connected, and experiential.
May Gemini’s fresh breath uplift you and help you trust your ability to hold the beautiful life you’ve already created, along with what’s still on the way to you.
with infinite love and appreciation,
Rachael

This Gemini new Moon is hugged by deeply supportive transits, forming a minor grand trine with Pluto, Saturn, and Neptune.
It invites powerful transformation in how we learn and communicate. It’s harmony between power dynamics, intuition, our mind, and our sense of discipline.
Neptune’s influence adds imagination and intuition, helping us expand beyond perceived limits and lean into the “impossible.” Meanwhile, Saturn provides the structure and grounding needed for real, lasting change.
Together, these energies support organic, sustainable shifts in our mental patterns, social dynamics, and our understanding of duality.
