★ALL New Moons have the strongest effect on us 3 days prior and up to 3 days after ★
The Moon is New in Gemini, the Twins, on Tuesday, June 16th, at 7:05am {pacific time}
New Moons are a time of starting over, new beginnings, taking action steps towards your dreams and goals, creating and renewal!
New Moons are always about New Beginnings and taking action steps towards your dreams. This Moon is at 25° degrees of Gemini and connected to our Sun in Gemini. Gemini energy is all about communication, the mind, thinking, expressing, learning & teaching. Gemini energy craves variety, play, & new experiences. You are ready to get out into the world, entertain and take action. Especially with the New Moon conjunct not only the Sun now, but action-oriented Mars. This gives a lot of energy to your thoughts, ideas, and expression. You are likely energetic, quick to act and to react.
Restlessness is likely and impatience highly probable. Thoughts are flowing brilliantly into your brain. So, watch out for overwhelm and headaches. Put your ideas onto paper and narrow it down to your most brilliant and reasonable ideas at this point in time. What is the first step? What makes the most sense? Then communicate this CLEARLY and PRECISELY as communication can be highly confusing now with Mercury squaring Neptune. It’s difficult to get your point across so if you find this happening look to alternative ways to express instead of becoming angry or impatient. There are many ways to share and be heard. Painting, drawing, acting, dancing, writing, body language, filming, teaching, speaking, listening, organizing, exercising, list making, singing….you get the point. Use your creativity and imagination! Think outside the box. If you desire to feel more understood, remember to stay open to other’s point of view as well.
How can your curiosity be cured?
What new things do you want to learn or take classes on?
What are you restless about and excited to share?
What clever ideas are bursting forth to be expressed?
You want to be heard, but are you listening?
Affirmation:
“I easily find myself understanding other people’s points of view, and feeling the pleasure of a deep mental rapport.”
Gemini New Moon is a social time. We feel witty, friendly, and enjoy a variety of activities. Curiosity is prominent where Gemini is involved. Cure your curiosity by experiencing something new. Short trips are perfect to satisfy our inquisitive & changeable nature now! This could even be getting out and traveling across town to experience something new and stimulating to our minds. If there is something you have been wanting to learn more about you will feel ready to take action at the time of this New Moon and begin the courses or classes on your topic of interest. If you’re in the teaching profession you may have something new you have been wanting to share and now is a great time to take the action steps.
Talking is a favorite with the influence of new moon in Gemini. Make sure you don’t allow a mischiveous nature to get you into trouble or pull you into mindless gossip. It’s okay to have fun, just not at the expense of others or by playing manipulative mind games. Stay out of other people’s business. Remember the old phrase, “curiosity killed the cat” ! Mind your business.
If you are feeling reactive, due to the influence of Mars at this New Moon, stop to breathe {slow breaths, in and out through your nose} and consider both sides. Let the logic of the Gemini Sun & Moon guide you before making any decisions. With Mars sextile Uranus you can easily tap into and feel independent and free. It will be hard to settle down and maintain your nervous energy. It’s much more pleasing to keep things exciting now.
The danger here is to become so unsettled that you cannot see any of your ideas or projects through and to become very scattered instead of thorough. You are ready to take a risk and be DARING now. If you are unable to see something through to completion, consider getting someone else involved who is feeling more focused and can help you bring your ideas through to completion. Avoid being disruptive just to create an exciting environment.
Have fun with life! Enjoy each moment as if it were brand new, because it is.
Affirmation:
“I easily find myself having a more positive, lighthearted approach to life.”
LOVE
At the time of the New Moon Venus {planet of Love} is in the sign of Leo and that bring fun and romance to your relationship. You want to go out and socialize with your partner. Flamboyance, dressing up, connecting with friends, fun and glam events are at the top of the list. Love can be demanding now but we are warm and generous with our love and partnerships now too. Remember to let your partner shine too. Everyone deserves their day in the sun.
If single, you will be drawn to the type that is well put together, with an air of royalty about them. The one that stands out from the crowd and commands attention, is popular, charismatic and outgoing {maybe even a little pompous}. Just remember to have fun, treat well and be treated well.
HEALTH
Yoga Exercise: Gemini is connected to the hands, arms, shoulders and lungs. Gemini is about communication and often we express and communicate by using our hands and arms.
★ Chatturanga Push-ups:
Start in Plank with hands under your shoulders.
Keep your hips lifted and in a straight line to your shoulders or above.
DO NOT let the hips sink lower to the mat and dump into your low back.
Navel draws in & up towards the heart.
Tailbone reaches towards heels.
MODIFICATION:: Knees can rest on the ground and do not need to stay lifted.
Lower down slowly toward the ground.
Keep the elbows close to the side body, if possible.
Keep your shoulders above elbows or in line with them and ONLY lower to your edge.
Push back up to Plank on an exhale.
MODIFICATION:: Release to the ground with knees down and push back up to start again.
ADVANCED:: 1 leg can lift as you lower towards the ground. Repeat with opposite leg.
Begin with 10 rounds and work your way up to as many as you can!
NOTE: This pose is challenging so naturally there will be some discomfort. However, if you experience sharp pain or low back pain do not continue. Low back pain could be due to lack of core strength or engagement.
BENEFITS: Keep your shoulders & arms strong with this exercise.
Affirmation:
“I easily find myself taking actions that lead to my successfully restoring my lungs, hands, arms, and shoulders to perfect health & beauty.”
Strengthen your lungs with some DEEP breaths in and out through your nose…
★ Inhale More Breath to expand the Lungs:
Inhale deeply through your nose.
Hold the breath IN at the top of your inhale.
Take sips of air to try and fill the lungs up even more.
Sip in air 3x on first round.
Hold until you can’t any longer, then SLOWLY exhale through your nose.
Take a deep breath. Then complete 2 more rounds. 2nd round sip in air 5x while holding. 3rd time sip in 7x while holding.
PRACTICE this SEATED with a long spine. You may feel light-headed that is normal. Be gentle with yourself and start slowly. If feeling too dizzy take a bit longer in between breaths to feel grounded.
★ If you have high blood pressure don’t practice this breath without consulting with your physician first.
MUDRA::
Hold this mudra for the Lungs and Asthma while practicing the breath
Directions: Left hand closest to your body, the palms face your heart. Touch the pinky tips and thumb tips together and spread the rest of the fingers wide. Besides the thumbs and pinkys, the hands are not touching and there is space between them.
