The New Moon this month takes place in Gemini on May 20 - 21. This is no usual New Moon this month, it's a New Moon Eclipse also known as a Solar Eclipse. A Solar Eclipse takes place when the Sun, the Earth and the Moon line up. It's a 'super-charged' New Moon and there often feels like there is an element of fate attached to events surrounding it.
This month it's all about Air sign Gemini. Gemini is
ruled by Mercury, the Planet of thinking and communication. Which is why
the chatty one in the room is usually a Gemini!
New Moons are a great time to initiate or launch something but with this New Moon, it's like a total fresh start in the area of your life it affects! Obviously, if you so choose to accept the mission. Times like this are like gateways which you can choose to step through, and sometimes someone else just pushes you through and says ready or not it's time! Look at the house the New Moon Eclipse affects for you below, can you see how a fresh start is in order? It's up to you to initiate a change and you're fully supported to do so. Don't let your past be the predictor of your future, now is the time to initiate something better for yourself.
Ways you can benefit or use the New Moon Eclipse energy in Gemini.
- Plant "seeds" for change
- Make a fresh start
- Launch a new endeavour
- Go with 'the flow' of any changes happening to you
- Set some powerful intentions and start them!
- Be adaptable to new information
- Free yourself from mental restrictions
The New Moon energy can last for a week or so but is
strongest at the time of the New Moon and loses potency as time goes on
so there's no time like the present! However, with a Solar Ecplise the effects can last up to 6 months or more! In actual fact we will have another Eclipse in a couple of weeks, a Lunar Eclipse.
