New Moon in Gemini

Openly Communicate with the Universe

New Moons are our shot at a do over for the month, they are a time to welcome new beginnings, and openly communicate our hopes and wishes to the wider world. Gemini is a positive mutable sign representing communication, socialization, and conceptualization. Communication is key for this new moon. If we are ready to start to a new cycle or make real changes in our lives we have to openly communicate that. This new moon is a perfect moment to get out of your head, in to your heart, and socialize.

In the body, the throat chakra is our center of expression and communication. This chakra is related to the element of sound and is about the expression of yourself: your truth, purpose in life, creativity. The throat chakra’s emphasis is on expressing and projecting into the world according to authenticity. The throat chakra enables you to discover yourself and speak with wisdom and honesty regardless of the situation or company you are in. Keeping the throat chakra in balance asks you to talk it out, write it out if you’re not ready to talk it out, or just let go and let it be - wipe the slate clean and start over.

Right now, we need to be speaking our most important wants and needs and using right speech.

Let us be guided by the Buddhist Five Gatekeepers of Speech as we figure out specifically what we wish most for right now:

Is it true?

Is it kind?

Is it beneficial?

Is it necessary?

Is it the right time?

So under this new moon, let the five gatekeepers guide our communication towards harmony and dynamic expression. Use them to formulate one thing you need to express or wish for the most right now and speak it aloud - in private, to the moon, to your cat, whatever - as long as you use your voice and pronounce it. That's it, that's all we need to do, that is the ritual.

May all of our wishes be openly expressed and heard. And may we have a fun weekend filled with fun and joyful expression - laughter, singing, hearty and humorous conversations...for many of us its exactly what we need most.
