However, before we get to the solstice, we have another New Moon! I am grateful for the times the New Moon comes around. It affords us a period of rest and reflection, as well as a time for new beginnings! We can take this a step further and work with the energy of the Zodiac, embracing the sign of Gemini for this moon.

What Is A New Moon?
If you need a recap of what a New Moon is, click here! 🌑
Astronomically speaking, a New Moon is the period of time when the moon is at 0% illumination. The Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth. This causes Earth’s shadow to fully cover the Moon leaving the night sky in darkness.
There are several different beliefs regarding the New Moon and witchcraft. Some witches believe this is the time to start new projects. Others believe it is a time of rest and recovery where no magic should be done.
What does a new moon symbolize? This is a time of introspection, self-analysis and reflection. An opportunity for a fresh start and a New You. - New Moon Rituals (Spells8)
The Sign Of Gemini
Gemini is the twin sign of the Zodiac – two sides of the same coin. Gemini is a mutable air sign, the third of the Zodiac, and is ruled by Mercury. Just as chatty as two people can be, Gemini enjoys communication and is very sociable. With their knack for words, it is common to see a Gemini at the center of attention, keeping everyone captivated with their storytelling and speech. This is good for the Gemini as they often need constant stimulation to keep themselves engaged – Mercury plays a role here in communication, as does the element of Air. Gemini is wistful, flitting between different subjects and places that interest them. It can be difficult to hold their concentration as long, boring, and arduous tasks are uninteresting to them.

Remember, the energy of the New Moon isn’t just for the one day that it reaches its peak. Personally, I give myself a three-day window for the New Moon: the day before, the day of, and the day after. This works well for my practice and it may work for yours, too!
