Or how to slow down and wait for clarity!

On June 18th, at 04:36 GMT, the Sun and the Moon, both at 26° of Gemini will form a mystical and foggy New Moon. This New Moon in Gemini is the 3rd New Moon of Spring season (in the Northern Hemisphere) and this is called a Black Moon. A black moon is totally invisible and usually represents a period of incubation and retreat in order to make the best decision possible. The impossibility to see the Moon is also associated with the very idea of not having clarity of thought or a clear understanding of our reality/situations/environment…

This is particularly intense with the Moon being in Gemini because a foggy brain and a lack of clarity go against many of the zodiac Twins qualities: flowy communication and information, adaptable mind and intellect, clear and always on target wit… and the list goes on!

Unlike usual New Moons, this lunation won’t work well with intention setting and we must wait for clarity and discernment before writing down anything we want to manifest. Vague and ambiguous desires won’t be accepted. The Sun and the Moon are both forming a square to Neptune in Pisces and this adds even more fog and uncertainty to the mix. Illusions, deceit, white lies and tricky conversations are on the menu and this is not appealing to our Jack-of-all-trades and master communicator Gemini. The tense aspect between Neptune, the Sun and the Moon is asking us to let go of mental activity (it’s going nowhere, too scattered and all over the place) and to focus on our intuitive side. Not always easy, huh? But so essential nonetheless. If we can reconnect to our natural instinct or gut feeling, we’ll be able to blend our intuitive heart with our logical mind and get the best of both worlds.

This New Moon is also in opposition to the Galactic Centre in Sagittarius and pushes us to dive deeper into our psyche and to focus more on what is truly important in our life: we must ponder, reflect and be introspective. Reconnecting to Source is fundamental because it’s this connection that brings truth and direction to our existence.

The best piece of advice that I can think of for this New Moon in Gemini is to be flexible, patient and to say less. The gift of innate knowledge is developing inside us and as all wonderful things, it takes time but it’s worth it!
