Witchy Sh!t : Gemini New Moon 2025
Resources for your rituals & practices
Tomorrow, May 26, at 8:02pm pdt the new moon will be occuring in Gemini. Gemini is represented by the twins, and in the tarot by the Lovers card. It speaks of duality on the surface, of this or that, to be one thing or another, right or wrong, masculine or feminine, with no grey or crossover. However, when you go beneath that surface, Gemini is really about nonduality - the truth that the answer is often both and, not either or. That there is nuance, many shades of grey (and orange, purple, yellow, and green). It asks us to embrace our wholeness, not to supress, repress, or try to exile the parts of us we think are problematic.
Gemini also represents the third house in the astrological wheel, which covers the domains of local community, personal ritual, communication, logic and thinking, and siblings. Gemini is also ruled by Mercury, who is not only rules over communication, but also mischief. Mercury is as much a trickster as he is eloquent. He can offer clarity and also confusion. Things are not always as they appear when we think of Mercury’s multiple nature, and so we need to consider this when we come to this Gemini New Moon.
New moons are about beginnings, planting seeds, starting new things, changing habits or behaviors. A Gemini new moon is an invitation to beginning practices and rituals that embrace our multiple aspects, that helps us call home the parts of ourselves we have exiled, to integrate them. It is an invitation to consider the ways we only allow ourselves to see parts of others, to not see the wholeness of humanity, and to broaden our vision and perceptions. It is an opportunity to clear confusion, with ourselves, our values, our relationships. It is the time to look at the ways we don’t communicate - our wants, needs, values, desires - effectively or clearly, to understand the roots of why that is, and to begin (again) that work of change.
Resources
Somatic exercise - Butterfly Tap
Cross/fold your arms at your chest so that your hands are resting at your elbows or upper arm. Alternate tapping one arm then the other with your hands (it is important to do it alternatively and not in unison). Alternatively, you can "drum" or tap your fingers only on the opposite arm, then tap the fingers of the other hand. Another alternative is to squeeze your arms, squeezing one then the other. Tap, drum, or squeeze as gently or as firmly as you like. Do this for one minute, then change your arms so the bottom arm is on top, and repeat.
