Hello beautiful humans! Today marks the beginning of a moon cycle with the New Moon in Gemini. In this article, we will go over why it is PURE MAGICK to live by the moon, what the new moon specifically represents, and how Gemini comes into play in all of this moon madness. There’s a lot to discuss, so let’s dive in.
People have been living by the phases of the moon for thousands and thousands of years. A moon cycle is roughly 29 ½ days, not-so coincidentally about the same length as a calendar month. We kept time with the moon’s cycles for so long because it was easy, look up at the night sky and you know what phase you’re in, and because it worked. In my opinion, living by the moon cycle is what the universe intended. We are gifted by nature this perfect way to measure time, why change it? Anyways, your life can become magick when you begin to live by the moon. The energy in our world literally (scientifically proven) shifts so much throughout the moon cycle. The New Moon, what we are experiencing today, is the time with the lowest energy, while the full moon is the time with the highest energy. Makes sense, right?
Ancient people, along with those who continue to live in the “old” ways, knew this. One last tid-bit before we move into what we should do on the new moon, what other cycle is about the same time as the moon’s? Women can especially benefit from living by the moon. Our periods reflect the moon cycle to a T. Many women, especially those more “in-tune” I will say with the earth, come to find that they will bleed on the full moon.
The New Moon is a time of reflection. It is a time to look inwards and set your intentions for the coming 29 ½ish days. My favorite thing to do is to grab my journal and write out what I want to accomplish this month. It is always fun to let your creative muscles flex and add in some fun colors or drawing to this too. My best advice with this would be to keep it attainable. Some things obviously take more than a few weeks to cultivate, so keep that in mind.
After you put into the physical world what you want, begin to visualize it. What will it look like? Then, what will it feel like? Up until the Full Moon, start every morning by affirming that this goal is already in motion to become reality, or acting as if it has already happened. This moon phase is also the time to rest. Have a cozy night at home, either by yourself or with close-loved ones. As I said before, this is the lowest energy point in the cycle. It is important to be mindful of this and allow yourself time to relax.
Now that you know all about the New Moon, what makes this month’s different from the rest? This new moon is in Gemini, which gives it a certain flair. Gemini is a wonderful time for communication. This can be learning to speak your mind, enhancing a relationship’s communication skills, or you may just find yourself a bit chattier than usual. Your natural charm will be heightened, so use that to your advantage. Goals related to your social life, speaking up, and love-life related tend to have an extra boost this cycle; however, you can still set whatever intentions you want. It is just helpful to be mindful about what is going on in the cosmos.
I hope you enjoyed learning about the magick of this moon! I would love to receive pictures of your beautiful intention-journaling or any questions on how to manifest goals. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reading.
Love
