Here's What You Need To Know For The Gemini New Moon + How To Work With It
As we say goodbye to Taurus season and hello to Gemini, that can only mean one thing: We have a Gemini new moon on the horizon.
New moons are always a time for setting intentions and planting seeds, and with this new moon in curious Gemini, it should feel like a breath of fresh air.
Here's what to know about this new moon, plus three rituals to work with it, according to astrologers.
The astrology behind May's new moon
The new moon will be exact on Monday, May 26, at 11:02 p.m. EDT, and this time around, it's in the sign of social and chatty Gemini. This moon will also be a supermoon, so we can all expect to feel its effects even more than usual.
As the AstroTwins recently wrote for mindbodygreen, this potent supermoon could spark exciting synergies with friends old and new. "Cooperative, communicative vibes are in the air," they say, "so ride the wave!"
Not to mention, the twins note that Neptune and Saturn are at a friendly angle to la luna during this new moon, which could guide you toward collaborators who bring a rare mix of imagination and stability. "And you'll have no trouble magnetizing them, thanks to supportive beams from seductive Pluto and friendly Mercury," they add.
All in all? The vibe of this moon is light and fun—a welcome change of pace from the somewhat heavy energy we've been working with the past couple of months. Here's how to work with it.
3 rituals to work with it
