Hello my loveys! Welcome to the New Moon in Gemini
on May 28th 2014! I know we are all in a better frame of mind from
the last New Moon we had, which was a Solar Eclipse in Taurus. For most of this
spring we had eclipses, retrogrades and cardinal squares (oh my!)
However, this moon has us in the shadow of the
Mercury Retrograde, which can be problematic since the new moon is in Gemini,
and Mercury is the ruler of Gemini.
But I’m not scared of a Mercury Retrograde. It
requires us to slow down, act right and pay attention. We spend so much time in
a rush or a fog we miss most things. Remember Ferris Bueller’s words of advice
“if you don’t slow down, you might miss something”.
While we have the Mercury Retrograde working
against us, we have some awesome aspect hitting us on this New Moon. It’s in a
beautiful angle to Mars in Libra, and the current Sun in Gemini. Venus also
moves into Taurus, giving us a terrific grounding and jump off point for the
magic of the New Moon.
I love New Moons, and the potential they offer us.
Full moons get a lot of hype (you know, the whole magical, lunacy thing it has
going on) but if you want more bang for your buck, find out when the New Moon
is and tap that energy. Every New Moon has a theme, a mood and a lesson.
Depending on which sign the New Moon is in, and where it falls in your chart,
and how it affects your rising and sun sign is key to knowing how to make the
New Moon Magicks work for you.
First? Lets get your tools.
What you need:
Pen/paper – write down what you hope to plant the
seed for during this New Moon
Candle – this depends from month to month depending
on which sign the New Moon falls in
Herbs/Oils- same applies for candles.
This New Moon falls in Airy Gemini. The role
of Gemini is It’s all about fast talk, travel, movement and thought. It’s
not gratuitous; for Gemini it’s about learning about the world around us, and
communication of all kinds is the preferred medium in this.
For this New Moon, I would advise choosing a yellow
or green candle. Since these are the colors of the ruler of Gemini
(Mercury) you would want to stimulate that energy. It’s all about fast talk,
travel, movement and thought.
This New Moon is grand for starting new studies,
writing, learning a new language, travel and oddly enough, creating a healthy
relationship and dialog with a sibling.
For your candle magicks, the herbs I would choose
is Lavender, Parsley, Anise and Dill; these are all herbs that deal with the 7th
chakra of thought and receiving messages from the heavens, and of the 3rd
chakra, of creativity.
Please note that this is happening during the
shadow phase of the Mercury Retrograde, so please make sure to make your
intentions as clear as possible. Write it down. This is not a time to get
cloudy about what you want to happen.
Once you have your candle, hold it in your hand and
think about what you would like to plant the seeds for during this New Moon,
and what you would like to manifest. Get your herbs/oils, rub it on the candle.
If you don’t have any essential oils, use olive oil on the candle, and maybe
add a touch of honey to the mix, to add sweetness to the fire you are looking
to start in your heart and your life. I tend to use dried herbs on my
candles. I would make sure to get a shorter candle to burn, since it needs to
burn to its completion for it to truly be potent. If you are worried about
burning your house down, put the candle in your kitchen sink. That should keep
it safe enough.
That’s easy enough.
In general, for New Moons, I like to make sure to
get some cinnamon sticks to burn. They burn very slow, with little to no flame.
It’s more of a gesture. Cinnamon is great for drawing in love, passion,
protection and money. It’s an herb associated with fire, so it’s great to give
a boost to any project.
I like to make sure I put a little rose oil essence
and peppermint oil in my shower gel. Peppermint is great for protection and
prosperity, while rose oil is a must; after all how can you manifest anything
if your heart is not open? Rose oil will help you with that, as well as helping
you create with love, and attracting love into your efforts. The first few days
of a New Moon is especially potent, so use these days to shower with the magic
concoction.
Have fun manifesting.
