When is the New Moon in Gemini?

The upcoming new Moon in the air sign of Gemini takes place on Monday, May 26th, at 8:03 pm Pacific time.

What the New Moon in Gemini Means

Gemini is often thought of as the sign of communication. Although this is true, Gemini’s energy goes beyond that. How we communicate is just the surface level of this sign. Gemini provides a window into our thought processes, beliefs, expectations, and overall mindset, which helps us understand why we see things a certain way.

The beauty of the upcoming new Moon in Gemini is that it helps you recognize just how much power your thoughts have in creating your reality. It arrives to shake up your perspective, open new pathways in your mind, and help you see possibilities you might have been blind to before.

The new Moon in Gemini is your chance to consciously choose which program you want running in your mental and energetic operating system. What do you want to manifest? What beliefs will support that manifestation? How can you frame your intentions to activate the highest possible vision for your life? Let yourself dream bigger than you normally would. Gemini energy expands your sense of what’s possible, so take full advantage of this expansive perspective.

Every intention you set is programming both your energy field and your brain to seek out evidence that matches your beliefs. When you believe something is possible for you, your mind begins searching for ways to make it happen. When you doubt yourself, your mind finds reasons why you can’t succeed.

This new Moon isn’t just about setting intentions—it’s about fundamentally shifting how you relate to your own potential. It’s about recognizing that the limits you’ve accepted are largely self-imposed, and that with a shift in perception, whole new worlds can open up to you.

Consider the new Moon in Gemini your invitation to question everything. What stories have you been telling yourself about who you are and what you can achieve? What mental limits have you accepted as truth? Gemini asks you to challenge these assumptions and open yourself to new ways of seeing your life and your potential.

Survey your life. Notice where you feel stuck or stagnant. Become aware of the challenges or adversities being presented to you. Also, notice what changes or shifts are asking for attention. Then look at how you are thinking about all of it. Ask yourself how you are perceiving your reality and if you need to shift that perception. We often can’t change what is happening around us, but we can change how we see it.

Ask yourself how your mindset is affecting your reality. How do you see things in your life and can you see them differently? Can you find the lessons inside the mistakes, the serendipity inside the disappointments, and the redirection in the rejections? Then ask yourself what mindsets you already hold that are directing how you experience your reality. What are your expectations of any given situation, and where do those expectations come from?

Some of these expectations may come from society or may have been taught to you while growing up. For instance, we’re often taught that stress is bad. When we experience stress, we then feel attacked and our body goes into flight-or-fight mode. We even worry that we have too much stress, causing more stress.

When we reframe stress and see it as mere pressure that helps us grow, we react differently to it. Our nervous system can settle in a stressful situation, and our mind searches for ways to evolve and learn. The stress is still present in our lives, but how we view it changes—and that shifts our entire system to make it a more pleasant, productive, and inspiring experience.

Make sure you’re creating an inner narrative that supports the life you want to manifest, not one that keeps you small or stuck. Although you can’t change your past experiences, you can absolutely shift how you perceive them. By changing your mindset about your past, you rewrite your inner narrative and release the limiting beliefs that hold you back. Take full control of the stories you tell yourself.

Other Astrological Influences on the New Moon in Gemini

The cosmic alignments supporting this new Moon in Gemini create a perfect storm of energetic support for your intentions. Each aspect works together to help you break through old limitations.

The new Moon conjunct Mercury in Gemini supercharges your ability to communicate with the universe. Mercury rules Gemini, so this conjunction in its home sign creates a double dose of clarity and mental sharpness. Your thoughts and words carry extra power, making this the ideal time to be precise about what you want to create. This aspect helps you articulate your desires with stunning clarity, both to yourself and the universe.

The trine with Pluto retrograde in Aquarius adds tremendous manifestation power to your intentions. Pluto represents transformation and the ability to completely reinvent yourself from the inside out. This harmonious trine creates a channel between your conscious intentions (the new Moon) and your power to completely revolutionize your life (Pluto). This aspect supports intentions that involve breaking free from limiting patterns and embracing your authentic power. Your ability to release what no longer serves you is heightened, making space for new beginnings that align with your highest vision.

The sextile between Neptune in Aries and the new Moon in Gemini infuses your intentions with inspired vision and spiritual alignment. Neptune connects you to your dreams and intuition whereas Aries adds courage and initiative. This combination helps you dream big while taking bold action. The sextile creates an opportunity to marry your spiritual wisdom with practical steps forward.

The new Moon sextile Saturn in Aries gives your intentions staying power and structural support. This combination helps you create intentions that aren’t just wishful thinking—they’re backed by your commitment to do the work necessary to manifest them. Saturn helps you build foundations that last whereas Aries ensures those structures support your authentic self-expression. This aspect supports intentions that require discipline and long-term focus, ensuring that what you begin now has the potential to create lasting change in your life.

Saturn conjunct Neptune in Aries is perhaps the most powerful aspect supporting this new Moon. The rare conjunction blends Saturn’s practicality with Neptune’s vision in the bold energy of Aries. This helps you bridge the gap between your highest dreams and practical reality. You can build structures (Saturn) that support your spiritual vision (Neptune) while boldly stepping into new territory (Aries). This aspect supports intentions that might have seemed impossible before. The combination of disciplined effort and inspired vision creates a way for miracles to enter your life.

Together, these aspects create a cosmic support system for any intention you set during this new Moon. The universe is literally aligning to help you shift your perspective, communicate your desires clearly, release what’s holding you back, envision new possibilities, and build lasting foundations for your dreams.

Your Invitation

Ruled by air and the planet Mercury, Gemini moves quickly. This can be highly beneficial for processing change when we are grounded and connected to our body. However, if this fast-paced energy is left unchecked, it can cause our mind to spin out of control and our anxiety to soar.

It’s important to steady your mind and provide an anchor for your energy. This grounding will allow you to fully utilize the power of Gemini to make decisions, integrate new information, and shift your perception. Connect with your body and breath to stay grounded in the present moment while adjusting your perspective to encompass a wider view. Consider practicing meditation and engaging in any other activities that help you feel grounded during this extra intense time.

This is the time to survey your life and ask what needs to be adjusted, then decide if those adjustments need to take place in your mind. Trust in your ability to create change through the power of your focus and belief. The universe responds to your expectations, so set them high during this powerful lunar reset. It’s also a time to find silver linings and unexpected results from life’s many challenges.

The new Moon in Gemini asks you to believe in more—more possibility, more abundance, more connection, more of everything. Trust yourself. Trust your vision. And most importantly, trust that you have the power to create it. This new Moon is your permission slip to believe in yourself again.
