New moon cycles are often accompanied by uplifting motivational feelings that urge us to try something new and different. This particular new moon, falls in the sign of Gemini which represents our adaptability and duality. During this new moon phase we will find ourselves wrapping up most of the personal inner work that we delved into beginning in January. This process tends to make us more clearly aware of our thoughts because blockages have been moved to give light to new paths.
Take this opportunity and utilize the current energies to set new intentions as you become the best possible version of yourself. Be aware of your thoughts. Acknowledge those that prevent you from growing and moving forward then let them go. Remain open to new ways of thinking that will help you reach your full potential.
I came across a mantra from Tanaaz of, Forever Conscious, that you may find helpful as you create sacred space to set your new intentions:
"I cleanse my space, I Feel myself expand.
I cleanse my heart. I feel myself radiate and glow. I cleanse my mind, I feel light and free.
I cleanse all of me so I can begin again".
Tanaaz also suggests that you pose the following five prompts to yourself, freely writing down whatever comes to your mind.
1. The things that are blocking me the most right now
2. Things that I need to let go of
3. Things that are no longer working out for me
4. The story I keep telling myself
5. Things that drain my light
My clients have found that when they adapt these prompts to a tarot or oracle card spread, their intuition is clear and the insights they receive are profound. I added five more prompts to complete the spread.
1. Keys to a new path
2. What thoughts should I keep
3. What things are working out for me
4. Possible new outlooks and avenues
5. What things feed my inner light
Here is an example of how the spread may look; feel free to use all tarot cards or all oracle cards for your personal spread. Choose what feels right and most comfortable. Pictured below, I used tarot for the initial five prompts and oracle for the second set.

As you review the cards you pulled, make notes of any recurring themes, patterns of thought and situations that reveal themselves. Allow your intuition to transmit personal messages and interpretations of the cards. After you have completed reflecting on the prompts, form statements or mantras that will help you release what is required and claim new thought and behavior patterns.
I, personally, feel fulfilled when I am able to help other people, as well as myself.
How can we support ourselves and those close to us during this changeable period?
Here are a few star-guided insights:
As far as how this Gemini New Moon will directly effect our mutable sun sign friends; Gemini and Virgo folks should be prepared for people to notice them and call upon them. It is a great time for those born under those signs that want to expand their business, seek promotions, start a new venture, or increase their social media following. The Sagittarius people in our lives may experience sparks of romance that rekindle their current relationships or ignite new ones. They will be motivated to make each of their relationships work whether those be personal or professional. Let the Pisces folks in our lives know that, during this moon phase, they will most benefit from setting aside their worries and spending time relaxing at home with their pets and/or families, enjoying a quiet meal and sipping soothing teas.
Remember that you are divinely supported.
Breathe deeply, be proud of who you, spread kindness and smile more!
