Yogis Horiscope for New Moon in Gemini: The Power of Your Own Words: May 22, 2020: Reno, Nevada

My twin wants to eat cupcakes and get a facial. I’ve all but quit eating sugar, which helps boost my immune system, and I’m socially distancing so I’ve ditched any ideas of going to the spa. Reliance on sugary food and luxury facials to make me feel better about myself is fading, and with it a new layer of self confidence is building.

The sky on this new moon is not participating in our Earth’s call for social distancing. Not only is the sun and the moon meeting in Gemini, but also Venus, Mercury, and The North Node of destiny. Energetically this is extremely mystical, with great emphasis on friendship and communication. What’s required is a new take on these things. What’s demanded is a time of internal befriending. Not only to get clear on what you believe, but to take a visible stand in what inspires you by giving it voice. Put what you value on the line and out in the open.

It’s time to walk your talk and talk your walk.

Once upon a time, healthy lungs were something we took for granted. No more. Our breath, prana in yogic terms, is our life force. Exercise gratitude for each moment, take deep nourishing breaths as often as you can. More than you usually would. Open your lungs, which are the wings of your heart. There's power in every breath to give rise to your voice. Words carry the ability to change lives. Your breath is an expression of your deepest self, and it is a direct link to God.

We are emanating messages to the world all the time, verbally as well as energetically. A Gemini new moon supports your journey to consider how profound this is. Gemini, which governs communicaton, is ruled by Mercury, the messenger, which along with Venus, Pluto, Saturn, and Jupiter, is also in retrograde.

A note about retrograde, which usually gets a bad rap. It's not that planets are spinning backwards, it’s from our point of view it appears that way. Its an avidya , a blindness to the Truth, of sorts. Our point of view of just about everything is demanding second look and a new voice if we are to grow and prosper in this new moon. Start crafting your ideas into words and consider how you might refresh your overall image. Take out a pen and paper and write down three things you’d love to see happen by December 2020 when Gemini comes full circle into a full moon. “A dream written down becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action becomes a reality.”, says actor Jim Carrey.

Self empowerment is nothing with out self activation. Sitting on the couch eating cupcakes and dreaming about a body and a life of peak performance won’t cut it in this new moon.

New moons initiate change and opportunity to dial in your heart's desire. Don't rush this magic moment. Gemini will be in full moon in six months and now is the time to make steps towards where you'll want to be six minutes, six days, six months from now. There is a crazy amount of restraint during the pandemic. The sky’s the limit on your power to mentally move mountains.

The moon is our most local planet. When you’ve done crafting a six month plan for yourself, refresh your relationship in your community. Do what you can to be helpful. Honor local businesses that need support more than ever right now. Make every breath count to empower yourself and those around you.

Shine On. How you’re loving is how your living.
