For those who have the astrological sign of Gemini either as their sun, moon, rising, or a combo of those within their natal chart, the energies that launched with the new Moon that occurred on June 3rd will will have far reaching effects that span throughout the remainder of the year. Now this is not to say that other signs won't be affected but Gemini's will definitely affected most. I have a Gemini rising sign. For those who don't know what all that means. My rising sign is how I present to the world or how others see me, my moon sign is how I respond emotionally to the world and my sun sign is who I am.
That being said the energies that I'm talking about have to do with those associated with the Gemini, which is ruled by the planet Mercury, and relates to all things that have to do with well... relating. Communicating through speech, the written word, emails, relationship dynamics, and all things that have to do with travel, transportation and that bring you from point A to point B -- i.e. closer together.
Chances to manifest your soul mate, twin flame, a new relationship, a newer way of relating to your existing relationships are high right now. Gemini energies are all about duality, light and dark, bitter and sweet, the earthly and the non-physical realms and on the mental plane, your conscious (the thinking processes your are aware of ) and subconscious mind (the hidden side of your mind or shadow side). But Gemini brings enough light-heartedness to the party to offer a positive spin to even the deepest, darkest revelations. So if you do decide to do shadow work, (in other words dealing with the parts of yourself you fear or emotions that are heavy) now is a good time to do so.
What the new moon brings to the Gemini energy is a chance to set new intentions in our life. This could be about anything, but it is a particularly auspicious time set the intention to finally write that novel, heal a broken relationship, start a new one or fortify an existing one. It's a wonderful time to make travel plans, set an intention to finish that list of books you've been meaning to read, flourish on social media platforms or start a new social media presence (like I plan to do :-)), create new art, vision boards, or anything else that involves communication or expression.
So today has me reflecting on my creative goals, many of which involve communication. On June 3rd, I had my own new moon ritual around my intentions for what I want to create into my life. My new intentions actually started about a week before when I retook a test found in an old standby textbook I used for manifestation work called "The Passion Test". "The Passion Test" by Chris Attwood and Janet Bray Attwood is a book I've mentioned in this blog before. I've manifested so much with this book, and have been recently retaking the test at least once per year. They recommend you take the test once every 6 months. I plan on retaking it again in January 2020. According to the test you choose five passions.
My passions involve pursuing my creative outlets such as music, becoming a social media presence for healing and creativity, traveling, and relationship goals. It seems tailor made for the new moon in Gemini vibes. Curiously one hour before I even began the ritual, a musician and composer that I know called me to ask if I wanted to start singing his original material again. I was so excited that it seemed that the ritual was starting itself based off of my intentions and universal manifestation before I even lit a candle. That same week four people said they would subscribe to my social media outlet on Facebook and on this blog for That Healing Girl. I felt so inspired that I have begun to establish a plan for launching a social media presence. This past weekend I spent an awesome time with my partner and his friends just having fun and doing the thing that Gemini's do best - talking and laughing. I have a really good feeling about how this will all turn out for me based on my positive intentions in tandem with working with the universal energies available to me around this new moon to provide that extra punch to help me make things happen! I must say that things have really felt magical for me this week.
For those curious about the ritual I did, I simply used my intuition. I am a crystal healer and enthusiast, and so I selected crystals that vibrate with the frequency of communication and colors that correspond to the sign of Gemini and the planet Mercury and the moon, lots of blue and white. I took a bath to cleanse my energies with two cups of sea salt, and a few drops of lemon essential oil (really helpful to cleanse your aura so that you can have a fresh space to manifest from). I used the ideas in this new moon intention ritual as a guideline:

I also used this meditation off Youtube instead of the the one at foreverconscious.com.

Of course as with anything else follow your own intuition and only use what feels right to you. Your ritual could be as simple as lighting a white candle, writing down your intentions on a piece of paper and either burning the paper to release the intentions or folding the paper and placing it under the candle holder as the candle burns down throughout the day. Sidenote: Please don't leave a candle unattended or blow out a candle. Use a snuffer or put out the flame between two moistened fingers so as not to burn yourself. When all is said and done, holding the intention that what you want is on it's way to you and then releasing that intention to the universe or whoever you pray to is all that is needed. If you don't want to use a candle you can write down you intentions on a piece of paper, meditate on them and seem them happening in your minds eye as you hold the paper and then place that paper under a crystal or in your wallet or pocket and take it out each day and remember your intentions. As you can see there are countless ways to do this. I like to meditation with crystals while my ritual candles are burning. The picture above is my actual alter and the candles and crystals I used in my ritual. I even practiced yoga before my cleansing bath to calm my busy mind so that I could fully focus on what I wanted to bring into my world.
