i'll have so much to tell you about it: horoscopes for the new moon in gemini
hallo sweet friendo,
welcome to the funky time of year.
(isn’t it all a funky time of year, though?)
today, at 3:43 pm EST,
the sun & the moon will join together
in the bb wind sign:
mercurial, mutable,
funky, fresh, free,
freaky, flaky:
gemini.
gemini is everyone.
gemini is no one.
gemini’s not there.
a wide-eyed leaver,
always going: gemini leads us from the abundance to the balm,
from the green to the elusive, to the end of the path, before the fall into summer: the prelude of darkness. (the approaching darkness doesn’t scan, there’s too much light)
(we can never keep the light)
gemini energy is not scattered, but technical.
this new moon is fairly un-aspected,
and will be fairly light.
let’s come out of the belly of neptune,
and have a nice day in the sun.
maybe too nice of a day in the sun?
it’s not foggy, but clear.
it’s almost the most emo time of year.
let’s take notes but not take them too seriously.
maybe just a note on a napkin,
that can be discovered in five years,
in a box at the end of the world,
or on the bedside table.
let’s use this new moon energy
to put out our feelers,
talk our faces off,
dig into every crevice of interest,
chat,
read,
and
fly!
***
what follows are horoscopes for each sign.
if you know your rising sign, please read for that.
& read your sun sign as well.
if you don’t know your rising sign, reading for your sun sign is totally fine.
there’ll be something there
(there’s something there in all of them)
there are meant to be nuggets to chew.
hopefully, there’s some bite.
and if you want a copy of moon missives: summer (emo season), please order here!

once upon a time,
it was very simple,
to ask a question,
make a choice,
go for it.
once upon a time,
you volunteered first for the trust fall,
and sent your crush a note without a thought,
started a blog,
put a song on the internet.
all of these things used to happen without a thought,
cause they were just for yr own tiny myth, yr own tiny island,
yr own tiny community.
this new moon flies you to that island.
you’ve been here all month, but you’ve been too caught up in the institution of it all
to fully enjoy the nectar.
you’ve forgotten that you have control,
or that you can still have (the nectar) while you’ve lost control.
as you enter a long period of experimenting with yr values and worth and yr growing self esteem, take this breezy moment to remember that it’s always nice to see yr sister, and yr (g)old friend, and to revisit yr favorite book. and no one needs to know.
no one needs to know but you. :)
taurus
let your personality shine, bb!
it’s TIME for TREATS.
yes, i know, this is not “news”
because it is ALWAYS treat time for you.
but now, it is especially treat time for you.
and i want to remind you that you DESERVE the treats, OK???
i know you are questioning literally everything about everything that you are who you need to be and how you feel and which face mask you should do and who you should spend time with and how you should spend that time…and what makes you feel good and what makes you feel bad, and sometimes you think this cycle never ends…
your self always continues.
even when your mind or your heart isn’t there.
this new moon is a moment to bask in yr worth,
and count every single blessing,
and even every single curse.
i might go as far as to encourage a frivolous purchase,
just don’t think about it too much first.
gemini
gemini, it’s yr time.
do you feel good?
i hope you’ve been showered with attention,
and i hope you've cared for yourself,
and cared for yr public image,
and nurtured yr reputation.
this new moon puts a spring in yr step,
and a boost to yr vitality.
do yourself a favor, and maybe DON’T give into a vice today.
take a walk instead,
or dig up an artifact of a previous version of you
(which is really the you you’ve always been and will always continue to be)
you’re gonna lead the parade into bittersweet summer,
so you better get a headpiece for it and take yr vitamins.
cancer
this new moon leads you into exile:
is it paradise or is it decay?
((this might be related or it might not be related, but i think it does the trick:
“back in new york
the streets are not you
I might bet getting older too
but I’ll never be as old as you”
-greta kline
…))
you’re at the beginning of a journey or the end of a journey,
or the same journey that you’ve always been on,
but there is something…well, let’s just say your life is about to begin,
or maybe it already began,
maybe it took too long to get there? or maybe it was just the right amount of time?
it’s such a surprise to realize that we can get what we need,
and be good to ourselves,
and somehow trust the universe.
give yrself over to the embrace of mama world,
because what else is there to do?
she’ll be loving and tough, like always.
send some missives to yr loves,
yr loves of all kinds,
you have many.
you are loved.
leo
here you are:
heading out to face the public and face yrself.
look behind you!
(everyone says “look ahead! look ahead! look ahead!”
yes, it’s a wonderful expanse,
yes it’s an infinite abyss,
yes, let’s drink to the future, but!)
remember that the past is you and the future is you and the present is what is being articulated about you right now in this moment. smile.
how did i get here? what I mean is look behind you because you’ll see your friends there. your allies. your community. your dreams. this moon is a chance to bask on that. it’s a chance to bask in the possibility that maybe you don’t have to do this alone. you don’t have to face the void without yr squad.
grab yr wish by the shoulders and look up together!
virgo
you have recently been given a huge opportunity,
to learn,
or get away.
far away.
maybe you finally put two and two together,
RE: the concept of your life.
this is going to be a theme for the next itch or so.
this moon will put you in a very vulnerable place:
the public eye.
it’s a breezy time to be there though.
use yr platform with serenity and grace,
maybe just enjoy a popsicle while you’re there?
amplify yr vision,
and remember: yr not alone! yr just taking yr turn.
libra
WOW.
okay.
breathe.
things have been a little less…heavy…yes?
not as angular?
or sharp?
the focus is on things more obtuse than you’re used to.
there is not a critical need to solve.
you feel wise.
did you just figure something out???
this new moon is a chance for you to tap into yr own easy breezy philosophies
Easy/Lucky/Free (& Wise)
maybe you just flew,
maybe you’re about to fly,
either way, enjoy this time.
it’s a dip into your well of knowledge.
when eclipse season kicks off in july,
you’ll have to make yr debut,
but for now,
THINK!!! and breathe!!!!
(<3)
scorpio
how do you share power?
how do you work together?
who is on your team?
who do you need in your life?
you spend a lot of time thinking about what people give to you.
it is harder for you to dwell on what you give them.
because you know what that is,
and you know it’s a lot.
but maybe you could give less,
and through that, give more
(to yourself)
this new moon takes you to the island of shared resources.
which could be a pleasure palace,
or it could be a prison.
depending on what you are willing to see.
take this time to listen,
and respond,
and keep yr treasure on yr own boat,
until you know yr gift
will be received
with grace.

sagittarius
ok, so.
for the past week or two,
you have been experiencing some confusion,
with yr committed partners,
yr collaborators in chief,
yr known frenemies.
maybe there have been some communication breakdowns,
maybe there has been a bump in the road,
maybe you have spun yourself a bit too deeply into fantasy.
this new moon brings you back to the center.
this new moon gives you a chance to look yr “other” (that one who completes you for better or worse) in the eye.
what do you see??
what can you complete together?
equally?
with forte?
with care?
it’s nice to be in a cocoon,
but it’s also nice to run.
capricorn
things are feeling less critical than usual for you,
but also very heavy.
(I mean, it’s hard to constantly hold up the world and the seasons in the palm of yr hands and someone has to do it and you wouldn’t dare brag about it)
this new moon will remind you
that you are also a caretaker.
a caretaker for yr boss,
a caretaker for yr family,
a caretaker for yr friends,
and a caretaker for yrself.
you’re GOING places! but you have to get yrself there first.
and this new moon will put you in the center of the grind.
whistle while you work i think they say?
you gotta get yr hands dirty
to make the pie.
you gotta leave yr shoes behind
to touch the sky.
aquarius
take yourself out
to yr #1 pleasure nest
have a stiff drink,
watch a sweet show
(one you actually enjoy)
and laughhhhh a hearty laugh
make a date and keep it and forget it
ghost on whoever and whatever you want
(but do it sweetly— you know what I mean.)
text constantly or lose yr phone
this new moon will take you to yr comfort zone,
yr harmonious home:
the joy of venus.
you won’t be able to stay here for long,
and there is money to be earned,
and there is a home to be made,
and a root to be evaluated,
and maybe a move to make,
but just take a bath for now.
you deserve the multitudes of bubbles
you deserve the water wrinkles on your skin
sometimes it is a real war when you are so committed to pleasure.
help us remember.
pisces
this new moon takes you home.
to your root.
to your underworld.
this new moon takes you to the gateway of rebirth.
being home is not as easy as it seems, or as hard.
it’s your place of origin,
and it’s your place to return to,
so make of it what you will.
you are entering a period of innovation in regards to communication.
you might find yourself out in the square (or on Facebook),
letting people know
what’s up,
what’s the cause,
what’s the buzz,
far more frequently than you previously have in your life.
or maybe just in a different way.
let your truest deepest darkest self,
inform the soul of this new troubadour.
no one can see you here, but you.
get your sun and eat it too.

that's all for today.
i love ya!
reminder if you want: moon missives: summer. order today :)
