New Moon in Gemini 6/6/24
The current planetary changes and conjunctions, combined with the increasing light towards the solstice, are generating a powerful energy of renewal and heightened frequencies. It feels like everything is flowing freely. Soon, the sun will amplify these frequencies even more. You might notice that everything gains momentum, bringing sudden new insights. Suppressed emotions and thoughts may rise to the surface with greater intensity. And once something has fulfilled its purpose, it might suddenly vanish, making way for new beginnings.
Embrace this magical energy and harness the superpower of your thoughts to create your most beautiful life and a loving world—for yourself, for others, for every animal, and for Mother Earth. Instead of being paralyzed by messages of fear and division, let your light and love shine in everything you do.
The June 2024 new moon marks a critical turning point in Venus’s cycle. It changes from the Morning Star to the Evening Star, which the ancients believed heralded a change from hate and war to love and peace.
New moons offer ripe energy for manifesting our dreams. The new moon in Gemini shines a spotlight on learning, communication skills, mental wellness, exciting adventures, and logic.
If you desire improved communication in writing, speaking, listening, and even embracing different opinions, wish for it under the Gemini new moon. Have you been dreaming of a short getaway? Put the energy out there to bring a mini-vacation into your life. It may just be what you need to reboot and recharge before expanding your mind by learning a new skill. Geminis love learning new things! It's an excellent opportunity to do that thing you've been thinking about doing for so long. Push procrastination and self-doubt aside. The twins that symbolize Gemini represent the duality of life — the light and dark, the masculine and feminine, the good and bad. These opposites exist within us as well as in the world around us. It presents us with the ability to be more versatile and open-minded.
When expanding your mind, focus on your ideas and perceptions about relationships with siblings, roommates, classmates, and neighbors. Wish for more ease and open communication within these relationships. Tone down nervousness and overthinking by wishing for a release of self-defeating tendencies and invitation to connect to the breath.
Gemini is associated with the lungs, breathing, and nervous system. So, take special care to become aware of these areas of the body, as well as our hands, arms, and shoulders, and wish for restored health.

Baño recipe for the New Moon
Ingredients:
Sea Salt, Epsom Salt, Sage, Copal resin
Blue lace agate, citrine, clear quartz crystals
Grapefruit and cedarwood essential oils
Lavender flowers
Yellow candle
Florida Water
Ritual:
1.Begin by cleansing your space with Sage. Allow the sacred herb's smoke to float around your space as you give thanks for its cleansing energy and healing properties. Don't forget to allow the smoke to float around you as well.
2. Burn some copal resin by lighting a charcoal tab and placing it on a flammable surface like a cauldron or rock. Allow the tab to become completely gray before sprinkling some copal resin. Give it a few seconds before it starts to smoke. As the smoke floats around your space, you can give thanks and ask for the copal to help you deepen your state of meditation. You can also invite your spirit guides as the copal is a beautiful offering to them.
3. Now that your space is ready, you can prepare your baño. Fill your bathtub with warm water and add one cup of sea salt and one cup of Epsom salt. Mix it in with your hands until it dissolves. Pray and set your intentions as you do so. Remember that water has memory and will hold your precious words, so speak kindly to yourself and create a loving vibe.
4. Next, add a few good handfuls of herbs, several drops of essential oils, and three to four splashes of Florida Water, and mix in with your hands.
5. Sprinkle lavender flowers all over the top of your baño. Not only will it look pretty, but it can send loving energy your way to uplift your spirit even before you submerge.
6. Finally, create a Gemini new moon altar by placing some lavender in a vase alongside your yellow candle and crystals. Strategically place your crystals around the vase and candle. Don't overthink it. Your soul will know exactly where they should go. Light your candle as you pray or set an intention for everything you wish for under the new moon.
7. Soak in the baño for 20 to 40 minutes. If possible, air dry afterward. If not, dry with a light-colored towel. Find a comfortable spot to meditate following your cleanse. Remember that the copal created space to go deeply inward and declutter the mind.
8. Sit in meditation for as little as five minutes. Then, write down everything you wish for under the Gemini new moon and place that list under your yellow candle. Rest easy and trust that the universe has your back.
