Moon Miniscopes
Open Minds Open Doors.
The New Moon falls at 6º Gemini, 11:02 PM ET on May 26th.
With a gust of wind, the doors are swung open wide —waiting for you to walk through. This is exactly what the New Moon in Gemini is inviting in. This New Moon is one where we seek clarity of mind and space. The Gemini energy surrounding this lunation shows us that words hold power, and with that, we can speak our realities into existence. Like the Magician, we create our futures by integrating and amalgamating into our lives everything we have learned up to this moment. We float on the exhale of every word and wrap ourselves around our ideas, nurturing them as they take flight. Altogether, we rise higher and higher while maintaining control of our path.
Mercury is the leader of this New Moon, emphasizing the need to communicate, express, and speak: we can change everything with a single word. Mercury is active through its transits, empowered by Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto, while moving toward the Sun and Moon. We can’t lack conviction to speak openly with confidence, words matter and people are listening. Mercury invites us to open up, speaking with truth and honesty above all else.
The New Moon is supported by most of the outer planets. With many of them now transiting new signs, we are asked to do things differently than we have in the past. The Sun, Moon, Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto create a powerhouse of energy. Each planet is asking that we leave behind outdated mentalities and old practices — replacing them with something new. Breaking from the status quo will give us the perspective shift we need to make the changes we desire.
The New Moon is empowered by Jupiter, who now only has two weeks left in Gemini. Although the lunation and Jupiter do not connect in aspect, Jupiter will still support the seeds planted now. Venus and Mars are separating from a trine, bringing a softness to this New Moon. We embody our desires and values now. We can see that ease isn’t so bad, and perhaps that is how we overcome our obstacles. With so much Mutable energy at this lunation, we have to lean into the Gemini nature of flexibility and adaptability. We can be where we are needed instead of forcing ourselves where we don’t belong.
If you feel overwhelmed, take a minute to breathe and feel yourself lifting up as the air fills your lungs. Just don’t lose sight of the ground.
If you have any personal planets in your chart at 1º to 11º, you will feel the effects of this New Moon the most. Especially those with strong Mutable placements. So, let’s break this down by sign! Always read Sun, Moon, and Rising.
ARIES TO CANCER
Aries & Aries Rising
This New Moon will fall in your 3rd House, asking you to use your voice and speak up. This is about walking away from overthinking. You deserve to say what is on your mind as much as anyone else.
This New Moon can have you reaching a culmination on a writing project or looking to connect with friends, siblings, and those you are closer with. You are learning through interactions and taking time to siphon through information and what other people are saying to you. What is for you and what isn’t? You are being asked to be adaptable, but there is still something about owning your own truth. You may be asked to have a conversation that feels more difficult. If so, finding the words will be much easier for you. Additionally, this is a great New Moon for recognizing how you have been changing your perspective. Growth comes through learning and integrating. The people that you have around you are showing you possibilities. They are teaching you how to see things in a new way.
But most importantly, they are showing you that your voice matters. Your words hold power. So say what you need to say — within reason.
Venus moving through your 1st House can be exciting. Even in the shadowy moments, there are places of ease, pleasure, and genuine self-love being brought to light. Venus is gifting you magnetism and touches of attraction. It is allowing you to move away from some of the sticky feelings the Venus retrograde may have broughtu p. As Venus works well with Mars, there may be some exciting news that comes up with a relationship, collaboration, or close person in your life. As You may be exploring what bings you joy. What stands in the way of your access to and creation of happiness? Venus and Mars invite you to play, play, play! Your child self is calling. Are you answering?
Use this New Moon to find power in your voice. Get in touch with those around you and share what is on your mind. Write things down and find ways to deal with the busy life you are surrounded by. Try to quiet those voices in your head that hold you back and seek help for any anxiety you may be taking on or holding. Perspective is everything. You need to see things a little differently in order to get ahead.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
Taurus, now is the time to flex your skills and stand your ground. This New Moon is perfectly placed in your 2nd House! This will have your mind on income, self-worth, and value. You can work to get yourself in a good position. But be your own advocate.
This New Moon can bring up conversations or thoughts about resources and finances. Keep in mind that resources aren’t always tied to material goods — this can be your emotional, mental, intanigble resources. If you work for yourself, you could see an influx of clients or resources — but also higher expenses. This lunation is a good one for releasing self-doubt. It is what will stand in the way of your personal potential. You know your talents and your strengths. Use them to your advantage and show people what you are worth. Alternatively, there may be reflections on security coming up for you, too. It may not be so much about what you are earning, but what you own — and how that relates to your perception of your own value. Thus, a light is being shone on what you deserve and how you can treat yourself better. Sometimes, we forget that we do deserve to build security, outside of material security, for ourselves. That in order to actually feel grounded or connected, we have to accept ourselves for who we are.
Venus is finishing its time in your 12th House, perhaps bringing up your need to retreat. You will find a lot of pleasure in doing less and keeping things intimate where possible. Venus will reach out to Mars, adding incredible harmony between these planets. You may find that you are craving privacy and time with family (chosen or given). Home may be a place that feels joyous in some ways. As Saturn is engaged in a sextile to Mercury, there may be an element of getting more realistic and focused on anything you have going on in your life. As Mars travels your 4th House, seek peace, safety, privacy, and intimacy as a form of protection. Mars could also bring up support in your pursuit for anything involving real estate, family matters, or property.
Use this New Moon to get a handle on your resources, material and otherwise. Figure out how to spend your energy — and on what. See what potential opportunities arise around money and try to network with people to see if newer clients or work can come up. Comb through the things you own and purge what isn’t good for you anymore. Get your finances in order. But above all else, focus on how to call back your power, your self-worth and your potential. You have to let go of what stands in the way of you seeing your true value. You are worthy.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
Gemini, there is a New Moon in your sign! Think back to what you started around June 6th last year and how different you are now. Maybe something is culminating from that time — maybe the pieces are coming together!
This New Moon will highlight your needs, desires, motivations, and goals. When was the last time you asked yourself what you wanted? Like, what you really wanted? The theme seems to be allowing yourself to shine and stand in your own strength. You can be recognized for who you are and what you seek to create. The 1st house is about identity, and with a New Moon here, you may be shedding some skin. You can let go of who you were — in order to make room for who you truly are. This is being unapologetically yourself. Now you are the alchemist. You call the shots. You make the choices. You care deeply about others, and you understand the impacts of your own actions, but sometimes we don’t realize how limiting it can be to ONLY focus on others. If abundance is plural and we choose not to grow — then you may be inhibiting the growth of someone else. This is about you bringing to an end some of the outdated narratives you have written or believe about yourself. This is about changing how you see yourself enough to love yourself a little more. Self-respect.
Venus is sitting in your 11th House — people are showing up for you. You could be in a more vulnerable position where you are needing help, and now you will have it. Venus will reach out to Mars. So, it seems that relationships and connections could prove to be abundant. Alternatively, there is a sense of local community being a foundation for you. In addition, dialogue, communication, and your ideas are all well-positioned. You could be on fire creatively and really find harmony in the smaller day-to-day. If you have the chance to take a short-distance trip, see some friends, or even just connect with people you love, do it! Venus will ensure you will have a good time!
Use this New Moon to focus on what you want out of life. See what brings your joy, passion, and happiness. Seek out desires and don’t be afraid to make your needs known. Work on creating more balance in your life and enacting your boundaries. It is important. Instead of carrying the burdens, seek help. You have to release what no longer serves you now — whether that be a person, idea or something else. You are in the spotlight.
Cancer & cancer Rising
You are being pulled into a need for rest and relaxation. You have been going nonstop for quite some time, and now you’re being asked to slow things down. This New Moon falls in your 12th House. There are important endings afoot now.
If you are working on a project, you are not quite ready to leap or expose what you’ve been doing, but you see the finish line. You are changing how you approach your spirituality, and your intuition – but also changing how you can let go and find resolution. We may not always have control in our lives over what’s happening, but we can control our reactions and steer things to the outcome we seek. This lunation can mark of a significant ending. It may be the end of a job, a partnership, a habit, or action. But it has made room for something greater. Endings aren’t scary. They are necessary. Right now, you should take time to comb through what you can let go of — so that you don’t take that energy with you into the next phase. That means time to process your emotions.
Interestingly, Venus is finishing its time in your 10th House. So you could be making important connections on the workfront. You may feel like tasks are looming. However, in general, work feels more light, easy, or there is a sense of being valued. Venus traveling through the most public area of your chart can bring up questions around how you are seen. You can clarify how you decide to show up in the world. Venus receives positive aspects from Mars, which can cause an insightful conversation to arise around self-worth, value, resources, and ownership. Some of you could see a person come through for you or go out to bat for you. This could also add some positive financial news to your life. You may also be in a place where you are managing your resources differently. You could be getting wiser and more intentional about how you use what is available to you.
Use this New Moon to really bring yourself in. Take time to reflect, rest, and create your own peace. Don’t let anyone or anything take that away from you. Focus on what you can receive and what you can release. This lunation is potent for you — finally closing a door, even if it isn’t easy. Some decisions aren’t to be made lightly, but you know in your heart what the outcomes will be. Take care of yourself.
LEO TO SCORPIO
Leo & Leo Rising
I know you don’t always like to ask for help, but this New Moon will have people showing up for you left and right! The amount of support you have is uncanny. You are making new friendships and maybe saying goodbye to old ones that aren’t as solid as they used to be.
Take a look at your connections, friendships, network, and even your dreams. Where are you siphoning off your energy, and what is taking up too much space? Are you leaving room for new opportunities, new people, or new ideas? This lunation will bring you back to your dreams, perhaps reigniting a spark. You can make powerful connections with others that push you closer to what you really want out of life. Your mind seems to be on the future and where you are headed overall. If things don’t align with your vision, you don’t have to hold onto them. You can walk away from it. Consider ways you can build a new future with others — and not alone. Community is your backbone. Who do you look to? Where does your community lie?
Venus will be in a fellow Fire sign, harmonizing well with Mars in your sign. Venus is asking that you remain open and engaged with the world around you. Venus is in your 9th House, and it calls on visible possibilities and doors to open. You may have to take a little risk, but it will be worth the reward in the end! Good news can come now. This could be related to a speaking or writing matter, or it could just be inspiration coming out of nowhere for you! Whatever it is, you are excited and your mind is buzzing. With Mars so present, show the maturity and wisdom you have gained in the last 6 months. Your values have evolved, and with that, you have as well. You are embodying what you believe and who you are more than you have in a long time.
Use this New Moon to call upon your friends and community. Seek help and ask for it when you need it. People will show up for you. Don’t falter in the face of fear or allow anyone to undermine you. Take control of your future and go in the direction of your dreams. Focus on what really matters to you. You create the outcome.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
You have been working hard lately. This New Moon in your 10th House is asking you to reframe your thoughts around your direction in life, your career, and what you want in the end from all of it. This New Moon will have your mind on work and your goals.
With a lunation at the top of your chart, the Moon will be a force here, having you focus your attention on how you show up in th world and your practical goals. You know that you want to do something different in this area of your life. Is it a new job? A promotion? A complete 180º? Whatever it is, the lunation will bring it to the forefront of your mind. Some of you may move up or change roles, while some may quit, retire, or lose a job. Others may feel a general pressure at work, and it can be the catalyst for something new coming later on. Now is time to see where you can lean into more work/life balance. In general, you are reaching a sort of pinnacle for yourself. Responsibility is likely.
Venus is moving through your 8th House, and reaches out to Mars. This effectively creates a Fire trine, harmonizing the softer parts of your chart. You may find yourself seeking refuge and rest now. The concept of “closure” feels incredibly important. Are you seeking it and with whom? Venus’s transit through a hidden part of your chart may bring up unresolved feelings or highlight what in your heart needs to be held closer. Nothing gold can stay, but while you have it, it can shine brilliantly. Find pleasure in the quiet moments you have right now. Mars in your 12th House is pushing you find resolution to parts of your life that feel pending or unfinished.
Use this New Moon to build a bridge for yourself. Focus on your next steps and your direction in life. Allow yourself to shine at work regardless of what others may say. If a job isn’t a good fit, then start looking around for something else. Work with your roots and nourish your foundations. Dismantle the tensions that may arise. Create boundaries with anyone that tries to overstep. This is a pivotal New Moon for you. Really give yourself space to go after what you want.
Libra & Libra Rising
This is not a time to compromise what makes you feel alive. You have worked hard to give yourself more freedom. Now you are asked to rewrite the narratives you had once written in your head. The perception of what is possible may be limited by what you are seeing, and not fully enveloped in what you are believing.
This New Moon will teach you the value of growth. But growth isn’t always simple. Your 9th House will be shining bright, and this turns your focus to finding new pathways and reaching goals. You may be seeking new adventures and itching to see what lies just beyond the horizon for you. In some ways, you know that change is coming. You can use this New Moon to also bring your attention to the skills you have gained and the new ones you will, or plan to learn. This is about applying your wisdom. If you are looking to go back to school, this lunation could bring opportunity. If you are simply trying to just expand your horizons in life and branch out, there is space for that, too! Really, the sky is sort of the limit for you — but it requires trust in yourself first.
Venus, your ruler, is finishing its time in your 7th House! With it reaching out joyfully to Mars, it seems that you may be invited places or have a surprise bit of information come up from a friend or loved one. Venus enjoys the 7th House, so certain relationships can be quite easy right now. It may be good to keep lines of communication open and remain receptive to those around you. You may want to spend time with friends or reach out to people you trust. With the more social areas of your chart being activated, you could just feel like you have a lot going on! The busyness can start to feel obligatory or like a burden if you aren’t careful. This is a good reminder to know your limits and manage your expectations. Travel opporutnities may arise, and you will find them more enjoyable than you may realize.
Use this New Moon to assess the big picture. Where could you use more adventure in your life? You could feel a push and pull to act immediately, give things some time to settle. You will see that you are on the brink of a new journey, one that allows you to take the lead. You can explore new perspectives, educate yourself and seek out more spontaneous experiences. Nothing is perfect, but you can enjoy every moment that is set out before you. No time is wasted when you truly are living.
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
It is time to rely on those you trust intimately. This New Moon is very healing for you and can bring you close to a partner or friend. Now is a time to share your resources, your fears, your desires, and your motivations. Your 8th House is being activated, so nothing is off-limits.
Who do you trust enough to let in? How can you make room to have that intimate reciprocity in your relationships? The 8th House is one that rarely sees light, but when we have a New Moon in this area, it asks for us to see what’s been hidden. You can make great strides in healing matters, releasing old wounds or past pains, or even in exploring your own sexuality and what brings you true pleasure. This is a very sensitive area of your chart, so you may need to navigate it delicately. In thinking about a close relationship, you have to trust that things are going your way and let go of any control you may feel. The deep connections you make with others are profound and genuinely healing. This area of your chart also rules money outside of income. Perhaps your partner is taking on a new job that boosts your spending/earning potential overall in the relationship. Or maybe, you receive some sort of loan or assistance. You could possibly even pay down a debt that has been looming over you. There is a call to get deep and reflect on your path up until this point. The 8th House points to cycles. What cycles are we perpetuating and which need to be rewritten?
Venus is still in your 6th House, so there is “work to do.” However, it feels more light, easy, or there is a general sense of being valued. Venus lessens tensions for you in the 6th House. It reaches out to Mars creating a trine, one of the most harmonious aspects. You are sort of ready for new growth opportunities or to get a move on from something that is no longer working for you. Venus will ask you to follow your values first and foremost. With Saturn at play with Mercury, you may also have to face some reality. In the process of living out your dreams or working on your aspirations, there are still details to manage and level-setting that may need to happen. Start small and let things grow from there.
Use this New Moon to break bad habits. Shine a light on the shadows in your life and face your fears. Open up about things more intimately with people you trust and allow others to support you more deeply. Reframe your financial picture and focus on ways to alleviate a scarcity mindset. Even as the material resources may ebb and flow, there will be plenty of opportunity for a fresh start. Reclaim your power. This is only the beginning.
SAGITTARIUS TO PISCES
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
There have been major shifts in your autonomy and identity — as well as your relationships and your boundaries. This lunation will highlight those changes more clearly for you. It will feel like turning a new leaf in many ways.
Life is about a give and take, oftentimes we may give more than we receive. This can create an imbalance, whether or not you realize it. So, take a minute and really reflect on the word “receptivity”. What does this mean to you? The New Moon brings awareness and energy to your 7th House. Here, a partnership, relationship, union, or important person is coming into strong focus. Now consider for some of you this is more business related than personal. You may be reckoning your boundaries and your space with this other person or entity. Have you been giving too much? Are things off-kilter? What needs to be addressed? This New Moon puts so much emphasis on others that you may need to step outside of yourself to see what is really happening. Perspective is going to be important. If you need guidance, seek the advice of someone you trust to give you what you need to hear. Now is the time to allow yourself to rely on someone for help. By cultivating strength in your partnerships, you build deeper trust and share the weight of responsibilities. Nothing should ever be one-sided.
Venus is still so sweetly positioned for you. It is in a fellow Fire sign, Aries. It sits in your 5th House, helping you find value in the realms of joy and pleasure. It is not always easy to know when or how to take a risk, but you really seem to have a lot of support — more than you realize. Venus reaches out to Mars creating immense harmony in your 5th and 9th Houses. You may find ease where it was lacking before. You are being pushed to be more bold and confident now. Don’t be bashful. Accept whatever comes your way. With Saturn working well with Mercury, you are getting grounded and committed to a long-term goal or idea. If you are publishing, writing, going to school/taking a course, working on a visa, or traveling, Mars will help you significantly.
Use this New Moon to focus on the others in your life. Figure out the dynamic and how you show up to your relationships — and how the other people show up for you, too. This is all about the two-way street. You could have to make decisions or find a conclusion. Create boundaries where necessary and allow for the right relationships to flourish for you. You are on the brink of so much change.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
Knowing your limits can be important. Over the last few weeks and even beyond, you have been tasked with closing doors, learning to be better to your body, and focusing on the things in your immediate environment. This season has been teaching you the value of your needs and knowing the difference between service/sacrifice. We can’t save everyone, or really anyone, other than ourselves.
The New Moon will be bright in your 6th House, where your health, daily routines and even work will come into play. You are being faced with ways to reschedule your life and create better rituals and regimens. If you have been dealing with health issues, this is not a time to sweep that under the rug. You will have to face the facts and get the answers you need. Some of you could be trying to get healthier or just find the balance between work and life. You will be busier than normal around this New Moon, so care for yourself. If people try to overstep your boundaries, you have the power to let them know. Your workplace will likely be going through changes — try not to internalize them or bite off more than you can chew. If you work for yourself (or don’t), consider how much you can realistically take on right now.
Venus still sits so nicely in your 4th House of family, home, sanctuary, and your emotional foundations. Right now, this area of your life is bringing you so much more fullness than it once had. It seems like things are coming together. You may be trying to grow your family, redecorating a bit, or even just finding peace in the quiet moments of your life. Venus will work well with Mars, so there may be financial compensation coming your way or an unexpected resource that supports you! Alternatively, Mars can have you getting more serious about your investments and how you connect with others on a deeper level. With the restful parts of your chart working well together, use this time for a vacation, respite, and slowing down where you can.
Use this New Moon to focus on your health and body. Take control of the details and mind the little things. Create better boundaries with work and cultivate a work/life balance. Seek a job change or shift in responsibilities if you are not happy with what you are doing. Find new clients if you work for yourself and implement a better way to be of service to your needs first.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
To see the power in change as a potential new beginning shifts our mindset. For you, this is about the shifts in your own perception of your happiness and reinstating more confidence into your life. You need to see how truly valuable you are. You create all you desire.
We see the New Moon in your 5th House, a place of creativity, conception, expression, love, and children. This is an area of joy and pleasure. So, what makes you happy? You could be reflecting on how to bring more fun into your life and opening yourself up to new adventures. You feel ready now. However, this means repairing the relationship you have with your self-image. Why shy away from the spotlight? You deserve space as much as anyone else. To allow yourself to be seen is to be proud of who you are. Don’t hide for the sake of someone else’s perceptions. Own every facet of your being. If you are looking to conceive an idea, a project, a child, or a relationship, let this New Moon help you. It takes a level of risk to make it happen, but what do you have to lose? Unapologetically own your creativity and find what fuels you. You have to share your passions and show love to those you care about. In doing this, you receive it back tenfold. You create your own happiness. You are becoming more aware of your ability to manifest your desires into reality.
Happily, Venus still sits in your 3rd House bringing up the more social side of your chart. You could feel especially chatty or inspired right now. As it reaches out to Mars, so close relationships step forward as the backbones of your success and your joy. Business relationships are fruitful, but romantic ones can be, too. There is a call to share more and find the balance in the give and take. With Mercury and Saturn supporting each other, this will point to a long-term commitment or agreement that can be made during this time. If you are presented with some options, take your time before deciding what you truly want or need. In general, get out and connect with people! Say yes to invitations and plans. Be more spontaneous!
Use this New Moon to play, create and get in touch with your inner child. Repair the relationship with your self-image and feel more confident in how you express yourself. Open your heart up and show people what you are made of. Take new risks and really put yourself out there. This is a time to be seen and take up room like you never have before. You are worthy of this.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
If you have been feeling a little withdrawn lately, that is ok. Go with it. It seems that there has been so much emphasis on your work, career, and life direction, that it may be time to come home and tend to yourself in some way. Rest is imperative. It is necessary. Have you been allowing yourself to slow down? This New Moon will bring a period for you to refocus your energy.
Your 4th House is being activated at this New Moon, where you see changes in your family and home. There can be dynamics that alter. Perhaps even a reconciliation of sorts. You could be confronted to deal with your past and find peace with your memories — even if they were hard. The 4th House is about emotional foundations, and it is from here that everything is built. Stabilizing this part of your life allows for the security you seek. Some of you may bring in new members of the family, change your living space or even update your decor. You are being asked to take control of this private part of your life. Home is where the heart is, and you have to ensure that your heart is safe and protected.
Venus is extremely well positioned at this lunation, which is important. It sits in your 2nd House, sending good energy to your resources. There is a feeling that the tides are slowly changing financially for you. Perhaps you come across a new avenue to create better security for yourself. Venus will receive beautiful beams from Mars. Take pride in what is going on work-wise. Especially so because this energy is creating long-term success. It will impact what you do at work or even your health/well-being. If you have been wanting to get more serious about being better to your body, then open those doors. If you have been committed to your health, you will start to see things pay off.
Use this New Moon to bring it all back home. Spend time with your family (given or chosen). Redecorate or reorganize your home. Prepare yourself for a move or a change in the home/family front. Focus on your emotional well-being and tend to places where you feel more vulnerable. Create stability in the quiet and make time for personal reflection. You can redefine your peace. Carve out space for you to process how you feel. Your foundations are changing.
