Creativity is the love language of the archetype of the day. She’s the poet in the garden, in conversation with flowers, and the lover of art at the gallery, sipping on wine and inspiration from paintings and people. Commitment isn’t their strength, but thinking outside the box is. Today is a new moon in Gemini, and the power of the opposites – the tension between seriousness and fun, restlessness and a deep need to connect – is on the table. 

What’s for this new moon dinner, you ask? It’s a plate of communication on a bed of wittiness, sprinkled with fresh ideas, and a side of innovation in freedom sauce. 

The mind of Gemini is inquiring, investigative, and fascinated with the world. This lunar cycle begins with the invitation to ask, to explore, to cultivate curiosity, and to move around with your mind open, ready for existence to share its insights. 

With Gemini we receive the world as art, we look around us and allow the sights to spark our interest, we teach ourselves to listen so that we can learn, we tap into the dynamic energy of life itself as we breathe in the pulse of the world, and breathe out into its ever changing nature. The Gemini archetype might get bored easily, and it shows us how to keep moving, how to keep looking, how to keep renewing our relationship with ourselves, and with life. 

The new moon offers us an entryway into a new cycle, an opportunity to restart our engine, to reignite something we want to bring back to life, or to begin something completely new. Gemini is not a big fan of repetition. It’s the enthusiastic part of us, and it needs to be stimulated, generated, cultivated. It wants to be courted, it wants to be called upon, and it wants it done with style.

What do you feel excited about, interested in, stimulated by these days?

What parts of you feel dull, sleepy, or bored right now?

What do you need in order to bring more vitality to the places that feel low in energy?

Life is recursive, and some of us have a difficult time with this repetitive energy. Gemini is the energy of invention and innovation, and we can draw from our creative power and pour its liquid sparkles over the routines of the everyday. We can turn routine into ritual. The sacred spark is never far away. How do you awaken to the mythic within the mundane? 

Story and song roll on their tongue. Gemini is expressive and inventive, and it wants to tell us about all that goes through the mind and heart. They need to teach so that they can learn. They need to talk about it. They are the parts in us that must be heard, seen, and understood. This lunar cycle initiates the wordsmith, the language lover, the inner bard. Sharing what they know, what they think, what they feel, and where they want to go, is fulfilling for this zodiac persona. What is it that you want to share?

Do the words that you speak express the ways that you want to live your life? 

How do you communicate with yourself?

What’s your tone with people?

What do you want to say to the world? 

Gemini is a seeker. It’s the parts in us that are always searching, always on the move to find something more. It’s the discontentment that pushes us to keep going, and the dissatisfaction that can make us miserable. Gemini is the twins. Perhaps that’s why they sometimes feel like they are missing their other half, and are always on the search. Seeking, inquiring, and searching can keep us evolving, transforming, and continuing our process of becoming. And always feeling like we’re missing something can be hard on our system. Everything has two sides. There’s a gift and a problem to everything. There’s always a shadow and a light.

This is the archetype we can invoke when we need to remember that we are changeable, versatile, adaptable. Gemini is a mutable sign – it marks the last phase of a season, which shifts us toward the next. It reminds us that we can change our minds. Being an air sign, it is the presence of breath. We change as we breathe. With the element of air we can move in many different directions and look at things from many different perspectives.

Gemini invites you to turn toward that which inspires you, to come up with creative solutions to the problems you are facing, and to invent and reinvent yourself along the way. You are always in flex. 

And it wants us to remember that there’s always another side to the story, so keep asking questions, keep bringing in other perspectives, and keep the conversation moving.
