New Moon in Gemini Themes
We welcome this Gemini New Moon on May 26 at 11:01 PM EST. New Moons are always an opportunity to embrace a new beginning, and this time, the New Moon is highlighting our social lives as well as how we express ourselves. It asks us to be aware of both our inner and outer worlds, and how we move between them.
During this New Moon, you may feel called to:
Express yourself, exploring and sharing who you really are and what you believe in. This could be sharing more with others, but it could also mean expressing yourself through different activities. Maybe it’s journaling, painting, dancing, etc. Whatever is enjoyable and helps you honor yourself!
Shift your perspective or change your mind, and this may be a significant shift. Maybe new information comes your way, or you suddenly see things from a new angle. Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to explore it, because it is okay to change your mind!
Speak something you’ve been meaning to say for a long time. This could be something specific you need to say to someone else or a truth you need to share more broadly.
Change or make adjustments within your social life. If you find you want to get out and meet more people, embrace this! Listen to any nudges you might be receiving around expanding your social circle or adjusting who is in your circle.
Examine what you’re spending your mental energy on. This is a good time to shift your mental focus if you find yourself spiraling or going down rabbit holes that don’t align with where you ultimately want to go.
Overall, this is a good time to consider whether your inner, Spiritual world is aligning with your outer, Physical world. Is there any imbalance here? Is there an opportunity to create greater harmony between the two?
If there’s words on your heart that you haven’t said aloud or if there are old views or thoughts you want to shift, now may be a good time for you to step up or make changes. Even if it isn’t right now, you can take the first steps to get you there.

The Message
Your Soul Journaling Ritual for the New Moon in Taurus
Before sitting down to journal, set up a nice, cozy space. In addition to your favorite journaling materials, you could light a candle, diffuse essential oils, set out your favorite crystals, and display the Tarot cards you might want to work with for this New Moon. You could also bring out an Oracle deck.
For Tarot, here’s what I suggest having nearby or on your altar this New Moon:
The Hermit (Card for 2025, which reminds us of the importance of going within and letting our inner wisdom guide us.)
The Moon (Secondary card for 2025, which reminds us of the importance of deep, honest reflection so we can see ourselves clearly.)
The Lovers (The Tarot card associated with Gemini which reminds us that love is powerful and to love all parts of ourselves as much as we love others. A post about Gemini & The Lovers, if you’re a subscriber, is coming to your inbox early next week!)
Your Tarot card(s) of the year (If you don’t know what it is yet, discover it here.)
Once you’ve gathered the materials you’d like, settle in to do the Soul Journaling Session, which includes a visualization and a Soul Prompt. The prompt is written as a direct question to your Soul, and this is the prompt we use for every New Moon. You can choose to journal a response or even pull your own Tarot/Oracle card for the prompt and journal on that message.
The recording of me leading you through this is below, and if you prefer to follow along on your own with a written out version, you can access that here.
The question for your Soul on the New Moon is:
Soul, where are you leading me this New Moon? What intention would you like for me to set for this new cycle?

Feel free to play sound healing or comforting music in the background while you journal. I’ve included a track created by my husband below.
Where in my life am I feeling called to learn more or to take in new perspectives?
What shifts would I like to make in regards to my friendships or social life? Where am I feeling called to edit or expand?
What greater story or truth do I feel inspired to communicate or share at this time?
How would I like to express myself and/or my truth under this New Moon?
Share with the Circle
While this is a solo practice, I would love to treat this digital space like a virtual Moon Circle. I invite you to head into the comments and share your intentions for this New Moon, as well as any big insights or feelings coming up for you.

I intend to communicate with kindness, clarity, and confidence. In regards to friendships, this area of life has always been difficult for me and it holds a lot of pain points. So, in regards to my social life, I am releasing any resentments, past hurts, and lingering fears so that I can open my heart to socializing and forming new friendships💖
Thank you, Marcy! Beautiful practice. I love the tinkling windchimes in the background.
I have been attending a big astrology conference the last 4 days so am pretty saturated, but I did the first prompt and was happy with what came through.
Nothing gigantic to tackle this cycle - whew 😅
