New Moon In Gemini Ritual

This new moon rises in Gemini, the zodiac sign of the Twins known for its sparkling communication, curiosity, and adaptability. As a fresh lunar cycle begins under Gemini’s witty influence, you may feel a surge of new ideas, social energy, and a desire to learn and connect.

Gemini’s dual nature reminds us that we all contain multitudes – think of the Owens sisters from Practical Magic. One side of you might be grounded and practical (like Sally), while the other is spontaneous and mystical (like Gillian). During this new moon, embrace both sides of your personality. It’s the perfect time to set intentions that satisfy your intellect and ignite your inner witchy intuition.

Our New Moon Ritual

Step 1: Clear the Air

Begin by creating an environment that feels fresh and open. Cleanse your space physically (tidy up clutter) and energetically – you might crack open a window or burn a little incense to let the vibes flow. Light the Sally • Magic Greenhouse Candle to infuse the room with a calming, herbaceous aroma. Notes of eucalyptus and lavender will help clear the air and soothe your mind, like a gentle breeze wafting through a magical greenhouse. Take a few deep breaths as you do this, and imagine any stagnant energy being carried away, leaving your space charged with positivity and clarity.

Step 2: Set Your Intentions

Now that your space is cleansed and your mind is clear, grab your favorite journal or a piece of paper. Gemini is all about communication, so write down your intentions for this lunar cycle in detail. Focus on areas ruled by Gemini energy: perhaps you want to improve your communication skills, start a learning project, spark new ideas, or reconnect with friends and community. Be specific and let your curiosity guide you – no idea is too whimsical or too ambitious at this stage.

When you’ve written out your wishes, read them aloud. Speaking your intentions gives them life (after all, words are a form of magic). As you declare your goals to the universe, envision your words floating into the air like enchanted notes, carried on the Gemini breeze. This simple act of voice and breath makes your desires feel real and sets them in motion.

Step 3: Ignite Your Intentions

With your intentions set, it’s time to amplify that energy. Light the Gillian • Book of Shadows Candle, and let its warm, spicy fragrance wrap around you. Notes of patchouli, jasmine, and amber create a mystical atmosphere, as if you’ve opened an old spellbook filled with secret wisdom. Sit comfortably by the candlelight and visualize your intentions manifesting. See yourself learning that new skill, having that important conversation, or embracing the exciting opportunity you wrote down. Allow the candle’s flame to represent your goals – burning steady and bright.

If you have crystals or mementos, you can place them and your written intention list beside the candle to charge. Spend a few minutes in this visualization, feeling grateful and excited for the changes you are welcoming. When you’re ready, gently close your ritual by thanking the universe (and yourself) for this moment of magic. Don’t forget to ground yourself afterward – maybe enjoy a cup of tea or do some gentle stretching. Gemini’s mental energy can leave you buzzing, so it’s good to wind down. And remember, a good night’s sleep after a new moon ritual helps all those intentions settle in.
