What the Action-Oriented New Moon in Gemini Has in Store for Your Zodiac Sign
Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion, and Mars, the planet of motivation and drive, are both situated in headstrong Aries during the transit and are sending supportive energy to the new moon in Gemini. You may feel inspired to take action now on new projects you're considering. Before you dive in, though, consider the ruler of this new moon: Mercury is Gemini’s ruling planet, and it is retrograde in Taurus, forming a tense conversation with Saturn, the planet of restriction. So while the influence of Jupiter and Mars may lead us to feel a surge of energy during the new moon in Gemini and be more than eager to green-light our ideas and whims, Mercury and Saturn ask us to slow down and think practically.
During the new moon in Gemini, you may feel inspired to take action now on new projects you're considering.
A productive use of these conflicting energies is to tap into the excitement of the lunation by creating a plan. The full moon in Gemini may not serve as the best opportunity to execute on plans full-steam ahead, but you can take small steps in the right direction with a thoughtful roadmap.
Mercury will also form a sweet angle toward healing Neptune, which will inspire creative solutions and remind us to be gentle with ourselves. And since, again, this new moon is ruled by Mercury retrograde, you can track which conversations and themes are coming back up for a redo. Think back to April 26, the last time Mercury was at this exact position in the sky. Scroll through your texts or photos on your phone to track what and who was capturing your attention that day. This new moon in Gemini is a chance for revision—a fresh perspective and new layer of information.
Read on for your rising, sun, and moon signs for a deeper understanding of how this new moon will impact your birth chart. Then, get a bespoke self-care tip to make the most of the energy.

Cancer
Inviting in more stillness will bring massive rewards. The new moon in Gemini opens up your 12th house of closure and solitude. You may feel burnt out and exhausted from work.

This lunation reminds you that it is okay to not be okay, and asking for help is normal and important. Lean on those you love most.

Writing them out and naming them will allow you to approach them with a new perspective. The act of naming them will automatically eliminate some of the fear you associate with them.
Sagittarius
Things may be heating up romantically with someone serious. If you’re wondering if it’s time to commit, the stars are aligning in your favor to give this relationship a try.

Capricorn
You’ve got your daily routine down to a science, but even the world’s most successful people are open to a little revision now and again. The new moon in Gemini activates your sixth house of routines, work, and health. This is a powerful time to make big changes through little shifts and habits.

This is a cosmically aligned time to kick bad habits to the curb and manifest a fresh start, too.

Aquarius
Romance is on your mind. Lighting up your fifth house of sex, pleasure, and creativity, this new moon demands you integrate more fun into your life.

Your focus turns internal with this new moon in Gemini. You may be on socializing overload and be craving a little extra rest and solitude.

If you’re thinking about moving or finding new roommates, now is a great time to begin the process, as well.
