On May 26th at 11:02pm EDT, the Moon aligns with the Sun in 6 degrees of Gemini. I recommend you also watch my New Moon video on the subject.

Back to the New Moon:
One notable facet of this New Moon chart is the planetary line-up in Gemini, involving the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter!
With this much emphasis on Gemini, we are invited to pay attention to our minds, communications, and any information coming our way.
Gemini is the archetype of curiosity, communication in all its forms, and mental connections — it represents the development of language and intelligence, as well as our ability to adapt and relate to our immediate environment.
This is a “busy” energy focused on collecting information. It invites us to look at our mental programming and conditioned mind to see what new thought structures we might want to engage with.
Mercury (the ruler of Gemini) is closely aligned with the New Moon while in its own sign. The New Moon and Mercury in Gemini also trine Pluto in Aquarius. Let’s unpack that:
Mercury’s close alignment to the New Moon invites us to learn to better listen to ourselves and others, become more aware of our communications and exchanges, and see both sides of a situation.
Ask yourself: Where do I need to leave room for discussion when sharing my thoughts? If there were a handsome cash prize for listening twice as much as I speak, what would I do differently to win it? What if there were a bonus for listening with 5% more curiosity?
Our day-to-day mind (Mercury in Gemini) wants us to engage via email, text, phone, the internet, the news, chatting, connecting, and staying informed.
The New Moon and Mercury’s Trine to Pluto, conversely, helps us be…

Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of Gemini, Sagittarius, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly; this is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo, the Moon rules Cancer)
The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month’s Moon cycle; this is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact, and definitely not during a Moon void of course phase.
So, this month, any time between 11:02pm on May 26th and 9am on May 28th. Then there will be a 4.5 hour period on May 28th, during which the Moon will be void of course, from 9am until 1:33pm. It is best to avoid setting your Intention during that time.
And from 1:33pm until 11:02pm on May 28th, still a great time to set your Intentions during the most potent time. (and please note that I provide all times in the Eastern Daylight Timezone, i.e., New York City) ==> For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here
If you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), I recommend you join my Facebook Fan-page, follow me on Instagram, threads, or twitter/X, as I post reminders on May 26th, May 27th and May 28th to let you know when it is time to set your intentions.
Again, we also mentioned the close Saturn-Neptune alignment in our most recent webinar about “Saturn in Aries until 2028” — a great 90-minute exploration of this giant planet, and how all of us (but especially Capricorn, Aquarius, and Aries) will be affected by this transit ==> For more info, click here
