When the moon disappears into the sky each month, she offers us a quiet threshold. A pause, and a chance to start again — gently, but with intention.

This New Moon unfolds in the sign of the eternal student Gemini: ruler of words, wonder, and the ever-curious mind. Accordingly, it evokes a mini portal for reflection, conversations, and the quiet magic of trying on new perspectives. It reminds us that we each have the opportunity to break patterns and become completely new people, from moment to moment.

With this moon we’re invited to speak our intentions, to write them down, and identify the dreams we’re ready to chase (or change). Supported by a web of harmonious trines and sextiles, this window will feel particularly gentle. There’s a sense of ease to this lunation (that will trickle through the month); a much needed softness, and sense of flow. Think: expansion that doesn’t overwhelm, and clarity that arrives without being forced. The winds are working with us, not against us, and though the universe is always conspiring in our favour… that can feel particularly present right now, if we choose to notice.

Below are soul affirmations for each zodiac sign — soul-notes to anchor you in the moment and you through this new lunar cycle. We recommend reading your Sun, Moon and Rising signs!

I loosen my grip on what I know, and let my horizons widen. My strength is not in certainty, but in the courage to see anew.

I come home to my body with reverence. Whether in stillness or in motion, I honour its wisdom, its rhythm, and my quiet strength.

I sift through the noise to find what’s real for me. My truth isn’t in the external — it’s the quiet and steady pulse I carry with me, always.

I’m cradled by something greater, soft and unseen. I soften into the flow of the universe, trusting it to hold what I no longer need to carry.

I shine not for myself alone, but for the world I’m a part of. My light effortlessly touches those around me when I fill up my own cup, and it’s from here that I create.

I trust the process, and find magic in the details. I remember there’s no such thing as mistakes, only lessons learned: each and every step is a sacred act.

I step into new horizons with an open heart, trusting I’ll be led to beauty. The world is wide, and I’m ready to explore its endless possibilities. Balance lives within me.

I honour the depths, where shadows meet light. In life’s challenges, I find my strength — rising from the obstacles, transformed and unbroken.

I embrace the richness of connection, seeking to understand and be understood. In every relationship, I find growth, and through openness, I discover new and exciting worlds.

I welcome change as a doorway to new forms of expression. I allow myself to play, to be free, and to explore the lighter sides of life — trusting that joy is part of my journey.

I honour my emotions as a guide, not a burden. In their depth, I find strength, allowing them to shape my visions and deepen my connection to the world, as I dance through it.

I embrace the flow of new experiences with curiosity as my compass. Each new lesson is a wave to ride, expanding my heart. I evolve with each discovery, all the while knowing that I am safe.
