There are some really ancient rituals that have been done for 1000s of years. A lot of different astrologers and healers use these types of things to help people with the difficulties of life. You can do a ritual for all kinds of different things but some popular times to commit to doing a ritual is during new moons, full moons and during the equinoxes and solstices. If you really enjoy doing them then you can start to do a ritual for other things you need in life. It can be very therapeutic. The power of manifestation is a crazy thing and that’s why these rituals are important.

The new moon moves into Gemini on June 3rd at 5:02am. We set intentions for the month on the new moon to be clear and concise about what we like to achieve. The new moon in Gemini asks us to focus on communication, truth, creativity and self expression. Gemini, the flighty, duality, talkative and intelligent air sign. Geminis know various subjects on the surface but when it comes to honing into one subject and learning it in depth they may lack focus. Some good intentions to set for his month could be about communication and focus especially. Work on your own personal truth and being clear on how you express yourself. If there is something we want to speak up on and communicate this Gemini new moon will bring it all to light and give us the strength to express ourselves.

You have 3 days before and 3 days after the new moon to perform this ritual.

1) Gather any and all supplies that you will need for the ritual. You can use sage to smudge beforehand, crystals you will need (opalite, Dalmatian jasper, blue lace agate, moss agate), a journal to write, a bowl to smudge in or burn intentions, and a candle. If you have a yellow candle I would recommend using yellow because yellow is associated with Gemini and the summer months coming up.

2) Create yourself a special alter space for all the items that you have gathered. It doesn’t matter where your alter space is, it can be any table in the house or on the floor, wherever you feel most comfortable. Decorate with items such as crystals, plants, candles, things you find outside in nature like leaves or feathers, decorative table runners, anything you can really think of that seems appropriate. I used dandelions for this months new moon ritual. It seems very fitting because summer is coming and the dandelions are in full force bloom.

3) Start by smudging your alter space and say a little prayer. It can be along the lines of “I respect mother moon and all she does for us. I take this time to set honest intentions. I manifest all that is good and bright and light. I have the power to change my future. I will let go all that no longer serves me. I am totally and completely alined spiritually. I am in tune with my higher powers. “ Write down your intentions or wishes. focus on them, meditate on them. What do you wish for your life? Can you actually picture these things happening to and for you in your life? The manifestation WILL NOT work if you truly don’t believe it. It’s important to be clear on what you want. You can doodle and make your intentions “pretty” or you can just be as simple as writing a list. Some new moon in Gemini intentions would be: not bottling up emotions, instead expressing them in a healthy way. Working towards focusing on one thing you are really passionate about instead of brushing the surface on various subjects. Listening better as well as communicating more effectively. Speaking your truth and being confident in how you approach this.

4) Light your candle. For this ritual I definitely recommend using fire and burning your intentions. You will write your intentions down into your journal. You will start off by writing down the goals and desires you have for this new month ahead of you. You will ask for the guidance in doing this. Don’t let fear or ego hold you back any longer. Next you will write about your wishes for the next month. What do you desire above all else. This is the perfect month to focus on communication and focus. Especially right after Taurus season which mainly focused on stability, indulgence and family time. Now is the time to be realistic and focus on the things you truly need to accomplish in order for your dreams to manifest entirely. You will light the paper on fire and watch how the fire burns your intentions. Maybe it burns fast or maybe it fizzles out fast or maybe it burins slow and smouldering. This seals your desires and puts them out into the universe. You can either bury the ashes into the earth outside or you can pour them down the sink,

5) At this time you can take some time for yourself however you wish, further meditation, possibly a tarot reading if you do that, you can even enjoy a glass of wine. Tell the moon you love her, clean up your space and take the crystals to bed with you. You have just completed your new moon ritual.

I hope you guys enjoy doing this ritual and can find some peace or healing that you may be needing in life. I also hope that you manifest your deepest desires and this moon month goes exactly how you wish it to. Now is the time for action and to put forth effort into achieving your goals. Use that airy and dual energy to put in the thought and effort to building your dreams, focusing on communicating more effectively and being completely honest. Take this time to focus intently. Happy June and enjoy this Gemini new moon!
