Gemini New Moon Ritual: Listening with our Heart and Mind
Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes
The Gemini New Moon peaks on Monday, May 26, 2025, at 11:02 PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and is inviting you to listen more closely to the stories you tell yourself.
Into the place where your mind’s voice and your heart’s voice meet.
Gemini energy is about duality. It’s fast, curious, and full of questions. And during this lunation, you might feel that mental pull - the voice in your head offering logic, plans, or fears.
But there’s another voice too. A quieter one. The voice of your heart.
It often speaks in feeling rather than words.
This New Moon asks,
What voice are you following?
And what would happen if you paused long enough to let both speak?
1. The Mind vs. The Heart
The mind says, Be realistic.
The heart says, But what if it works?
The mind says, Play it safe.
The heart says, You’ve outgrown that version of you.
The mind often wants certainty.
The heart wants truth.
You don’t have to choose one or the other.
This moon invites you to hold both.
To let them dialogue instead of compete.
You might notice…
Inner conflict about a decision or desire
Self-doubt or second-guessing
A longing for clarity but fear around the answer
Heightened mental chatter alongside emotional sensitivity
Let this moon be your reminder that clarity doesn’t come from silencing one voice.
It comes from honoring both.
Let your heart speak. Let your mind listen differently. Let the two meet with curiosity.
2. Gemini New Moon Ritual: Listening to Your Heart and Mind
This New Moon is an invitation to create space.
Not just for stillness, but for inner dialogue.
For the voice of your heart and the voice of your mind to meet.
Not with pressure. Not with judgment.
Just presence.
Let this ritual be a soft return to both.
A moment to rewrite your inner story in harmony.
✨ What You’ll Need:
A quiet space
A journal or piece of paper
Two candles (optional, one for heart, one for mind)
A pen
A small bowl of water (optional, to represent flow and emotional clearing)
🌬️ Ritual Steps
1. Create Sacred Space
Find a place where you can sit quietly without interruption.
Dim the lights. Light your candles. Breathe deeply.
Let your nervous system know that it’s safe to slow down.
If you’re using candles, choose one to represent the mind and the other to represent the heart.
You might say softly, “This flame holds space for my thoughts,” and “This flame holds space for my feelings.”
2. Tune In
Close your eyes.
Place one hand on your heart and the other on your forehead.
Take three slow, steady breaths.
Feel both hands.
Let your attention gently move between your mind and your heart.
You might notice tension, emotion, clarity, or stillness.
Just notice. No need to fix anything.
3. Inner Dialogue Journaling
Open your journal and begin a written dialogue.
Allow both your mind and heart to speak.
Start here:
“Right now, my mind is telling me...”
Then let your heart respond:
“And my heart wants me to know...”
Let it be a back-and-forth.
Give each voice room to express what it needs.
Be honest. Be soft. Be curious.
4. Write a New Story
After both voices have spoken, pause and reflect.
What is the deeper truth that wants to be carried forward?
Write a single sentence. Something clear and compassionate.
A bridge between both parts of you.
You might write:
“I trust my wisdom, and I honor my longing.”
“I can be both thoughtful and bold.”
“It’s safe to listen to all of me.”
5. Close with Water or Flame
If you’ve included a bowl of water, dip your fingers in and touch your heart and forehead.
Let it be a symbol of integration.
If you’ve used candles, gently blow them out as you say:
“May I move forward with both clarity and care.”
“May my mind guide, and my heart lead.”
“May I remember that both voices are sacred.”
Sit in stillness for a few final breaths.
Let the energy of the ritual settle into your body.
This practice is not meant to solve everything.
It’s here to create space.
So your heart feels heard.
And your mind feels safe to soften.
Let the Gemini New Moon remind you that you don’t have to pick sides.
You are allowed to feel it all.
You are allowed to listen to all of you.
3. Journaling Prompts for the Gemini New Moon
What is my mind trying to protect me from right now?
What is my heart quietly asking for?
Where do I feel split between logic and longing?
What happens when I let both voices be heard without judgment?
If I let my heart lead this time, what might shift?
4. Gentle Invitation
You don’t have to choose just one voice.
You’re allowed to feel the tension and still move forward.
You’re allowed to be wise and wild. Grounded and open. Certain and unsure.
Let this Gemini New Moon remind you that duality isn’t something to fix, it’s something to listen to.
Join us for our upcoming New Moon Ceremony as we make space for both mind and heart, and welcome the next version of ourselves with clarity and trust.
