five mantras for new moon in gemini

happy july my friends! guess what that means? in colorado, the sun is full force and we get to feel it in all of it’s glory. i live by best life when it’s over 90 degrees, so this is my jam. it also means anotha moon cycle. july 2019 is fun because it has two new moons, one on july 2nd, and one on july 31st.

even if you don’t resonate with astrology (like i don’t), you can still learn things from it and put in some positive self work. since gemini is symbolic for communication, this is the perfect time to get clear on what you really want and speak your truth whole heartedly. gemini can also be correlated with creativity, high energy, and being open to new experiences.

new moons are known for being rebirths, and an amazing time to set in stone new intentions and release toxic behaviors. so why not get a new round of mantras going!

i make decisions based on my most authentic self.

your actions are a form of communication! what you do is a very direct way of telling people what your goals are and how you want to live your life. all of your actions have to be in alignment with your highest self in order for you to receive the treatment you want from others, as well as attract new people into your life that will support you how you need to be supported.

i am open to new sources of creativity.

gemini energy is creativity pouring through it, so if you’ve been wanting to pick up painting, guitar, poetry, or another other form of creative expression do it, as long as it aligns with your intuition, which i’ll talk about later.

i balance listening and talking.

when we think about communication, we most often think about the words we say in order to be understood. but the other side of communication is waaaay more important. listening is a valuable skill, and you have to learn how to do it correctly. listening isn’t just sitting through it as someone else talks, its actively trying to understand and empathize with what they are saying without immediately trying to find how you fit in. listen to listen, not to respond.

i let my intuition guide me into new experiences.

now, this is not jumping at every opportunity to try something new. that can be dangerous and not in line with your highest self. when you are given an opportunity to try something new, feel it out. feel out what your intuition is telling you, or even what your nervous system is telling you. if you get nervous-excited its probably a yes, but nervous-nervous is probably a no.

i am not afraid to speak my truth.

here she is, the ultimate mantra for good communication. what good are you doing if you are not speaking your truth always? playing small is no good, speaking down to yourself is no good, modifying your inner monologue to suit society is no good. it’s scary to step wholeheartedly into the world and say what’s best for you when it may seem taboo or weird.

enjoy this season of rebirth and new intentions! what are you doing for the new moon?
