Your Angel Message For May’s Double-Gemini New Moon (Music + Tarot)
This month’s New Moon falls on May 26th, when both the sun and moon are in Gemini. This is a powerful time for manifestation, especially for those with Gemini in their Big Three (sun, moon, or rising sign), or with multiple Gemini placements on their birth charts. But whether or not you’re a Gemini, the New Moon is an opportunity to set intentions for the upcoming lunar cycle and envision what we want to achieve. What are your angels trying to tell you during this magical period? Choose the song and lyrics below that resonate with you for your special New Moon message.
Song 1: “Pink Moon” by Nick Drake
Lyrics: “I saw it written and I saw it say, a pink moon is on its way. And none of you stand so tall, pink moon gonna get ye all.”
Your Cards: Page of Cups (reversed), Queen of Swords, 10 of Cups (reversed)
The Page of Cups tells me that in the past, you were feeling a bit stuck and stagnant. Perhaps you suffered from depression and struggled with motivation. Your mood and mental health affected your ability to move forward and succeed.
The Queen of Swords reveals that now, things are different – you’re feeling much stronger and more assertive. You’re ready to make some big changes, and your angels are encouraging you to cut off anything that does not serve your best interest. Toxic relationships, bad habits, unfulfilling work – it’s all got to go. And May’s New Moon in Gemini is the perfect time to release those blockages. Honesty, firmness, and empathy will serve you well in setting these boundaries, and I’m sensing that you have what it takes to hold your ground.
In its reversed position, the 10 of Cups tells me that there is some disruption ahead of you soon. Perhaps others won’t be so willing to accept your new boundaries, or the depression from your past will rear up again and make you feel stuck. Your angels want you to know that everything comes in cycles; you’re in a strong, motivated period now, so get to work on setting those boundaries and progressing toward your goals. Reserve some energy for when you face setbacks later, knowing that it’s a normal and expected part of the process – growth isn’t linear, after all. You will be back in a motivated, powerful state of mind soon enough – you’ve got this!
Song 2: “Sisters of the Moon” by Fleetwood Mac
Lyrics: “Some call her sister of the moon, some say illusions are her game. They like to wrap her in velvet. Does anyone know her name?”
Your Cards: The World (reversed), 4 of Pentacles, Page of Swords
In the reversed position, The World tarot card suggests that in the past you’ve started many projects and struggled to finish them. You’ve had plenty of ideas but little follow-through. Since The World is a major arcana card, I sense that this has been an ongoing issue for you that you’ve learned to recognize.
The 4 of Pentacles tells me that you have grown and matured, and you feel a strong call to establish security and recognition in your life. You want to break the habits that have held you back in the past, so you can succeed and build the life you’ve always dreamed of. Your angels urge you to lean into this mindset and focus on your goals. However, this tarot card also indicates a bit of stubbornness and unwillingness to let go – you’ve got to release your old patterns of behavior that haven’t worked for you, and the New Moon in Gemini is the perfect time to do that. What you’ve been doing hasn’t yielded the results you want, so you’ve got to make some major changes if you’re ever going to succeed.
The Page of Swords reveals that, once you open yourself up to change, there’s nothing you can’t do! You are on the verge of picking up new skills, cutting through any doubts or obstacles, and exploring new territory. You’re about to step into an exciting, transformative period that will finally set you on the path you’ve always searched for. Your angels promise this abundance is coming, as long as you accept the need to change now.
Song 3: “Fly Me to the Moon” by Frank Sinatra
Lyrics: “Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars. In other words, hold my hand, in other words, darling, kiss me.”
Your Cards: King of Swords, 8 of Pentacles, Wheel of Fortune
The King of Swords tells me that you have been working under a mentor or receiving help and guidance for some time. You’ve learned a lot, but you’re ready to break free of this tutelage and start acting on your own.
The 8 of Pentacles reveals that you are hard-working and committed to your endeavors. You’ve discovered that it’s best to rely on skill and effort rather than luck, and that is serving you well now. Your angels see how hard you’re trying to strike out on your own and be independent, and they’re encouraging you that you’re on the right track. Keep doing what you’re doing during May’s New Moon in Gemini!
The Wheel of Fortune is a major arcana tarot card, so its meaning is powerful and significant. It’s a reminder that you can only control so much in your life, as many circumstances – both positive and negative – are out of your hands. You already know better than to depend on luck to succeed. Your angels are telling you to keep up the good work, and leave the rest in their hands – what’s meant for you will come to you.
