Dearest moon lover,

I want to talk about the new moon before it gets here because this one is soooo worth paying attention to and I don't want you to sleep on it.

The New Moon in Gemini is Sunday June 14th at 10:54pm ET.

And this isn't just any new moon. This is a Super New Moon, which means the moon is at her closest point to Earth right now, making her influence bigger and more potent than any other new moon this entire year.

Whatever you plant this weekend is gonna hit different. I mean that literally, not just spiritually.

So let's make sure you're actually planting in the right place, k?

Gemini is ruled by Mercury aka the planet of communication, ideas, information, and how we connect with the world around us. A new moon in Gemini is always asking you to get out of your head and into motion. To say the thing. Start the thing. Share the thing you've been procrastinating on sharing.

But this particular lunation has a few layers worth knowing about.

Mercury is moving into its pre-retrograde shadow phase right now. The window for pulling those backlogged ideas out of your notes app, initiating the conversations you’ve been putting off, and sending the message is wide open right now, but the cosmic traffic is going to slow down soon. Speak up now. Share it now. Send the message now. Seriously!

Mars & Jupi are also active behind this new moon, which brings optimistic and action-forward energy to whatever you set in motion this weekend. This isn't a slow and patient lunation like Taurus was. Gemini moves fast, connects dots fast, and finds paths you never would have thought of on your own.

The themes of this lunation are communication, ideas, movement, change, and, in true Gemini style, surprise.

Leave room in your intentions for things to arrive in a form you didn't plan for. Gemini energy lovesss that.

Before you write a single intention, before you open your journal or light a candle…you need to pull up your birth chart and find which house Gemini lives in for you.

That house is where this Super New Moon is planting seeds. And that's the only place your intentions need to be pointed this cycle.

Here's why this matters so much:

Gemini energy is about communication, voice, ideas, and movement BUT what that actually looks like in practice is completely different depending on your chart. For one person this new moon is hitting their career zone. For another it's lighting up their home life. For another it's pointing directly at their closest relationships.

Same moon. Completely different focus.

Two women can both know it's a Gemini new moon, both know Gemini is about communication, and both write intentions about speaking up more, but only one of them is pointed at the area of her life where the energy is actually flowing right now. The other one is essentially sending her wishes to the wrong address.

Your house activation is the address. Everything else builds from there.

Aries rising → 3rd house
This new moon is landing directly in your house of communication, ideas, writing, and your immediate environment. If there was EVER a cycle designed for you to finally say or write the damn thing, this is it. Your intentions this cycle live in your voice. What have you been holding back that's ready to come out?

Taurus rising → 2nd house
The Super New Moon is activating your moneeeyyy honeeeyy. Your income + self worth go here too! Gemini energy is asking you to think differently about how you earn and what you believe you're worth. New income streams, fresh ideas about money, a different approach to your financial life…this is your most potent cycle of the year for planting financial intentions. But do the self worth work too. The numbers in your bank account tend to follow the story you tell yourself about what you deserve.

Gemini rising → 1st house
The new moon is landing directly on YOU aka your identity, your body, your whole presence in the world. This is one of the most personal activations you can have. The universe is basically handing you a blank slate and asking who do you want to be from here. This is not the cycle for small or cautious wishes. Who is she? Write her into existence.

Cancer rising → 12th house
Your activation is in the most inward and spiritual house of your chart. This isn't a loud external manifesting cycle for you. Think: quiet, subconscious, inner. The intentions you plant here will do their work in ways you won't always see immediately. Focus on what you want to heal, release, or transform in your inner world. The outer shifts always follow the inner ones.

Leo rising → 11th house
Community, friendships, your biggest dreams, and your vision for the future are getting the Super New Moon energy this cycle. Who do you want to build alongside? What dream have you been sitting on that's finally ready to move? This is also the house of the internet and audience sooo if you've been thinking about showing up more publicly or building something, this new moon has your back. Plant big.

Virgo rising → 10th house
Career, public image, legacy, and what you're building in the world are your planting zone. If you've been hiding, waiting for permission, or shrinking in your professional life…this Super New Moon is asking you to staup ittt!. Your intentions here are about what you want to be known for, what you're building, and how the world sees you. This is the most visible house in your chart and a new moon here is a direct invitation to be seen. Aim high.

Libra rising → 9th house
Your beliefs, your bigger picture worldview, and your capacity for expansion are being activated. This new moon is asking what you actually believe is possible for you. Throw the idea of being realistic out the damn window. Gemini in the 9th is a particularly potent combination for ideas that feel almost too big to say out loud. That's the signal. Plant the one that makes you a little nervous. The 9th house can hold it.

Scorpio rising → 8th house
Deep transformation, shared finances, intimacy, and the psychological patterns that run underneath everything else are your focus. This is not a surface level planting cycle for you. The 8th house asks you to go to the root. What needs to fundamentally change? What have you been circling around but not actually addressing? Gemini energy here is super useful; it can help you find words for things you've struggled to even name. Name it and plant from that honest place.

Sagittarius rising → 7th house
Partnerships and one-on-one relationships are your focus this cycle — romantic, business, and everything in between. If you're calling in a partner, this is one of your most powerful new moons of the year for that intention. If you're already in a relationship, this is the cycle to plant intentions around what you want that dynamic to actually grow into. Get specific. No vague wishes okay?

Capricorn rising → 6th house
Your daily routines, health habits, and how you show up for yourself day to day are getting the Super New Moon energy. Gemini in the 6th can bring new ideas and fresh approaches to the way you structure your everyday life. This isn't glamorous but it's foundational; the quality of your daily life directly affects everything else you're trying to build. What does your every day need to look like for everything else to flow?

Aquarius rising → 5th house
Joy, creativity, romance, and pleasure are your focus. And if that immediately felt uncomfortable or indulgent to read…that discomfort is worth looking at. Joy is not a reward you earn after the hard work is done. It's a frequency. Gemini in the 5th is playful, creative, and fun energy. What would it mean to actually let yourself enjoy your life a little more fully? What creative project has been sitting in your head waiting? Start there.

Pisces rising → 4th house
Home, family, emotional foundation, and your roots are being activated. This new moon is asking what you want to build in your most private, protected inner world. Your home environment. Your emotional safety. The feeling of truly belonging somewhere. Gemini energy here can also bring important conversations within your family or home life to the surface. Plant something that makes where you live and how you feel at home actually feel like yours.

The new moon is exact at 10:54pm ET on Sunday June 14th. Your 48 hour planting window opens right then and stays open through Tuesday evening — so if Sunday night doesn't work, Monday or Tuesday are still fair game.

Here's what to do:

Find your house from the list above. Read it twice. Soak it up. Then ask yourself honestly, what do I actually want to build in this area of my life? Again, truly what do YOU want to build. Don’t get held up with wanting it to be “realistic.” Why not create something you REALLYYY want?

Write your intentions in present tense as if they're already true. Stay away from "I want" or "I hope." Be specific about what you want but leave room in how it comes (because blessings and miracles are sooo real!).

Take one real action step within 48 hours. Nothing massive…just one intentional move that tells the universe you mean what you planted. Gemini rewards motion. Give it something to work with.

And one more thing before Sunday night:

Because Mercury is in its shadow phase, open loops are gonna start feeling heavy in the coming weeks. If there's something you've been meaning to finish, close, or communicate before the actual retrograde begins, THIS new moon is your green light. You can plant new seeds AND tie up loose ends. Gemini can absolutely do both at the same time.

Setting the intention on Sunday night is the beginning of the practice. It is not the whole practice.

What happens every single night between the new moon and the full moon — in the two to three minutes right before you fall asleep when your conscious mind finally gets quiet and your subconscious becomes completely open — is what actually determines whether your intentions take root or just sit in a journal somewhere.

That window is real. That nightly practice is where the seeds actually get watered. And it's the piece almost nobody talks about because it's not as photogenic as lighting a candle and writing wishes down.

But it's everythinggg.

If you want the complete system — the house activation process, the intention writing method, the nightly practice laid out step by step, and the full moon releasing ritual to clear the path for what you planted — that's exactly what lives inside Make Your Magic.

It's my complete monthly manifestation method. The exact framework I use every single cycle. Reusable every new moon and full moon from here on out.

If you've been reading this newsletter and thinking okayyy I need to actually start doing this properly… Make Your Magic is your next step.

Get out of your head, into your chart, and plant something this weekend.

See you under the next moon,
Lesli | Intuitive Mother
