your glimmers know the way
it's OK to change your mind ♡ from the gemini new moon
Hi! I know this is coming a lil’ late. Thank you for your patience! This post was inspired by Melissa, a beloved paid reader, who asked:
This is my answer. (And happy Gemini New Moon!!)
“I just feel so lost,” she said.
We are ten minutes into our second ever reading together, and already, the truth is begging to be set free.
“I’ve been running my acupuncture business for the past 3 years, but there hasn’t been any momentum. What if I’m on the wrong track…?”
A pause. I could feel the heaviness in her heart. My sweet Gemini Sun. Her true essence is light and curiosity and play. She hasn’t felt that way in a while.
Suddenly, a question dropped unannounced into my head.
“Have… there been any other interests in your life?” I ask. A Gemini season special. “Any glimmers piquing your curiosity?”
Almost instantly, I could feel her energy shift.
“I haven’t spoken about this to anyone,” she said. This time, I could hear the smile in her voice.
“… Death doula training.”
Instantly, shivers run down my spine. I tend to get full body chills when I hit on Truth in a reading, like a miner striking gold.
“That’s it,” I say. “That’s what you should do next.”
We are in the thick of Gemini season. Four planets (Sun, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter) in the sign of the Twins. Gemini is duality — dark and light. Their energy is fast, frenetic, free. Interests and hobbies changing like the tides.
There is a wound all Gemini carry. The wound of changing their mind. Gemini consumes information at a dizzying rate. All things spoken and unspoken, processed, packaged and then acted upon, often unconsciously. That’s why Gemini can cycle through friends, careers, and even lovers at the drop of a hat — it isn’t that they are fickle. It is that it is no longer true for them anymore.
“What if I change my mind? What if it’s not what I am meant to do?”
Anything you do, dear Gemini, is what you are meant to do. You wouldn’t be called to it otherwise. Geminis are the bumble bees of the zodiac. 🐝 They aren’t meant to stay in one place for long. Always gathering, always cross-pollinating. If Air wasn’t meant to flow, it would just stay in one place.
Yet, we have the wind.
“This is where the flow is taking you, my dear,” I say. “Listen to your gut. Is it a pull, or is it a push?”
Our gut knows best. If it wasn’t aligned, it would feel like a push — wanting to run away from something, instead of running toward. But I knew what her answer would be before she even told me.
It was a pull. And those are often the scariest of all.
“What is your next intuitive step, my dear?”
“I am going to message the death doula teacher. Open up a conversation. I’m gonna put it out there, and see how it feels.”
Already — moving forward. Trusting her intuition. Taking bold steps.
When we take action, even the tiniest one, we are telling the Universe, “I am ready for something new.” New paths open up for us, each more dazzling than the next. Gemini season teaches us to honor the glimmer within.
We know what lights us up. Permission to honor it. Permission to play it out.
And permission to change our mind, just because.
The Gemini New Moon is a special one for me. ♡
Two years ago, on the Gemini new moon, I scribbled a single word on a Post-It note:
“Astrology??”
I was in the exact same spot as my client at that time. I’d been running my empathy training business with my partner for 6 years. For all intents and purposes, I was successful. But I wasn’t happy.
The spark, it wasn’t there.
At the same time, I was getting glimmers, just the same as she was. I was going deeper and deeper into the world of Astrology. 🪐 Following people like
and Cosmic Latte. Dreaming about what it would be like to actually do Astrology for a living.Fast forward two years, and I am living that dream.
Do not underestimate the power and potency of the Gemini new moon ꩜
Your words are spells. Write your desires into existence.
We just had a beautiful Venus cazimi, where she was purified in the heart of the Sun. Our desires are top of mind now. Feel into your heart…
What are you curious about?
What curiosity or interest is winking at you in the dark, just out of reach?
That is your glimmer. Write it down. And watch it bloom into existence 🌸
The comments are open…
Dear paid readers, I am building a community of kind, conscious souls. Let’s make magic together. Share the glimmers in your world in the comments. It’s just us here.
I’ll bring this back on the Full Moon in Gemini, six months later, and celebrate all that have come true.
Love, Gwen
