New Moon in Gemini (Punarvasu)

The New Moon in Gemini on July 14 at 22.43 BST/ 17.43 EDT is conjunct Mercury retrograde, creating what could be called a ‘New Mercury’. This can bring an important insight through introspection. Yet delays are still likely, so allow extra time for plans to unfold. There may be much to process, both mentally and emotionally.

The New Moon occurs in Punarvasu, meaning ‘the return of light’. Its theme is the repetition of patterns, with the Sun, Moon and Mercury drawing attention to something you may not have fully understood or integrated before now.

The symbol of Punarvasu is an arrow returning to its quiver. It points to something repeating, but also to the clarity that comes from recognising the pattern. This is an excellent time to step back and see how the pieces fit together.

Whatever Gemini represents in your chart is likely to become clearer from this point onward. However, the finer details may not emerge until Mercury stations direct at the end of July.

Use this New Moon to reset some intentions based on your insights.
