With the New Moon falling in an air sign, those ruled by the changing winds will be blessed with a fresh start.
“Focus on fundamentals in life like health, wealth, and home. The Queen of Coins is a rising power, a new force, a shift in control and responsibility,” said Ward.
“You are taking ownership for one or more of these areas and making plans and steps that improve your future prospects in one or all of them. And it all boils down to your own actions. You are carving out your destiny this New Moon.”
Ward says that under the New Moon, water signs are guided by the harnessed energy and get up and go impetus of The Chariot.
“The Chariot is all about purposeful travel and movement. Book that trip, be it a holiday, a weekend getaway, a retreat or moving house. It could even mean investing in a new vehicle that enables you to get where you need to go. This is a powerful card. Think about where you are and where you want or need to be, and make the leap.”
According to Ward, the Six of Swords signifies a moment of catharsis before creation for Fire signs.
“New Moons are about new beginnings, but often the embryo of a fresh start is an old ending. Something has run its course, concluded and played out in full. Let it go. Your New Moon activation task is to release, quit, sever ties or cut cords with something that is fading, false, or stale in your life.”
All release, no regrets.
Ward notes that a New Moon equates to a new chapter for Earth babies and a master class in the art of forgiveness.
“Turn the page, especially in any and all conflicts. Make peace, make a truce, make a new pact to move forward with a clean slate and a clear trajectory.”
Ward assures that not only will this slate clearing offer profound relief, but it will free up your prodigious energies for more purposeful pursuits.
“Maybe it’s time to start something new and interesting! Gemini encourages you to consider a course, a trip, or a new creative endeavor.”
