Happy New Moon! Any new moon is a great time to turn a leaf, start a new project or let go of that which does not serve you. This New Moon in Gemini, the sign of ideas, plans and intellectual curiosity might have you feeling like you're ready to start something new, or maybe, you're feeling a little overwhelmed and pulled in several directions. What you need, my friend, is a little wisdom from the tarot and maybe a stone to help you balance out whatever energy has got you all stirred up.

AIR SIGNS

The Hierophant, King of Cups, Page of Cups

Doing something creative to support a cause, campaign, spiritual practice or even religion you feel strongly about is where it's at right now for you. You will find peace and comfort in 'doing your bit'.

The Hierophant urges you to join a cause, put your weight behind something, offer your valuable resources. Find something you believe in and want to support. The Page and King of Cups asks you to share your wonderful care, compassion and love. People need people like you right now. And maybe there is something creative that you can do, make, organise or offer. Something that reflects a message you want to send or be heard. Something that puts you in flow too, whilst you're doing it. 

You can make a difference.

Your crystal prescription: Sodalite

Sodalite is also often associated with idealism and can help you stand up for your beliefs and bring groups or communities together in solidarity and trust for a communal purpose. Use Sodalite to strengthen your heart whenever you feel your faith in humanity waning (often for me!) and give you a sense purpose and the hope that you can make a difference in the world, even if it's just by being your authentic self.

WATER SIGNS

Six of Swords, Six of Wands, Four of Cups

If only you could see what these cards see for you- I know you'd make this bold leap, depart, leave and move on from wherever you're currently at. Better times and opportunities lie ahead, as shown by the Six of Swords (i.e. leave) and the Six of Wands (i.e. it will be a successful move).

The Four of Cups shows you've grown bored / tired / frustrated / apathetic with where you're currently at. It's dangerous mood to be in because it can infect other areas of your life and, before you know it, you're down in the dumps.

Stop the rot. Make a stand. Drop the dead weight.

I promise that letting go of what is holding you down or back will work wonders.You are ready for renewal and to turn the page and it just takes an extra brave breath to do it.

Aragonite will not only help alleviate anxiety but help you to embrace the unknown with hope and optimism. If you need to take a leap of faith, this stone is your companion and protector as you move forward. Use Aragonite as a taliman when you need to take a forward leap but don’t quite have the courage to do it, Aragonite will hold your hand.

FIRE SIGNS

The Chariot, Seven of Wands, The Hermit

A game plan. That's what you need!

The Chariot and Seven of Wands combine forces to ask you to wade right into the thick of it, roll up your sleeves, and compete like your life depends on it!

You love competition. You are a fighter. You rise to challenges. Go where the noise, heat and rewards are and throw your hat into that ring.

But first...

The Hermit asks you to retreat to the 'bunker' and make a plan of attack, know your strategy, research your rivals, mitigate your flaws, amplify your strengths, create some escape routes and back-up plans. Be informed and prepared, and then summon up your bravery and head into the field of competition. Whatever the prize is that you want, trust you can win it!

Your crystal prescription: Pyrite

Pyrite is a stone to help you get things moving, a great motivator and energy giver.The name comes from the Greek word pyr, meaning 'fire,' because pyrite emits sparks when struck by metal! So if you need a spark to ignite you, or if you've got some solid work to do or challenge to undertake, Pyrite can give you the drive you need to get started and the stamina to see it though.   

EARTH SIGNS

The Empress, Three of Coins, Knight of Cups

I'm here to tell you that you've got a secret admirer this New Moon! Hope that's good news! A romantic one looks likeliest but, if that makes you cringe, then it could be a hopeful friend-in-waiting or a colleague / boss who wants to work with you on something.

The Three of Coins is the admiration and respect that has built up here- they've noticed you and like what they see. The Knight of Cups and Empress kinda' seal the deal that this is an emotive, and likely romantic, attraction.

Feels like Water signs could be in scope- Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces- or possibly Libra or Taurus.

The good news is that (whatever this relationship is) it's going to be a positive one in your life, and this person can bring happiness, success and support to you. So open your eyes and look around!

Your crystal prescription: Ruby

Oooh, this months I'm prescribing Ruby for you, earth Signs. Ruby is a stone of love and passion, and can bring to the surface 'the fire within'. If there is someone you might like to get to know a little better, Ruby is said to bring closeness and encourage commitment, if this is something you want! In ancient times it was believed that a ruby would tell you of impending danger by glowing brightly, so maybe take one on a first date, just to be sure!
