Anchored In the Stars: Communication and the Gemini New Moon
A series blending astrology, emotional wisdom, and practical tools for navigating divorce, co-parenting, and life transitions.
Because clarity doesn’t just come from courtrooms and calendars—it comes from aligning with your truth, your nervous system, and the cosmos.
Astrology teaches us that every sign holds a particular kind of wisdom—and Gemini’s gift is communication. With both the New Moon and Mercury in Gemini, the skies are giving us a nudge (okay, more like a cosmic push) to pause, reflect, and refresh how we speak, listen, and connect—especially in emotionally charged relationships.
If you’re:
Considering divorce and unsure how to begin the conversation,
In the thick of divorce mediation or litigation,
Or navigating post-divorce communication for graduations, family events, or summer scheduling...
...this is your invitation to do it differently.
Gemini’s Lessons in Communication:
Gemini isn’t about fluff. It’s about:
Clarity over chaos
Curiosity over assumption
Adaptability over rigidity
It’s ruled by Mercury, the planet of information, expression, and logic—but also playfulness and wit. Gemini reminds us that words can heal just as much as they can harm—if we use them with intention.
Here’s how to work with this Gemini energy in real life:
Speak from your nervous system—not your triggers.
In the heat of divorce or conflict, it’s easy to speak from reactivity. But Gemini offers a breath of fresh air—an opportunity to pause and choose your words from a regulated, resourced place.
Before a tough conversation, ask: “Am I grounded, or am I about to speak from survival?”
Be curious, not combative.
Gemini thrives on questions. Use this energy to seek understanding, not just to defend your position. Whether you’re discussing parenting logistics or financial agreements, a well-placed “Can you help me understand why that matters to you?” can shift the whole dynamic.
Use the “3-Second Rule.”
If you wouldn’t say it to your boss or a judge… don’t say it to your ex. Gemini can be quick-witted—but it’s best used with emotional intelligence and forethought. Let your words build a bridge, not burn one.
Revisit the way you communicate.
This New Moon is the perfect time to re-set your tone. Texts, emails, DMs, or in-person convos—ask yourself:
Is this message clean, clear, and aligned with how I want to show up in this next chapter?
Graduation Season + Co-Parenting = A Gemini Test
Let’s be real—showing up to graduations, weddings, or summer events post-divorce can feel like emotional tightrope walking. But Gemini energy invites grace and perspective. You’re both there for the same reason: your child.
Use this moment to focus on what unites you—not what broke you apart.
Even a simple “Thanks for making that work” or “Glad we could both be here today” goes a long way in softening old energy.
New Moon = New Intention
Use this moment to set a clear intention for how you want to communicate in this next season—whether that’s in a courtroom, a co-parenting app, or a graduation parking lot.
Try this Gemini-inspired affirmation:
“I choose words that are clear, kind, and grounded in truth. I speak with purpose. I listen with presence.”
Bottom line:
Whether you’re preparing for that first conversation about separating, working through the messiness of divorce, or showing up post-divorce with grace—this Gemini New Moon reminds you:
You get to rewrite how you communicate.
You get to choose clarity over conflict.
You get to divorce—and co-parent—smarter.
And I can help with that.
