Sitting with the Questions
Balsamic Moon in Gemini
The Moon is back where this cycle began.
Gemini.
The sign of breath, questions, hands, wind, wings, words.
On May 26th, we planted a seed.
Not a fixed intention—
but a double-bodied whisper of curiosity.
Now, the Moon returns here, in her balsamic phase
waning, quiet, and wise.
This is the final exhale before the inhale of the Cancer New Moon.
So on this Moon-y Monday,
a few Gemini questions to sit with:
What conversations opened something in you?
Not just the ones you remember—
but the ones that moved you.
A passing line. A page. A song.
A phrase you can’t forget,
even if you’re not sure why.
Where did your energy scatter—and where did it gather?
Gemini disperses. Cancer brings it home.
Notice the contrast.
Which felt nourishing? Which felt depleting?
What part of you wanted to speak but wasn’t heard?
The good one? The bad one? The skeptic? The questioner?
What voice inside you still waits for acknowledgment?
What did you learn—mentally, emotionally, somatically, spiritually?
Gemini rules the nervous system.
The hands. The breath. The voice.
What truth did your body hold this cycle?
And what do you still not know?
What remains unanswered—
and can you let that be beautiful too?
Let these questions echo through your day.
Not to be solved,
but to be honored.
The New Moon in Cancer is a soft, sacred threshold
arriving early Wednesday.
It begins a new story about home, safety, nourishment, belonging.
Today, we pause.
We reflect.
We prepare the belly for growth.

What remains unanswered—
and can you let that be beautiful too?"
