The New Moon in Gemini occurs when the Sun is in the sign of Gemini, so it will always occur in May or June. The Gemini New Moon is an excellent time to begin any project related to communication or the synthesis or ideas. This is a great time to start a new website, especially a networking site or to implement changes in your company based on those customer feedback forms you’ve been collecting. This is a good time to bless and send out your manuscript if you are an author.
It is also a wonderful time for spellwork related to improving communication in relationships or combining a group’s ideas to form a synergistic solution. Remember, this isn’t about compromise, it’s about coming up with new and superior ideas by considering everyone’s ideas.
Full Moon in Gemini
The Full Moon in Gemini occurs when the Sun is in Sagittarius, Gemini’s opposite sign, so it is important to take Sagittarius’s energy into account as well as Gemini’s energy when deciding what to do on this day. This is a time for change. It’s a time to take what you’ve learned and share it with the group and see what new and exciting things will come of it.
Also, if there is something you are curious about or trying to learn and you’re just not getting it, now is a good time for spellwork to help you overcome that challenge.
This is also a good time for traveling and planning travel and to work that spell for protection during traveling or to ensure a pleasant voyage.

Lunar Gardening and Gemini
Gemini is considered dry and barren, so when the Moon is in Gemini it is best to restrict your gardening activities to harvesting, weeding, mulching, pest control, etc. This is a great time to harvest any plants you are planning to store for a long period of time whether you are going to dehydrate them, can them, freeze them or turn them into preserves or pickles.
Unlike most plants, melons seem to like to be planted when the Moon is in Gemini, especially in the second quarter.
