The New Moon falls in Gemini, bringing energy focused on communication, spontaneity, and fresh starts. This peculiar lunation occurs during a void-of-course moon, ideal for a resetting and making the void throughout meditation or any way able to stop the inner dialogue.
I’s the ideal time to get rid of parasite thoughts, fake beliefs from our conditionings, projections of the mind.The present moment might be a subtle key to have a fruitful NM.That day the moon will be void of course from 04h53 to 14h14 (every body can adjust the time according to his location)

Spot on the void and the (Gemini) paradox !
One can see the right part of the zodiac empty, there are no planets except the Black moon and the Vertex which are fictive points.
The direction of the WEST, linked to the water element, is primarily defined by the setting sun, representing endings, death, transformation, and introspection.
In ORIENT (Zen Buddhism), the void (or sunyata) is not a state of nihilistic nothingness, but rather the dynamic, non-substantial nature of reality where form and emptiness are identical. It represents a mind free from dualistic thinking, preconceived ideas, and attachment to a fixed self, allowing for direct, unfiltered experience of the present moment.
Spot on the West wind!
As Gemini is an air sign, combined with the direction of the west, one can discover a subtle message of the... west wind.
Greek/Roman Mythology: The west wind (Zephyrus/Favonius) is personified as a gentle breeze bringing spring, light, and fertility. Indian Tradition: In Ayurveda and Jyotisha, it is a dual force that can foster crop growth but also incite conflict or deplete physical moisture.
The west wind generally signifies transition, transformation, and the passage of time, often acting as a catalyst for necessary change in both nature and society.
Welcoming the not-doing !
To write this NM article, as a good Virgo, I‘ve chosen the not-doing of analysing the
zodiac....
Summer solstice
The Summer Solstice takes place every year between the 19th and 22nd of June, when the Sun enters the sign of Cancer. This moment is very energetically charged since the inclination of the Earth brings us closer to the Sun. The Solstices are related to the inclination of the axis of rotation of the Earth which, as you know, rotates around the Sun.
From March to September, the northern hemisphere is inclined towards the Sun and therefore receives more Light. It is spring and summer. Our spirit, like Nature, awakens little by little... Energy becomes more and more solar and 'Masculine'.
Like the plants towards the Sun, we are then in a movement of stretching our Authentic Being towards others and the World.
During the long days of summer, our mind thirsts for outdoors, thrills, movement and partying. The axis of the Earth tilts towards the Sun at most twice a year.
There is an interaction between the moon and Mercury, let’s have a look!
Spot on the Moon in Virgo...
Ruler of the sign Cancer, the moon is located in sign of Mercury: Virgo.
Key Traits and Challenges
Analytical and Meticulous: They are highly organized, detail-oriented, and driven to perfect their environment and relationships. Service-Oriented: Their love language is acts of service; they show care by helping others solve problems or maintaining order.
Emotional Restraint: Emotions are often kept "close and in check," leading to a reserved exterior even though they are deeply caring toward trusted inner circles. Perfectionism: A major challenge is self-criticism and worry; they may overanalyze
situations or become stressed when plans change or things are messy.
Spot on Mercury in Cancer...
Ruler of the sign Gemini and Virgo, Mercury is located in sign of the moon: Cancer. This aspect represents an emotional and intuitive approach to communication, where the mind processes information through feelings rather than pure logic.
Key characteristics include :
Communication Style: They prefer voice memos or face-to-face conversations over texting, speaking with heartfelt emotion and often using silence or indirectness to protect themselves or others. Strengths: They have a photographic memory for details and emotions, allowing
them to recall past conversations vividly and understand people on a personal level. * Potential Challenges: They can be oversensitive, moody, or defensive, sometimes avoiding direct confrontation or becoming trapped in their own emotional narratives.
The quote of no quote !
Zen koans are paradoxical riddles, stories, or dialogues used in Zen Buddhism to transcend logical thinking and provoke sudden insight (satori) rather than intellectual comprehension.
EMPTY THE CUP
Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"
