Hello, darlings! We had the New Moon in Gemini on Sunday, June 14th, 2026, at 10:54 pm EST. What has the past couple of days been like for you? I’ll tell you when it comes to me, my hometown is winning, and I am bragging about it! If you’ve been living under a rock, you may not have heard about why the streets of New York are celebrating. I believe it is a part of my good Samaritan duty to tell you why. On Saturday, June 13th, the New York Knicks won the championship after 53 years! And if you didn’t know, the Knicks are definitely a Gemini team as they were founded on June 6th, 1946. Coincidence? Talk about bringing in a new energy with a fated victory! Not only was this victory fated, but the energy was right! People were saging MSG, Wu Tang Clan blessed us with a performance, and Spike Lee’s aura definitely brought things full circle. This made me wonder, in what ways has life been aligning things for you to enjoy, especially after a long period of hard work, failure, and internal doubt? Have you noticed that when it really comes down to it, it’s all about mind over matter?
If you’re a mutable sign, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces, you may have felt somewhat of a mindset shift! You’re seeing things differently, and it’s for no other reason than understanding that life is great just as it is, and if you think it’s not, you can always work on changing your viewpoint. Everyone deals with a certain amount of mental clutter from time to time, but the youthfulness of Gemini reminds us that it is okay to find a way to play and be curious even in a pile of mess! In the case of the Knicks, can you imagine the great optimism and the pressure to perform this year? Especially after making it so far and having all these celebrities breathing down your neck, haha. Not to mention the fans outside going straight crazy! To work through that is insane, yet they still managed to do something that could not be done in over 50 years, while upholding the legacy of the team and for all those who played, thought it was possible, and actually prayed for a night like this to happen! That’s the thing about Gemini, there are always two sides to a coin. If you are struggling with your new reality, now is the time to take it easy, literally! In the words of the Joker, “Why so serious?”
How we show up in the world is important, but it is equally important that we don’t forget the fun of being alive! Work will always be work, but brainstorming new goals for yourself and visualizing your future are great ways to turn any frown upside down. Play time, in fact, isn’t over; it just needs a scheduled time and place. The New Moon in Gemini wanted us to be as truthful as can be, not necessarily with others, but with ourselves! Truthful about our feelings, truthful about how things have changed, and truthful about the mindset we need to embrace that leads us to happiness and joy. This new mindset comes with a full mental reset, which is just in time for Mercury going retrograde in Cancer on June 29th. Oh, yes, she’s coming, haha! Isn’t it ironic that the universe is allowing us to get our mind right before we are about to analyze the sh*t out of how we feel, our emotions regarding home, family, past intimate relationships, and the present ones? And not to worry, it’s not as bad as it sounds, as long as you’re willing to do this one very thing: face both sides of the same coin! In other words, are you comfortable realizing that everything is all good, no matter how messed up someone or something could’ve been, and that now that adequate time has passed, you see that they or the situation wasn’t the only thing adding to the problem? If you’ve been holding on tightly to trauma and drama, let go, baby.
This would be a great week, and over the season, to reflect, but more importantly, to journal your emotions and feelings. Reading old journals and diaries from high school (if you have them) would also be a great exercise or at least something to think about, as you can reflect on whether your emotions were valid or if you were, in fact, being overdramatic, haha. You can see the aftermath and be proud of yourself for how you faced the very things you thought you couldn’t, only for you to be okay in the long run. Reflections like this are also why I love being a New Yorker: we know that no matter how hard things get or what we have to go through, there is always a party, a victory, or a celebration on the way. However, most importantly, even in times of strife and opportunity, LOVE is always in the room. Or, in the words of pop culture’s television legend, Carrie Bradshaw, “So maybe it won’t look like you thought it would in high school, but it’s important to remember that love is possible. Anything is possible. This is New York.”
With love,
D.
