This moon cycle moves through Gemini season, a time that encourages curiosity, communication, learning, and new perspectives. This season invites you to stay open — to new ideas, conversations, experiences, and the possibility of seeing yourself and your life differently.

Using the moon as a guide offers natural check-ins for the life you’re building. Each phase represents a different stage of the process: setting intentions, taking action, recognizing what has come into form, and releasing what no longer aligns. When you begin to work with this cycle, you may notice changes in your mindset, habits, beliefs, and connection to yourself.

Below, you’ll find journal prompts, affirmations, and self-care practices designed to support each phase of this lunar cycle. Return to this guide throughout the month as the moon moves through its phases, using each one as an opportunity to pause, reflect, and realign.

New Moon in Taurus - May 16

Theme: Wealth, Stability, and Self-Worth

Focus: Setting grounded intentions that support long-term security, value, and consistency.

The New Moon in Taurus is a reset around what you’re building and how you’re supporting yourself. This phase invites you to slow down and get intentional about what actually feels sustainable.

Taurus energy is steady and grounded. It’s less about big changes and more about creating something that lasts. This can show up in your finances, your routines, your environment, or the way you care for yourself day to day.

It also brings your attention to self-worth. The way you spend your time, energy, and money often reflects how you value yourself. This is a moment to check in with that and set intentions that feel both supportive and realistic.

Set an intention centered around something that can show up consistently. What you begin here doesn’t need to be big, it just needs to feel solid enough to keep.

Journal Prompts:

• What am I ready to call into my life and build over time?
• What does stability and abundance look like for me in this season?
• What is one intention I can commit to consistently?

Affirmations for the Week:

• I am building something steady and supportive.
• I trust slow, consistent growth.
• I allow myself to create stability and abundance over time.

• Write down what you’re ready to receive and why you’re worthy of it
• Set one simple financial or routine-based intention you can stick to

First Quarter Moon in Virgo - May 23

Theme: Wellness, Habits, and Intentional Growth

Focus: Taking aligned action toward the routines, habits, and systems that support your well-being

The First Quarter Moon in Virgo is an activation point. With every first quarter moon, intentions begin meeting resistance, asking for action and adjustment. Virgo brings this energy into your daily routines, habits, wellness, and the systems that support your life behind the scenes.

Small actions taken consistently can create meaningful change over time. Virgo reminds us that growth is built through the everyday choices that support how we feel, function, and care for ourselves.

You may start to notice what’s working and what isn’t. What habits are actually supporting your goals? Where could more structure, intention, or care make life feel smoother and more aligned? This is a good time to refine your routines and take practical steps toward feeling more grounded and supported.

Focus on small shifts that help you feel healthier, clearer, more organized, and more connected to yourself day to day.

Journal Prompts:

• What habits are currently supporting my well-being and growth?
• Where in my life could more structure or consistency support me?
• What small action would make my daily life feel more aligned?
  

Affirmations for the Week:

• Small, intentional actions create meaningful change.
• I support myself through the habits and routines I build.
• I release the need for perfection and focus on progress.

Full Moon in Sagittarius — May 31

Theme: Expansion, Exploration, and Perspective

Focus: Celebrating how you’ve grown, expanded, and opened yourself to new experiences

The Full Moon in Sagittarius marks the peak of the cycle. This is where your intentions are fully illuminated. Pause and recognize what has expanded in your life, both internally and externally. What experiences have shaped you? What perspectives have shifted? What feels more open or aligned than it once did?

Sagittarius brings growth through exploration. This may look like travel, learning, meaningful conversations, new opportunities, or allowing yourself to think bigger about your life and future. This moon highlights the ways you’ve stretched beyond old limitations, comfort zones, or beliefs.

Before focusing on release, this phase asks you to acknowledge how far you’ve come. Celebrate the risks you took, the experiences that changed you, and the version of yourself that exists now because you were willing to grow. Something here has expanded your perspective, and it wants to be recognized.

From this peak, the light begins to wane, marking the natural shift from fullness into release. This is a reminder to release limiting beliefs, outdated narratives, and ways of thinking that no longer align with the life you’re growing into. As your perspective expands, what once felt true may no longer fit.

This is a moment to honor both the journey and the person you’re becoming through it.

Journal Prompts:

• What experiences or lessons have expanded me recently?
• What new perspective feels clearer to me now?
• What belief, limitation, or mindset am I ready to release?
  

Affirmations for the Week:

• I honor how much I’ve grown and expanded.
• I am open to new possibilities, perspectives, and experiences.
• I trust life is leading me toward continued growth and discovery.
  

Self-Care Activities:

• Reflect on an experience that changed your perspective and what it taught you
• Go somewhere that makes you feel inspired, expanded, or connected to life
• Release a limiting belief by writing it down and replacing it with a more expansive perspective

Last Quarter Moon in Pisces — June 8

Theme: Healing, Surrender & Spiritual Connection

Focus: Taking action to release emotional weight, old wounds, and anything disconnecting you from yourself and your intuition

The Last Quarter Moon in Pisces is a point of action for release. Pisces brings this energy into the emotional and spiritual realms, asking you to notice what feels heavy, unresolved, overstimulating, or no longer supportive of your inner peace.

You may become more aware of emotional patterns, escapism, exhaustion, or ways you’ve been absorbing too much from the world around you. Pisces reminds us that some things don’t need to be carried forever. Some things are meant to be felt, processed, and released.

This is a time to consciously let go through softness, compassion, reflection, and surrender. Pisces supports healing that happens when you slow down enough to reconnect with yourself, your intuition, and something greater than your immediate circumstances.

Use this phase to clear emotional and energetic space. Rest more. Reflect more. Release what’s draining your spirit so you can move forward feeling lighter, more connected, and more at peace with where you are.

Journal Prompts:

• What emotional weight am I ready to stop carrying?
• Where in my life do I need more rest, softness, or surrender?
• What helps me feel most connected to myself and my intuition?
  

Affirmations for the Week:

• I release what is emotionally and energetically draining me.
• I trust my intuition to guide me forward.
• I allow myself to soften, heal, and let go.

Self-Care Activities:

• Spend intentional time alone to rest, reflect, or reconnect with yourself
• Take a bath, meditate, pray, or engage in a calming spiritual practice
• Release emotional energy through journaling, music, creativity, or movement

 

New Moon in Gemini - June 14

Theme: Communication, Curiosity, and Mindset Shifts

Focus: Setting intentions around communication, connection, and mental expansion

The New Moon in Gemini is a fresh start in the realm of the mind. Gemini energy is curious, adaptable, and invites you to explore new ideas, perspectives, conversations, and ways of thinking.

During this phase, reconnect with what mentally stimulates and inspires you. Notice what’s catching your attention, what conversations keep resurfacing, and what ideas are asking to be explored more deeply. For Gemini, growth begins with curiosity, so focus on keeping an open mind.

This moon can also highlight the stories, thought patterns, and assumptions shaping your daily life. Are they supportive of where you’re headed? Are they helping you expand, connect, and communicate more authentically? This is a powerful time to become more intentional with your mindset, your words, and the way you express yourself.

Set intentions around communication, learning, creativity, social connection, and the stories you tell yourself about who you are and what’s possible for your life. Ask questions. Follow what sparks your interest. Let this be a cycle of mindset shifts, curiosity, connection, and mental expansion.

Journal Prompts:

• What am I feeling curious about right now?
• Where could I benefit from seeing things from a different perspective?
• What story or mindset am I ready to rewrite?
  

Affirmations for the Week:

• I am open to new ideas, perspectives, and possibilities.
• My voice, thoughts, and curiosity deserve expression.
• My words create worlds.

Self-Care Activities:

• Write down intentions around communication, connection, and mental expansion
• Start a book, podcast, class, or creative project that sparks your curiosity
• Spend time brainstorming, journaling, or mind-mapping new ideas

This cycle is something you can return to again and again. Each time, you’ll move through it with a little more awareness — refining what you’re building, what you’re releasing, and how you’re showing up for yourself. Let it be a simple ritual you come back to when you want more clarity, grounding, or direction in your life.
