NEW MOON X GEMINI

Future E - 

I am writing to you the day after the Full Moon in Gemini in the year 2025. 

This is when you realize something special:

You are in alignment. You are in flow. 

Your relationship with knowledge has changed. Your reason for learning is more about understanding for the purposes of integration and inspiration. Not just to know, for the sake of knowing. You are realizing that every interest - especially the obsessions you keep coming back to - Black rebellion cinema, Anansi, obeah, etc - these are all invitations to study for the sake of honoring those storytellers and medicine folk who came before you. It’s not about memorization, but about a daily pouring of words over you, letting your mind and soul absorb the understanding however she chooses.

One of your favorite sayings/spells:

These are the books you are reading. You find it easier to read multiple books at a time. There is usually some over lap in subject matter. Finishing one book before starting another was too rigid. Of course, some texts you enjoy more than others, but this way is mainly about giving yourself the freedom to explore. Special thanks to past self, for building this amazing personal library over time. It’s very common for you to want to read about a new topic, only to find, you already have a book about it. The mini stacks of books all remind your room, remind you of your father.  

Your relationship to music has changed. It used to be this invisible wall of sound that kept you safe -- inside your own thoughts and imaginations. A dome of frequency protection. But you need it less now, so you enjoy it more.

Your relationship to your body has changed. Twelve weeks of loving your body every morning through yoga, pilates and barre. And now you trust the wisdom of your body. When your body slows down, it’s for your benefit. It’s an invitation to investigate. Ask yourself, why has the flow decreased - because it never truly stops. But why has it  subsided. If you’ve been taking care of your body - gotten the sleep you require, held your boundaries and not overexerted yourself, fed your body nourishing foods - then it’s not a case of needing more energy. Your body is trying to save you from wasting energy. Are you thinking too linear? Are you being too logical? The answer is usually yes to one of them.

REMINDER: How we used to play as kids is how you do manifestation work. When we believed our words had power and no one had succeeded at persuading us otherwise. 

Your relationship to your purpose is clearer. It feels a little uncomfortable to say this, but it keeps coming back to your mind: You are here to provide balance. It sounds so narcissistic. And reminds you of Anakin Skywalker (the righteousness of “villains” and why you enjoy the study of them is a something worth investigating in detail.) It’s also very cliche for a Libra Sun. But using balance as your bullseye makes setting goals and keeping boundaries easy. Most importantly, it prevents you from comparing yourself to others. 

Well, this has been the realest post yet. With love, trust and gratitude, Ester 2025. We’ll meet again under ...

the full moon in sagittarius.
