GREETINGS EARTHLINGS! 🌌
It’s new New Moon in Gemini… with ruler Mercury at home in Gemini alongside JUPITER in Gemini, with Venus Cazimi in Gemini!!
Naturally, this was the time to officially launch (into space) and announce:
🪐 Dominique Michelle Astrology + Cosmic Coaching HAS ARRIVED 🪐
After falling in love with astrology over the past (almost six!) years — starting with my very first reading with Shannon Aganza, my beloved mentor, guide, and cosmic mom — I have finally taken the leap toward making astrology part of my professional life and offering.
Everything I do in this life, as you know, is aimed toward experiencing and sharing joy with others. I’ve found that in the past years, my inability to shut the fuck up about the stars ebullient, effervescent enthusiasm surrounding astrology has permeated all conversations, with strangers and loved ones alike. Those close to me have learned chapters of astrology against their will. Everyone in my circle knows when Mercury has stationed retrograde, and when the lunations are happening, and where their Mars is in their natal chart. Some of you even know when (cosmically!) to get your hair cut! (and if you don’t, listen to the episode below — WINK)
I love sharing and teaching, and bringing joy and understanding to those around me. I want to serve others with compassion, and to help them see themselves through a more compassionate lens. My mission is to inspire, educate, empower, and uplift — and astrology has become an absolutely exquisite tool to do all of those things.
My extremely public affinity for the cosmos has generated some strong responses from those around me. I’ve had not one, not two, not a dozen, but [insert uncountable number because IDK] calls to make this part of my professional practice. Enough people have told me that what I share — my astral pontification (in the nicest way) — adds value to the lives of others, in a way that can help me earn a living, too (aka, continue to feed Stella fresh imported Spanish dog food and pay rent in Paris).
We’ll have to get into another newsletter about overcoming impostor syndrome, struggling with accepting money, et. al. FUN TIMES AHEAD!
For now, my Virgo Mercury will say it with her full chest: WE’RE OPEN FOR BIZ, BABY!
For now, we have virtual sessions for mini readings and cosmic coaching — coming soon, events in the Paris area, and virtual moon circles. Stay tuned (by subscribing to this newsletter!)… more to come this summer.
Enough about me, let’s talk about you… and the transit we’re experiencing today!
New Moon in Gemini ♊️🌚
Ruled by: Mercury (currently in Gemini)
Guest starring: Venus Cazimi! (Venus is at the same degree as the sun and moon in Gemini)
With an added dose of fun from: JUPITER ALSO IN GEMINI!
What does this mean? The Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter — all the fun planets, if you will — are in chatty, witty, hilarious, light and fun, curious, wifi-in-human-form GEMINI. The twins. The duality, often mistaken for duplicity. The get-you-a-girl-who-can-do-both girl. The cerebral jokester. The ruler of the hands and arms and lungs. TAKE A DEEP BREATH. The mental energy is, how you say… buckwild? Maybe I’m just feeling that way because it’s squaring all my Virgo concurrently… but again, this isn’t about me! it’s about you!
Where is Gemini in your chart? If you don’t already have your birth chart in front of you, or know your rising sign, that’s step one. Go to THIS SITE, type in your birth data, and generate your natal chart. You can also book with me to get your natal chart basics explained to you.
Once you have your rising, use this guide to understand where all this cosmic energy is activating in your life…
Aries Rising: Gemini is your 3rd house of communication, publishing, short distance travel, neighbors and siblings, vehicles
Taurus Rising: Gemini is your 2nd house of resources, talents, food, materials, money, your STUFF
Gemini Rising: Gemini is your 1st house of self, the body, YOU
Cancer Rising: Gemini is your 12th house of the spirit world, endings, things that are hidden/behind the scenes/beneath the surface, blind spots
Leo Rising: Gemini is your 11th house of community, the collective, larger friend groups
Virgo Rising: Gemini is your 10th house of career and public life
Libra Rising: Gemini is your 9th house of long distance travel, higher learning, religion and philosophy, other cultures, all things foreign

Now think of what’s going on in that area(s) of your life. What new intention do you want to set, knowing that the director of this intention (Mercury) is at home with all its tools at its disposal? You’ve also got the benefactors of the Zodiac, daddy Jupiter and queen Venus, at the party alongside the Sun, Moon, and Mercury… they’re ready to bless you with some cool shit. What do you want to activate for the next lunar cycle, the next YEAR, in this area of your life? Gemini risings, congrats, this is a big day for you. The (celestial) world is your oyster rn.
Libra rising… do you want to move abroad? I’m sure you wouldn’t mind a romantic tryst in faraway lands, you hopeless romantic, you! Sagittarius rising — do you have a business partner in the pipeline, or are you ready to tie the knot with a partner? Virgo risings (hello, sistren) — it’s time to focus on your public life! What legacy do you want to leave, where are you focusing your career energy, and what do you want to call into this area of life?

More cosmic fun to come, my sparkling loves…
Wishing you so much abundance, joy, and all the effervescence of a cosmopolitan beverage Gemini stellium. Thank you for being on this sparkly star studded path with me.
