My dear reader,

Do you feel you’re changing?
Your mind is shifting on perspectives and beliefs and your heart is feeling different, too?
Maybe something you used to think and believe, doesn’t make sense anymore.
Something you used to feel, it doesn’t feel right anymore.

We are in the heart of Gemini season.

Gemini, symbolized by the twins, often brings duality. We can feel in two minds about something — like two twins holding different opinions.

For example:

“Stay in this company or go pursue my own thing?”
“Do I want children or not?”
“Do I want to be in the city or move to the countryside?”

The twins within us all can challenge us at the moment with this. So, if you’ve been feeling this, you’re not alone!

We can experience two kinds of internal shifts: change of mind and change of heart.

Let me explain the difference.

Change of Mind vs. Change of Heart

🧠 A change of mind usually comes from logic, analysis, or new information.
It happens when your perspective shifts based on facts, outcomes, or reasoning.
It sounds like:

“This doesn’t make sense anymore.”
“I see things differently now.”
“The plan I had no longer feels like the best one.”

❤️ A change of heart comes from intuition, emotion, or deeper self-awareness.
It’s not always rational — it’s a felt sense, an inner knowing.
It sounds like:

“This just doesn’t feel right anymore.”
“My heart’s not in it.”
“I can’t explain it, but I need something else.”

Journaling Prompts for a Change of Mind 🧠

1. What have I changed my mind about lately?

2. What makes sense? What doesn't anymore?

3. What decision, plan, or commitment no longer makes sense to me, and why?

4. What new information, clarity, or shift in circumstances is nudging me toward a different path?

Journaling Prompts for a Change of Heart🫀

1. In what area of my life do I feel I have had a change of heart?

2. What feels right? What doesn’t?

3. What once felt like a whole-hearted yes, but now feels more like a “should” or a drain?

4. What (or who) is softly calling to me — filling my heart with curiosity, peace, or possibility?

Why this matters:

Both types of change are valid.
Sometimes your mind leads the shift.
Other times, your heart whispers the truth first.

The most aligned choices often happen when your mind and heart meet — when something feels right and makes sense.

Both are valid.
Both deserve space.

Let this New Moon in Gemini today be your permission slip to honour both.

Keep connecting and moving with it.

It is all guiding you where you’re meant to be, cause you are already where meant to be.

Trust the journey and that you don’t have everything figured out.
The journey is to ride these waves of changes within and connect with who we are becoming.

That’s the beautiful and awesome journey of what it is to be human.

Heartfully,
Essi
