Last year I set intentions around Gemini's rulership of motion and activity. I wanted to hone my driving skills and get regular access to a car so I could plan short trips into nature. Just two months later I was put in charge of a car for five months and I had the opportunity to get comfortable driving and I went on many short trips outside of New York City.
The Gemini New Moon Workbook expands on what was covered in this blog post. It includes journaling pages so you can manifest your intentions into reality like the Magician.
