New Moon of Gemini
We had a New Moon
in friendly and curious in Gemini on Saturday June 8 at 8:56
am PDT and 11:56 am EDT on the 18 degree of Gemini. The Gemini New Moon is about communication and understanding. This is the
time for new beginnings, so do take action toward what you want to create or
call into your life. New Moons are times to make a new start and it can be
helpful to see where the New Moon falls in your own chart since that is the
area of life where the New Moon is most likely to have an impact.
The New Moon in Gemini
was widely aligned with Jupiter in
Gemini, which brings focus to learning and teaching, along with awareness
of perception, beliefs, ideas and higher visions. It has been said that we
teach what we need to learn. This is a good month to examine how we form
our beliefs, as well as our sources of information. This month may also require
us to be more flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances. The
Sabian symbol for this New Moon is, “A
large archaic volume reveals a traditional wisdom,” suggests that we all have
deeper sources of wisdom that can be tapped into when needed.
The mind is quite
active under the Gemini influence, and the business of the other planetary
interactions could make it difficult to concentrate or relax. This is
especially true because Mercury, Gemini's ruling planet, is in a challenging
square to Uranus, the Great Awakener. Conflicts and arguments may arise at this
New Moon and a conscious focus that unites the mind with the heart will be
helpful. This is a wonderful New Moon for doing vision work since the
imagination is quite active and the mind is open to new ideas. We are also
being supported by the mutual reception between the Moon in Gemini with Mercury
in Cancer.
This will open our
minds to being intuitive and feelings to knowing what we need to do next to
fulfill our purposes.
In this lunation the
Sun and Moon are also in a challenging square to Chiron, the planet of wounding
and healing, opening up the doorway to the inner heart so that it can open and
communicate with the mind and foster greater body wisdom. The watery Grand
Trine is culminating now, creating a flow that will facilitate the opening of
the heart if we allow ourselves to be vulnerable and open.
June is highlighted
by the retrograde stations of Neptune, Chiron and Mercury. We have two very
potent aspect patterns in the sky that feel very opposite to the other. On the
one hand we have a dreamy water grand trine between Venus,
Saturn and Neptune, and then we have on the other, Mercury’s explosive Uranus
square Pluto in a T-square
The ongoing trine
aspect between Saturn and Neptune can provide practical expression for our
dreams and visions, which is further emphasized by three creative, sensitive
water grand trines. The Sun and Jupiter’s entry into Cancer later in the
month brings focus to home, security issues and our emotional/feeling
awareness.
“Gemini is the sign of the Twins and as such it also reflects the
opposites of feminine and masculine, female and male, intuition and
logic. How do we come into a harmonious relationship with our inner
Beloved as well as our outer Beloved? How do we get our
intuition and our logic to work together? Don’t fall back on
behavior that includes accusations, criticism or too much talking that goes
nowhere.”
“This New Moon energy wants you to plant new intellectual seeds,
seeds that offer you new ways to perceive your world and your relationships. When
you change your limiting thoughts, you change your
behavior. To really change your whole attitude, you need to change
the story going on in your unconscious. That’s where Mercury the
psycho-pomp can help. Listen to your dreams now and then work with
them to understand their hidden messages.” From the insighful Cathy Pagano from her Wisdom of Astrology:
June astrology highlights :
On June 3,
the first water grand trine occurs between Mercury in Cancer, Saturn
in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces. This sensitive combination
has the potential to bring form and organization for our creative ideas and
spiritual ideals. Communication of feelings in relationships can be better
received and understood during these few days.
The combined
planetary forces on June 6-8 contain both challenges and opportunities. Neptune
turns stationary retrograde on June 7, which increases our sensitivity, but
also a tendency towards deception or indecision. This theme is reinforced by
difficult aspects between Mars, Saturn and Neptune. The Mercury
opposition to Pluto can bring deeper communications, but also
disagreements. This same day features the second water grand trine of Venus,
Saturn and Neptune, which brings opportunities to create greater emotional
rapport, love and harmony. This is not the best day for accomplishment, but
rather to focus on being more heart-centered.
On June 11, a T-square forms between Venus, Uranus and Pluto that could prove to be a challenging time for relationships. However, on this same day a trine occurs between Saturn and Neptune that can help to restore harmony. This is the second of three trines, with the first occurring last October and the third to occur in mid-July. This aspect allows us to get in touch with and manifest our highest visions. Saturn provides the organization and structure, while Neptune brings compassion, along with intuitive awareness and grace.

Chiron in Pisces
turns stationary retrograde on June 16. Old emotional wounds that haven’t
healed can emerge now. Now our wounded healer awareness can allow us to
give and receive support from others. On June 19, the Sun aligns with
Jupiter in Gemini, expanding our world of ideas and providing a generous
and optimistic feeling. This carries over to the Summer Solstice on
June 20. The Sun now enters Cancer, which shifts our focus to family, home
and security concerns.
On June 25, Jupiter enters the sign Cancer, where it will travel until July 2014. Jupiter is said to be exalted in Cancer because it is comfortable there. The emotional needs of Cancer are great, and Jupiter can expand to meet those needs. During this period, we can expand our views in the areas of home, family, food and feminine energy. Jupiter was last in Cancer from July 2001 to August 2002. A statement or project begun back then can be expanded at this time.
Mercury in Cancer turns stationary retrograde on June 26, and travels backward in Cancer until July
20. During this period, we will be reviewing our attunement to feeling
awareness in our communications with self and others. Unfinished business with
family and security issues can come up now. Also it would be wise to start
paying closer attention to things that you say, instructions that you have to
read and contracts that must be signed.
On this same day,
the third water grand trine occurs with the Sun, Saturn and Neptune, which will
facilitate the process of greater attunement to the feminine, heart-centered
and highly sensitive energies.
It seems with this
New Moon, on the star of Rigel in Orion, “This star sits on the foot of Orion
the hunter, as well as being the last star in the constellation of Eridanus,
the river. This is a star that does promise a constant flow of riches and
achievements that the waters of the river provide you. It encourages a positive
attitude too, especially in spreading knowledge, through one’s actions,
examples or ideas, through education and teaching or through the spread of
one’s faith for the benefit of others. However, there is a catch. As in the
story, there is a chance that you may get over confident of achieving
success, and as a result suffer a similar fate as Orion did. The ancient story
goes that Orion was charged with killing all of the beasts on earth, however
for his brazen and rather arrogant attitude, the goddess of the
earth Gaia sent the scorpion to sting Orion which it did on his foot (or heel)
poisoning him to death.” http://solarisastrology.blogspot.com/
We can’t really
afford to take our eye off where the Moon falls in your chart, being aware of
the opportunities and challenges of the Gemini New Moon. This is also an area
where you can have great success for the next month, but humility is called
for.
It can be helpful to know where
the New Moon is in your birth-
chart. When you know the house placement of the New Moon in your birth chart for a given month, you will know the
area of life that is best for you to focus on for your personal growth and
success for that particular New Moon.
