New Moon: 29 Degrees of Gemini
According to astrologers, the last degree of a sign is a ‘karmic’ degree
WE are in the Sign of Cancer: The personal feeling sign. This can give us the opportunity to slow down be receptive, intuitive, nurture ourselves, and be with family and friends.
I woke up this morning contemplate the concept of Astrology study of cycle. Then the metaphor of bicycles came into my mind. Cycles, cycles, cycles: Astrology is like riding a bicycle. Life is about change and movement. Sometimes we even come back to the same issue and we need tissues and support. The sign Cancer is about integrating what we learning in Gemini.
It is important to look at the location of where The New Moon on June 19th at the 28- 29 degree Gemini falls in your personal chart and any aspect contacts to that degree or to Mercury's position of 21 degrees of Cancer will allow you to see how you can personally direct the energy in your own life. With this second New Moon in Gemini this year, we have a Mercury theme again. Mercury shares a mutual reception with the Moon which disposits all planets except for Neptune , Mercury's
position is in a dynamic aspect to Saturn, so structure and responsibility will be a part of that picture. The New Moon is also in a positive aspect with Neptune and Saturn. Not the time for making quick decisions, but rather it is a healing time to go within and find inner peace and clarity. It is interesting to note that this New Moon is special because it lands on the degree that astrologers consider anaretic. According to astrologers, the last degree of a sign is a ‘karmic’ degree and represents the culmination of the signs energy. In this case, the lesson involves the sign of Gemini which involves communication, how we learn, and how we make use of the knowledge we acquire. In addition, since this is the 2nd New Moon in Gemini we are granted a second chance to go back to the past and correct anything we may have missed at the solar eclipse. Once again the New Moon aspects the planet
June 20 the Sun enters Cancer, at precisely 4:09 p.m. PDT known as summer solstice. This is a time of celebration, officially bringing us out of hibernation. The June intensity continues with the Summer Solstice (Sun entering the sign of Cancer) on June 20. Three close (less than 1 degree orb) totally unrelated squares dominate the chart: Mercury in Cancer square Saturn in Libra highlights our personal interaction with outer world responsibilities; Jupiter in Gemini square Neptune in Pisces outlines how the growth of the higher aspect of society enables a spiritual component to world affairs; and Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn challenges a total, unexpected transformation to the world. These squares are primarily made up of non-personal planets, and so may be embodied by issues in the outer, less than personal world. As such, we may feel overwhelmed by many issues demanding our attention. However, we still need to put our personal issues ahead of non-personal ones. This is not the time for self-sacrifice, but a contribution to the tipping point, as described in the story of the Hundredth Human, by Cris Fenwick.

Let us not forget the Venus retrograde cycle. Speaking about the Venus Transit, astrologer Roxana Muise writes about the retrograde shadow as the “subsycle”, because Venus and Mercury Transits are inferior conjunctions, they always occur when the planet is retrograde. Being retrograde, it is in the second section of the three times they travel over one section of the zodiac. I call the subcycle the retrograde shadow. The retrograde shadow normally begins with a planet passing the degree at which it will turn direct. When the planet turns retrograde it travels through that section of the zodiac in retrograde motion. When it turns direct it again travels over the same section of the zodiac for the third time”. This means that there is tendency for us to need to go over the issues again that occurred when Venus went retrograde on May 16th – and June 28th when Venus goes direct. “When the inner planet makes a Transit (that is at the same longitude and the same declination passing in front of the Sun) it is at the midpoint of the shadow cycle. Most astrologers recognize a midpoint as a very powerful position. This may give you more perspective about an inner planet Transit. It is also referred to as an occultation, which is also the definition of an eclipse. This Venus Transit is part of the process of conscious-raising, and could be called the midpoint of the 2012 shift”

Venus represents love, desire, how and what we want in life. And starting on the 28th of June we can heal the issues, people and situations when Venus started to be retrograde on May 16th.
