Gemini New Moon on June 13, 2018--Clarity Or Confusion

Since Gemini rules duality the Gemini New Moon that lands on June 13 brings us clarity versus confusion. In fact, when I pulled up the chart set for Port Townsend, Washington, I felt like I was looking at a Spirograph. I thought I was looking at a series of T-Crosses but no, those aren't real T-Crosses. I feel like Dorothy landing with a thud in the astrological equivalent of Oz. 

And away we go.




Both Sides Now--The Gemini New Moon


The Gemini New Moon usually represents a lively or a chatty time. Conversations range from trivial nonsense to serious philosophical discussions. They could revolve around technology. And communication electrifies the air, especially since Mars transits in Aquarius and Uranus has changed signs and now transits in the earthy sign Taurus. With the Moon coupled with the Sun in the sign of the Twins, we literally get a sense that we are standing at a crossroads. And yet, this crossroad seems surreal like it came out of a children's story. Nothing makes sense.

And this is because we are shaping and forming a new world in the same way that a ceramic artist shapes clay into usable items. With Saturn and Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus, we take on the roles of master builders. Now, this can mean anything from building a business to building a house. Gemini rules the hands and forearms as well as, handy-crafts and carpentry. We notice more buzzing saws, and hammers at this time because of renovation projects and new buildings going up.

We hear a lot in the media about eye-hand coordination and learning disabilities. We reflect on the mental processes and mental illnesses. And we debate on whether or not people with mental illnesses who commit crimes belong in jail or mental health facilities. This is not a heated debate but one based in practicalities. Remember that Gemini is a detached Air Sign with a mutable quality. Gemini people are the most flexible and adaptable of signs. They are ruled by Mercury which also rules Virgo. Gemini people immerse themselves in words, short-distance communication, short-distance travel, computer technology, word games, and just like Gemini Cindi Lauper once sang, "They just want to have fun," and they add, "stop depressing me."

So, then, what can we expect from the Gemini New Moon? This new moon is livelier than the last two year's Gemini new moons because Saturn is no longer in Sagittarius opposing the Moon. Unfortunately, Saturn transits in the Earth Sign Capricorn, Jupiter transits in Scorpio, Pluto transits in Capricorn, and Uranus transits in Taurus during the time of the Gemini New Moon. So, that feels like serious business to a Gemini. That's like throwing a wet towel on someone's passionate moment.

Fortunately, the planet of love, Venus transits in Leo so this brings creativity and romance to the mix. Chiron transits in Aries which mainly reflects on children and our inner child demanding to be heard. Perhaps, this comes through written communication such as poetry, or radio broadcasts or YouTube podcasts. Children definitely feature into the picture and they have a lot to say. They're not going to keep quiet, not for one moment.

And finally, Mars in Aquarius brings out precocious or genius children. They come off as know-it-alls and they won't show adults respect.  But guess what? They're probably spot-on with their keen observations and they are inventive to say the least. Should we listen? You bet we should listen to the younger voices in the room. They don't only represent the future, they represent the sanest path to the future.

One caveat is to watch for the silver-tongue con person. The dark side of Gemini is the trickster or the person who twists words or uses flattery to get what he or she wants. It is a good idea to learn the tricks of narcissists and sociopaths so that we can avoid their pitfalls and uncover their clever disguises. If it sounds too good to be true, it's a trick. Watch body language and if the body language is incongruent with words then run. This is a Moon of used car salespeople who sell us lemons. And it is also the Moon of a fun person filled with rainbow light. Don't let anyone fool you. Use discernment at all times.

Now, for the breakdown of the Zodiac Signs:

Aries: How does it feel to have Chiron entering your sign? You already experienced similar energy with Uranus in Aries. And now is not a time to run away from childhood wounds. Become the warrior you were meant to be. And instead of lashing out at the windmills of the world, take your sword and face your own fears and cut away at your deepest wounds. Courage, my friend.

Taurus: Do you feel the Earth rumbling beneath your feet? The elementals call to you and their message is change or be changed. No one can avoid the changes happening on the planet at this time. Sure, we all enjoy our creature comforts but if your possessions are keeping you stuck in the mud, the earth will find a way to release you from your burdens. Now, is the time of revolutions and freedom songs. Sing your freedom song and find new meadows to roam.

Gemini: Isn't it wonderful that Saturn no longer opposes you? Wow, what a breath of fresh air. Neptune still squares you, but she showers spiritual growth on you and inspiration for artistic ventures. You choose the fun road at this time. You choose to look on the lighter side and take the brighter path. Hang out in nature and talk to the elementals. They have words of wisdom to share with you at this time. And happy birthday.

Cancer: I'm hearing that song from My Fair Lady, "Wouldn't it Be Loverly" because you too are undergoing a transformation from a flower girl to a leading lady, even if you are a man. It's time to get in touch with the Divine Feminine that exist in all of us. Although for many the DF has yet to evolve from a fetus to a child or from a child into a woman. Stop acting childish and wear the mantle of adulthood or better yet, of the wise priestess that exist in everyone, and especially you, ruled by the Moon.

Leo: Shine your light in the world. While any Zodiac Sign calls itself a lightworker, you represent the light. You sparkle like the late spring sun and remind us of summer delights. You hang out in the 5th dimension and show others how to have a spiritually good time. But don't chase your shadows away. Shine even more light on them so that you integrate every part of you. Then, and only then, do you show up as the leading man or lady behind the footlights.

Virgo: Your time is coming. You are one of the most patient signs and yet, why are you fidgeting? Stop fussing and allow others to evolve in their own time and in their own way. How do you know what others are thinking? Even if you have super psychic abilities, people hide secrets from you now, not out of malicious intent, but out of shyness or fear of your critical gaze. Go hang out with Leo people and delve into a creative project. Then, people magically transform in front of your eyes. If you can see it, you can believe it. Isn't life grand?

Libra: Mars is working you over in a good way. You learn to stand your ground and you join revolutions. After all, someone needs to cater the political gatherings, make peace between warring parties, and to beautify the surroundings. That's you, Libra! And you might even show up to lead a movement with Mars transiting in Aquarius for several months. If you could change only one thing in this world what would that be? Now, make that your next project. Others gravitate to your peaceful attitude. Everyone loves a winner.

Scorpio: The digging up truth continues. You work your way through your family tree. Who knew Uncle Mark was involved with smuggling? And who are all those detectives and spies in the family lineages? You also delve into taboo topics such death, sex, and taxes. Big finance is on your mind but so is forgiveness and spirituality. Perhaps, you forgive other peoples' financial and karmic debts. Even that lightens your load and helps you to ascend more quickly.

Sagittarius: You want to think big. You experience impatience with all those detail-oriented talker types. Sure, you like strategies and you think practicalities keep us on point. However, could we just get past the planning stage and take action? All this talk about problems puts you on edge. You wonder why people don't possess more faith in their beliefs. You take a leap of faith and you demand that others leap with you. It's the least that they could do. Dang it.

Capricorn: All the master builders of the world unite under the banner of humanity. You have your shovel in hand. You have your hammer in hand. You set the foundation and expect the building party to show up and roll up their sleeves. You care less about trends, fashion, or even the square footage of a house. The point is to build the field of dreams now so that they will show up. And they will, eventually. Have patience, Capricorn.

Aquarius: Zing, zing, zing...Buzz, buzz, buzz...I see an image of a beehive and you lording over it. The role of the queen bee is open to both men and women at this time. How is that for revolutionary? And did I say revolution? Oh, yes, I did. You spread revolutionary ideas like honey on the land. You join grassroots groups and movements even when you don't yet know the causes they represent. You love the term grassroots and non-profit work appeals to your heart. Oh, yes, Aquarius, you have a heart and it beats to a different drum--the drum of the rainbow gathering.

Pisces: Gemini energy bothers you. It feels like wading in the shallows instead of diving deep with the fishes. You feel like going back to school and yet, you desire freedom from structure and others telling you what to do. In fact, you desire to retreat to an ocean cave and experience wordless conversations with mermaids, whales, and other sea creatures. The world feels harsh to you like a bright light burning your eyes. Go join Aquarius and play music at the rainbow gathering. Seriously. Dance and sing your cares away. Music therapy works.
