We had a major astrological event this week with the annual
New Moon in Gemini. It occurred on June
16th at 10:00 a.m. in 25 degrees of Gemini. This was a very special new moon because it
occurred on the heels of Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, going direct and because
Gemini symbolizes the magician and messenger who can send communications at
warped speeds into other dimensions. It
was a fabulous new moon to trust your intuition to make new beginnings, which
after all, is a major theme of new moons.
In the sign of Gemini, it was also a time to reboot mentally, appreciate
the humor in life and accept the exciting challenges coming upon us.
This new moon also made some very powerful alignments with Mars
and Chiron. It conjuncted Mars in
Gemini, inconjuncted Saturn in Scorpio and squared Chiron in Pisces. On that day I posted these two tweets:
“Gemini New Moon today conjunct Mars can make us antsy to take action
& be on the move but quincunx to Saturn puts the brakes on.”
“Gemini New Moon squares Chiron in Pisces today. Emotional healing is
possible through compassionate communication & forgiveness.”
Other themes which pertained to this new moon in Gemini
included reconciling duality and assimilating information. This was especially pertinent this year
because Mercury is direct now, freeing us up to process all of that information
before we embrace the new and implement the changes that we desire. A new moon in Gemini is also an ideal time to
forge connections with others in our neighborhoods and perhaps engage in social
media to connect with others.
Conversely, if we have become too addicted to technology, it might be
nice to take a brief break from social media. And if we are saddled with
ancient technology, we can feel a green light to invest in upgrading our
technology now that Mercury is direct.
So if you feel like you need a new cell phone or computer, go for it! Purchase that upgrade.
I understand the moon’s inconjunct or quincunx to Saturn all
too well, as I have it natally in exactly the same signs. I have a natal moon in Gemini and Saturn in
Scorpio. True to form, Saturn being back
in Scorpio for the next three months is causing old fears regarding security
issues and finances to resurface through memories and dreams. Indeed, this aspect had a profound impact on
me as it caused me to reflect on where I have come and how I need to make
adjustments to get where I am destined to be.
I have always been inspired by the work of Carl Jung, and this week has
truly reminded me of the title of his biography Memories, Dreams,
Reflections. Carl Jung was one of
the first psychiatrists to believe in and use astrology in his practice. He actually looked at a client’s chart before
their appointment and I am convinced that the insight he obtained was
invaluable in their treatment.
On June 21st. we have another big astrological
event. The Sun enters the sign of Cancer,
heralding the first day of summer and the longest day of the year. It is also
known as the Summer Solstice. This year it also falls on Father’s Day. The moon changes signs and enters Virgo about
twenty minutes after the sun enters Cancer.
So both the sun and moon align in a harmonious sextile around 1:00 p.m.
that day. This is very nice energy
indeed.
Many people like to engage in
rituals to commemorate the Summer Solstice.
If you want to keep it simple, try seizing the day by being kind to
yourself. Look at the trines and
sextiles in your chart instead of focusing on the oppositions, squares and
inconjuncts. Express a little gratitude
for these easygoing aspects. We are
entering the season of summer, when we can kick back a little and enjoy life
more. Summertime fun, easy living and
time for vacations are officially here. It’s time to engage with others and be more
social. No one can dispute the fact that
the first half of 2015 has been challenging with the last Uranus/Pluto square
and the spring eclipses, but we should have smoother sailing ahead for the next
couple of months.
If you don’t know what your trines and sextiles are in your
chart, consider getting an astrological reading with me. You can learn more

Special, which will be $25 through the month of September 2015. Venus hasn’t gone retrograde yet (that
happens on July 25th), but Venus is in Leo for an extended period of
time this year and it will undoubtedly have a profound impact on your
relationships and finances. Contact me
