Dear star friends, Bonjour, ♊️ 🙏
Welcome to the invigorating soul magic flowing in this New Moon in Gemini, exact at 11 pm ET, on June 14, and into the early hours of June 15. Thank you for connecting here! I hope you enjoy these insights gleaned from a variety of teachers, friends and astrologers. Please share any personal reflections or insights you gathered recently.
In a nutshell, this New Moon in Gemini invites us to reenergize all our communications with new clarity, conviction, joy, and faith. If you know your chart, have a look to see where 24° of Gemini lights up your life over the next 4 weeks of this lunation. Set sparkling new intentions for this area of your chart. Setting intentions is particularly beneficial for this New Moon because Gemini is the Communication specialist of the Zodiac.
This is an opportune time to tap into our wisdom center and recalibrate our intellect and decision-making process. Can we reframe our ideas, and communicate in language that better reflects the deep knowing in our body and the highest wisdom of life experiences stored in our heart and soul?
There are 5 significant celestial events happening in June:
1. Venus conjunct Jupiter in Cancer on June 9.
2. Uranus squares the Lunar Nodes on June 12.
3. New Moon in Gemini on June 14/15.
4. Chiron enters Taurus on June 19.
5. Summer Solstice on June 21.
Gemini reminds us that we have the capacity to choose what to think and express in any moment of every day. The art of mindfulness is slowing down enough to become conscious of our physical, emotional and mental focus. Are our mind, body and soul in alignment? In order to surf the intense evolutionary waves this decade, we need to learn to master our energy. “And the better we master our energy, the better we master our reality.” ~ Pam Gregory.
Gemini has a strong connection to the planet Mercury, which is now in the sign of Cancer. Mercury in Cancer reminds us to talk with ourselves and others with more gentleness, patience, kindness, empathy, acceptance and caring presence. Please join me in sending soothing, compassionate love waves all over our sacred planet.
Everything begins with a thought: language, words, ideas, perspectives, beliefs, and deep inner truth grow over time. This Gemini New Moon asks us to review, refine and reinvigorate our mind with more compassion and gentle rhythms.
Inspiration always comes when we stop chasing it. I am writing this paragraph just after a short burst of lovely summer rain. With Mercury in Cancer these days, a water sign, our thinking may be clearer when we are near water or when we tap into our emotional intelligence. "In the waters of your own psyche's journey, rise, and let your heart sing. The world needs your soul song.” ~ Iris J. Madrona’s Pulse Teachings.
Even though June tends to be quite a busy month, as the days are long and the Sun shines in the social magic of Gemini, the universe is reminding us to slow down and rest as much as we need. The busyness and stimulation in Gemini season can overload our nervous system. This is a time for more being, less doing.
When the Sun enters Cancer to kickstart the Summer Solstice next week on June 21, we will feel a stronger pull towards time at home with family and good friends, in comfort and deep connection. The universal mother goddess and sacred feminine fire are rising this June and July, protecting and nurturing all life. Can you feel this?
I believe that a feeling of safety and connection is the most important factor in happiness and life satisfaction. Gemini is a social butterfly, ruled by Mercury traditionally, while also resonating with Venusian themes of love, beauty and connection. At their best, the cosmic Twins can be irresistibly charming, sweet, kind, fun, and dazzlingly intelligent. I just enjoyed a lovely connection with 2 good friends who both have Venus in Gemini.
It was fun to track the alignment between Venus and Jupiter in Cancer for many days in early June. The synergy created in that conjunction expanded the importance of compassion, love, self-care and the practice of gratitude as an act of presence.
Since June 13, Venus is now in the first degrees of Leo, boosting a desire for play, joy, and passionate creative expression. Venus now forms strong geometric aspects with Neptune in Aries, Uranus in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius. Since Leo connects to the heart chakra (and the Care Bear inside all of us), we are invited to feel the transformative healing power of love. It arrives through genuine heart-based connection. Venus now gives us the courage to look into our own heart and listen deeply. What do you see? What do you hear? Take a few seconds to receive these sacred messages.
On June 12, Uranus made another big energetic splash in the sky and formed a square aspect to the Lunar Nodes. As the planet of disruption, awakening, freedom and revolution, Uranus has been shaking and rattling ancient habit patterns that are ready to change and evolve into new expression. Uranus continues to inspire the rise of people power all over the globe for more freedom, rights and empowerment. As we feel the tension building, it is important to ground and release it through shaking, dance or any vigorous exercise. We need to support and nourish our nervous system every day.
“It is similar to being in the agitating phase of a washing machine. Everything is getting shaken so the dirt or density is being released so it can be rinsed away. Dear Ones, if you don’t know how to proceed you are not failing. This is very common during times of energetic intensity. Much like being in rapids, your focus isn’t so much on what is your highest path forward, it is more on staying in the boat, because you know the rapids eventually smooth out and propel you into new vistas.” AA Gabriel through Shelley Young.
Surprising twists and turns are normal in Uranian times. We may see curve balls in our path, inviting us to rethink our strategy and allow new possibilities and inspiration to come in. With the South Node of the Moon in Virgo (our past) and the North Node in Pisces (the future), we are releasing old patterns related to our service contracts, and deepening our intuition, imagination and trust in the spiritual dimensions of life.
Just a few days after this New Moon, Chiron enters Taurus for the first time in 50 years! This is a huge world transit that we will talk about in greater detail in future posts. Chiron in Taurus invites us to tend to the simple, small and local as an important counterbalance to the vastness of global energies. Local markets and farms will become more important and valued as opposed to industrial agriculture. We will feel the need for smart and practical financial management + sacred embodiment practices + living in closer connection to nature and the Earth.
“The awakened person is not disturbed by the storm around them because they have learned to govern the weather within.” ~ Ancient Order of the Hermetics.
I want to end this post by sharing a powerful message that a friend of mine shared on social media recently. It captures the spirit of this Gemini New Moon sky perfectly. She asked her physiotherapist, ”Am I allowed to experience joy, pleasure, fun, and a meaningful life while also not being able to work right now?” Her answer was gentle. “Yes." And my body fought back. It tightened. It seized. It resisted. It made me realize that maybe part of me still believes I have to earn rest. That I have to prove my suffering. That if I have a good day, laugh with my son, garden, watch baseball, create art, or enjoy life, then maybe people won't understand how much I continue to struggle. But two different things can be true at the same time. I can be healing and grieving. I can be joyful and heartbroken. I can be grateful and frustrated. I can enjoy my life and still be living with the reality of a brain injury. Healing isn't always about getting stronger. Sometimes it's about learning to stop fighting yourself.” Merci Brew Crew!
Et voilĂ ! I hope you enjoyed this reflection. Please reach out for a personalized astro reading anytime.
Warm light and love,
