GEMINI NEW MOON – 16 June 2015
Exact at 3.05pm BST,
10.05am EDT!
We now have the New Moon in Gemini, planting new seeds for
the month ahead. A New Moon represents the potential for the coming month and is
an amazing opportunity to birth new energy and set intentions for the coming
weeks. It is a very powerful time of the month, when the Sun (our consciousness
and will)unites with the Moon (our unconscious, instinctual awareness), birthing
a new energy and giving us a chance to leave whatever isn’t serving us behind
in the dark of the Moon and start anew. We are living in exciting times and the
pace is quite rapid at the moment, it being Gemini season and Gemini being a
very curious sign who wants to know; to gather as much information as he can
and pass it on to others. Mars is sitting right next to the Sun and Moon during
this New Moon, creating more drive, passion and motivation to learn and
communicate as much as we possibly can.
The Sabian symbol for this Moon is at 6 degrees Gemini
“Frost covered trees against winter skies” which gives the impression that it
might be a good time to pare away whatever isn’t important and to focus on the
essentials. As it feels like the information has been coming hard and fast in
recent times, with the pace quickening and life taking us for a ride somewhat,
so maybe now is the time to decide what is really important to us and what
needs to go. It is time to get back to basics and start from there. This is not
time for superficiality, but rather is a time for going deeper.
Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, has just finished his retrograde
cycle on the 11th of June and now is the time to digest all
that we have learned during this time. This was an interesting retrograde cycle
indeed, with much opportunity for looking back, rethinking, revisiting and
tying up any loose ends which might have been left dangling. I know I have
learned a massive amount in the past few weeks and have experienced many blasts
from the past and revisiting old information that had been forgotten or left
behind. It has been quite overwhelming in fact, so this Moon’s Sabian symbol
does resonate with me, in that it is now time to strip down all that I have
learned and get more of an understanding of the bare bones that lay beneath all
of the information. Less is more.
The Jupiter Uranus trine has been building in recent weeks
and will be exact on June 22, so its energy is very strong right now. This will
definitely be adding to the atmosphere of excitement, because between the two
of them they make us feel like anything is possible and bring the potential for
us to blast through some blocks and release anything that may be preventing us
from growth. This duo really has the potential to help us strip away anything
that is stopping us from being absolutely ourselves and bringing our gifts into
the world. Combined with the Gemini energy at the moment we could find
ourselves brimming with lots of wonderful ideas and being very excited about
releasing them into the world! We have opportunities abound for moving past any
chains that bind us, but we have to be open and aware in order to make the most
of them.
Saturn has just gone back into Scorpio for one last time,
from June 14 until September 19. He is also forming a somewhat challenging
aspect to the Sun and Moon for this New Moon. Saturn shines the harsh light of
reality on whatever sign he is in, and in the case of Scorpio we are being
asked to delve deep and recognise where we hold ourselves back from truly
participating in life. This transit has the potential to bring up any fears we
may have regarding intimacy and show where we are blocked, forcing us to face
up to the not so pretty parts of ourselves that we find hard to admit or accept.
This energy can force us to be brutally honest with ourselves.
We have yet another chance to do some serious soul searching
and recognise where we might hold ourselves back from participating in the
greater whole, whether that be through our intimate relationships, joint
ventures, the community or humankind.
When we enter into partnership with another we always run the risk of
sacrificing a part of ourselves and Saturn could make us feel this quite acutely
right now. Saturn in Scorpio could also highlight where we are prone to feeling
powerless or vulnerable and to contemplate the whole concept of commitment to
something bigger than ourselves. Obviously we need to go back in and explore
some Scorpio themes. Saturn isn’t quite done teaching us lessons in this area,
obviously! It’s time to dive deep beneath the surface and dig some more muck
up!
The Sabian Symbol for Mercury, the New Moon’s ruler, is
“Workmen drilling for oil”. This also suggests that it is time to go deeper in
order to find what we are looking for. Much like the New Moon’s Sabian symbol,
there is a sense of us needing to let go of anything that isn’t essential and
to go beneath the superficial layers to find what lurks beneath. This is
reinforced by Saturn going into Scorpio, asking us to look beneath the surface
of our reality and face whatever we find there, even if we don’t like what we
find. The Jupiter Uranus square definitely gives us the chance to release
ourselves from our blocks so that we can really blossom and grow, but not
without having a good understanding of how we hold ourselves back from all that
we truly want for ourselves. You can’t break the chains unless you recognise
what they are!
Much love
Amy
