New Moon Solar Eclipse in Gemini
A New Moon occurs this Sunday May
20th at 7:47 pm EDT,
12:47 am GMT ... along with a Solar eclipse.
An eclipse is regarded as an extremely powerful New Moon to kick off the new lunar cycle in the sign of Gemini.

We have had the Supermoon already. It kick started an astrological atmosphere that will become increasingly heated and intense as we approach the Pluto
Uranus square on June 10th. From now on until the end of the year things will be
accelerating significantly.
This New moon is also a Solar Eclipse. When the Moon and Sun
are together we have what is called the sacred conjunction, the 'conjunctio' where Masculine(yang) and Feminine (yin) unite
to create the seed energy for the coming month.
This eclipse of the Sun (masc, ego,self) will
highlight Moon (emotions, intuition, fem) in Gemini emotional currents. Venus going backward through Gemini right
now is doing the same. The next New Moon will be in Gemini again as well … a pretty
rare occurrence and rather fitting in the sign of the twins. So we have a strong focus
on all things Gemini.
Gemini is what is called a mutable (changeable) air sign,
ruled by the planet Mercury. Mercury rules our mind; our speech and our
thoughts, and is all about social communication, information sharing, our interest
in others and curiosity about life.
Gemini’s are flirtatious and talkative, love variety, have
quicksilver minds and are intelligent,
eloquent and oh so charming.
There is also a duality to this sign signified by the symbol
of twins. The Mercury ruler-ship makes it changeable and slightly erratic. Geminis
are known to change their minds frequently and will insist they did not say what you heard them commit to
yesterday. Sometimes their seemingly split personality is just a variable
response to whatever they engage in; no harm intended.
An eclipse in Gemini highlights communication and ask us to
be highly conscious of the power of speech and thought. 'As you say, so you are',
'I think, therefore I am' etc. Our personal integrity will be judged greatly by what comes out of our mouth!
Affirmations made at this time re especially powerful.
The New Moon
sets the tone for the coming month, and This one asks us to articulate clearly
what we want and why.
A challenging influence from Neptune makes it even more important for us to be especially clear over the next few days, due to the possible blurring and misunderstanding of our intentions that could lead us
astray or trigger distrust in others. Neptune can distract us with longings and fantasies that may never
manifest, as vague discontentment’s and subtle yearnings sidetrack the best laid plans. Thus the imperative to be extra be clear and focused at this time.
The eclipse also lands on the Moons south node, which
signifies old patterns of behaviour and things we need to release and leave
behind. In this case it would mean looking at our patterns of thinking and our
core beliefs to see where we are repeating old outworn ways of thinking.
(such as
‘nothing good ever happens to me” or “ I always end up alone’ etc
etc)
Taking responsibility for what we create in our lives is part of the lesson at this time. Look around and see what your life reflects back to you.

Venus is also now retrograde in Gemini, also emphasizing a
need to revisit old ways of relating and communicating. Old relationships may
resurface at this time, past lovers may reappear seemingly out of nowhere, or
memories may come flooding in that you thought were stowed away forever in an
old trunk at the back of your mind.
Saturn retrograde in Venus ruled Libra for the past year has
already been having us do this relationship work; it seems we are all being asked to
clean up our ways of relating ... to ourselves and to each other.
A key message of Venus turned backward is to focus inward in
self reflection and self love.
Self love is not the same as narcissism (which is not really
love at all but self obsession). Self love, arises from deep self-worth. This self knowing is being called forth by this retrograde.
In a few weeks Venus is going to cross over in front of the
Sun… a rare event which will highlight to a major degree the lessons we are all
learning about the transforming power of love. I am going to write more about
this next week, and in the meantime,
there is a call to ponder love’s
meaning and love’s purpose. (Love with a capital L.)
Meanwhile, this Eclipse asks us to speak our truth, know our
own mind (and heart) and send a clear message forward to pave the way for more
clarity, more love, more joy.
The recent conjunction of Sun (self) and Jupiter (joy) in Taurus brought rich indulgent
pleasure and enjoyment onto the menu, and the continuing abundance of earth
energy in the background helps ground and stabilize our intentions.
Now we need to clear our heads, focus our thoughts and speak our truth.

So, remember this Gemini New Moon/Solar eclipse to set your intention very
carefully. Know that your words and your thoughts have the power to manifest
and make them work for you (rather than against you) ... It's up to you.
