New Moon in Gemini ~ We are Stardust
Get ready to re-imagine the future. It's time to break out of old ways of thinking. Change is afoot.
Time to put your best foot forward ! (hehe)
Today's
New Moon is particularly potent, filling us with both curiousity and caution. A New Moon initiates fresh waves of
energy, influencing and setting the flavour for the upcoming month. This is a good time to set new goals, start new projects, or revision existing ones.
“Gemini is the sign of the twins, duality, and multiple personalities. It is
also known as the ‘trickster’, partially due to these qualities. Gemini is the
master of language and grammar, serving as both a transmitter and receiver
of information and knowledge. It is the ultimate student and
curiosity fuels its drive to learn.” (Collective Evolution)
A Sun Moon - New Moon conjunction in Gemini
brings a multiplicity of options. Sky's the limit!
There's
a sense now that we can do anything, a welcome reprieve after the
struggle and strife of the past few months. Curiosity is Gemini's
second name - which is - after all - the the mother of all
invention. Many options can open up for you now. Socially, this is a very positive, fun New Moon - Geminis know everybody!
Just be aware of the difference between wishful thinking and conscious manifestation. Neptune's influence can confuse
and obfuscate and lead us down a path to nowhere. Both Gemini and Neptune/Pisces are known to be
excellent story tellers (also well known as liars). If
you combine Geminis' tendency to change its mind (often) and Neptune's
ability to bend the truth - you get - Donald Trump (literally - this
aspect is in his birth chart).
Need I say more?
With Neptune at odds with the New Moon - we may not be able to see the road ahead clearly. A blurring of facts and boundaries can get us tangled up in confusion, doubt and worry - or even downright deception.
To escape the tension, we may grab at the first offer that comes our way. Don't be taken in by smooth talkers. If you find yourself in a situation where you must choose between what is real or not, possible or impossible, discernment is the key. Honesty is also a must (with self and others). Don't be fooled by empty promises or a shiny veneer.
And don't make promises you can't keep.
When under stress- Neptune/Pisces is an escape artist - master of avoidance and denial. Addictions become a way to avoid our pain; they work (somewhat) in the short term - but aren't so great for long term growth.
The positive side is how Neptune activates the ability to
visualize - by lifting our imagination to a higher frequency, and unlocking our creative expression in ways we may have never imagined. Mediation and dreams are deep and rich.
So that's the dichotomy of this
New Moon; It is full of possibility and promise - as well as steeped in fakery, fantasy and illusion. We will need
clarity - not confusion - as we set our intentions for the coming month. Saturn insists on it.
What to do?
Use your imagination!
This New Moon reminds us that we are all creative. We are all artists. We are co- creators of our own life. Find a creative outlet for your thoughts and feelings.

Listen. Feel. Ground yourself. Walk barefoot every day. We need the
yin, negative charge of mother earth to balance all this highly charged mental
energy. Meditate. Breath. Use your body as a meter. If your stomach clenches when you make a decision- its
either fear - or your deepest gut instinct.
This New Moon will challenge you to discover the
difference.
Free yourself from your mental cage.
Gemini is about the mind- it likes to think - think - think. And what we think about gets run through the filter of our
unconscious mind – which is a repository of all the things we have seen and
heard and felt. And been taught. To be truly awake and aware and conscious is the challenge - not
only at this New Moon - but especially during these crazy times. In the era of fake news and extreme polarization - we are being pushed to develop our own internal
code of ethics and instincts.
Some will prefer to stay comfortable, hiding behind 'group think', gaining temporary
safety in numbers. Mars in Aquarius wont let us do that for much longer. It is already pushing us to break free of consensus thinking, step away from the crowd, walk our own talk. Over the next couple of months Mars will bring out the maverick is us that wants to go our own way. Stop following 'society'. Be yourself.
The danger of Mars here is a huge chip on the shoulder re rules and authority. Better to avoid that kind of adolescent, knee jerk rebellion - it merely creates conflict without resolution. Another lesson of Gemini is there is always more than one way to look at things. While going your own way- we can still hold space for other points of view.
The last thing (I promise) being affected by this New Moon is our relationships. As choices are being made - and lines as being drawn - sometimes we still can't decide which side of the fence we want to land on.
Venus- planet of love and relating (and money) and marker for
the ‘feminine’ - will soon be sitting opposite Mars - which represents our more outer drives for action and self actualization including our sexual desires.
This is a highly polarized yin/yang stand off between the masculine and feminine approach. Mars - marker for the ‘masculine' - brings high reactivity in the coming months. Venus is at the last degree of Cancer - where it wants nurturing and reassurance. It seeks to connect in
an intimate way to secure a sense of connection. In Leo- where the rest of the opposition will occur- Venus demands respect and needs to be treated well. She wont put up with poor behaviour.
Mars in Aquarius is all about freedom and
space and will resist any demands or efforts to contain and control. This 'battle of the sexes' could insert some juiciness as well as potential strain into our relationship
dynamics. We all know opposites attract. The need for clear
communication is very strong under a Gemini New Moon - and is the message to move forward with. No lying - no cheating - no avoiding. Honesty will get you to the truth (or a truth).
With both Mars and Venus in tension with Uranus (the Awakener) - events have the possibility to be very triggering; as sudden incidents change our direction unexpectedly.
Remember to STOP (Stop Think Observe Proceed)
Feel down into your body. Try to
access your true emotions rather than knee jerk reactions. Ultimately, it is about staying present in the midst of uncertainty and confusion- knowing that we are the creators of our own reality. As you think- so you are!
Remember who you are.
You know you want to.
We are stardust.
We are golden.
And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden.
