Gemini New Moon, Transforming Your Thoughts Into Freedom
The new moon or dark side of the moon in astrology, expresses new beginnings within the sign that the Sun and Moon are coupled together at a particular degree, this event currently takes place in the inquisitive and chatty sign of Gemini. Ruling the third house, the chameleon of the zodiac, Gemini, is known for its fifty shades of colourful personality and adaptability. This clever and quick-witted sign governs the intellect, communication and how we process information. With Gemini, life is always in motion, feeling unencumbered by cares and responsibilities, it ignites its passion through ideas, with the expression of implementing those ideas into creative projects, especially through journaling and writing. This fast-paced sign is spontaneous, diverse, light-hearted and playful, Gemini is curious and seeks adventure through stimulated thought, listening and its connection to others intellectually.
Gemini is a dual sign, symbolising the twins as one mortal body and the other immortal, its versatile and changeable demeanour often sparks interest within its environment, especially as many critiques this as a split personality, however, it imbues a discrepancy of the dual attributes as how one is seen, rather than how one really expresses them-self... As Gemini is known to do everything in two’s, it is no surprise that the Gemini new moon expresses itself at twenty-two degrees, symbolic of two’s. The numerology of twenty-two degrees speaks of the master builder and laying stable, strong foundations within one’s own life, however it all begins with a strategic thought, and the execution of a plan (Gemini)…
This Gemini new moon seeks balance through the intellect, listening and communication, you may experience an active and chatty mind during the process as your awareness will be heightened, providing clarity towards any new opportunities presented to you. Gemini new moon is all about your connections, it’s a good time to be social, interacting and exchanging ideas and information with others, especially with regards to social media and the internet. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself moving from one thing to another in a short span of time, even within the same day, Gemini is a mutable sign, encouraging change and flexibility, you will have less resistance if you flow with its energy.
Gemini’s ruling planet Mercury, the messenger of the Gods, represents a major role at the time of the new moon as he vocalises the acceptance of change, movement and transformation. Mercury in Cancer at 2 degrees, provides a wide orb to the Gemini new moon, however, its connection will impact on four other aspects of the zodiac, linking the Sun and Moon in Gemini. Mercury in Cancer is in opposition to Saturn in Capricorn, this may invoke emotional and sensitive memories from the past for your work through, particularly with regards to home and family. While it will feel serious and remind you to claim responsibility for your part, use this energy to move through a pattern, instead of becoming its prisoner, remember, Gemini is a light-hearted energy and much healing can be gained from this aspect, along with the square (challenge) aspect connecting Mercury in Cancer into Chiron (the wounded healer) in Aries. Chiron is the son of Saturn, therefore his appearance here imparts the pain within and unresolved issues-healing is expressed through communication, if someone isn’t available to converse with, journal or write a letter then dispose of it through one of the elements, its message will be received by the recipient.
The Sun/Moon will be inconjunct (foreign to each other) aspect to Pluto in Capricorn-transformation of your thoughts. This aspect is one of acceptance, it encourages empowerment through communication, especially with regards to leadership. Pluto represents control and dictatorship, it has a possessive and intimidating demeanour, often disempowering if you allow it. Words are extremely important and powerful, especially when it comes to self-expression, how do you think and verbalise about you? Often the way we externalise is our internal thought process! Allow for change, claim your power, be playful and childlike (Gemini) transform your thinking and yourself, it’s a powerful time to be heard… make a statement-impacting with your voice and have fun…
Mercury in Cancer is sextile (harmonious aspect) to Uranus in Taurus, what an amazing aspect this presents at the time of the new moon. These two celestial energies implement the genius within, enhancing ideas with the connection to the higher realms of intelligence, the gift is the bigger picture, inspiring forward momentum. Take the journey into unchartered terrains, explore without towing the line as unconventional opportunities are presented to you. Don’t ask for permission from yourself, just do it! It will transform your life promoting healing, individuality, interdependence and freedom.
