Thursday, June 6, 2024, at 5:38 am PDT the moon rejoins the Sun in Gemini starting a new cycle. This lunar month will have an intensity of change with five planets in Gemini. Plenty of mutable energy for change! And not any easy change either, with Saturn in Pisces it squares Venus, the moon and sun within a tight 2 degree orb. This presents challenges in our ability to articulate ourselves, perceptions can be twisted with emotionally intense undercurrents that strain our greater desire for clarity and knowing the facts. A Saturnian figure of authority may manipulate the vision or larger picture, so getting the facts can require much diligence to retrieve. If it is not an external authority figure, it is a restriction within yourself presenting a confusing inner dialog that you are trying to work out.
A lot of mutable energy to navigate. Mercury in Gemini symbolically shows our eagerness to connect socially, though Mercury is heading into the beams of the sun there is still something that we have yet to connect with from our needing to know the answers in order to feel like we understand the universal flow. Mercury is the key planet this lunar month. It is the archetype of youth, communication, perception, and moving things along, releasing stuck energy from an archetypal consideration. Jupiter is separating from the recent trine aspect with Pluto in Aquarius and in hindsight we may see how information or comedy can swiftly transform our thoughts and our outlook. How might you bring humor in more often?
With Neptune in Pisces at 29 degrees we have a conclusion of sorts that plays out this month through to the full moon in Capricorn after the sun enters Cancer on June 20th. At the summer solstice we will find that what we have been thinking, and writing, may bloom something long desired, the energy changes within us bring us new experiences. Yet, still embedded within these new experiences is something from the past that is again visible. It may appear in a different form, in a different person, but there are clues that it can now come forward to offer another opportunity to learn it in a new way and perhaps a new choice is made.
The south node Libra with Venus in Gemini is like a double mirror, what is flowing in our relationships has threads for us to analyze, it is up again for what it is we need to learn. What threads of the past in your relationships flow in the present moment? Are you still curious to know yourself deeper? Look close at your relationships, they are the windows to perspectives of yourself being reflected.
Perhaps it is this writing that we embark upon in our journals that prompts our new curiosity. We may realize in the next week or so what we have felt stuck on, overwhelmed with has moved some with all the mutable energy and we have new inspiration to let our imaginations explore new ideas. Instincts are where we are invited to give our attention to the North Node in Aries. We may find new energy to reach out in our social circles, and even learn something new. We may still feel we do not have the answers from recent events that will ease our confusing feelings yet, but we have a sense we are getting closer to new insights that illuminate our path. Sometimes simple curiosity and returning to our inner child can initiate the movement we have yearned for in the past month.
Mars in Aries is available for energy to burn or to allow anger to be channeled into something creative. How might your instincts show up in the paint on canvas these next few days as Mars finishes the transit in Aries. Mars enters Taurus on June 9th, bringing Mars into the domain of Venus. Our sensual natures will have Mars passions with slower burns.
Venus and Mercury enter the sign of Cancer on June 17th, with both planets in a water sign will amplify our thoughts, perceptions and communications centered around our needs, our focus will be on how we feel about it and it will be more about our magnetizing what we wish to experience knowing that it comes from within us first in how we feel. Our self care routines will be increasingly important come mid June. Consider the journal prompts asking yourself “What may I give myself that will support how I am feeling right now?” Until June 17th, we have more Yang energy to work with and outwardly express.
Gemini is a duality sign, it shows us the two or even two times two. Look around where are the twins in your life? What might you be learning from the twins archetype? In your quiet curious moments consider the duality of your relationships and what the sign means in your awareness. Do you have identical twins or perhaps fraternal twins in your circle of family and friends? What do you think of when you interact with twins? Do their differences help you to tell them apart, or perhaps their differences are easily visible on the surface yet you ponder their twin nature from different points of view? How they are deeply connected and interact. It is such a curious thing to ponder, especially for the souls who made the choice to be born together in that sibling dynamic. The life stories of twins in astrology are always a deeply interesting subject as it gives us such a unique lens into soul and soul journeys. May this month invite you to get a new angle view of Self that helps you rediscover or uncover the twins of your inner zodiac.
