New Moon in Gemini – Perspectives and Focus

This New Moon falls in the sign of the heavenly twins, Gemini. The sign of Gemini holds the treasure of words, and their original magical potential. Gemini teaches us how to hold multiple perspectives at once, lest we become trapped in dogma. The storyteller aspect of Gemini reveals how we can weave words, thoughts and perspectives together to tell a story, and how to find ourselves in the larger scheme of things. The thoughts we hold in our minds, and the stories we tell become the arc of our lives, unfolding as part of our fates until the mind spell is broken, and we take back the responsibility and power we have to write our own stories.

The ruler of the Sun and Moon in Gemini is Mercury in the sign of the Crab, Cancer. In the watery depths of Cancer, Mercury is drawn into emotional under and over tones. Feeling into thoughts, words and stories, and thinking in emotion. The emotional driver and content of our minds, and the narrative of our lives, stretching from childhood experiences to family history, to our ancestry and back to life’s watery beginnings, inform us of where we need to look to begin emotionally shifting the contents of our mind, and the parts of ourselves that we need to nourish and nurture.

Emotional and practical concerns and dissonances are highlighted at this New Moon. The Sun and the Moon is loosely squaring Neptune, adding to the emotional tone of this New Moon. Neptune can bring inspiration, but also add confusion into the mix, facilitating a pull between the mind and logic, and the emotions and the heart.

Saturn in Capricorn opposed to Mercury in Cancer suggests that a realistic and practical worldly measure will be held up against the content of our minds, our dreams and what we long for. Saturn here scrutinizes and holds up limitations and boundaries, forcing us to examine our perspectives, our stories and our focus. The lesson, and seeming harshness of Saturn can help us to refine and understand the real world results of the stories that run our lives, and where and how we can introduce some more discipline and awareness into our mental lives.

At this New Moon we can hold ourselves with gentleness and care, becoming responsible parents to our own inner story, and our outer world experience. It is a propitious time to set intentions around authoring your own life, growing seeds of positive thoughts and mind space, and setting boundaries around your emotional and mental space.

Happy New Moon in Gemini!
