Hi everyone! On the Gemini road to adventure!
Wow! We’re
travelling in the light of the Gemini Sun, seeking travel, movement...and dare I
say ‘adventure’! It’s been challenging to get to the movement with Mars pulling
us back into a holding pattern.
Some of us
may be feeling like we’re still dragging ourselves along as we continue with the
purification process. Last week was heavy duty for plenty of us as Mars came to
a standstill, changing direction, preparing to move forward.
Physical energies returning: by the end of the
month
Hopefully
you’re starting to feel the lifting of these ‘holding’ energies on our bodies
and our physical existence. If you’re not yet back on deck, trust that the next
couple of days, after the New Moon, will see you chugging along like the little
red engine!
Mercury
now in retrograde shadow until 7th June:
Ironically,
just as Mars turns direct, Mercury has moved into retrograde shadow, preparing
to retrograde from 7th June. This means that we’ll be tracking over this
territory twice more before Mercury’s finished with us.
You may
already find difficulties, confusions and challenges occurring with technology,
communication of all kinds and of course commercial transactions.
The impact
from any planetary change of direction is most heavily impacted when it changes
direction.
What’s coming in:
This week: A New Moon in Gemini as
well as Mercury/our mind and Venus/our heart, changing signs...all on the same
day!
Heart and Mind singing the same song:
As the New Moon births!
Coming to agreement!
Leading
into the New Moon, heart and mind are in positive connection/a sextile with each
other at 29 degrees, the last degree, signifying some kind of completion for
them both.
Listen
to the song of your heart and mind:
The time
before the New Moon is a time when we are likely to receive insights, messages,
guidance providing we are open to listening and being still and quiet enough to
be in that receptive space.
With mind
and heart united, we stand every good chance of really coming to peace with
something that’s been keeping our minds and hearts at odds with each
other.
Venus and
Mercury will continue working together through the next few weeks as we focus on
our physical earthly life, our emotional security with any forward movement
dependent on clearing up outstanding past blocks to our achieving earthly
abundance.
29th May: New Moon in Gemini at 7 degrees 21 Gemini
at 4.40 am AEST...clear the mind!

Sun and Moon united:
New way of
thinking coming in! Keep the sword handy!
With a New
Moon, the Sun and Moon are on the same page, on the same degree. They’re
working together to birth a new energy, a new lunar energy for the month and for
Gemini for the next year.
Mercury
retrograde over the next month may find us re-treading ‘old’ and or
discarded ideas which may be calling for renewal, renovation, re-working. Just
trust that whatever returns can be restored or released, depending on its
current value to any forward movement.
Rebirthing the
mind: Focus on clarity and clearing any confusion!
The New Moon in Gemini
brings a fresh start for our minds, a fresh perspective with an emphasis on
adaptability, versatility and communication. Gemini energy usually ushers in a
time of clear thinking about 100 different things at once. However, we may be a little challenged with that clarity
in the next month.
Keep the sword of truth
handy and cut free the extraneous elements when you’re feeling overburdened by
worry, too many thoughts. Gemini rules the nervous system and its ruler Mercury,
is our mind. Take time out from the mental activity to connect to the
heart.
Draining off the excess: Sifting and
sorting!
With an upcoming Mercury
retrograde period, our Gemini snappy mind may find itself a little challenged by
perhaps too much information, red herrings, old ghosts dogging our footsteps in
accessing our mental acuity. Keep clearing the excess which is clogging the
thinking channel.
New Moon in square/challenge to Neptune in Pisces:
Swimming through confusion!
The higher vision calls!
The New
Moon comes in with a challenge that can uplift us spiritually, artistically and
emotionally OR take us into a confusing mass of tangled emotions. Pisces is the
collective unconscious. Dive into the water and experience a new way of looking
at your life and call in a new vision!
Keeping
the Gemini ‘twins’ together!
Synchronised swimming!
The Gemini
‘twins’, the masculine and feminine, need to be working together as we swim
through this ocean of consciousness. Neptune opens up higher visions and a more
evolved expression of the infinite possibilities of the broader canvas available
to us. What picture will you paint for yourself and your life?
Gemini is about self-love, symbolised by ‘the
lovers’ tarot card:
What are you worth to you?
With Venus
moving into Taurus, we couldn’t have a better time to get in touch with the
self-love, self-worth, self-esteem we need to hold as we reach for our
entitlement to abundance on all levels.
Our
masculine/feminine energies are travelling in the same vehicle, emanating love
for each other arising from our a deep love and acceptance of themselves. It is
through this balance, harmony and peace within ourselves, we can contact the
deep love and acceptance of our lives, of our worth. The abundant flow is
opened up as we experience the reconciliation of lost and unresolved aspects
which have kept us from earthly and spiritual fulfilment.
Floating the dreams:
Let the curious Gemini
mind take you to new vistas!
We’re
birthing into a new consciousness and with the New Moon in Gemini, we’re looking
for a razor sharp mind whilst embracing our childlike Gemini curiosity. In
Gemini time, both sides of our being, inner/outer, passive/active,
feminine/masculine need to be in balance.
Mind
tripping time:
Expand your thinking outside any rigid personal parameters of
confinement!
Gemini is
an air sign, a sign of the mind and our mental propensities. We’re being called
to jump in a balloon and let it take us to new ways of viewing the world, of
viewing our personal world.
Imagination
is alive and well:
Crazy ideas offer crazy solutions!
Inventive avenues come
to the fore!
The current
energies along with this New Moon are offering a breakout from ‘stuckness’, from
the status quo. Don’t be surprised if you come up with some radical solutions
to long standing problems through this next month. With the Grand Water Trine
energy clearing so much emotional blockage from our lives, barriers seem to be
just falling away. The Sabian Symbol for the New Moon sums this up beautifully.
See below.
From Lynda Hill
Sabian Symbols for the New Moon: http://sabiansymbols.typepad.com/
The Sabian Symbol for
the new
Moon is
Gemini 8:
Aroused
Strikers Surround A Factory.
What is it that has you, or
others, riled up? Do you feel like just sitting down and doing nothing, or, are
you feeling like taking it to the streets, yelling and screaming against the
inequities of what's going on. I think there's going to be a lot of protesting
and complaints as the imbalances in society are getting rather too imbalanced to
be sustainable.
‘Aroused Strikers Surround a
Factory’ - they are obviously unhappy with their work, their pay or their
conditions, and they are now on ‘Strike’. In some measure, they are not putting
up with what they’re receiving for their efforts. For the moment, this has
probably stopped anyone from benefiting from anything as events have come to a
standstill. This Symbol pictures a power struggle where there is a disagreement
over how something of value is to be shared. It may be about work conditions, or
the distribution of wealth that results from what people are expected to do.
What is the incentive for putting in the effort? The ‘Strikers’ may be calm, but
all hell could break loose, turning into a full-blown demonstration with
placards, yelling and violence.
What is really needed is a
discussion over the need for one’s rights to be heard and hopefully worked out. There is
an obvious imbalance of power and now it is time to consider what negotiations
can be made. It may be difficult to find creative solutions, but that is
probably what is needed now. If you are in a situation where you need to stand
up for your rights, or entitlements, or for those of a group, you will probably
need the support of others. This could be your co-workers, friends or family.
Try to enlist the help of those who feel the same as you, but at the same time
take care to be sure that the cause is justified. There is an element of
imbalance and emotion here. Is what’s being said really being heard by those who
need to hear? Are the ‘Strikers’ asking too much? Justice can only come through
negotiation, mutual consideration and a fair sharing of rewards. Once this is
accomplished, everyone can come back together, working towards common goals in a
more satisfying atmosphere.
Keywords: Bargaining to find more equitable solutions.
Demanding better rights and conditions. Comradeship. Disruption of the normal
flow. Not wanting to contribute or work. The need to take time aside to consider
one’s position. Taking action or refusing to act. Strikes and strikers.
Demonstrations. Peace rallies. Standing up for others. Scab labor. Sweat shops.
Slave labor. Strikes. Bosses. Workers. Placard waving.
The
Caution: Being
obsessed with what is desired. Refusing any compromises. Going without one’s due
in order to protest. Being locked out of situations because of one’s actions or
attitude. Being left out in the street. Greedy behavior. Asking for more than
one’s share. Being overworked and underpaid. Shutting down.
29th May: Venus moves into Taurus
at 11.45 am AEST...love, abundance and
fulfilment!
until
23rd June
Mother Earth is calling our hearts to love:
love of our physical earthly lives!
Venus is the ruler of Taurus as well as Libra. When she returns to
Taurus, she is a calling us to get in touch with our heartfelt connection with
our physical existence on earth.
Are you open to receive absolute abundance?
Letting go of ‘blocks’ to receiving the love and abundance
of the earth
Mother Earth is calling our hearts to open to our entitlement to
abundance. We have aspects, beliefs, memories of our less conscious selves from
this or other lives which can pull us out of the flow of abundance. Judgmental
attitudes towards ourselves or others regarding entitlement or worthiness will
block us from being in the universal flow of abundance.
Venus rules love and money: Call in love and let
the abundance flow!
Take extra time to connect to beauty, love and harmony during this
time until 23rd June. Feel the protective love of Mother Earth who takes care
of us.
Let go of the worry, fear and insecurity which drives away the flow
of abundance.
Venus comes home: Make the most of this beautiful
energy!
Uplift hearts to embrace the magnanimity of earth’s abundance and
cut free of any limiting thoughts and emotions. More love, more
life!
29th May: Mercury moves into Cancer at 7.11 pm AEST...we’re travelling
by water...together!
until
17th June
Emotional connection with family, soul
family, home and emotional security: Connecting to loved ones!
Mercury
launches into the waters of Cancer, not it’s most comfortable place as this
placement calls for our minds to connect to our emotions. We’re called to talk
about, think about, feel our emotions and express our emotions to loved ones.
Where is
your home, where do you belong:
Memories come forward to help us find what
comforts our soul!
Cancer is a
home and family energy. It calls us to find our deepest security, our place of
belonging whether at work or home. Cancer rules memories and the past, so it’s
likely that we’ll be looking back to comforting and happy times which gave us a
sense of place and belonging. With Mercury taking us back to the past from the
7th, this revisiting of the past, of our roots, ancestry, home and family is
doubled in intensity. We’ll be looking to the past to resolve any discomfort in
the present. It’s back to grassroots in more ways than one!
Problem
solving:
Paying attention to our emotions, our responses and
reactions!
Mercury,
our mind energy, likes to solve problems through the intellect. In Cancer, he’s
called to his inner voice, his intuitive guidance, his gut instinct to come to
grips with the emotions which can lift us up or take us down. This is all about
mental awareness of what’s happening to us emotionally. When we’re aware of our
emotional connection/disconnection to the world, we’re in a good position to
negotiate the waters of change.
After the
New Moon:
Mind and heart focussed on physical and emotional
comfort
Venus and Mercury in the new signs of Taurus and
Cancer respectively:
Physical and emotional comfort come
to importance!
Taurus is about our physical comfort and enjoyment of
the earth and our earthly existence and Cancer is about home, family and
emotional security and comfort.
A push for a more fulfilling life on earth:
Gemini Sun shines on our efforts as minds and
hearts are stimulated to find peace, joy and abundance!
In the next few weeks, we’ll be putting extra energy
into getting our emotional and physical worlds into a place of comfort and
security within ourselves. This focus may take us into exploring new areas of
investigation which will fulfil our hopes and desires with respect to home,
family, work and money.
This card
and message from Isha Lerner conveys so much of the Gemini energy. The power of
single pointed thinking and focus!

Ace of Swords When the Ace of Swords appears for you, tap into your power of one-pointed thinking. Seize hold of your divine will and yield it as a tool to vanquish negative thoughts. Remember that to live by fate is to be controlled by circumstances beyond your control. To "follow your destiny" is to honor your spiritual heritage and recognize that you came into this world for a clear purpose. By removing the sword from the stone, you are learning to explore your mental powers. The stone itself is the resistance of oppressive conditions. This card can indicate the birthing of a new way of thinking and the demise of illusions. It may signify the start of an intellectual project, the writing of a book or the beginning of a journey. |

That’s it
folks! We’re on the road again with the Gemini energies lining up!
Sure,
steady and thorough: HOWEVER, the road won’t be necessarily
straightforward as Mercury is in retrograde shadow, then into retrograde
movement on 7th. As well, Mars is still in retrograde shadow until mid July.
Mars and Mercury are the energies which keep us moving in our physical world, so
we can assume there will be some forwards, backwards movement and taking things
at a steady speed rather than full bore hectic! Not such a bad thing after
all. At least, these energies will ensure we are sure, steady and
thorough.
Float the
dreams, dive to the depths and keep that vehicle moving with regular tea/coffee
breaks on the way. The heart will hold us and the mind once harnessed can keep
us focussed!
Love and
blessings everyone! We are creating abundance for all on this planet despite
the wall of resistance from the status quo.
