Gemini New Moon

Happy Birthday Gemini! Sunday, May 24th brings us a Gemini New Moon. The Sun and Moon are at 3 degrees Gemini in trine aspect to the north node in Aquarius and in square to Ceres in Virgo, while Mercury,the planetary ruler of Gemini is in retrograde motion in the first earth sign, Taurus, which is in square aspect to Neptune, Chiron and Jupiter in Aquarius. A mouth full, huh?

This awesome configuration changes the direction of the wind, offering a breath of fresh air into fixed right-brained collective thinking inviting us to mindfully contemplate and come up with solutions for nourishing ourselves, the earth and all of humanity, and to then begin the process of bringing them into form, especially after Mercury goes direct on May 30th.

Retrograde Mercury in Taurus asks us to rest our minds and to get grounded in the body to enjoy the pleasures of life; food, family, financial abundance so the sun and moon in Gemini may bestow upon us the know-how to achieve such fulfillment. Taurus wants results, tangible stable results with the assets to back it up so it can live pleasurably. Ceres in Virgo wants to bring the harvest. Gemini is dexterous, clever and swift in gaining information, and Aquarius wants to leap forward so trust the bodymind knowledge coming to you as you enjoy the pleasant breezes blowing your way this memorial day weekend.

The shadow side of these signs goes for stubbornness, hoarding, over-analysis, fleeing, elitism, and emotional coldness just to mention a few. Issues which pertain to Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, are up now, such as stabilizing our bodies and our income. One may ask, how can I (we) create stability in times such as these while unemployment rates are skyrocketing and the economy is in turmoil?

One thing to remember as we courageously venture forth in the new millennium is that this is one of the most exciting times to be alive. So much creative energy is available to us now, meaning our thoughts, choices, and actions come to reality in the blink of an eye which is very exciting if we are aligned with our highest good. If we are dreaming of lack, fear, and difficulties they too are heard by the universe and brought forth into physical manifestation. Our minds are powerful tools which can be mastered, harnessed and directed towards creating success and sustainability.

Yes, there is enough abundance for us all, we just have to believe it and build stable and steady containers for it to flourish in. The Sabian Symbols for this Gemini new moon state, "Holly and mistletoe reawaken old memories of Christmas--A longing for the pre-intellectual state of consciousness".

Aquarian Age Update
During 2007-2008, Neptune and Chiron have been in a loose conjunction, and now they are in a very close conjunction along with Jupiter which will continue throughout 2010. In February 2010 Neptune and Chiron with be in an exact conjunction, then over the next four years, throughout 2014, they will slowly separate. These planetary configurations are leading us directly into the formation of a new world--into the Aquarian Age. "They only meet up every 57-80 years, sparking quantum leaps in medicine, technology, and social change. Add Jupiter to the pair and idealism, philanthropy, and mysticism are join into the new age matrix too". (Mountain Astrologer, May 2009 Issue)

Just for a little evolutionary taster, think back to the Jeston's cartoon (robots, monitor conversations) of thirty some years ago. Now people all over the globe are using their computers to "Skype" each other, and do what the Jetson's did not so long ago. Within a very short period of time we will see a new world folks.
