This week the news features Gemini: double duty. The Mercury-ruled Gemini new moon on Monday takes place on the heels of newly Gemini Mercury’s sextile to Aries Neptune. The divine plan is actionable, and it’s got a trick up its sleeve. There’s more to this project than meets the eye.
In addition and exposition, Mercury trines retrograde Pluto in Aquarius through midday Tuesday for an intensity of sensation that affects all levels of awareness and communication. Curiosity is both dangerous and unavoidable, and it’s also the key to turning the play.
Dangerous as in delightfully dangerous. Who doesn’t want to know what’s hidden… even taboo? Knowledge changes everything.
Mercury heads into conjunction with the Sun through Thursday night: blinded by the machinations of ego, or finally seeing the light? Why not both?
Sun-ruled Leo Mars spends the week closing a square to retrograde Scorpio Juno. Expect possessiveness or jealousy to impact at least one area of your life, but consider it informative rather than a call to action. Wait till you know all there is to know. Curiosity trumps spite.
Monday morning, the Moon starts out in Venus-ruled Taurus and rolls over Uranus before heading into Gemini. The morning mood is grounded but awake — center yourself physically before heading out or opening your mouth.
The Gemini Moon goes on to sextile Aries Saturn at zero degrees and breezes over Mercury as both sextile Neptune: the mental winds of change… also, words and ideas have a strong emotional effect on real life aspirations. Influence can blur the lines of perspective. Not just words, sensations and inferences as well. Still, follow up with an ask. Enchant, but don’t forget the spell to seal the deal. The Gemini Moon moves through trine to retro Pluto and forces the hypnotic mood deep into the psyche to break up resistance.
Then the Moon conjoins the Sun, the new moon. So much goes on behind the scenes on this one, but there’s just as much to see above the horizon! We’re anchored in and ready to go. Give yourself a little speech for activation.
On Tuesday, the Gemini Moon sextiles Leo Mars then sextiles Aries Venus and Chiron, exact overnight. Midway through, Mercury perfects its trine to retro Pluto. Get going, then refine as you go. It’s an amazing day to implement your newest vision.
Wednesday’s end of Gemini Moon conjoins Jupiter for a final boost of new moon energy. Broadcast your intentions, or at least get juiced up on inspiration. The Moon then moves to Moon-ruled Cancer and squares to Saturn and Neptune. Downshift and scale back till you find your groove; it’s there.
Thursday, the Cancer Moon trines retro Juno as Mars continues to square it. In this case, feeling in control can soften the tension. That’s not the same as being controlling, but sometimes it helps to remind yourself who’s the boss of you (you). Mercury conjoins the Sun by night, and the Moon squares Venus-Chiron through Friday morning. Sometimes you just have to call it a day and let things sink in.
Friday morning, the Moon finishes up in Cancer with a complete Chiron square and a sextile to Taurus Uranus. Find a new twist and try something different. Get out of the rut! Afternoon takes the Moon into sunny Leo and a trine to Saturn and Neptune.
Reality morphs with the mood as drama melts into creative inspiration. “Nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.” (Shakespeare)
The Moon moves on to oppose Pluto, and a little night magic is in order. Air feeds a rolling fire that follows us through the dark. Follow what feeds you.
Monday night’s new moon takes place at 6 degrees Gemini. Where does that hit your chart?
