Astrological Impact of Mars in Gemini - Brandishing Your Lexicon Sword With Care
Mars enters Gemini on 28th June at 20:29 BST/29th June 03:29 HKT, and will stay there until 11th August.
Mars is peregrine in Gemini, but has dignity by term between 17-24 degrees, which translates to 22nd July to 2nd August.
Mars shows our action, our temperament, our energy level, our bravery. Gemini is a mentally-agile sign, when Mars is in this mutable air sign, expect:
- Your actions and passion to be quick, impulsive and changeable
- Your energy level can be somewhat scattered, restless, hopping from one idea to another like a grasshopper. Watch out for half-finished projects as you leap from one task to another when it no longer mentally stimulates you.
- To fight with your words, as your tongue turns into a weapon, with words tumbling out at lightning speed. In Gemini, it may mean nothing much to you, but the one at the receiving end of your angry words may feel rather hurt
Be mindful that from 29th/30th June, Mars' ruler, Mercury, will go retrograde. It's one thing to be brave verbally and mentally, but when its ruler is in retrograde, perhaps taking a quick pause is a good idea, as acting at lighting speed can have its consequences, and the last thing we want is to live with regrets. This may also be a good time to review your past actions, your past battles that you wished you hadn't fought, or words you wished you hadn't uttered.

Astrological Impact of Sun in Cancer: Searching for a Place Called Home
It's Cancer Season!
The Sun enters Cancer 21st June at 09:24 BST/16:24 HKT, marking the Summer Solstice - the start of the summer season.
What's the focus this month?
The Sun is peregrine in Cancer, with no other dignities. The Sun represents our core personality - our solar energy, our ray of light, our confidence. Ultimately, being self-sufficient is the goal, and that is not just financially, but also mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Cancer represents home life, family, nurturance, and a sense of belonging. Do you feel pressured to build your own home, or to be a mother? Perhaps you have build yourself a home but is struggling to maintain it or to live under it in peace. Or you feel emotionally malnourished? These could all have origins in our childhood. Previous transits of Venus and Mercury in Cancer from 19th May and 1st June respectively got us thinking about these Cancerian issues. Now that the Sun is finally in Cancer, it further highlights these topics. Whatever it is for you, give yourself the time and space to retreat if life is getting to you. Allow the solar light to shine on those hidden emotions. Declutter if necessary. For those frantically searching for a place called home, remember, home is where the heart is.

Astrological Impact of New Moon in Gemini 2026 - A Logical Way to Tackle Hurtful Words
Hurtful Words
Have you ever had endless replays of conversations where someone attacks you with hurtful words but you weren't quick enough to say something clever back? Then 24 hours later, you come up with a million different comebacks but it's just a tad late. The torture continues as you replay the original scene and those hurtful words enter your mind over and over again.
A Buddy's Anecdote
I have a friend with a Gemini stellium in the 12th house (including the luminaries and Mercury), who shocked me with her confession that she had been suffering from these verbal replays. She always appears to be so positive and cheerful, so I wouldn't have thought she would be one of those people. She said that she would mentor herself and then arrive at the conclusion that, for example, 'XX said this to me and it made me mad, it's just their opinion and it really need not affect me.' When I first heard it, I was utterly impressed by its simplicity - how Gemini! I'm the worst at these verbal replays and since then, I began to put it to the test and learned to develop the resilience to shrug off any negativity thrown my way. Transmute it to love and return it to the sender.
The New Moon in Gemini on 15th June at 24 degrees 03:54 BST/10:54 HKT makes me wonder what the lunar goddess wants us to learn in this cycle?
Transits for New Moon in Gemini
Mercury is the ruler of this new moon. Mercury placed in Cancer is not strong at all. At first glance, we see Mercury is in a wide conjunction with Jupiter, the greater benefic. However, I'm sad to report that Mercury will never catch up with Jupiter in an exact conjunction. The closest distance between them is just under 5 degrees. After that, Mercury will go retrograde at 26 degrees and by then, Jupiter leaves Cancer. Additionally, Mercury is in a separating square with Saturn.
It is interesting to see that this new moon makes no major aspects with any other planets. It is purely a standalone conjunction, with no other interference to affect its expression.
Main Theme
In Gemini, the mental faculties are highlighted. This new moon asks us to have fresh beginnings in how to be solution-focused (Gemini) rather than taking everything personally (Cancer). We are also reminded to be mindful of how our words (Gemini) can impact our listeners' emotions (Cancer). Be on 'Gemini-mode' and process emotionally-charged words in a logical way. Their words do not define the real you.
As my friend puts it, 'Life is a journey of self-improvement'. Perhaps I should thank those nasty peeps who hiss those words at me so I can grow spiritually...
