Another New Moon in Gemini on 19th June (16:02 BST), giving us a second chance to deal with the energy delivered by the cosmic twins.
In the backdrop, we have the Uranus-Pluto square becoming exact on 24th June. Some astrologers believe that its effect have already been felt as early as last year, but with it forming an exact square this month, it will be interesting to observe what the 'earthy reflection' of this potent aspect will be. Could it be rioters elevating their demonstrations ('Occupy Wall Street' style) to a higher level, displaying their anger, hatred and distrust (Uranus in Aries) against those in authoritative roles in the government or financial institutes (Pluto in Capricorn). We also have the Euro Crisis on the table, with a number of countries begging for a bailout from the EU. Whatever the outcome, it will have a rippling effect on the rest of the world, so noone escapes this unscathed, though it is a matter of getting a slight bruise, or a stab in the stomach.
On that 'cheerful' note, how can we make the most of the Gemini New Moon this month?
Neptune in Pisces square the nodal axis is urging us to have trust in the Universe and practise the art of surrender. There is only so much we can do before we admit to ourselves that there are times when the situation is simply beyond our control, so the last thing you can do is just give it all to the Universe and ask for its intervention. Surrender and release.
On an individual level, with an array of planets in the air sign of Gemini (New Moon at 28 degrees 43 minutes, Venus retrograding in Gemini conjunct the South Node and Jupiter), we are called to give our belief system a big spring clean and ask ourselves what we really value in our lives. Some of us may get fed up with the global difficulty we are all in and get tempted to look for short-cuts (tapping into the shadow sides of Gemini, e.g. trickery). Unfortunately, with Mars in Virgo and Saturn in Libra, square and trine the new moon respectively, along with Pluto in retrograde quincunx Venus in retrograde, we are asked to keep our integrity intact and work through our issues by playing fairly. Why not use the flexibility of Gemini to find alternative routes out of your situation instead?
NB: I would like to say a special thanks to all of you for taking the time to read my blog and giving me feedback. Unfortunately, I'm finding it difficult to reply to every single post so I apologise in advance if I don't get to answer your comment. Feel free to hop in and respond to other posters' astrological questions if you feel inspired to do so.
