New Moon in Gemini  

Tuesday 16 June 2015

Moving on from last month’s New Moon in Taurus where we slowed down and got into the earthy realm, we now move into a New Moon in the sign of Gemini. As these New Moon activities take place every month it guides and points us into a new direction of things to be observed and integrated into our lives. So on 16^th June 2015 we will be witnessing a New Moon in the sign of Gemini, and also a few days later on Monday 22 June, we shall be witnessing the summer solstice where the sun will enter 0° Cancer. This is a time of new beginnings as Cancer is a cardinal sign, so this will energise and add more of a kick to the New Moon in Gemini taking place six days before. So what does this mean for you? And how will it affect you?

Well Gemini is the sign of the twins, the double or the dual part of us. On an everyday level, Gemini can be very restless, inquisitive and can be reluctant to be identified with just one direction or viewpoint. Gemini is an air sign, and as such is very free with lots of movement to its nature, Gemini resents being trapped by obligations which curtail the freedom to explore and exchange ideas. So this is what Gemini essentially is about. It’s about the ability to communicate, exchange ideas and connect from one-dimension to another. This is why many people who have strong Gemini traits in their birth charts are very happy working in fields such as research, communications, media, teaching and even travelling.

The Gemini energy and consciousness is very movable and is capable of multitasking. As such, there is a tendency to get bored very easily. So with the New Moon in Gemini we can expect all of these things to be magnified. So with this New Moon in Gemini you can expect the new beginning of intellectual and learning activities to be stimulated. You can expect to be engaging in lots of conversations, gossip and talks with siblings, close friends and neighbours. You can expect more mental activity than any other time of the year, especially since the planet that rules Gemini which is Mercury, is also in the sign of Gemini at present, and Mercury came out of retrograde on the 11^th of this month meaning that the planet Mercury is moving forward and direct so this is bound to add more stimulation to the Gemini New Moon.

You may find yourself starting to study more and doing things like reading and writing or preparing for an examination. This is a great time when you can develop a very strong and intellectual pursuit. You will find yourself seeking mental stimulation and your mind will become very active and alert on all levels. You will become very communicative and you will find yourself easily being able to grasp things because your mind is hungrier for knowledge and a new kind of perception takes place. Very often during this phase people tend to think about going back to school, university or taking up some kind of learning course. You will find yourself becoming much more expressive in your communication, even if you are not very verbal; this is a time when your verbal communication is very active.

You will also notice that you will become much more sociable around this time, whether it is with friends, colleagues or close family members, this is an activity which is guaranteed. It is also a time when talents that you possess that lay dormant will now come to the surface of your consciousness and you become much more aware of them and express them too. This is the time when you are more thoughtful, perceptive and studious. So there will be a lot more writing, studying and reading, and all things that have to do with correspondence because Gemini is the sign of corresponding, so things like signing of papers and contracts, buying and selling, exchanging and lots of commuting within your local area.

It is a time when you can be made to feel more restless than other times in your life. So during this New Moon in Gemini period make sure that you are mindful of your mental and intellectual activities. You will be prone to talk incessantly and switch from topic to topic on a whim. It is a great time to take advantages of your quick-wittedness and fast thinking. It is a great time to draw on your creative and resourceful ideas and mobilise them so they can be of great benefit. It is a good time to use your skills of communication to your advantage whether through negotiation or getting somebody to see your point of view.

Although you may be feeling a little bit restless during this particular period, it is a very exciting time as you will be learning so much from jumping from one thing to another in such a short space of time. And because it is a time of mental stimulus, make sure you do not fall into the trap of superficial gossiping as that can become a vice. Do enjoy your wonderful and exciting conversations with new social groups, and enjoy the new things that you are bound to learn during this period as it will expand your horizons and your mental perception.
