On the heels of the Gemini New moon, the coast is clear for creating new and fresh intentions. Gemini helps us to easily move through old patterns and blockages which may be holding us back. To aid that process of opening up to new possibilities, I offer this wonderful poem and excerpt from Dawna Markova (book link below).💖
I will not die an unlived life
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living […]

This week we have a Gemini New Moon with Sun, Moon and Mercury all in Gemini, the sign of curiosity and experimentation. Mercury rules Gemini so that in itself is a double whammy of Geminian busyness and interesting conversations. Communication, writing and information processing of all sorts is highlighted now. This is an especially good week for writers as Saturn interactions help to provide the focus and discipline we need to tackle those projects we may have been putting off.
Saturn […]
A New Moon in Gemini, the sign of communication and experiences, offers an opportunity for a new perspective. The ruler of the New Moon is Mercury, the messenger planet, adding to the focus on communication and adaptation. In mythology, Mercury was the only god who was able to travel back and forth to the Underworld, facilitating communication between the gods. Mercury-ruled Gemini teaches us to accept and integrate a wide variety […]
Mars in Aries. The instinct for self-preservation is a critical one for the survival of a human individual the role of Mars is to preserve the Self and to gratify desire. Mars is particularly strong when in the sign of Aries, and Mars will enter Aries on Tuesday May 24. While in Aries, Mars is at its most potent and the aggressive force is permitted full expression, unhampered by the niceties of signs like Libra […]

If you missed yesterday’s post on the Gemini Solar Eclipse you can catch up here.
The solar eclipse occurred this morning at 6:52 am EDT (please adjust for your location), but the effects will continue to linger for several days. This eclipse is loaded with the effect of Mercury – the planet of thought and communication. Mercury is said to rule the “small mind” – not in terms of being inferior in any way, but Mercury deals with matters of the personal. What are we thinking, how […]
This Solar Eclipse at the Gemini New Moon marks a brand new beginning and a fresh start. All New Moons mark the beginning of the lunar cycle, and a New Moon at the first degree of a sign carries its own signature of a new beginning. Gemini is the sign of awakening the mind: the mental curiosity that takes us into new experiences and new ways of looking at the world.
This New Moon is an eclipse because it occurs near the Nodes of the Moon […]
Currently we have a stellium, or cluster, of planets in Gemini including Mercury, Venus, and the Sun. The North Node just moved into Gemini, accentuating this sign even more and accentuating the importance of the positive traits of Gemini which include curiosity, flexibility, adaptability. When the Moon moves into Gemini as well and aligns with the Sun on May 22nd, the New Moon will generate a burst of energy to facilitate a new beginning that is based upon new ideas and an openness to […]
The Moon is new on June 3rd in the sign of Gemini. Gemini is the sign of the twins and finds pleasure in the embrace of dual views that may seem incompatible but which actually enhance our nature and help us to grow and evolve. The more we understand about who we are, the more effective we can be in our lives and Gemini accomplishes this through attracting experiences through which we change and take on new characteristics and qualities. Under the sign of […]
Art by Lucy Campbell. The New Moon in Gemini on June 13th calls on us to we have a unique opportunity to create change and become more adaptable to new ideas and new ways of living our life; to learn the inner strength that an increase in flexibility can offer us. Gemini is a shapeshifter and easily modifies obstacles and helps to activate the mind to embrace experiences that change us. It encourages us to shift the way we perceive our own lives through experiencing our lives […]
Nearly everyone now has heard of Mercury retrograde, thanks to the Internet. This is a good thing for those of us who follow the planets, because it’s easier to explain why we would rather wait until Mercury is out of retrograde to sign that contract. But because of the way we view the motion of the planets from Earth, all of the planets in our solar system and our astrological pantheon have retrograde cycles. In fact, the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) are viewed in retrograde motion for approximately half […]
