26° Gemini 43'

June 17, 2023 — Our minds, imaginations, and fantasies are very active as the Gemini New Moon forms on Saturday. The Moon is squaring Neptune while Mercury (Gemini’s ruler) is in his natural domicile, sextiling Venus in Leo. With Juno close-by, commitment is on the table. However, Neptune’s thick fog is obscuring our clarity.

Are we believing stories that aren’t true? Diving into over-idealism? What’s fact, and what’s fiction?

The planets are imploring us to slow down and focus on meditation and our inner work. We can find the proper balance between conjuring our dreams and taking practical steps to make them real. Accepting harsh truths could be key to manifesting our beautiful visions of what could be.

For artists and romantics, this is a beautiful lunation. Neptune is infusing us with dreaminess, creativity, and spiritual potentials. Wilder souls can thrive in the influx of inspiration and ideas.

On the other hand, Mercury squaring Saturn is keeping us from losing ourselves in fantasy. Some of us could be feeling mentally sluggish, depressed, or overwhelmed by our active minds. If we drop into spacious awareness, we can find equilibrium—allowing excitement, new insights, and potentials to flood in, while also keeping our feet firmly planted in realism. We can take note of what’s emerging from the fog without becoming too swept away.

We may notice our lives taking interesting turns as our minds shift and we become more careful in deciding where to focus our attention. If we’re making inspired yet practical decisions, calming our nervous systems, and employing patience, a world of possibility will open up. The planets are leading us to a new reality that makes us feel like our dreams are coming true, as long as we continue to generate great imagination, effort, and patience.

GEMINI NEW Moon Aspiration

On this Gemini New Moon, may we ground into our bodies while feeling our dreams swell. May we harness the Moon’s creative energy so that we can make art or necessary changes, expanding our fields into greater possibility.
