June 4, 2016 — The New Moon in Gemini today is extremely rare and potent. The Sun and Moon are joining Venus to form a mutable Grand Cross configuration, along with Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter. Today is truly a culmination of the past few months, bringing together many of our past lessons. This New Moon is marking the start of a fresh chapter of manifestation as we combine clarity with truth, fantasy with practicality. Through the balance of these oppositional energies, we may find ourselves perfectly in the center. Like the spoke of a wheel, we could figure out how to reside in the core of our genuine being. This means that no matter how terrible our circumstances or internal states, we can relax and trust these opportunities for growth. We can surrender our attachments, return to love, and rise to meet the wisdom in all of it.

There are a few ways we could take advantage of this auspicious alignment. As wisdom merges with intellect, we may try to observe ourselves and others more honestly. We could meditate on what we have been trying to create over the past several months and determine how we could realistically combine our inspiration with what is truly possible. If we are feeling stretched or splayed, we could muster courage to release unrealistic dreams, or to finally heal wounds around self-worth or attachment. Then we could step onto a more grounded path, aligned with our true purpose.

If we have been holding onto old loves or unable to release resentments, now we might feel our misconceptions falling away, sloughed off in a bath of Pisces' gentleness, Virgo's realism, Gemini's intelligence, and the wisdom of Sagittarius. Ultimately, the stars are pushing us to awaken to our true nature. This crystalline formation reflects our own diamond-like wakefulness, as we are discovering the indestructible parts of ourselves, beneath ego-clinging and self-doubt.

How fortunate that our paths of awakening are now tethered to the pace of Mercury's flight. We may stop and feel grateful for this chance to join together on a powerful path of fruition and manifestation.
