GEMINI Waning Moon

Sacred Inner Release 

Half Waning Moon at 28°GEMINI where Conscious Reasoning is key!

A time of Inner Release as the celestial month of VIRGO both began with a Gemini Waning Moon and now draws to a close with one too.

This last lunation of spring/summer leads us into a 9-month intunment where each celestial month begins with a New Moon.

This new intunment lasts from Fall Equinox to Summer Solstice of 2020. The Sabian picture symbol for this lunation degree:

THE FIRST MOCKING BIRD OF SPRING SINGS FROM THE TREE TOP. 

Our own sacred song and innate abilities are harmonized anew from the higher levels of inner existence.

With this is the last (mutable mode) lunation of Virgo Season we see the agile maneuverability throughout the whole celestial month!

Inner Release for 7 more days, leading up to the Libra New Moon. In perfect celestial time, the Half Waning Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon.

A means of looking deeply into the experiences reveals the wonderment and awe, of it all.

This is the first (mutable mode) lunation of Virgo Season. Agile inner maneuverability throughout this whole celestial month!

Moon & Venus in Gemini

New Inner Value

MOON meets VENUS at 27°GEMINI where Reasoning is key!

The constellation for this area of Gemini is URSA MAJOR; the Big Bear or Big Dipper.

All year, the two outer most stars of this dipper always point to the pole star of truth.

And the truth is... It's never too late to begin again! The Sabian picture symbol for this degree:

THROUGH BANKRUPTCY, SOCIETY GIVES TO AN OVERBURDENED INDIVIDUAL THE OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN AGAIN.

Very fitting as we prepare to begin a new (revealing inner cycle) at the New Moon and Solar Eclipse tomorrow!

If beginning anew seems like a challenge, no worries! MARS enters LEO today too, fortifying us with Courageous Action!

VENUS in GEMINI

Mindful Heart

Lady LOVE tours the GEMINI Realm of Mind through July!

A reflective time as receptive Venus explores the Gemini lessons pertaining to the structure and workings of Mind.

Lots to gain and this makes value focused Venus very pleased! Oh what teachings, may the celestial rays bring!

Moon & Mercury in Gemini

Revealing Inner Mind 

MOON meets MERCURY at 29°GEMINI 

where Outer Reasoning is key! 

Mercury met the Outer Sun upon entering its home sign of Gemini and now meets the Inner Moon just before departing.

Moods are about to shift as Mercury prepares to enter the Moon ruled Cancerian realm of feeling, later today. 

But first a wonderful reminder of how the Outer Reasoning guides us along to reveal the truest inner aspects of self.

Like the BIG DIPPER constellation for this last decan of Gemini with two stars always pointed to the Pole Star of Truth.

The BIG BEAR Reasoning faculty of Mind is the perfect compliment to the LITTLE BEAR Intuitive aspects of Mind.

The Sabian picture symbol for this last degree of Gemini reflects outer acknowledgement of these revealing inner aspects.

A procession of beautifully revealing inner aspects are easily viewed where inner existence meets the life experiences.

GEMINI New Moon

Inner & Outer Harmonization 

MOON meets the SUN at 12°GEMINI where Fidelity between the Inner & Outer aspects of Mind is key!

An ideal time for planting seeds and setting intentions as the Inner Self aligns with the Outer Self at the New Moon.

The constellation for this area of Gemini is CANIS MAJOR the great dog, the loyal hound and home of the dog star SIRIUS.

Canis Major reflects (FIDELITY) between the bears. The Lil' Bear Ursa Minor (INTUITION) and Big Bear Ursa Major (REASONING).

Mercury & Venus teach classes in this decan of Gemini. Brilliant harmonization of the Inner & Outer divisions of mind.

Sirius is the brightest star in the sky! Notable brilliance for all to see! The Sabian picture symbol for this New Moon meetup degree:

WORLD-FAMOUS PIANIST BEGINS TO PLAY TO A HUGE AUDIENCE. 

A notoriously epic harmonization occurs for all to see!

Sun & Mercury in Gemini

Outer Awareness of Mind

MERCURY meets the SUN 

as they make grand entrance into the GEMINI Realm of MIND 

When MERCURY catches the SUN its function changes as it makes the transition from morning star to evening star.

Instead of the Sun following Mercury across the sky each day, the Mind now follows closely behind the Outer Activities of the Sun.

Rather like, the Mind keeping very close tabs on the Outer Awareness, or Mercury watching the Outer Self and its every move!

Oh, the Wonderment & Awe of it ALL! Mercury keeps a watchful eye on the Sun until their next meetup in July.

MERCURY in GEMINI

Mental Agility

MERCURY makes a quick trip through his own domain of GEMINI 5/21-6/4

GEMINI is the ultimate symbol for the dual roles of mind reflected by the legendary celestial twins Castor & Pollux. 

The inner subconscious mind and the outer conscious mind; the Inner Intuition and the Outer Reasoning.

Notably, Mercury met the Outer Sun upon entering Gemini at 0° and will meet the Inner Moon upon departing at 29°.

The picture symbol for this degree at the front gate of GEMINI is a wonderful reminder for looking deeply into the experiences.

SUN in GEMINI

Dual Nature of Mind

The SUN enters GEMINI in concert with ruler of the realm MERCURY!

Ushered in by the RAM at Equinox, carried by the Celestial BULL, and now onto exploring the dual nature of mind with the Gemini TWINS.

Outer Awareness shifts from the grounded (fixed) earthy expression of TAURUS to the (mutable) air realm of thought in GEMINI.

Shifting from the fixed stabilizing energy, to that of the mutable kind, the SUN & MOON are now both geared towards maneuverability.

SUN in (mutable) GEMINI 5/21-6/21 with Fidelity for both the Conscious Reasoning and the Subconscious Intuitive areas of mind.

During this time, the Inner MOON covers the (mutable energy) expressions of all four elements; FIRE, WATER, AIR, and EARTH.

Highlights of Gemini Season

Talk about an emphasis on dual nature! Ruling MERCURY meets the Outer SUN on the very first degree of Gemini and the Inner MOON on the very last degree!

Neptune goes retrograde just a few hours before Summer Solstice and the Moon meets Saturn Rx & Pluto Rx twice during this celestial month of Gemini.

Moon & Mars in Gemini

Thoughtful Inner Action

MOON meets MARS at 24°GEMINI where Reasoning is key!

GEMINI is the sign of the Mind! The twin stars Castor and Pollux reflect the conscious and subconscious mind.

The Gemini constellation for the Reasoning faculty of Mind is URSA MAJOR, a.k.a. the Big Bear or Big Dipper.

The Intellect or (Reasoning) is the star of the show in our culture, often with very little regard for the Intuitive Mind.

What if the Reasoning Mind was really meant to assist the Intuition! The picture symbol for this meetup degree:

A GARDENER TRIMS BEAUTIFUL PALM TREES WITH UTMOST CARE. 

While cultivating the inner subconscious landscape, a means for gaining exotic knowledge is tended to with careful attentiveness.

Moon & Mars in Gemini

Intuitive Inner Action! 

MOON meets MARS in GEMINI where Intuition is key!

For this one, a prime opportunity for getting better aquainted with the IC point in the birthchart, reflecting the energetic foundation.

Birthchart Tapestry

The IC is found at the base of a chart, opposite of the MC (highest point in the sky) at birth. It's the kind of energy we feel quite comfortably grounded with.

Here the feet rest rather firmly on the Intuitive faculties of mind, with a keen awareness of the complimentary Inner & Outer aspects of Self.

A perfect follow-up to the CERES Rx Mission of Seeing the Signs! The Sabian picture symbol for this meetup degree:

AN OLD WELL, FILLED WITH PURE WATER, SHADED BY TREES. 

Deep, longstanding, pure experiences are surrounded by the inner realms of subconscious existence.

MARS in GEMINI

MARS enters GEMINI

Where the focus shifts from the Stabilizing Activities of Taurus to the Mindful Action of Gemini!

The position and placement of Mars at birth reflects how we're each uniquely motivated and what calls us to Action!

It's been quite a tour for Mars this year! Donning his crown on New Year's Eve with grand entrance into the first sign of Aries.

Giving up his crown on Valentine's Day upon entering the stabilizing (fixed earth) realm of Taurus, under the rule of Venus.

And now, on the very last day of March, embarking on a journey through the Mercury ruled, sign of the Mind!

A time and a season for everything! Mars in Gemini is the perfect time for actively following through on those ideas! 

Oh, the places we'll go! And the things we'll see! Because we never really know where the thoughts and ideas may lead!

MARS through the GEMINI Constellations:

3/31-4/15 Little Bear INTUITIVE Action
4/16-4/30 Great Dog FAITHFUL Action
5/1-5/15 Great Bear THOUGHTFUL Action

Gemini Half Waxing Moon

Inner Build Mode in Gemini

Half Waxing MOON in Gemini where Reasoning of the Conscious Mind is key

Gemini is the sign of the Mind! The twin stars Castor and Pollux reflect the conscious and subconscious mind.

The Gemini constellation for the big ole Conscious Reasoning Mind is Ursa Major; the Big Bear or Big Dipper.

Throughout every season of the year, the two outer most stars of this dipper always point to the pole star of truth.

The North Star of Truth! In the Gemini constellation of the Subconscious Intuitive Mind; the Little Bear or Little Dipper.

Yes, the whole story of mankind and his role in this magnificent creation, really appears to be written in the stars!

The Sabian picture symbol for the degree of this last lunation of the celestial year quite aptly reflects the power of the Reasoning Mind.

CHILDREN SKATING OVER A FROZEN VILLAGE POND. Developing aspects enjoy mental movement, over and above the still unchanging collective experiences.

A good reminder to have fun and enjoy the journey even amidst the current collective conditions and attitudes.

Inner Build Mode for 6 more days, leading up to the epic full moon on Spring Equinox as the Sun enters Aries!

Like synchronized clockwork of the grandest design, the Half Waxing Moon rises at noon and sets midnight.
