PISCES Half Waning Moon

Inner Release

Half Waning MOON at 5°PISCES where 

True Principles reign supreme!

Shrugging off the old fixed programming for being more true to you! The picture symbol for this lunation degree:

A PARADE OF ARMY OFFICERS IN FULL DRESS. 

An outwardly displayed precession of discipline and dedication in command.

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

Inner Release for 7 more days, leading up to the Gemini New Moon. The Half Waning Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon.

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.

A means for looking deeply into the experiences, reveals the wonderment & awe, of it all!

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 & Jupiter Rx in Sagittarius

Inner Expansion

MOON meets JUPITER Rx in Sagittarius where Illumination is key! 

The constellation here is SAGITTA the great celestial Arrow reflecting action towards a particular aim.

A significant signature! As this is the second Moon/Jupiter Rx meetup during the celestial month of Taurus.

As a mutable fire sign, Sagittarius is all about expansive adaptability! The picture symbol for this meetup degree:

IN NEW YORK, ELLIS ISLAND WELCOMES THE IMMIGRANTS. 

In a busy place of mind surrounded by life experiences, newly arriving diverse aspects are welcomed.

Rather like a precursor for the adaptability required as we shift from the (fixed) energy of Taurus to the (mutable) energy of Gemini tomorrow!
