June 2013 - New Moon in Gemini

The Moon joins the Sun at 11:56 am EDT in the sign of the Twins at 18’01 degrees.  The Sabian Symbol for this New Moon is A Large Archaic Volume Reveals a Traditional Wisdom. The underlying tone of this degree can be read two ways – fitting for Gemini - and we, of course, can read as much or as little into it as we wish.  A big old book with fading pages and fragile edges can reveal mysteries we have long forgotten, for better or worse.  Knowledge is power; there is an almost ominous tone if we look a little deeper and realize that knowledge, in the wrong hands, can be – and is - used to control most of us in varying degrees. That same knowledge in the right hands, the gentle hands of a truly spiritual caretaker of Wisdom, can help guide us forward and provide a solid understanding that perhaps the ancients, who were more in tune with the cycles of the planet and Universe, knew much more than modern society has given them credit for. Traditional Wisdom can serve us well, if we are wise and read the ‘big book’ with an open mind and open heart. The answers to some of our most pressing modern issues can be discovered at this New Moon, if we care to look into the past…if we can look clearly and without fear.


We have two very tight square formations at the time of the New Moon. Mercury at 11’46 Cancer is issuing a challenge to Uranus (11’54 Aries) while opposing Pluto at 10’51 Capricorn. This is a transiting T-square with Uranus as the apex planet. What does Uranus want, and will Mercury give it to him?  11 – 12 degrees Libra is the target (or release) point. On a personal level, family secrets may be revealed during this New Moon, perhaps due to a sibling’s loose tongue. Someone close to you, or you, yourself, may have an emotional crisis due to a disturbed relationship. The Sabian Symbol for 11 – 12 Libra is Miners Are Surfacing From A Deep Coal Mine…it’s a very fitting description for a Mercury – Pluto opposition. Deep thoughts, buried secrets or desires rising to the surface, and old wounds re-opening are all possible now.  This energy signature is reaffirmed with another square between Mars at 5’50 Gemini and Neptune at 5’22 Pisces…there is pressure here to actively go below, to dive into the sea and search for what lurks down there in the darkness.  Although things may seem somewhat dire, there is a solid and supportive trine with Venus (6’48 Cancer), Saturn (5’30 Scorpio), and Neptune (5’22 Pisces). Any painful situation can be overcome, healed, or let go of but sometimes we have to lance the wound first and let it bleed.  Somewhere in that big ol’ book there will be an answer, a solution, or a remedy that you need. Many of us may be tempted to just skim through and look at the shiny pictures, courtesy of the Gemini energy, but those who will gain the most from this New Moon will be the Mercurial-Plutonians, the ones who aren’t afraid to learn the truth.
