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.
