O Stars Above: Gemini New Moon

Read It In The News - Feel it in the Stars

Want to know what's happening astrologically? Watch the headlines. We are the shakers and movers that translate celestial energy into reportable actions. Headlines at the full moon of May 10 directly related to Scorpio: FBI director fired, Hanford's plutonium waste exposed, and earthquakes shook us awake.

Astrology led the way as the first science when humans noted a cause and effect relation between movements of the vast sky and the antics of the village people. Without a doubt, the first person to add those two events together was a Gemini, whose New Moon (May 25, 12:44 pm PST) activates our need, nay, our craving, for curiosity, diversity and relationship.

Gemini systems fire on all cylinders driving us to rock 'n roll in life with the vigor of hyperactive teenagers. The new moon's monthly meet-up is bound to be as riff with innovative ideas and interrupted sentences as a monologue by Robin Williams!

Ultimately, Gemini's write headlines. They perceive, talk, listen, teach, coach, interview, negotiate, broker, write, relate and stimulate people to break out of their restricted points of view so we can learn from each other and live together. They seek out the fringes, crossroads, market places and oddities to make us whole and appreciate the differences among us.

Gemini's inquisitiveness takes them far - even into space. NASA chose Gemini's ruling planet's name for the first manned missions, Project Mercury, and followed up with Project Gemini which shot astronauts to the moon and back.

This moon, conversing with the asteroid goddesses, asks us to listen and receive instructions before we sling-shot into action. Conscious sacrifices, making amends or granting forgiveness may balance societal and personal needs while our Gemini president's overactive nervous system tweets away.

As always, free will let's us choose how to use universal urgings. Conscious or not, Gemini's energy moves through us into the headlines.

Horoscope May 25 to June 9

Gemini, with Mars in chatterbox mode, a whole lot of talking is going on. Using heartfelt words to mend bridges and heal hurts is your super-power! People find your curiosity charming and want to hear what you have to say. Speak up on your own behalf.

Cancer, brain chatter drains your body, so piddle away at something needing minimal attention so you can rest. Let your most grounded and loving friends carry you. Allw a soulful healing comes to you. Rest more, be gentle and flow.

Leo, this is a big month to align your agenda with your broad based networks. Use personal appearances and contacts to accomplish your goals. Get in front of as many people as possible and don't squander opportunities chattering mindlessly. Talk on purpose.

Virgo, put forward moving Mercury to good use by giving it real world jobs to do. Many balls are in the air - you must delegate - but guess what? No one does it the way you do, so take time to give good instructions. You LOVE managing a great project!

Libra, you know everyone has a proper place and you are determined to find yours and help others find theirs. Articulating new beliefs is the job at hand based on your foundation of wisdom. You MUST be you in all relationships! Now is the time to quite hedging your bets.

Scorpio, your own moodiness can keep you stuck but wise counselors, consultants and elders talk you through it. You need a personal board of directors because change is afoot! The only way to look in charge is lead the parade. Get out front and show your style.

Sagittarius, ease up on your imperfections. Yes, they're there and your job is to heal them but, we all have them and can't see yours for looking at our own. Talking less and saying more in the relationships nearest your heart revives your partnerships.

Capricorn, can you say lifestyle changes? Reading and talking about it doesn't get the job done. You must DO IT! Pick one that feels right and stick with it. This is about your health. You have to have a body to play the game of life. Think of it as applied management – applied to you!

Aquarius, you need two things right now. Be yourself and have enough playmates to make life fun. Party, play and recreate on purpose – travel for educational, cocktail parties for charities, coaching for community involvement. Share your weird self!

Pisces, on one hand you want to retreat home. On the other, you want stimulation. Have a party full of like- and diverse-minded people. Then hang-out, listen, absorb and re-energize. Invite the most interesting people you know and ask them to bring their friends. Many channels are opening.

Aries, loving yourself is not half the work, it's the whole enchilada. You've been under renovations to become irrevocably, irrepresible you. Drop those who don't get the new you and hang with those who love the way you are. Invest energy close to home: neighborhood, siblings family.

Taurus, make a list and go after what you revel in because more is coming your way. Be your most calm, engaging and charming self - you know, honey, not vinegar and all that jazz. It's a great time for a physical make-over so your outside style matches the updated inner you.

 

O Stars Above: Sagittarius Full Moon II

A Complex Lesson

A cosmic lesson plan launched with an eclipse last September as the school year started. The optimistic and complicated plan grappled with healing unconscious patterns (Pisces) while untangling beliefs painful to ourselves and others (Sagittarius). Often as many as six of the ten planets were in action and we were like mice running routine patterns in a maze that no longer had cheese.

Much sorting, filing and mis-steps ensued throughout the foggy winter until a conglomeration of earth sign planets conspired at the Taurus new moon, May 6, to reveal the results of our work – or lack thereof. A full moon in Gemini/Sagittarius followed by the Gemini new moon on June 4, helped us 'see' what old perceptions had shifted and what updated dreams we dared to entertain. Little by little, we dismantled stagnate mind sets and dead-end beliefs, and broke out of our mouse maze.

To underscore the year's lesson, here comes ANOTHER full moon in Gemini/ Sagittarius (June 20, 4:02 am PDT) which echoes a double set of full moons in June, 1997. If you're old enough, this signals a second chance at a road not taken or abandoned, or a review of outdated beliefs set in motion then.

If you learned this year's lesson, it's a major accomplishment - like receiving a Master's degree in Life. If you didn't, you'll encounter diminishing returns. Old patterns won't work. Suddenly, you're bumping into walls where there were none and there's no cheese in sight.

The cosmos constantly conspires to move us towards an evolutionary path of growth. The stellar command wants us to take a step forward in faith and trust. This was a complex lesson but we can still make the shift if we open up to one expanded thought and see how we grow and are rewarded, both personally and collectively.

Horoscopes June 20 – July 4

Gemini, can you feel the shift? The courage to follow your true path? Your mere presence opens doors so get out there. Make a plan, find help mates and get ready to take baby steps in your new direction after June 29. It's been quite a year for you and you are ready!

Cancer, all of the logical activity happens in your most unconscious sector. Does life feel karmic? It may be karma or it may be that blind spot where we are our own worst enemy. Feel your way along and remember symbolic language: dreams, tea leaves, poetry, music.

Leo, your fire lights up in the areas of business connections and fun! Follow the 'feel good vibes' as you keep an eye on the future you want. The people you meet change your possibilities so plans may need revision or expansion. Just be sure it's change you want!

Virgo, it's a summer of big energy. Use it to clarify, plan, consult and make decisions. Only you know what you really want (and victim hood is so passe.) Trust yourself! Make a plan, work it and build a solid foundation...even if you have to sell the house!

Libra, time to envision a bigger life. This last month gave you a taste of the possibilities. Tune into your guardian angel for guidance. When God speaks, take good notes, 'cuz you can go with the ideas of the last person you talked with. Practice going with what works for YOU!

Scorpio, geez, you're missing the fun, but then you love digging in the deep. No problem, just a last minute clean-up as you prepare for the first two-year voyage of your new 28-year cycle! Value your right to be you. Feel what that means and create personal strategies for moving on up!

Sagittarius, two full moons! Aren't you something?! How vulnerable do you feel coming out of an ivory tower and copping to what you're committed to. Commitment isn't a Sadge word but you've got a big vision and need partners to accomplish it. Plan now. Forward motion soon.

Capricorn, you can't see clearly, but you feel the shift. Look where you put your everyday energy. Talk around 'it' until you hear the words that vibrate with your heart. Get hold of the biggest dream you can imagine accomplishing and get busy! You are a pragmatic visionary.

Aquarius, ideas and inspiration, woo-whooo! Cut ties with those who talk, but don't walk the talk. (Or is that you?) Get real, baby, you're the leader of the new age. Study at the crossroads of physics and metaphysics. Trust the unseen world or lose a source of power.

Pisces, words create reality - eventually. What's your role in the family myth? You can change your mind, your words and your story. Any pity party is old story. Follow the new one. You ARE a creative, magical leader surrounded by helpers - even if you can't see it yet.

Aries, take time to talk with others and stretch to new heights. Dig into your roots and lead with your heart. Invite others into your great adventure. Words count and can hurt – or inspire others. Words help you paint the picture of a blossoming reality that calls on all of your courage.

Taurus, you get caught up in the bottom line. But there are other valuable things to count: friends, family, home, the inspiration work brings you. Feel what your heart wants in that place you've secreted it away. Share yourself deeply, truly. (And quit poking your best mates with sharp words.)
