Jupiter and Uranus entering Aries has provided a burst of energy, lighting the fire so to speak. They have set the stage well for Saturday’s busy Gemini New Moon
Naturally, New Moon is when we turn our attention to new starts, new projects, and new ideas. Gemini puts a definite emphasis on the new ideas. It might be wise to keep a memo book handy for jotting down all those random thoughts and plans – especially if this Moon aspects your natal Mercury.
Gemini energy is prone to be scattered and busy, like the highly active, often hectic days of early summertime. This is the last sign the Sun passes through in the Spring season. All the abundant growth and new life of Spring is just beginning to mature, and beginning to choose a path in life. The world just seems to open up with infinite possibility and opportunity. The natural tendency of Gemini is to explore, experiment, think, learn and experience.
New Moon occurs at 21 degrees Gemini – approaching a trine to Neptune and square to Saturn.
The trine, a harmonious aspect, serves to soften some of the potential for hectic chaos in the Waxing Moon. Neptune provides a creative, spiritual, and freely flowing quality – as well an increase in mental Air energy (as Neptune is in Libra).
The square, a challenging aspect, will put a few bumps in the road. Saturn, being the planet of boundaries, can put a damper on new plans or making changes. This square may be just what is needed to bring some of the restrictions and interference to the surface, where it can be addressed – likely with some clever and creative solutions.
While this New Moon, and the following waxing period hold tremendous potential, there are a few pitfalls to watch out for. The biggest one is scattering your forces. With a rush of new ideas and enthusiasm it can be quite easy to charge forward, full steam ahead – in all directions. The obvious result of this, is little accomplished in any direction.
Overall, with a little caution and common sense, this Moon is teeming with opportunity. Whatever you are trying to accomplish, or get started – take it and run with it (wisely).
It is an excellent time for any information and communication related endeavors. This includes the magickal and spiritual realms. This Moon and waxing phase are good for divination, writing your own chants/spells, contacting spirit guides (or other spirits), making or purchasing magickal inks and papers, any spells involving a written ‘wish’, making talismans, and spells using predominantly Fire and Air elements.
