New Moon in Gemini and Neptune stations Retrograde

“If you change the names of things you change the way people will regard them.” Neil Postman

Neptune stationed retrograde on Friday 6/12 at 5:09 am. It will be in retrograde mode through Nov 18. This time frame bodes well for developing the powers of intuition and looking below the surface of things. It is also a good time to revisit dreams, aspirations and illusions with the intent of proceeding with more clarity in the future.

The New Moon is Tuesday at 25 degrees of Gemini conjunct Mars – making it a time of impulsive, aggressive energy. Projects started under this influence will receive an energetic boost.

The Gemini Moon makes challenging aspects to Chiron – the asteroid of the Wounded Healer- and the Black Moon Lilith. This is a volatile combination which can result in sudden anger and impulsive speech.

With Chiron’s involvement there is an opportunity for another level of healing if difficult situations arise. The Gemini Moon encourages taking multiple perspectives.

It is best to approach next week with moderation in mind.

Mercury Stations Direct Thursday

“Thinking is the talking of the soul with itself…All thoughts begin in wonder.” Plato

Mercury stations direct at 4 degrees of Gemini this Thursday at 6:33 pm. Over the next few days it bodes well to assess any new perspectives which may have occurred to you over this retrograde period (since May 19) – particularly ideas about how you think, the ways in which you communicate and the ways in which new perspectives might change things for the better.

Because of Neptune’s involvement do look below the surface – particularly for customary assumptions that may have outgrown their usefulness.
One of the Sabian symbols at the time of the station is, “A blazing fireplace in a deserted home” – a reminder of the importance of rekindling the inner fires of inspiration when support or guidance is not apparent in the outer world.
