Nancy, our resident Astrologer has my heart as she writes her guidance for any of us who want to take advantage of the planetary vibrations of the New Moon.  Thank you my friend!

June’s New Moon occurs on the 12th at 6:16 AM EST in the sprightly sign of Gemini at 21 degrees. This airy, intellectual sign of the Twins gets us ready to enjoy our summer months with enthusiasm and curiosity. Those Gemini folks in our lives are stimulating, busy, perhaps a bit flighty, but always engaging and fun to be with. They bring a spark of the child within, a trait that they never seem to lose no matter their age. They are always looking forward to their next adventure – be it a trip to the grocery store, or an around the world cruise. Their enthusiasm is rivaled only by their opposite sign Sagittarius – they love every facet of life and try to live it to the full. Gemini also rules the appendages, and you may find that injuries to the hands, arms or legs might be quite common especially in childhood. There are few of this sign who haven’t got a scraped knee or scar on their hands from some escapade that ended with a slight injury. Also, they may have beautifully expressive and exquisite hands, and they often move with exceeding grace.

Gemini rules our closest kin – brothers and sisters – our neighborhood, and also reigns over all things intellectual. They love to read, are good correspondents, they do well in the publishing arena, have a good eye for what works in advertising, and could even become an ace of a lawyer or news correspondent. There is nothing that doesn’t interest them and they will pursue their interests with utter abandon and enthusiasm. Now – that said – Gemini’s must control their tendency to take on too many interests. They can become scattered because their facile minds work so quickly, they are easily distracted, and often will begin a project with all good intentions, but are unable to follow through because something “more” interesting has caught their eye. Even in conversation with one of these delightful folks can cover several subjects within a few minutes time, and if in business – they may have to be brought back to the subject at hand more than once.

These are clever and usually happy people with no axes to grind. They will accept you at face value and include you in their inner circle of friends quite easily. An interesting fact might be that being a dual sign – they often buy things in pairs… and in their closets you may find two of a number of items. And not just things that come in pairs, but they will buy multiples of clothing items, and household items as well. It is rare to find a Gemini without a backup for the staples we need in our kitchens, but also a backup plan for most minor emergencies.

Entertaining, full of life, quirky, perhaps a bit fickle, these ever youthful people will enhance your life with joy and fun should you be lucky enough to count them among your friends or family.

Now to the lunar month ahead – although Neptune and Pluto are in Rx motion, these slow moving Planets won’t dampen the ability to move forward with plans although there might be some confusion in the mix. You may choose to see just what you want and not what is truly happening. We can get through this period with calmness and with the help of Saturn in Virgo; we can organize and get to our goals with precise planning. Now that Jupiter and Uranus are partnered in Aries, this will spur us on to moving ahead with abandon. Reign in some of the impulsivity you might be feeling and make sure you have a handle on exactly what you are aiming to accomplish.

During this New Moon day, you might want to write down some wishes or affirmations that you would like to see become reality. Be precise and clear in what it is you want to express – with the Moon in the sign Gemini, some of you may wish to include improving relationships with family that have become strained, catching up with friends you haven’t been in touch with lately and sincerely miss, improving your writing skills, or even taking a course on public speaking. Gemini is diverse and complex in their interests and desires so anything is on the table – or you may just want a relaxing manicure and pedicure to start your summer off with beautified hands and feet. All day Saturday is just fine for writing out your affirmations, remember to add an hour for DST.

On another note this month, there is a lunar eclipse in early Capricorn on the 26th – this is quite a powerful aspect because the Moon is engaged with Pluto our potent little giant. The ramifications of this eclipse will last for the rest of the year and will bring us the ability to empower ourselves. What we must be aware of is not to use this power against others – to demean or take away anyone else’s sense of being. Indeed, beware of trying to overpower others in a negative or irate manner. If you follow this path you will find yourself abruptly taken aback in a most unhappy way. Use this energy to become more aware of your power in a positive and useful approach to dealing with others. If you take the high path in taming this unique energy, you will find yourself in a healthier and more stable relationship with family and co-workers. Respect for yourself and others is the lesson here – do not under any circumstances be swayed by a momentary desire to put down any other human being. Rise to your greatest heights as a being of light and energy, and you will be on the pathway you are intended to follow in this lifetime.

The summer months are ahead of us – let’s immerse ourselves into the warmth and freedom of this delightful time of year. Let us try to be of benefit to ourselves and others while the stars are cooperating to help us be aware of what it is we need to do to enjoy and harvest the best life has to offer.
