The 23 degree Gemini New Moon June 14, 2007 occurs less than 24 hours before Mercury turns retrograde June 15 at 7:40 pm in Cancer at 11 degrees 35 minutes. Giving us very little time to imagine, envision and begin the creative pursuits of establishing our new moon visualizations for wanted desires the following month, only to have our intellectual and emotional motivations go through the scrutiny that mercury retrograde is so famous for achieving and bringing about new realizations and directions.
No time is greater than now for keeping it simple and going one step at a time. Taking in to consideration the Gemini new moon brings the Uranus energy of change and nervous anticipation of a new order through the trining energy of Neptune in Aquarius. Be oh so aware of your thoughts and words during this energy as the ability to set into motion and manifest will be carried into creation from the Neptune Uranus mutual reception. Causing the majority of us to ask, did this occur because I said it or did I have a premonition of what was to come?
Each of us has a place, a purpose, and a position in this life that means many things yet remain constant that we are at the center of all these connections. We may very well be a son or daughter, brother or sister, mother or father, friend or lover, employer or employee. Though each distinction has it's own purpose and exchange. They are unique and different in how we fulfill these, while all the time we are constant in who we are as a person.
The Sabian symbol by Marc Edmond Jones for this Gemini New Moon is Children skating on ice.
This is the symbol of the persisting imminence of adventure in experience, and of the constant danger to self in failing to sustain or order the complex of things as they are. Implicit in the symbolism is the value of an established reality as a foundation for further refinement of personal capacity and skill. The satisfaction of a successful self-expression always must remain a dynamic impetus to further achievement and so never become a static aplomb or surrender to self as it stands. The key word is FUN. When positive, the degree is soul-satisfying experiment in the infinitely varying channels of possible self-discovery and when negative, a tendency to live for momentary excitement.
As an Astrologer it is my perception of these New moon energies to mean; the time has come to beware of the necessary changes required to obtain our desired objectives. It is through the combination of ego and emotional unity and the intellectual decisions to take the personal initiative to remove the hurdles and pit falls we have placed before ourselves through self doubt and excuse making. As these dreams are not a reality to be created by anyone but ourselves.
The north node is located at the 10th degree of Pisces. The energy I have spoken of in many previous writings that have brought each of us to the point of facing our own personal demon, our victimizations. We were made aware of this the final six months of 2003 when mars went retrograde at this degree making us experience the areas of our victimization in very personal ways. Then in the spring of 2005 and 2006 Uranus transited this degree and we again experienced random events that brought our victimizations front and center. As if to ask us, have we begun to dismantle these hot spots from our lives? The last mercury retrograde in February 2007 was begun at this same degree and sign, 10 degrees of Pisces. A coincidence you might ask, or the perfect universal infusion to bring about our hearts desire in spite of ourselves. As we were forced to look at ourselves with an accurate evaluation or experience our flaws through those we must interact with daily.
The transiting North node has a similar meaning as it does in its placement in your Astrological birth chart. The path or direction necessary to reach your fullest potential or purpose. Pisces is the energy of vision, creativity, unity with all of creation, the veil through which our connection of previous past life experiences and abilities emerges to combine in this life creating a fuller more rewarding experience through discrimination and discernment.
Or the very personal stumbling blocks that limit us to repetitive actions brought about from fear or indifference.
