Happy New Moon!

And here we are at Gemini New Moon.
It is going to be a mind bender 29 days.   Get out of the way, we'll all be moving fast.

You'll find the whole article HERE.

Here's a snippet....but go to link for the whole thing.

NEW MOON

First of all, let’s give ourselves a round of applause for surviving the last Mercury retrograde.    That was three weeks of a billion paper cuts every single bloody day.  I can’t believe we made it through, but some how we did.  And luckily, this New Moon; Mercury, Gemini’s ruling planet will be in direct motion (Thank you, Spirit).

As an astrologer I find that people don’t want to hear much about Mercury.   Yes, a few people will ask a question about communicating or writing and I will go directly to Mercury but for the most part people want to know about love and money and (putting the houses aside) those are Venus issues.   They want to know about power, a Pluto issue.  They want to know about family or emotions and that is a Moon issue.  They want to know about sex, that is Pluto and sometimes Mars.   They want to know about changes, that is Mars and Uranus.     They want to know about career and that is Saturn.   They want to know about self-confidence, that is Sun.    They push astrologers around with their questions into all kinds of corners but they don’t really ask about the issues of Mercury.    Don’t get me wrong, astrologers will always take the conversation to Mercury but clients don’t usually go there on their own.    And that is a shame.  Because how the brain thinks dictates all of the above.   And brain and thinking is Mercury.    Kind of a big deal, right?   We would be smart to pay a little more attention to our thinking during this Gemini lunar cycle.   After all our thinking says a lot about us. 

During the 29- day Gemini cycle we are given the gift of overhauling our thinking and our brains.   If all the things we want and desire is hardware then we take the Gemini cycle to get our software working at an optimal level.





On this new moon chart, we pay close attention to Mercury since it is Gemini’s ruling planet.  In the chart, we see Mercury is in square to Neptune, opposed Saturn and semi square Uranus.   Let’s get this straight; Mercury in Gemini pretty much loathes Neptune in Pisces.   I may be the only astrologer to say it quite that curtly but they all know I’m right.  Neptune in Pisces is about intuition and feeling something.  It is about things that are unworldly and can’t be defined.  And just when things do come into clarity Neptune in Pisces will melt it away.  And Neptune in Pisces is always exploring issues around faith.    Ooooo how this bugs Mercury in Gemini who uses logic to his advantage.    How can one be logical if there is this pulse out there demanding that we use our intuition?  How can Mercury in Gemini use things that are unworldly?   And there is no place in Mercury in Gemini for Faith.   Everything Neptune in Pisces is about simply does not compute to Mercury in Gemini.   For 29 days watch and see when things are said or come up that defy logic.  Watch how it bugs you.  What happens when something is completely figured out and then suddenly it all melts into a puddle?    What if something makes no sense and throws everything in a tizzy?  What do you do?    How does using logic limit you?   Where is faith when your logic comes crashing?  And when does too much faith look completely irresponsible?    And don’t forget Neptune in Pisces is good for deceit and Mercury in Gemini is good for a lie.    Things will be harsh and people will retreat.  And when people are too fuzzy people will leave.   What does your brain do when you are confronted with passiveness?   How is your reaction working or not working for you?   What do you do when you are pushed to find faith?  In the news there will be some rip roaring liars and cuckoo crazy stories.  And there will be stories that can only be described as miracles.  What do miracles do to your brain?

Neptune Retrograde


Neptune stations Retrograde
June 12
4:09 am EDT


The day after Mercury turns direct Neptune begins his annual retrograde.    What is interesting is that Mercury is in its ruling sign Gemini and Neptune is in Pisces its ruling sign and both turn retro in this Taurus lunar cycle.     Taurus is so practical and those two are so wacky.   Perhaps there is a sober spin to their madness.  Neptune is connected to our dreams and anything divine or spiritual.  Neptune is how we love humanity.    Taurus with Venus as a ruling planet is how we love that person next to us.  Neptune in Pisces is so dang dreamy and really wants to believe that if “I think it, then it will be true.”  Ha!   Wouldn’t it be nice if it were that easy?  Neptune launching his retrograde now will ask us how to connect to humanity in a practical, real world way.  It is not enough to just think about doing good or whatever it is that we think will help improve the world.  We need to get up and do it.  And be practical about it.    Neptune will be retrograde until November 18 when it turns direct in the Scorpio Lunar Phase, the opposite of Taurus.    Expect some issues to come up in the news for the next six months that leave us scratching our head and we say, “There’s gotta be a practical solution to that issue.” 

Watch your imagination in the next six months, see what comes up.   Watch your dreams and see what comes up.  And watch your faith and see when you allow it to come up.  

peace out. 

Mercury Direct

Mercury stations direct today June 11 at 5:34pm EDT.    And not one second too early if you ask me.   Many of us have felt our brains melt.   Just when we think we have something figured out we get blindsided by a new piece of information that puts everything on its side.    There were definitely a lot of bumps with this one and in my case I actually scratched the side of my car.    Nice fat yellow and white streak on the side like poorly painted flames on a wannabe Nascar car.   Which is funny since I drive a Prius.

Anyway, what did you learn this retrograde?   Did you learn to be flexible?  Did you learn to be adaptable?  Did you learn sometimes it is good to show teeth?  Or did you learn sometimes it is better to be quiet and see how stuff unfolds?     And what did you learn about yourself when you suffer through wild miscommunication?  

And what changes did you make in your thinking that can impact your future?  

Give yourself a fat mental vacation.   Go get lost in a book or dinner with a friend or some super bad TV.   You deserve it!   You survived Mercury retrograde.  

Our next retrograde is September 27/28 - October 9.

This week


We start the week with disseminating phase, with emphasis on group efforts.  Accent on social stuff.      We have a nice Venus Saturn aspect on Sunday then on Monday we fold into a nice Sun/Jupiter bounce.    Creativity and expansion with novelty and flexibility accessing strength will be highlighted.

Last quarter moon starts  June 9th.  Accent on faith and trust.
Interesting, Vladimar Putin is scheduled to meet with Pope Francis during this phase.   Curious…

Mercury turns direct on June 11 (post will follow) and Neptune turns retrograde the next day (that Post will follow)

Have a good week. 



June 6
Disseminating Phase
1:24am EDT 

Focus on:  How are you sharing your community?  How are members of your community of ‘like-minded’ supporting you?  And how are you sharing that support with others?   How are others sharing their community with you?  What practical support are you learning?   How is technology supporting you?  How are you sharing technology with others?  

Special focus:
6/6: Venus TRI Saturn:  Love has a backbone.  Values feel straight.  Money and love receive support.     Creativity and Expansion go hand in hand.
6/8: Sun SXT Jupiter:  get your play and love on.  Time to reach out and have fun.  Time to explore.   Even in your office or home, let your heart explore new ideas or ground.


Last Quarter Moon Phase
June 9
11:41am EDT


Last Quarter moon:  Now we do the final adjustments to the seeds we planted on new. The final call, the final letters to send, we follow all the trails that came up that still make sense.  And we let the other parts lay fallow. It is a time of action but wise action.  It is a time for living  “The serenity prayer”

God, grant me the Serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change Courage to change the
things I can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference.



Focus on:
What actions are you taking that speak to your faith? What actions can you take that support your spirituality?  How is your spirituality being called upon?   How are you being practical about your faith?  


Special focus:
6/9: Mars SEXT Uranus:  Actions that originate with CHANGE.  No doing the same ol’ thing again and again, wanting to do something new.
6/10: Mercury SXT Venus:  Communication and love are in sync.   Creativity and money are given a mental boost.
6/10: Sun SXT Uranus.  Fun, novel changes are inspiring new growth. 
6/11:  Mercury turns direct 04 Gemini 34 6:32am EDT –thank god.

6/12:  Neptune turns retrograde 09 Pisces 49 (see above)
