Astrology: New Moon of Gemini/Full Moon of Cancer

THE NEW MOON OF GEMINI

The most recent new moon (Gemini) took place June 16th, which created the stage leading up to this upcoming full moon, the full moon of Cancer. Normally I only discuss the energies and influences of the full moon, but because of the intensity of this new moon, I want to write a little about it.

This Gemini New Moon was still in the grey area of retrograde Mercury, retrograde Mercury lasting approximately three weeks plus the week of approaching and the week it is waning. Mercury is the powerhouse behind Gemini—let’s say its “influencing hand.” During this time, there are broken promises, broken contracts, misunderstood communications and more.

Mercury rules the nervous system. It rules the nerves and channels of the body, the parts that connect to other parts. Any imbalance with Mercury can cause some difficult problems. You will notice in the above chart that there are four planets in Gemini, including Mercury and Mars. Mercury, the main theme of this planetary stellium, is forming a square to Neptune. So where Mercury is a  neutral planet, the fact that there are four planets in Gemini with the ruling planet Mercury in square to Neptune fired up by Mars, you have a pattern that can give some extraordinary experiences, from failed contracts, physical body ailments, mental confusion to higher world, higher plane experiences. Those with a Mercury-ruled chart (exemplified by this new moon chart) are most likely going through a pretty “jittery” cycle of nerves, requiring some specific vitamin supplements to get through it all, and rest.   (If you have any questions, please post them and I will try to respond, or anyone registered to this blog is also welcome to respond.)

There can be an unending flow of poor communications, arguments, anger, and the more serious: deaths due to out-of-control anger (Mars rules guns), serious mental health issues or deaths caused by mysterious means (Neptune).

Neptune is a very challenging planet for most of us. I believe, in its more negative sense, that it rules not just illusion, delusion, and confusion but also deception—both an inability to detect deception as well as the deliberate intent to deceive. Neptune is impressionable, dreamy, other-worldly, deluded, addicted, evasive, secretive, and deceptive. And when Mercury forms a square influence with Neptune, it can find a person falling into negative traps, either through his/her own doing or through the doings of others. The combination of these two planets in a square influences one’s life and relationships, such as health, such as inflammatory problems; one’s thinking is superficial; the nervous system is jittery; one becomes self-deluded, inattentive, gossipy, untruthful, and acts stupidly; one becomes foggy in thinking, in memory, is forgetful, has mental health issues, and more. So either way, whether your birth chart is heavily influenced by Mercury or Neptune, this new moon (June 16 to the full moon on July 1) will be one “for the books.”

Not to leave Neptune in such a negative way, in its most positive sense, it sees the more advanced Neptunian-type person as sympathetic, compassionate, gentle, sensitive, responsive, selfless, and sacrificing. But whether you are a Mercury or a Neptune person, we will all come under the heavy influences of this new moon chart up through the full moon of Cancer.

In this full moon chart, you will see that Mercury remains in Gemini, and while Mars has moved into the sign of Cancer in conjunction with the Sun, nonetheless, it continues it fiery energies in this conjunction while in opposition to the moon. Flared tempers and emotions and nerves can still be a problem in some people’s lives, so the test is to be non-reactive and instead use the energy at its higher octave, which means in a positive, creative manner. The Moon can either be nurturing and submissive or oversensitive and emotional. Mars can be active and dynamic or in its negative influence impatient, aggressive, arrogant and combative. If you have a strong Aries or Cancer or Capricorn influence in your chart (Sun, Moon, Rising Sign, or two or more planets in Aries or Cancer or Capricorn, you will need to observe yourself to see if the Moon/opposition Mars energy is evoking reaction and creating an imbalance in your life. And if so, you will need to bring things back into balance.
