When the Sun is in Gemini, the mood is light. It’s a great time to go to a concert or a dance. You may find that some of the musicians are Gemini’s. Gemini is a mutable air sign. People with this sign often like to ask questions, make sense of things, pull them apart and sort them out. Known for their good memory, they can be full of ideas, songs, poems and stories and will often embellish with expressive hand gestures. This zodiac sign can be about twins, duality, the mind and messages; one duality being intuition versus raw data. A Gemini sun sign person might struggle with choices and frequently change their minds. Light on their feet, a gemini will not brood or get bogged down – they figure it out. Of course no one is ALL gemini, but it is a fun, musical, chatty time of year.
The Gemini new moon will occur at 5:37am Pacific daylight time on June 6th. In our time zone, the new moon is in the 12th house, the ascendant is gemini, making the new moon chart a triple gemini. With mercury and Jupiter and venus all in gemini as well as the sun and moon, this is massive amounts of information, all happening behind the scenes. Meetings, letters, emails, barter and trade… gold and silver come to mind! We may hear about it later – what others are doing – but for the individual, June 6 will be a good day to breathe, write pages, ask questions, barter and trade.
My usual new moon message bears repeating here, because in gemini it can be a natural reflex to use our breathe and our words, infusing the new moon birthing energy toward manifesting a plan, a choice, stating our bottom line, initiating a new idea.
Each month, each sign of the zodiac, has a theme. Last month the new moon in Taurus was the ideal time to plant seeds. Taurus is all about gardening and beautifying. The waxing moon is the best time to put energy into creating and growing. On the full moon, both luminaries are showing you the current scenario with circumspection. Then the moon goes into a waning phase. This time is best spent doing the weeding, mulching and prep for the next phase of growth.
If you have a book to launch, travel to plan, buying, selling, or an idea to hatch, June 6 is the day to initiate it. You don’t have to do it all in one day – just begin.
This gemini time in 2024 is a nice reprieve from the serious, worrying events in the world. It is delightful that venus is exactly conjunct the new moon at 16 degrees gemini. It is wild that mercury and jupiter are also in gemini. Too much information!! I feel that venus will offer a tempering effect, sweetening the pot and giving the cold, hard facts a softer delivery. Venus is about values and cooperation. The powers that be might have us responding to the AI suggestion to believe the data, invest, dump stocks, etc. Venus adds an element of heart, cooperation and reminds us to listen to our intuition.
Jupiter and mercury are currently conjunct in the early degrees of gemini and trine to pluto in early aquarius. Pluto can represent large sums of money and Jupiter expands. I can’t seem to stop talking about money. That’s gemini for you, ramble on, ramble on.
Venus is now more than half way through the constellation of gemini. She will arrive in Cancer on June 16. Acting on venus in gemini could be about a partnership, a money-making idea or an art class.
Every new moon is an opportunity to initiate something completely new. Whatever news or information you consume will potentially be an overload. The very best advice I could pass on, is to expand your own mind, to learn something that you will love, to breathe, meditate, be in charge of your thoughts. Ask yourself, “what do I value?”, “who are my partners?”, “where should I focus?”, “why am I doing this?”, “when will I begin?”
Jupiter is in the Jupiter decanate (1/3) of the sign of Gemini. That’s a lot multiplied by a lot of words, thoughts, information. I began this newsletter intending to speak about Jupiter and all the gemini stuff spilled out like alphabet soup. Jupiter is jolly, magnanimous, generous, over-indulgent, expansive and plentiful. His orbit is approximately 12 years, so he spends about a year in each sign. Jupiter in Taurus was down to earth, expanding the garden, dealing with belongings, acquiring valuables and perhaps over-spending and being a bit too optimistic.
Jupiter has his faults, but true to my Ssggie exaggerations, let me point out that his first love is the truth. Dogmatic, preachy, even over-bearing, Jupiter knows what’s right and holds a high standard. Now that he has begun his one-year trip through gemini, we will be hearing this truth and that. Whoever the teacher, the podcaster or guru, keep in mind that all can be compromised, all have agendas. Your mind is your castle. Do some housekeeping and check the locks. In the tsunami of information that jupiter brings, there will be gems. Be impeccable with your word.
2024 has been referred to as a transition year. We may not recognize our world in a year from now. Many things are changing, for better or worse. The reason that I wanted to speak more about jupiter is that he is preparing us for the entry of uranus in Gemini in July 2025. Uranus is internet, inventions, networking, technology, humanity, community. This will likely mean more 5G, new phones, new cars and also new ways to barter and trade, innovative communities, inventions in air travel and electricity. So, as the information wave gathers speed and volume, you might want to set some parameters for yourself so that next summer, when all the outer planets are setting out to journey through new constellations, your mind will be clear, sorted and focused on your authentic personal truths, your steady voice, rhythmic breath and solid ideas.
