New moon in Gemini: Becoming the Magician
The New Moon in Gemini begins June 13th and stays new thru Friday June 14th. The sun and moon will both be aligned at 22° 44′ in the sign Gemini. Mercury, who plays a big role this new moon, also comes in at 2° 4′ in the sign of Cancer. I pay attention when I see repeating numbers and the number 22 and 44 are actually pretty significant. What is special about the number 22 is in numerology its what called a Master Number and is actually considered the most powerful of all numbers signifying turning your most ambitious dreams into reality. It is a number of manifestation and for this reason its called the Master Builder, indicating a huge potential for success.
Right now we are in the sign of Gemini – a time that is fertile for new ideas and plans to be planted. Gemini and 3rd house energy carries that youthful, childlike spirit in the sense that a child is unaware and completely oblivious to the supposed limitations and boundaries that life seemingly possesses. A child is free, unburdened, and naturally optimistic. They carry a light and lively energy, they are the social butterflies of the zodiac and Gemini’s enamor us all with their wit and intelligence. Their minds are sharp and restless, making it difficult to focus on one thing. They are logic and reason based and being a mutable sign allows them to see all sides to the story.
Ruled by Mercury, they are not usually motivated by the heart – but by their minds. Mercury just began his stay in the sign of Cancer. Which means the most logical and rational thinking planet has just moved into one of the most “feeling” type of signs of the zodiac – enabling us all to be able to communicate and speak from the heart this new moon. We have our logic and mental intent combining with our emotional heart center. Commanding us to say what we feel and mean what we say. Mercury is represented by the Magician card in the Tarot deck. When we think of the magician and working ones magic, we know it is our speech and our mental intent that commands things into existence. But the magician is not speaking just empty words, the magician feels it – it is the belief in his heart combined with mental projection that carries his power into the ether. Connecting the heart and the mind is being a Master Builder, a creator. It is when you unite these two powers that we are able to really manifest our dreams and desires into reality.
Mercury in Cancer has several conversations this new moon to be aware of. Not only is it conjunct with the sun and moon, but it also squares Neptune and Chiron, opposes Saturn and forms a sextile to Uranus – making this not the typical New moon in Gemini energy.
Mercury in Cancer creates a need to communicate your feelings. This is a perfect time to journal and purge to paper, especially since Mercury is squaring Neptune which can cause you to feel a bit off centered. Neptune energy makes us all a little permeable to each others energy and you can find yourself a bit extra sensitive to other peoples energetic vibes. With Mercury opposing Saturn be cautions of negative thinking patterns especially when it comes to communicating your ideas to others directly. This is also another reason to sit with your thoughts and sort them out on paper this new moon period before deciding to express important matters or confront someone with any important issues head on.
Mercury Sextiling Uranus is going to empower us to speak our truth regardless how unconventional or non-traditional your ideas may be. This is Uranus saying its OK to walk in your truth and not be bound by popular opinion, traditional belief systems or beliefs you once held in the past. This is you answering the call within to speak your truth now. So many of us have or are now experiencing a shift in perspective that is so different and radical than what you once held in the past but this is apart of your evolution to become who you were always meant to be.
The cards pulled for this New Moon are the Two of Swords Reversed, Ace of Pentacles and the Sun. The Two of Swords indicates that there could be something holding you back from making a decision or moving forward with an idea or expressing your truth. Maybe you feel overwhelmed or caught in between a rock and a hard place. I love that beside the two of swords we get two cards that include a scenic garden and then the serpent is pulled as the oracle card. The message here is saying that the universe is supporting you in your dreams, urging you and guiding you to fulfill your purpose. The Ace of Pentacles is saying its time to turn these dreams into reality, there are opportunities being handed to you if you are able to shift your mind to that frequency. The opposite side of making this decision and stepping forward in your truth is opportunities, financial and material opportunities, and the promise of success happiness and abundance. The oracle cards pulled ties it all together with the Serpent card and the Spiral card. Both of these cards have to do with shedding your old skin, letting go of the parts of you or the parts your life that are done and have served their purpose. This new skin you wear may feel strange and vulnerable at first but trust that this is all apart of the journey and there is no growth without shedding those layers. The serpent also reminds us not to be swayed by the ideas of others or let our own minds paralyze or hinder us but to stand in our truth. Align your heart and mind this New moon with what you intend to manifest and become the master builder – shed that old skin and allow the transformation to take place inside your heart and mind so you can move to new levels and become the Magician.
