Gemini's New Moon

The duality of the Gemini New Moon returns June 16th at 7:05am PDT. The above illustration gives us an excellent example of Gemini's split personality. At best, we see both sides of our natural humanity. At worst, we become fractured slipping into what we think of as our 'evil' side. But even our 'good' traits we hold so dearly can become fodder for our foibles. It depends on which one governs our perception of reality and remembering too much of a good thing also causes problems. How many of us have tried to 'help' a loved one only to get burned when you realize you enabled their problems to continue instead of abating them?

The message of this New Moon is for integration; for one cannot reject 'evil' and think it'll go away. For anyone who has studied Psychosynthesis, the trick is to know all of these aspects within us have a function. Dealing with multiple personalities, we tend to attach ourselves to whatever dominant trait is capturing our attention at the moment. It is like driving a car and picking up hitchhikers, only we think we are the hitchhikers. Granted, frequently we are dogged by tenacious thoughts which compel us to feel we have to act in accordance with its power. However, they can be attenuated by its opposite trait. For example, arrogance (false pride) can be lessened by genuine humility and generosity. 

This lunation points out the importance of recognizing what is tearing us apart in order for us to make significant changes. The time is now. Can we make friends and call a truce to those discursive elements within us? The electricity generated by Gemini's New Moon is a call to trust in balance, equilibrium, and civility. Pick up a mirror and you will see why your world is structured the way it is.

Ride the high energy voltage of this lunation by allowing yourself to be, express, and communicate the real you. Quit hiding behind the so-called negative or 'evil' facets you believe to be solid by massaging them with the kinder, gentler you. As we near the summer soltice, the longest day of the year, let the suns rays bath you with the light that can alleviate destructive emotions, obscurations, and blockages.
