New Moon in Gemini - The Definition Trap
Today we find ourselves working with the energies of the Gemini New Moon. Since Gemini season began we have seen an outpouring of mental health awareness and this theme will continue through the summer.
Gemini is symbolized by the twins, a reflection. I find this to be both the material and spiritual dimensions as Gemini represents our thought patterns, our minds and consciousness. In tarot, Gemini is correlated to the Lovers card. While this can mean Love, it more so means choice. A fork in the road when a new path emerges and the option to go an alternative way. The ultimate marriage and balance of the masculine and the feminine thinking in us that brings enlightenment and transcendence. Gemini can be like the wind.
It is important to note that the Full Moon of this cycle will be in Capricorn come the end of June. Using the metaphor of Capricorn, the "system" and "patriarchy" that we live in is a man made construct that uses the energies of Capricorn to manifest & sustain itself. Capricorn is the builder of structure and order. When we analyze how these energies are integrated with Gemini we can see how we use energy to create definitions & share through language. When we put a box around our thoughts, we create definitions and measurements to control and maximize things of value to us. Capricorn attempts to make things resourceful. So who here determines the value of a resource? ! For now, this is the frequency that predominantly determines what has value and what does not in our society. It is a constant measurement being reflected back to every choice we make in our lives. Because this system controls so many of the basic resources that we need to survive, it has tricked us into believing that we could not fathom living in one outside of it. The golden nugget here found in Gemini, is the understanding that this system is only a system and it is not YOU.
At this time, Gemini has been helpful in reflecting back to us the ways that this may have hurt us along our path. The ways in which we wish to transcend this frequency and open up to a new one. We are getting the opportunity to re-write our stories. We can often look outside of us for the validation that we are doing the right things. Am i successful enough, am I "pretty" or "strong" enough, should I be spending my time/life doing this? These are questions that look towards the measurements that the "patriarchy" has created. While they may give us information for a moment in how to organize our agency to integrate with the system, they are not us. Gemini asks us to omit the urge to define ourselves based on this outdated system and the outdated beliefs it has conditioned in us and to step into a new relationship with Capricorn.
From our vocations, genders, relationships, many facets of our identities. When we stop trying to define ourselves to fit into this system we return to our true essence. We begin to flow in Gemini's flexibility and adaptability. It is in these times that we rediscover strengths we didn't know we had. We surprise ourselves by the potentials available to us where there is not an outdated story standing in our way. So with this New Moon, what seeds can you plant that Capricorn will help to build? Where in your life/community can you integrate your new story?
Times have been intense, to say the least. I hope everyone is finding strengths in spirit and community. As always I am available for personal readings, please inquire through my SHOP or CONTACT page.
