Gemini New Moon

The Gemini New Moon is exact at 12:37am on Sunday, June 18th. The Sun and Moon align at 26°43' of this Mutable Air sign, indicating a month of interaction, investigation and stimulating conversations. Gemini is a sociable sign, often known to engage in two things at once and still able to keep up with all that is going on. These natives are curious seekers of information and will not be deterred when interrupted. They will just pick up where they left off to get their questions answered.

In the New Moon chart, the Sun and Moon are interacting with the nebulous planet Neptune, archetype of dreams, spirituality and creativity. Are you noticing a deeper sense of compassion for others during these difficult times? Maybe you have a feeling or a hunch that makes you feel uneasy and like you just want to hide and not deal with reality.

These are times we can have the wool pulled over our eyes, or pull one over on someone else. Escapism is rampant around this New Moon and it would be wise to avoid drugs and alcohol, or building up a fantasy of what you'd like to see, versus the way things really are. Ask yourself if something looks or sounds too good to be true, what the underlying motive of the person offering it is and who stands to gain.

Good antidotes for these uncertain times are to do something for someone else, meditate, express yourself through writing or art, listen to beautiful music, or just allow yourself to feel nostalgic and watch old movies. Compassion for others, including the animal kingdom and nature, as well as giving of yourself in some kind of service for the greater good, are suggested.
