New Moon In Gemini Wednesday 13 June 7.45pm GMT - Carmen Di Luccio
New Perceptions & Ideas
We are having a New Moon in Gemini on June 13th, 2018 at 7:43 pm Universal Time. Gemini season began May 20th/21st with its ruler Mercury also in Gemini since May 29th. This sign belongs to the Element of Air which is socially and mentally oriented, and is also a mutable sign which has adaptable and spreadable qualities.
Gemini's energy is curious, communicative, articulate, informative, clever, and dualistic. It can also be gossipy, superficial, and inconsistent. Although the majority of this Moon cycle will be occurring while the Sun is in Cancer, the Gemini energy is imprinted onto it, especially influencing the first two weeks up until the next Full Moon.
In the weeks leading to this New Moon, the Gemini Sun, Mercury, and previous Full Moon have been in a hard square with Neptune. There may have been some confusion, scatteredness, miscommunications, or issues with communication technology, especially around June 5th/6th and near the Full Moon from May 28th-30th.
The Neptune energy is now behind us, although its effects may still be lingering, we are now in a period in which Mercury is traveling ahead of the Sun (began after June 5th). We can have a new sense of clarity in which our minds are more aligned with our true needs, and any of the issues mentioned above can be more easily resolved. It is also possible that some of the clarity or resolutions that we experience now may be connected to themes that have been occurring or on our minds since April 1st or even prior.
Just under 24 hours prior to this New Moon, Mercury entered Cancer where it will be until June 28th/29th. Cancer is ruled by the Moon while Gemini is ruled by Mercury, therefore these heavenly bodies are in each other's signs. This is called a 'mutual reception' which is a harmonious configuration between them. Communications and perceptions can become more feeling based, sensitive, personal, and subjective during this time. Our thinking can be more reflective and aligned with what we feel at the gut level, however, since Cancer is a Cardinal sign, decision making can still be quick.
