Gemini New Moon & Saturn into Aries
New Moon in Gemini
6 Gemini, May 26th, 8:03 pm PDT
To uplift your spirits, wake early (4:30 or 5 am) and step outside. Look to the East and see beautiful Venus! You may be able to see the thin crescent Moon suspended below Venus around 5 am.
May 24 – Saturn enters Aries
With Saturn moving into Aries we begin a new 29 year cycle. Last time Saturn entered Aries was April 1996. Saturn seeks to bring discipline, structure, and limitation to Aries’ impulsive, intuitive, on the go energy. Potentially, it can settle the highly creative Aries into manifesting through patient intention. Slowing the wild horses of impatience, Saturn teaches the rewards of the long road.

Planetary aspects leading up to the Gemini New Moon
May 24 – The Sun at 3 Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius – a day for working with transforming, deeper issues that surface flow into new understanding, communicating powerfully.
May 24 – Mercury conjuncts Uranus at 27 Taurus – Innovative thoughts, speaking authentically, thinking originally, communicating revolutionary ideas, stepping beyond the status quo or challenging those in power.
May 25 – Mercury enters Gemini – Bright ideas, love of learning, writing, communicating. Watch getting too many things on your plate, watch being scattered.
May 25 – Mercury at 1 Gemini sextiles Saturn in Aries – Saturn will help slow and focus Mercury’s thinking. Great day for organizing and planning.

New Moon in Gemini
May 26 – New Moon at 6 Gemini – with 4 planets in Gemini, there is a quickening. We may find that lots of ideas are circulating and that connecting with friends is enjoyable. With the New Moon conjunct Mercury, in it’s own sign, Gemini, it makes it a perfect time to commit to an intention, to write, to create outreach, to let people know what we are doing. It is also a perfect time to learn, teach, or gather insights. The trine to Pluto may give us the momentum to move on those intentions which can activate a change, and bring about transformation.
With its wide conjunction to Uranus and Sedna, we can expect to continue on a tumultuous ride, situations suddenly overturned, and even shocks of seemingly betrayals.
This new Moon aligns with and activates the beginning of the Aries Vortex time. How can we ground and implement new systems, activating community into action, into revisioning the future, honoring what we deeply value, taking into account the needs of the collective? We may experience our twinness, feeling the polarization of opposites. In esoteric astrology, Venus is the planet of Gemini, for its aim is to find the energetic pathway which harmonizes opposites. Can we learn how to do that?

Affirmation for New Moon in Gemini
“I set my intention for honoring the opposing needs within myself, allowing communication between the parts, for acceptance, even resolution. My intention is to be willing to see more deeply into the needs of those who are opposite in their views or background from me.”
May 27 – Mercury at 3 Gemini trines Pluto in Aquarius – powerful communications, profound thoughts.
May 29 – The Sun conjuncts Mercury at 9 Gemini – highlights the mercurial, changeable, mentally creative thinking and speaking, of Gemini. Highly creative or very scattered. Creatives learn to live with some chaos as creation is more important to Gemini than order.
Jun 1 – Venus conjuncts Chiron at 25 Aries – During this time we might ask ourselves what needs healing in my relationships? What values am I willing to stand up for? During Chiron’s sojourn in Aries (since May of 2018, fully in Aries since March 2019) we can ask ourselves, where are we seeing the wounded masculine, the resentful angry energy, the displaced aggressions, and dominance? In our personal lives we might ask, how do I express my needs? Do I hold back, then with anger react? What needs healing within my own ways of expressing or not expressing my assertiveness? How might I move forward with more direct authenticity in my relations?
