New Moon in Gemini
expanding ideas into new modes

There’s chatter on the morning mist. An undetectable frequency like a haze that only exists on the liminal. It’s a Gemini New Moon soon after the Saturn ingress into Aries.
When we create, is it us? Is it our idea? Is it a glaze of societal conditioning overtop years of our lives or past lives, both? full of what we think we own?
If we’re doing it right, we recognize we own nothing.
The external world has our eyes dulled from over-conditioned advertisements in every crevice.
We are not our conditioning. Those tropes and thoughts we wear as armor or flair are many times not our creations.
Saturn signifies the structure of it all, while Aries represents the bravado of youthful discovery.
A Gemini New Moon wants a new way to think, a trap door to ideas and levels of conciseness seldom available. With Gemini’s guardian, the realm traveler and communicator, Mercury, in a cooperative sextile with the dreamer Neptune, it is time to let go of doubts. Saturn in Aries concurs, it’s got the confidence of a tween with the structural support of an elder statesman.
These two transits at the same time; It’s fate.
There is a way we create the world we want, and it cannot be ideas alone. We have to embrace the Saturn part and make it happen. Don't let our ideas fade like an old printout—in a box, in a drawer, stuffed behind the headboard.
Yes, to writing those ideas down. The titles, the dreams, the locations, our heart’s desires. Write it down. On paper.
Don’t let it end there.
We need to take a step.
If it feels exciting while also kind, it gets a blessing from the New Moon’s (both Sun and Moon) in an aspect called a quintile to the Nodes of the Moon. Quintiles create from the spirit of Venus. A new world isn’t always robotic and cruel. That is fear-baiting. A new way can be beautiful, fruitful, and loving - if we create it that way. We don’t need extensive blueprints or traditional mindsets to get it done. One brush stroke at a time, one artful world, one hug, one note ringing out past the sonic edge.
People who push the collective into new paradigms don’t wait for others to understand; they move themselves into new ways of being ahead of time. They know we’ll all catch up. They have the confidence of Saturn in Aries.
Pluto in Aquarius, the metamorphizer, is pulling off of a trine to this New Moon, and the residue of revelation exists in the droplets of the morning dew. It’s all there. The secret codes for future and ancient ways wrapped up together in a spiraling rainbow that fits on the edge of an atom while as wide as the expanding universe.
Just like us.
The mistake we make is thinking we are separate from it all. We are all unlearning that every day, some of us in very harsh ways, while some in the territory of bliss.
If we point our hearts in the direction of compassion, we’ll all get there eventually. If we keep our view both micro and macro, we all get there together.
“None of us is free until all of us are free.”
Eyes & hearts open.
Feet stepping one moment at a time.
Inward and onward for the strong-hearted ones.
