Inclusive Communication

From the perspective of Earth the Sun is in Gemini joined today by the dark face of  the Moon and embracing as one, the Sun and Moon initiate a new lunation cycle enthusiastically declaring, it is in the voice of Gemini after all, the potential birth of a new aspect of ourself. At each New Moon the radiant light of the Sun sleeps swaddled in the cool darkness of the Moon  while our evolving self-awareness illuminating a new birth in our consciousness lies momentarily challenged by the inertia of the past mired in our habitual reacting in the present.  The monthly cycle of the Sun and Moon reminds me of the wisdom learned from Jiddu Krishnamurti teaching that knowledge is born of the past and that what we think we know aborts the  creative birth of both the present and the future. If we truly want to experience life without bias or preconceived ideas we need to open our mind and heart with a fresh perspective by dying to the known.

If this is sounding dark and ominous it need not be  if we consider the celestial gift given each month to consciously resist the pulling of our past by creatively birthing something new and unknown within ourself. Every New Moon impregnates the collective unconscious seeding the potential evolution of individual and collective consciousness. When we are under the influence of Gemini our inquisitive nature perks up and we want to experience more than we experienced before. Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is that aspect in each of us enthralled in the activity of learning and flitting from one subject of inquiry to another leaves little time to consider either the past or the future. When we are dancing in the cosmic arms of Gemini we are inhaling the life breath of the present, and for those of us feeling shackled to our past this is a wonderful week to set a personal intention to die to the inhibiting influences  that we inherited from our early learning environment, remembering that Gemini abhors inhibited  communication of any kind.

This month is guaranteed to bring new insight to our conscious experiencing of our immediate environment and with the invent of the Internet that which was once our local neighborhood has miraculously expanded into el mundi. For those of us wanting to be heard and understood this is a great month for launching our thoughts and feelings out into the universe, and whether we receive comments back from others or not, we are assured a fresh experiencing of  our perception of life. On the other hand, and with Gemini there is always the left handed approach to experiencing life, many of us may learn more about who we are by asking questions rather than seeking answers and listening to the thoughts and feelings of others rather than speaking of our own. This coming week as the dark face of the Moon brightens with a delicate crescent smile we are reminded of the slow arising of our self-awareness demanding a more inclusive quality of communicating.
