Precarious Balancing

The current New Moon cycle is reflecting the mutable signs Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces; and as we follow the unfolding of the Sun and Moon relationship, keeping in mind that every lunation cycle heralds a potential conscious awakening of an unfamiliar aspect of our self, our attention is drawn to the inter-playing between this New Moon cycle and the approaching Saturn and Uranus opposition; an opposition that always delivers a challenge to the precarious balancing between tradition and innovation, restricting and liberating, the status quo and the unorthodox. With Saturn in Virgo opposing Uranus in Pisces we are asked to improve society by breaking apart stagnant social structures and traditional ideologies that are preventing us from a more inclusive engaging with the diversity offered in life. Yesterday, the Moon in Virgo squared the Sun in Gemini creating tension accompanying the green light to embrace the rich diversity of life as we search for a safer and more secure belonging in our global community. Today, the Moon cautiously joined forces with Saturn and reflecting  our emotional maturity we acquired the opportunity to spend the coming week working on practical solutions that  will nourish the health and well being of our society. This is a good time to avoid emotional retreating or withdrawing because we feel insecure and fearful. Tomorrow, the Moon discreetly opposes Uranus and reflecting our emotional independence and originality  we have the  unique opportunity to invent unusual ways of improving the quality of daily life. It is important this week to resist the temptation of becoming  frustrated by any imperfection we may experience that unexpectedly appears with a defiant stance manifesting as a hyper-critical viewing of our self and the world surrounding us.

Waxing Moon in Gemini

At the New Moon in Pisces we had the opportunity to set an intention for the month and today the waxing Moon in Gemini punctuates a point of crisis giving us the opportunity to creatively communicate with precise simplicity what has until now been hidden in our unconscious; our feelings of interconnection with the source of Life. Both Pisces and Gemini seek connection but the conflict arises between the lateral movement of air, Gemini, wanting to make connections unencumbered and the absorbing pull of water, Pisces, drowning free will. This week we need to be mindful of superficial conversations that may undermine our deeper intentions to consciously seek union with something greater than our physical manifestation. This can be a great week to write down our dreams to better understand our connection to the collective unconscious. For those of us with significant planets or personal points in the mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces this lunation cycle can bring creative changes into our life if we can surrender our unique individuality in tribute to the source of our creation without sacrificing our separate and distinct identity. This waxing Moon makes nourishing aspects to Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Chiron, and Neptune suggesting that we can “shift shape” this month with mercurial wit and charm by embracing diversity knowing that we are joined in union with one another through our shared experience of being human and our recognition that All of Life is interconnected.
