Look, Listen, HEAR - Gemini NEW Moon

Without having looked at astrological websites, I could already feel that the last week and this current week are both meaningful and charged. (That's speaking for myself at least).
Last week we had Mars start to move forward (look for a post tomorrow on that).

And . . .

Today, May 28th, the moon is NEW in the sign of Gemini (the twins). Remember on our New Moons, we start new projects or try to embrace new habits that are reflective of all that the sign of Gemini encompasses - expression, communication, and mental activity.

While researching this post, I read something that very much resonated with me and is in line with Gemini communication....about not only learning to express yourself but making sure you do the second side of communication which is to ingest, learn, HEAR, take in. Sometimes I think I do that, but there are times when we have to realize that taking IN information is actually a huge challenge communicating with someone not as skilled at expressing themselves. It takes patience and uh . . . patience. Thanks Gemini exposing two sides to the coin yet again. This time on communication. Twins indeed. But definitely something to think about as we embrace new habits at this new moon.



There is an astrological aspect with Neptune coming in to play as well....Neptune is the sign of illusion. We've all been there when seemingly shocking information comes to the surface. We never saw it coming (but we would have if we were looking). Also Neptune is FAMOUS for showing up in Love situations. He's the guy that encourages us to pull the wool over our eyes and to believe what we want as opposed to listening to what others say. We've all worn those proverbial rose colored glasses until we were ready to embrace the truth (a Piscean trait).
Then BAM. We see it all so clearly.

And to continue this listening and communication theme which is clearly supported by the Gemini New Moon, I had a conversation with my new boss today about this very idea of trying to let your gut tell you the truth. Despite popular belief, intuition is NOT a 6th sense. It is an observing and taking in the physical, verbal and energetic communication that people put out there and taking it at face value. It's true that someone will tell you who they are in the first few mintues of meeting them. It is our job to LISTEN! So yes, always work to express yourself maturely and compassionately and firmly BUT for those folks who may already do so . . . take the energy of this new moon and let it support you on a new habit of listening. And usually your gut has the answer.

So in short. The New Moon is asking us to focus on starting new communication habits and putting a spotlight on where we might improve.
