The New Moon in Gemini and a triple square to JUPITER in VIRGO from SUN Moon and VENUS.  This is a grounded square. I am thinking of a baseball game with the 3 planets on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd bases. We are trying to hit the home run and score.

It’s a hard cross to bear when it’s so changeable.

The perfect card of course. The 2 of wands like all 2’s is about balancing the opposites, communications, duality, opposition, union, negotiations, relationships and more.

Use this spark of reconciliation to move through the challenges with energy. Optimism is good. See a path through the dark,

Remember to go outside and look at Saturn tonight in his up close and personal spotlight. Bow down to Saturn he is the Master of reality. I find it very interesting to think what traditional astrology would have…

When there is tension in a New Moon chart, we will spend the lunar cycle resolving these conflicts. There will be lessons for all of us to grow from.

2016 W24 Calendar (Weekly) Sunout Astrological Aspects

[Click Image to Enlarge]

The recent sequence of significant planetary alignments is still active. Quite the ‘domino effect’!

And it’s going into the ‘alchemical mix’ of  the Mutable Grand CrossNEW MOON which is like a ‘Crest of the Wave’ – all met in the Heart.

Here they are, ‘in order of appearance:

May 26:

JUPITER in VIR squared SATURN retro in SAG (# 3 out of 3 alignments Aug 3, 2015, March 23, and May 26, 2016 – all Spring 2016 affected by this challenging alignment between two major ‘players’):
Crisis and Perspective

• If things don’t ‘work out’, are not aligned, and ‘don’t go anywhere’, what is the paradigm shift that’s giving you a new perspective and ‘WHY’?
• Maybe not now, but soon in hindsight (ha, good old SATURN…), circumstances might show how what looks like a ‘bad thing’ carries a valuable lesson?
• What does the Heart and Loving Kindness say…

Here we are on the threshold of the New Moon in Géminis of the year. This will be one of those that we will not forget easily, since this lunation is formed at 14 º of Gemini and being a new moon, means that the Sun and Moon are in exactly the same degree and sign, and this time Venus joins them, meaning there is a conjunction of Sun-Moon-Venus in Gemini. These three planets activate the mutable T-square that we have been under, since November of last year and that has been felt increasingly strong from March this year. A T-square, as we all know is formed from two squares and an opposition i.e. two angles of 90 ° and one of 180 °. In this particular case it is Jupiter in Virgo that opposes Neptune in Pisces and they form 90 ° angles to Saturn in Sagittarius. All of…

The Gemini New Moon on June 4th reawakens the Mutable Grand Cross with a conjunction to Venus, squaring Jupiter and North Node in Virgo, squaring Neptune and South Node in Pisces and opposing Satur…

2016-06 W24: Forecasts for Week 24 of 2016

June 2016 (Mars Out)

Week 24 (W24)

Sunday June 5th

By Noon the Moon is void and the remainder of the day is best spent as a day for rest and relaxation if that is possible.

Moon makes a quincunx to Pluto in the early morning hours (about 1 AM CDT) and another quincunx to Mars much later in the day (about 5:30 PM CDT).  We think this CAN be interpreted as a (VERY) loose Yod.  If that is true, then you will tend to face some kind of important decision today.

This is not a life and death decision, and you will likely have moved on to other things by the end of the summer, but it “seems important” right now.  This is particularly important if your birthday is today.  Other Gemini are likely to be affected also (favorably if their…

I love June, don’t you? Maybe it’s because I’m an Air sign and love the energy of Gemini (the chatty, sociable, quirky twins of astrology), maybe it’s because it’s the month named for the goddess Juno (or Hera, for the ancient Greek set), or maybe it’s because the world is so vividly alive and joyfully green that I feel assured that yes, winter is finally over.

Either way, we’re kicking off this month with some wonderful astrological energy, courtesy of a New Moon in Gemini!

The New Moon is always a fantastic time for refreshing our energy and setting intentions for the upcoming lunar cycle. From what I’ve read, this particular New Moon will be a doozy! The conjunct Venus energy will highlight areas relating to love – self-love, platonic love, romantic love – and how we communicate in our relationships with others and ourselves. For example, one of my…

New Moon Woven into a Square of Time

“My soul, where are you? Do you hear me? I speak. I call you—are you there? I have returned. I am here again. I have shaken the dust of all the lands from my feet, and I have come to you again.” –Jung, The Red Book, p. 232

A new Moon involves a meeting between the Sun and Moon, and begins a new cycle of association between the two luminaries of our sky.   Whatever our personal story, they represent cosmic ‘Father’ and ‘Mother’ and their relationship is a monthly journey we all take together.

It begins in the darkness of the Moon. She leaves behind the pleasures and pains of the past twenty eight days, and offers us the same possibility.

We can take a moment Saturday, June 4th to put down our luggage and look around at the place where we…

“Find my hand in the darkness, intertwined you will be the day to my night. We can share wings and take flight.” ― Truth Devour, Unrequited

Make your wish! A New Moon in the realm if the twins occurs on Saturday, June 4th, 2016, at 11:00 PM EDT. This Gemini New Moon will be like a breath of fresh air—and a kiss from Cupid too, as it falls at the exact same degree as Love Bomb Venus in Gemini. Ideas that have been planted will soon begin to sprout with mysterious grace and beauty. Times two. Follow the whispers that lead to the twins…

“Be especially conscious and trusting of mysterious or sacred pairs, doubles, and twins that manifest. To the conscious mind these will be trustworthy stepping stones in the Path. Pair off in joy and efficiency where life deems it prosperous to do so. This is…

While Pluto’s energy can be frightening in its intensity, with a trine, it promises to be easier. North Node shows the high point in a chart, something that you should aim toward. What it symbolizes is shown by its sign, house position, and aspects.

In the earth sign Virgo, with a trine to Pluto in Capricorn, concrete, tangible results can be expected.

When discouraged, think of the butterfly. At the catepillar stage, all the way to emerging as the fully fledged beautiful butterfly, it must be impossible to dream of being able to fly or even to stay alive.

Yet, it’s true. For all of us.

“Why are conditions so bumpy all the way through June and July? Because two slow-moving planets, Saturn (with a 29 1/2 year orbit) and Neptune (165 years) are at the “stressful,” “difficult,” “afflictive” 90° angle astrologers call a “square.” We can also think of squares as angles of leverage, when planets apply their weight to habits and beliefs that don’t want to change, in order to help bring about changes that can no longer be ducked, denied or delayed. For June, but then fading in July, Jupiter (12 year orbit) joins and tightens the tension with Saturn and Neptune, forming a still more urgent and powerful T-cross of three points occupied by planets and/or other major chart points.” Read more…

Hi there,

The new moon in Gemini happens this Saturday the 4th at 8:59 pm Mountain Standard Time. I may or may not have said Sunday in the video, so…my bad.

Decided to do a lil video update since this new moon is in Gemini.

Don’t think I got to it in the video, but also interesting rn is Mars Retrograde, currently in Scorpio. Retrogrades make energy closer, more inward because the planet itself is actually closer. Lots of internalized energy in terms of will and passion. This had been in Scorpio for awhile, was in free Sag for a bit but now we’re back. More skeletons in the dark Scorpio closet, maybe more things to let go of from the past. Issues in expressing will in close, bonded relationships; maybe this internalized Mars energy has you or your close partners acting in different ways? Dunno but in general, lots…
