“I don’t trust people who don’t love themselves and tell me, ‘I love you.’ … There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.” ― Maya Angelou
This month’s New Moon unites with Venus in the versatile sign of duality — Gemini. As an air sign, Gemini is known for its ability to dart about and amaze us with its lively curiosity. Venus’s alignment with this New Moon will encourage an intellectual exploration of your personal values to determine if they are in alignment with your close relationships.
This lunation is especially potent because it aligns with the current celestial T-square aspect between the planets Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. Keywords and phrases for this powerful planetary alignment are: exploration of love and my personal values; expansion of “my” truth; culmination and restructuring of that which no longer serves my best interest; following my inner knowing. All of these phrases are important themes for this entire year but they are especially emphasized during this month’s lunation.
Mercury, the ruling planet of Gemini is located in Taurus during this lunation. Taurus is associated with self-sufficiency and self-love. Therefore, this lunation is providing a wonderful opportunity to enter into contemplation and create dialogues with others where you can express your ideas and beliefs about love. Determine what is working and maybe not working in your life. Can you let go of that which is not in alignment with your authentic self? Mercury is respected for swift and sometimes instantaneous expression. Therefore, take some time to explore and intend with youthful Gemini determination and be prepared for quick results.
A New Moon occurs in the first phase of the 28-day lunation cycle. During this phase, New Moons are often called Dark Moons because they are not visible to the naked eye. The darkness of a New Moon represents a symbolic time to plant seeds of intention for new beginnings in your life. As the Moon also represents cycles, this New Moon will be a great time to initiate endings and explore new prospects. Take time today and ceremonially set intentions for future growth that can sprout when the Sun’s light is once again reflected in the lunation cycle.
