Gemini is all about information, playing, solving puzzles and getting curious about life. Curiosity is what helps breed bravery. This is why in the original zodiac the third house is associated with bravery or individual willpower and skill acquisition. This sign is all about trying things out and asking questions. It’s when we try to figure out what needs to improve in our life?

In order to maintain the security or materials we’ve received in the previous new moon cycle, we might need to learn new skills. Gemini is the 2nd house from the original 2nd house. It is the income of income, the possessions of the possessions. It is all about skills, ideas and talents.

On May 22nd, the new moon enters Gemini, ruled by Mercury. Mercury is sitting in Gemini with his friend, Venus. This is a time to start enjoying some of what you do have in life, even if it isn’t much. Start exploring new ways to connect with others in relationships. Indulge your curiosities and interests. Experiment with life. Be non-committal. This isn’t the time to stick with something, but change it all up. It’s a mutable energy. Our thoughts and perspectives are all over the place right now.

Planetary Order of New Moon Transit

• Sun (illuminating new ideas and information)
• Moon (feeling emotionally connected to an idea or story)
• Venus (enjoying and loving our idea)
• Mercury (analyzing, organizing and sharing our idea)
• Rahu (expanding it out into a new realm or territory, using technology or the internet)

Uranus is in the 12th house from the new moon. Be prepared for sudden financial insights or breakthroughs in the collective value system flooding out of the unconscious mind into the conscious awareness.

Mars & Neptune are in the 10th sign from the new moon.

Mars shows the area of life where we have to fight, improve our life and take charge. In pisces the energies become watered down, to say the least. The will is motivated by letting go of managing and controlling everything in this world and pushing ourselves into the spiritual realm through isolation or prayer.

Pluto, Jupiter and Saturn are in the 8th sign from the new moon.

This is a time when our awareness of how everything is fitting together and the desire to know exactly how it all works comes at the price of emotional stability. There is a ton of emotional restlessness now and a whole lot of searching for what makes sense to us and where the missing puzzle piece is. The more we become aware of “facts” in our world, the more psychological fears boil up to the surface, and the less room we have to trust or embrace faith and optimism – much needed qualities in life.

On May 23rd, Moon comes closer to the north node and gets real intimate with Venus and Mercury. This is a time when we will be open to playing and enjoying the little things of life. We might not have the energy to “get out there” and solve all the pressing problems. We might be confused as to where to even start. But, right now, the best thing to do is have fun — at least try.
