New Moon in Gemini ~ May 24, 2009
New Moons are times of planting new seeds, new beginnings, and setting intentions. The Moon is what nurtures and feeds us. The New Moon in Gemini nourishes us through mental curiosity, reading, writing, learning new information, and making connections. Mercury/Hermes ruler of Gemini is the messenger of the gods, and was the only god to travel between two worlds. He was also the protector of travelers and athletes. Gemini’s often feel like they travel between two worlds.
Mercury retrograde in Taurus helps to calm the mind from incessant chatter and frivolous gossip. Mercury moves forward (direct) on the 30th and re-enters Gemini on June 14th. Mercury/Hermes always carries a healing rod, the caduceus that reminds us of the healing and wounding powers of our words. Chose what you wish to communicate consciously and don’t become mired in toxic verbal sparring or abuse towards others.
The triple conjunction between Jupiter, Neptune and Chiron in Aquarius reflect the lines of communication are open to new truths, dreams and generous healing spirit. The last triple conjunction between these bodies was back in 1945 in Libra. Social change, reform, equal rights, and justice for all echo today the Aquarian ideal of cooperation, altruistic and humanitarian values. The expansive influence of Jupiter with Chiron can become a powerful aide to the healing process, while Neptune yearns for the ideal social setting by participating in groups, community and collective cooperation.
The Sabian symbol for the triple conjunction at 26 degrees 26 minutes of Aquarius reads: AN ANCIENT POTTERY BOWL FILLED WITH FRESH VIOLETS. The importance of traditional skills and artistic values deeply rooted in instinctive feelings. Violets have often been a symbol of modesty and humility. What I find interesting is this conjunction is conjunct Neptune’s discovery degree at 26 degrees of Aquarius! Neptune was first discovered on September 23, 1846 as America was undergoing radical social changes. The Mormons arrived in Salt Lake City, waves of Irish immigrants came to this country, the poets Thoreau, Emerson and Whitman came into prominence, and the Mexican War broke out. Come one full Neptune return cycle later and we have trouble with immigration and the Mexican border. Transiting Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune all conjunct the Moon in the Sibily chart (USA) and will have a dramatic effect on the American psyche and collective mood of the country. In the words of Richard Bach from his book “Illusions” Rarely do members of one’s true family share the same roof! Indeed, sometimes our ‘true family’ is our friends, group, tribal or collective family.
Saturn goes direct in motion on May 16th. We can now move forward with our projects and plans that have been on the back burner. Good time to build bridges so that inner plans find ways for outer expression. If you had been feeling stuck in a rut since February you can gain new traction now and plow ahead with authority.
Health care reform is still a contentious issue with many Americans. Real health care reform of a single payer is completely off the table. Not only that but single payer advocates were never invited to the table with the big Pharmacy and insurance companies.
Just this week the A.H.A. American Hospitals Association made a call to all their CEO’s and informed them they never agreed with the new Obama policy to reduce their costs 1.5 percent each year for the next ten years. The triple conjunction of Jupiter, Chiron and Neptune are in opposition to the asteroid Hygeia (Goddess of health) in the Sibily chart.
A glimmer of hope could be the Jupiter/Uranus conjunction in Pisces Late 2010 for real expansive health care reform. Historically, Jupiter/Uranus cycles do coincide with liberal and progressive empowerment.
Chiron turns retrograde at the end of this month. Chiron with Jupiter can reveal painful truths. Often old wounds from the past may resurface at this time in order to heal, repair, fix and cleanse the lingering wound of the soul. Chiron in Aquarius offers healing on collective levels through addressing social injustice, poverty and hunger.
