Insights, Inspirations & Forecast:
The New Moon in Gemini on June 14, leading up to Summer Solstice, is getting the headlines now. These events are not of the magnitude of far planet activity, yet they do qualify the rhythmic flow of the seasonal round. This natural, cyclic process is the very foundation of Astrology, the focus of which inspired the technologies designed to measure time, clocks, and calendars.
Of course, the first clocks were sundials, and the first calendars were the measure of the Moon’s cycle. In time, the Sun became the common denominator due to its association with the seasons, the context in which the Moon waxes and wanes, rhythmically and consistently.
The degree of the June 14th New Moon is 24 Gemini 02 in the Tropical Zodiac, the first Zodiac, or ‘wheel of life’ associated with the seasonal cycle. This degree conceals association with both Aquarius and Pisces, and their respective ruling planets, Uranus and Neptune.
As destiny has it, Uranus and Neptune are both in new signs as of recently, given their 7 and 13 or so-year cycles. With Uranus at 2 Gemini 48 and Neptune at 4 Aries 16, they are forming what is called an ‘applying upper sextile’. This ‘aspect’ is symbolically associated with Aquarius as well, the sign of future dreams, friends, social groups and networks, individuality within the context of association, affiliation, community…, and of social change, rebellion, and even revolution.
Aquarius is often regarded as a civil, refined, and friendly sign, yet it has a dark side as well. This darker feature of Aquarius is associated with sudden, radical change that can prove chaotic, at least, and utterly devastating, at worst. Relatively sudden events like tornadoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes are examples, but so too is any sudden, major shift or event, apparently random, or deliberate, as with any form of detonation, natural or deliberate, as with explosive acts of terrorism.
The mention of terrorism applies to Aquarius because, as the sign of rebellion and revolution, it is associated with rationalized attitudes and behaviours that, in their more extreme expression, assert notions that ‘the ends justify the means’. In this regard, any and all revolutionary activity is associated with Aquarius. When the internet went public in Spring 1993 is an example of such a revolutionary event. Of course, the event can be described as like a seed, which then undergoes an evolutionary process in accordance with the quality and destiny of that seed event.
In this case, Uranus applies to Neptune, which will be exact on July 15 at 4 degrees 24, or Aquarius and Aries respectively. This charged, but generally socially opportunistic aspect on July 15, will occur in the context of the New Moon in Cancer, which occurs on July 14.
The New Moon in Cancer is special because it is the sign that the Moon ‘rules’. Cancer is generally recognized as a ‘moody’ sign, associated with the fast-moving Moon, which is ever revealing a change in its appearance in terms of its phase based on its relationship with the Sun, the light of which it reflects.
This moody quality can also prove sudden, reactive, and even somewhat radical as well. The reactive quality of a Cancer Moon does not compare with the magnitude of major revolutionary shifts associated with Aquarius, yet when they are combined…, well many modes of alternative, moody, and sudden shifts can occur.
It is noteworthy that the FIFA World Cup begins on June 11, amidst all this, and ends on July 19. What is unique about the tournament this year is that for the first time, the locations of the matches will occur at various locations around the world as opposed to the traditional norm of it taking place in a single host country.
Returning to the current New Moon, this week’s Horoscope will shed light on its destined implications for each sign, in context to associated factors like Mercury in Cancer and Venus in the early degrees of Leo, the combination of which aligns well with the emotionally-driven and dramatic themes associated with the games, and to our other events in our daily lives for this specific window in time.
While life can seem random and relatively chaotic with multiple unknowns, affirmation that you can intuitively align with and which reveals purpose, timing and possibility, and which guides a sense of self-actualization, can prove grounding and empowering indeed.
