The Sabian symbol for the Sun and Moon at 29*Gemini is: The first mockingbird of Spring. This symbol shows us how to communicate harmoniously with others. Like the mockingjay in the movie, The Hunger Games, mockingbirds mimic what they hear. Their songs are the most beautiful and diverse in nature. This new Moon, find your own sacred song and sing out your talents for all to see and hear. And remember that we all contribute to each other's understanding of life. Everyone has a truth to share. Make sure you're listening so you can incorporate others' vision into your own.
The Background Story
There are strong energies forming in the background of this new Moon. Let's take a look.
Saturn has been retrograde since the Leo full Moon on February 7th. Saturn has been in Venus-ruled Libra, the sign of partnership and diplomacy, fairness and justice. Have old friends and lovers turned up? Have old relationship wounds been healed? We came to Earth to experience life, and Love is one of Life's great lessons, teaching us self-awareness. With Saturn in Libra, we need to honor those partners and lovers who have taught us the hard lessons of love as well as those people whose love shines continually in our hearts. Now we can move ahead with new lessons, so don't be surprised if a new lover or partner shows up in your future.
The Sabian symbol for the Saturn station at 23*Libra: Chanticleer's voice heralds sunrise. There's a renewal of life promised in this symbol, and the hope is that we will find the partner (both inner and outer) who will stand with us as we meet the future.
Venus ends her 6 week retrograde journey on June 27th. She is now the Morning Star, visible just before sunrise in the East, and ready to take on Life! I hope you know what you want, because if you're asking for it, it will probably show up! It's also time to tune into the feminine virtues of grace, charm, empathy, intuition, gaiety, beauty and artistry. Venus' transit to the Sun on June 5th reminds us that the Goddess has returned and wants her daughters to carry her blessings into the world.
It's interesting that the Sabian symbol for Venus stationing at 8*Gemini is one of rebellion. Venus went retrograde on May 15th and the symbol was of children skating on a frozen pond -- making the best of the situation, using the restriction of the cold to develop strength and skill. Now the new symbol for 8*Gemini is: Aroused strikers surround a factory. This is an image of people no longer accepting the restrictions imposed by an unfair system. With Venus focusing this degree's energy, we have hope for a peaceful revolution. We have to be creative, to combat the corporate money which is trying to keep its power intact. If we let our imaginations fly on the wings of Love, we can be very creative with how we rebel. We can use some of those feminine virtues to disarm brutality and avoid confrontations. It is up to each of us to ground this love energy in our everyday lives.
The Uranus in Aries Square to Pluto in Capricorn
The planets involved in the biggest energy shift this next year are Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Aries. They're bringing the 60s back in with a roar. It seems all of us need to have a talk with Mr. Pluto. He wants to tell us about our shadow self that is keeping us chained to the past. Uranus wakes us up to our freedom -- Pluto tells us what we need to change to achieve it.
Pluto might be asking us to take in the radiation coming at us from the nuclear meltdown in Fukushima, Japan and transform it into light, consciousness, good will and imagination/creativity. It's interesting that the US is the first country it hits. Perhaps transforming our American "conspicuous consumption' consciousness is the crux of the matter. If that's what Pluto is demanding of us, then let's turn all that plutonian radioactivity into Light.
Uranus opens us to the mindset that can achieve this transformation. It says to dig deep into Aries' search for identity and find yours! So open yourselves to the archetypal realms and ask for an archetypal mentor who can teach you your true name.
Astrologers have been talking about this upcoming square for many years, but especially since the summer of 2010's cardinal cross brought these two planets in contact with a Cancer Moon and Saturn in Libra. Cardinal signs are the action--oriented signs of the zodiac. They stand at the beginning of the 4 seasons -- Capricorn/Winter, Aries/Spring, Cancer/Summer, Libra/Fall. They move things along and certainly since 2010 things "have moved along' -- the financial crisis deepening and the rift between "right and left', "rich and poor' widening.
Whenever these two change agents get together, we find ourselves in the midst of a crisis-oriented time, but it doesn't have to be a violent or dangerous time unless we make it so. The present crisis is that our financial and governing systems need to be renewed. And as is obvious, the patriarchal system is fighting back to keep its power and prerogatives in place. Unfortunately for them, they WILL have to go. How that ends up happening is up to each of us.
