Flashes of Insight: New Moon Eclipse in Gemini

eclipseseason mercuryretrograde newmoon newmooneclipseingemini Jun 08, 2021

My lunar astrology membership is open for new members through June 10th. If you'd like weekly astro updates, New & Full Moon Astro Tarot horoscopes and a live call each month, Moon Club is the place for you.

The Gemini/Sagittarius eclipse cycle began in June of 2020, and contains six eclipses. Four of these eclipses are on the south node in Sagittarius (we've got a lot of baggage to let go of!) and only two are on the north node in Gemini.

The first Gemini eclipse was a penumbral lunar eclipse on November 30, 2020. The second and final Gemini eclipse arrives on June 10th, and is an annular solar eclipse. Also known as a 'ring of fire' eclipse, this is when the Moon does not cover the sun completely, and a halo of Sun's light shines behind the dark of the Moon.

Thursday's eclipse is the only New Moon eclipse in Gemini in the entire 6 eclipse series! Since it is happening on the north node, the place of current hunger and future growth, it is a supercharged New Moon of...

In between the eclipses

This eclipse season began with old endings, and ends with new beginnings.

We're being asked to let go of what's not working, even if we aren't sure what's next. It's important to know that it's ok if things don't quite make sense right now, or can't be explained logically yet.

There are a couple of things that can be adding to this feeling of bewilderment, both of them having to do with the current state of Mercury. As you may know, the winged messenger is traveling retrograde in Gemini, a sign where he is usually quite nimble. Information may be coming slowly, or partially, or even be changing unpredictably.

Mercury is also involved in an extended square with Neptune and Pallas Athena in Pisces. The Neptune square alone can bring a lot of confusion, and since Mercury is barely moving at the moment, this foggy vision is lasting longer than usual. Pallas Athena is often highly analytical, but in Pisces she must remove her intellectual shielding and befriend...

Clearing the Path: Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius

Are you ready for this week's powerful Full Moon Total Lunar Eclipse that is also a SuperMoon?

How does one get ready for such things, anyway?

First off, it's important to know that if you are sensitive to the cosmic vibes, you might already be feeling all kinds of feels. You might have lots of energy, or very little, or be fluctuating between the two.

You might even experience shifts like this around every Full Moon - the peak moment of the lunar cycle has a powerful effect on the outer and inner tides. The fact that the Moon is quite close to earth during this Full Moon, making it a SuperMoon, is enough to have you feeling more of everything.

It's also nice to know that eclipse season happens twice a year, with pairs (and sometimes three) of eclipses happening about six months apart. That means eclipses are a normal, albeit extreme, part of life on earth.

Even though we understand how eclipses happen astronomically speaking, eclipses used to scare the bejeezus of...

Taking Flight: Welcome to Gemini Season

The Sun moved into Gemini today which means it's officially Gemini Season!

Each year when the Sun moves through Gemini, we are invited into more flexibility, multiplicity and shape-shifting. This year it is doubly so because we are also traveling through Eclipse Season.

It's like we're in an airplane that is about to takeoff and we've finally started moving down the runway.

The flight attendants are telling us all about safety exits, seatbelts and oxygen masks before strapping themselves into their seats.

The plane stars moving faster and faster until all of a sudden the wheels lose contact with the ground and the plane begins to enter the realm of air.

As the plane begins to fly, we have to trust that it will stay in the air, despite any turbulence that we might encounter on the flight.

And if your lucky enough to be sitting by the window, you get to see the world from a very different perspective than when you are on the ground.

Unless you are spending the...

Working with the Venus Cycle

I'm taking a break from the astro forecast for the foreseeable future as I focus on what lights me up - Divine Feminist Astrology - my work with Venus, the Moon & the Asteroid Goddesses.

Happy Venus Day!

Are you a planet watcher like me?

If the answer is yes, do you remember the last time you saw the planet Venus in the sky?

The last time I saw Venus was before dawn one morning in late January. She was completing her morning sky phase and had dropped quite low on the eastern horizon, rising just before the Sun.

The next day she was gone, having fallen into the light of the rising Sun, signaling the beginning of her Transmutational Underworld/Otherworld journey.

She journeyed for months in this fiery light, traveling farther and farther from Earth as she passed behind the Sun.

Hidden from view, she underwent an intense period of burning off untruths and impurities, rediscovering her divine feminine essence during her star point conjunction with the Sun at 5° Aries...
