New Moon in Gemini
6/18/23 12:37 am 26 deg 43 min.
The backdrop:
Pluto is retrograde and has moved back into Capricorn. Here we will revisit our attachments to the outer authority and structure that are no longer serving us. More transmuting of this energy will help to develop the inner authority we will need when Pluto moves permanently into Aquarius at the beginning of 2024. Pluto is still squaring the nodes; we are still experiencing a back-and-forth movement between our emotional attachments that are no longer serving us and our need to emotionally align with our self-reliance and self-sustainability. To resolve this action of moving back and forth between these emotions, we all need to focus on our inner emotional attachments that are limiting us. This means addressing any fears we may have associated with transmuting the deep emotional attachments we have to allowing the outer authority to dictate our reality.
Venus is squaring the nodes causing us to oscillate between emotional attachments that are no longer serving us and emotionally aligning toward our self-reliance and self-sustainability. This is because we have skipped a step. The skipped step is related to how to actualize what we need. To resolve this we must focus on our needs, and the relationship we have to ourselves.
Jupiter is in a new phase conjunction with the NN. This points to the emotional growth curve toward self-sustainability and is associated with our own inner truth and worldview that is beginning to expand. What beliefs about our freedom beyond our current reality are beginning to shape our new awareness?
Pluto is in a first quarter trine to Uranus. Uranus points to the collective wound that we all share. It is associated with how we as a collective have not been honoring our own individual needs and the ability to be self-reliant. In other words, the way that we as a society have been meeting the needs of the collective has created worn out patterns that threaten our very survival. This is the pattern that we as a collective are trying to break free from. The revisiting of our emotional attachments to the outer authority and the way we as a collective have been meeting our needs is aiding in the flow for us to be able to complete the emotional alignment with our own inner truths. This will help us heal from the collective wound.
Pluto is sextile to Neptune in Pisces. Neptune is the oneness of all things. It represents the dissolving or completion of a cycle where all of the energy of that cycle dissolves back into the source where it can create something new. This includes the boundaries of the reality that we as humans have created. Without boundaries, there can be illusion and delusion, and well as meaning and no meaning. With Neptune in its own sign, there is an accentuation of this dissolving of reality. With Pluto in Capricorn sextile to Neptune there is a supportive energy suggesting that Pluto is transmuting the worn-out reality and Neptune is dissolving it back into the source. From here, new realities will evolve as displayed by all things that carry the flavor of new beginnings.
Sun and Moon in Gemini
The Sun, the way we actualize ourselves and the way we display authenticity in that actualization is in Gemini. Gemini is the energy of gathering, processing and communication of reality. With the Sun in Gemini, we are all experiencing the self-actualization of data collection. What do we perceive surrounding the changes that are happening in our world? Sun conjunct the moon says that we are beginning a new cycle of aligning our inner reality to our outer reality of data collection. We are learning to see, collect the perceptions and communicate it to those around us.
Inconjunct Pluto (full Phase)
The Inconjunct to Pluto says that there are dynamics associated with the new beginning of aligning our self-actualization of gathering our own perceptions that are not visible with respect to the transmutation of societal structure. We feel we are empowered here, but we may be experiencing an internal crisis perhaps even some paralysis due to the perceptions that the social structure is more powerful. The way to empowerment is a step by step process of learning to harmonize ourselves with others.
Square to Neptune in Pisces (Last quarter)
There is tension felt with respect to the new actualization of gathering and communication of perceptions in our personal reality. This is due to the transmutation of the authority from outer to inner, and to the dissolving nature of cycles that are culminating and disappearing. This is a crisis in belief. What do we believe? Do we believe what we are being told, or do we believe in our own perceptions? Neptune is murky and unclear. We may be experiencing the dissolving energy combined with this new cycle of gathering and communicating what is present in our environment. The lack of clarity is creating the tension. The same square is a crisis in action with our self-image. This happens when we are learning something new. We haven’t done it before. Due to the murky nature of Pisces; it may be difficult to see what we are curious about, and We aren’t used to being self-reliant in this way. This is the energy of the NN, as we begin to separate and disengage from the old societal standard, we must learn to trust ourselves.
Semi square to Venus/ (closing with the moon, new phase to the sun)
The energy of beginning a new cycle in collecting information for us is ending the way we have previously met our needs. Venus and Mars are now conjunct in Leo where we are working toward fulfilling the need to self-actualize, to begin the cycle of aligning our actions to our needs in the area of finding our purpose and sense of authenticity. We may be experiencing a crisis as we begin to mutate between what has been, and what is to come. We are going to need to experiment with our expression and form new social duties. Doing both for a while will create inner conflict. At the same time, it is a new phase to the Sun, our purpose. We are clinging to this new sense of freedom that has begun with getting our own needs met and beginning to internalize it.
Trine to SN Scorpio (disseminating trine)
Beginning a new cycle of collecting information for ourselves is in a flow state with past emotional attachments to feeling disempowered. We are collecting information about how we have been disempowered by the current system and beginning to bring to the social system the information we have gathered, thoughts about it and communication about it publicly.
SN Mars Libra
The past way of acting out our desires has been related to the way we have based our actions on other people and energies outside of ourselves. These extremes, what we want to do and what others want us to do is what the past attempts to seek balance in is about. We have all faced these extremes, and all too often it can look like deferring to others desires and suppressions of our own desires. As a culture we have been taught to defer to the other, our husbands, our bosses, our teachers, etc.…very often putting our own desires to act on the back burner. We have been conditioned this way for many generations. We have been pigeon-holed into ways of acting and roles that do not feel authentic and leave us inwardly feeling like something is off.
Transiting Mars Leo
This current Mars transit is suggesting that we align with our own hearts' desires, what our sense of authenticity and purpose is, and how we want to self-actualize it. We are able to act on the whims of our inner child. We are being asked to play, and to find joy in our activities.
NN Mars Gemini
The future of how we act on our desires will go through a collecting of information phase. Where we will be gathering our own perspective on how to create our desires. This will happen in the summer of 2024 When Mars returns to Gemini. In the meantime, we will focus on Venus because it will not meet up with Mars until February of 2024 in Aquarius, where we begin the process of individuation of our needs, and value with the action of purpose to fuel it.
SN Venus Cancer
The past basis for the current Venus transit began two weeks ago when Venus was in Cancer. Where we were internalizing the need to get our survival needs met. We’ve been contemplating how we make money to meet our needs, as well as how we relate to ourselves and others that satisfy our self-image. Venus was helping us to align our needs and values with our own self-image as opposed to any stimulus outside of ourselves. We were needing to align with ourselves to determine what we need as individuals.
Transiting Venus Leo
This has led to the current position of Venus in Leo. Where we are now needing to align with our needs and values to a sense of authenticity in order to self-actualize our purpose.
NN Venus Gemini
The evolution of the Venus function of meeting our own needs and relating to self and others is to gather information on what those needs are.
What does it all mean?
It means it can be a rough ride. Revisiting our past attachments and the growth toward emotionally aligning with our own abilities to be self-reliant pulls us in two directions: to stay attached to what is known, or to move blindly into something new. To resolve this we need to look inwards to discover what is limiting us on the emotional level. What do we fear, and which of those fears are what we have been told from outside of ourselves? At the same time, we are needing to focus on what we need. We are beginning a new cycle of expansion. Expansion that leads us to seeing our own abilities for self-reliance and self- sustainability. This is the inner truth that deserves attention.
Much of this is universal. We have for generations been attached to a social structure that does not honor individual needs and desires on a collective level. Rising costs, poor quality food, an increasingly toxic environment, and inadequate housing for many continue to plague our societies. This has led to an intolerable amount of stress and widespread emotional disruptions. Many people are showing signs of stress: prescription medications, drug and alcohol abuse, rising suicides to name a few.
This is changing. The old reality is eroding and leaving space for something new to arise. This is the backdrop for this coming full moon.
With the sun and Moon in Gemini, our outer sense of authenticity and the ability to actualize our desires has aligned with our inner sense of selves once again. This time to begin the process of gathering and processing our reality from our own point of view. The Full Moon was in Taurus, where we were inwardly canvasing our own needs to reflect the expansion beyond what is known. Now we begin a new internal and external dialogue to gather information about what we perceive in our reality.
There are dynamics we may not see regarding this new beginning of gathering of information from our own perceptions, we cannot see the transmuting of the social structure, but it is causing an inner crisis that requires an adjustment, we may even feel stuck. The way to empowerment lies in a step-by-step process of learning to harmonize ourselves with others. Communication is the key.
We may feel some tension as we shift from allowing the outer authority to tell us the reality to learning to rely on our inner reality through what we personally perceive. This is a crisis in belief. What do we believe? Do we believe what we are being told, or do we believe in our own perceptions? We aren’t used to being self-reliant in this way. This is the energy of the NN, as we begin to separate and disengage from the old societal standard, we must learn to trust ourselves.
We are beginning to look for how we can meet our own needs, and how we can be authentic.

We are clinging to this new sense of freedom that has begun with getting our own needs met and beginning to internalize it. Communication with others can help to dispel ideas of delusion. The New Moon is asking us to begin a new cycle of data collection and communication with others. This will help to empower us as we begin to empower our own sense of self-reliance and self- dependability.
