The New Moon in Gemini on June 10, 2021 (at 06:53EST) is an Annular Solar Eclipse.
Eclipses are initiations. Rites of passage. Portals of change.
Pivotal moments when one chapter of your life ends, and a new one begins.
The lights go dark.
The Sun and Moon conjoin with the path of fate and activate destiny. Rapid changes are made.
Two weeks ago was the Lunar Eclipse in Sagittarius. Lunar Eclipses are for clearing and release.
Since the Lunar Eclipse on May 26, what did you release? What stories and perspectives were keeping you from trusting yourself? What outworn beliefs have been shed? What have you been freed from?
After a clearing, space is made. In this space, listen deep and plant a radiant seed.
Solar Eclipses are for brand new beginnings and changes in life direction.
Sometimes the shifts are immediately noticeable. Other times the beginnings unfold over the next several weeks. The influence of this eclipse will last for 6 months.
These Eclipses, taking place in fire and air signs, are primarily creating shifts in our minds and spirits. Perspective is everything.
Gemini is the sign of learning, dialogue, and duality.
This mutable air sign brings a whirlwind of ideas, information, and voices. Traffic, breeze, and birdsong. Options, choices, twos and threes.
With Gemini, there may be more questions than answers. And many sources of interest to explore, even if only scratching the surface. It’s less about either/or and more about both/and. Let yourself take in the scent of every flower that attracts your attention.
School has been in session. Wherever Gemini is in your chart is an area of life where you have been gathering information and getting educated since May 2020. (That’s when the transiting North Node entered Gemini. Learn more about this in the Eclipse course.)
For insight on what fated developments in your life are related to the Gemini North Node transit, look back to the previous Gemini Eclipse on November 30, 2020. What story was most alive in your life at that time? Are you experiencing echoes of it now? What has been growing in your life since November/December 2020? What lessons have you learned, and what questions are still alive for you?
What now needs a rewrite, a fresh take, a second chance, a blank slate?
This Gemini Solar Eclipse is: Tabula Rasa. The Fool. A Second Wind.
Tabula rasa is a clean slate. A fresh page before anything is written. Pre-content. Pre-imprint. Pre-conditioning. An empty mind.
This Eclipse is your invitation to be teachable.
Go ahead, play the fool. Go back to the beginning. The Fool archetype in tarot corresponds to the number 0. It represents unlimited potential. It is the jester. The trickster. The perpetual child who dances through life. Embody whimsy and lightness of being. Frivolity can give us life.
Curiouser and curiouser.
What is awaking in you now?
Breathe. Let your lungs flow. Their continuous cycling motion keeps you vital and feeds your brain. A second wind is a renewed sense of energy and breath. This eclipse may deliver a fresh chance to try and try again. Undo and redo.
Or maybe you decide you want to go a different way, after all. Think and think again. Big permission to change your mind. “On second thought…”
Mercury Retrograde in Gemini Square Neptune!
This Solar Eclipse is ruled by Mercury Rx.
While Mercury is retrograde, we engage in ‘re’ words: rethink, review, reconsider, reconnect, rewire, rewrite..
Look back to go forward. Refine your language and speech. Reach out to lost contacts. Have conversations to close loops. Remain undecided until you are ready to be clear. Steep. Infuse. Speak, but also listen.
The mind may be clouded, exhausted, or overwhelmed. Emotions, sensitivities, dreams, and longings are pervasive.
This season is excessively swirly. Calm and empty the mind. Best medicine is to center and ground.
Music will be medicine. Meditation will be medicine. Get entranced. Mind the messages speaking from within.
Undistract yourself. Hear your intuition. Submerge in water. Get quiet and breathe.
Permission to be light. Permission to scratch the surface. Permission to try out your little wings and let them carry you from place to place. Drift in the currents for a while. Feel the breeze on your skin.
This Solar Eclipse in Gemini invites you to Be. Here. Now.
And if there is a spell you’re inclined to cast, speak it earnestly and with playful intonation. Be impeccable with your silliest word.
flitter moon. flutter moon. moon to get quiet and ask. do over moon. second chance moon. moon to flip the script. fool moon. curious moon. moon for inner voices. play tricks moon. duplicitous moon. moon to float in nuance. think moon. think again moon. moon to rewrite the story. changing minds moon. cleaning slates moon. moon for flight & shapeshifting. multitudinous moon. multifaceted moon. moon of whimsical articulations. hub & spokes moon. say it again, moon. moon of rainbows in the ocean spray. spell-ing moon. rewire the mind moon. moon like a bright seed of eternal learning.
