Gemini Crescent Moon
—May 12

Today’s moon connects to Venus through the fifth degree of Gemini, a degree which associates itself to “the explosive tendency of repressed feelings and root emotions.”²

Here we are being beckoned to take action.

However.

This degree is forewarning that “every movement overstressing one direction calls forth in time an equally extreme movement in the opposite direction… what is rigidly bound in form and convention tends to explode into formlessness—it may do so violently if socially oppressed—through revolution—or at the psychological level in psychosis; or it may withdraw inwardly into the mystical state in which one identifies with an unformulatable Reality.”²

In other words, “you may be motivated for change, and getting the attention of those around you may require radical and even abrasive action… perhaps you are having difficulty with someone who is being noisy, disruptive, demanding or looking to cause change—whichever, this issue is most likely overblown and exaggerated in some way; there may be a lot of dramatic action and overreaction to what is said or done.”⁴

Especially in regard to what has only recently been learned or informed through Monday’s Mercury/North Node conjunction, or yesterday’s new moon… there is definitely a desire to be heard, to share your message, to express yourself.

On this note—news headlines might be a bit edgier…
