Make Connection
Hello!
It’s Gemini season and as I write the Moon is fresh in Gemini but still dark and in its final phase, very soon to be in its New Moon glory.
Gemini unites us. It links all the threads we receive in our mind and delivers it in spoken form, the written word, any way that can be translated and disseminated out to the world.
I have a Gemini Moon and one of my favourite things is to link up the world. To join thoughts and bring people together for meetings of the mind. Communicating, sharing, chatting and discussing are food for my soul.
We are hardwired for connection
Gemini loves the activation and stimulation of making connections with one idea and the next, one person and another. Being together and being uplifted by telling our stories, revealing ourselves, honestly giving our voices to what we know and want to know.
Making the time to make connection has been very much on my mind this year. When the world’s narrative feels like it’s changing each day, along with our place in it, everything feels easier when we stay in conversation.
A New Moon of Increased Connection
Gemini is a brilliant conversationalist because it’s constantly in connection. It’s earthly challenge, though, is to make mindful connection with who and what is really worth knowing.
This New Moon has the potential for a lovely reawakening of our thought processes. With the Gemini Sun, Moon and Venus enmeshed and entwined, and Jupiter and Mercury close by, it’s a feelgood, positive thought fest.
Not in an unreal, unlikely sense but one where your antenna is amped to pick up on what’s right for you. Linking you to voices you want to hear, content and situations that are aligned with what matters. Asking you to engage with people you love and care about. And care for you too.
Jupiter’s recent shift from the solidity of Taurus to the versatility of Gemini, where it will stay until June 2025, is a massive upswing for the evolution of our expression. Its expansive properties broaden our opportunities to speak, increase our potential to be heard, and open us up to more conversation, more learning possibilities and internal lightbulb moments.
But it can also scatter our attention too widely. We don’t want to spread ourselves thin, taking on so many projects at once. If the invitations are flowing, be mindful of your cognitive abilities because your focus, not to mention your nervous system, has capacity for only so much.
Luckily this New Moon has Saturn squaring off to the side, reminding us to be discerning about the data we’re ingesting and generating. Encouraging us to try to take in one thing well at a time. And especially to remain open to listening with intent, presence and awareness.
“One of the most powerful ways for people not to feel deeply alone is for them to feel listened to.”
Be Your Own Muse
If this feels out of reach for you, remember New Moons are opportunities to plant seeds for brand new cycles of awareness. This New Moon is a seed planter, for sure. Make the intention to listen to yourself kindly, to not judge your inner voice harshly. To talk to yourself as if you were speaking to a friend.
Gemini is your friend. It keeps you company by keeping you curious. It gives you perspective when you need another angle, or a whisper when you need a nudge. It’s the part of you that wants to create your own narrative, your own information piece, for the ultimate collaboration ~ you and your imagination.
It’s also the part of you that may never feel complete, that’s multi-hyphenate, dualistic, contradictory and varied. The story that always shifts. That’s okay. We don’t want life to be static. Paths should be explored and new ones made.
The Gemini in you needs both space and connection to feel close. Take time apart from whatever you’re unsure about to feel back on track. To find yourself again, fall in love with yourself again. To rediscover your values. And align your mind with what makes sense.
Practical Magic
Your friends will remind you of what’s important. Our friends are our life raft. They hold us up and give us certainty. Holding each other up with our connection.
Give someone the gift of your voice. We are social creatures and we’re here to support each other, to see each other in real life, responding in real time. But if you don’t feel like being out in the world, or circumstances don’t allow you to be rubbing shoulders, call someone. We’re only a phone call or message away. An “I’ve been thinking of you”. “Are you okay?”
“Relationships require frequent pulse checks with one another.”
Keep your lines of communication open ~ shut down and we close off so many opportunities. Have reverence for the moments when you need quiet too. Some silent reflection to take it all in, process where you’ve been and understand your next steps.
Trust your gut. Learn to listen out for your real inner voice, the one that speaks clearly and calmly, not over and over, shouty or judgemental. The voice that is your intuition and doesn’t need to repeat itself, because you just know.
Make connection and the conversation begins.
Love,
