New Moon May 25, 2017 ~ Gemini Decan 1 (darkstarastrology.com)

The New Moon here can emphasis the very darkest aspects of Gemini 1. This is because the Moon represents the unconscious and this decan especially deals with having to face one’s shadow. The problem here is that it is very hard to see shadows in the dark, and it is much more likely that the collective at this time will project the bogey men onto others. Another problem is running away from intimacy. The New Moon in this decan is very uncomfortable with really deep emotions. Conversely we may see people in the media doing a great impression of being really sentimental and gushing. However, when it comes to the gut-wrenching, ugly expressions of raw feeling the fakes will run a mile.

Those touched by the New Moon May 2017 will have little patience with other people’s hangups and neurosis. But in the end, paradoxically this attitude will greatly help heal deep, dark shadows by these seemingly harsh words of intolerance. So New Moon in Gemini 1. A good New Moon or telling it how it is! But you also have to take the raw truth back.

New Moon May 2017 Summary

This Gemini New Moon with its stormy energy might whip revolutionary Saturn trine Uranus into action. In my research there was clearly a theme of record breaking, flight and speed! Think of a spinning top, quite benign looking, but goes wild if you throw it off balance. When Uranus was discovered in 1781 it broke the barrier between the visible planets and the dimension of the trans personal. It heralded a time of revolutions and rebellions, including the most famous and tumultuous French Revolution of 1789. (The American Revolution was also during this period ending in 1783.) I will talk more about revolutions with relevance to the recent election in France in the coming YouTube video.
