New Moon Eclipse May 20, 2012
There is so much going on that I hardly know where to focus! But this is a Moon Alert so I will start there. The New Moon May 20, 2012 at 7:47 pm EDT is a partial Solar Eclipse and falls on the critical degree of 0 Gemini 20. Of course this New Moon has the same emphasis of new beginnings that all new moons have, but this one is stronger and longer lasting than the regular lunation. The energy of Gemini I think was best summed up by Stephanie Austin in her article in The Mountain Astrologer/Issue #162 ‘The Gemini Solar Eclipse’ “Gemini, represented by the Twins, symbolizes the learning gained by the exploration of duality”. This energy is inspiring new thoughts and new ideas to come faster every day so that we hardly know where to start. Gemini is mental energy, communications, travel, media, books and magazines, Internet. The negative side is it can be scattered thinking, gossip, mis-interpretations of communications especially with our neighbors and extended family. With this eclipse energy new beginnings in these areas of our lives are ripe for development. At a deeper level duality is Maya. The challenge is to go beyond duality into the Unity of the Light of Love. The New Moon Eclipse also squares Neptune and Chiron newly in Pisces so this energy will challenge us to listen to our intuition, our dreams and visions and of course to clarify any communications. New beginnings now are challenging us to heal through forgiveness any feelings of separation and aloneness that keep us from communicating who we really are. Venus turned retrograde on May 15th at 24 Gemini and will remain till she turns direct on June 28th at 8 Gemini. During this phase the things ruled by Venus, how we satisfy our needs for love and belongingness, what we value, creativity and art, romance and finances, will all seem the hardest lessons for dealing with in the next six months. Venus may bring an old flame back to look at again, and we usually struggle harder getting what we want from those we love and feel needy for love and understanding with Venus retrograde. Venus will also make this Retro Phase even more important when on June 6th she transits the Sun, which will be visible on the West coast only. A lot has been written about this celestial show on the Internet and if you just google ‘Transit of Venus’ you will get more than needed. Some of the most important things about this ‘Transit of Venus’ are that it is the end of an approx 6,000-year cycle of these phenomena that occurs around the Zodiac in a Pentagram Pattern when finished! This Transit of Venus on June 6th is also a twin to the one that took place in June of 2004 eight years ago. And could indicate a connection with what ever happened in your life at that time being taken to a new level of understanding and communication. Expanding the Gemini connection to universal mind! On that same day June 6, 2012 Uranus will square Pluto for the second of five times between 2011 and 2015, bringing many challenges for change in our society. Many young people with new ideas will transform how we do business at a very basic level. But I have gotten ahead of myself a bit since there is also another Moon Alert before then…right now let us get ready for the influx of new and exciting ways to communicate with each other and the universe. The Sabian Symbol below was taken from Sabian Symbols: A Screen of Prophecy by Diana E. Roche GEMINI 1 A glass-bottomed boat in still water. THEME: Window of Opportunity. This symbol speaks to sensitivity or a heightened awareness of the need to take timely action or seize the moment when it arises, if the opportunity is not to be lost. The image of a glass-bottomed boat in still water suggests an open eye, and it symbolizes perception and the ability to see things clearly. Still water symbolizes emotional poise, detachment and the unconscious. The emphasis in this symbol is on objectivity or the absence of mind set, prejudice and preconceptions. It also emphasizes discrimination and the necessity that an individual be able to distinguish his own opportunities from another's. On a practical level, this symbol can indicate the entrepreneur or the opportunist. Positive: At its highest, this symbol represents clairvoyance, psychological insight and a remarkable talent for quickly recognizing opportunities. Negative: Voyeurism and intrusiveness or aloofness and emotional detachment. During this New Moon Eclipse phase the accent is on perception. Something you have been trying to understand may suddenly become clear to you today. Your greatest advantage lies in using this time of clear seeing to look into new opportunities. Strike while the iron is hot. Guard against overstepping your bounds and sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong. Keywords: Curiosity, awareness, perception, vision, insight, clairvoyance, emotional poise, voyeurism, detachment, aloofness. Again I want to remind everyone that I am taking appointments for clients who want to update their charts as to where and how these powerful eclipses and the Venus transit falls in their natal and progressed charts. Updates are $85.00

Today, April 2, 2012 is the last day Venus will be in Tarsus, at 11:18 am April 3, 2012 she will move into Gemini. Venus will spend until August 6, 2012 in Gemini about four times as long as she will in passing through the other signs this year. And she will make a remarkable trek through Gemini with a retrograde period starting May 16th at 24 Gemini and turning direct June 28th at 8 Gemini. But the momentous alignment of Venus to the Sun and Earth called the Venus Transit is going to make this beginning of summer a spectacular event! Some of us may remember the last Venus Transit of June 2004 and this is the twin to that one eight years ago. And coming close within the Eclipse period of the New Moon Eclipse on May 20th at 0 Gemini 20 and the Full Moon Eclipse on June 4th at 14 Sagittarius 13. In a 243-year Venus Transit Cycle there are 2 pairs that are spaced 121.5+-8 years apart. There is some really interesting information on the Internet about the intricacies of this Venus Transit Cycle and how it completes it’s Pentagonal pattern this June 2012. The strong influence of Venus in your chart can be found in the area of life (house) that she is transiting, find Gemini in your natal chart. Then look for the houses Venus rules or where Tarsus and Libra are in your natal chart. Venus rules the heart charka and the Thymus gland or the immune system. It rules over what you value in life how you find peace and balance through your individual creativity, fun and joy. When there is no peace or balance it expresses in a needy emotional greediness. . Negatively it expresses as a lack of tact or social grace. This is a very powerful time for feminine healing to take place and for women to unite in sisterhood and community to bring peace and balance into their lives. A birthing of a new way of communicating love and joy through art, music and dance and singing! This energy is focused on the building of a strong thymus and the hormones it produces will prolong health and youth. There is a perception change coming this summer for every one to view health in a new way and the key is joyful leisure activities. This Transit of Venus is going to take each one of us up another notch in our total belief in oneness and the possibilities that may bring into our lives. Your values and beliefs are going to be tested and hopefully we will all value a deeper source of peace and balance in our lives. Social gatherings and circles especially with a spiritual emphasis will be the norm in most people’s lives as we come into the Venus light and energy. We will want to find others that want also to enjoy these good times. I am taking appointments to do updates on the specific placement of these Eclipses and the Venus Transit in your natal chart and what it may bring into your life! Updates are $85.00 love, light, laughter june collier june@wiredog.com www.AstrologywithJune.com 276 655 3748 PO Box 112 Elk Creek, VA 24326
