Today, May 28, 2014, we have a New Moon in the mutable air sign of Gemini, symbolized by the Twins.
TWINNING AND DUALITY
This is a titillating New Moon, folks. When Gemini is active, the stimulating energy of Mercury/Hermes will not let us go to sleep, no. Consciousness is awake. We have to talk about things, we have to ponder, listen and speak. We are moved to communicate and learn. And, we have to make choices. This or that – what will it be? Now is the exciting time of charting new courses, informed by observations about yourself and the Other. The Other may be another person (partner, sibling, coworker, etc.), and the Other may be a project or passion staring you in the face. It’s time to change, and get moving – physically and/or mentally.
Gemini is the quintessential sign of duality, of the twins – it represents opposites that are equal. Duality, seen in the symbol of yin and yang, is what makes the world appear as it is. It is mutable perspective. There will never be a good God without a bad Devil. There will never be a poor beggar without a rich king. And there will never be a man without a woman, a liberal without a conservative, one opinion without an opposing view. This can be exhausting, unless there is realization that non-duality is the way through the madness.
Opposites are apparent; they are ephemeral appearances in time and space. The yin and yang symbol is encompassed in a circular form, representing the Whole. The entire universe is a Whole. This must be kept in mind, clung to as truth, and eventually it will go straight to the heart. It must be embodied and awakened in us via self-realization, culminating in lasting peace in life, no matter what the external conditions.

MOVE AND BE MOVED
At this time of the New Moon in Gemini, we can take a look at how we are stimulated to DO things, to SAY things and MOVE things – including our bodies, our points of view, our flow of energy – as a result of an equal, yet DIFFERENT force or person appearing in our field of experience. Do we automatically react and try to push this influence away? Do we reject the Other (person, situation, point of view) with an inner or outer argument? Or do we assimilate the Twin into our seeing of Wholeness? The old axiom, “What you resist, persists,” holds true here. Suffering will result unless the opposition is accepted as it/he/she is. Acceptance does not mean we are passive doormats. We move like Jedi knights and Zen princesses - correctly, as needed in the moment. We do not have to lose our uniqueness. In fact, individuation is a vital, exciting part of being alive. We allow ourselves to be moved, and we allow ourselves to affect others, in an ever-flowing dance of life.
Fly high!

Travel Video for New Moon: I used to create short video montages of my travels in India and beyond. This one is meant to pay respects to my intense life as a writer on the road, a very movable, Gemini traveling time in my life in which I was living light (out of a backpack) and spending time with my spiritual teacher Ramesh Balsekar (a Gemini) in Bombay. I set the video to John Denver’s song, “The Eagle and the Hawk,” a great Gemini flight song. If you remember that song from the 1970’s, turn up the volume and enjoy. I loved it as a kid, and it still inspires me to soar. Enjoy.

New Moon in Gemini
May 28, 2014
After purifying my Osho Zen Tarot deck and calling upon my guides, here are my channeled messages for the New Moon in Gemini:
UNIVERSAL CARD (for everyone):
XX – BEYOND ILLUSION
If we look beyond the ephemeral appearance of objects, others, and opinions in time and space, we come to a place of ultimate reality. This understanding brings peace. All else is temporary, and clinging to changeable phenomena brings suffering. Judgment of self and others perpetuates the illusion, so why hold strongly to beliefs? Why criticize points of view? Of this card, the Zen Tarot says, “These judgments keep us trapped in our illusions, our sleepiness, our old habits and patterns. Drop your opinionated mind, and move inside. There, you can relax into your own deepest truth, where the difference between dreams and reality is already known.”
ARIES:
QUEEN OF WATER - RECEPTIVITY
You’re moving into a space of no expectations, and no demands, either on yourself or of Life or another. Try to flow with the go at this Gemini New Moon. You will have so many Aries “just do it!” ideas, thoughts and new impressions moving through your daily world. Try to hop like a frog from lily pad to lily pad, or imagine yourself skipping through the forest without a care. Tomorrow will be different, and the next minute will show a new face. It’s not a time to hold firm to your concepts of what should be. Float downstream and let the waters of consciousness nourish your soul. Be sure to get outside and swim in a lake, river, or ocean – you need it to replenish.
TAURUS:
TWO OF RAINBOWS – MOMENT TO MOMENT
The Bull is a master of conscious moment to movement, from movement to stillness, and back again. This is the beauty of being. You are a peaceful master of life. You know in your heart that this will also change, and that there is no such thing as the future. Where is the future (or the past for that matter)? It doesn’t exist. If you feel over-stimulated by the workings of the world, city, or work, take time to simply breathe. Sit at your desk, or on your meditation cushion, and regroup. You don’t need to manufacture or buy into a busy mind to justify your existence. See what arises in consciousness, in Life, all by itself.
GEMINI:
FOUR OF FIRE - PARTICIPATION
This is a time to integrate all elements of being in your sphere: air, earth, water, fire, and ether (spirit) into a combined whole. Set aside adhering to one small part of isolated existence, and get INVOLVED into a unified whole. Step outside your comfort zone and join a group, play on a team, go on a journey with a bunch of folks. The bigger picture needs your individual contribution, and it won’t work if you sit home and stare at the computer screen. Get off Facebook and interact with real, live persons! You need it, Gemini.
CANCER:
THE MASTER
A new Teacher is coming into your life, Cancer. This could be a spiritual master or guide. It could also be a healer or counselor, a new pet, or a neighbor, or even a garden or home project. Something or someone has a much different, yet very important, seed of consciousness to bring you. It is time for you to awaken into a deeper state of knowing. Allow yourself to be transformed and let the old you fall away. Remember: The Master may give you a whack on the behind in order to wake you up. It’s not personal! Surrender.
LEO:
SEVEN OF WATER - PROJECTIONS
Are you having an honest relationship with the Other in your sphere? Make sure you aren’t projecting your old family drama or deep-seated fears onto the people in your life. We are especially susceptible to putting our conditioned mind onto romantic partners, authority figures, and family members, for they hit the hidden places in our selves that need to be brought to light. Do your best to see the other person for who they are, without trying to change them. Practice.
VIRGO:
XI - BREAKTHROUGH
Finally! You’ve overcome an old calcified part of your body-mind conditioning and it feels so liberating! Maybe you’ve had to endure a spell of pain, or you’ve had to use all your spiritual might to break through the blocks, but you’ve done it. If it hasn’t happened in the last few days, you can be sure that within the next few weeks, a major shift of consciousness is coming. Your life will never be the same. You’ve stored up a lot of soul strength for this to occur. Welcome the freed up energy (shakti) that comes through this blasting change in life.
LIBRA:
Look around at the abundance overflowing in your life, Libra! Whether you recognize it or not, your physical health, and your business and material worlds are in a great position now, Libra. You look like you’re going to have a dy-no-mite summer. Plenty to give, plenty to share. Plenty to eat and plenty to drink. You won’t have a shortage of offers to play and indulge. Set aside time for a luxurious holiday. Even if it’s just a few days – the best time is end of July through mid-August. Start planning, or go sooner!
SCORPIO:
QUEEN OF CLOUDS - MORALITY
Scorpio is a profoundly wise, magical, mystical sign. Yet, when Scorpio does not evolve into the Serpent Eagle, it can pass such severe judgment on the Other person that it will never, ever forgive and forget. Are there persons or groups of people in your life that you are still holding in bondage with an air of superiority, bordering on severity? Are there parts of your self that you keep locked in chains because you feel betrayed? Try applying the Gemini perspective at this time and have an open-minded conversation with those parts of yourself, or other people, and remove the chains that bind. Free yourself and them. Have mercy.
SAGITTARIUS:
SAGITTARIUS:
VI – THE LOVERS
In the Tarot, the sign of Gemini is represented by the Lovers. And, Gemini is the opposite sign of Sagittarius. Gemini energy can drive you nuts, Saggy, because sometimes it doesn’t take the Whole Big Picture into account. It stays stuck in minutiae and bogs you down with trivialities or arguments, while you like to take a bird’s eye view. Keep in mind that each of those small points of view are inextricable from the big picture. This week or next, you will be faced with a major life decision. Try making an old-fashioned list of pros and cons. If that doesn’t work, flip a coin. You can’t make a mistake!
CAPRICORN:
PAGE OF CLOUDS - MIND
The New Moon in Gemini is bringing up all sorts of questions in you about lifestyle, daily habits, and your health. How do you keep control and authority in your life when there are all these other PEOPLE asking things of you, and taking priority over healthy habits? Capricorn, you like to be responsible, but sometimes trying to keep everything in control causes you to lose it mentally, which affects your health. If you feel confused, drop the mind. Get outside, take a walk, practice yoga or meditation – anything to get you out of believing the clutter in your head.

AQUARIUS:
PAGE OF FIRE - PLAYFULNESS
You deserve a break today! And, you need a few new pieces of clothing to add to your costume wardrobe. Try some new fun colors for summer – be bright and be charismatic in your appearance. You have a zany, unique way of looking at the world, and you’re often far ahead of the rest of the world with your perceptions and ideas. Don’t be afraid to self-express your individuality. Have a good time stirring up the airwaves and making others think twice about their own concept of reality.
PISCES:
IV – THE REBEL
Pisces can feel burdened by the woes of the world sometimes, and restricted by its demands. You are not meant to get overly stressed by the madness of society. You know you don’t have to do it like the culture tells you to do it. Right now, this need to bust out of bondage is appearing in your home or family life. Have courage and fortitude, and make a bold statement by changing your residence or rootedness in some significant manner. A vital Fish needs a healthy pond, so make it happen!
