Yesterday I was telling my man that it seems like the Mockingbirds that live in our garden want our attention. Their repertoire has catchy hooks and tempo changes that makes them the pop stars of the avian scene. Serendipitously, the oracular message from the Sabian Symbols for this New Moon, at Gemini 29 is The First Mockingbird Of Spring Sings From The Tree Top.
Lynda Hill, the Australian astrologer that has explored Sabian Symbols (channeled meanings for Zodiac degrees) in depth sees this Gemini New Moon as all about finding your voice.
Hill writes, "The Sabian Symbol is one of using, or finding, ones voice. What is it that you want to say? What announcements do you have to make? What revolutions do you have to reveal? What have you been wanting to speak or write about, but have been reticent (or afraid) to lift up your voice? It seems that now is the time to find that voice; to strike those chords and get the message out. "
Over the weekend, I took part in a play festival as one of six playwrights. What fascinated me, is the similar themes, even the same phrases, that showed up in the pieces. Gemini is a sign with antennae for reading minds. One aspect at the New moon is traveling Jupiter (Gemini) in a square to boundless Neptune (Pisces). It's curious how we go fishing in the bigger sea, picking up or passing on impressions. Someone's chatter or comment online follows us into dreams, or with imaginative work, for example.
That's why especially in the fluid and changeable void of a Gemini New Moon, it's worth strategically placing yourself in atmospheres that stimulate all your faculties (in a good way). Be where you'll be picking up the brightest, most inspired messages. That might be in silence, among the birds (that'll be me today). Or with music or a friend that takes you places in the mind and imagination. If your setting is noisy, sneak some moments to escape the norm, to rest or change your tune.
Where does 28-29 Gemini fall in your birth chart? This area is ripe for things to fall into place. Also, look at Gemini-Pisces (degrees 1 to 3) as portals for a great escape. Some momentum happens, when matrices of thinking or belief dissolve, and a way is cleared. Gemini New Moon is exact Tuesday, June 19th at 8:02 Pacific and 11:02 am EDT; London time is 3:02 pm; Sydney is June 20th at 1:03 am. Find your time on the World Clock.

Thanks, Molly, I’ve been trying to find my voice these days, by the sea, as if someone has been whispering the message I have to convey. I will put it on paper tomorow – it is ripe!
Best, Eve
Hi Molly,
And thanks! I will be with very upbeat and positive people at Pamela Bruner’s Tapping Seminar. We will be working on clearing a lot of beliefs that are not working for us. I will definitely be in an atmosphere that stimulates my faculties!
Thanks again!
Hi, Molly~
June 19th is the day before my B-day, and I will be seeking a quiet place alone for a few hours…for thinking, feeling and thanking all the energies that make this happen~
This New Moon in Gemini this morning was in exact conjunction with my (True) Black Lilith.
I had given myself a couple of days to just wallow. For the past however many months, I have been trying so hard to feel BETTER, do BETTER, and just generally BE BETTER. On Saturday evening, I realized that I really needed to just give in, give up, give out just for a little while. I have done nothing toward my betterment or even maintenance these past two days. I have done whatever whenever and just not given a damn. During this time, I have had a flock of wild and crazy dreams in which I had magical powers of various sorts. I seem to have relaxed control of even my dreaming mind.
Yesterday, I headed back into the fray, with a renewed sense of what I NEED to do, rather than what I think I SHOULD do. I guess I just really needed tostep back and ask myself why I was bothering.
Just after the New Moon, I swam a full mile at the pool and discovered that I am now able to swim with a speed and stamina I have not possessed in 20 years! I then started gathering images for the first collage I have created this year.

Eve, to be near the sea, how wonderful.
Colleen, I hope the seminar was ‘all that’ for you and MORE.
Happy Birthday Katt – that’s what my sister goes by. Hope you had a great day.
Mari, what a great story of hitting that — oh so elusive moment of surrender. Wow – I haven’t swam a mile since I was a teenager. Great to hear of your shift, thanks for sharing! I’ve felt a delayed reaction from risks I took over the weekend. A lot of clearing, even physical, and that’s added to sense of not wanting to get back into same rhythm, same habits.
I also…. have hit a huge momentum, a vast sea, of surrender.
I’ve been charging ahead since the year kicked off — largely via absorbing vast quantities of information, reading on the internet, connecting facebook, taking classes, coordinating all these class, monitoring & “trying to get things to happen” with certain people socially, romantically — which has kept me in a state of being overly in my head — over-thinking, head-tripping, future-tripping, operating & relating so much from mental concepts & filters, & not from deeper being………. Kind of riled up that “this is 2012!!!!”, pivotal year… I need to get things going!!! Plus work has been intense, my schedule intense, living in NYC. No time to relax.
And yet — the moment has arrived. Most poignantly in the form of relationship fallout like I detailed in another comment… & also a sense of… I’m burning myself out anyway. I always blamed it on my Mars Aquarius (future & information oriented), but…… that’s just a concept too, now isn’t it?
Even if there is something to that, Mars in Aquarius is just an aspect of me, not the center of me, & – it could be better *integrated*. More healthily integrated ~ into the fluid, smiling peace of my whole.
Anyway, at this moment… my schedule frees up for summer & — I’m just ready to let it all go…..
I know it’s possible, feel its necessity…. & wonderfully, feel the exact space inside of me that I need to access, to reside in from now on.
“Below the mind”, so to speak. The Taoist Master I just studied with talked about using the Second Brain (the ‘brain in the gut’ – there’s a book by this title) & letting the First Brain rest.
Meditation, practice is key in this… being in nature, stepping away from the computer more often, but also…. just making that decision to surrender & — BE CHILL.
I still have my projects & endeavors but ~ want to create a cushion of space & peace around them. I want to COME FROM MY CENTER — my peaceful deep eternal spirit, & — not from the mind, not from mental concepts.
Priorities going forward:
Deepest * PEACE *(Surrender into it)
Deep COMMUNICATION (with others in my life, for relationship health – making this a new priority — feels like a mature step, good.)
& – Just plain being CHILL. About everything. Staying chill. Operating from chill.
Thanks for letting me say my 25 cents here yet again, Molly!
