A NEW MOON IN GEMINI
Tuesday brings with it a new Moon in Gemini and with it, a reminder that we have so much sovereignty and agency in how we shape our own perceptions and thus, reality. Choose wisely.
To book in for a chart reading and a deep experience into self-understanding through the lens of astrology, head here. You can follow me on IG over here.
Hi, how are you? We have a really beautiful new moon happening tomorrow here in Sydney. It's just after 1:00 PM on Tuesday, meaning that it will be Monday evening ish in Europe and America. And I really like this new moon. I'm gonna go into Y and I want to talk a little bit about the magic of Gemini and also where we can see its capacity to it. What it does is it essentially is where. We create our perceptions in developmental psychology. So this is me as Gemini. This is gonna be very Gemini, uh, in developmental psychology. This is the stage where the child begins to label their reality. You know, it might be mom. Dad, a dog table, and Gemini is where we construct our perceptions of reality based through. The what we're having mirrored to us like the physical reality, but then also the information, the ideas, the constructs, everything that we're opening ourselves to receive. Gemini is wildly mutable. It is incredibly adaptive and porous, and I think that it is on the level with Pisces in terms of its capacity to be chameleon. Sorry, if you had that, um, car and here in Gemini, that cap chameleon aspect is chameleon in terms of like the, the liquid, the liquidity of reality. And something that I, I've been reading quite a bit about AI this week and I've tried out chat. GPTI was curious, uh, and I think it's. S Yeah, I'm, I'm not a, I'm not a fan, um, for various reasons. Some I might go into. I was just listening to a, a podcast on my drive home from the mountains with Zach Bush, who was just right up there as one of the ultimate legends currently alive, in my opinion. Um, is just such a beautiful. Cha, uh, channel. And I love that he comes from this scientific and medical background and then is just such a gorgeous receiver of Yeah, go. Beautiful wisdom. And he was saying how. Chat, GPT, for example, or the artificial intelligence that we currently have developed is based on NLS, which is natural language systems, so human language, um, and he is. He has a project, well, he's working with a woman who has a project called Project Biome, and they're wanting to utilize or input the data of Earth. So Earth knowledge, not just human language knowledge. Um, and to be able to interface with that, uh, like the real motherboard, let's say, versus. Our language, our concepts. Um, and I saw a research paper just came out. This is, this is so Gemini, because I'm giving you like third, fourth hand information here. I, I just tried to look up the. The university that it was from, or where I had saved this intel, and I can't find it, but I'm still gonna tell you. Uh, a paper just came out very, very recently from a university that created, uh, bots or had created this form of AI that was working on Reddit. This forum, I've, I've never been on it before. Um, so I don't really know how it works, but the AI was interfacing with people and then whoever it was communicating with its objective was to change their ideas. To change their, how they felt about things. How, how they thought about things, specific things. And what it would do is it accessed the profiles of the individual that it was working to change the mind of, and it was able to scan all of their beliefs that they had displayed through their relationship with the internet, through social media, et cetera, et cetera. And it was incredibly successful in changing the minds of these people because it was utilizing language that was specific to the individuals and, and was filtered through the beliefs and the ideas that these people had already demonstrated that they allied themselves with, that they aligned themselves with. This is like Gemini. Dark Lord Crack medicine. Uh, you know, even chat GBT, it utilizes mirroring and validation and it's very easy to get warped from our own instincts or to get warped from nature. If we are going, if we are asking. Questions or seeking guidance from an intelligence that is based off of our languaging, that's based off of the mental plane. It's just like we're able to gleam, maybe two, 3% are making up that percentage, and I'm exaggerating it like a Gemini would for, for, for effect. But we are just lying on the surface of what is possible and what is knowledge we're seeking, comfort we're seeking, and, and receiving comfort and mirroring that actually provides more of a warp and more of a discord and disconnect to the whole. And you know, I think I've said this on here several times. I grew up on Terminated two and Sarah Connor and so I, I have this slight ugh apprehension already and yeah, what Gemini is able to do so beautifully is mirror you. You know, you, you talk to a Gemini for long enough, or if you have mercury there, uh. We will mirror your facial expressions. We'll map all of them first. Your facial expressions, your body language, your tone of voice, the landscape that you're standing amongst, and we'll be able to mirror those two very quickly. Like it's part of our magic. And we all have Gemini, right? We all have this codex alive in our, um, I wanna say archetypal human software. However, the true magic of Gemini is, its questioning mind, is its openness, is its curiosity. I think that this is, and I don't mean this physically, but on a cellular level, this is where Gemini is like, has access to the fountain of youth. I don't mean staying physically young forever, but. Almost like genetically young because it remains open and curious to life where it gets sticky and where our individual and collective lives gets sticky is when it becomes narrow. Is when we take on a perspective or we take on a belief that may have served us at one point, but we never question it again. Let's say that colors our perceptual lens of reality, and then we begin to engage with reality from that baseline. Gemini season is a wonderful time to bring consciousness to the words that you use, how you spell, and I mean that in a literal sense. The magical, literal sense, how you spell out your reality through the words that you use with voice, the words that you write. And then within the inner narrators of the psyche, who has dominance? Is it ego voice? Is it the voice that's telling you that you're separate and the best and the hottest? Um, what has agency, what are your overall perspectives of. Your life right now of human life right now there is so much angst and horror and terrifying. Uh, and there is also so much. Newness in perspective and an ancientness in perspective that is really present and alive and and exciting, I think where on many levels budding up against the old world, quote unquote, and the yuckiness. The staleness of the model that we have been living for some time now. When you inhabit your open questioning mind, what else is possible for you in the way that you live your life, in the way that we all live in, in the things that we value and put at the forefront? Of our minds. We have this beautiful new moon tomorrow at lunchtime, and we'll be in this new moon phase, really up until Friday evening. So we're here for a lot of this week, and this is the sun and the moon dancing together in Gemini and and gorgeously Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, this messenger. That flits through the worlds unscathed by what it sees. Objective, open, curious, passing on messengers from underworld, immortal round to immortal realm and back again. It's here as well. The Claire Cognizance is. Very open. It is for all of us at all times. However, energetically astrologically, it's more pronounced right now. And in order to receive any form of intel, we need to have a clear field. We, we, we are being inundated with so much information that's filled with strong emotion at the same time. And a lot of it we aren't processing because we're taking in so much through scrolling, whatever it is we're taking in so much intel. What do you do with that? How do you process that? If you are not, it is like, the way I see it is like it's space junk in your field and. Clarity of thought, clarity of intel. Your intuitive self needs to do a lot more bumping into the space junk before it can get to you if there's clutter there. This New Moon and this first week of Gemini first couple is in beautiful relationship to Pluto in Aquarius. To Neptune and Saturn that are now dancing together in Aries. These are trines, these are sex tiles. This is very, very beautiful, clear, fast messaging with Saturn and Neptune here in Aries. And with both of these being in great aspect to the sun, the moon, and Mercury. The intel is thick and fast. It may be coming through imagination. It may be coming through the downloads. It's these seeds of knowledge that are full of so much information that just land. It's our ideas. It's the thoughts. It may be the conversations that we have over this time. Pluto trining this as well. We're getting to touch into. What is the new, if I draw a map of what's possible, what's landing again for myself, collectively, we're able to access so much more information, and we have fire here as well, which is the Aries component. We've been refining our Mars. We've been refining our Aries this year. And over the previous 18 months with the north node here, there's, there's no, there is so much beauty in the patterns that play out in our solar system. We are having a refinement, a very intentional refinement around our willpower, around our intentions, about where we are putting our attention, intention, action, energy. We are, we're refining the wants, needs, and desires of the self. There's a lot of information instinctually in your body that is calling to be present and leading here. With satin here, we receive, as I was saying last week, the practical intelligence, the long game, what foundations. Can I be building now with the action that I take? The ideas are coming thick and fast with the sun in Gemini for all of this season, but with this new Moon, how can you open yourself and speak forth what needs to be spoken? Command your space. Command your intentions through Word, write it down. This is an incredible time to be allowing yourself free freeform writing, whether that's pen to paper, whether it's speaking it aloud and recording it through voice, whether it's on the computer. What do you have to say now? What wants to be said through you right now? You don't need to share it with anyone. Though you can, but this is how we can play with this new moon. Cast it into word. Your words are wildly powerful to yourself and out in the world, and just notice what drops in. This week for all of Gemini, but here with this new moon, with Mercury, such a strong part of the process and the moon in Gemini as well. This is clear cognizance, air is clear. Cognizance, this is Intel. Dropping in through the mental plane, lightning bolts, shooting down these electrical currents of thought. So yeah. That's all I have to say this week. It feel, I, I love this new moon. I really love it. It's just all in such great aspect. All the big boys, all the major players are in great aspect here and it just feels like they want the mic. There's, there's a lot to be said. There's a lot to be expressed. A lot of that's gonna be nonverbal. And hope you have a beautiful week.
