The New Moon in Gemini 2018 -- Part 3

Well, it was probably Gemini energy that invented "unplayable" music in the first place. And then went to the trouble to write some. And it was Gemini energy that found a way to transcend the limits.
And then it was the Uranus in Gemini group of souls (whose karmic destiny combines the dramatic inspiration and ingenuity of Aquarius -- ruled by Uranus -- applied on a global scale, with the Gemini compulsion to handle huge amounts of assorted information quickly) who came up with the computer and then made it possible for every household -- theoretically again (Lord, how those Air signs love theory!) -- to own one. (Or two.)

Gemini takes the solid foundations provided by its Taurus predecessor ... and makes life Interesting ... with a capital "I." Because for Gemini ... that's what makes life worthwhile!!
Gemini blends, combines, dissects, discovers explanations, theorizes, experiments, looks at cause and effect, understands what's happening in the world it occupies ... and then it broadcasts the news to everyone it can buttonhole long enough to listen.
I mean ... what kind of energy do you suppose dreamed up the telegraph, radio, television, the telephone, the phonograph ... that then allowed expansion into the more Aquarian inventions of the fax machine, the wireless telephone, the video recorder, the home video camera, e-mail, the Internet ......???
Gemini ... that's who. The great communicator.

When this kind of energy is not well-integrated into a personal chart, or when it conflicts with more preferred strategies, it shows up in actions that are nervous, inattentive, scattered, inconsistent and impatient. These natives are easily bored, closed-minded, opinionated, argumentative, unfocused, confused, intellectually proud and intolerant, and sometimes just plain wrong -- but unwilling to admit it.
This energy can also live up to every speck of its reputation for being duplicitous and two-faced ... for Gemini's wonderful communications abilities, turned sour, show up as flattery, deceit, dishonesty, lies, manipulation, and the sweet-talking ways of the cad and the con artist.

The polarity sign for Gemini is Sagittarius -- Mutable Fire. Both are notoriously restless. Both are concerned with dissemination of information. Both can be intellectually stimulating company ... and both can be terrible hypocrites.
Where Gemini is interested in bits and pieces of interesting information and a homogenous mixture of facts, Sagittarius looks for depth of knowledge, intellectual authority, the organization of social rules, and philosophical wisdom.

With the arrival of the New Moon in Gemini, the theme of life's creative cycle -- and the focus of people in general -- becomes more intellectual and dispassionate. There may be more writing and speaking as a way to communicate and less touching and tender looks.
A little more elegance and sophistication perhaps ... but the transfer of emotion and caring loses something in the translation. In fact, people may become a little too cerebral about their feelings -- and both strangely inconsistent and analytical about what they feel and show.
This energy involved with Gemini is the objectivity of the detached observer, the commentator, the scholar and the witness to life. True it can be imaginative, clever, innovative, and quick-witted ... but it lacks something in the area of "heart and soul."

There is extra emphasis on perception, versatility, having "back-ups" and options, and finding answers to questions and problems. It is a good time to read, write, talk with others, gather information, share knowledge and combine disparate elements to create new possibilities.
It is also a good time to look at different sides of various issues, to brainstorm, to experiment with new alternatives, and to be open, adaptable, spontaneous, and changeable.

You may feel restless, easily distracted. You may want a new interest to perk up your zest for living ... and the idea of getting away for a while and seeing some new scenery may have colossal appeal. Doing something impetuous and just for the heck of it may help dispel a lot of tension.
You may also want to just sit and talk to people more than usual ... or catch up on your reading, or investigate a new subject of study ... or sit and carry on a conversation with the voices in your own head. (Don't kid yourself. We all have those guys, and we all talk to them. The wisest of us also listen to them. A lot.)
During Gemini energy is also a good time to invest in communications equipment, electronics and educational opportunities ... unless Mercury is retrograde during this time.
If you've always known there was more to Astrology than Sun Sign material and the three line daily horoscope in the newspaper, climb aboard and follow this blog. You'll find a world of wisdom detailing how you were designed to work with life ... and why you are the way you are -- all in quick-to-read, easy-to-digest-and-remember, written-in-plain-English essays that offer plenty of food for thought.
Little by little, I'm doing a set of articles that talks about all the elements in your horoscope and what they have to say about you. If you "know something" about Astrology -- or know something about your chart placements, that will help you get more from this material.
If you don't ... well, this is one place you can learn. We all have to start somewhere ... because we aren't born knowing this stuff. Meanwhile, if you've never seen your horoscope ... and don't have a clue how to work with it, maybe it's time to find out. There are lots of "chart services" on the internet -- some of whom produce decent, readable charts "for free" and some are so awful and confusing that even I can't read them easily -- and I've worked with charts for decades.
One extremely user-friendly chart site is here: AstroLabe. I recommend them if you want a simple, easy-to-read chart. I think they even give a reasonable little interpretive reading of your horoscope as part of the package. You'll need to know your birth information -- day, month, year, time and geographical place. Without all that your chart will have limited accuracy.
Or, if you want to get serious and really talk about this, upvote this post and start a conversation in the comments section sometime in the next six days from the time of publication. We'll go from there depending on what you want to know.
Questions about any of this? -- Upvote this post and talk to me in comments. It's a terrific way to build value for yourself and the community ... and it will give me ideas of what to write about in future posts. Believe me there is lots to say about the way The Sun, The Moon -- and all the other elements in a horoscope, all the other components of Astrology -- work together to interpret you and your story -- and what it all means to the person you've become.
Although sometimes the background pictures in our visual essays support the topic and text, they don't always. Sometimes the connection is clear. Sometimes it's symbolic and subtle. Sometimes, there's no connection at all.
The scenes depict landscapes and natural features, buildings and wildlife. They were chosen because they show something lovely or interesting ... or simply because the photo appealed to me.
Our spectacular and remarkable planet is changing at astonishing speed. Rarely are these changes for the better. Few people seem to know ... or care ... or have the will and power to do anything about this. It may not be long before the world humans have known and lived in for centuries is forever lost. We certainly won't be able to make repairs as fast as we destroyed it.
So a few years ago I began collecting pictures of the way things were ... and still are for now, a record of the beauty we have while it is still ours to love and honor.
The photos here are part of that collection, with sincere thanks to the artists who saw these moments ... and with their cameras ... preserved them. All of us at Enchanted Spirit are profoundly grateful to them for their generosity and skill ... and for the added grace, depth and dimension their art brings to ours.

Oh my word, why do I see myself & my other self here 👭
Gemini is creative and stuff but lacks the completion part that Sagittarius brings up!
Even though I'm not Gemini but Cancer, with Cancer ascendant I can feel the influence in my chart of Gemini from my Moon and Venus in Virgo placed in third house... Sometimes I wonder if my mom got the time of birth wrong because I feel pretty much Gemini, personality wise... 30 mins earlier my ascendant would make sense... How do you explain that?
I guess it depends on who did the recording of the birth time. Chances are your mom was kind of busy around then and by the time she looked at the clock half an hour could have slipped by. The same with whoever else had the form and pen in hand. If there was any guesswork or rounding off involved ... you could have wound up with this discrepancy. (If there was a doctor involved, for example, he may have just looked at his watch as he was filling out the "paperwork" and written down that time, thinking it would be close enough. That could certainly make a half-hour's difference.)
Try noting the transits to your Ascendant and see when you start really feeling or seeing their effects. If you find things are triggered around the degree of a theoretical Gemini Ascendant ... go ahead and adjust your chart back -- especially if that continues to "make sense" as you said.
If however, that Cancer Ascendant proves to the the sensitive point in your chart, then you'll just have to give a lot more weight to your Moon / Venus in 3rd investment. Where's Mercury in relation to all this? Could that maybe explain some things, too?
