What kind of person are you?
I’m the kind of person who… will buy a brioche with chocolate from the swanky (but not expensive) Italian bakery and eat it slowly over the late morning AND buy fresh-pressed organic unsweetened cranberry juice for my bladder.
I need sweet luxury and I watch my health.
Welcome Sun in Gemini, with planets still in Taurus.
Gemini says: DO BOTH.

I didn’t blog yesterday and it feels like I’ve been gone a lifetime. Wasn’t feeling so well and thought I had a UTI thus the cranberry oh jeez this really is the New Moon (and transiting Node in Gemini) squaring MY natal North Node in Pisces in my 6th House: HEALTH.
***
Have you discovered the Eclipse in your chart yet? Zero degrees Gemini. But you also want to look at late Taurus and if YOU are a late Taurus or an early Gemini? Hmm… .Share with us the energy of your day, of the next two weeks even.

So this morning I was on the train, heading to the city to visit a kitty cat, a frail little thing, and on the train I was reading a most awesome Jeanne Avery book and I began to think about the Sagittarius side of this day. Sagittarius opposes Gemini on the wheel and Eclipses come in pairs so the one today is Gemini and the one in two weeks is Sagittarius and I began to think of heaven.
Why heaven? Ms. Avery was talking about Saturn being earth and Jupiter being heaven (reaching for the stars!) and how some Sagittarians tend to…. overdo or overshoot or hope for the best and they need Saturn to… give their plans reality. Where you have Jupiter or Sagittarius in your chart is where you will keep coming back for more 🙂 The eternal optimist.
And I thought to myself: Self! This Eclipse will bring not just one change, it will bring one and two and three and four. Multiple. There will be many heavens. Heavens of all kinds.
***
What To Expect From This Eclipse:
1.
information and not all of it clear. The New Moon squares Neptune. You don’t need to decide.
2.
the New Moon squares Chiron (wider orb). It can get better. The House where the Eclipse is taking place has the information, has the guidebook. The other houses have the details, the vision, the horizon. They say Chiron “can’t be healed” and that’s fine. BUT maybe healing or solving isn’t the point.
3.
the New Moon squares Mars (again, a wider orb): emotions and details don’t always mix i.e. it can be hard to fine-tune the details when you’re flooded with tears or rage or tears of rage. Take breaks. Rest. That’s what I did. I am waking up from a most awesome nap before continuing my readings.
4.
the New Moon sextiles Uranus: if you can wait, if you can take your time, if you can resist the Uranian need to break out or disrupt… the solution will come. See #1 above.
5.
And of course the New Moon opposes the True Node in Sagittarius and thus there shall be a letting go, a permanent kind. It really is dead and gone. Find early degrees of Sagittarius in your chart. Some things, people, situations NEED to be dead and gone from your life!

Take comfort. Seriously. As I type this the Sun is newly in Gemini but the Moon and Mercury and Jupiter are in late Taurus.
May this earth buffer and balance you. May it feed you, delight you. May the world sparkle when you gaze at it.
Happy Sun in Gemini!
Love, MP

I found your 5 point list very helpful. I’ve been ruminating all weekend about someone getting in touch with me last week, which I think was venus retrograde related. I’ve been battling in my mind to make a decision about this person and I can’t come to a solution. I finally decided that saying ‘I don’t know’ was the only solution and then waiting. I have felt like acting, in the Uranian sense, to find more information to help make a decision..but also thinking I want to wait to see how the universe plays it out without my involvement. Your words have helped strengthen my inner voice which said to wait and see. I am a late Taurean, the eclipse fell in my 9th between my sun and mercury. I’ve been feeling pretty agitated and not enjoying this weekend in general.
I’m glad it helped!
Gemini Weirdness: I am very close to a breakthrough with my research. It’s like seeing something peripherally- reorient & it comes into focus. That’s how it works for me, it doesn’t come if I try too hard. I needed a distraction so I called my sister (a very bright, very well educated girl) and began to construct for her a theory of pretty much everything based on a movie I’d recently seen, “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”, an article I got from Jezebel about the impact of lower incomes on post partum depression, and a NYT piece on minority census data. Also filial piety, several Jared Diamond books, Robert Frost and RNA. My sister said my mind was “too fantastical” for her at the moment & could she take a nap before continuing the conversation. My mind has been very busy but this sometimes happens & I keep it to myself when relatives are unavailable so I don’t have to feel crazy later on. Today, I read something about south node in Gemini. I think mine is being stimulated. 😉 Or it’s Virgo which is similar, I think.
lol your sister is funny
Opposite my natal moon and uranus
I was beginning to feel slightly anxious. It’s a good thing I don’t know where you live, I’ve been known to ask the authorities to check on missing people 🙂
awww 🙂 yeah I wasn’t feeling so well and was doing some cat sitting. Whenever I cat sit, the rest of my life gets delayed due to the travel time. I *really* want to blog more. I feel very behind. Also, people are buying longer readings these days so the process carries over. I’m always catching up 🙂
It is conjunct my natal Lilith at 1 degree Gemini, in my 6th House. I’m giving serious thought to take up healing work again. Slow and study; there is no rush.
cool!
LOL I meant slow and steady but slow and study works, too
works for me!
I’ve also found that I’m enjoying music like Irish or Scottish-sounding jigs, this year. They just sound so cheerful, like the people singing them are having such fun. I’ll put one in the website line here – something by a group called the Rankin Family? I’d never heard of them before. Also, Galway Girl is another.
Oh, that section disappeared when I logged in. This is what I heard on the radio last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVrml3z1-og
End of the 7th/beginning of 8th (just on the cusp or inside house 8). Conjunct my Moon/Venus/South Node (or Nodes), sextile Jupiter, trine Pluto, square Mars, inconjunct Uranus/ascendant. I also have Uranus opposing my natal Pluto and conjoining my Jupiter, as well as transiting Pluto squaring them both.
You won’t want me sharing my feelings regularly if what I’m feeling right now is the result. Annoyed and frustrated – I’ve been keeping my mood up, and also maintaining boundaries. I found my good manners again, and have been avoiding dumping my negative feelings on other people – it’s like my finally snapping actually helped, but I’m wary (Neptune is on my Mars, and still affecting everything there, but it’s moving away right now). It’s like I found myself again, but I can’t guarantee that it will stick, because I was so negatively affected by other things and people, over the past two years. Still am, in some cases.
so it’s going to be brutal for me? 1st house 6ºGemini I’m trembling…
Nah! Maybe you will change your look – 1st House is your appearance. I try to stay away from doom and gloom astrology 🙂
haha I can only hope! I DO need a break :S
jeez I can only hope!! I DO need a break! or I will have a nervous breakdown. BTW my 7th house is at 6º Sagittarius, does it mean that there will be an ending romance-wise, client-wise? X
