To the query, “What is a friend?” his reply was “A single soul dwelling in two bodies.” Aristotle
I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time. Bill Watterson
I waited and waited, and, when no message came, I knew it must be from you. Ashleigh Brilliant
June's new moon is one of communication, clairvoyance, telepathy and being in tune, not only with one's self but with others. The Sabian Symbol for the new moon is Gemini 14: Two People Living Far Apart in Telepathic Communication. Like most of the Sabian Symbols, this image has morphed over the years with Dane Rudhyar's version being Bridging Physical Space and Social Distinctions, Two Men Communicate Telepathically, while Marc Edmund Jones stuck to Elsie Wheeler's original version - A Conversation By Telepathy. Whichever version you prefer, this new moon speaks of communication - getting your point across - breaking through barriers that keep you separate from others and going deeper and deeper into your clairvoyant and communication abilities.
Dane Rudhyar, in his 1973 book An Astrological Mandala, says of this degree "... a time comes when the individual can transcend the limiting boundaries of culture and ego. An effort should then be made to enter a realm of consciousness in which the communication from mind to mind can take a more direct form, because the minds then operate within the One Mind of humanity. It is then as if two cells in a human body were communicating to each other, perhaps through some kind of invisible nerve channels, or, as it were, from nucleus to nucleus by means of vibratory resonance."
In my book, I have the Symbol as "Two People, at Widely Different Points, Are in Conversation With Each Other by Means of Telepathy". As you can see from the various readings of this Symbol above, the idea of this Sabian Symbol is one of communicating, it is about communicating whether you're "Living Far Apart" or in the same room as each other.
From my book The Sabian Symbols as an Oracle: 'This Symbol shows that lines of communication can still be established if you can’t be near a friend or loved one. It seems that you have bonds with another, perhaps with many people, that are unaffected by distance or frequency of communications or visits. When you are unable to be together, it is possible for you to remain connected through sending messages from your mind and heart. You could also be feeling as though you are receiving messages from or about them, but are afraid to pay attention to them. If you have been receiving clairvoyant flashes or premonitions, don’t block them, as it is highly likely that they are trying to tell you something worth listening to. Society often frowns on things concerning psychic matters; but don’t allow yourself to submit to other people’s disapproval and opinions. Trust your intuition, both in the sending and receiving of messages. You may feel isolated or unable to physically bridge the gap between yourself and someone special. Try to set aside a time of the day or night when you can meditate on each other. Let your heart tell you that you are always in their company and there is no need to feel alone.'
The Keywords for this Symbol: Conquering space and time limitations. Psychic and mental communication. Sharing and thinking the same ideas. Knowing what is felt or thought by others. Feeling connected regardless of physical contact. Being on the same frequency. Mediumship. Telepathic communication. Conversation. Direct lines of communication. Mind reading.
So, amongst other things, this Symbol speaks of communicating, sharing, sensing, feeling, mind reading, etc.
Amazingly, Mars in Leo at Leo 14 completely backs up this theme. Further, this degree is sextile (60 degrees apart) the degree of Mars is Cherub-Like, A Human Soul Whispers Into Every Receptive Ear, Seeking to Manifest. This a Symbol of the desire to be heard and taken seriously. This ‘Human Soul’ is trying to find a ‘Receptive Ear’; someone who will listen to or understand what’s being said, perhaps to spur others to take some kind of action. Something that has been waiting to be ‘Manifest’, said, heard or realized could come out quite suddenly.
From my book, The Sabian Symbols as an Oracle: There is likely to be a deep realization that will transform your life on some level. The time may not be quite right, but it is coming soon. Your creative or spiritual talents are attempting to come through into conscious expression. Listening to your inner voice, and heeding messages from others, can lead you to the next level of your life. On the spiritual level, this Symbol shows the movement of the ‘Soul’ to new possibilities and opportunities. On the more everyday level, it can imply that in order to find those who wish to join our process or task, ideas need to be communicated in a quiet and suggestive manner, rather than being loud and demanding. Often when there’s a new idea in the air, many people seemingly come up with it at the same time. This can be rather astounding; it’s time for this new thing to ‘Manifest’ and those that are ‘Receptive’ to the message will hear and respond. However, if the messages coming through are not clear, intelligent, or useful, it may lead to wild-goose chases and extremes of behavior. Parts of the mind can come tearing out – wishing to make themselves heard or known. Discriminate between what’s important and what’s not. Listen to messages, something is seeking expression and needs a vehicle to be able to ‘Manifest’. Are you the “vehicle”?
Further to this rather intuitive or clairvoyant or all seeing theme is Uranus on Pisces 23: A Materializing Medium Giving a Seance.
From my book: Many things can be ‘Materialized’ in our lives; they can come seemingly out of nowhere. They may be messages, voices, noises, stories or episodes from one’s life. Objects can be ‘Materialized’ as well; we can conjure them up. Sometimes it can cause confusion, other times enlightenment. Realizing that one can create their own reality and the responsibility implied can lead to the belief that just about anything is possible in one’s life. The things that are ‘Materialized’ can be tangible and rewarding things, however, there should be some caution as sometimes they can have more to do with drama and show rather than having any real or lasting substance. Sit with any new impressions you may be receiving until you understand the authenticity or depth. If you have to do something or perform in front of people, rest assured that with the right attitude and a little preparation there should be no problem. You may have the talent and the ability to make things up as you go along. Energy can feel as though it is coursing “through you”. Notice the physical evidence that leads you to realize, see or “hear” messages. Certain words standing out in a newspaper or magazine, words of a song that bring messages, something special noticed in a photo or other image, etc. Pay attention to these messages and allow them to inspire you to connect with whatever and whoever is guiding you. Aspects of personality can erupt, at appropriate or sometimes inappropriate moments. How much is true in this situation and how much is made-up or imagined?
Venus is on Gemini 13: A World-Famous Pianist Giving a Concert Performance. This Symbol speaks of the need to not only be rehearsed and talented, but also to be willing to share your talent and abilities with others. One needs to be confident and secure in what you do, to feel that you have something of merit to offer to the world.
The ruler of Gemini is Mercury, therefore Mercury is in high focus in this Gemini new moon. Mercury is retrograde (meaning that it appears to be traveling backwards through the zodiac). The degree of Mercury in this new moon is Gemini 20: A Cafeteria With an Abundance of Choices. This Symbol speaks of the need to be discriminating about your choices, to be careful of what you choose to nourish, feed and fulfill you. It can be rather confusing in this day and age with all the choices we have before us, and, particularly with the number of choices we have, this is a time to be thoughtful about the choices we make; about what we reach for, what we can afford, what will nourish and satisfy our appetites.
The major theme of the Symbols for the Sun, Moon, Mars and Uranus are all rather clairvoyant and all seeing. What is it that you can bring through into your life now? What is it that you need to learn or share with others? What messages are you receiving through the ethers (sometimes continually)? What talents, messages and insights do you have that you could share with others?
This Gemini new moon seems set to be a meaningful one and one that could teach us many things about ourselves and others.
