The new moon of each sign is a time to act and to begin. It’s a time to state our intentions clearly and move forward.

After collecting and meditating upon the energies of Gemini at the time of the full moon, the new moon gives us the opportunity to act upon the Gemini message.

This particular new moon finds Pluto opposing the moon and Mars sextile the moon. This is a time to LET GO of habitual relationship patterns. You’ll have some new energy and drive to GET OVER old behaviors.

We can use the energy of this new moon to explore relationship.

* How might we forge stronger, deeper relationships in very concrete ways?

* Who or what needs to be connected?

* Practically speaking, with whom should we network or build bridges during these next two weeks?

Very simply, think along these lines:

Bridge, relate, connect, teach, learn and experiment. And with this particular new moon, let go of old modes of relating. Try something new.

And even more simply, check out The Hello Love Experiment as an interesting practice for this Gemini new moon period. This practice reveals the love that underlies everything and that’s what Gemini is ultimately all about.

Hand Analysis offers the perfect skill set to help you let go of habitual relationship patterns. We call it EMOTIONAL AUTHENTICITY. Over the past two weeks, as the moon has been waning, we focused on the first two steps of this skill set: Identifying your feeling internally and Displaying it on your face or in your body – bringing it to the surface. Now it’s time to incorporate the third step: COMMUNICATING your feeling at the appropriate level with the other person as close to the moment as possible.

HERE’S HOW: You’ve identified and displayed your feeling – now – let a sound come out of your mouth. It doesn’t have to be in English. It doesn’t have to be a word. It just needs to be heard. Create a verbal signal to the other person that you are having a feeling. This provides the opportunity for you to be seen. Being seen is what allows for connection.

You have a 10-second window to utter a sound before it becomes a stuffed feeling.

OR – LET GO OF THIS BEHAVIOR:

Intellectualizing Your Feelings
Beware of the trap of TOO MANY WORDS – when you are monologuing about how you feel, or if you are explaining your feelings – YOU ARE IN YOUR HEAD. Take this as a cue to STOP TALKING. Feelings are simple. No matter how brainy you are, you cannot intellectually figure out your current emotional condition. Frustrating, but true.

WHAT TO DO: Revert back to monosyllabic expression. "I feel…mad, sad, hurt, glad, love, scared, happy" (all right, this one is two syllables, but that’s okay). I guarantee that expressing yourself with the vocabulary of a two-year-old is the way to deepen emotional connection. I mean it.

TRY THIS: Over the next two weeks, when you are alone – like in your car – just start an ongoing commentary: "How do I feel? I feel…(X)…How do I feel? I feel…(X)…" See how long you can keep it up. This is a great exercise to sensitize your feeling instrument.

GEMINI - The Full Moon of Right Relationship

Full Moon in Gemini
May 31 - 6:04 pm PDT

The full moon period is an opportunity to tune in with the highest vibration of a particular astrological sign and distribute it for the benefit of mankind.

The Full Moon of Gemini is the Full Moon of Right Human Relationship. It is called the Festival of Goodwill and is the moment each year when the love that underlies all things and relates all things is acknowledged and distributed.

The phrase for Gemini is "I see my other self and in the waning of that self, I grow and glow." Here we acknowledge the presence of the soul and we choose to put our focus and identification in the realm of the soul as we integrate the personality. Gemini is a sign of great duality but its ultimate expression must be that of unity. The soul and personality must be as one -- just as any two people, ideas or countries must ultimately be one. Any polarity must find resolution.

At the Gemini full moon period, we might ask ourselves:

(1) With whom am I relating now? Is this relationship fruitful, productive, joyous? If not, how can I take one loving step to improve it?

(2) From whom must I learn? Whom must I teach?

(3) How can I act as a bridge between any two ideas, feelings or friends in my life?

Hand Analysis offers the perfect skill set to utilize the energy of the Full Moon in Gemini: EMOTIONAL AUTHENTICITY for the purpose of unconditional love for yourself and others!

Here's how it works. RULE #1 in relationship: I am having a feeling. You are having a feeling. We are two separate beings RELATING to each other. EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

As a matter of fact, Emotional Authenticity is the most common under-developed skill set of all the people I have read over the years. This is a great time to set your intention and deepen your connection to yourself and others.

Try this: for the next two weeks, as the moon is waning, focus on two things:

(1) INTERNALLY IDENTIFY YOUR FEELINGS. Think to yourself, "I am feeling...". Just notice your feelings as they occur. Then,

(2) DISPLAY YOUR FEELINGS IN YOUR BODY OR ON YOUR FACE . That's it. This will really tune up your emotional instrument and will strengthen the path between your internal emotional response and displaying it on the surface.

A good journaling exercise from May 31st to June 13th would be to start off each entry with the sentence, "I feel...". We'll take this a step further with the new moon in Gemini -- so until then, just set your intention on Identifying and Displaying your emotional experiences.

This skill set will be particularly important for people with: six or more fingerprints that are Loops, pointy finger tips, Water Heart Lines and the color blue in the palm.
