Gemini New Moon Musings

Each month at the new, full and crone (waning) moon I post a Creative Soul Card of the month along with actions, challenges, questions in my Moon Musing Group in the Creative Soul Circle (free to join ~ women only!)  Many of you have already taken my eClass (Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul) and have the lingo downpat ie. Moon Musing Journals, Collages, etc. so I really recommend taking this class if you’re feeling a bit confused. I’ve also included Moon Musing Playsheets for you to download so that you can follow along at your own pace.

Each month’s moon musing is different, because I wait for guidance from Mama Moon herself according to the zodiac sign she resides in and attempt to time my musings for the exact moment that she enters that particular sign.

I also suggest that you set intentions each new moon with the help of this New Moon Manifestation Exercise written by my favorite astrologer, Barbara Hand Clow.

Challenge: There is so much going on right now that I’m going to keep it very simple, now that IS a challenge!

Action: I’d like you to envision your new moon intentions as if they were torches and then imagine lighting each one of your torches as if we were standing together in a circle all around the globe; one torch sparking another and another. Then I’d like you to share any visions and insights that you receive in regards to each one of your intentions allowing the torches to spark and illuminate your intentions in new and exciting ways. (I hope that wasn’t too complicated?)

Affirmation: Please share your affirmation with all of us below. My affirmation for the group is “I step forward with a light step walking with ever greater resonance into beauty".

Obstacles: What obstacles and challenges might you face in regards to your intentions?

Success Outcome Marker: please share in the Circle.

Question posed by your card to you: if you’re having trouble coming up with a question please let us know so we can all try and help.

How does your card tie in? please share in the Circle.

New Moon in Gemini

New Moon in Gemini June 12, 2010 4:14 am pdt

This month the New Moon enters the airy, mutable sign of Gemini, the twins. If you’re looking for fun and games this moon then you won’t be disappointed! Gemini tries hard to keep it light and entertaining. During your New Moon Meditation allow yourself to sink into wonder, curiosity and awe. Remember to keep it simple because the mood you’re after is fun, childlike, light and playful so if you’re feeling heavy, serious and weighty then you know you’re not on the  Gemini carousel ride. You may also be feeling a little distracted or even bored right now, so make sure and keep things interesting by tuning into the child within, the part of you that remembers what joy felt like, in the beginning.

On June 12th when the New Moon enters Gemini get ready to: - Seek the unexpected - Flood your sense with stimuli - Let your curiosity keep you on the move - Weave your social networks - Juggle tasks and cross-pollinate ideas

Introducing The Moon Muses

The Moon Muses are intuitive guides and question askers that offer insight and wisdom along with exercises to heal and inspire you. They are creative leap takers forming a glowing moonlit bridge between your rational self and your higher self, a self that dwells in pure intuition, clairvoyance (clear seeing), meditative reflection and dreaming. This month you will meet Agate, a Gemstone Muse and a Lefty Oracle Muse by the name of Guess, Poet. I encourage all of you to create a Moon Musing Journal to record your monthly moon explorations (more about this in my new eCourse, Awaken Your Divine Feminine Soul).

A Message from Agate

With this multi-hued stone as your ally, get ready to make some delightful mischief and stir things up in the name of Fun! Can you feel this Moon reaching out to you with her long, shimmering, moonlit fingers as she points right at you and says, “You, ya you!”

(Suggested musical ambiance ~ “What I Am” by Edie Brickell). Now, stay wide awake for this part because you don’t want to miss anything!

Wake-You-Up Gemini-Style Suggestions: - Feather dusting (to loud music) - Nuts anyone? - Running and giggling at the same time - Jumping over things - Disco dancing - Tickling or being tickled - Rhyming - Tasting something new for the first time – how ‘bout seaweed? Yum!

My Version of Gemini – Guess, Poet "Guess, Poet" is part of a series of 500 or so left-handed (my non-dominant hand!) drawings I created over a period of five years. These drawings were later turned into an oracle card deck that I use for giving Soul Readings.

Guess, Poet celebrates fertile minds and minds that love to share EVERYTHING with EVERYONE! What three things do you absolutely love about yourself? 1.

Take a moment to assign a color to each of these things and pick a symbol or secret code to represent each one.

Create a Poetically Designed Happiness-Reminder Fun Card

Take all these elements; your favorite things, their colors and their symbols, and turn them into your own personal business-style fun card to remind yourself of what happiness looks like and feels like!

Each month we can tune into her cycles to keep ourselves on track. At the new moon we plant our intentions for the month ahead, at the full moon we watch them flower, and at the waning moon we release and share our wisdom with the world. As women we are naturally able to resonate with these cycles in deep and meaningful ways.
