The arrival of a New Moon is always a potent time for fresh starts, intention setting, and personal reflection. The recent astrological event—Gemini New Moon—brings a surge of mutable, curious, and communicative energy, encouraging us to view our world from multiple perspectives. Join me in this episode to explore not only the celestial energies at play but also the deeper spiritual mechanics underpinning them: most notably, the ancient symbol and activation of the Merkaba.

Gemini’s Multifaceted Energy: Seeking Truth through Many Lenses
The heart of the Gemini New Moon lies in its very nature: mutable air, ruled by Mercury. This energy is versatile, adaptable, and deeply interested in understanding different viewpoints. With the Sun, Moon, and Mercury all conjunct in the sign of the twins, our collective consciousness is primed for a major upgrade in communication and comprehension. It’s a time to stay open, to listen, and to embody curiosity in all our conversations.

But the cosmic dance doesn’t stop here. Uranus and Algol join the mix, infusing this lunar cycle with a kind of electric, truth-revealing energy and themes of empowerment and karmic justice. Sedna’s presence foreshadows even bigger transformations coming in the next couple years. All this Gemini energy—especially with a stellium in the sign—ramps up the mental activity but also hints at a potential shadow: indecisiveness or analysis paralysis. The antidote? Bold decisiveness, ushered in by Saturn's recent shift into Aries.

Saturn in Aries: A Call to Bold Leadership
Saturn’s movement into Aries is a pivotal moment. Known for its role in fostering personal transformation, Saturn in Aries encourages bold beginnings and courageous decisions. This cosmic nudge aligns beautifully with Gemini’s mental spark, urging us not merely to think about change, but to act. Saturn’s temporary stay in Aries until September (before regressing, then returning in 2026) means we have a window to embody this pioneering energy, both personally and collectively.

Lilith, Vesta & the Dance of Divine Polarities
Another powerful astrological aspect at play is Black Moon Lilith conjunct Vesta—and both quincunx to the Sun and Moon. Lilith embodies the uncompromising divine feminine, while Vesta invites us back to our inner sanctuaries. Their emphasis is on integrating polarities: masculine and feminine, mind and body, spirit and science. The message is clear—true empowerment and wholeness come not from choosing sides but from inner unity. Here, the symbolism of sacred geometry, especially the Merkaba, takes center stage.

Merkaba: Activation & Alignment for the Aquarian Age
The Merkaba, an ancient geometric symbol of two interlocking tetrahedrons, encapsulates the idea of integrating opposites to achieve higher consciousness. It represents the union of light (Mer), spirit (Ka), and body (Ba)—and in the context of this New Moon, it offers a tool for personal activation. By visualizing and breathing into the spinning fields of the Merkaba, we balance and align our energies, opening to downloads, healing, and new wisdom.

Let's also remember that alignment isn’t about perfection or hard work; it’s about authenticity. Transformation requires letting the old dissolve so the new can form—much like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. The Merkaba meditation offered in the episode creates a bridge from rooted presence (as above) to expanded possibility (so below).

Embracing Unity and Transformation
The energetic signature of this Gemini New Moon—layered with planetary conjunctions, bold Saturnian leadership, and ancient Merkabic activation—creates a unique portal for transformation. We are invited to honor every perspective while remaining anchored in our truth, to embrace both our grounded humanity and our limitless spirit.
​
As we journey through this lunar cycle and beyond, the wisdom is to align with these cosmic flows, trust the process of becoming, and unlock the inner unity that fuels both personal and collective evolution. May this transmission inspire you to activate your own Merkaba and step boldly into the transformative energies ahead.

This full moon in Scorpio, exact on May 12, 2025, brings powerful themes of transformation and hidden truth to the forefront. Scorpio, the sign of fixed feminine water ruled by Pluto, calls us to look beneath the surface—beyond what’s visible or familiar—in both our own lives and the collective consciousness. It’s a moment designed for powerful realizations, releasing long-held patterns, and trusting intuition.

Juno Conjunct Luna: The Divine Feminine Protects
With Luna (the Moon) conjunct Juno in Scorpio, goddess energy takes center stage. Juno, protector of women and the state, brings powerful guidance, intuition, and protection. This energy is about standing up for the empowerment and safety of all, honoring the divine feminine within each of us, and embracing fertility—not only as birth, but as the ability to create, imagine, and love deeply.

Algol and Medusa: The Third Eye Awakens
A fascinating aspect: the Sun is conjunct Uranus and the star Algol (said to represent the third eye of Medusa). Algol’s famous “blinking” comes from its multiple star system, and in mythology, it’s long been a sign of caution. In this podcast we reframe Medusa as a powerful symbol of protection, truth, and karmic justice. When her third eye meets ours, what’s not true cannot persist. This full moon invites us to connect with our own third eye and intuition. We’re called to see beyond illusions, trust our inner knowing, and courageously face transformation.

Revolutionary Energy: Uranus, Pluto, and More
There’s potent revolutionary energy in the sky. Uranus conjunct Algol shakes us awake, encouraging us to become the change we wish to see and to embrace personal truth. Pluto’s dynamic aspects (opposing Mars, squaring Mercury, trining Uranus, and sextiling Neptune) encourage us to communicate honestly, raise our energetic standards, and prepare for big, soulful downloads—especially as the Sun and Uranus align closer on May 17.
