The Gemini New Moon = The sign of the Twins. The Gemini keyword is I THINK! We think of Gemini primarily as a sign of intellect and duality. It represents the conscious mind, a very curious and restless mind.
Mercury is its ruler and connects all that is on earth and heaven, represented by the God Hermes whose healing symbol is the Caduceus, the symbol of Healing by connecting God to man.
The function of Gemini/Mercury is to give names and classifications to the world of reality. By creating an intellectual organization of our experiences, we are able to communicate to ourselves and others.
Being intellectual Gemini’s can disregard feelings and emotions.
Gemini people make good teachers, writers, reporters, and salespeople with their ability to communicate.
A manifestation of Gemini is a mind that plays on and on like a radio, and still another aspect of Geminin duality is a split between the physical world (body) and the mental world (mind).
Gemini often represents the conflict between the ego and the shadow in the personality. With the dual nature, Gemini can be known to have split personalities until Gemini’s have integrated their dual nature to become single-minded and focused.
The ego strives to take a conscious path, our thoughts, and perceptions conditioned by our will and others' values.
The shadow is the repressed self which must deal with projected personalities that creep into the Gemini which becomes changeable, and inconsistent.
Keywords: Gemini = Adaptable, dual, sociable, mediator, ideas, writing Negative: indecisive, master of none, talkative;
Mercury = Speaking, Intellect, eloquence, observant, reason Negative: Deceit, gossip, nervousness, worry;
3rd House = Learning, receptive to ideas, short distance travel, hobbies, interests, neighborhood, listening;

Gemini/Mercury = the function of giving NAMES and CLASSIFICATION to REALITY;
Creation of an intellectual system of organization that allows logical order to reality;
Gemini/Mercury = Intellectual organization of experiences so to COMMUNICATE with OURSELVES & OTHERS;
Gemini archetype = One of OPINIONS; Opinions—NOT necessarily the TRUTH—other than TRUTH contained in opinion;
Sagittarius = Polar opposite is the domain of TRUTH; i.e. personal truth & natural truth;
Projected CREATION = two laws—Man-made law (definition) and INTRINSIC (nature of:) LAW & NATURAL LAW i.e. Natural law = naturally explain the TRUTH of projected creation i.e. Gravity;
EXAMPLE:
Shamanism = is following natural law through defining life on natures terms;
Roman Catholic = defines life on man-made law;
Gemini/Mercury = Differing PERSPECTIVES; ways of interpreting all INFORMATION;
Mercury = Left Brain; Jupiter = Right Brain;
Left = Logical, analytical, evaluating, deductive, LINEAR;
Right = Intuitive, Imaginative, Hypothesizing, NON-LINEAR;
Either is prone to CULTURAL CONDITIONING i.e.
Native American/Australian Aborigines = would be raised more right brain;
American culture = conditioned more left-brain i.e. following man made law; i.e. conditioning & emphasis;
LEFT BRAIN = providing NAMES & CLASSIFICATIONS of the RIGHT BRAIN!
This can be a cause of IMBALANCE i.e. operating too strongly from one side or the other;
HEALING = comes from BALANCING—Left/Right Hemisphere balance i.e. balancing the struggle of CONFLICT & POLARIZATION; (This is also none as HYPNOTIZING! Which occurs naturally through the optic nerve and primal brain;

The Angel of Illusion & Reality
EXAMPLE: The MAGICIAN--#1 in tarot; = uses the energy of CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE causing earthly miscreation’s to disappear suddenly being replaced by EXPRESSIONS of SPIRIT;
This happens when the ANGEL is TOTALLY FREE of EGO INFLUENCE;
The #1 = a geometric point means CONCENTRATION, attention, a limiting field of activity; the Magician draws power from above…you cannot even begin to use the subtler forces of nature until you realize that YOU DO NOTHING OF YOURSELF, BUT SIMPLY ACT AS A CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH THE LIFEFORCE EXPRESSES ITSELF;
The intention of this Angel = help us develop a ONE-POINTED focus on TRUTH = see beyond the illusion to that which is real;
Concentration = on ERROR thoughts which have built a CONSCIOUSNESS of ERROR, whereas these error thoughts have been REPRODUCED in LIFE as ERROR CONDITIONS;
As an ARCHETYPE = when blocked by ego projection, saturated w/unconquered personality defects, it becomes the master manipulator, working closely w/the ego to DECEIVE, MISLEAD, & DEFRAUD becoming an adversary to SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS;
Acts as the DIVINE MESSENGER (Mercury) bringing the ideas of SPIRIT into CONSCIOUSNESS;
Mystics called the ILLUMINATING principle = releasing the MIND to become aware of the DIVINE PLAN;
Angel of Loving Relationships
Foundation of relationships = ability to respond to that which is needed by another without undermining their responsibility to shoulder their own problems.
Give what is needed!
Creed for the New World = “We are one, and I am responsible for you.”
WE ARE ALL ONE! ALL ENERGETICALLY CONNECTED
We cannot truly love another person if we do not love ourselves;
“Love yourself with everything you’ve got. With heart, soul, mind, and strength we are love, adore, treasure and cherish this magnificent master being that we are.” –Jesus
All relationships represent the repressed material of our subconscious mind. i.e. loving others is loving SELF!
Angel of Gemini = “a linking force that unites and shows relationships, the relations between rhythm and form, between self and substance, and between the self and its neighbors and relatives. Implicit in this symbol of divine wisdom is the perfect purpose of divine love. Love and wisdom are a twain that cannot be separated, and it is in this polarity that there manifests the archetypal light of the Christ.”—John Jocelyn

Stay alert to others trying to remold or remake you, including you trying to remake them. There could be subtle power plays. Learning to respect the rights of others!
Venus/Mars Balsamic = Time to let go of all relationship patterns that cause conflict and disharmony. Let go of all old relationships, to self, intimate, and friendships while building a vision of better relationships into the next cycle.

1st Quarter Phase = Learning to use the Higher Mind to organize and manage a new life with ideas that must be transmuted from those programmed out of the past for ego/security needs. Here we manage to build a foundation by walking the talk becoming living proof of the application of spiritual laws. We must first confront the crisis generated by the managing and manifesting of a new reality that is in conflict with the old structures that are resistant to change. Being able to manage the crisis produces confidence in the inner self so the inner self—the HIGH SELF—becomes the source of security. Here we learn to become free from the physical body, emotional body, and the intellectual body to be free to work with feelings. Free to work the spiritual body to manifest the divine plan through feelings & action/movement. First Quarter is growth on the medicine wheel which relates to the process of maturation, whereby the process is just as important as the new form of the personality or ideal. The end result is “LOVE.” The final act of the 1st Quarter is to prepare to hand over the process to the feminine.

Selective manipulation of the elements/environment;
Actions:

Meditations:
Angel of Loving Relationships (Gemini)
God is infinite Love, the great identity in all relationships, the eternal essence of all forms, and this Absolute All –that-Is is my very divine consciousness.
I lift up my mind and heart to be aware, to understand, and to know that the divine Presence I AM is the source, Cause, and quality of every relationship in my life.
I am conscious of the Inner Presence as my loving experience of fulfillment, as the harmony in every connection with another being. I am conscious of the constant activity of this mind of total goodwill and joyful unity, therefore my consciousness is felled with the Love of right relations.
Through my consciousness of my God –Self as my source of companionship, friendship, and the quality of every Love experience, I draw into my mind and feeling nature the Light of Spirit. This light is the essence of every bonding with another, thus my consciousness of the Master Self I AM is the cause of every good and perfect relationship.
My inner Light draws to me now those with whom I can relate in love, peace, and joy. Because it is the principle of right relations in action, my desires are beautifully fulfilled, my needs easily met.
The divine consciousness I AM is forever securing the bond of harmlessness and harmony between me and everyone else in my world. Therefore I am totally confident to let God appear in each and every relationship in my life.
When I am aware of my divine consciousness as my total fulfillment, I am totally fulfilled. I am now aware of this truth, and I relax in the knowledge that the activity of divine attraction and right relations is eternally operating in my life. I simply have to be aware of the flow of that creative energy that is continuously radiating from within. I am now in the flow.
The Angel of Illusion and Reality (Mercury)
As I look below, I see the child I was, afraid of the shadows, thus interpreting wrongly, perceiving falsely, and imprisoning my divine messenger, the one who pierces the illusion to reveal Reality.
That is all in the past, I am no longer a child living in darkness. I am growing UP, going UP, and in my ascension, I see the Light of the world of my divine consciousness and I move into this light of my Self, the glorious radiance of Spirit.
From this mountaintop of eternal brilliance, I look before me and see only the shining beacon of Truth revealing the Reality that has always been.
Of what was I afraid? Whom did I fear? There was nothing in the shadows that could harm me; it was only my reaction to the darkness that bound me to this illusion.
In the light of understanding, I see this now, and I will remember what I have seen. From the very beginning, my Spirit went before me to create harmony, beauty, and peace, and it forever lives within me, guiding me to follow those same footprints in the sands of time.
Beloved Lord and Master Self within, day by day I am growing into your likeness, and I know that soon, in a flash of light, the two shall become one and I will know myself as God being me, eternally.
My Holy Self, I ask that you guide me to meet the Angel of Illusion and Reality, the Hand of Spirit signifying creative intelligence. Let us proceed now.
With the Spirit of God within as your guide, take the inner journey to meet this mediator between the lower and the higher minds and establish a bond of friendship and cooperation.
