You took home a match,
collected the thick, breathing
dreamy static between us.
Lit alight and watch.I wanted to fill myself with you.
Looking back on that November,
where the weight of you forced,
my bones to bend and moan,
I could have been anything if you wanted,
A wrist, a crow, a cinnamon tree. I could
have been unhappy.Then, I wanted to drink you through a straw,
massage your tendons into the strange
state we call sleep and clench
the nape of your neck until I
slipped into your skin.
“Soar to New Heights”
When we see an eagle high atop mountains or even above the clouds, it has a wider scope of all of life. The majestic eagle with keen skills of observation moves with the jet stream scanning the landscapes below. It is free to move and to soar to new heights. With the arrival of New Moon in Gemini and Solar Eclipse on May 20th, 2012, we will open a new chapter in our lives as symbolized by the Solar Eclipse. Being objective and observing will help us navigate the “variety of aspects happening around the New Moon in Gemini. It’s a time that will leave a lasting impression upon our being and stimulate the mind and possibly bring excitement.
The Solar Eclipse will symbolically turbo-charge the energy of the New Moon in Gemini and all of the aspects surrounding it. So don’t give into superstition or get spooked regarding the Solar Eclipse. There is nothing to fear but there may be a lot of opportunities. Get ready to be whisked off your feet. The New Moon/ Solar Eclipse at 0 degrees Gemini – happens at 7:23 pm EDT // 4:23 pm PST. It will be visible from Asia, Eastern Europe, North America, Greenland, Arctic and north Pacific Oceans. Remember that Eclipses come in pairs and the second of this pair is a Lunar Eclipse on June 4th, 2012 but more on this later.
The astrological sign of Gemini represents the archetype of the “Networker, Student and Social Butterfly” amongst others. This highly logical and intellectual sign appreciates connecting the dots and sharing information it gathers. This Solar Eclipse and New Moon in Gemini sparks up new beginnings within the mental energy field and within the mind. There may be potential new ideas forming and swirling.
A new moon phase within the lunar cycle is a wonderful time to set new intention(s), plant new seeds, create a new opportunity or start a new routine and or habit. You must get your intention and inspired ideas set to go. It is an golden opportunity you don’t want to miss it since it is super-energized by the Solar Eclipse.
“When you were sleeping on the sofa I put my ear to your ear and listened to the echo of your dreams. That is the ocean I want to dive in, merge with the bright fish, plankton and pirate ships. I walk up to people on the street that kind of look like you and ask them the questions I would ask you. Can we sit on a rooftop and watch stars dissolve into smoke rising from a chimney? Can I swing like Tarzan in the jungle of your breathing? I don’t wish I was in your arms, I just wish I was peddling a bicycle toward your arms.”—
Jeffrey McDaniel, “The Secret”
This is a team. No quarrel at all here. This will be pure Gemini expression. The Gemini love expression will be accurately and throughly expressed by the Gemini Mercury. This combination makes it as necessary to express affections as to feel them. The love nature will be variable and adaptable.
This combination produces a person who is forever young at heart with the ability to attract lovers of all ages. Love for him may appear to be more mental but never under-estimate his ability to be very physical with its expressions. However, even though he has the ability to express his affections quite easily those feelings will none the less be real and true. He IS NOT shallow just because he can say how he feels and has been misinterpreted in the past.
If his values go in direction of professional writing, he can be very successful. In fact, it would be good for this person to use some of this expressive energy in this way, thereby taking some of the pressure off the very great need to express to a loved one. This has an equalizing and balancing effect.
Many, except others with this combination, will be surprised at the vastness and extensiveness of this person’s love affairs. He is usually fearless in love, and takes risks where others would withdraw. He is not exactly practical in his choice of lovers. Love may be someone twenty years older or twenty years younger, a king or a pauper. He will follow whatever catches his fancy. One should not expect him to be practical or conventional. The beautiful thing about him is he eventually succeeds because his enthusiasm takes over where practicality stops.
Mercury and Venus in Gemini are so close that it is nearly impossible to separate the influences. Here thinking about love is almost the same as experiencing it. Love does, however, start in the mind first, which makes the person even more loving, more expressive.
Some may say this person needs a mate with stability and durability. But this may not work out in practice. This Mercury and venus Gemini may feel hemmed-in, and eventually lose interest. The earthy and practical person may be too heavy, although there are also points in favor of them. I would say in the final analysis this person needs freedom, and if the partner can give freedom of movement and expression and still be there to attach the loose pieces that get lost in the movement all will be well. This would have to be a mate who has some of the Gemini qualities somewhere in his chart along with his earth planet to enable him to understand the Gemini and help him keep his feet on the ground. Of course if this double Gemini has a Taurus Sun his feet will already be on the ground.
