Lunar or Loony ?

Once a year there will be a Gemini new moon. And every year it will either take place at the end of the 3rd, squarely in the 4th or at the very beginning of the 5th house of my natal birth chart. However it will typically impact my 4th house by aspect, given that the lunation will either be within orb of my 4th house cusp or be conjunct my moon while residing in the 5th. Today’s new moon is one of those times where it is conjunct my moon by degree by practically straddling the 5th house cusp. While I did not notice any 5th house themes, I have been utterly sentimental and fixated on all things ancestral and psychic. For example, I panicked when I couldn’t locate old family photos and a medium reading by a fellow bloggette. I found them both yesterday and spent time taking in the images and messages. I topped the evening off with a video on ancestral lineage healing by teacher Daniel Foor and a revealing video by one of his former students ( more on this later).

Yesterday I was blessed to be asked to read a passage for the online Shabbat service I attended. I was so weepy I could barely get the words out. More blessings came in the form of a very rare rabbit sighting in my back yard. The rabbit was dismayed to see me, but patiently sat in place long enough for me to snap a few shots ( photography is so Gemini BTW). Rabbit medicine is wonderfully positive , providing harbingers of rebirth, luck, and abundance.

The magic continues today as I “randomly ” find a film to watch on Hulu. Click starring Adam Sandler is a time – travelish tale that I somehow missed when it came out in 2006. It became very obvious that my dad ( who was a Gemini sun) was contacting me today on this American Father’s Day. During one scene in the film, the main character regrets not being around when his dad passed away. You see this character in the cemetery and very close to his father’s grave there is another grave with the first name of my father on it. This was not lost on me. All of this is soooo very 4th house!

My last June with Hydrangea outside my window. Bittersweet.

Regardless of your connection with astrology, fatherhood, or nostalgia, this last share could prove transcendent. For a few months in early 2021 I met via phone with Nala, an ancestral healing practitioner. We did not make visual contact because she preferred the phone for these sessions. She lives in the Pacific Northwest and is one of the more interesting people I have met in quite some time. Considering all the cool people I meet, this is quite a statement. I came across a podcast she did recently that in Nala fashion, was unconventional in format. I found her musings to be refreshing, illuminating, and ahead of its time. Like Daniel Foor, Nala is a renaissance person full of wit, presence, and wisdom of great magnitude. I am so blessed to have known her. She discusses grief, culture, identity, and ancestral contact. I continue to grow as a result of her influence and am eager to share this content with you my dear readers.
