A reader recently sent in a question about getting married on the Gemini New Moon. Apparently some pseudo astrologer told her the New Moon is a “bad day to get married.” I don’t think that any astrologer has any business making a statement like that, and it’s basically proof that they are not<\/em> an astrologer. An astrologer must apply a reasoning process consistent with the known foundations of astrology, and with a touch of originality. Such a statement does not qualify.<\/p>\n

The New Moon is about a new story: a marriage is such. It’s a great image: the Moon and the Sun coming together. Now, we could talk about marriage itself<\/em> and whether it’s such a good idea: to bind oneself to one person, with no guarantee the relationship will work out, creating lots of legal headaches if it does not. This, when you could just as well make a personal commitment without a government bond involved. But that is another topic entirely.<\/p>\n

Gemini is the tarot card of The Lovers, sometimes (in very old decks) called The Brothers. So the idea is that the relationship is twin-fraternal-passionate. It is a mix of the three. Those with esoteric training know that this card is about making a choice: generally The Lovers says, correct choice<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On June 12 we have a day with many exciting features, such as a very close conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus. This is an indicator that the marriage is a group experience or community experience of some kind; these people are social animals and there will be lots of other folks around.<\/p>\n

Mercury has just made a square to Mars: this is a hot, sparky, mentally oriented relationship. That indeed is something to watch: not mentalizing all the sexual energy out of existence (Mars conjunct Vesta in Virgo). Either that, or keeping a bold interest in matters of an intellectual erotic or erotic-service orientation.<\/p>\n

This is a rich chart with lots going on — and a New Moon close to sunrise in the Eastern U.S. If one is going to get married, it seems like a perfectly fine day to me. There are many indications of healing in this chart: of opening up to inner frontiers that need love and attention.<\/p>\n
