In May, the New Moon makes its way into Gemini, the sign of the twins, a “between-ness” place in the sky. In ancient Sumer, this constellation was known as “The Field,” and was associated with the timing of ploughing; in Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Phoenician sky culture, it was “Pairs”—of plants, of goats, of boys—a meaning which underlies the later Greek name of the Dioscuri, the twin gods, Castor and Pollux.
For the first time in several months, the Great Luminaries, the Sun and Moon, find themselves away from the major transpersonal forces from earlier in the year, out of their tango with Pluto, their embrace with Jupiter and Neptune, and their wrestle with Uranus. This month, we look back at winter and its struggles, at early spring and the births out of the deep Piscene dreams, and towards the newly stabilized structures that have emerged from those waters to observe their unfolding.
How do we, at this moment, hold the past and future now?
Note: If you have a copy of your own horoscope, it will be possible to trace these currents to your own experiences. For more information on reading your own natal chart, you can purchase the recording of How to Read Your Own Horoscope 101.
About Carol Ferris
Carol Ferris is a full-time consulting astrologer, teacher, and private tutor of astrology with four decades of experience. She completed her MA in Interdisciplinary Studies at Marylhurst University. The title of her thesis, The Sky's Body: Constellations and Medicine reflects her ongoing interest in nature-based medicine and governance thinking of the ancient Near East and Chinese philosophers and astrologers. Carol's work with the multivalent symbols of astrology is interwoven into work with dreams and active imagination. Over the years, Carol has seen these two frameworks —astrological mapping and Jungian imagery —as mutually beckoning guides to understand how all life, in its exquisite specificity, rises from a unified field.
