"Gemini New Moon:
The Power of Silence
by Simone Butler

How many days could you keep silent? John Francis did it for seventeen years. In 1973, on his 27th birthday, this soulful Pisces decided to refrain from talking for a day. He’d been getting into arguments, and realized he wasn’t really listening to people. At first he struggled, tormented by imagined conversations. But then his mind quieted, and he became more peaceful. His one day of silence stretched into a year. When he reached his next birthday, Francis renewed his vow—continuing to communicate only through pantomime and sign language....

The airy sign of the Twins encourages us to partner with Spirit to tap a deeper intelligence. And, the May 20 Gemini New Moon (4:48 p.m. PDT) is a solar eclipse, in which the Moon (intuition) eclipses the Sun (action). As they join, the luminaries square wordless, mystical Neptune. Couple this event with Venus’ recent retrograde in Gemini (May 15 to June 27), and you have a strong call to go inward—to turn down the volume of the outer world so you can receive messages from your higher self...."

"Gemini New Moon/Solar Eclipse:
Eclipses and Natal Planets: A Narrative of Change
By April Elliott Kent

Combine these descriptions to better understand the sensitive points in your own chart that will be awakened by the upcoming eclipses on May 20, 2012 (solar eclipse at 0.21 Gemini) and June 4, 2012 (lunar eclipse 14.14 Gemini. If a planet in your birth chart, or the Ascendant/Midheaven, falls:

between about 26 degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius and 4 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces (May 20 eclipse) or
between about 10 and 18 degrees of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces (June 4),
your reflexes will be working overtime… and that arthritic knee is going to be really, really sore."

Note: she goes through each planet and what areas of your life are influenced by it. Eg, I have Mercury at 29 degrees Scorpio. Per her explanation, I should prepare for changes in name, rank or serial number (life definition). Pretty major for me, and I've been meditating on the change since last fall.

1. gaaah! my eclipse info came early....and it's not good

I almost wrote earlier this week that my job has settled into a rhythm and I've gotten good enough at it that I no longer hate it. So I've reached a degree of day-to-day comfort. I'm not saving much...as soon as my bank account re-fills another emergency empties it. But I've been hanging in and getting by. 3- days/week isn't really enough to get ahead at all, but I've been able to stay afloat, get some rest and put some time into my horribly neglected home life. Was talking about it just last week with the last person they hired before me. He was so burned out after school (and he got to take a 5 month break to go hiking) that he postponed doing the ongoing edu requirements until the 3rd year after. So I am not alone in feeling fried, having had to go immediately back to work.

So I found out at work today that they brought in a consultant who told them they've overstaffed and need to cut out 1 full time job and use the per diems less.

Starting early June I'm booked only 2 days/week instead of 3. This is not good.

So my ranking at work has declined. And my number (income) again, as well. I cannot fucking believe this. I hope the universe comes through soon. I am too exhausted and burned out to go job hunting again. I can't go through this again. I cannot believe this.

2. magical thyme, I am so sorry to hear this.

So many of us are burned out and struggling right now. I hope you can get some good rest, and the energy and clarity to move into a better situation. In the meantime, I send you light and good vibes that a wonderful solution will be found soon.
