A Brilliant Insight Comes To You
STARDROPS JUNE 11 2023
PART I
New Moon in Gemini at 26* The revelation of deceptive information.
What we can expect with this New Moon cycle which will last two weeks up to the next Full Moon on July 3, 2023 (Full Moon in Capricorn)?
Welcome an increased curiosity for how to grow in some way. This cycle can inspire ideas which can turn into concrete achievements. New information, new concepts, plans, personal or professional, hobbies/recreational for pleasure or work/financial benefits.
A New Moon creates a launch. If you already have projects in motion, this cycle could simply be a new development, new idea you desire to enhance what you’re already doing.
It can increase your mental sharpness, focus, and logistics while calculating this or that outcome and how to achieve it.
It can enhance personal expression in any way – music, art, communications, articles, writing a book, marketing, graphics, movies, videos, poetry, lectures, audio engineering – it can bring inspiration and sharper attention to details in work – science, sales, contracts, research – paperwork.
The key description to this New Moon in Gemini would be the enhancement of our factual higher mind, sharper awareness of an elevated vision and wisdom of something, and farsighted planning. Information, data received and shared.
It can inspire stronger project management, planning, filling in yours or others’ calendars, schedules.
It’s a great New Moon because we all need to feel smart and on top of our lives in a more brilliant way.
(Mysteriously, Gemini holds the ability to reach access to the Mind of God, it’s ruler being Mercury, [Hermes]. It is a higher form of intelligence superseding the human minds useful yet limited capacity to come to ultimate profound decisions.)

AFFIRMATION
“I AM consistently positive every day in my approach to realizing a great idea, a vision and belief in something wonderful, while being fearless and humble with addressing the parts which must be brought into alignment with this Higher Great Plan“
The most important part of this New Moon is about trusted information, whether coming from the people around us, what they say, what they believe is so, or from the internet, interviews, YouTube, the news, etc.. this has become the biggest challenge and this New Moon is elevating it to a point of critical awareness to bring information up to a higher level of truth and accuracy. Our filters and discernment is truly becoming more needed at this time.
Neptune can be a planet releasing the most divine love/mind intuition. But when in a square or opposition, can create deluded situations, circumstances, events people, communications, things neglected for consideration, and lying and deception. We could feel mind controlled, hypnotized by personalities, sentiment, long investment of energy in a job, a relationship, where we have enabled someone simply because of maybe our personal history, even though the situation is not improving. We begin to notice the conflict between our feelings or old history versus the need to address what is no longer okay to live with. ON THE OTHER HAND….it’s important to be suspect to our own moods, dissatisfaction with things which are not totally realistic. This is why the Gemini New Moon needs us to anchor our minds in not only a higher insight above our own mental limitation, but also facts, the facts about the situation. Either way, whether we’re needing to face disappointing things, or overcome the temptation to see things as disappointing, stick to the facts and access that higher point which opens your heart to the truth.
The New Moon will call it out.
Here are some other ideas I’m adding to this potentially brilliant mind enhancing, increasing our intelligence cycle we are now entering into, yet challenged by a Neptunian undermining condition somewhere in our life situations.
Firstly, it’s common for a great astrology cycle to run into a challenging planet creating contradictions, conflicts and puzzles at the same time. It’s time for us to get over desiring only great planetary cycles. Usually there will be one or two, if not many, in our yearly Forecast of Transits and Progressions, we need to resolve and overcome along with all the great ones we’ll experience in that one year.
These Stardrops are the same. I don’t like writing about all the harder ones, as I have a highly pronounced Neptune in my own chart, and have had to get real in this life with disappointments, high expectations myself. So I’m there with you. When I write a bit tough, it’s because I’m speaking to myself at the same time. I use to always think of the worst case scenario, preparing myself for the terrible news, and then backup from there. If I got a phone call from the Emergency room, in my mind I went all the way to the worst case scenario. Isn’t that awful? With challenging transits to my Neptune throughout the years I have dismantled much of that and have worked very hard at reprogramming myself to the positive. It’s worked! But it took work. Catching myself thinking the worst when the worst actually happened throughout your life is quite a revelation, catching how much of one’s thoughts are programming. it’s hard to turn that around in your mind, and begin believing the opposite.
Breaking Neptunian programming and embracing the higher wisdom will be a great start in the next few weeks to bring a happier power into our lives. This isn’t a section or astrology cycle about breaking negative thoughts – it’s about all of us possibly recognizing Neptunian impractical sabotaging things, either in us, or outside of us, which can’t be ignored any longer as they are sabotaging the real victory of what outcome we desire.
Hum….possibly I’m sharing this with you, as it fits with this New Moon mind exercise in facing Neptunian disappointments, magical thinking, positive or destructive;;;it can go either way.
This New Moon is being challenged by Neptune at 27* Pisces (square New Moon at 26* Gemini)
We’re probably going to need to observe some form of self deception or outer deception, a disappointment, a possible loss of something, an item, a wallet, a commitment from a friend or arrangement. Realize a situation or an idea, or arrangement, it could be anything that might have a snag and we need to sort it out, dismantle it, reshape it to become realistic, rather than ignore it, hoping it will just work out.
We’ll need to communicate this, as Gemini is about talking and sharing.
We’ll need to press someone to face the plan, help them take the next step out of their own possibly partial unrealistic and unproductive project(s) or expectations.
It could be our brilliant drive to increase our own project, or event, or a planned meeting/sale, presentation or any of the possible exciting inspiration, “ I first have to face what might interfere with this new launch of an idea and overcome it.“
What could it be?
Our challenge is to confront within or/and without, some ambiguous, Neptunian issue which must get logically taken apart, dissected and put in a factual game plan. Elevated to a better state even if others don’t get it at first.
This wouldn’t be the time for casual unexamined and lazy attempts to communicate, express your most important issues with someone or launch a new segment of your professional projects unless! You lay out all the pro’s and cons and are prepared to address unrealistic ideas and expectations of others based upon fragmented experiences or faulty and limited experiences. Maybe over the years they’ve adhered to a belief and lived with that habit, never realizing it was contributing to the problem. I’m sure we could all relate to some little thing inside of us, that we have become so accustomed to, we never change it, but we can’t seem to get anywhere. What if this were within a company, or a department or a group which was trying to utilize this brilliant New Moon thrust into a new cycle, along with the progress promised to us from the planet Pluto moving into Aquarius for twenty one years?
We are on the threshold of great progress with taking everything in life to the next level of meaningful thriving.
This New Moon is helping us confront dysfunction. It doesn’t matter if it’s within us, or outside of us, it will reveal and open it up for talks, change, helpful exposing.
In fact, I feel this New Moon wants us to launch something, but grapple with the potential drain, interference, psychological overwhelm.
Personally, it could be a moment for us, when reality hits what it will really take to make something happen, or when reality hits us as to how someone else really feels or thinks, we must confront that, hear about it and see if it’s true or false, unrealistic or too idealistic, delusional magical thinking this or that will be the fix, or neglecting to see what work it might entail to actually bring this about. We will witness the Neptune’s problem that would have been there anyway,….
But the New Moon confronts what’s the weak spot. Is it within ourselves or outside of us to fix it. With New Moon in Gemini, it could be unrealistic thinking, planning or an idea in someone’s plan but missing a higher way that would truly be the key to success, as we’ll talk about in the Venus in Leo inconjunct Saturn in Pisces, below. (Neptune rules Pisces).
This is the main theme of the New Moon – launching initiating something wonderful, a wonderful idea – yet realizing there is an undercurrent of a not so practical part we’re missing that will also show up in the next few weeks. It’s like someone is missing the mark. Yet the potential of taking it to a more brilliant place.
And Remember, I bet many of us have already started experiencing this New Moon, even though it isn’t exact until June 17, 2023. Today as of this writing, it is June 10.
Part II The Daily Stardrops
June 11 Mercury moves into Gemini trine Pluto in Aquarius
Our minds are bright, smart, industrious and productive. Excellent for trips, driving, organized planning, and capturing long term goals with our new insights and projects you might desire to pull together. It’s a great cycle for catching every detail and being incredibly practical and resourceful with your decisions. It begins on June 11, yet should help you all week.
Venus 5* Leo square Jupiter 5* Taurus
On the same day, June 11, socially there can be some mild conflicts of interest with another. A bit of some social stress, desire to hold off on some purchases, feeling a bit like being alone, recovering in some way, taking it easy and recoiling from social interactions and being too optimistic as to how much you can actually achieve, do or spend this weekend and maybe even going into June 12/13th a bit; Take it easy and focus on that plan, learning, absorbing the info you need to get smarter or inspired during these dates!
June 13 Venus 7* Leo inconjunct Saturn 7* Pisces
This cycle is a continuation of something involving finances and social interactions with your relationships. Whether personal or professional, there might be a glitch, an inconvenience of some sort with certain people in your life. Some adjustment with either money, payments, spending, income …..or……desiring to accommodate, be helpful and maintain a good will feeling with others, yet the challenge is that you could be dealing with someone appearing a bit disconnected from reality, challenged with their view point, partially competent yet partially checked out from the big picture, especially if it’s involving larger responsibilities for social community needs, reality of a higher vision versus someone a bit petty, or preoccupied with their details, compartmentalizing small details of issues.
At this time, it’s important to maintain a positive hopeful outlook, as this is only temporary! But, is a guidepost leading to a greater role you can play in leading others to a better way they never thought of themselves.
The conflict is between people in your life, whether within a group of friends let’s say, or a business, a department or company, a community, a country.
True Leadership can rise out of this shift of Saturn/Venus.
Noticing a person(s) is focusing upon their own reality or their own experience or expertise and that becomes in their world, the whole encompassing identity of the company!
And what if this person(s) had a great influence? Venus in Leo is magnetic leadership, the power to influence, direct, delegate and lead.
What if this Venus inconjunct Saturn in Pisces, projects their small world’s mission statement upon others, and others are bought into it? This isn’t about the New Moon thing, however, this planetary inconjunct is showing up in the new moon chart as a side issue. It’s more about social out of sync disconnects with others rather than the Gemini Mind. However, can you see how we need this New Moon theme to straighten some things out!
So with the involvement of Saturn in Pisces, which is extremely idealistic projections coming from each person’s vision of what is important, only because that is their priority, their expertise or role they play, an entire department could be influenced to take on the role of that stronger personality’s sole experience in life or in that job or position for the entire department, business or community, when in reality, it’s only 5% part of the whole company or department, (or family, or relationship..) Maybe it’s just 5% of the whole Divine Blueprint of that larger entity. But the reality that individual has, is all they have believed to be true. And, it has put a ceiling on their ability to rise to their full potential.
So this week, this could be discovered, either within ourselves, or is pointed out as a detriment you’re facing with others – and a shift (inconjunct) is socially required in order to bring the social structure, the relationships back to the highest true purpose of what the family, relationship., department, community or company actually was meant to actually be.
It takes someone to access that Gemini Higher vision and mind you see?
Each one of these situations, ,environments has a divine blueprint.
Certain individuals may not be even aware such a thing exists as a Divine Blueprint. A family can have a Divine Blueprint. A business has a Divine Blueprint. In the world, we call it the Mission Statement.
The positive Venus in Leo person (the one who has the ability to truly lead from that higher Mind) must step in and take on the role of courage and clarity for others, and present and remind what that high beautiful blueprint is in order to shift the other person(s) to that one Blueprint. How does one access that Higher Blueprint Vision?
Meditation upon the one great Light and Source of wisdom and ask for it. Then be open to an entirely unique concept which could have NEVER come from your own mind, research, conversations or analysis. It is not obtained from a group consensus. It’s wholly unique and above anything you would have ever thought of. It’s above you, but trusting you to capture it and use it. Because you asked for it, it’s releasing it to you, through Its Love for progress.
June 14-15 Mercury 7* Gemini square Saturn at 7* Pisces
Conflicts with communication, discussions, opinions, logic versus idealistic stubborn expectations. It’s time for boundaries, mandates, written down plans and reminders how things need to be. It’s time for our own reality check with ourselves. What are we attempting to achieve, get caught up in and produce or expect, yet some part might not be right or even feasible. This process could be within your own self realization, or it could be about others where it’s time to confront the situation and correct it. It’s about boundaries and putting things back in order.
It’s simply a reality check time. Sharing this insight with others can be part of the challenge, or realizing what you might need to do to get square with a situation.
June 16-18 Mercury in Gemini sextile Venus in Leo
These days are helpful for smoothing out the previous frustrations. We see things in a better happier light now. This cycle creates harmony with our relationships, our finances, our personal moods and definitely discussions, softens our relationships and brings a step up of heartfelt talks. It’s good for meetings, creative expressions, artistic or musical projects collaborations….it’s helpful for smart financial decisions, even though we’re going into that New Moon brilliance with some tricky overly idealistic decisions and perceptions which need to be checked at the same time. In general, this is a great day for sharing, social connections, harmony in meetings and great outcomes.
Love, trips, fun days, dining, beauty, relaxation can be great on these days.
Jun 17 – 19 Sun at 27* Gemini square Neptune at 27* Pisces
(Described in the New Moon Part 1 above as this aspect is the main theme of the New Moon. These are the exact days our main theme could peak – which is the start of the New Moon theme, June 17.
June 17 -19 might be the crescendo with that challenge of utilizing your logical mind to face and address unknown fears, or a weak situation. How is it potentially weakening? Disappointing? Using the Affirmation above after the New Moon in Gemini Part I section can help rise above any sort of fuzzy challenges where we’re not quite clear as to what might be going on with some part of our life situation.
June 11 – 24 Jupiter in Taurus sextile Saturn in Pisces peaks 18th, 19th, 20th of June
While all these planetary cycles are quickly running through our week, this one cycle, Saturn sextile Jupiter in Taurus, is the bigger influence from the June 11 to the 24th and possibly longer as I see it.
Even stronger than the New Moon.
This cycle is for our overall protection in every area of our lives. Jupiter in Taurus highlights, protects and expands what we treasure and value. Make a list of what you value. Of course Taurus deals with Money, all finances, what we own, our net worth and anything we possess which is of monetary value. And your list might surprise you, you have more than you realized. It might just be a shift in perception. But I will guess, your gratitude is greater during these days for what you do have. Yes, it can definitely involve material things.
But it also enhances our value of our relationships, our personal lives, our self esteem. Our possessions, or our projects, our life purpose, our job, our children or family. Our bodies.
Saturn in a sextile means we’re receiving functional and practical ways and means to achieve this increased protection and opportunity to enhance these things in our life. We’re having important plans, discussions with people we trust….this is including love, relationships, our important meetings, discussions, coming to great productive conclusions. The Saturn in Pisces now becomes our friend. What was before compartmentalized hyper focused ideas which could neglect the higher blueprint, is now potentially comprehended and becomes incorporated into a new value, a new wisdom person by person. A new harmonious vision is mutually made.
So it is a great cycle to have discussions, consistently bring each other back to that higher blueprint rather than projecting oneself out as the sole star (Venus in Leo) of the show, whether we’re conscious of it or not.
Remember. You might be the problem, but many times you’re not, but dealing with those who are the ones who might need to be led to a higher vision.
It’s easy to assume these problems must be ours, many times they are anothers’ problem, either way, every one grows with this Saturn sextile Jupiter.
What a great way to move into the July – Oct 8 Venus Retrograde theme upcoming. The opening of the Heart and enhancing love, confidence and our own personal performance will allow a flow of support and good will towards everyone. This cycle can eliminate competitive needs to be the focus of attention whether it’s your need for more, or noticing others are doing the stardom – even though you would think Venus in Leo might make it worse. Venus retrograde creates magnanimous generosity and we’ll be experiencing this love from July through September 2023
So, June 11 – 24 creates harmonious solutions, exchanges of love, support, productive conclusions and advancement in the most valuable ways in our lives. Harmony with the people around us and success with all parts of ourselves is productively shared!
