A Gemini Stellium and a Yod
Overview
A full stellium in Gemini (5 planets) with the New Moon on June 6th denotes conversations and disputes in the mutable air sign of the Twins. Duality is inherent in this sign. Duality of thought and in writing or communication. Jupiter trine Pluto retro in air signs is still within orb, meaning “operative” in the sense that any astrological configuration can be reflective of events that transpire on Earth. Venus is at the same degree in Gemini as the New Moon, tempering conversations, becoming more personal or even more corrupt. A Yod formation on Tuesday creates opportunities for a radical transformation.
