Has the entirely new episode begun for you? Are the toggles of so many details switching polarities, rearranging the settings which dictate the parameters and frameworks of life? Are you amidst the paradox of the paradox? Sunday’s New Moon in Gemini occurring at the end of Gemini is free of any tight orb aspect (closest is sextile Chiron at the end of Aries) but still is copresent Uranus just getting going in Gemini as well as trine by sign to Pluto in Aquarius, and sextile to Neptune, Saturn in Aries and Venus newly in Leo, so even though we’re in the left field zone of Gemini, we are still on topic to the wide array of energetic and dynamic newness 2026 represents.

Progressive unknowns pressurize innovation and update while power struggles in networks and syndicates rob reality of some of it’s humanity, in personal spheres as much as the macro— we dream of autonomy, mythologize our capabilities as we’re made responsible to be effective and take action without wasted energy—- ideas, options, alternatives, cross-pollinations of concepts disrupt the exchange of information and suddenly in is out, up is down, have-not is have and situation to one another ripples with suddenly assembling social fabric buzz modulations emerged out of no where. We desire authenticity, true expression, sovereignty and move like moth to flame towards what resonates with our vital life-spirit and conscious-awareness, which is major foreshadowing of where we are both going to exuberantly grow, dramatically expel falsity and battle boldly on principle in the upcoming several months. We’ve learned a lot about what we need to feel fulfilled, nourished, comfortable, safe, rested, and have taken the opportunities to indulge there, which have culminated in a reordering of our resource flows and corrections to our nesting shells and emotional logistics in relationships.

This New Moon, in the degrees of pre-solstice speaks to the emergent quantum foam of everything accumulating through the arrival-door of the Now and in this hello to the present straight out of the streaming future sniffs for sense and sees synesthetically what to collect into mind and what to immediately not grasp and leave in the past. Like breath, inhale, exhale. But breathe with quality, not every pull of air into oneself is equal, so your location meander’s around the map as your feet deliver you to and fro in a meaningful examination of aroma. The details themself are myriad, a plethora, fractalized, blended, nested, in-extricable even though critical and both similarity and differentiation prove acute.

If we’ve been standing up to Saturn’s testing of our inner teenager then we may be paying perfectly detached attention. Teenagers are situated between children and adults, and it is in this phase we learn to be responsible for ourselves and not rely on the coddling and pampering of our parents. If we are to gain autonomy to stand on our own and not retreat back into the nest of lunar mother and under the observation of solar father then we must be both calm and alert, watchful and ready, reading the cues without being impulsive in our maneuvers. You may find in your life those in your orb or yourself have set up surrogate arrangements amongst one another which now are tending to get gently yet firmly decoupled, everyone put back into position to handle themselves accordingly without looking towards lovers friends and coworkers for meals and mess remediation.

Adolescence is also the time in life we first very concretely detach from the family, or orb of the parents, and reorder ourself with our peer group. If this process goes well we become positively socialized, and if not we must attempt it again in another round of inhale/exhale when hopefully we refresh our alliances maturely. Obviously, for some this carries out disturbed into adulthood, and many restitutive arrangements are concocted to get by in the commons of civilized society. We might consider this in the quiet contemplation of this New Moon’s low light; how does your life socially smell? Take a sniff of your circuit boards, does your electronics seem fried? Are your ideas lucid? Do your messages make sense? Should you even be saying anything at all? And to whom?

A lot more juice is flowing in your mental/social processors right now whether you know it or not, you might want to get into the settings of your applications and make sure you have adapted to the upgrades. In fact, you might have to go beyond a set it and forget it, and for the next 8 years be a radical programmer of your own idea-o-sphere, the manual attention to how you operate in the intellectual realm suits the sovereign and autonomous energetics of the contemporary modality. We’re waking up from a trance of over-sharing to the collective and regaining our sense of self and how we express that with others in the non-virtual, keeping feelers on these pulses seems appropriate, and as these subtleties are ever shifting, we might place our sensory faculties on how we socially and mentally ventilate from now on as we go.

The Picatrix sees here an image of a “man clothed in robes with hands to heaven praying” and calls this Mansion “ The Forearm”. Interesting mention of both arms and the hands they lead to as this is Gemini territory, so where the body bifurcates. What we can effect via hands into the sky heavenward with plea and intent in prayer is reminiscent of subtle transmission, where thought is sent out to reverberate in the world, a dialogue from internal to external. The elections are for increase, the talisman for the acquisition of good things and the operation calls for sweet smelling substances. This makes sense for late spring, where in much of the Northern Hemisphere, bees buzz, visiting the many flowers which have bloomed while light is still increasing and there is at this point plenty more to come.

Indeed, the spirit from the Grimorium Verum is Sargatanas, a deputy of Astaroth, whose sigil appears to be a moth type insect, so like bees things which locomote upon the air. The syncretized Exu in Quimbanda is Exu Veludo, ‘also called ‘animal hide’, ‘shaggy’, or ’velvet night’. The PGM lists this Shape as DOG, likely referring to Anubis, and the underworld jackal’s role of threshold crossing attendant, appropriate for these pre-solstice degrees, where souls ingress into the manifest realm from the spirit world. Jackals being canines have shaggy or velvety coats and are known for their sense of smell and navigation by nose. This may be reflected in the Picatrix’s “sweet smelling things” as well following into the 7th Nakshatra, Punarvasu, which also relates anatomically to the nose. The nose, or at least the nostrils being Geminiic, as they are dual, and this Nakshatra being the two chariots of Castor and Pollux, twin stars, mercurial then like dogs, with Anubis even pairing with Wepwewet the wolf on either side of the solsticial degree.

This Nakshatra is referred to as the “restorers of goods” much like is stated in Picatrix, which in Rigvedic terms is listed as Aditi, the mother of the gods, and since the Devas are good, the mother of all goodness. She can be conceptualized as the undifferentiated everything from which abundance originates and emerges. This Nakshatra is noted for being easy going and unpretentious, which fits Saturn in Aries’s mandate to be calm, alert and not wasteful of energy while agreeing with Neptune in Aries’ perception widening of the origins of everything at the first degrees of the entire zodiac. Sniff sniff, what formless potential is arising in my midst? What game is afoot? Woof woof, what’s arriving at the door of manifestation? Anything worth consuming? How’s that going to effect the pack order? Where should I situate myself to receive what’s showing up in the world?

The Chinese Xiu is “The Basket”, which can now be used for winnowing but had once been used to collect dung for fuel. So, we have the faculties of collection and sorting in the pivot of realization how everything can be repurposed for the appropriate articulation of use in the moment. With every breath we are in a newly destroyed and newly created world. Keep updating the program, keep refreshing the page. Index; don’t get stuck or go glitchy. This Lunar Station mentions shamans and those of military rank wearing leopard skins (hilariously similar to the Greek’s Dionysus and Hercules) which tracks with our shaggy hide DOG asking us to include animal level info observation and analysis to our assessments. The literature also mentions copious blessings, pleasant surprises, potential of gossip and sexual misconduct (again teenage socialization quality control, ha ha, humorous for gemini), new doors and the ability to review and reinvest. All on point for the energetics of this just pre-solstice moment, as well as relevant for this stage of the process that is 2025/2026’s ejection of the last 15-20 year’s DVD and the insertion of the next 15-20 year’s DVD. In this reshuffling of narrative keep your eye’s peeled, your nostrils open, your relations assessed and your energy under your tight control.
