First Quarter Moon in Gemini - Pick-an-Object Reading
This is the reading for the current first quarter moon, but feel free to receive it when it comes to you.
Take a deep breath, tune in to this moment, and use your intuition to choose an object from the image. If you're drawn to more than one, that's okay too. Consider this an energy read rather than a prediction of final outcomes.
Pile 1
Your energy feels focused. It’s as though you are ready to branch out and do something in your own unique way. You feel mostly prepared, but still caught up on something; lately, when you watch the pros doing what you’ve been practicing behind the scenes, you notice the inner you transforming from admirer to peer. For many, this is tied to a musical talent or creative capacity. One of more people you once saw as competitors will become trusted supporters or allies. A Scorpio person could be key here. For others, this is about love. You’re anticipating the moment when someone you have your eye on really sees you. This apple of your eye may have a lot of people vying for their attention, but the competition doesn’t seem like the real issue. You could feel like you’re waiting for this person to recognize your worth and pursue you, but I sense a mirrored energy, where the other person is also waiting for you to take the first step.
If you’re part of the group of people looking to make creative moves, you’re assessing value. This talent or skill you have is one you’ve likely never monetized, so you may be determining how much value you’re creating, looking at competitors' work, noting their rates, and calculating how much time and effort go into your work and what it’s “worth”. You’re also anticipating what feedback you’ll receive. Your creative potential feels endless, but you may lack an audience right now and need to find out how to stand out in your field. If this is about a relationship, you’re calculating the risk of putting yourself out there vs. the chances that your energy will be reciprocated. The feminine energy in this situation is showing up as not only attractive and magnetic, but also creative and compassionate. While the masculine energy carries the same sex appeal and creative capacity, it lacks valuable resources. There is little tangible, high quality return on the masculine's expended energy. There is also drama surrounding this masculine right now, like a fan club. Basically, the dilemma is deciding whether to act on this or assess it further.
What helps you is working with your resources, whatever they are in your specific context. You are enough, and you have enough. If this is a romantic situation, I feel like you don’t want the spotlight that this person comes with because you anticipate criticism, as if you’re lacking in some area. Again, the masculine has what could be low-vibe energy surrounding him, but the “competition” is only feeding his ego, not his heart. I think this person likes how you protect your peace. It makes you more appealing. If you’re the creative, I feel like you may fear giving up your privacy or letting people fully into your sacred space. Some of you don’t want people you know to see what you’re doing, but some of these people could be a surprisingly good resource for you. Also, if you’re constantly creating, seeking feedback, and then creating again to avoid the [painful] silence in between, Spirit wants you to rest. The patience to sit and watch something grow is imperative. That’s what Spirit needs you to learn in this moment. Not a lesson from another book, course, or long rehearsal, but how to simply put your work out there and wait. Suffer through whatever silence comes. It’s not about the feedback yet.
Resist the urge to give up when you don’t see things working out as quickly as you’d like. There is something your intuition is trying to get you to hear before this situation resolves. This is going to move more slowly than you’d like, but that’s intentional. If you try to rush through it, you’ll only experience more setbacks than you need to.
Pile 2
You feel very tuned [with]in right now. You’re quiet, lying low. You’re not certain about what’s coming, but you’re sure it’s all going to work out as it should. Life has toughened you up through past challenges; you’ve mastered the bounce-back. After each lesson, you trust yourself more. Some of you are fresh out of a situation that went exactly how you thought it would. Your intuition kicked in and helped you dodge a bullet just in time. It was disheartening, but at least you won’t make the same mistake twice.
There may be a sincere, honest conversation needed about financial matters and/or self-isolation. So many people are going through similar challenges right now, and it often feels better to share than to suffer in silence. Whatever the situation, I feel the truth may come out without you having to say much.
There’s an opportunity here that you miss by remaining disengaged from community. Your finances are tied to your emotional connections, or simply to your decision to connect with people. For example, you could do yourself a favor by answering calls and talking to live representatives than avoiding reality right now.
This may be difficult to hear, but some of you are really struggling with self-worth. You don’t feel like you deserve rest. You feel lazy even if you’re working your fingers to the bone on unpaid tasks. It’s like if you have nothing to show for it, you basically did nothing at all. Some of you may have really been through something traumatic or a serious bout with illness, and you’ve barely given yourself time to heal. All I know is right now, one or more people are trying to connect with you emotionally, and you need it just as much as they do.
Pile 3
You’re experiencing a powerful shift in your life. Your mind is still catching up to your ever-changing reality. You might be in the midst of a domino effect, where the structures of support you grew accustomed to are toppling one by one. I’m picturing a scene from a movie where someone is trying to escape a room with a collapsing roof and walls, every way you turn there’s chaos. However, you can see a glimmer of light that points to an exit…you just have to get to it. Finally, the room stops collapsing around you and things get quiet. All you have to do is climb over the rubble to the exit. But you’re so exhausted and still trying to process what just happened. You stand up and take the first step. The room responds by dropping a few more pieces of debris, putting you back on guard. You notice a few familiar items that you want to pick up and take with you but they have no practical usage and you have nowhere to put them. You feel defeated, unsure where the light ahead will guide you.
Where you’re stuck is that you’re grieving the loss of something that never fully satisfied you. It was just familiar. No matter what it did, be it a job, a partner, a passion project, etc, it was never quite enough. Perhaps you weren’t aware that you were taking it for granted. It’s like Toni Mitchell said, “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.” You lowkey hated the routine setup, but now that you’re between what you knew and full uncertainty, you’re panicking to rush back to that resented familiar.
What helps you overcome this is what you’ve probably heard a million times: Find the source of your (un)happiness. Sometimes we find our happy place and then guilt brings us back to the status quo. If you’ve let other people sway you because their misery longed for your company, you bet against yourself each time. If you let your mind come up with a million reasons why you couldn’t have the simple life that would bring you the utmost joy, the powers that be duped you. This is a moment we all face, and in this is your opportunity to create a new reality. It just came up too quickly when you weren’t prepared. It feels like a curse at first, but once you simplify the situation and learn to spend more time doing what makes you smile (moving towards the light one step at a time), life will become brand new.
The key is in letting go. If you’ve lost all your money. Know it’s not a finite resource no matter what they’ve told us. If you’ve lost relationships, there are approximately 6.2 billion adults in this world. Even if you wouldn’t want to associate with most of them, there are some gems in there. If you’ve lost your belongings, I’m sorry, they can’t be replaced, and that’s hard. But you will find more things that bring you pleasure in life. Now you have room for them. Recognize that some things you thought to be true, aren’t. If something catches your eye, an article, a book, a video on YouTube that might put you off at first but feels familiar or curious, indulge. Because there is information waiting for you to find it.
One last thing…let go of the idea that what’s happening to you isn’t fair. This is the Universe rewriting your plan because you can’t get to where you needed to go on that old dusty path you were relying on. What hurts now will heal later.
