"During this New Moon we are being encouraged to open up, to expand and deepen and to reach for that Truth that lies within. And to communicate from that place of authenticity that we often keep under lock and key."~Anna Chapman
I embrace new beginnings with curiosity and an open mind.
I express my true self, communicating clearly and effectively.
I adapt to changes with ease and grace, growing and learning along the way.
I radiate positivity and attract positive communication and connections.

"After the grounding vibrations of Taurus Season, Gemini comes in to stir our curiosity and need for adventure. This season is a time to unravel, unfold, and become inspired by life again. It’s a journey of learning, testing, and questioning. This is the time to survey our lives and ask what needs to be adjusted, then decide if those adjustments need to take place in our minds. Ruled by air and the planet Mercury, this season’s energy moves quickly. It’s possible to create any change imaginable during this time. The key is to connect with your body and breath to stay rooted in the present moment while adjusting your perspective to encompass a wider view.
Gemini is often thought of as the sign of communication. While this is true, Gemini’s energy goes much deeper than that. How we communicate is just the surface level of this sign. Gemini provides a window into our thought processes, beliefs, expectations, and overall mindset. This energy helps us understand why we see things a certain way and how to shift that perspective to change our reality. This season is an opportunity to reframe our lives. It’s a chance to become aware of how our expectations and beliefs affect our ability to manifest our visions. It’s also a time to find silver linings and unexpected results from life’s many challenges."

"Gemini’s astrological correspondent is the Lovers card, as the two of them focus greatly on the power of communication and what it can create between not only two bodies, but between all humans. This card also depicts the union of opposites, and the possibilities when dual-natured entities create a greater whole."

Wild Dancing: Focus on the Light of the Heart
"How one walks through the world, the endless small adjustments of balance, is affected by the shifting weights of beautiful things.”
~Elaine Scarry
“Let us dance in the sun, wearing wild flowers in our hair...”

Inspired by the exuberant energy of summer, we are going to take a look at a card from Rebecca Campbell's Work Your Light Oracle Cards. The "Dance" card is all about how energy flows, grows, and illuminates our lives, if we are willing to dance with life and be open to what arises...
Then we will try responding to some journal prompts adapted from teacher Radhule Weininger's book Heartwork: The Path of Self-Compassion: 9 Practices for Opening the Heart.
Dance | Do something to shift your vibration.
"Life is always moving. If you resist this ever-changing flow, your energy will become stagnant and you will fall out of flow with the Universe. The Universe has a mysterious intelligent force, a natural rhythmic beat, which governs all of life. One of the best ways to shift your energy, frequency, and vibration is to put on some music and dance along with it.
When we dance unrestrained our spirit takes over, and with each new bop, sway, and kick we are rocked back into harmony with the rest of life. Get unstuck by doing something that shifts your vibration. Put on some music, dance unrestrained and fall into the frequency of life. In doing so, your body will begin to learn how to be moved by your intuition, which is connected with this systemic beat.
If dancing isn’t your thing, then simply do something that you would not usually do to shift the energy. You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it and you cannot attract a different experience without changing your energy first. It’s time to shift things up and to find a way to dance along with the beat of life."

Journaling to Open the Heart
Sit down with a pencil and paper in a quiet place. Make yourself comfortable, rest in your gentle breath, and see what images and stories arise as you read the following prompts. If your own experiences come to mind, do some free writing.
~What is your relationship to your own heart, the organ of psychological and spiritual perfection, of intuition and the longing to connect? Can you remember a particular time in your life when you discovered your relationship to your heart?
~Write about a time in your life when you felt disconnected from yourself, when it was hard for you to experience compassion and warmth for yourself.
~Think about loving-kindness, or your ability to wish others well and to think of them kindly. Wishing for another person to be healthy, happy, and safe.
~Think about compassion, or your ability to open your heart on a deep level and "feel with" your own as well as another's suffering.
~Think about someone for whom you had (or have) difficulty feeling loving-kindness or compassion.
~Radhule Weininger, MD, PhD, Heartwork: The Path of Self-Compassion: 9 Practices for Opening the Heart
By approaching ourselves with a gentle curiosity we can access hidden treasures of insight and experience. We can hold open the door to more loving, authentic connections with others, by deciding to explore the depths of our hearts, and remain open rather than closed. It is not the easiest path, but it is very rewarding.
"Dancers stay balanced by fixing their eyes on a focal point. A steady intention allows for optimal flexibility.
In the waves of change, let the Light of your heart be the focal point. Your heart will notice what we all have in common. Focus on that.
Your heart will show you a more beautiful vision of the future. Focus on that. Your heart will show you what to be grateful for. Focus on that."
~Danielle LaPorte, How to Be Loving (As Your Heart is Breaking Open and Our World is Waking Up)
