Gemini New Moon

What thoughts and perceptions cross your mind when you look at this photo? 

What connection does this image have to GEMINI?

I chose this image for our Gemini New Moon Oracle for two reasons:

1) The myth explains the origin of the twins, the symbol associated with Gemini, and

2)Gemini is also associated with an open, curious, versatile mind. Track your thoughts as you learn more about this image.

This photo illustrates the myth of Leda, Queen of Sparta, when seduced by  Zeus in the form of a swan.  Later twins are born: Pollux and Castor (males); and Helen and Clyteamnestra (females).  Pollux and Helen are immortal, while the other two are mortal. Gemini is associated with this and that thinking – black and white – male and female – mortal and immortal.  Perhaps your perception of the photo shifted with this information.

Eight of us met on Wednesday, 1 June 2011. Each had a question.  The energy of this Gemini new moon was used to shed light on these questions and issues.
