It’s a cosmic wrap! This new moon solar eclipse in cerebral Gemini completes the final piece of the eclipse puzzle. But to fully understand this three-part series, including the full moon lunar eclipse and Mercury retrograde's part in it all, let’s recap from the beginning.

Remember that I spoke about finding your true North? That was during the lunar eclipse in Sagittarius, which focused on being authentic, changing opinions, and turning your belief system on its head. And because that lunar eclipse aligned with the Moon’s South Node, it encouraged you to detach from past ideas and outgrown narratives. In other words, releasing what's not in your ultimate best interests.

Enter Mercury retrograde, acting as a go-between for the full moon lunar eclipse and this solar new moon eclipse. While in retrograde, Mercury asks you to go within. To take your foot off the accelerator while you figure it all out. After all, beliefs aren’t formed overnight. They're often based on seeing things in a certain way for a good number of years. So, it takes time to release your tight grip on what you've always known to be true. Your opinions are based on a lifetime's collection of acquired knowledge, information and data. 

Sure, by going retrograde, Mercury messes with some technical and communication stuff. But during this eclipse storm, Mercury’s job is to dump all the information at your feet, and then it’s up to you to sort out fact from fiction.

Next up, we have this new Moon solar eclipse in Gemini. Not so surprisingly, it's in the same sign as Mercury and the polar opposite zodiac sign of Sagittarius. Meaning that whatever became unhinged or irrelevant during the lunar eclipse is now replaced with new seeds of thought. To top it off, this new moon eclipse aligns with the Moon's North Node, which points onwards and upwards as it shouts, "Your true North lies ahead. This way, darling!"

A word of caution; usually, a new Moon gives you the go-ahead to move forward with fresh projects. However, an eclipse throws a spanner in the works. So while you're encouraged to form new beliefs, and map out your path, wait two weeks before acting on them.
