🪐The Power of Gemini: Tips for Improved Communication and Creative Thinking 🌟
The Midnight Scholar Society Weekly Newsletter
Hello Everyone!
🌌 Heavy Transits and Cosmic Insights 🪐
I come to you on the other side of some intense astrological transits! Before we dive deep into the stars, let's recap this week’s enlightening lesson. We ventured into the realm of the 3rd House in Gemini, guided by our host, Mercury—during its retrograde, no less! This was a perfect moment as Mercury’s slowed pace allowed us to uncover details that are often missed when it zips by. The delays and communication disruptions, though challenging, have indeed been illuminating.
In class, we delved into the House of Communications, highlighting the tale of Gemini, symbolized by the twin brothers—one mortal, one immortal—and the inseparable bond they shared. This myth beautifully illustrates the connection between our immortal soul and our mortal ego, revealing how deeply our soul endeavors to save us from the mundane. Our Gemini placements shed light on this dynamic, reflecting our internal narratives and how we express our innate talents and spark to the world.
🎧 Complementary Podcast Episode: Strengthening the Sense of Thought
🌟Episode 03: Exploring the 12 Non-Material Senses
In our latest podcast episode, we delve into the intriguing connections between the 3rd House and our non-material sense of thought. This episode is designed to enrich our understanding of the 3rd House, enhancing our ability to navigate the intricate realm of thoughts and communication. Just as one learns to recognize the distinct aroma of freshly baked cookies, understanding the nuances of thought can become second nature. This refined awareness is crucial for seizing opportunities, making sense of rejections, and synchronizing our actions with the evolving material world to effectively manifest our intentions.
🌍 Astrological Updates: Tornado of Cosmic Energies 🌪️
Jupiter and Uranus Conjunction: This alignment is currently unfolding, bringing the disruptive energy of Uranus to the expansive nature of Jupiter. Happening in the earthy sign of Taurus, this conjunction grounds the energy more than usual, but still, prepare for a whirlwind effect in your life, especially alongside the ongoing Saturn/Mars conjunction.
Saturn/Mars Conjunction in Pisces: Often feeling like an emotional wringer, this conjunction is demanding we organize and structure our emotions, a challenging task with the overwhelming influence of Pisces. If you're feeling submerged, remember Mercury's lesson: go with the flow, stay present, and embrace the chaos for the messages it brings.

Title: "Women Who Run with the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Themes: Psyche, Inner strength, wisdom, and the power of the wild woman archetype.
When: Thursday, April 25, 2024 from 6:00 to 7:00 PM MST
As we continue with "Women Who Run with Wolves," I'm reminded of the first story, "Bluebeard." Dr. Estés's analysis of Bluebeard and our inner "failed magician" is a poignant reflection of the darkness found in the First House. We encounter failed creations when we crave something "new," and these remnants can wreak havoc if not properly acknowledged and released. I strongly encourage members to join our book club meetings for deeper insights that extend beyond the pages. These sessions are not recorded, so attendance is key to unlocking these treasures.
This month we will deep dive into the second story and along with the jungian interpretations: “Vasalisa the Wise” which is all about identifying and healing weakened intuition and thus developing and strengthening our intuition. I wouldn’t want to miss this as it will pair nicely with next week’s class. The 2nd House of Desire/Finance best known as Spiritual Wealth.
