What I'm trying to say here is even if it's not terribly urgent, if you have something to take care of where some extra assistance would be of help, don't put it off.  Git 'r' dun.  For example, if you've been thinking about a career move, now would be a good time to initiate it by updating your resume and putting it out there.  Or if there's something you promised to do as a public service but haven't gotten around to yet, this extra boost will not only help you complete it but communicate it as well, increasing the likelihood you'll get proper credit.  You certainly know how networking works already, so throw that in the mix and note that completing that obligation could conceivably open a door to the career move.  But it won't happen automatically and time's passing with or without your permission.

You think quickly and assimilate material well, but you may have felt that for sometime now you've not quite been up to your usual abilities.  If your birthday is roughly between June 7 - 14 this will have been hard to ignore.  More than likely you've been more self-centered in your thoughts lately with a self-imposed (or possibly externally imposed) sense of discipline.  There is also the possibility that there are restrictions or boundaries, either real or imagined, that are holding your ideas hostage.  This is not necessarily a bad thing, but there has been a tug-o-war going on between that and some nebulous, original dream you have of the ultimate truth. 

Maybe it's not quite that philosophical; perhaps it simply entails an internal dialog over some inventive inspiration you've had relative to other 9th House issues such as higher education, legal matters, or long-distance travel.  You're smart enough to put the pieces together and at least now you understand there's an astrological source for it all.  On April 21 some of the delays, at least of the self-imposed variety, should let loose, though completion probably won't occur until toward the end of July.  I know that seems like a long time, but if you just keep moving in typical Gemini fashion, it will be here before you know it.  And knowing how you like data, if you wonder who the Zodiacal culprits are, they happen to be Saturn in your Natural 3rd House of mental activity in opposition to Neptune, planet of inspiration as well as deception, in your Natural 9th House.

The Full Moon on the 2nd occurs in your Natural 5th House, which encompasses your children, love life and creativity.  A Full Moon usually heralds an ending of some sort.  Maybe one of your children is entering into a new phase of life, a love affair is ending or possibly moving into another phase, or maybe one of your creative efforts is reaching completion.  If this is the case, be prepared to let it go and look forward to new endeavors, of which there is seldom of shortage where Geminis are concerned.  The New moon on the 17th occurs in your Natural 11th House of groups.  This could well bring you your next project, of which you may already be somewhat aware and is most likely to bring an opportunity of some sort, particularly if your birthday falls around the third week of June.

I wouldn't be surprised if your relationships of either a personal or business nature have been on your radar lately.  More than likely they have been undergoing two different and equally significant exercises, one of expansion to new vistas and also a weeding out process of which are useful and which are not.  This is a natural evolution that occurs and we learn, grow and move on and should not be looked upon as a negative occurrence.  If you believe that it's time for some of them to close, give them a decent burial by consciously extracting what you learned from them, how you benefited but also why it's time for it to end.  The planets we're dealing with here are Jupiter and Pluto, both of which will be going retrograde this month, on the 6th and 1st, respectively.  This will give you the opportunity to ponder these issues at a subconscious level and be ready for the inevitable a few months down the road.  Just remember that life is all about progressing, so don't feel as if you've failed when it's simply time to move on.
