Moon in Gemini

Thursday night through Sunday morning

The Moon sprints into Gemini, mutable Air, tonight and gets ready for busy times. Just after midnight, 12:31am EST Friday, the Moon arrives in Gemini. At 6:55am Friday, she flows energy in sextile with Mercury, Gemini's ruler,  newly arrived in Aries. We might hear ripples of magical sound as this meeting, heralding a seismic arrival.

Friday's energy is one of opening the ways, of connecting, easing, burnishing, and smoothing. The Gemini Moon, always open to new experiences, and Mercury in Aries, pioneering in thought and communication, want everything ready. Today's the day for clearing away the last bits of whatever is left undone, not necessarily finishing it, more sweeping it away with new brooms.

Tonight, the Awakener arrives. And if that sounds like a scifi movie spoof, well, Uranus is a trickster as well as a revolutionary. Having somebody standing there with a goofy grin on his face saying "BOOM!" doesn't make the explosion less shattering. Friday evening at 7:49pm EST Uranus arrives in Aries for good, ready to rumble.

The Moon connects the dots, beginning with a sextile to Jupiter in Aries, to say, look! Jupiter the expander is here too making everything bigger! The Moon trines Venus in Aquarius, urging us to embrace Uranian revolution in our relationships, finances and creative lives. Then, the Moon squares Pluto overnight, drawing attention to the Jupiter-Pluto square shaking our world to its foundations.

Early Saturday, the Gemini Moon trines Saturn in Libra, where we're reminded that sustainable change requires balance and strength. Later in the day, the waxing square between Sun and Moon arrives, the Half Moon challenge where our commitment to New Moon intentions is tested. If our intentions take a new, unexpected form, do we still want them? No? Yes? It's decision time.

Even time moves faster, as we spring ahead into Daylight time Saturday night. Will we notice the missing hour?

Sunday morning, the Moon flows energy in trine with Neptune in Aquarius. This connection may offer a vision of what is coming, which may or may not prove helpful in the tumultuous times ahead. At 10:29am EDT, the Moon steps into Cancer, her safe home. A note to the wise, though: Sunday will not be quiet.
