Moon into Gemini: Lighten Up!

Sunday evening through Wednesday morning

Tonight, the Moon sparkles into Gemini just as the weekend winds down. If fascinating conversations begin just when you should be planning the week ahead, or your lost-long friend from high school calls out of the blue, or you can't get off the internet––that would be Gemini.

To the Gemini Moon, networking feels great. The Moon's first aspect is a challenging square to Venus, newly arrived in careful Virgo. The Gemini Moon wants Venus to loosen up a little, try something new, have a laugh; and Venus in Virgo wants to check the fridge and make sure there's enough milk for breakfast and see whether we're out of peanut butter.

Overnight, the Moon sextiles Uranus in Aries, lighting up a night of scintillating dreams full of messages, adventures, and surprise. Go ahead and let Venus in Virgo find your notebook and a pen before you sleep.

Monday evening, the Leo Sun opposes Neptune retrograde in Aquarius, personal creative passions illuminated and informed by cosmic intuitive messages. This would be a great time for meditation, visualization or journeys. Late Monday night, a sextile between the Gemini Moon and Saturn in Libra might help us actually remember and record what we learn.

Early Tuesday, the Sun enters Virgo, and the overheated end-of-summer energy drops a notch or two. Attention turns from squeezing the last fun out of summer to preparing for autumn. The Gemini Moon sextiles Mercury retrograde in Leo, a reminder to reflect on whatever the summer has brought forth, and connect the dots.

In the early hours of Wednesday, the Moon trines Neptune in Aquarius, making this another night for big, cosmic dreams. This is the Moon's last classical aspect in Gemini, leaving us floating in a Neptunian lunar landscape until the Moon steps through her own front door, entering the sign of Cancer at 6:31am Wednesday. This could be one of those mornings when dream images and emotions carry through into the day, so keep a journal handy.
