Moon into Gemini: Express Yourself!

Sunday morning through Tuesday afternoon

In the early hours of Sunday, the Moon scintillates into Gemini, mutable Air, the sign that loves to connect. With Pluto now moving direct, we're feeling a new sense of release and movement. The Gemini Moon is ready to break out of the cocoon and fly!

The Moon's first aspect is an energizing sextile with Uranus in Aries, a trickster dance inviting us to be who we are, no matter what, and have fun with it. Later, a flowing trine with creative Venus in Libra opens all kinds of windows of expression in art and relationship, and the art of relating.

Sunday evening, Venus in Libra squares Pluto in Capricorn, a challenge on how best to incorporate Pluto's bone-deep transformational energy into our lives harmoniously, beautifully and peacefully. Not long after, Mars leaves emotional Cancer behind and blazes into Leo, adding more energy to the urge to passionately, creatively express ourselves.

Monday brings a trine between the Gemini Moon and Saturn in Libra, and, a few hours later, a square between the Moon and Mercury in Virgo. More focus on creativity, this time with an emphasis on problem solving. The Moon–Saturn connection creates a flow of ideas and communications around whatever we need to sort out, and the Moon–Mercury challenge makes sure we don't miss any important details.

Tuesday morning is waning Half Moon, the Sun–Moon square that alerts us to what we've now completed. Can we let go of our finished work completely? The Virgo Sun might say, oh, wait, I need to fix a few more things on this ... While the Gemini Moon is already looking over the next horizon. But it's time in the lunar cycle to release and begin preparing for the New Moon to come.

A flowing trine between the Gemini Moon and Neptune in Aquarius offers a glimpse of what's over that enticingly luminous horizon. This is the last classical aspect in Gemini, beginning a void of course time at 12:33pm EDT that continues until the Moon enters her home sign of Cancer at 2:53pm EDT.

Gemini Moons are bright, sociable and flirty, ready to dance with ideas, themes, memes and people. This Gemini transit, beginning with Uranus and ending with Neptune, invites us to dance to our own tune, expressing our own dreams.
