Waning Moon in Gemini, Moving toward Cancer

Today's Picture of the Day

The Moon continues networking in Gemini, the bright butterfly, making connections with a number of transiting planets. Gemini is the multitasker par excellence, so today's multiple connections feed this Moon's love of asking and answering questions. As we continue in the waning half of the lunar cycle, we look to understand and integrate our experiences.

The Moon flows energy in trine with Venus at 12:30pm EDT, with Mars at 6:46pm, and the Neptune-Chiron conjunction at 9:26pm. Since we begin with Venus, today you may feel the urge to communicate with those closest to you (Moon-Venus in Air signs), take action on what you learn (Moon-Mars), and gain intuitive insights about creating the relationships you long for (Moon-Neptune).

Venus and Neptune are also wonderfully creative planets, so as bright new ideas flow easily (Moon-Venus), take action to express them concretely (Moon-Mars), and the results may touched by the magical, numinous hand of the Muse (Moon-Neptune).

Oh, and Venus is also a money planet ... so if innovative business ideas pop up (Moon-Venus), do something concrete to figure out if those ideas have legs (Moon-Mars), and you might connect with a flow of intuitive guidance to take things to the next level (Moon-Neptune). Who knows? With a Gemini Moon, relationships, creativity and finances could all be part of your day!

However you choose to work with the Gemini Moon, a challenge in square to innovative Uranus will push for one more view of the situation, something unexpected and outside the box. This square comes exact at 1:40am Friday, and sends the Moon into her time-between-times. She steps into her home sign of Cancer at 2:50am.

In Cancer, the Moon's qualities are intensified, so tonight's dreams may be rich and full of feeling. Place paper and pen close to your bedside, and a faint light, so you can record any messages from the lunar realms without leaving the Moon's embrace completely. Enjoying today's flow of bright Gemini energy will give you lots of new material for dreams, and closing aspects to Neptune, Chiron and Uranus open the way for intuition to flow.
