Waning Moon in Gemini

Today's note covers the Moon's transits today and tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Today, the Moon and Sun reach their waning trine, a time of understanding during the disseminating phase of the lunar cycle. This trine happens in Air, the Moon in bright, communicative Gemini and the Sun in balanced, harmonius Libra. Saturn in Libra is nearby, conjunct the Sun, lending his gravitas to the meeting.

Connecting with energies of Air––thinking, planning, communicating––we have a bit of a reprieve from the intense emotions of last week's Full Moon. The Mars-Venus transit through Scorpio is still stirring the pot, revealing the hidden and bringing up issues for review, and here again today's Air trine can help keep things in perspective.

The Moon's trine to the Sun comes exact at 12:27pm EDT, the trine to Saturn at 4:16pm, so feel the fresh Air blowing the clouds away (metaphorically speaking ... it's pouring rain here!). Writing, networking, planning, talking, texting, blogging all have the potential to move you forward toward your goals.

The energy of communication continues Wednesday with a challenge in square to Mercury. This challenge is not the contest it might appear, as Mercury rules Gemini and fully supports communication in all forms. With Mercury in practical Virgo, this square is likely to feel more like an echo of Tuesday's trine with Saturn ... a reminder that our thoughts and communications can drift into 'airy nothings.' A touch of Earth gives them 'a location habitation and a name.'
