What an amazing ride we're in for with this Gemini Moon! It's good this Moon loves connecting and is adaptable, crafty, and able to see the humor in any situation ... we may find ourselves pulling all those qualities and more out of the toy chest in the next few days. Full Moon, full lunar eclipse, and more ...

The Moon pops into Gemini tonight, and moves into an intriguing set of aspects right away––Uranus, Jupiter and Chiron in less than an hour, two "easy" connections and one challenge, and the three big energies lined up in the early degrees of three adjoining signs. "Three planets walked into a bar.." we might say "... and then I found five dollars." Of course, another version of the all-purpose tag line is "... and then my car blew up." Which will it be? Think both/and.

A square to Chiron the healing mentor, with a sextile to revolutionary Uranus and a semisextile to expansive Jupiter says to me something like "the only way out is through." Look for innovative, outside-the-box ways, unexpected solutions, and new perspectives. A good model for this whole Gemini Moon thing.

Friday puts the Gemini Moon into tricky territory. An opposition with Mercury retrograde, and Mercury rules Gemini––what's that about? Followed by a this-feels-awkward inconjunct to Pluto and an outright square to Mars, today we indeed ask ourselves, what's it all about?

We might feel we're walking on eggshells. A light touch will help maintain balance and perspective. If eggs break, make an omelet. Remember to laugh.

Saturday! Take a look at Saturday ... the Moon aligns with the South Node and opposes the North: Where is the balance on our life path? Can we maintain balance by releasing old karma? What can we let go of? Now's the time––right now!

Uranus turns direct at 0 Aries. Boom! The Aries point in our birth charts is where new energies come into our lives. Uranus was here before, then turned back, and now turns forward again. In a retrograde pattern, the first touch is the wake-up call. The second, retrograde, touch tells us this (whatever "this" is) is not going away. The third is the check-in: Where are we now? Have we embraced our epiphanies? Have we made adjustments? Are we different than we were back in March?

The Moon is inconjunct Venus in Capricorn––more awkward feelings, more need to adjust. Are we there yet?

And suddenly, we're there. Here. Somewhere bright, somewhere fully illuminated––except during the lunar eclipse. Full-on, visible in North America as the Moon sets. A gateway to change.

The Moon is Full in Gemini, conjunct the Nodes of the Moon, squared by Mars and Ceres, with a yod pointing at the Moon and South Node formed by Venus and Juno. The Sun and North Node, aligned with our mid-Sagittarian galactic center, are the answer to solving the yod.

What does it all mean? Do I hear someone out there saying "42!"?? Yes, life is a serious business. Yes, there are many perils surrounding us. Yes, there is grave injustice, cruelty, greed, devastation. And ... and ... there is meaning. Warmth. Connection. Generosity. Love. With this Full Moon, we say yes to it all. With Zorba, we embrace the full catastrophe.

The Full Moon Saturday morning is the last aspect that whole day, so bask in the glow of the philosophical, generous, warm Sun reflecting off the spritely, surprising, scintillating Moon.

Sunday morning the Moon trines Saturn and Neptune. These are energies for manifestation. With this Gemini Moon, light something up. Start something new. Share it with the world. If you've been waiting for the right time, it's now.
