The Moon is gradually moving through the sign of Gemini while stirring up excitement, a tendency for impulsive action, or the expression of intense emotions. This influence also highlights the emotional need for mental stimulation and the curiosity that inspires one to seek answers. Perhaps this is prompted by the end of a mental cycle in which you feel either overwhelmed or bored. You or others can be particularly chatty due to an incessant need to connect. At times, these superficial exchanges are merely the opportunity for entertaining and clever articulation rather than honest, intimate, and truthful discussion. Upcoming events are likely to involve persons with strong Gemini in the natal chart (sun, moon, or rising sign).

The moon can rouse you to feel responsible for a loved one which manifests as burdens, duties and expectations as part of the expression of love. Social stimulation means that friendships and acquaintances, especially among women, are strongly featured during this period. In fact, you may actually confide and rely more so on friends while detaching from family, especially if your family is opposed to your goals or life direction.  In turn, friends are more likely to assist you emotionally and financially to achieve your hopes and wishes. Unfortunately, an end of relationships with siblings, cousins, or neighbors is indicated as well as difficulties that can arise through in-laws, foreigners, or those living at a distance.

Greater group involvement will often center on the discussion of issues or problems where the quality of life is profoundly linked to the world at large. Accordingly, the crime rate, the health of the environment, the economy, and large corporations or power structures are factors which impact personal destiny. The public response is one of anger at injustices and applied effort in seeking a different order. Although the tendency is to be black and white in one’s judgment of social issues, you’ll need to examine the accuracy of details to disregard gossip and news from unreliable sources and then step back to objectively consider the broader message. Compassion and charity must be combined with pragmatism and the concrete reality of responsibility while also honoring idealism and visionary inspiration. As a whole, these circumstances provide the opportunity to experience strong emotions through exchanges that are not burdened by the weight of personal responsibility. In some instances, situations involve women colleagues; women known for their fighting spirit, or hard-working or energetic women.

Personally, you might spend this cycle putting forth vigorous effort toward an important dream or goal that requires you first gather information in order to make a decision or choice. A major undertaking necessitates personal commitment to a project, cause, idea or belief. Any negative response you receive may actually strengthen your conviction, dedication, and motivation to realize the goal. But circumstances also demand that you reassess objectives to determine if they truly reflect your own needs and desires and will offer emotional fulfillment when completed. Perhaps this marks a period that signifies the end a spiritual cycle and the death of old belief systems and philosophies that no longer serve a purpose. A new awareness can be the outgrowth of a pilgrimage to foreign places or a self-seeking journey that inspires internal change and self-improvement.

But with an interception creating delays and obstacles, the problem becomes executing optimistic plans rather than conceding to blockages to your ability to organize and control. You can procrastinate when it’s time to put plans into action or take on more than is feasible. The energy indicates potential problems with work, co-workers and subordinates, services that you provide, and health. It can indicate how you sabotage yourself in the pursuit of freedom and independence sought at the expense of security or where you may be out of touch with your ambitions and the resulting inability to achieve anything permanent or secure.

“Them’s fightin’ words,” can be the type of energy that exhibits with the moon linked to retrograde Mars through interactions that, for some, can lead to disagreement, intolerance, or marital differences. It’s a cycle where secret information can be given to the wrong person or parties may fraudulently misrepresent the facts. This suggests the need for caution concerning verbal or written statements and reviewing the fine print of contracts to avoid legal problems. Be sure you’re able to fulfill obligations before signing anything. Consequently, you may be unable to depend on a significant other for one reason or another. They may be unreliable, unresponsive, or unsupportive, especially when feeling threatened by your need for independence.

In some instances, a dilemma is caused by the fear of giving up freedom for the demands of a committed relationship. Perhaps there are situations involving love that interfere with work or affect your reputation or credibility. On the other hand, you may refuse assistance as you actively work to take the steps toward independence and autonomy. The goal might include going off to school, relocating, living on your own, becoming self-employed, or self-supporting. While the prospects feel exhilarating, the frequent changes to your plans are also unsettling.

This influence can bring a new friendship of love or the intensification of a current relationship with the possibility of marriage. But the duality of this power is not to be trifled with or underestimated as it harbors the potential for attraction and repulsion. The keyword for this cycle is blundering and highlights those who overestimate personal power and capabilities. The pointless quarrels that ensue through careless or stupid mistakes offer no benefit, bring trouble, and indicate a waste of energy with little to show for the effort.
