The Pisces Sun squares the insanely busy moon in Gemini. At the first quarter, the moon rises at noon, peaks at dusk, and sets at midnight all over the world.

This waxing first quarter moon propels us forward at breakneck speed into the next lunar cycle. Quarter phases solidify and clarify. This is an excellent time to meet and talk with friends and loved ones. As we speak our thoughts aloud, mind-clouds concretize into plans and visions of the future.

Gemini is all about communication and close relationships. It’s time to tap into the creative-intellectual brain and have some fantastic conversations. This is certainly a huge shift from sleepy Pisces. Gemini is more gregarious, more excitable, eager to connect. The twins gift us with sharp insight and wit.

When mutable constellations get together, mind and spirit race like flying fish through the clouds. In fact this moon phase is so invigorating that insomnia is likely. The good news is that we’ll have so much energy that sleep honestly doesn’t matter much.

This time of year is undeniably challenging, with reality drifting before us like an abstract mural, swirling and swelling kaleidoscopically; soft and amorphous, dispersed at the lightest touch. Gemini is more discerning. From Gemini we learn the art of writing, linguistics, and debate. Gemini is a scholar and wordsmith. The twins give us a scintillating feeling, electricity running from brain to fingertips.

Swirl words like delicious elixirs in your mouth. Roll them around, flip them up in the air, whisper them into your lover’s ears. We are loquacious and sesquipedalian, yearning for our messages to be heard and understood. For God’s sake, unleash the inner artist.

This moon phase forms a very loose conjunction to Mars in Gemini, which will still offer us a mega dose of physical and sexual energy. Enjoy!!! 🔥
