  • Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury and is connected to the 3rd house.
  • Gemini is a masculine, air, mutable sign.
  • Gemini is one of the dual signs of the zodiac
  • Versatile, changeable, fun, neighbourhood knowledgeable and chatty, are a few of the traits of our Gemini friends and loved ones. They are fun to be around, happy to try new experiences with either quick mind or one that may be slightly slower, but equally capable of gathering little bits of knowledge along the journey we call life.. However, they can get bored easily, and when this happens the usual happy go lucky attitude can change to one of moodiness and sensitivity.

We hope that your year ahead is filled with goodness, light and love…

Venus in Cancer experiences a challenging aspect to Neptune in Aries late night (PT).  A nice mixture of positive and challenging aspects.. the positive ones will help to offset the challenging ones… Be prepared to do some work, you might have more on your plate then usual. A surprise or unexpected situation may occur, that demands your attention. Probably not a good day to force issues. Signs likely to be most affected are: Leo, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Aquarius. To a lessor effect, Sagittarius, Scorpio and Libra.
  • 5) Aspects for May 22: Venus in Cancer experiences a challenging aspect to Neptune in Aries early hours (ET). The Sun in Gemini experiences a variable aspect to Uranus in Gemini.

Different area’s of life will be affected by different people throughout the day and into the night, depending on where each of these planets fall within the wheel. For the most part it looks like an o.k. day.. surprises may be in store for some of us, hopefully happy ones. A good understanding of what’s need to be done, even the chores that have been put on the back burner for a while. May be a good day for healing, as the energy and pioneering spirit of Aries will push for it.

NOTES:

  • 1) Aspects: May 23. The Moon experiences 7 aspects, most are challenging. Don’t expect things to go the way you may have envisioned today. Unexpected messages bring news you may not have wanted, but that will force you to make some decisions that need to be made. Probably not a good day to try and do any decorating or updating to your “safe space” as it’s not likely to go smoothly. Changes may be on the horizon for some of us. Love sent to anyone who may experience a loss during this time. Take care of your health when feeling under the weather, if you listen well to your body it will let you know when it needs a little bit of self TLC. Boredom may be an issue, feelings of restlessness may bring out the worst in some, Finding a healthy way of releasing extra energy is recommended. The signs likely to most affected are: Virgo, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Aquarius and Cancer. To a lessor effect, Pisces, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra and Capricorn. 
  • 2) Aspects, May 24: The Moon experiences two aspects, a challenging one and a positive one. the last occurring as she goes void of course. The day begins with a challenging aspect, and getting our point across might not be an easy task. Some of us could be feeling sensitive about an issue, however, finding someone to have empathy or compassion to those feelings might be a tough go. Better to leave any emotionally sensitive discussion until another day if possible. By the evening, things should start to get better, with life on the home front expanding in positivity… News of a pregnancy might be in the cards for some. The Sun in Gemini experiences a positive aspect with Neptune in Aries, late into the night, so we might not all be able to take advantage of this… but if you can go for it… Our imagination is on fire and who knows what fantastic ideas can be birthed now. The signs likely to be most affected are: Gemini and Sagittarius.

May 25 @ 10:34 am (ET) @7:34 am (PT) The Moon moves into the sign of Libra

  • Moon is in the 2nd quarter
  • Moon void of course: May 27 @7:32 am (ET) @4:32 am (PT)

NOTES:

  • 1) May 25 is Memorial Day in the USA, we wish our neighbours an enjoyable and safe long weekend. 
  • 2) Aspects for May 25: The Moon experiences 5 aspects from early afternoon into late evening. 3 are positive aspects and two are challenging aspects. Some of us could get the itch to do something fun and new with our surroundings. Negotiations could go well if the right people are doing the negotiating, otherwise there will be a stalemate. An unexpected outcome to an ongoing situation is likely. Dealings with loved ones and work mates may not go smoothly and some folks could get their feathers ruffled. Best not to push emotional issues right now. Check your emotions, are you over reacting or is this mood warranted? Dreams could be dashed now, so take care who you share your deepest wishes with. In the PT zone, around 9pm, Mars in Taurus will hit a snag with Pluto in Aquarius. A situation needs to come to an end, but someone might be being more stubborn then they need to be, making it impossible to come to a mutual agreement. The signs most affected are: Libra, Gemini, Aries, Taurus and Aquarius and to a lessor effect, Sagittarius, Scorpio and Leo.
  • 3) Aspects for May 26: Mars in Taurus hits a snag with Pluto in Aquarius in the ET zone, early hours. (see above). The Moon makes a total of 3 aspects beginning early in the morning and throughout the morning hours, 2 Aspects are challenging, one is positive. The Sun in Gemini experiences a positive aspect with Pluto in Aquarius just before noon. There may be push back regarding a situation, or bickering between family members, (especially kids), it’s a tense sort of day, with some of feeling like we are on guard. We could balk at our responsibilities today, so it’s probably not the best time to say yes to any added responsibilities. There is a sense of fun in the air, of not taking things too seriously, it’s more of a “lets try this” feel to the day. Keep in mind that new experiences may not go as planned. Signs likely to most affected are, Taurus, Aquarius, Cancer, Aries and Gemini, to a lessor effect, Scorpio, Leo, Capricorn and Sagittarius.
  • 4) Aspects for May 27 up to Moon into Scorpio. The Moon experiences 3 aspects, only one is a positive one. The first aspect begins early in the am (ET) having occurred in the PT already. A good connection between the mind and emotions, making decision making easier to do, creating a sense of calm in the day. Some of us may not like the way things are heading on the domestic front, perhaps folks aren’t doing their chores or getting homework done on time, and things just keep piling on top of each other. Do what you can, take a breather and when the energy presents, get a little bit more organized. The signs likely to be affected are, Libra, Gemini, Cancer and Aries, to lessor effect, Sagittarius and Capricorn.

May 27 @ 8:53pm (ET) @ 5:53pm (PT) The Moon moves into the sign of Scorpio

NOTES:

  • 1) Aspects May 27th: The Moon experiences one challenging aspect late night PT zone. 
  • 2)Aspects May 28th: The Moon experiences a total of 7 aspects throughout the day into the night. 5 are challenging aspects taking place before noon, the last two aspects occurring late evening include one positive and one challenging. Venus experiences a challenging aspect late night. This could be a busy day for some, as there is a chaotic feel to the energy around us. A challenging day, as domestic/family duties clash with outside responsibilities, this could be a good time to balance out these life area’s. Change is in the air, this may be difficult for some folks to adjust to, and while others have been feeling eager and restless for change, this might not be the change you were anticipating. Take care when driving or using power tools. Signs most likely to be affected are, Scorpio, Gemini, Aries, Aquarius, Taurus and Cancer and to a lessor effect, Sagittarius, Leo and Capricorn. 
  • 3) Aspects May 29th: The Moon experiences two aspects, one is positive, occurring late evening, (during voc) the other is challenging occurring late night PT zone. Likely, a much quieter and calmer day then yesterday… some of us may even feel slightly bored. Signs most likely to be affected are, Scorpio, Cancer and Gemini, to a lessor effect, Taurus, Capricorn and Sagittarius. 
  • 4) Aspects May 30th up to Moon into Sagittarius. The Moon experiences two challenging aspects beginning in the early morning hours. Signs most likely to be affected are, Scorpio, Gemini and Aries, to a lessor effect, Taurus, Sagittarius and Libra.  

May 30th @ 8:45 am (ET) @ 5:45 am (PT) the Moon moves into the sign of Sagittarius.

  • Moon void of course: May 31 @9:21 am (ET) @6:21 am (PT)
  • Opportunity Period: None
  • Click Here to see our past post of the transiting moon in Sagittarius

NOTES: 

  • 1) Aspects May 30th: Moon experiences 3 aspects, beginning just after noon, (challenging) with the other two, which are positive, beginning in the evening. A bit of a bumpy ride in the first part of the day, where resistance to something is strong. On the other hand, it’s possible that someone(s) are fighting hard for a change. (Likely within the community/neighbourhood). Through  persistent “rebellious” actions, something wonderful may happen… and may be connected to the change mentioned above. For the most part the afternoon should go well, with a healthy pinch of positivity thrown in. Signs most likely to be affected are, Sagittarius, Gemini, Aries and Aquarius, to a lessor effect, Libra and Leo. 
  • 2) Aspects May 31st: Moon experiences two challenging aspects before going void of course, and then experiences 3 more aspects. Positive, Challenging back to positive. Beginning early am and moving throughout the day into the evening. This is the day of the Full Moon. The early morning hours could bring a challenging few hours into the mix, communicating what you really think could be censored or muted. As we move through the day and after the Full Moon connection, things should start to ease up a bit.. Personal energy levels could be elevated, giving us the much needed motivation to get to those household chores and family responsibilities we may have been avoiding. If you have been suffering from ill health, today is a good day to take things seriously with a dash of light heartedness, your body will feel it and boost the healing. 
  • 3) FULL MOON in Sagittarius. The moon becomes full on May 31st at 4:45 am (ET) @ 1:45 am (PT). The full moon is traditionally believed to be a time of completion and endings. In modern times, we like to say it’s also a good time to finish up the projects we have had on the go but keep putting on back shelve for “later”. A suggestion for anyone thinking of initiating a relationship break up… please think carefully of what you say and how you say, we love Sagittarius for her fun loving ways, and explorative spirit, but she can be very blunt at times, hurting feelings without the intention of doing so. Her energy is upon us during this Full Moon.

Happy Birthday Libra Folks…

We wish you a year ahead filled with love, laughter, prosperity and good health…

CHEERS 🥂🍻

September 21  NEW MOON in Virgo. (this months moon falls in the void of course area, the moon is no longer in the sign of Virgo but is shadowing the moon in that sign… the next moon sign is Libra right behind the VOC position. It is possible that this new moon, will show traits of both signs… Virgo and Libra. 

The New Moon is traditionally a good time to begin things, be they projects, jobs, relationships, what ever is new in your life that is begun under a new moon, has a greater chance of success.. Any time from the 21nd to the 23rd should be positive for “new beginnings”. The traits of the Moon in Virgo will be “amplified” under the New Moon… Some of us may experience difficulty in staying asleep, or our sleep is restless…

Aspects:

  • Squares can be challenging, two planets who don’t always get along, friction can develop, a feeling of being challenged by the other… some times we need that challenge to wake us up and get us motivated, great growth is possible, if we are up to the challenge
  • Opposition, challenging like the square, but not all is lost, the planets are at odds with each other, but that doesn’t mean they can’t come to a compromise, although it may take one over the other to back down before anything can move ahead… Take a deep breath, listen to the other view point, and find the middle ground. If that can’t be done, then maybe it’s just not meant to be, acknowledging that will also “set you free”
  • Quincunx are frustrating and may require some adjustments/adjusting, they have nothing in common… We may feel forced, pushed or obligated to perform..  may also relate to health issues. Not a great time, just keep reminding yourself it will all be over soon.
  • Trines are very comfortable aspects, the planets involved are usually of the same element, (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) so they understand each other…trouble happens when comfortable take precedence over doing anything else, this aspect can induce some laziness, great it it’s time for some chilling… if it’s not that time, you may find you have to give yourself a push to get going.
  • Sextiles are planets that are of the same compatible element, (Fire and Air or Earth and Water) they have differences but totally respect each other.. so they are able to work well together.
  • Conjunctions are variable, they can be helpful or not depending on the circumstances and the people involved…

The Moon and Astrology: How it affects our daily life: Transiting Moon/Sign Changes: August 12 to New Moon August 23

Hi guys and gals, we are trying something new for o ur site, the idea has been rolling around in my head for a while now, but like so many of my “fabulous” idea’s, they come and then they go away…

However, this idea resurfaced during this NEW MOON phase, and they do say that, the new moon is the perfect time to begin anything new… So let’s give it a shot:

From the New Moon phase to the Full Moon phase, roughly a two week period, and then from the Full Moon phase to the New Moon phase, I will be posting the moon sign’s for that two week period  with links to past post’s, for explainations of the Moon’s position.

  • Moon in Virgo quincunx Chiron in Aries @406am (ET) @1:06am (PT)
  • Please Click here to see a past post re: “what does it all mean” when the moon is in the sign of Virgo

Aspects:

  • Squares can be challenging, two planets who don’t always get along, friction can develop, a feeling of being challenged by the other… some times we need that challenge to wake us up and get us motivated, great growth is possible, if we are up to the challenge
  • Opposition, challenging like the sqaure, but not all is lost, the planets are at odds with each other, but that doesn’t mean they can’t come to a compromise, although it may take one over the other to back down before anything can move ahead… Take a deep breath, listen to the other view point, and find the middle ground. If that can’t be done, then maybe it’s just not meant to be, aknowledging that will also “set you free”
  • Quincunx are frustrating and may require some adjustments/adjusting, they have nothing in common… We may feel forced, pushed or obligated to perform..  may also relate to health issues. Not a great time, just keep reminding yourself it will all be over soon.
  • Trines are very comfortable aspects, the planets involved are usually of the same element, (Earth, Fire, Water, Air) so they understand each other…trouble happens when comfortable take precedence over doing anything else, this aspect can induce some laziness, great it it’s time for some chilling… if it’s not that time, you may find you have to give yourself a push to get going.
  • Sextiles are planets that are of the same compatible element, (Fire and Air or Earth and Water) they have differences but totally respect each other.. so they are able to work well together.
  • Conjunctions are variable, they can be helpful or not depending on the circumstances and the people involved…
