Gemini Is Here to Lighten Up Your Mood

The day may start off a bit bumpy, with the moon squaring off with Mercury, setting up a bit of a battle between our heads and our hearts. Luckily, later this afternoon, some seriously playful Gemini energy will lighten things up a bit, leading into an evening of clarity and, hopefully, meaningful conversations.

The Moon Is Square Mercury at 5:27 AM

Early this morning, the moon in Gemini formed a square with Mercury in Pisces. This transit is setting up a bit of a standoff between our emotions and our thoughts.

This could lead to some possible conflict and irritability. While you’re hashing things out in your own head, be careful not to push your opinions or criticism onto others. Your emotions are swaying your thoughts too much, and you could end up doing permanent harm to a relationship if you insist on a debate.

Instead, channel that energy in a more productive way. Maybe some time spent on intensive organizing could be beneficial? You’re in the perfect frame of mind to do some deep cleaning and of your physical space.

The Moon Is Conjunct Mars at 2:25 PM

This afternoon, the moon in playful Gemini will form a conjunction with Mars in, guess who? Playful Gemini. Double the Gemini, double the fun. It should be no surprise that this placement can bring about some serious impulsiveness. It can also instill a zest for life and an energy that’s infectious to everyone around you.

We may be wearing our hearts on our sleeves today, and the healthiest thing we can do is clear the air when a strong emotion comes up. Though you might not be able to hold those emotions in even if you tried.

Today, you might be feeling bold and brave, and wanting to take quick and decisive action. There’s also the chance of some irritability if people don’t get behind your plans. You should communicate what you need, but try to channel that into a physical activity instead of blowing up at your loved ones.

The Moon Is Trine Saturn at 4:46 PM

A bit later this afternoon, the moon in Gemini forms a trine with Saturn in Aquarius. This placement brings about the ability to articulate your thoughts clearly (and also a bit of emotional detachment) to allow you to handle sensitive or difficult relationship issues. It also brings on strong instincts of common sense, allowing you to make important decisions about home, family, and relationships.

This is an incredibly stabilizing transit and generally puts us into a very reserved and pragmatic state of mind.
