First Quarter Moon in Gemini ☽ Mar 6, 2025

The dreamy Pisces Sun squares the intellectual 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 launches us with unprecedented speed into the next lunar cycle. Everything unfolds quickly here. This is the essence of mutable energy. The Quarter Moon in Gemini is light, bright, future-forward, and highly productive. And great news: the moon forms a harmonious conjunction with jolly giant Jupiter in Gemini. This is highly favorable for travel but really any kind of connective or expansive activity. I see new friends, new projects, and new destinations in motion.

But heads up: this will be the first moon phase with Venus Retrograde raging. Pisces Season is challenging even without Venus (& soon Mercury also) Retrograde. Reality drifts soft and amorphous, dispersed at the lightest touch.

Gemini arrives energetic & alive, so different from sleepy Pisces. The twins run like electricity from brain to fingertips. Gemini is excitable, eager to connect. However, when he teams up with Pisces, we are more prone to fantasy and avoidant behavior. These two archetypes are certainly not known for being direct. There is a deep discomfort here, an anxiety which makes assertiveness nearly impossible.

How to overcome this inner obstacle? Gemini is the constellation of friendship & communication. This is an excellent time to share with friends and loved ones. We will need the support as quarter moons tend to stir up conflict or, at the very least, questions which prompt us to reach out and ask for help. Going for a walk with a friend is this moon’s prescription.

This moon phase is so stimulating for the nervous system that insomnia is likely. Also a good idea to boost your immune system – Pisces moon phases are draining.

In meditation, focus on the throat chakra. Power colors are turquoise and silver. Settle your mind with Gemini Yoga. To find your personal moon sign, click here.
