The dreamy Pisces Sun squares the zippy 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. Gemini is light, bright, future-forward, and highly productive as well.

Pisces Season is undeniably challenging. Reality drifts abstractly, swirling and swelling; soft and amorphous, dispersed at the lightest touch.

Gemini is energetic & active, unlike sleepy cousin Pisces. The twins give us a scintillating feeling, electricity running from brain to fingertips. Gemini is excitable, eager to connect. However, when he teams up with Pisces, it can be difficult to resist the urge to fantasize or otherwise escape. These two archetypes are certainly not known for being direct. There is a deep discomfort here, a brand of bypassing which ultimately begets disappointment.

Gemini is the constellation of friendship & communication. This is an excellent time to meet/talk 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.

This moon phase is so stimulating that insomnia is likely. Furthermore the moon forms a very tight square to Neptune in (and ruler of) Pisces, increasing the likelihood for insomnia, as well as illness. Boost your immune system and stay active if you can. Going out for a walk with a friend is perfect.

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.
