Happy Gemini Season mis amores! Next up: the whirlwind Gemini sun squares the waxing moon in Virgo. This is already the last moon phase of Gemini Season 2024!
~ moonrise at noon, peak at dusk, moonset at midnight in all time zones ~
At the first quarter moon, we decide what to carry forward from the new moon. First quarter phases clarify. This moon phase follows the New Moon in Gemini on June 6. The square formation ensures that some natural breaking point is reached. The crux of this one revolves around health and wellbeing.
Gemini & Virgo are co-ruled by Mercury. Double-Mercury energy means this will be a busy day. Think end-of-the-school-year vibes, on-the-verge-of-summer vibez, everyone restless, yearning to break free.
When Gemini and Virgo fuse, we must pay attention to the body, mind, and body-mind connection. The purpose of this quarter moon is alignment of thoughts/intentions (Gemini) and daily reality (Virgo). This requires some serious courage, especially if our current situation is painful.
We’re trying to let go of something, but it’s not as straightforward as it seems; we’ve got one foot in two worlds, waking and dreaming, here and there.
Squares like this one suggest tension or disagreement. Virgo craves routine and consistency; Gemini craves the freedom to change everything whenever, wherever. Mercurial moon phases teach us to first move the body to release pent-up energy before making major decisions. This first step is important. It is a portal to healthy detachment, the most potent tonic that Gemini-Virgo offer.
We are careening through space faster than ever. Change unfolds in hyperdrive. We don’t need to do anything to alter or expedite the process. This is simply a time to be alert, listening attentively to body and mind.
Heads up: this moon phase forms a tight square to not just the sun, but also Mercury at home in Gemini. This suggests stress and strain in body & mind. Try Virgo Yoga. Good luck starseeds, love you so much. To find your personal moon sign, click here.
Thank you so much for your posts! I’ve been reading your posts since the full moon in Aquarius season. Thank you for helping me understand how the moon and planets play a role in both the collective and my own path!
As a gemini rising, i’ve recently felt the urge to align my routines, especially in what I eat & when I eat that’s best for my vessel. Knowing that the 1st quarter moon is in virgo helps me follow virgo’s guide to organization and alignment!
Best Wishes,
