The mutable Gemini moon is close to full now. Gemini is the curious, spontaneous, flighty, imaginative, social, communicative air sign of the Twins. Often, the part of your chart that holds Gemini energy is full of doubles or duality. It is ruled by the planet Mercury, and today, the emotional Gemini moon is scattered by an opposition of the moon to Mercury - Gemini's ruler - in the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius. Have you ever held a sparkler as it quickly burns out? The sparks flicker in every direction. You may find your emotions and thoughts doing the same today. Some of those sparks may be worth catching and fanning into a bigger flame, but not all. Carry a paper and pen with you to take notes on the keepers or to write down the names and numbers of new contacts you may make in your travels now. Travel and communication may be affected by the Mercury retrograde now. Double check everything and expect interruption or being side tracked. The Gemini moon also forms a quincunx to Pluto in Capricorn. Pluto always intensifies the effect of a planet it aspects, so emotions may be extremely scattered or child like today. Pluto, itself, is patriarchal in the sign of Capricorn, so you may resent the restriction of authority or rules when you try to do something the easy way or take shortcuts. Allow yourself enough time for distractions and diversions and be patient with other people.
