Your Weekend Stars

Moon in Gemini

Mercury is now retrograde.

If you’re a Mercury type, you’ve probably been feeling it for the past week, as not only was Mercury slowing and preparing to turn retrograde, but was also in Pisces and sidling up close to Neptune.

Today, though, with the Moon in Gemini, you’re likely to really feel it- even if you’re the type who approaches Mercury retrogrades with a bit of a “whatever” attitude.

Why? Because Mercury rules Gemini, and when the Moon is in Gemini, all sorts of social interactions and methods of communication are heightened.

Now, before you all run screaming to bolt the door, this isn’t necessarily all bad. There is some fun to be had.

Sure, to make sure that your message isn’t garbled, you’ll have to be careful with what you say, but there’s also opportunities here to pay a little close attention to your dreams, thoughts, fantasies, and everything else that lives deep inside that most imaginative part of you.

Let yourself go with that a little, notice what it feels like, write it down, play with it a little, talk to someone about it, visualise it, pop it into a piece of art, but don’t take any of it (or yourself) too seriously.

Remember, Mercury retrograde is not the best time to be making binding decisions or wholesale changes. Instead, use your re words- refine, review, recalibrate, revisit, reacquaint…anything else could lead to remorse and regret…and we’re so not going there!

With the Moon in Gemini all weekend, enjoy the social interaction and the general busyness. If you do happen to get your wires crossed, so to speak, try to laugh it off…if that’s not possible, look for distraction- under the Gemini Moon, there’s usually plenty of that around.
