First Quarter Moon in Gemini🌓
We have a First Quarter Moon in Gemini coming up on Wednesday night/Thursday early morning. It happens precisely on March 10th at 2:47 am PT. Gemini is the sign of communication and thinking. She is the sign of quick witted intelligence and thinking through every scenario. She comes to us during Pisces Season, where we have been called to look to our intuition. In last week’s Blog Post, during the Pisces New Moon, we looked at our charts to discover the areas of our life where we most easily access our intuition and where we were the most supported during Pisces Season. We set New Moon Intentions deeply rooted in guidance from our intuition. And now Gemini comes in, saying not so fast. Gemini asks us, are you sure? Have you analyzed all the details of that Intention? Maybe there is something better out there? You should probably do some research. This is the kind of energy you can expect on this First Quarter Moon.
The Quarter Moons are an ideal time to check in with ourselves and see how we're doing towards any Moon Intentions/Releases that we've set. They are always set about a week after the New and Full Moon and energetically, always present us with some sort of challenge, or perhaps a new perspective. So, if you set a New Moon Intention during the Pisces New Moon, go back to it now. Ask yourself if you've made progress towards it. Don’t be surprised if that Gemini energy is questioning everything. Use her energy as a time to gain a new perspective about your intention. Although these Quarter Moons can feel challenging, they are here to support us and guide us to our highest outcome.
Additionally, the Moon will be Trining Saturn in Aquarius, giving us a sort of effortless and unique wisdom in forward thinking ideas. It truly is a great day to see if you can add some dimension to any Intentions or goals you've set for yourself. Take some time to ponder these ideas. Allow yourself the space to volley ideas back and forth. But at the end of the day, come back to the wisdom you know to be true in your gut and continue moving towards it.
Ask yourself the following questions to help you gain perspective on this day. I always recommend journaling as it helps us to process our ideas and also document them, but just allowing yourself to think these things through or chatting with a friend can be very impactful. Especially given that it's a Gemini Moon, talking out loud about these things may be what you feel called to do.
What new ideas have come to me lately that I need to hash out?
How am I feeling about any Intentions or goals that I've set? Am I overthinking things or is there an opportunity to refine my ideas?
Who in my life can I talk through these ideas with? (Grab a phone and call them…or maybe write them a letter telling them about everything going on)
