The cosmic weather is quiet until late in the morning, when the Gemini moon squares off with Mercury in Virgo, a tense influence! Gemini and Virgo are both mental Mercury-ruled signs, but planets in these signs go about developing strategies in very different ways. The Gemini moon encourages us to follow our curiosity, to compile intel, and get as many different perspectives as possible to solve a problem. Breath and brevity provide emotional security and safety. However, Mercury in Virgo wants to organize that data. It demands that we sift through what we’ve collected and make sense of it. This back and forth can be stress-inducing, as we don’t believe we have enough information to conclude the facts. In lieu of truths, biases take over, causing us to become argumentative with those who question our knowledge. Be mindful that any fights that arise now are reflective of our inner monologue.
In the late afternoon, the moon sextiles the Leo sun, helping to mitigate lingering tensions. Perhaps arguments have been abandoned. If not, the moon-sun sextile gives us an excuse to “agree to disagree.” Instead, lean into activities that restore your confidence. Spend time with people who support your goals and cheer your curiosity. Know that it’s okay not to have all the answers—nobody else does either!
