Timing: The Moon will occupy the sign of Gemini starting on Tuesday October 6th at 5:02am until Thursday October 8th at 4:45pm.
Moon in Gemini: Place of Sectmate - the moon is provided with support as if from a friend. Very heady, intellectually stimulating. Conversation, connection with other people, trying to get a million things done, and glibness are all common features of this period. It can create anxiety and nervous tension, and it is easy to get overwhelmed.
Triplicity and Quadruplicity: Bicorporeal Air. Bicorporeality indicates activities and moods which are a mean between the extremes of tropicality (cardinality) and fixedness, not as erratic and changing as the former, but not as solid and steady as the latter. The air element promotes mental stimulation and any activities which involve communication and language, and air moon tend to be very chatty and conversational, prefer discussion and the medium of language to anything else.
Moon’s ruler: Mercury. The Moon is averse to her ruler Mercury in Scorpio, meaning there is not enough support to make anything long-lasting or meaningful occur during this time. Seeds planted now will not sprout, so don’t bother planting and stay in the present moment instead.
Aspects
Superior bicorporeal Square to Venus in Virgo. This will bring in some help for you from other people on your jouney. Interpersonal dynamics may be strained at first, but ultimately fruitful.
Inferior Sextile to Mars in Aries. Positive energy for productivity, making positive strides. More initiative, more inspiration, and more enthusiasm.
Summary: Between the aversion to her ruler and the lack of easy aspects from benefics, there are not a lot of positive indicators during this period for success, productivity, or long-term plans. However, activities that are held lightly and not taken seriously will take you far. This is a good time to explore, try new things, and go to the bookstore and read a snippets of a few new books without buying any of them. The more you let go of the need to make something happen during this period, the more you will enjoy yourself.
