Gemini Moon Reflections
My lunar return thoughts from March
I am really starting to notice and feel my natal moon energy with each lunar return. The ups and downs of mental overload, the chattiness and the need to soak up as much information as I can is so Gemini! This past month though, I think I was more over-stimulated than curious. Mental gymnastics can be exhausting.
A love letter to my Gemini Moon:
This quote sums up it pretty well. I think that expresses what March looked like for me. But I have learned to love my overactive mind because I do get some great ideas when I put the effort not to overthink. So my love note and reminder for this next month is don’t overthink it.
What was I hyper-focusing on in March?
I didn’t spend a lot of time digital journaling (love my ADHD struggle) as much as I wanted to but my hyper focus this past month was studying planetary aspects and transits in relation to my birth chart. Listening to workshops on the Astro School I am part of and reading Aspects in Astrology by Sue Tompkins. It has been eye opening all the aha moments I have had in relation to understanding the patterns alongside matching those with my past and current experiences and challenges. I also found some great joy learning how special my Mercury in Leo at zero degrees is.
What I learned about my Moon this past month:
Learning more about how our moon represents the relationship we had with our mother and how we were nurtured really stood out to me when reviewing my Moon Square Mars aspect I have in my birth chart. Wow! I was definitely a rebel with a cause like James Dean who also has this aspect. I certainly pushed the limit and had an argument for everything and for sure put my mom through it as a teenager. I acted quickly and impulsively based on my emotions and did not practice holding my tongue. But today as I learn more about this aspect and how much I have grown, I am pretty satisfied to know that with this aspect there is a super power of diplomacy that could be confusing to some. I can balance my emotions when upset and turn into humor, and even hold my temper and be polite in uncomfortable situations. I don’t get easily offended as I did when I was younger, and I am much better at communicating my needs. When I was younger it was hard to not feel heard, and instead of processing those emotions to communicate them or what I needed, I acted out and was on the defense. I also am better with finding healthy outlets to channel those emotions.
A piece of Joy:
I attended a workshop on the zero degree Leo that I have in Mercury. It is in my 5th house of creativity and wow this is where I will be spending more time to work with. The creative spirit (which I have downplayed I don’t have) is really where some gifts are. So I plan to use this magic in my writing with some pieces I have in the works. Having this aspect teaches me that my creativity is unique and helps with owning my confidence. It makes sense why I feel so alive during Leo season and I can’t wait to see how it plays out when Mercury moves into Leo later this year.
Gemini and Siblings: I find it quite synchronistic that each time the moon is my sign of Gemini I am either thinking of my siblings, the sibling group chat lights up, or I get the urge to call my sister or brother. And like clockwork, today I had a chat with my youngest sister. Gemini in my third house is home to relationships with my siblings and I feel more drawn to them during Gemini season and when the moon visits each month. I am the oldest sibling and am known to be the most social one, the mediator and the go to for all solutions to problems, lol. When Jupiter entered Gemini last year my siblings and I planned our first family cruise to celebrate my dad’s birthday and we had a blast. So seeing Gemini play out in my family life is even more beautiful.
I have found acceptance in my overactive mind and ideas with my Gemini Moon and I love each twist and turn into the collection of data I absorb. My love for the moon continues and she truly helps me nurture my emotional needs, and challenges me to think and feel. It doesn’t matter if she is shining bright and full or when she is dark and waning, she is always there for the support I need.
