Observations: Mercury in Gemini Mishmash

© Diane Lang

Yesterday Mercury entered its home sign of Gemini and my air sign brain went into overdrive. Throw in Mercury’s square to Neptune in Pisces, this morning’s Cancer Moon square Uranus and Jupiter’s need to make one last statement in Aries and it’s busy up there!

Mercury will race through Gemini this time, taking 13 days before entering Cancer on 16 June and starts to gradually slow down before the next Mercury retrograde in early August. It will spend 15 days in Cancer and 28 days in Leo, a marked reduction in speed. Babies born [...]

Scorpio New Moon, November 5-6, 2010

Scorpio is a sign unusually effective at working behind the scenes and setting the stage for presenting the fait accompli. This New Moon at 13° 40″ Scorpio on November 5, 2010, 9:52 PM PDT (November 6, 2010, 12:52 AM EDT) is a very good time to get to work in this manner.

Between this lunation and the Full Moon in Taurus on November 21, three planets will station direct starting with Neptune on November 6 immediately after the New Moon. Venus and Jupiter both go direct on November 18 (a date to circle on your calendar) and as [...]

Ask Our Readers: How About That Mercury-Neptune Square?!

Mercury in Taurus has been square to Neptune in Aquarius three times over the past couple of months: the first time on April 25 just before Mercury went retrograde, then on May 23 during the retrograde period and the final square was yesterday, June 9.

This celestial event totally messed with my sense of time. I literally have not known what day it was more than once! Yesterday I happily dated checks June 8, for instance.

Now Mercury is direct and we may find out over the next week or so if those amazing, brilliant ideas and insights we [...]

Out of Sync and Sorts

Going through one of those phases when I feel very much out of sync with others except for my immediate family, so I decided to take a look at the transits to see what was going on. For starters, whenever the Moon is in Sagittarius, it is in my first house and conjoining my Venus and South Node in Sagittarius. Plus the Sun is currently in my seventh house and just finished hitting my North Node in Gemini and Saturn in Virgo is sitting in my tenth square to both. Yesterday my Gemini step-daughter and Gemini [...]

New Moon in Gemini, May 24, 2009

New Moon in Gemini

Although the New Moon in Mercury-ruled Gemini is always a good time to work on our communication skills, this particular one focuses more attention than usual on the fastest-moving planet.

As of the New Moon, Mercury is still retrograde in Taurus but is less than a week from stationing direct. Those of us who prefer to take our time with the decision-making process are far less likely to be frustrated than the serious multi-tasker who depends on a variety of fancy technological devices to connect with their peers. Keep in mind that slow can be good and far less [...]
