Just as today became today, at 12:44 am EDT, the Crescent Moon appeared. This semisquare that follows the New Moon is a time of urgency, a need to act.
With a Gemini Moon conjunct Gemini Mars, we may have taken flight today and that would have been perfect.
Sun conjunct Eris feels a real itch to right a wrong and stand up for justice. Gemini Mars and Moon are full of ideas, words, innovations, and things to try.
The Capricorn heavies are still there, but perhaps today they felt more background than foreground.
The conjunction between Venus and Neptune puts the wind of vision under Gemini’s wings. We’re not afraid to sail into the unknown because we know that’s where magic happens.
If that Venus–Neptune meeting itself brought heaviness (which it did for me, trining my natal Scorpio Venus), then soaring with the Gemini Moon–Mars offered a way to rise above, get perspective, and feel lighter.
The Moon will be hitting each sign in turn on this journey from New to Full: New in Aries, Crescent in Gemini, First Quarter in Cancer, Gibbous in Virgo, and Full in Libra. Over the next ten days or so, we’ll travel through this first half of the zodiac with the Moon.
Soaring with Gemini makes for a good beginning.

Somehow, living on the border with Northern Ireland, the unknown and a hard Brexit feels less than magic. I hope you are right!

In your situation, Bee, I’d see the Hard Brexit as that heavy, tough, Capricorn group I noted was there but didn’t really address. Brexit is forcing a confrontation with legacies of the past and will lead to transformation, though the process feels unnecessarily difficult. The ways this will play out at the border are obvious and unclear at the same time. And yet, look at what you are doing this month! Every day, you’re tapping into the Neptune group with is dreams and visions, not always pretty, and transforming it into poetry. If that’s not taking flight, I don’t know what is!
