Astrology of the Day – Moon in Gemini – Friday 23rd February 2018

Moon square Neptune and Mercury - Bemusement

The Moon starts off in the last degree of Taurus today but just a few minutes into the day it moves over into sign of Gemini. It will be here for the rest of the day through it we will be flexible, we will be able to multi-task, able to carry out several priorities at the same time without too many problems. The Moon in Gemini is much more logical than emotional, so we will be able to rationalise situations rather than feel them with the Moon in this sign, and you will need to keep your mind busy, as not doing so will make you fidget and irritable to others.

The Moon a few hours into the day makes a a square to the Sun now in Pisces. This opening square since the New Moon solar eclipse could cause a lot of irritation and upset, with our emotions on edge being frustrated and confounded or confused by the Piscean energy of the Sun. Some of the information we are relying on may be mixed up, or not as clear as we would wish, and this may cause frustration within us.

The Moon moves on to make a difficult looking inconjunct aspect to Saturn, and we may have to change direction or adjust what we were planning to do because someone important or senior to us is putting us under pressure, criticising our actions, or what we are saying. There seems to be an emphasis on communications, and the Moon goes on to make a square to Mercury. Mercury is the planet ruling what we say, write and read and there could be disagreement or emotional consternation over a message sent, words uttered, or things agreed. Mercury is Pisces sends out very unclear signals, and the decisions made today could be a fudge to satisfy everyone, or there could be a misleading information hiding the actual truth of a situation. Frustration could rise in the face of a less than satisfactory outcome to things.

This day of confusion and clouded signals will be capped off by a square between the Moon and Neptune. This is a difficult and sacrificial connection that could lead to emotional misdirection, lies and deceit. We may be fed a diet of “everything being fine” but the truth may conceal a multitude of sins that are being concocted behind the scenes. In truth you should take everything said or relayed to you through others with a very large pinch of salt, as what appears to be true may just be sent out to mislead you.
