Tuesday, OCTOBER 3

The Moon moves into Gemini early today–at 1:04 AM EDT–and we’re inclined to play with ideas and make plans. We seek variety and mental engagement–our need for mental stimulation is strong.

While it’s typically a lighthearted transit, Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, forms a trine to Pluto today, increasing our resolve and concentration. There can be an opportunity to gain a mental advantage. Our mental faculties are attuned to otherworldly impressions, offering us increased insight, psychological understanding and awareness, and focused attention. We gravitate to looking for truths and unexplored topics and ideas.

It’s a time to gain a deeper understanding of a matter. We might discover new information that gives us an edge or finally “see” the truth of a matter we’ve been avoiding. It’s a good time to let go of something that has kept us bound to negative elements of the past.

However, with a Venus-Neptune quincunx later today, we might want to see things realistically on the one hand and prefer to nurture a fantasy or look the other way on the other. Under this influence, there can be insecurity or doubts about others or our own feelings and perceptions. Indecision is possible.

The Moon is void until it enters Gemini today at 1:04 AM EDT.
