JANUARY 8 - 10: VOID OF COURSE MOON - GEMINI MOON - CHALLENGING DAYS

MOON IS VOID OF COURSE ALL DAY on Sunday February 8 until 5:06pm EST when MOON ENTERS GEMINI. MOON remains in GEMINI until Tuesday January 10 at 4:38pm. LAST ASPECT OF MOON: Moon Opposite Mercury in Sagittarius. VOID OF COURSE MOON - MEETS MERCURY STATIONS DIRECT - MEETS MOON IN GEMINI OPPOSED BY ITS PLANETARY RULER. WOW.
We have three forces constellating at this time to challenge our game. You know by now the cautions for Void of Course Moon: Stay in the creative, in-between numinous place of dreams, Art and imagination. Logic and practical actions don't tend to work out. It's a better time for planning - as in imagining - future actions now. Don't expect to accomplish much on Sunday. Have a play-day!

When a planet's sign - in this case Moon in Gemini - is opposed by its natural Planetary Ruler - the planet Mercury rules Gemini - the optimum expression of its Archetypal description is likely to be undermined. So, in this case, Moon in Gemini's natural capacities for Intelligence, Communication and Travel - identifying and expressing feelings rationally, being adaptable, versatile, being on the move and multi-task oriented - are often not available to us. Instead, at this time we are likely to speak or act without thinking, fall victim to gossip, become overly critical and act impulsively. What's most important is to slow down and gain control over your communications. Try not to allow Reason to overpower your Emotions and vice versa. 
It's all about Balancing both realms. In other words: think before you speak but try not to let your overactive mind stop you from speaking. And when you do speak, notice if you're all about rationalizing your actions. Have the courage to Speak your True Feelings -  ideally without Blame and only after you've considered the situation thoroughly. Often either the big picture (Sag) is lost to the minutia (Gemini) or we can't see the forest for the trees. Look at the whole scenario. Otherwise, actions initiated during this Moon period are likely to have CHALLENGING results.

All this is heightened now because Mercury Stations and Turns Direct on Sunday, the 8th at 4:43am EST and the three days that follow are the last three days of the most vulnerable time of the entire Mercury Retrograde period. Stay conscious. Up your Reality Check game. Check and double check the accuracy of communications, the viability of vehicles and times/places of schedules. Actions are likely to be delayed or confused in some way. It is advised not to enter into important agreements, sign important documents or make expensive purchases or investments. Be Patient and Wait till the energy releases - generally speaking, around the 11th.

SCENE FOR THE DAY: Stranger Things, 2016; Netflix, Created by the Duffer Brothers. Communications that defy logic yet eventually - after eight episodes and many creative delays - produce the desired result...in addition to great challenges, impulsive action and danger to Gemini youths...would most definitely describe this Netflix series. Ultimately, the characters use their individual and collaborative intelligence balanced with expressed high emotions to finally win the day. In this scene, high-strung Wynona Ryder imaginatively strings high alphabetized Christmas lights for the purpose of communicating with her missing son...it's the Best! A mix of The Goonies, ET and 80's horror flics, this year's captivating sci-fi monster mash is surprisingly endearing.
