Moon Transit in Gemini

Gemini belongs to Mercury, and the Moon counts Mercury a friend. The friendship runs one way, since Budha counts Chandra an enemy.

The stay lasts about two to three days. The mind grows quick and talkative here.

Gemini governs the arms, the hands, speech and short travel. The Moon in this sign scatters attention across many small things. Messages, errands and conversation fill the two days. Sleep breaks more easily than usual.

The nakshatras are Mrigashira, Ardra and Punarvasu. Mrigashira, under Mars, opens with restlessness and search. Ardra, under Rahu, is the least settled stretch of this passage and suits difficult, technical work. Punarvasu, under Jupiter, closes by restoring calm.

Gochara counts the Moon well in the first, third, sixth, seventh, tenth and eleventh from the natal Moon. Gemini, Aries, Capricorn, Sagittarius, Virgo and Leo Moons receive it in those houses. Scorpio Moons meet Chandrashtama and do well to slow down. Cancer Moons carry it in the twelfth, where expense and travel both rise.

Two days of a Gemini Moon show a person how their attention behaves when nothing holds it. The scatter is the mind's own habit surfacing. Choosing one task and staying with it for an hour steadies more than any remedy. Write down what needs remembering.

• Handle correspondence and small errands during these two days.
• Keep one period of silence each day of the passage.
• Avoid signing anything of weight during Ardra.
