THE MOON IS IN TAURUS TODAY! Keywords: money, practical, stability, music, possessions, self-worth, morals, values, romance, slow to decide

The Moon in Taurus is trine (easy and effortless energy) your 9th house of the higher-thinking mind, religion, college, higher education, legalities, brothers and sisters-in-law, philosophy, prophecy, philanthropy, all things "foreign", intuition, long distance journeys abroad, churches, airlines, vacations, international commerce, dreams, visions and teachers.

Today begins with the Taurus Moon Void of Course at 6:26 AM EDT and finally settling in Gemini at 6:04 PM EDT. That's a full 12 hours of unscheduled, detoured and delayed circumstances as this lunar energy makes its way from slow and meandering Taurus energy into here-there-any-everywhere Gemini energy. This is quite a shift that may be very welcomed at this point. At exactly 12:14 PM EDT the Moon will actually enter Gemini but it will not settle down and get comfey until it reaches 03 degrees Gemini at 6:04 PM EDT. As I describe in the 3rd paragraph on the Main Void of Course Moon page, this is very similar to what the energy is like when you move from one residence (house) to another. The Moon is not only shifting signs, but it is shifting houses and this occurs every 2 to 2-1/2 days without fail. You should be in those final thoughts of self-worth that I wrote about yesterday and figuring out of how you can shift that energy. Maybe you have been meandering around thinking about a lot of things through over the past two days and now with the Moon in Gemini, you are ready to take off and make things happen for yourself.

Interestingly enough, Mercury the natural ruling planet of Gemini turns Retrograde today until November 10, 2013. Mercury, which rules communication in all forms including our mental abilities, paperwork, machines and the gadgets that we use to communicate. Mercury Retrograde is always a great time to take care of old business, especially while we are still in the two week period following the Full Moon in Aries that just occurred on Friday, October 18, 2013. Think in terms of 'wrapping up old projects with a nice little bow' during this time. Retrograde planets always serve as wonderful do-overs for us as well, so that we can re-do or complete that which we had already started. In other words, all of those half done or nearly done projects need to be wrapped up now. These Retrograde do-overs give us a chance to get things right before we progress forward. So if you can think about what area of your Life you would like to move forward in, then this is a great time to clean up and clear out that area of your Life. Better yet, for all Virgo's on the planet, this will impact your 3rd house mental abilities, communication, body language and transportation and it will especially impact your personal Natal Chart in the area that is ruled by Scorpio because Mercury happens to be in the sign of Scorpio. If you are on Facebook, then you may have seen that Facebook had a huge issue right out of the Mercury Retrograde gate this morning because a bazillion people including yours truly could not log in. It was all over the Twitter feed as well.

During Mercury Retrograde you may be dealing with comunication and transportation issues. Either way, there is a backward motion going on here where you have to retrace your steps and fix something that needs your attention. This may feel like a setback but it is actually calling for you to improve upon this area of your Life before you progress forward. Mercury Retrograde doesn't really last all that long but the effects can certainly feel like it especially if you attempt to be difficult. Virgo and Gemini are naturally ruled by Mercury, so you may feel this much more than the other signs. The only exception I can think of is that if you were born during Mercury Retrograde you may not feel it as harshly as others because it is something that you live with every single day. This 3rd house of communication is calling for you to retrace your steps with regard to your style of communication before it confronts you. During Mercury Retrograde, all the more reason for both Virgo and Gemini to be on their game. You will need to monitor your speech, writing, e-mail, texts and social media postings so that you do not end up communicating something that is taken completely out of context. Get your activities of daily living back on track with an organized schedule that will work for you. Delays right now are not such a bad thing, it may only seem that way.
