Natural Chart / Whole Houses 

Note: Last year, I didn't really cover the transits of the moon other than it's relationship to other planets and positions in the form of aspects. This year, I will be covering the Moon's journey through the zodiac at the rate of one sign per month in the natural order. 

Moon in Gemini (General) 

The Moon makes a full circuit through the zodiac once every 28 1/2 days spending about 2.5 days in each sign. It's mantra is I FEEL and some keywords associated with it include, but are not limited to, childhood, cycles, emotions, feelings, habits, home, change, instincts, mother, passive, subconscious. nurturing, and imagination. The Moon rules Cancer, is Exalted in Taurus, in fall in Scorpio, and Detriment in Capricorn (see essential dignity).

Gemini's mantra is I COMMUNICATE (it's ruler is Mercury) so when the Moon is in Gemini you feel more comfortable expressing your emotions and feelings. It's easier for you to open up to other people and get things off your chest of an emotional nature. The downside is you can be more vulnerable to criticism or hurtful words. During the short time that the Moon is transiting Gemini you may also find that you are busier than you normally are or that you get bored more easily if you have nothing to do. This is a good time to harness that energy to finish old projects or get involved in your community in some way. 

The house where Gemini falls in your chart is the area of life that you will feel more comfortable talking about. 

• If your rising sign is Aries, Gemini is your 3rd House. 
• If your rising sign is Taurus, Gemini is your 2nd House. 
• If your rising sign is Gemini, Gemini is your 1st House.

• If your rising sign is Libra, Gemini is your 9th House. 
• If your rising sign is Scorpio, Gemini is your 8th House. 
• If your rising sign is Sagittarius, Gemini is your 7th House. 
• If your rising sign is Capricorn, Gemini is your 6th House.

Example

Moon + Gemini + 8th House 

I feel + I communicate + sex, death, birth, transformation, shared resources, and spirituality. 

When the Moon is in Gemini and the 8th House you're emotional about shared resources like debt and other bills. You waver between keeping your fears to yourself and wanting to talk to someone about them.  You can be more possessive of the things that you have fearing that you might lose them or you can become jealous of the things that other people have. 

Aspects 

Aspects or relationship between planets is another dimension of astrological interpretation that should be considered. In this instance we look at any aspects forming between the Transit Moon and planets in the Natal Chart. Let us say that you have Jupiter in 2° Aquarius in your natal Chart, that would mean that the Transit Moon is making a applying a Trine to Natal Jupiter. A trine is a type of aspect in which the energy of one planet is supportive of the energy or urge of another planet. 

Moon + Trine + Jupiter 

I feel supports I expand 

When the Moon forms a trine to Jupiter your mood is more pleasant, optimistic and cheerful. Domestic matters and relationships (especially with women) go smoother. You feel luckier which leads to you being more generous. 

Ruler of the House 

The Ruler of the House is another aspect that should be examined. The Moon rules Cancer so the house which Cancer occupies in your Natal Chart is the area of life that will be impacted by the ingress of the Moon in Gemini. To interpret the Moon as a house ruler you have to ask yourself two questions. They are:

1. What House does Cancer (Ruled by the Moon) occupy in my Natal Chart?
2. What House does Gemini (Moon transiting Gemini) occupy in my Natal Chart? 

Let us suppose that Cancer is your 9th House which would make Gemini your 8th House. Then you would say that the Ruler of the 9th House (Cancer) is in the 8th House (Gemini). What this means is that the ruler of the 9th House This can be expressed as the activities of the 9th house service the urge and activities of the 8th house. This can be expressed as higher education, travel and meeting different people serve passion, intensity, sex and shared resources. 

When can then extrapolate on this statement and say something like "You use higher education to help you find your passion. Travel to foreign places allow you to explore the forbidden or unspoken. You use sex to search for meaningful life experiences. This may lead you to explore the sexual practices of other cultures of belief systems (tantric sex for example). You explore the link between sexuality and spirituality. "

How will the ingress of the Moon into Gemini manifest for you?
