First Quarter Moon in Gemini 6th March 2024 16.31 GMT

At the first quarter Moon the light is illuminating half of the Moon's surface and is the phase where we look to increase our efforts towards our goals and self knowledge. It's time to see where we can increase our work pace and carry out more of the actions we need to do.

This month the first phase is in Gemini, which is a dual sign, meaning both your heart and mind need to be in alignment and working together in partnership for you to be truly happy and fulfilled. Take time to dream, imagine and see what stimulates you and check how you feel about those dreams.

Look for where you may have gaps in your plans; do they suit your personality, needs, desires and skills? This will help you see what you need to do or know to improve your life.

Look at the positive traits of Gemini, are there any on there that need work, or need to be learnt and developed? Look for the skills to work on that will improve your life, work and your mental and emotional well being.

Adaptability

Gemini is a mutable sign, and has the energy of change and adaptability. Look to see if you need to be more flexible and open to new ideas and ways.

Be prepared to have a more open mind towards change, sometimes we can look back at a time that felt dreadful, scary or frightening and realise it was the best thing that could have happened.

Be more open to making changes when needed, rather than hang on to what is not making us happy because of fear of leaving our comfort zone.

Life changes all the time and we need to adapt to these changes not stay fixed in outmoded attitudes and ways of being.

Mental and Emotional Intelligence

Gemini is an Air sign, they are quick learners who like to be challenged intellectually as they have a real need to use their brain, so this is a time to look at stretching your brain and intellect.

Is there something that you really want to learn, like a new language, a skill such as cooking, or a skill needed to improve your job prospects or your business?

Then now is the time to look into starting. Research courses and look for ways to learn.

Read books, watch videos, do puzzles, start a new hobby, learn other ways to think and be, to expand your knowledge and horizons.

Good at Communication and Expressive

Being an Air sign, Gemini is great and communicating with others and if you are having problems with this, now is the time to put some thought and effort into being better at it.

Start small, say hello to your neighbour when passing them in the street, reach out more to family and friends, say yes to more social invitations.

Write letters, start a blog, tell others your hopes and dreams, share your knowledge, paint, make crafts, go to exhibitions and talk to others there, join craft classes and let your creativity flow.

Sociability

Gemini is a chameleon and can fit into many social situations comfortable. One of the ways they achieve this is to be optomistic, curious and intereted in what others have to say. They ask questions and listen to the answers, this helps them start and maintain interesting converations.

This means they are great at networking, so like them get out and join groups where like minded people gather. On or offline you can find people to get to know better.

It's time to find or increase your circle of friends and strengthen the bonds with those you love.

Change Maker

Being open, flexible and willing to learn helps us make the changes we desire or need to improve our lives.

Commit to making the changes needed and to being more in control of your life, building it how you want it to be rather than just reacting to whatever changes come your way.

Your mind is your most powerful ally as it learns from your experiences, remembers the past lessons learnt, is open to new ideas and ways, has a questioning outlook and gives you the tools you need to work out ways to achieve what you want.

It can also be your most powerful enemyif it is ruled by conditioning, closed mindedness and fear. It will obstruct your growth, isolate you and make you ill - either physically or mentally, or maybe both.

This is the dual sided nature of Gemini - choose how you are going to use your mind and whether it will serve or rule you. The choice is yours, it is in your hands to decide whether your mind is your servant or your master and if it is in alignment and harmony with your heart or not.

This is the phase to start working on the inner alignments needed take control of your thinking, be in harmony with your heart and mind and improve your life.
