Over the course of a lunar month, the moon moves through each of the twelve zodiac signs. Every sign has its own energy and symbolism, which influences the moon as she passes through. She spends a few days in each sign, and her light takes on the qualities of that sign. For example, in Aries, the moon is energized by courage and new beginnings. In Taurus, she experiences grounding and comfort. Gemini brings curiosity and communication, while Cancer offers nurturing and emotional depth. Leo inspires creativity, Virgo brings clarity, and Libra encourages balance. Scorpio brings transformation, Sagittarius expands her outlook, Capricorn grounds her ambitions, Aquarius sparks innovation, and Pisces invites spiritual connection. As the moon travels, she collects both positive and challenging experiences, and her character is shaped by these influences.
After about thirty days, the moon reaches Gemini. At this point, she is full and bright, but she also carries the memories and emotions from her journey. She feels the need to let go of what she no longer needs, so she can start fresh.
When the moon arrives at Gemini, she pauses to take in the lively, intellectual energy. Mercury, the god of communication, welcomes her. He greets her warmly and invites her inside. The room is filled with the scent of paper, ink, and herbal tea. Books line the walls, and there are various tools of communication, such as an old telephone, a quill pen, and a computer. Mercury explains that these are all ways to connect and share ideas.
Mercury invites the moon to sit at a table covered with notepads and letters. He offers her a cup of chamomile tea and asks about the burdens she carries. The moon is hesitant at first, but she feels comfortable enough to share her experiences. She talks about the challenges and joys she faced in each zodiac sign, describing both the lessons learned and the emotional weight she has gathered.
Mercury listens carefully, taking notes and occasionally asking questions. He points out that, like a library, it is important to decide what to keep and what to let go. The moon reflects on this and says she wants to release doubts from Virgo, exhaustion from Capricorn, and fears from Scorpio. Mercury suggests that talking about these burdens is the first step to letting them go.
They spend time discussing the moon’s journey. Mercury helps her see that every experience, even the difficult ones, can offer wisdom. He gives practical advice, such as rituals for release and affirmations for renewal. With each conversation, the moon feels lighter and more at ease.
Over the next few days, the moon and Mercury share stories and moments of reflection. The moon finds it easier to express herself and feels supported. On her last morning in Gemini, she thanks Mercury for his guidance. Mercury reminds her that every cycle is a new beginning, and she should only carry forward what is helpful.
Feeling renewed, the moon leaves Gemini’s house. She is ready to let go of her burdens and prepare for the next phase of her journey. Each stage of her cycle is a chance for growth and discovery, showing her resilience and adaptability as she continues her path through the zodiac.
