FIRST QUARTER MOON GEMINI๐โโ๏ธโโ AND VENUS IN ARIES 2023
At 3:04 AM in the early morning on Monday, February 27, 2023 we will reach the First Quarter Moon in Gemini. Itโs the halfway point between the New and Full Moon and itโs bringing with it a very active week in the lead up to full moonlight.
By Thursday, March 2, you might be swept off your feet, so be prepared this week. Mercury, the communicator, is finishing off its final four days in creative Aquarius. The best time to accumulate as many "lab hours" is Monday through Wednesday because that is when your capacity to think creatively and critically will be at its peak.
Once Mercury enters poetic Pisces later Thursday and stays there until March 19 quicksilver will be more like the sweet tongue that can sell water to a whale. We will all be donning our rose-colored spectacles and feeling all the cozy feels with this shift into the Pisces dream realm. Attractions take on a life of their own during this watery seasonโs flow.
Another powerful transit is occurring this March 2, which has the potential to increase passion close to Thursday as well. Romantic Venus and unlimited Jupiter unite in passionate fire sign Aries for the first time in more than a decade. Regardless of how deep your love is, how expansive are those emotions? What would it take to make them even bigger still?
The rest of this blog will focus on what to do to apply the Lunar Wisdom of the First Quarter Moon in Gemini as we count down the final days until spring begins!
First Quarter Moon๐Lunar Wisdom Formula
This is a First Quarter Moon in the Mutable/Maven sign of Gemini, The Twinsโ๏ธโ. It carries with it the desire to communicate and take simple daily actions towards our New Moon intentions.
First quarter moons represent 50% illumination and the midway point to full light. The energy of this moon phase indicates taking action. During the new moon we gather our thoughts and ideas to set and intention and once we reach for quarter moon it's time to pounce.
First Quarter Moons only happen for 1 day, during the waxing phase of the Lunar cycle, where the moon grows to Full ๐โ. This 24 hour period can become a magical game changer in your manifestation practice. It is also a great fixed point to check in from a Stellar Planning perspective and make adjustments according to how you feel (the moon).
Remember Lunar Cycles are 28-29 days in total. During the first 14 days of the waxing phase ๐โ๐โ๐โ๐โ๐โ its time to plant the seeds of your intentions and fertilize them with effort. This would be considered the Yang or masculine action-oriented portion of the month.
โ
Take advantage of this phase to bring dreams to life and get serious, especially during this time with the Sun in the sign of dreams and the subconscious.
As you allow yourself to imagine and feel into your desires the magic of the moon will help you to manifest your heartโs desire as we head towards the Full Moon๐โ.
What to do this week:โ
โ
๐ Feel into your New Moon intentions so you are comfortable with how they will fit into your life
๐ Map out your action steps for bringing your intentions into your life
๐ Give yourself some mental space to really notice how you are feeling and what you are thinking. This could be through doing a walking meditation or going into nature and just being.
First Quarter Moon In Gemini๐โ๏ธโโโ
The First Quarter Moon in Gemini is a powerful and dynamic time in the lunar cycle. This phase marks a turning point in the lunar journey, as the moon reaches the halfway point between the new moon and the full moon. This is a time of action, growth, and forward momentum, and the influence of Gemini only amplifies this energy.
Gemini is a curious and communicative sign that is known for its quick wit and mental agility. It is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, and is associated with intelligence, adaptability, and versatility. When the First Quarter Moon occurs in Gemini, these traits are heightened, making it an ideal time for creative problem-solving, networking, and exploring new ideas.
At this phase in the lunar cycle, the moon is in a square aspect with the sun. This creates tension and friction, as the forces of light and dark, yin and yang, are at odds with each other. This tension can create a sense of urgency and restlessness, pushing us to take action and make progress towards our goals. This is a time to push past any obstacles or setbacks and keep moving forward with determination and focus.
The First Quarter Moon in Gemini is particularly powerful for communication and social connections. This is a time to reach out to others, make new connections, and network with like-minded individuals. Gemini's ability to adapt and connect with people from all walks of life can be particularly helpful during this phase, allowing us to broaden our horizons and explore new perspectives.
This is also a time to embrace your intellectual curiosity and explore new ideas. Gemini is a sign that loves to learn and gather information, so use this energy to dive into a new topic or expand your knowledge in a particular area. This can be a time of mental growth and expansion, as long as you stay focused and avoid getting overwhelmed by too many ideas or distractions.

Speak Your World Into Being
Think about what you want. Do you really believe you can create it? Do you believe you have what it takes or do you secretly doubt yourself? (Worse, are you quietly preparing for failure? Say it ain't so!) here's the thing: you can't fool the universe. Repeated affirmations that you don't believe are a waste of time. Believe in your magic. If someone has spoken or written unkind words to you, counter them with kind words to yourself. Try it. Speak your world into being. Talk about it as though it's already happening.
Manifesting Mix
Here you are being asked to feel your way through a situation that's partly sacred and partly mundane. Be compassionate and clever.
Manifesting Mindset
Ask your soul to speak to you. Listen to your heart and not your mind. Write lists of your goals
Tune into your manifesting powers
The throat chakra (Vishudha) Is found at the base of the throat and is a beautiful sky blue color. It helps you to express yourself. What words are you speaking to yourself and others?
Imagine yourself in a column of bright and breezy sky blue. Called in the Gemini constellation and say these words as you press this card to the base of your throat:
โEnergies of the First Quarter Moon in Gemini, thank you for helping me to raise my thoughts and so my vibration!โ
When to manifest your magic
The best time to work your magic is when the Moon is in Gemini, or on a Wednesday (Mercuryโs Day) or during Mercury's hour.
The First Quarter Moon in Gemini takes place when the Sun is in Pisces and the Moon is in Gemini. It knows that dreams can come true - and a plan helps.
Venus In Ariesโ๏ธโ 2023
Our Love & Money Goddess has moved signs again on February 20th into the Fire๐ฅโ element - so things are getting hot! Venus in Aries is a placement that brings passion, courage, and a boldness to love and relationships.
Ariesโ๏ธโ is a sign that is known for its assertiveness, independence, and enthusiasm, and when Venus, the planet of love and beauty, is in this sign, it takes on these qualities as well.
Individuals with this placement may be impulsive in matters of the heart, acting quickly and decisively in pursuit of their desires. They may also have a strong need for independence and freedom within relationships, valuing their own individuality and self-expression.
This placement can bring excitement and adventure to love and romance, as well as a willingness to take risks and pursue what one truly desires.
The First Quarter Moon in Gemini is a great time to make plans and set goals. Use this phase to outline your priorities and create a roadmap for achieving your objectives. Stay open-minded and flexible, and be willing to adjust your plans as necessary to ensure success.
Mix this with the new action-oriented energy from Venus in Aries and itโs time to take action and move ahead with new ideas and thoughts. Use this phase and Astro Weather to embrace your intellectual curiosity, make new connections, and set goals that will help you achieve success in all areas of your life.
