When the Moon is in Gemini

The Moon spends about two and a half days in Gemini each month. The mood people tend to notice: talkative and restless. Messages fly, plans change twice, and that's fine. Where is the Moon today?

Western Gemini and Vedic Mithuna

Western astrology measures signs from the seasons (the tropical zodiac); Vedic astrology measures them from the stars (the sidereal zodiac). The two are about 24° apart now, which is why the Sun is in Gemini from 21 May – 20 Jun but in Mithuna from about 15 Jun – 16 Jul. Your Moon sign can differ between the two systems for the same reason. Find yours in both.
