The Moon in Gemini sextile Jupiter in Aries at 12:37 AM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

The Moon in Gemini conjunct Mars in Gemini at 2:47 PM EST. Lunar aspects have an 'orb of influence' of 12 to 14 hours 'before' and 'after' their exactness.

Oh boy! The Moon is in Gemini today as it sextiles and e-x-p-a-n-d-s itself with Jupiter and aggressively conjuncts (ties itself to) Mars. Wow Wee! Hot dog! And let's move some energy.

Interestingly enough, I felt compelled to head over to my proton email account, which was piling up in emails. That's really my EXPANDED email because its posted here on this website on the 'contact me' button, which causes spambots and cold call sales people to hit that email a lot.

Needless to say, but I'll say it anyway, emails on my proton account pile-up fast, which takes me a bit to sift through and find the real emails I need to answer. So I already kicked off the day in a Moon sextile Jupiter state of mind.

Keep in mind the Moon rules our emotions, feelings, moods and sensitivities, so you will likely find yourself trying to get the word out, answer words that have been sent (emails, texts) and probably even organizing or straightening out your days. Gemini energy moves jackrabbit fast and moves with the wind, even when Mercury is Retrograde (Rx), which is Gemini's ruling planet.

Since we are in Mercury Rx, I hope it is going well for you, as Mercury Rx in Capricorn had been posted for you all year long. It's not like it should have been a surprise to you, which means you should have been prepared.

How do you prepare for Mercury Rx? Well, for myself, since I knew that at the tailend of the year I have to prepare for the next year and get all of the calendars completed, along with links and pages, and headers and Astro Memes, I did all of that back in October 2022. Oh ho ho . . . there is always a method to my madness. I was NOT going to be caught at the end of the year with my pants down.

So when you see these calendars ahead, or you see aspects ahead in the Monthly Astro Memes, or if you see any of the New Moons or Full Moons . . all of those Astro Memes are at the bottom of the home page, you should be ready, not waiting. You get ready, you do not wait and not be ready. That's jacked-up thinking.

Interestingly enough, for this Gemini (me), my emotions were e-x-p-a-n-d-e-d this morning as I remember my Mama Bear, full-blood EBCI (Eastern Band Cherokee Indian) from Cherokee, North Carolina, just over the mountain from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, which makes me 1/2 EBCI as my Poppy Seed is a white man.

As I was making a post on FB, a tribute to my Mama Bear, I just fell into a fit of emotion. Thanks Moon sextile Jupiter. (winky wink). I'm putting that post below for those of you who are not on Fakebook. My personal FB page link is here! Or see post below in red font.

The Gemini Moon will then conjunct Mars and intensify the energy of the two (2) planets involved - the Moon and Mars. This makes communication, possibly even travel a bit harsh, competitive, argumentative and hard-headed. We are talking Aries energy here (Mars) influencing Gemini, which rules communication and travel. Planes, trains, automobiles, postal service, etc.

If you already know that the energy will be difficult, then prep for it and do not allow yourself to be surprised or engaged by raucous behavior, yours or anyone else.

If you missed yesterday's massive write-up, click back a day and play catch-up. It's worth it.

It's hard to believe it's been two (2) years. Right? For those we Love who have moved on, I know you get it.

Dang, Mama Bear and I had some Good times. For so many years I spent a lot of time with her.

Mama Bear use to run all my errands when I had the clinic, so she was there every single day. Then when I closed my practice and decided to write, speak, travel .. she would come by the house about 3x a week.

I use to do colonics in my clinic ... so I taught Mama Bear and we would give each other a colonic. TMI? She got a kick out of it.

Mama Bear took CPR at my clinic (twice) ... we took Reiki together and became a Reiki Master, we took Aromatherapy together, and she hit the road with me every single week on Thursdays to visit my astrologer in Nashville. (May God rest his soul). We spent the night and headed back at 5:00 AM so I could start seeing patients again at 10:00 AM. It was a crazy Life with her and she was always ready to go.

When I started traveling, she went on all the trips with me. Plane or Car, there she was beside me. I have stayed in more hotels with Mama Bear than anyone else.

She listened to all my taped radio shows while we were in the car, so she says, but I know she really fell asleep.

What I miss most is her saying, "Shut up Loretta!" or "Damn it Loretta!"

When she was asleep I would sneak in, wrap my arms around her sliding my hands underneath her back, lay my chest on top of hers, and then bounce her up and down really fast.

"DAMN IT LORETTA!" she would say.

Mama Bear liked to be awake, even if she couldn't stay awake, she pretended to be awake. She didn't want to miss anything.

I spent a lot of alone time with Mama Bear for so long. One of our craziest trips was to D.C., I'll never forget it. It brought back so many memories for her, that I was able to relive with her. Mama Bear and Poppy Seed were stationed in the D.C., area in the U.S. Army where they met and married. **See tiny army pic embedded in bottom right of pic.

They married when it was still against the law for inter-racial marriages. They were rebels and married anyway. They were married 6 months before 'The Lovings' in the case 'Loving vs. VA'. You may have seen the movie. 'The Lovings' were caught and went to prison for a year. Look up - 'anti-miscegenation law in U.S.' Or look up .... Loving vs. VA.

In 1967 the Supreme Court overturned the law and their marriage became 'legit' in the eyes of the law and were grand-fathered in and me and my siblings became 'legit' children in the eyes of the law.

Mama Bear ... she was a rebellious mama. She sure was! Feisty as the day is long.

"Damn it Loretta!" "Shut up Loretta!" It was always so funny and that's what I miss the most.

Mama Bear and I talked a lot about God, spirituality and what it might be like on the other side. She told me when she was a little girl she use to go out in the yard and stand there, looking up and wait for it to happen. When Jesus would come back and take her. It was a longing she had. And she wasn't afraid to pass.

We would watch YouTube videos about the other side, those who lived to tell about it (NDE's near death experiences) ... and she liked to listen to Bluegrass and Mountain music on YouTube, and she really liked to listen to 'The Pressley Girls' on YouTube singing, "I'll Fly Away".

Mama Bear could sing, and had a sweetness to her song voice. I can hear her singing now with 'The Pressley Girls'. I'll put that song in the comments, along with a couple of others.

The song that reminds me of Mama Bear and Poppy Seed is by Bonnie Raitt that fits their rebel marriage. "Something To Talk About". And then there is the song my brother and I would sing to her, that she thought was so silly, by the Scissor Sisters - 'Take Your Mama Out".

Such great times and memories. It's important that we talk about those we Love who passed. That's how you keep memories alive.
