Wednesday is Mercury's day, and today the Moon enters Gemini, the sign Mercury rules. People will talk a lot, write, call and take on several things at once. Mercury has been retrograde since Saturday, so quick talk easily leads to misunderstandings today. Below, the signs are grouped by element, because fire, earth, air and water feel this Moon differently.

The Sky Today

The Moon shines at 95 percent and is only just beginning to wane, and in Gemini it makes the mind restless and curious. It is a good moment to put information in order: clear your inbox, answer the messages that have been waiting for days, and throw out old notes. Mercury and Venus are retrograde at the same time, so old conversations about money and feelings come back to the table, and it is better to finish them than to start new ones.

Fire Signs

The fire signs get air from the Moon in Gemini, and air fans fire: ideas come quickly and the urge to say them right away is strong. With Mercury retrograde, today's benefit is in the conversation, not in the signature.

♈ Aries

A brother, sister or neighbor will ask you for a favor even before noon. The Moon is in your third house, and today you manage best with short conversations and small walks around town. If you promised to return something you borrowed, do it today. Reply first to the oldest message on your phone, and only then start a new conversation.

♌ Leo

A friend you haven't heard from in a long time may call with an invitation or news. The Moon is in your eleventh house, which brings gatherings with company and shared plans. Retrograde Mercury brings back people from the past, so first listen to what the person wants and then answer. If you are invited to a get-together, write the time and address in your calendar right away.

♐ Sagittarius

Today others set the pace, because the Moon is opposite your sign, in the house of marriage and partnerships. If you are in a couple, let your other half suggest the plan for the evening and agree to at least part of it. If you are single, a new acquaintance will come more likely from a conversation than from a glance, so don't turn down an invitation for coffee.

Earth Signs

For Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn the day is more scattered than yesterday, because the Moon leaves calm Taurus and enters chatty Gemini. Keep a list on paper and don't take on more tasks than you can manage by evening.

♉ Taurus

Money comes to the foreground, because the Moon has just left your sign and is moving into your second house. The temptation to buy something small on the spot is great, and such purchases add up quickly. Before you pay online, leave the product in the cart for 24 hours. Keep your receipts too, because with Mercury retrograde you may have to return goods.

♍ Virgo

Your boss and clients will keep you under pressure, because the Moon is in your career house and everyone is looking to you. Mercury also rules your sign, and now, while it is retrograde, it brings back old tasks you thought were finished. Don't promise deadlines over the phone. Ask for the request to be sent to you in writing and reply after you have read it in peace.

♑ Capricorn

Small everyday tasks will swallow you up, because the Moon is in your sixth house, where work and health are. Your back and neck will ask for rest if you sit in front of a screen all day. Every hour, get up for five minutes and move your shoulders. Today is not the day to change your diet or your doctor.

Air Signs

Gemini, Libra and Aquarius feel good, because the Moon is in an air sign and their thoughts flow easily. Today they persuade and make friends without effort, but retrograde Mercury makes them remember exactly who promised what.

♊ Gemini

The Moon is in your sign and all day you will have energy for three. Your body will tire sooner than your head, so don't skip lunch and drink about a liter and a half of water by evening. If you feel yourself jumping from task to task, choose one and finish it in 30 minutes without interruption.

♎ Libra

Your curiosity is great today, and a book, a course or a trip will attract you more than your usual tasks. The Moon in your ninth house opens the mind, and Venus, which rules your sign, is retrograde, so it is better to learn something new than to spend money on it. If you are planning a trip, check the dates on the tickets against those of your leave and see until when your ID card is valid.

♒ Aquarius

Your fifth house, where the Moon is today, is the house of pleasures, children and flirting. If you have children, set aside the evening for them without rushing; they will tell you things they otherwise leave out. Play, drawing or music charge you more today than a TV series. Take up the hobby you abandoned some time ago; with Mercury retrograde, the old is finished more easily than the new.

Water Signs

Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces feel this Moon as noise: a lot of talk and little feeling. Save your strength for the people you really need, not for everyone who wants an answer right away.

♋ Cancer

The day will seem noisy to you, and you will want silence. The Moon is in your twelfth house, where strength is gathered rather than spent. Go to bed at least an hour earlier than usual and don't leave difficult conversations for late in the evening, when nerves are thinner.

♏ Scorpio

It is your birthday month, and the Moon today is in your eighth house and brings out topics that are hard to talk about: shared money, debts, jealousy. Mercury is retrograde right in your sign and your words may sound sharper than you mean them. Talk about the bills with your partner in the morning, when you are both rested, not in the evening after work.

♓ Pisces

Family and home want your attention, because the Moon is in your fourth house. A relative may call with news or a request that will take you time. If something at home has been waiting for repair for days, look it over today and find a repairman, but don't sign a contract or pay a deposit until the end of the week.

The Moon will be in Gemini on Thursday too, so a conversation that doesn't reach an end today can calmly continue the next day.
