“I love to talk about nothing. It’s the only thing I know anything about.” Oscar Wilde

With the Moon in conversational, lighthearted Gemini the twins today, and aspecting Venus (social), Mars (enterprising) Neptune (idealistic), and Jupiter (abundance), it’s definitely a stellar time to mingle and have some fun. Especially since most people are apt be more agreeable and flexible now. The Moon, Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune are also all in mutable signs, which tend to be more accommodating by nature. Additionally, it’s a good day, perhaps, to find a way to creatively mix up work with a little play.

The Gemini Moon is in its strength zone making witty observations and comments about the world. It also relishes discussing its feelings.  And, while the activity of listening generally draws high praise from others – we’re always taught that it’s far more important to listen than talk! – talking also comes with its own set of perks. For one thing, it’s cathartic! It helps us to release or empty out what’s going on inside of us, often bringing us much needed emotional relief. Sharing our thoughts and feelings with others is also often a powerful way for us to be personally witnessed or validated. Which is also very important because, at the end of the day, all of us want to be heard, in some way, shape, or form.  Too, the more we open up and share with others, the more likely they will also feel compelled to do the same with us.  Potentially, a win-win situation for everybody. And a natural way for all of us, perhaps, to help spread love and connection around!

“It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.” Erma Bombeck

Famous Celebs with Moon in Gemini: Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, Khloe Kardashian, Tina Turner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sigmund Freud

“Words and magic were in the beginning one and the same thing, and even today words retain much of their magical power.” Sigmund Freud

I was also reading something somewhere, the other day, similar in vein to this Freud quote. The writer likened words, themselves, to voodoo. Said that words can create spells. Think I agree!

Famous January 17 Birthdays: Michelle Obama, Jim Carrey, Muhammad Ali, Al Capone, Steve Harvey, Betty White

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Muhammad Ali

It was also reported today that the airport in Muhammad Ali’s hometown of Louisville, Kentucky will be renamed in his honor. Pretty cool!

This day in history:  On January 17, 1920, prohibition went into effect in the US as a result of the 18th amendment. Interestingly, at the time, the change-oriented, often chaotic planet Uranus was literally at the tail end of Aquarius, at 29 degrees 44 minutes. It entered alcohol-ruling Pisces, five days later, where it would stay for 8 more years. Prohibition would last for 13 years!

Hope you enjoy your day! By the way, operators are standing by, eagerly waiting to take your calls! What’s on your mind? 🙂
