Episode 348 | Gemini and the Double Moon Week!

This week: The Moon doubles up with two lunations – a Pisces Last Quarter AND a Gemini New Moon! Gemini loves to do things in pairs, so it would not have it any other way. One of the nicest transits of the year, as Venus makes a conjunction with Jupiter in Cancer, just before Venus enters glamorous Leo. Communication takes on a serious tone when Mercury squares Saturn, and a listener question about the complex quincunx aspect. Plus: Letting the dough rest, trimming palms, and looking for glamor in the back of your closet!
