Today's lunar eclipse fell in the sign of Gemini. Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury, the great messenger of the Gods. Mercury's forte is communication and commerce. The written word, spoken word, computers, radio, television and telephone all fall into Mercury's area. Facebook and Twitter are modern day versions of how this planet operates. Mercury is known to be a mutable planet, taking on the characteristics or nature of other planets it is near. You could say he is a bit of a chameleon, I also use the word "trickster" for this planet. If Mercury is strong in our chart it gives us the ability to be discriminating, to see the truth. A weak Mercury makes us rationalize, justify and creates dishonesty. The lunar eclipse falls at 4 degrees Gemini, if you have planets in your chart near that degree point, it will create an event relative to the house and sign it is located in. Watch the information that comes to you today, Mercury is a fast moving planet. Eclipses sometimes give clues, they don't reveal it all at one time. What happened in your life that was significant 18-19 years ago? This lunar eclipse feels more personal and emotional to us. An eclipse is really a wildcard in our chart. The lunar eclipse is followed in 2 weeks by a solar eclipse. The solar eclipse influences us on an outward level, it will fall in the opposite sign of Sagittarius.
As I write this article this morning, the news is reporting possible governing regulations for the internet, this is also about "commerce". This will most definitely affect each and every one of us in the future. It will be interesting to watch the development of internet regulations.
