Now I'm looking at October 12th. There's sadness in the air, there's seriousness in the air. And.
The Moon in Ardra is in Gemini. Gemini is about communication. So there's something sad that people are trying to express. And Ardra does deal a lot with storms. So there could be some howling winds and storms somewhere, snow, serious storms somewhere in the world. And sometimes that can be figuratively, too. Storms, emotions, sadness. That's what I feel from this day. And another thing is with this, Jupiter is with the Moon. So sometimes this can exaggerate our feelings and our emotions that we're feeling on this day. It is intense. But the Moon, being the entire day in Gemini is a day that we feel compelled to communicate more with others, to talk. And the Mars, Mercury, they go to the fifth house from the Moon. So there's something about writing, communicating, talking, expressing ourselves in a creative way. This is what it's all about. Express your heartfelt emotions.
