Good Morning Readers.: 

This evening we will rest under a The Waxing Gibbons of  the Storm Moon entering Gemini at 11:45pm this evening. The Waxing aspect of the Storm Moon urges us to make ready for Spring.... even if we don't technically see it outside our front door just yet. For most of today, the moon will be void-of-course but this evening we enter Gemini, the creative dynamic sign of the zodiac, a great time to pursue any creative projects you may be thinking about.Make sure to remain grounded though or the energetic nature of the sign may lend to a fair amount of chaos and emotion. 

Strom Moon: 

he Storm Moon  is our wake up call. During this time, all in nature is pure and full of potential. The hibernating creatures are beginning to slowly arouse themselves, quickening their heartbeats, and creeping out or their dormant period. Mother Earth is gently awakening full of quiescent possibilities. The Storm Moon uses the same force upon us. There is a gentle pulling upon our consciousness at this time, we become aroused to the latent forces within ourselves – now is the time to turn the mirror in upon ourselves, and see what is reflected. A time to grasp the buds of new paths and ideas, and like nature, be prepared to welcome life anew.

Waxing Gibbous::

An easy way to remember and understand those "between" lunar phase names is by breaking out and defining 4 words: crescent, gibbous, waxing and waning. The word crescent refers to the phases where the moon is less than half illuminated. The word gibbous refers to phases where the moon is more than half illuminated. Waxing essentially means "growing" or expanding in illumination, and warning means "shrinking" or decreasing in illumination.

Thus you can simply combine the two words to create the phase name, as follows:

After the new moon, the sunlit portion is increasing, but less than half, so it is waxing crescent. After the first quarter, the sunlit portion is still increasing, but now it is more than half, so it is waxing gibbous. After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon. 

For Pagans trying to live in sync with the moon and her cycles the Waxing Gibbous is a time for beginnings, a time to grow our intentions for the month. 

Void-of-Course:

According to theory, most activities should be initiated when the Moon is not Void- of- Course. New activities started during the void period generally don't work out to our liking, or they need some serious adjustment in order for them to meet any success. Therefore, if possible, one should avoid going on a first date, a job interview, starting a business or project, and so forth, during the Void of Course Moon.

Gemini: 

With the Moon in Gemini, individuals may feel animated and hyper.When the moon is in Gemini we are continuously active in one task or another but our attention may be unpredictable, you may find it hard today to stick to a plan  or routine today. Today we feel  the spirit of  spontaneity. . Gemini is a talented sign with a great imagination smiling upon creative tasks.Gemini is also  sociable and friendly with a  way with words, both written and verbal.But beware for with the Moon in Gemini, individuals often feel restlessness.. Often, people may feel  their minds operating overtime and they are inclined to study things and settings in an intellectual manner without offering much attention to their intuition and feelings. Due to this, some people  might suffer from an emotional conflict which makes them feel nervous and impatient, separating them from their surroundings.In order to temper this effect take some extra time today to stay grounded today
