DON’T: Be Inconsistent

Since Geminis are mutable air signs, their free-spirited and adaptable influence will inspire the collective to flow freely during this lunation, leaving room for unpredictability. Avoid being flighty by committing to projects and following up on your plans.

DO: Wrap Up Your Projects

Full moons are all about completion, so while it's not ideal to start on anything new, it's a crucial time to finish your biggest and most pressing projects, especially the ones that have been put on the backburner.
