### What Does the Moon in Gemini Mean?

The Moon represents emotional needs, moods, instinct, memory, and the body's daily rhythms. In Gemini, those themes take on a curious, quick, talkative, and restless quality. The Moon's sign colors the mood of the day. It is the fastest-moving influence astrologers track and the one most people notice first.

### How Long Does the Moon Stay in Each Sign?

The Moon changes sign every 2 to 2.5 days, circles the zodiac in about 27.3 days, and completes its cycle of phases in about 29.5 days. It never turns retrograde.

### Why Do Some Sites List a Different Date for This Sign Change?

Most astrology sites print a single date without a time zone. An ingress at 10:49 PM in New York is already the next day in London and Sydney, so two correct sources can disagree by a day. Selfgazer gives every time in both US Eastern time and UTC, and the tables switch to your own time zone in the browser.

## Method

Positions are geocentric and tropical: apparent longitudes on the true ecliptic and equinox of date, corrected for light time and aberration. They are computed with the open-source Astronomy Engine library (VSOP87 planetary theory) and agree with the Swiss Ephemeris to within about one arcminute. The North Node is the mean node. Times are given in UTC and US Eastern time.
