With the Moon in Gemini emotions are fleeting and quickly rationalized. You prefer discussing feelings to actually experiencing them, having learned in the past to be cut off from deep feelings. When positively expressed, the soul is able to communicate feelings freely without being overly emotional.

INABILITY TO MAKE A COMMITMENT
This Moon carries the puer or puella – the eternally young boy or girl who slips through life without a care. With this Moon, you remain forever young at heart. Gemini is a deeply uncommitted sign. It is fickle and changeable, moving ever onward, charming everyone but attached to no-one. One moment the Gemini Moon will feel one way, the next minute another. This soul never notices when the feelings switch, nor recognizes the paradox of holding opposite views. Whatever Gemini believes in that minute is true in that moment. So the soul with Moon in Gemini has learned not to trust emotions. As a result, commitment is difficult and the intimacy of truly sharing deep feelings is rare.

THE EMOTIONAL MANIPULATOR
As a cerebral sign, Gemini dislikes emotions. The soul with this Moon is more than a little afraid of being carried away by emotion, and so Gemini tends to be superficial. Deep feelings are rationalized out of existence. Gemini is a cunning sign and has learned a great deal about other people’s feelings. This guileful Moon can manipulate those feelings to his or her own advantage. This Moon can create an illusion, or sell an idea, and genuinely believe, for a few minutes, that it is ultimate truth.

EMOTIONAL NEEDS
Gemini’s emotional needs are usually sublimated into discussion and debate. This sign seeks mental stimulation and can believe that holding a conversation is being intimate. But confront the Gemini Moon with real feelings, and the tendency is to slip away. If Gemini can’t run, then he or she resorts to verbalizing the feelings out of existence. As a result, emotional needs are isolated and repressed. This is a deeply ingrained habit, and so the soul with the Moon in Gemini is alienated from feelings and emotions for many lifetimes. Prior to this, the soul may have experienced deep emotional trauma, and shut down as a result. When the soul with this Moon does learn to open up again, it can be highly articulate about its feelings, sharing them openly. However, the sharing will remain rational – being taken over by those emotions is not an option for this Moon.

LUNAR FOOD
The lunar food the soul craves is attention and mental stimulation. Above all else, this Moon wants to be listened to. It has a deep need to be heard, so talking becomes a substitute for emotional satisfaction.

MOTHERING EXPECTATIONS
The mother that this soul seeks is articulate and imaginative. She can enter into an inner world and communicate freely. What is expected is a playful, intelligent mother who encourages exploration and independence. What the soul fears is the manipulative mother who knows just how to play on feelings.

ANCESTRAL INHERITANCE
This is the soul that has been encouraged to communicate and socialize – and there can be something of the “social climber” about the family. The inheritance is cerebral. What the soul has not been encouraged to do is to participate in and share feelings honestly. True feelings may be covered up, superficial feelings may not accord with those within. Any display of emotion within the family is frowned upon. There is something about the Gemini Moon that is difficult to pin down, and this is reflected in the family ambience. It may be secrets, gossip, or matters that need great discretion, but something in the family background remains hidden.
