The Outer SUN leads with the mental agility of mutable air and the Inner MOON leads with the world altering momentum of mutable earth.

During the Celestial Month of GEMINI all the major lunations occur in Mutable signs. The Inner & Outer having a similar kind of drive.

Each quarter Moon phase is tuned to the same mode of expression as the sign where the SUN currently transits (cardinal, fixed, or mutable).

Each celestial month plays out like this every time, like clockwork! The Half Waxing Moon rises at noon and sets at midnight.
