Tonight's Moon

Waning Moon in Gemini

The Moon is 85% bright, near 21 degrees of Gemini. The last quarter moon arrives in 3 days.

Because it is waning, it rises late and stays in the sky until the morning sun comes up again. On the same night, Mercury appears to move backward in Scorpio and is currently hidden by the Sun's glare. Venus is also moving backward in Libra and is hard to spot near the Sun as well.

In astrology, a waning moon is read as a time for sharing what you have received. Pass along one thing you learned today to someone else.
