Last Quarter Moon - Keywords for the Last Quarter Moon phase are: realignment, revision, integration, and cleansing.  This is the time in a lunar cycle to take closing action, to follow-up and complete activities  begun at the New phase. During this phase you become aware of what is and is not working with respect to the achievement of your goal(s) for this cycle. The movement is toward integrations. Open to your success. MANIFEST YOUR GOAL. Be responsible.  The Last Quarter Moon is the HARVEST phase - the plant gives her life so that others may continue theirs.

Moon in Gemini - This moon transit is a time of communication and other means of expression, freedom, adaptability, reading or writing, desire for variety and having more than one thing going at once.  You might feel talkative during this Gemini... All these communication skills are easier during a Gemini moon transit and today is Woden 's Day - Mercury Day - the Day of Communication and Connection... (of course remember that Mercury is in Retrograde, so you may find yourself putting your foot in your mouth).  People can be more adaptable and changeable during this moon transit so take all statements and promises with a grain of salt, especially if the person has proven to be fickle in the past.
This can be a hard time to make decisions but you can use your wit and cleverness in conversations. You will probably experience a strong desire for variety and freedom.  As this moon transit moves toward the Sign of Cancer, (Friday of this week) interactions and communications become more emotional.
    Days of the lunar cycle/month when the transiting moon is in your personal moon sign is a good time to work on your compulsions and unexplainable drives. It is also one of your personal power days. If the transiting moon is conjunct (the same sign and degrees) as your natal sun or moon sign), it will be a time of strength and authority.
