DON’T: Be Reckless With Technology

Mercury rules over all forms of communication, including technology, so be extra careful about what you post, especially considering that full moon periods can be messy and dramatic. Double-check for errors and think before you tweet.

DON’T: Be Inconsistent

Since Geminis are mutable air signs, their free-spirited and adaptable influence will inspire the collective to flow freely during this lunation, leaving room for unpredictability. Avoid being flighty by committing to projects and following up on your plans.

DO: Wrap Up Your Projects

Full moons are all about completion, so while it's not ideal to start on anything new, it's a crucial time to finish your biggest and most pressing projects, especially the ones that have been put on the backburner.

DON’T: Get Caught Up In Drama

With great popularity comes great responsibility, so while the twins will empower your social life, the full moon energy may cause dramatic rifts in your friendships. Skip the drama by setting clear boundaries among your friend group.
