Note that in this case, we take into consideration the mean Black moon position, in my opinion, it appears to be the most meaningful in most classical cases. But keep in mind that when it comes to the Black moon we must see things with a “zonal” perspective (an area with an Orb), rather than as a fixed material point.
It’s due to pass into Gemini around July 2021 and will leave this sign around mid-spring 2022, underlining more directly the Mercurian energies during this period, thus being able to trigger these forces more directly.

Main signs impacted during this transit :
Gemini obviously, the whole Mutable cross, therefore Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces (this last sign, especially from the end of 2021 and over 2022).
People with a significant “Mercurian recurrence” in their birth chart will have a greater sensitivity.
By extension, it’s also important to keep an eye on the Aquarius and Libra air forces.
What to learn ? / What to pass on ?
This transit of the Black moon is consecutive to the transit of the northern node which also went up Gemini since about June 2020, and moreover these 2 karmic factors are crossing each other around this month of September 2021, in the middle of the first decan of this sign !
This type of conjunction should not be neglected and can produce an important refocusing with regard to our fundamental goals of existence. It’s a bit as if suddenly the compass had to polarize again and really showed us “the north”, even if it produces a kind of “cut”, a break, an edge.
In some cases, this could correspond either to an important encounter, or to a rupture, these karmic forces then being expressed by Projections, they will be embodied “outside”, in our environment, in front of us, or even in a framework implying a form of “fatality” (with elements that impose themselves by force of circumstance).
I invite you to read my article “How do karmic transits act in your daily life ?” to develop these different tracks.
Note that I have seen many consultants recently (since late 2020 and early 2021 as I write these lines), whose forecasting studies were very sensitive to these karmic transits and this period, so if you really have important energies in the Mutable Cross (especially 1st decan), this period from late August to September should be watched particularly, and what happens there may even leave a mark until spring 2022.
The Gemini archetype revolves a lot around air, social, sociable energies, so it might be interesting to consciously externalize these forces, for example by forming a new learning process, finding or using a new mode of communication, translating certain personal qualities within the collective sphere, or even teaching and passing on to others according to your own experiences…
Naturally, depending on your age at the time of this transit, this may translate in more than one way, as I explain in my article on the Mercury recurrence.
On the other hand, what remains quite central with this archetype is indeed the notion of “externalization” / extroversion..
With the karmic influences of the black moon, this could require, for example, the confrontation with certain “social fears”, with others, or with an audience !
If introversions are present in birth at these levels, such as the fear of not being understood, of not understanding, or of being rejected by others, there will be the challenge “to face it” and to work somehow towards a different integration of the collective…
Again, the transit of the north node may have raised this a lot since June 2020 already, so it’s likely these elements “don’t come from nowhere”, that you feel them “going up” in the medium term, and somehow the transit of the black moon comes therefore to symbolize the fact of the need to “jump in” now ! (and over 9 months)
We can assume that the necessary preliminary reflections have been carried out, the negotiations, the mediations, have already taken place a lot, and now there is a certain test of reality that cannot be avoided and that can only be carried out in a “mental”, intellectual, theoretical, but also “practical” way.
It’s likely that the bulk of these energies will be expressed most in the socio-professional sphere, through a new job for example, or a new direction to give to old activities, a form of “reconversion”.
But it could also correspond to “an important discussion” for instance, with a revelation, something that acts a lot in terms of “awareness”, and which will therefore be important enough to form a turning point in life (with a charge of seriousness by the way, if you are a parent and have something important to say to your child, it’s okay to do so).
The “good interesting point”, if we can say so, is that this transit of the black moon does not cause any major tension with the other background transits (social, transpersonal) for several months (on the contrary we see the trine at Saturn in Aquarius), which can help precisely, very studious, hardworking, and persevering qualities !
We will be more conscious that we get nothing for nothing, that it takes time, sweat, sacrifices, if we want to later reap the real fruits of our work, investment, knowledge, and qualities.
Important turning point in December 2021
Towards December 2021, especially in the last ten days, crossings of important influences take place, we see that the black moon tightens the increasing square at Neptune Pisces, at the moment when the transit of Jupiter also invests this sign ! Then we also see that the lunar nodes change axis to transit in Scorpio / Taurus.
This period will take us very directly back to what happened at the new moon of June 10, 2021 in Gemini !
Mercury then retrograded on these same points, at the square of the Neptunian forces, Jupiter made its small incursion already also in its Pisces domicile, but then the things that could be awakened could not be fully “finalized”, and this current phase of the end of 2021 comes precisely very directly to underline this, to put it back on the table…
With Jupiter passing in this sign, joining the transit of Neptune and acting here in the longer term, the wave of Neptunian energies is inevitably very important, the emotional and transpersonal receptivity is exacerbated, however, there is always a form of “challenge” to succeed in externalizing this ! to allow a concrete materialization of these forces in reality.
The months of January and February 2022 will be particularly acute in this respect, especially between the end of January and the beginning of February, this is when tensions will be at their highest and the “sharp” aspect of the black moon will be able to play to its fullest ! (and thus force the necessary exteriorizations, such as a confrontation with an audience, with their “fears”)
What will take place there in tension will be able to find a form of “blooming”, of important recognition, from April, when Jupiter will be joint with Neptune, and that the fast transits will also go up Pisces, the Neptunian wave will be maximum and will form the “reward” of the risks taken previously, of the sublimation of the fears and the confrontations, a “materialization” of the emotional qualities in a way…
