The energies are building toward the peak of the cycle that started with the power-house Scorpio New Moon. The culmination, Monday’s Full Moon in Gemini, is no less dramatic, and may feel like a wild ride!
Six planets are in the mutable signs, stirring up the swirl of change and calling for flexibility, adaptability and going with the flow. And, both the Moon and Mercury – ruler of Gemini and presiding deity of this lunation – are out-of-bounds, activating extreme, unpredictable, rebellious and “out there” energies.
The out-of-bounds-ness of this lunation invites innovation, experimentation and expanding beyond what we think we know or how we think reality “should” be. Useful states of being include curiosity, wonder, and imagination, while we’re advised to sidestep any righteousness, know-it-all-ness, or black/white thinking.
The Sun, Mars and Moon all square Saturn in Pisces, while Mercury squares Neptune in Pisces. There may be A LOT going on, and it could be easy to get lost in an inundation of information, connections and communications - as well as the machinations of your monkey mind. However! This Full Moon is calling for slowing down, spaciousness, meditation and dream time.
The higher potential, when you unplug from media madness and quiet the mind, is to connect with your deeper soul self and the Great Mystery, and become a conduit for cosmic consciousness. Profound wisdom, insight and guidance are available when you pay attention to the soft, subtle voice of your intuition, and tune into messages from your body and the earth.
Mercury enters its retrograde shadow the day before the Full Moon, and the full retro influence will be in effect until January 13th. As Mercury is in Sagittarius, the sign of its detriment, and out-of-bounds, and squaring Neptune… this retro could be particularly challenging in terms of miscommunications, misunderstandings, and delays and difficulties with technology and travel.
Traveling for the holidays? Being flexible, keeping a sense of humor, allowing for extra time to get where you’re going, and double-checking the details are all recommended.
While the daily details could be frustrating, the greater opportunity of this Mercury retrograde - which will be strongest from December 12/13th to January 1st - is to uncover deeper truth and wisdom about the BIG questions in life, release or rewrite any underlying stories of victimhood or powerlessness, and reimagine your dream for the future.
For more insight into what this Full means for YOU, find the house in your birth chart that contains 4° Gemini. The areas of life signified by that house are where events are coming to culmination, fruition or completion, and where you’re invited to:
open your mind to new perspectives and think outside the box;
get curious about and listen deeply to your body, intuition and feelings;
release and rewrite the attitudes and stories that undermine your power;
deepen your connection with spirit and tune into the dreamtime for guidance;
make practical changes in your everyday life to align with your deepest wisdom and highest vision.
