Full Moon in Gemini: Navigating Through the Fog

Today (Sunday December 3rd 2017) is the day of the December Full Moon! This Full Moon may be a tricky one to navigate as we may be feeling like we're lost in a fog. If you are able to go with the energy in the correct way however, it won't be so bad. 

Full Moon's are always the culmination of a cycle. A time of harvest. At this Full Moon though, we may not be so sure where we are going next. This Full Moon we have the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius. We are working with the axis of the mind. We may very much be in our heads at this time. With the Sun (and 3 other planets) in Sagittarius we are wanting to know what direction we should be moving in now. We are seeking the truths of situations. We want to know where we stand. 

Part of the frustration lies in that the Moon in Gemini is ruled by Mercury which started a retrograde ( look out for a post about that soon) the night before. This means that things aren't really moving forward very fast now and we can't seem to find answers. Another frustrating aspect is that Neptune is in an exact square to the Full Moon, basically acting like a fog machine. This means we are coming to a culmination point, but we are frustrated because our minds want information and we want to figure out the direction things are going in. We want the truth of situations in our outer world. Yet, Neptune and Mercury retrograde are throwing a wrench in things. 

How do we work with this energy?

Mercury is retrograde in Sagittarius. This will help us if we turn inwards rather than pushing forward through the fog in our outer lives. The truth of things on the external may not be so apparent, but we must turn inwards and discover our inner truth. Come to terms with the truth of what you truly want in your heart. Retreat and reflect on this. 

While the Moon is ruled by Mercury retrograde, the Sun in Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter in Scorpio. Jupiter has been making a trine to Neptune. This is a positive aspect that helps us use Neptune's energy in a good way. This is also a rare aspect that we should make the most of. Neptune can be confusing, but it also rules the spirit and the divine. Jupiter, which is in Scorpio right now expands everything it touches and wants deep soul level connection. There is this beautiful expansive energy of the spirit to get in touch with right now if we so choose. We live in a vast, awesome, universe and if tap into this energy that permeates all life, we'll be better off at this time. Have some faith and trust that things will go in the right direction for you. Let go of the reins a little bit. 

~ Overall this is an intense Full Moon and yes this is a Super Moon ( I know there's a lot of hype out there about that) which basically means the Moon is closer to the Earth and the energy is amplified. The key to this one is how you navigate it. If you focus too much on your outer life, you could potentially feel very frustrated. The energy has been building up to this Full Moon, so perhaps that energy resonates with how you've been feeling the last few days. Basically this is a time to go within, connect with your spirit, your spirituality/spiritual practice. That is the saving grace that will get you out of your head and into your spirit. You are a spiritual being having a human experience, remember that. You have a compass within. Follow that, trust that, and and it will see you through the fog. ~

Full Moon in Gemini: Time to Release Old Thinking and Belief Patterns

On Tuesday ( December 13th 2016 at 4:05 PM PST) we are having a Full Moon in Gemini, which will be the last super moon in a series of 3! Since October, I'm sure a lot of you have felt the intense energy of the Full Moons and now that energy is about to hit it's last point. We've had a period of releasing right before the new year, so we can go into it ready for a fresh start. 

Mercury Retrograde is right around the corner (starting on December 19th, look out for a post about that!) so this week before the retrograde and during the retrograde, we are taking a look at the past and issues we've been carrying around, so that we can finally release them. 

With the Moon in Gemini and the Sun in Sagittarius, the 'axis of the mind' is being highlighted. That means that the main things we have to let go of during this Full Moon are our old beliefs, thinking and thought patterns that aren't serving us anymore. No more stinkin' thinkin'!

There are a lot of aspects surrounding the Full Moon as well, which I will now discuss. 

Saturn conjunct the Sun and opposing the Moon

With the Moon across from Saturn, I would say beware of sinking into a bit of depression during this Full Moon. Saturn is working in a more beneficial way with the Sun though, so perhaps depressing feelings won't be too big of an issue. Full Moons are known to be emotional times though. With Saturn touching the Sun it should help us restructure our thoughts and beliefs and help us deal with things a bit more practically. 

Mars trine the Moon and sextile the Sun

These are nice aspects involving Mars. This brings some action oriented energy. Especially with the energy of Saturn there is an air of getting things done. This is truly the week to get things done before the holidays as Mercury retrograde starting next week could slow things down. Mars is of course influencing us to take action with releasing our worn out thought patterns as well of course. 

Uranus trine the Sun and sextile the Moon

These are some nice aspects that bring the energy of change. I'd say mostly good change though, so don't freak out. Something nice and unexpected could come out of the blue as well. Uranus being in Aries is also pushing us to release beliefs and thought patterns holding us back from being our unique, quirky and independent selves.

Jupiter trine the Moon and sextile the Sun

Yet another good aspect! Jupiter is inspiring positive growth and has been making a lot of aspects lately as well. With Jupiter's year long transit through Libra, relationships have been highlighted. This is the one aspect of the Full Moon that specifically could have to do with relationships because of this. Letting go of beliefs and thinking that no longer serve us could help us have more harmonious and compromising relationships at this time.

Chiron square the Sun and Moon

This is the hardest aspect of the Full Moon. Chiron has been coming up a lot lately, which is why I wrote a post about it recently, which you can checkout here. We are being majorly encouraged lately to let go of our wounds. Especially how they are affecting our thinking and beliefs about ourselves and life in general. With Chiron's transit in Pisces, the best way to heal any wounds would be to connect spiritually. Positive affirmations may be an extremely powerful way to change our old thought patterns as well during this time. 

~ Overall this is a powerful Full Moon! Remember to do your best to release those icky thought patterns that have been keeping you stuck. It's time to make way for more positive thinking in 2017!~

Full Moon in Gemini: The Last Full Moon of the Year

Tomorrow, December 6th 2014, we will have the last Full Moon of the year at 4:27 AM (PST). The Full Moon will be in Gemini and there is a lot of planetary energy going on around it. 

The most intense aspect to this Full Moon will be Chiron's square to both the Moon and the Sun. Chiron's involvement in this Full Moon means that we all will have to release and deal with some of our wounds. Chiron's square to the Moon in Gemini signifies that we have to release mental and thought patterns that are no longer serving us. It's important that we free up our minds during this Full Moon. Chiron's square to the Sun signifies that we also need to release beliefs that we have held that our no longer serving us. Basically, Chiron's involvement in this Full Moon is showing us that it's time to release any negative thoughts and beliefs we've had about ourselves, others, or the world during the past year. Perhaps some of our thoughts and beliefs have held us back in some way this past year. Chiron is in Pisces, so perhaps our negative thoughts and beliefs have made us loose faith in some way or made us feel disconnected and alone. Chiron's square during this last Full Moon of the year, is helping us to release these mental habits, so that we can start the new year off right. Chiron is urging us to start 2015 off with a mind clear of negative thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs, so that we are no longer held back by stinkin' thinkin'.  

During the past week or so, some of you may have had a hard time. The energy may have felt intense to you, things may have felt out of control, or some unexpected events may have happened. Personally I have felt and seen evidence of this weird energy! Loved ones have complained of intense and emotional energy, the weather has been a little crazy where I live, my cat was acting odd, and my sleeping pattern has been really off. Perhaps some of you have experienced similar things. This intense energy is because of a square between Uranus and Pluto. They have squared each other numerous times during the past year or so and every time they square the energy is intense and weird to say the least. Uranus also was trine the Sun this week adding to the madness. Uranus will still be trine the Sun during the Full Moon and will play a part in this planetary extravaganza. Uranus is the wild card of all the planets, so who knows what sort of wacky unexpected energy it will bring during this Full Moon. Although, Uranus's energy still may have been felt stronger earlier in the week and may not cause much havoc over the weekend. In any case, be prepared for whatever might come your way! 

Overall this Full Moon has a lot to do with thinking, beliefs and our minds. If we release any negativity and what not, we will be able to make room for wonderful new thoughts, ideas and beliefs. We can also clear our minds and make room to learn some new things! The energy may be intense, but as always the planets are trying to help and guide us. Banish those bad thoughts and beliefs from your heart and mind, so that you can heal your wounds and start afresh in the new year.
