This week is the Full Moon in Gemini!

This Full Moon opposes Venus and squares the nodes exactly at 13° on December 4^th at 3:14pm pacific. This coincides with the full moon that occurred on June 11^th in Sagittarius forcing conversations and themes back into the conscious foreground from 6 months ago. The Full Moon in Sagittarius made a square to the nodes as well causing friction, inspiration, and growth regarding themes involving moving, travel, education, communication styles, and learning. These same conversations come back as a way to assess whether or not you now need to make adjustments in order to attain north node Pisces peace and spiritual alignment.

The mutable sings are especially affected by this grand square lunation: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces can certainly feel the pull. The 9’s in the tarot are all activated and present so if you have been pulling 9 of swords, wands, cups, or pentacles, know that this grand square is speaking directly to you, although I have to admit, no one is immune to this portal in sky. We are in a 9 year currently so the symbolism of endings certainly isn’t lost on me with this being the last full moon of the year.

The Moon Gemini = 9 of swords: redundant analyzing, fear of the unknown, anxiety, difficulty sleeping as well as identifying thought patterns, attributing language to the worry by giving it a name / identifying it.

The Sun Sagittarius = 9 of wands: a place where fatigue sets in from all of the traveling, growing, learning, and experiencing. Persistent worries can lead to future projecting, perceptions are based on mindset.

The North Node Pisces = 9 of cups: spiritual contentment and satisfaction, learning the wisdom of moderation and disillusionment, allowing oneself to fully receive and reflect back mutually. Connecting to either spirit or the “spirits” of libation, generating an image based off of emotions without the facts or details.

The South node Virgo = 9 of pentacles: showing off your rewards, working hard to attain perfection, letting go of the need to be perceived as perfect or useful. Moving away from anxieties and over analyzing how to do something perfectly.

The grand mutable cross is potent for manifesting dreams into reality

but first it must be verbalized, spoken as was the first word.

Words and conversations alter the path that we are on this week, we are also now being held accountable for what we say by the cosmos, the words we choose to use and the stories we continue to tell all have an immediate effect on the progression of our lives. This calls for a heavy adjustment in how we perceive the future by speaking intentionally about the present. Small changes in the words you use influences the mind’s belief system - for instance when you say “I HAVE to do xyz” vs “I GET to do xyz… (followed by a positive association)” it sends a different anticipatory signal to the body. “I have to” communicates something that you don’t actually want to do but are obligated to and that creates tension, anxiety, anticipation. But saying “I get to balance my bank account and check my finances because it will relieve me of this unnecessary stress” soothes the mind with a positive outcome. Try this exercise during the full moon with whatever ‘obligation’ you may have or conversation you find yourself in and notice how quickly your perception of the reality you are choosing to operate in changes.

On the topic of manifestation, I read a couple of Thread posts that shared how to reframe your mindset in order to attract what it is that you are trying to achieve by using your creative imagination skills. Let’s say you are ready for a secure, loving, and mutually receptive relationship and that’s what you want to bring into your life. Rather than focusing on what you don’t currently have, you imagine with as much detail what it would feel like to already be in that ideal relationship. This is in a way, training the nervous system to learn how to identify that feeling by teaching it what it feels like in the present. Does this sound a little Pisces delulu and brain washy? Kind of, but if ALL begins in the mind and our personal worlds are constructed by how we perceive our own reality, then the key to manifesting the life you want starts with how you choose to think about the current reality that you are in.

The way in which someone speaks or the tone they use is magnified during this full moon, as mentioned above regarding the potency of our words. We hit a cross roads, we know that if we hold in what we need to say it could likely change the course or progression of a situation, on the other hand, if we let it out without all of the details or facts that could also change the course. Feeling stuck in between do or don’t with the nodal square to the Full Moon activates an inner surge of energy that needs release in one form or another. There is something that has been analyzed to ad nauseam and needs to be released, the way in which we engage with it mentally needs to change or just end completely. Whatever you have been incessantly ruminating over since the New Moon in Scorpio will come to its final conclusion, we finally make up our minds about what the data has shown thus far and begin to move on or detach from what once had us left feeling confused. The rumination on a topic must be laid to rest. The Full Moon literally at the cross roads of the north and south nodes will be showing us the changes that we can choose to make for the sake of mental clarity and long term plasticity.

For my Chiron in Gemini folks

The Full Moon is in my 8^th house as I have Scorpio rising. This has already been showing up for me in a the delicate balance between how much of another person’s words I let into my unconscious thoughts (8^th house Gemini) and how much of mine I share. Many of you also have Chiron in Gemini in your natal charts so this full moon will be activating the Chironic wound around intelligence, speaking, and mental clarity. You have Chiron in Gemini If you were born between July of 1983 – June of 1988. There are 6 years’ worth of Chiron Gem babies born with various interests of the mind and how to heal it in all of its forms; early childhood development, speech pathology, focusing the mind through meditation, hypnosis, mental health medications. It’s possible we are the first group of people to grow up in a timeline where we started out with minimal technology which then exploded in under a decade. The human mind hasn’t evolved to navigate the plethora of distractions and the overload of information. Essentially, we’re healing our minds collectively and learning how to hone in on the power of conscious thought. For many of you with Chiron in Gemini, this full moon will illuminate just how much work you have already done in opening up your throat chakras, and confirming the progress / intelligence that you are here to share with the world.

A grand water trine between Mercury, Saturn / Neptune, and Jupiter closes us out at the end of the week facilitating access to emotional depth, compassion and understanding. Saturn’s presence here acts as a grounding rod for the inevitable expansion that occurs between Mercury and Jupiter’s breakthrough. Empty promises without follow through are not tolerated while Saturn is around, the lord of karma asks for us to prove what we have learned through practical application. Saturn wants to see results and that is exactly what we get. We are also able to see a situation that was once loaded with emotional turmoil and struggle differently, learning the important process of overcoming heartbreak, betrayal, or rejection. Time certainly does heal wounds of the heart but what heals a wound the fastest is when we transform our role within the pain from a victim of circumstance to willing participant in life’s lessons.

Mercury is gaining speed, moving through the last degrees of Scorpio, the pieces are all coming together with more epiphanies and insights cumulating into the end of the week drawing conclusions to issues that were first highlighted around October 23^rd – 25^th. The psychological nature of Mercury in Scorpio likely brought up relational dynamics such as attachment styles, awareness regarding mental health behavioral patterns, and repressed negative mental loops. This grand trine at the end of the week brings conclusions to those dynamics, offering mental clarity and a practical outlet for rumination. This is like the final acceptance moment, when we ease into the reality that maybe we still do have some emotional baggage to work on and that’s ok but for the time being you can give yourself a pat on the back because this grand water trine is graduation day for weathering through the storm.

12/1 MONDAY

Fearless spirit takes hold and bold moves produce the quickest response. A shot of adrenaline pumps through the veins of the collective as the Moon in Aries meets with ease and flow to Mars’ animated energy in Sagittarius. The Moon squares Jupiter forcing us to take initiative and push through comfort zones, it might feel like we can’t move fast enough or that the body is moving faster than the mind can keep up. The Moon shifts into slow moving Taurus in the evening forcing us to reconnect with the body and relinquish control over outcomes.

12/2 TUESDAY

Venus is pushing past insecurities and gaining much needed wisdom regarding how we utilize our relationships. Letting go of bad habits, expectations of others and taking the lead in our own lives to attain the level of connection we want to see without resulting to manipulation or secrecy. This is a gentle form of exposure therapy. New aesthetic concepts, helpful beauty tips, and a general desire to transform our personal style in some way begs for a more experimental eye.

12/3 WEDNESDAY

The Moon joins with Uranus after opposing Mercury, disruptions come when we think we have the pattern recognized and predictable. Sudden bursts of energy in the form of restlessness surface as new information becomes known and integrated with our truth. The Moon in Taurus has a tendency to want to maintain composure, keep things calm and peaceful while the chaos of the world unfurls but accepting the new details that come out to light sooner rather than later is the way we soothe the nervous system.

12/4 THURSDAY

The Full Moon in Gemini is opposite Venus and square the nodes – what you say can and will be held against you in the court of the cosmos. The truth comes out into the light whether that’s from within ourselves or from another, a truth that will finally end the rumination. If you have been going back and forth on whether or not you believe something or someone, whether the story lines up with actions, or if you should communicate that important revelation, this is the time to make the decision on how to handle these occurrences.

12/5 FRIDAY

The revelations from the new moon continue to influence how we make decisions for our lives throughout the day into tomorrow putting tension on making the right or wrong decision. This is a good day to reevaluate how the ego has been driving the bus and whether it has the accurate moral judgement or clarity that it needs to take action. Mars trines Chiron clearing up past wounds around stalled or skipped steps of the past and a motivating force pushes us towards healing any actions taken out of self-righteousness.

12/6 SATURDAY

Vision boards come out! Clarity and truth and an overall ease with communicating these deeper understandings is supported through Mercury’s current trajectory trining Jupiter today and then making a trine to Saturn tomorrow. There is a genuine bid for reconciliation through open and honest communication. We are receptive and willing to integrate the truth constructively and with compassion. Hidden agendas don’t stay hidden for long when Mercury is in Scorpio and we have just a few days left of this deeply penetrative mental capacity at the helm, so it’s best to use this time to continue investigating the dynamics and nuance a bit longer before Mercury ingresses into Sagittarius. We should have a good grasp on the storyline at this point but Mercury will continue to reveal more details that paint an even more clear picture.

12/7 SUNDAY

Though we’re feeling a bit sensitive and testy with the Moon in Cancer, she aligns with the grand water trine between Jupiter, Saturn / Neptune, and Mercury generating a massive well of empathy and emotional reasoning. We are able to take on the weight of the world and pour back into those that have a half empty cup – offering support, a hand, a shoulder and unconditional compassion to those who seek solace. This is also a deeply intuitive day, checking in on friends and loved ones who pop into our minds that likely will say they have been thinking of you too at the same time. Mercury trine Saturn makes our thoughts structured and coordinated through an emotional attunement, innately knowing when we have hit our emotional bandwidth. Moon then ingresses into Leo and opposes Pluto triggering a moment or situation that asks us to work through any remnants of shame. Feeling a loss of control for how we are perceived and course correcting it immediately.
