On Wednesday, December 11th (9:12pm PST) and on December 12th (12:12am EST) the Full Moon glows in the inquisitive and perceptive sign of Gemini. The sign that is full of energy and loves to see, learn, experience, and absorbs everything that comes along her path. She’s quick in her thinking and is wired to move through topics a million miles an hour. Ideas? She has plenty. Curiosity? It drives her. Confusion? She lives it. Boredom? She despises it. Words romance her and if she feels like it she’ll use them to romance you, impress you, challenge you, spin you, entertain you, and inspire you. Her shadow creeps in when the chatter in her mind starts to consume her. If this happens, then it won’t be long before the tension spills over and Gemini finds herself completely depleted from all the crazy mental gymnastics she’s had to do.

So what does this mean for this Full Moon?

As you know, a Full Moon is a time of completion and a time for manifesting. This particular Full Moon leads us into the tension between the Gemini energy I mentioned above that calls for curiosity, information exchanged, new ideas, flexibility, adaptability, and fast paced movement. While the Sagittarius energy of the Sun is asking us to have faith and know that anything can happen as long as you believe. Just remember that when polarization is present, integration is the key. So do your best to have faith that a conversation that you’ve ben avoiding will turn out better than expected. Or maybe you need to have some faith or be willing to take a risk and say the things that you’ve been afraid to say. Be clear, open, and honest in your communications to make sure you don't have any misunderstandings or confusion.

Or maybe this energy is about a project that you’re about to take on that feels bigger than you and so you need to believe in yourself and take a risk. Maybe life is asking a lot of you right now, so the key is to stay curious and open during your interactions with others and this will likely leave room for some new possibilities or ideas to show up. If in doubt and you don’t know what to do, just ask a question. Any question that relates to what you’re feeling unsure about. Just remember that the question itself is often more important than the answer.

I do need to mention that Neptune, the mystical and dreamy planet that prefers to live in fantasy over reality, is making a challenging aspect to this Full Moon. Be aware of any distractions, patterns of avoidance, or illusions that cause you to slip into escape mode. While an escape might feel like a great temporary solution, it doesn’t deal with the real situation at hand. If there’s anything you’re avoiding just keep in mind that it’s likely to surface again and again and again until you deal with it. While this placement might trigger a crisis it can also present an opportunity. So pay attention to your dreams, watch for synchronicities, and open yourself up for those divine moments.

If you’ve spent any time with an astrologer recently, you’ve likely heard about the Saturn and Pluto alignment that will happen on January 12th next year and the Jupiter and Pluto alignment that will happen three times: April 4, June 30, and November 12th with the big shift of Jupiter and Saturn moving into Aquarius on December 21st. We’re all being asked to step up to the plate so that we can face whatever mountain stands before us. This is about digging your heels in and doing the hard work to see something through to completion. This isn’t a sprint. Think: marathon or maybe more like an iron man.

Of course it depends where Capricorn falls in your chart, but that will give you a clue as to what type of mountain you need to climb. With Pluto in the mix we have the opportunity to experience a powerful transformation, but it will certainly require a lot from us. Cue the line from the Spiderman movie: “with great power comes great responsibility” and apply this to whatever you are trying to move through. This Full Moon occurs right after Venus, Saturn, and Pluto all line up in Capricorn and this configuration places an emphasis on your relationships, and the things you value the most. Use this time to get aligned with your values and pay attention to any themes you see because everything that’s coming up right now especially around your conversations is connected to next year’s powerful transits.

While we all might feel our mental stimulation turned up on high in one way or another, we will all experience this lunar energy differently depending on where Gemini is located in your chart or if you have a natal planet associated with it. If you would like a more personalized reading, I’d love to set up a session with you.
