Full Moon in Gemini
On December 8th, in the early hours (5:07am GMT), the Moon will illuminate the skies as it reaches peak fullness at 16° Gemini.
Caught in a tense t-square and conjunct retrograde Mars, emotions may run high, challenging you to release, to purge, to shed the excess of what has arisen over the past six months since the New Moon in Gemini occurred, back on May 30th.
Understanding what needs to be said, what needs to be processed, and what needs to be integrated will become apparent during this time.
With Mars having taken an extended run through the Mercurial skies since August 20th - including its current station retrograde, which began back on October 30th - you may have found that life took a more active turn than you were anticipating. Twisting you into shapes you did not expect.
Whatever track you thought you were on, you may have suddenly found yourself traversing another. Unexpectedly opening you up to new possibilities, as you engaged with people, places, and perspectives you had not previously been exposed to.
However, when Mars slowed its roll at the end of October, things may have suddenly felt a little sticky. A one step forward, three steps back kind of dance. Yet this was merely to give you an opportunity to BREATHE. To pause. To take a moment so as to consider as to whether all that glistens in your life, is in fact gold.
Thus, as you move through the energies of this Full Moon, you are being asked to reflect on what the past six months have brought into your life and additionally, what it has removed. Literally and metaphorically. Internally and externally.
As things have shifted, either subtly, or perhaps dramatically, have you been able to gain more clarity, more certainty, and more conviction when it comes to what it is you truly want.
Whatever that may be for you, with Jupiter conjunct Neptune - both now stationed direct in Pisces - squaring Venus in Sagittarius and Mercury in Capricorn, you not only need to focus it, but challenge yourself to expand it, to start believing that anything might truly be possible.
Yet, if you’ve been conditioned to believe in lack or limitation, then this may well be a time when you’re called to develop the faith to see without sight. Can you trust the vision, over the perceived ‘reality.’
With Saturn in Aquarius weighing in on the action, this is an opportunity for you to set yourself free, to unravel any mental restraints which have kept you bound from living a full and expansive existence which has always been destined to be yours.
The question is, can you move out of your own way, in order to do so. Can you break from tradition, from the way things have previously been, in order to step into how things ultimately can be. Can you forgo your comfort zone and leap, courageously, into the unknown.
Pluto’s sextile to the Neptune-Jupiter conjunction is supporting you in making a life-changing transformation…If you have the willingness to take a chance on yourself.
When Mars stations direct on January 12th 2023, you’ll want to be ready to take action, so utilise this time to clear space for what is to come and find clarity within yourself about what exactly you’d like that to look like.
By March 14th, Mars will have retraced it’s steps, finding itself back at 25° Gemini, and you might just find that life looks a little different to how you imagined it unfurling the year previous.
