GEMINI FULL MOON – 6 December 2014
Exact at 12.27pm
GMT, 7.27pm EST!
This Full Moon certainly has some sparkle to it, lifting us
out of the intensity and heaviness of the past month or so! We are officially
in Sagittarius season now, with the Sun, Mercury and Venus all travelling
through this enthusiastic, cheerful and fun loving sign. Woo hoo! Not that this
Moon is without its challenges, but just that it is a bit more lively and
upbeat and not so emotionally intense. It is quite likely that this Moon will
involve a lot of chatter and interaction with others. It is supported by
Uranus, the Great Awakener, which could add some quite exciting, electrical
energy to the picture, while it is being challenged by Chiron, the Wounded
Healer, which could force some of our wounds and insecurities out into the open
so we can talk about them. In the meantime the Pluto Uranus square is building
in strength in the background, bringing about change and transformation on a
very deep level, both personally and collectively. This Moon seems to be asking
us to think about what we need to change and take the plunge ourselves, rather
than ignoring it and having change hit us around the face!
The Moon is in versatile, chatty, curious Gemini, sitting
directly opposite the Sun in optimistic, adventurous and freedom loving
Sagittarius. Full Moons ask us to find the balance between the energy of the
two signs and in this case we have Gemini’s quick witted ability to engage and
gather information compared to Sagittarius’s search for the truth and meaning
in life. Gemini is very curious and wants to learn about everything but can get
bogged down in too many details, while Sagittarius can see the truth of the
matter and concentrates on the bigger picture. Gemini is a very rational sign
and looks at the hard facts, while Sagittarius is more intuitive and sees the
deeper meaning behind the data or facts. There is a lot of monkey mind chatter
with Gemini energy, while Sagittarius energy is more straightforward, silent and
direct. Gemini represents the city and is quite sophisticated and street smart,
while Sagittarius is the countryside and can be quite blunt and coarse. There is a sense of diversity to Gemini and a sense
of simplicity to Sagittarius. Gemini is logical and likes to figure things out,
while Sagittarius is based on faith and belief. The polarity between these two
signs highlights any lack of balance between our right and left brain, or
higher mind and lower mind, or our rational or intuitive selves. Do we favour
one more than the other?
Full Moons tend to bring anything up that has been bubbling
below the surface in the weeks beforehand. The Moon represents our unconscious,
instinctive, irrational, emotional, habitual tendencies and when it is full we
may have less control over these tendencies and anything that may have been
bothering us may come spilling out with less of a filter than usual! During
this Moon we must be aware that while the Gemini energy will make it easy to
talk about whatever comes up, we must use our Sagittarius energy and sit with
the feelings for a while rather than over-analysing them. Emotions aren’t
rational so it is important to honour them rather than trying to rationalise
them. Gemini can get quite scattered and we could feel a bit all over the place
during this Moon, so it is important to centre ourselves and slow down.
Underneath all of the Gemini chatter is the Sagittarian truth.
Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, is in Sagittarius sitting right
next to the Sun during this Moon, which will add to the lively, communicative energy
and will also help us have a more expansive, philosophical viewpoint. Mercury
in Sagittarius is forward thinking and able to see the bigger picture. We may
find ourselves “thinking big” during this Moon and it is likely that it will be
a very sociable, jovial time. We won’t hold back about sharing our thoughts
with others, that’s for sure! Jupiter, Sagittarius’ ruler, is stationing direct
the day after this Moon, getting ready to go retrograde on the 9th
of December. This means that his energy is stronger than usual and Jupiter in
Leo wants us to open up and expand our self-expression and creativity. He
invites us to get in touch with our inner child, take some risks and playfully express
who we really are! As children plunge head first into whatever they decide to
do next, so must we! No hesitation or holding back!
Uranus, the Great Awakener, Rebel and Revolutionary, is
forming a positive aspect to the Sun, Moon and Mercury, adding a hint of
excitement to this Moon and somewhat of an electrical charge. Uranus in Aries wants
to awaken us to our own unique potential and purpose and during this Moon we
could have some amazing epiphanies, insights, realisations and breakthroughs. We
could also come up with some ideas which are quite off the wall and unusual.
Uranus helps us to think outside the box. Mars has also just gone into Aquarius
and so we are being asked to be brave enough to stand out in the crowd in all
of our glory! Mars is in Uranus’s sign, Aquarius, while Uranus is in Mars’s
sign, Aries. This means they are in mutual reception, which strengthens the
revolutionary energy and urges us to break out of the mould and try something
new on for size. Comfortable ruts will not be tolerated! We all have a something
special that we are here to do that is unique to us and it is more than time to
step up to the plate!
The Pluto Uranus square is getting very close to being exact
and this Moon gives us an opportunity to be brave and bold, taking risks and
stepping outside of our comfort zones of our own accord rather than having
change forced upon us. The energy of the Square means that powerful changes are
taking place on a very deep level, both personally and on a global level and
the best we can do for ourselves is ride the waves rather than resisting them. This
Moon could help us realise what needs to change in order for us to be more
fully ourselves. Over the past few years we have been slowly shedding our old
selves and stepping into the truth of who we are and while this is unfamiliar territory
and not very comfortable at times, it is time to take another step forward
before we get pulled along by the tide! Resistance is futile!
Chiron in Pisces is challenging the Sun, Moon and Mercury
during this Moon, making us all feel very human indeed. Our frailties,
vulnerabilities, weaknesses and insecurities may be quite obvious to us and could
make us feel a little less confident than usual. It could also be a good time
for clearing outworn beliefs about ourselves and life that are holding us back,
allowing some deep healing to occur. Messages that we received when we were
very young can cause us to believe all sorts of things which aren’t
appropriate! There is something quite beautiful about this aspect, even though
it has the potential to bring some pain to the fore, because it brings a sense
us people sharing their wounds with one another and allowing their more human,
vulnerable side to show itself. It is important not to be too hard on ourselves
during this Moon and to show ourselves as much love, compassion and forgiveness
as we would our friends or loved ones. We can be so hard on ourselves!
My sense is that this Moon could bring up some collective
and ancestral wounds to be healed as well, not just personal ones. Pisces
represents universal consciousness after all. We all carry within us the wounds
of humanity through the ages as well as feeling whatever pain people are
feeling elsewhere on this planet at the moment. We are all connected and what
happens to one happens to all. We may not be conscious of it but that doesn’t
mean it isn’t happening.
Overall this Moon definitely has a light hearted, party-like
atmosphere to it with lively, sociable Gemini and fun loving, jovial
Sagittarius being such a big part of the picture! Not only that, but jolly
Jupiter in Leo is inviting us to find the part of ourselves who likes to play
and fully express all that we are. Together with Uranus he is urging us to have
the faith to move forward and take risks and not be afraid to be utterly
ourselves, even if it means sticking out a bit. Uranus and Chiron could also
clear away and heal any old beliefs that might be holding us back from
embodying our truth. We now really need to believe in ourselves and our higher purpose
and make a deeper commitment to the new self that has been emerging. There is a
sense that we are being given an opportunity to make a leap of faith and step outside
of our comfort zones of our own accord. If we don’t, something might happen to
force the necessary changes and that will be far more uncomfortable! This Moon
could make it all too apparent what needs to change and what we need to let go
of in order to do so. There are things that we want for ourselves that would
definitely help us move forward and grow. The question is, are we brave enough
to make them happen?
Much Love
Amy
