Message! Full Moon in Gemini

Happy Full Moon in Gemini!

Today at 11:07 PM ET we have the Full Moon in Gemini at 16°. This is the last Full Moon of the year so this holds a great frequency for reflecting on the year as it comes to an end and leads into the last New Moon of the year. There may be angry tears or an euphoric release— both are necessary.

From our reflections this lunation, we can begin to set intentions with clarity when we step into the New Year after the New Moon in Capricorn on December 23rd. On December 30th, we have a First Quarter Moon to help us focus our energy.

Below, I’m sharing the energy of this Full Moon as well as the Moon Journal Prompts to help you harness this powerful energy. Full Moons are about endings, letting go, and receiving clarity for the next two weeks.

This Full Moon is asking us to stay focused on the task at hand by taking a mental wellness break. Emotions are high as we enter into a pressure test in the House the Moon and Mars are currently occupying. It’s easy to expend unnecessary amounts of energy these next two weeks. Gemini is the sign associated with communicating, lightheartedness, siblings, mischief, duality, and curiosity. When the Moon is in Gemini, you are dealing with matters of the Mind and communication. As I mentioned above, this is a pressure test that will force us to deal with harsh realities. It’s also a time to reflect on our year and the progress made. We’ll be seeing what needs to be changed and what is viable to bring up as we head into Capricorn season.

This energy works if you do and is best used on self-development and sharing rather than in trying to convince people or confront people— leave that for Capricorn season.

The Moon will conjoin Mars which is retrograding in the sign of Gemini until the middle of next month. Where can we align our emotions to fuel our actions in empowering ways and not destructive ones?

Our mental conditioning is under review.

The power of the tongue is a double-edged sword that can protect or cause harm/injury. How you wield it is up to you. Also, sharing your experiences with others can help bridge the gap in the way we see life and all of its challenges. We’re meant to share stories, to share experiences, to share realities of the complex events of the world. Through sharing, we can start to see that many of the things we thought were “true” are actually not for us or they solidify what is “true”. Of course, be cautious about who you share with and ensure that you are comfortable sharing it.

We’re building a way of life that resonates with our soul and therefore, we have to be clear on what is right and true for us so we can move in the direction that is aligned with that knowing. What is life if we aren’t truly living? To thrive, not just survive. The planet Jupiter went direct recently and is the natural ruler of Sagittarius along with Pisces which gives us a beautiful supportive energy to receive the abundance we are ready for. We also have energy available to start up to set ourselves up to prepare for what we would like to become ready for.

Also, Neptune just went direct in Pisces on December 4th signaling the veil being lifted from what was once hidden from your consciousness. Neptune has been in its retrograde cycle since June 28.

What has been confusing for you since then? What have you been trying to seek clarity around but have had little luck with?

The Moon will form a square with Neptune tomorrow. Mars will meet with Neptune next month when it shifts direct. Pay attention to what’s coming up because it will come up for review next month along with Mercury Retrograde in Capricorn forming a sextile (harmonious aspect) with Neptune.

Now that Mercury has entered pragmatic Capricorn, we can align our focus and actions and fine tune with concrete steps. Mercury enters its shadow period on the 12th, enters retrograde on the 29th, and stations direct on January 18th. We’ll see more of its effects with the next lunation.

Checking In With The Collective Energy

When I come up with the questions for the Moon Journal Prompts, I take into account the energy of the planets as well as the Collective energy via Oracle cards or Tarot cards.

For this lunation, I decided to use the Rider Waite Tarot Deck and The Spells Deck

Rider Waite Tarot:

The Emperor reversed:

Inner authority, rigidity, arrogance, intimidation, lack of discipline

Ten of Wands:

Struggle, last stretch, perseverance, trying to do it all

Five of Cups:

disappointed, dissatisfied, focused on losses, small wins, feel the feelings

Wheel of Fortune:

changes coming, favorable outcomes, life cycles

Overall, there’s a need to reflect on where you have been trying hard to control your situation knowing that there’s a need for change. You want to do it all by yourself believing you have to prove your worthiness, but you realize you only cause yourself more pain. You’re stopping yourself from receiving the necessary support to take you further. It’s okay to grieve the past and the idea of how things should’ve and could’ve been but don’t stay there too long. There’s something amazing on the horizon coming. You’re ending an important life cycle. It’s time to reflect on the journey and take stock of what lessons you learned and the things that came from those perceived setbacks.

You don’t have to know how things will go. You just need to focus on your inner structures, and your inner fortitude to support you.

The Spells Deck:

We have so many tools in our toolkits to support us in all that we do and all that we wish to bring into our lives. Some of us may not have the support in terms of a physical community of people we can commune with and speak about our spiritual experiences and healing journey, but we came into life at a time when we are able to connect online to meet like minds. Also, our spiritual team and ancestors are always nearby.

Have faith that all things are working in your favor.

Moon journal prompts

Use these prompts to journal with or meditate on. If you’re like me, retreating to a quiet space in your home, putting on some background music like solfeggio frequencies or my new favorite, “Faith’s Hymn” by Beautiful Chorus, and lighting a candle or incense helps calm the mind and allows you to tune in to what’s trying to get your attention. (I link my favorite playlists from Apple Music so you can tune in).

Take care,
