This month we have an upbeat, social & forwardly progressive Full Moon in Gemini. 

With Solstice on the 21st Dec almost upon us, now is the time to look back and acknowledge all the wonderful things we have experienced, learned and achieved in the last year. Now is a good time to think of the exciting new things to plan for the next 12 months. 

Gemini encourages us to look at the positives, really delve into what’s currently inspiring us and to share what we have learned with others through talking, writing and socialising. 

Ruled by Mercury, the God of magick, we are reminded this month, that we truly are Magicians. 

Gemini / Sagittarius Axis

This Full Moon the axis between the two polar opposite signs of Gemini & Sagittarius is activated. This is the axis of the mind and the power of mentalism. The “i think” principle vs. the “i perceive” principle. Gemini gives us a retrospect of our childhood, a reminder of what has shaped us, our past. Our logical, analytical thought processes developed from early years. Gemini reminds us to be mindful of the present, to learn through questioning our reality and to explore our immediate reality. 

Sagittarius on the other hand, projects into the future, spreads the mental wings to think big and explore further afield. Education in Gemini, becomes widsom in Sagittarius.

Both signs are incredibly charming, have the gift of the gab and embody a positive can do, will do attitude. Gemini learns through questioning and analysing, whilst Sagittarius learns through experience and spiritual belief. The idea is that we are always striving for a good healthy balance, so that we can express our thoughts in such a way that we can manifest our most lofty aspirations. With these two signs,  it’s literally mind over matter.

Uranus in Aries square Pluto in Capricorn

Uranus powerfully and often dramatically liberates us from what has been holding us back, it’s time for personal revolution. 

In Aries this might present itself as a sudden change, the important thing is that we trust our internal strength and rise to the challenge. Even though it might seem stressful at the time, this eventually leads to a deeper understanding of the self and a profound spiritual healing. 

Squaring Pluto, tells us that this is huge evolutionary shift, a personal rebirth, leading to a greater perception of life and a strong sense of self empowerment.  

Mercury conjunct Sun and Ceres in Sagittarius

This suggests a time in life when we can experience life changing news, this spiritually forces us to grow, to see the bigger picture of life. A deep wisdom is learnt from experiencing this shift,  now is the time to positively move forward along this new path and experience and embrace the many wonders it holds for us with faith and open arms.

Seek out cerebral connections from people we can learn from and share with. Conversations that are honest, humorous and at a higher level, with like minded  companions  we are able to traverse and travel new mental territory, this leads to great personal illuminations.

Chiron in Pisces square both Moon and Sun

Pisces being naturally very sensitive, wants to emotionally heal and express through the asteroid Chiron, sign of the wounded healer. Deeply intense and emotional conversations can come up at this time, a sudden urge can be experienced to purge our most intense and personal feelings. 

Although deep conversations and emotional healing can take place, just be mindful that Gemini and Sagittarius both respond with tough, unemotional (Gemini) and brutally honest love (Sagittarius). That said, it’s important for us all to be aware of expressing extra compassion this weekend.

If we are prone to emotional escapism, this transit can be a trigger; this can be alcohol, drugs, junk food or codependent relationships etc. A more positive and self-empowering way to express these emotions would be to channel your inner Gemini, the master of the pen, and write them down.

Leading planet of the chart; Saturn in Scorpio

This signifies an intense energy enabling us to have greater depth of perception. Honesty & trust, come up with this configuration, suggesting it is paramount that we listen to our internal barometer,  if we feel that we might have a connection where this trust is lacking, this will be highlighted at this time.  

Although we are open to talking and connecting with people, it is a deeper connection that draws, dispense with the superficial & seek connections on a higher level.

As the old axiom goes, this is a good time to sift the pearls from the pebbles.

It’s important to have a certain seriousness at this time about our personal plans, this way we have a far greater chance on enabling them to succeed. It’s not a time to superficially waste time or money on situations and things that are not serving a higher purpose to ourself. Resources should only be invested at this time into long term strategies, by doing this steady progress can be made.

Asteroid Astrea in the last degree of Pisces

This denotes a deeply karmic time in our lives, where we are on the brink of a major new threshold of our personal evolution, once crossed this profoundly transforms us. Heavily tied in with past incarnations of ourselves in this life & previous, how we react can mirror both the past & have ripple effects into the future. The Piscean energy encourages us to emotionally embrace these changing times & whilst the strong Aries energy that follows calls us to rise to the challenge with open arms, by doing so we allow ourselves to freely and confidently move forward.
