Full Moon in Gemini: Chat It Out

 

Full Moon at 19° of Gemini at 12:12 am EST on December 12, 2019

give voice to what’s on your mind

December’s full moon slips a layer of frivolity and chat into an otherwise heavy layer cake. Against the background of Venus’ journey from Saturn to Pluto in Capricorn and Jupiter’s recent ingress into Capricorn tipping the scales heavily towards Earth, the full moon in Gemini opposing the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius bring some excitable banter into the mix.

Gemini’s specialty is communication and the present moment. This mutable air sign is capable of holding awareness of many truths at once and has the gift of being able to change its mind. Whether you spend the evening in lively conversation, with pen to paper or simply thinking things through, there is the potential to shift your perspective in a beneficial way. The medicine of this full moon could just as easily be a breezy foray into topics of intellectual interest after so much time spent in the emotional territory of Mercury in Scorpio.

Let your mind roam wild and free for a spell! Enough of the heavy depths for now. Humor your curiosity…

After two months in serious Scorpio, Mercury has moved into Sagittarius. While not known for its attention to detail, Sagittarius allows Mercury to soar through the world of ideas with an uplifted attitude. Philosophy is an adventure worth going on! There has been quite a bit of gravity dealt by the stars to merit holding the deep and sacred space of Scorpio but just as important is some consciousness expansion and freedom before we enter an uber grounded and practical Capricornian reality later this month.

Indeed, the sky is already weighted towards the sign of the Saturn-ruled sea goat. On December 2nd, Jupiter began its year long transit through Capricorn, shifting the influence of the enormous social planet in all of our lives individually and collectively. Jupiter in Capricorn indicates slow and steady growth. The territory that has been scoured by Saturn and Pluto will now receive the generous spirit of Jupiter. There is potential here for healing where we’ve known scarcity and meaning to be made of the

Indubitably, there is a backdrop of melancholy and hard feelings this week as Venus travels that same dry land, moving between cold, committed Saturn and powerful lord of the underworld, Pluto. Venus seeks to harmonize and make beauty so ideally some of this will be brought to the challenges we’ve been facing but it could also just feel like a bummer. So do ride the kite of the Gemini full moon as sweetly as you can before a couple more days of big feelings.

This is the last lunation before eclipse season begins with a bang on Boxing Day with the solar eclipse in Capricorn. Care for yourself on your way to your respective holiday festivities. There’s sure to be some big energy in store!
