Full Moon in Gemini December 2017

full moon gemini 2017 contemplation smaller

Sagittarius is packed full of planets during this full moon with the Sun, Mercury (now in retrograde in the last degree of Sagittarius), Venus and Saturn all passing through the sign. As these planets collectively influence more aspects of our lives, the feel is very Sagittarian … a carefree time to throw away (or maybe just relax) the routine of life. Also, the tight Saturn-Mercury conjunct will make us a little cautious in communication with others.

This is all a backdrop for the Sun opposing the Moon at almost 12 degrees Gemini. This full moon, and the period hence through the 12:12 gateway  to the December solstice , is the time to let go of aspects of the self that you do not want to take forward into 2018. A Gemini full moon facilitates this by allowing us to see both sides of the equation (i.e. the twins) to make choices. Gemini is duality and as such it is appropriate to be in two minds about what we want.

While it is true we have both light and dark within us, the one that flourishes is the one we feed. And so it is with choices – that which we agree to bless and leave behind in 2017 will remain a lesson in the past, while that which we embrace will manifest as our future.

The typical depiction of Gemini is the twins intertwined (rather than opposing), reminding us that the other is part of the whole, merely reflecting aspects of self like a mirror. It is always easier to see our faults in others than it is to see in ourselves.

On a wider scale, the Gemini twins represent duality in this heavy dimension where energy is polarized – light/dark, good/bad, right/wrong, internal/external. Everything is of course an illusion, viewed through the clouded lens of humanity, but necessary to provide choices from free will. In everything we experience, there is always a choice as to how we choose to react. This is a time to contemplate those choices.

DSCN7591_insetFor the crystal tragics like myself, I have included a picture of one of my crystals . It is Cassiterite in Quartz. What I find interesting (and related to the post) is the two Gemini carnival-like faces, or masks, which I have highlighted in the inset in the photo. The smiling and the frowning … two sides of the same coin.

Curiously, I acquired this piece a few years ago when the Sun was in the middle of Gemini.

The full moon occurs at 2:45 am Melbourne time on Monday 4th December, which is 10:45 pm Indochina time, 9:15 pm India time, 3:45 pm UK/GMT/UTC, and for our friends in the Americas 10:45 Atlantic (Eastern) time, and 7:45 am Pacific (Western) time, all on Sunday 3rd December.

May you be blessed as you contemplate this full moon and may it light all options available to you at every fork in the road. xo
