Full Moon in Gemini November 2018

While the Sun is keeping court with the majestic Jupiter in the early degrees of Sagittarius, the Moon is making a solitary pass through Gemini, and the full moon occurs just after the Moon enters the sign at 0’52 Gemini.

The Gemini archetype is the twins, and as such Gemini is a representation of the third dimension we are striving to Ascend from; the dimension of duality. Duality is merely two poles of the same degree, and in writing this I am drawn to reflecting on the Principle of Polarity, as documented for example in The Kybalion. Remember the representation of the Gemini twins generally shows the intertwined rather than opposing, reminding us that the perceived polarities are merely illusions; reflections of aspects of the self.

In symbology Gemini informs us that we always have a choice. And when we consider that we, and we alone are responsible for everything that we manifest, the liberty of choice can become one of a burden, because in our perfection we all have a measure of dark and light that seeks to be heard in the forum of the conscious mind, and so inner conflict is a natural result of this.

The increased vibration of the Gemini full moon can thus create inner conflict, which in turn can also lead to indecision and confusion. As the mind seeks to rationalize using the left hemisphere, the energy associated with the thoughts gets trapped around the head area, and can in turn lead to headaches, sleeplessness, vision issues and stomach issues. Depending on the tools that you like to use and work best for you, a few strategies include: chanting: aum to balance the two hemispheres of the brain; color therapy: using the color purple to dampen the effects of yellow (yellow represents the Solar Plexus Chakra and the left hemisphere); crystals: violet crystals such as amethyst; and of course grounding and lots of pure water to better move the energies through the body.

The full moon occurs at 4:37 pm Melbourne time on Friday 23rd November, , which is 12:37 pm Indochina time, 11:07 am India time, 5:37 am UK/GMT/UT, 12:37 am Eastern time all on Friday 23rd November, and 9:37 pm Pacific time on Thursday 22nd November.

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

Full Moon in Gemini December 2017

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.

For 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 4^th 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 3^rd 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

December 2016 Full Moon in Gemini

The Sagittarian Sun is illuminating the Moon at 22 degrees Gemini.

It is always easier to see our faults in others than it is to see in ourselves.

The full moon is 11:05 am on Wednesday 14^th December, Melbourne time, which is 7:05 am Indochina time and 5:35 am India time, 1:05 am Western Europe time and 12:05 am . UK/GMT/UTC. In North America the full moon will occur on Tuesday 13^th December at 7:05 pm Atlantic time, and 4:05 am Pacific time.

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
