This Full Moon activates the Nodes of the Moon, which feels quite fateful and could force us out of our comfort zones and help us to grow and evolve. It is also a Supermoon, which amplifies the energy of the Full Moon and has a greater effect on our mind, body, emotions and spirit. Full Moons are a moment of culmination, when whatever has been simmering away in the background comes to the surface. A Gemini Full Moon is generally quite lively and could bring a lot of communication and mental chatter, not to mention information overload. It is important to watch our thought patterns during this Moon, as whatever we think and say can have a bigger impact than usual.
The Sun is now in optimistic, philosophical, adventurous Sagittarius, sitting directly opposite the curious, talkative, adaptable Gemini Moon. As ever, we are called to find some balance between the energy of the two signs, rather than veering too far in either direction. Gemini is the part of us that likes to gather a lot of information in order to make sense out of things, which can lead to overwhelm as we take in too much. The Sagittarius part of us, on the other hand, has a strong intuition and gut instinct, but may struggle to find the right words to express our inner knowing. Sagittarius can be quite blunt when voicing beliefs and truths! This is where Gemini comes in, helping us to deliver what we intuitively know in a way that people can understand and accept.
The pace generally quickens with a Gemini Full Moon, as our minds are more active and it can feel like a lot is going on. Indeed, we could feel a bit over-stimulated, confused and scattered, as if we have our finger in too many pies at once! Our conversations could have greater significance, and we may find that we need to voice something important. This Moon activates the throat chakra, so we could become more aware if it is open or blocked. There is the potential for throat issues, which could be a sign that we need to work on having a voice and communicating honestly and clearly.
The ruler of this Gemini Moon is Mercury, which is still in Scorpio and is now direct after being retrograde. As such, the conversations we have around this time are not likely to be superficial, but could be deep, penetrating, exposing, emotionally honest, revealing and psychologically insightful. Scorpio is not afraid of peering into some dark corners to bring out the truth, even if it is not pretty! Mercury is also forming a nagging inconjunct to Chiron the Wounded healer, bringing open, candid and potentially difficult, triggering or painful conversations that could ultimately be very healing. Emotions can ride high during a Full Moon, so it is important to be mindful of what we think and say. Our minds could go to some rather deep and dark places with Mercury in Scorpio, and we could find ourselves either delivering or receiving some home truths that are not very comfortable. Scorpio forces us to be emotionally honest, and with the Sun, Venus and Mars all in Sagittarius, the truth seeker, we may blurt out some truths that are somewhat hard to stomach!
The Sun and Moon are forming an exact mutable square with the Nodes of the Moon, which feels very significant and brings a fated quality to this Full Moon. We are currently being called to release ourselves from any unhelpful qualities of the Virgo South Node, such as self-criticism, worry, over analysing, perfectionism or trying to control outcomes. We are being called towards the energy of the Pisces North Node, which involves truly learning to go with the flow, not forcing things but rather recognising the signs and following where we are being guided. Pisces asks us to be fully present and to develop greater acceptance and forgiveness of our flaws, and to cultivate a deeper connection with Spirit. The Nodes are a huge part of this Moon, so it can help to recognise any opportunities we have to step towards the Pisces North Node, and to be mindful when we might be falling back into any unhelpful Virgo tendencies.
With the Sun and Moon squaring the Nodes, we could be called to watch the way our mind works, recognising how our mental chatter, thought patterns, worry and over-analysis prevents us from finding a sense of flow and connection. Instead of overthinking or relying on logic and reason, we are called to still the mind and tune into our inner knowing and internal guidance, reconnecting with our spiritual compass. Pisces calls for us to surrender to something bigger than ourselves, letting go of the reins and allowing Spirit to guide us. There could be some fated conversations or messages coming through that lead us in the right direction. Prayer, meditation, consulting the IChing,Tarot or oracle cards, using a pendulum or talking to a trusted healer, spiritual teacher, therapist or counsellor could be very helpful and illuminating during this time.
This is not the time to rely solely on logic, or try and figure everything out with our minds. The Pisces North Node invites us to heed the quiet voice within, listening to our gut following the signs and omens, even if it doesn’t make total sense and feels a bit scary or uncomfortable. This mutable square could also help us to recognise the inner chatter and stories we are telling ourselves, and to let them go, finding greater acceptance for ourselves. It can also help us to listen to other points of view, rather than getting too fixated on our own point of view. Indeed, there could be some important exchanges during this Moon that could be quite fateful and can show us the way. Messages from Spirit can come in many guises, so it is important to be open, mindful and alert, and we could benefit from opening up a line of communication with Spirit, or God, or Source, or the Divine, or whatever is our preferred label for the unseen forces that guide us.
There is also a Grand Water Trine occurring during this Moon, which is rather beautiful and could really help us to connect to our inner wisdom and guidance. It also involves the ruler of the Moon, Mercury in Scorpio, as well as Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer. Neptune in Pisces is also involved, although more loosely. This Grand Trine calls for us to use our emotional intelligence and feel the feelings, as our emotions can help guide us in the right direction. This Trine invites us to connect with a deeper wisdom, to look beneath the surface and to have compassion for whatever we find there. Saturn’s involvement can make everything very real, and combined with Mercury our thoughts and conversations could be rather real, sombre and weighty.
Gemini may be quite a light, airy sign, but this Full Moon doesn’t feel light. However, this Grand Water Trine does help us to see the bigger picture, while also helping us to keep our feet on the ground and see things as they really are. Luckily the Sun, Venus and Mars all in Sagittarius can also help us to keep the faith and maintain a sense of humour. Sagittarius helps us to find a sense of higher meaning, even in the darkest of times, and can always see the light at the end of the tunnel and a lesson in everything that happens to us.
That being said, Mars and Saturn are also squaring off against each other, exact on Monday 8 December, which could affect our energy levels and motivation, and could possibly make it a bit harder to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We may struggle to see a way forward and could doubt ourselves and find ourselves blocked from acting, or feel physically tired or drained. We may experience feelings of futility and fear of the unknown that prevents us from being brave and taking risks. There may also be ideological conflicts with authority, or force being used by those in authority.
Ultimately Saturn can help us to act with discipline and integrity and could test our capacity to commit to a course of action. We may be called to do the right thing even if it is the hardest thing to do. Saturn teaches us patience, so we could simply need to wait for the right time to act. It may feel like we are procrastinating, but sometimes it is merely a case of waiting for divine timing and inspiration. If the way forward feels blocked, it may help to simply trust that now isn’t the time, and that we will somehow know the right time to act. Possibly we are simply being called to surrender our will to a higher authority. Those of us with personal planets or angles within a couple of degrees of 25° of a sign will feel the energy of this Mars Saturn square the most acutely, especially the mutable signs, Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces.
The Sabian symbol for this Moon, at 14° Gemini, feels like it is pointing us to the Pisces North Node and the Grand Water Trine: “Bridging physical space and social distinctions, two men communicate telepathically”, which Dane Rudyar describes as “The capacity to transcend the limitations of bodily existence. In order to function in the world of material entities man needs to focus the energies of life in a limited organism and an ego-mind that is formed by the pressures of a particular culture and family background. Yet a time comes when the individual can still transcend the limiting boundaries of culture and ego. An effort should then be made to enter a realm of consciousness in which the communication from mind to mind can take a more direct form, because the minds then operate within the One Mind of humanity. It is then as if two cells in human body were communicating to each other, perhaps through some kind of invisible nerve channels, or, as it were, from nucleus to nucleus by means of vibratory resonance. With this symbol we see the potentiality of a new technique to be used in the “newly opened lands” confronting the pioneers in human evolution. It is a TECHNIQUE OF TRANSCENDENCE. It evidently can also bring confusion and many failures, as well as illusory claims and self-deceit.”
This symbol seems to be calling for us to connect in ways that transcend words, and to interact on a more felt, intuitive, emotional level. There is more going on in each conversation than mere words, and maybe we are being called to tap into the deeper thread that runs alongside our interactions. Neptune is still sitting at 29° Pisces, where it will stay until 26 January. As we near the end of the Year of the Snake and prepare to move into the Fire Horse year on 17 February, what else do we need to shed? What remains for us to release and let go of? What is coming to completion? What started in 2011, when Neptune entered Pisces, that is now culminating? It does feel as if we are being called to turn inward, for now, and connect deeply with our emotions and inner guidance system, and that the most important conversation that we can have right now is with Spirit. As we do so, hopefully we will be shown the way.
