Full Moon in Gemini: Realign your thoughts
Hi, Everyone,
What a wild, confusing, and what a rearward way to end the year and begin a new one! Mars, the planet of action, passion, agression, and war, retrograded on December 6, 2024 at 6 degrees and 11 minutes of the Fixed fire sign of Leo.
Mars retrogrades approximately once every two years and is a cosmic opportunity to reevaluate how you take action, how you harness your energy, how you manage your anger, and how you tap into your passions to create.
On the following day, Neptune, planet of dreams, imagination, intuition, spirituality, empathy, deception, escapism, and the netherworld of drugs and alcohol, stationed retrograde on 12/7/24 at 27 degrees and 7 minutes of the Mutable water sign of Pisces. We feel the station of an outer planet five days before and five days after it occurs.
When an outer planet stations direct or retrograde, it enhances and exaggerates the qualities of that planet on the higher and lower vibration. With the case of Neptune, it is sheer creativity, selfless love, psychic intuition, spiritual expression, fraud, lies, avoidance, indulgence, overdoses, and confusion.
Even those that do not know much about Astrology are familiar with Mercury retrograde, as it occurs approximately three times a year, and we cannot avoid it. Mercury rules communication and transportation, and both areas can be challenged.
You can experience travel delays, hear from someone from the past, have miscommunication, and gadgets like phones and computers often can have technological difficulties or break down, as they transmit information.
Mars retrogrades far less often, but it is still a personal planet. Out of all of the planets in the Zodiac, it retrogrades the least. Mars is what gets you out of bed in the morning. It is how you move ahead, how you connect to your passion, and you release your anger. Mars is what drives you, and how you assert yourself. It represents vitality, energy, ego, desire, competition, and sexuality — among other things.
Mars is the Roman god of war and bloodshed. On the challenging level, it represents violence, competition, guns, weapons, and rage. If you review the stories of the past week, you can see some strong Mars stories.
Keep in mind that you can feel Mars’ energy before it becomes exact — whether it is a transit of Mars or the retrograde. Just a few days before Mars retrograded and during the Neptune station, Luigi Mangione shot and killed the CEO of United Healthcare — Brian Thomson — on a midtown Manhattan sidewalk early in the morning. In his mind and perspective, Mangione felt his action was fighting on behalf of victims (Neptune) against a corrupt health care system. President Yoon Suk Yeol of South Korea tried to implement Martial Law, which did not go through but is very Mars-Like. In France, the French Parliament ousted Prime Minister Michael Barnier, and the country is in chaos.
It is currently Sagittarius season, which is a Mutable Fire. It is a very optimistic sign, but it is mutable fire that can easily spread. Unfortunately, there are currently rampant fires in Malibu that destroyed over 4,000 acres of land. Over 1,000 people had to evacuate. Combine that with the recent Mars retrograde, in which Mars is a red planet that can be associated with fire.
There is currently a Grand Trine in Fire that is lucky, but it also exaggerates the fire: The North Node in Aries, which is where you are meant to go towards, and which is ruled by Mars; Mars, which is energy, assertion, and action and is retrograde in the fixed fire sign of Leo, which wants you to have courage and open your heart; Mercury, planet of information, retrograde in the mutable fire sign of Sagittarius, which can spread very easily.
This Grand trine can be lucky, and perhaps this fire in Malibu area could have been far worse; but, it emphasizes both the fire and Mars energy that is so strong in the sky right now.
Jupiter, the Greater Benefic, rules the sign of Sagittarius; but, it is has been transiting in the sign of Gemini since May 26, 2024, where it is in its detriment and is scattered. I feel that since Jupiter ingressed into Gemini, it has highlighted how small businesses really need our support right now. Gemini represents your neighborhood, local environment, and the mom & pop shops that add the scent and flavor to your local zip code.
Mercury, which rules the sign of Sagittarius, is currently in its detriment, as it rules the opposite sign of Gemini; it has also been retrograde and in review since 11/25/24, and it stations direct on very day of the Full Moon in Gemini on 12/15/24.
This is an imagined conversation since I am feeling loopy with all of this energy and trying to emulate the duality and zaniness of this upcoming Full moon in Gemini. “Wow — doesn’t Mercury rule Gemini?” “Why, yes, it does!” “Doesn’t Mercury station direct hours after the Full Moon occurs early in the morning on Sunday, the 15th?” “In fact, it does!
This is quite a Full Moon! Full Moons bring completion, fruition, and they bring things to light. The Full moon can uncover things. The Full Moon occurs on 12/15/24 at 4:01 am EST at 23 degrees and 53 minutes of the Mutable air sign of Gemini. This is a very communcative and social Full Moon. As aforementioned, Full moons bring things to light.
This is doubly so because on the day of the Full Moon, Mercury stations direct at 3:56 pm EST at 6 degrees and 24 minutes of the Mutable fire sign of Sagittarius, where is in its detriment. Mercury in Sagittarius is blunt and to the point. This Full Moon forms a T-Square to Neptune, the planet of the imagination, dreams, psychic intuition, and hidden information.
This Full Moon could uncover deception with the ruler of the Full Moon stationing in a sign that tells it like it is! This is even more likely because The Sun and Moon oppose one another and form a square to Neptune, which can amp up the confusion and haziness a few notches. It can also uncover what has not been seen. Your dreams could be off of the charts.
You can feel very sensitive, but this is a phenomenal time to journal your thoughts of what you want to manifest, as Gemini rules journaling and writing. Neptune rules the imagination, with which you need to connect to truly manifest your magic. It is a time to suspend disbelief but also to pay attention to all of the messages, dreams, songs, and other signals that come your way.
This Full Moon defaults back to the Lunar Eclipse that occurred on 9/17/24 at 10:34 pm EST at 25 degrees and 41 minutes of the Mutable water sign of Pisces. Something big may have happened around that Eclipse, and you find out more information now. You get more of a perspective or insight.
Venus, planet of love, value, income, possessions, and creativity, formed an exact opposition to Mars, which is lust, desire, and sexuality, on 12/12/24 at 5:46 am EST. This a very sexy combination, but it could also represent clashes in relationships, as Venus in Aquarius did have a meetup with Pluto, planet of death and endings, on 12/7/24. Use this to ignite your creativity, as Mars in Leo wants you to be creative.
This current energy is topsy turvy, and there is a lot of mutability over the weekend, which means that things can go in many different directions. The Full Moon is in a mutable sign, whose ruler is Mercury and stations direct later in the day in a sign, where it is in a weakened position. The Full Moon forms a challenging aspect to Neptune, which could heighten people’s sensitive or desire to tune out from their feelings. Be extra mindful of people that struggle with depression or addiction.
We co-create with this energy, and it could be very social with Venus and Mars still forming an opposing dance. The Full Moon squaring Neptune could cast a creative light as well, in that Neptune is the higher octave of Venus.
Venus forms a beautiful angle to Jupiter, and those are the two benefics of the zodiac. These are very difficult times, but this is also the season to celebrate and have gratitude for what you do have. Venus in Aquarius can be quite gregarious; Jupiter in Gemini can bring a social flair. This is also a very creative synergy. It will inevitably be a wild weekend, so be prepared for some unusual stories. All you can control is yourself, and that is one of the lessons of Mars retrograde. Use this Full Moon weekend to journal your desires and to manifest dreams! #fullmoon #astrology #horoscope #zodiac
